part Of The following DAY We spent
with that handsome and popular
gentlemen, who we wonder, has never
captured a fair helpmate, Mr.. Ruben
Barr, at the old homestead, where he
and his mother and sister know,
how and do entertain with royal
hospitality. We spent two nights
with Capt. Griffith who everybody in
the county knows is one of the
cleverest gentlemen in her borders
and who keeps one of the best houses
OF entertainment on the line of the
Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta rail
ROAD. Thence we went to that place
of peace and plenty, Col. D. z. Bars
where he and his good wife and
daughter exerted themselves to make
us feel at home and sat us down to q
dinner that Vanderbilt might have
envied. We wound up at Mr.. Thos.
J. Drafts next day where We were
entertained with that we'll known
hospitality for which he and his
better half are noted.
The only reason that we were not
ashamed of our eating capacity at
these hospitable homes, was the con-
slant demonstration of the enormous
quantity of good things which the
County Treasurer and Auditor could
store away. We must be candid
enough however, to acknowledge that
we felt little envious of the Treas
urer, as he was not only the hand
soonest man in the crowd, but we
had daily evidence that he is the
most popular official we ever had the
good fortune to travel with. It may
be that eating heartily makes him
popular with the kind people who
enjoyed seeing their good things
relished
From what we saw and heard we
gather that the cotton crop in this
county is not more than an average
of one-half. The corn crop was good
in some sections but failure in
others. Small grain is being bounti-
fully sown. A great many farmers
are holding their cotton for better
prices.

On the first page of this issue
viii be found several comments on
the resent letter of Gen. Hampton
in which he intimates that he will
organize Democratic clubs independ-
ent of the regularly constituted Dem
oc.atic party now of the State.
1t seems to be The opinion OF all
the newspapers, except a few extreme
radical ones, that the proposition OF
General Hampton is unwise and
impolitic and that the only
result of such a move would
be to bedim the glorious record
of the old General and the abso-
Lutte and permanent division OF the
white vote and consequently an ap-
peal to the negro vote, either OF which
is to be deplored.
We are glad to see that Gen.
Hampton has stated that he
merely made the suggestion and
would have nothing more to do IN
the matter unless the people OF the
State signifed their desire for him
to undertake the work" This, we
think, is wise decision, md it may
safely be affirmed that this danger
of a division of the white voters has
passed, for, if he adheres to this de
termination, he will never be asked
by :'the people" to interfere with
their political affairs.
It is unfortunate, however, that the
letter of General Hampton was not
written in a more amiable temper.
He seemed to have forgotten that a
large majority of the men who were
behind him in '76 are now active and
enthusiastic members of the Reform
wing of the Democratic party, and
that they are now just as patriotic
and as good Democrats as then, and
hence his letter is peculiarly in
sulting and unjust to them.

The Ways and Means committee
propose to incorporate a light tax on
incomes which exceed $500 per
annum, in the tariff bill which it is
now arranging. It is believed that
a 2 per cent rate on incomes above
that amount will yield handsome
addition to the revenue of the gov
ernment and make up any decrease
resulting from a reduction of tariff
duties onimports of the necessaries of
life.

TRIP THROUGH The COUNTY.

In our recent trips in company
with the County Treasurer on his
rounds we were placed under oblga-
tions of most appreciative character
by quite number of citizens Of the
county. We spent most pleasant
night at the hospitable home Of
Uncle Josh Shealy, who is one of the
most prosperous farmers in his Sec
ton. At Mr.. G. W. Lindler's, at
Chaplin, we sat down to most ex-
cellent dinner. He is an energetic,
live business man, conducting first
19asssmwheelwIiASt and cabinet busi-
! night was at the
Y aaK sss HHSef, wMefe mine most; z.-s -
Fl. Suber, who is a clever and popu-
lar gentleman, has unqualified praise
from the travelling public for his ex-
cellent table and comfortable enter
tainment. At White Rock the latch
string of our good friend J. Cal
Shealy, who is q prosperous mer-
chant and clever gentleman, is
hanging way out in the street, so bis
friends can easily reach it. We en-
joyed delightful night with him.
At Irmo we spent night at Mr.. E.
F. Metz's who made us feel entirely
at home and treated as like king.
Winding up the Fork we ate one OF
the best dinners we ever sat down to
at Squire J. " Drehers, who every
body knows as most hospitable and
popular gentleman, model farmer,
prosperous merchant and able Trial
Justice
Mr.. j. L. Berry sat us down to an
excellent dinner at New Brookland.
That night we received the most en-
joyable hospitality at the house OF
Mr.. W. n. Martin. Thence we went
to Mr.. Archie Wolfe's, where we par
took of a dinner fit fors Jan Epicurean.
Mr.. Wolfe is one of best farmers of
the county and is successfully work
ing convict labor. The next night
was spent in the hospitable home of
our old friend, Dr. ". T. Brooker,
who was for years one Of the best
Representatives the county has ever
had in the Legislature, and enter
tains his friends with lavish atten,
tion and kindness. We stopped for
dinner at the Johnson House, at
Swansea, where We had as good a
meal as q critical commercial traveller
would wish. Swansea is prosper
Gus and growing town and we found
the following clever gentlemen doing
heavy mercantile business: Rast &
Rast, and Craft & Johnson. We
were most favorably impressed with
the outlook of the place, as it will be
in the near future one of the best
business towns on the South Bound
railaoad. From there We went to
Mr. Jos. ". Reeders at the Cross
Roads, where we spent the night and
took dinner, and were delightfully."-
entertained by that excellent gentle
man and his interesting family.
That night We spent at the home Of
that whole soul brother, Sam. P.
Shumpert, who has everything
around him to make happy one.

THEY TRIED DYNAMITE.
Fairfax Bank Officers in Very
Grave Danger.

elsO AAASOAs
Special to the GLOBE.
FAIRFAX, Mimi, Jan. 5.-The county
Jail at this place is strong and reason
ably secure, but President Gray and
Cashier Beard, of the defunct bank of
Fairfax, were today secretly taken out
by the authorities and conveyed to
some unknown place of absolute secur-
ity. Excitement runs hign and the in
furiated depositorS have attempted the
lives of the guilty officials. l he smash
of the bank is the first of the kind in the
neighborhood. and it has developed that
one-third of the deposits were received
after the officers knew the failure was
inevitable. Some $1,000 was deposited
in two days before the sus-
pension, and has entirely disap-
peared, the assets showing less
than third that sum. The victimized
deposit0rs would not rest quietly under
their loss, but after the arrest OF the
officials it was supposed nothing further
would be done. Last evening anumber
of strange men were seen IN the town,
but passed without much notice. AT
10 o'clock the jailer from his window
saw group of these men sur
veying the jail, but he was Sc
cure in the strength of the building,
and after seeing the men depart he
went to bed. This morning at O'Clock
he arose, and by chance saw two men
running rapidly from the Jail. An
Investigation followed. and he found
a dynamite bomb lying ON the sill
of the window to the cell in
which the bank officials are confined. 1t
had had a long fuse, which had been
lighted, but evidently part OF the fuse
had been wetted by the snow on the
sill and the light went out before reach
ing the explosive. The cartridge was
large and powerful enough to have
blown the building to atoms.
The bank officers have been secretly
taken away to prevent further attempts
of the kind. Apparently no effort has
been made to locate the would-be
asSassins. ana public sentiment is so
strong against tie defaulters that no
one cares. The broken bank is in no
way to make settlement, as Assignee
Brown has as yet been unable to find
sureties to the extent of $4,000.

brief as possible. No one dares breathe
a word of disparagement upon Mr.Law-
ler'S regime, but there are election
debts that must be paid. and the re

ncipal helm are not overlooking any
debts. 1t is, let it be emphasized, deS-
perate effort to perpetuate the reform
els lease of official domination. The
STRIKERS" must be recognized else
they may turn cold shoulder
and look askanse at tie ambitious
and aspirations of these ''refOrmers"
collectively and individually at the next
election. OF course, this would never
do. for it would mean an overwhelming
defeat at the polls. Then Mr.. Lawler
will be promptly succeeded by one in
full sympathy and accord with ''this
spirit of the times" just as soon as the
limit of his tenure by charter provision
is reached. Whether such an event
will be in accordance with the best In
terests of the city, cuts no figure what
