her. The second was Mr.. Mart V.
Darwin, an old and most highly re-
spected citizen, and one of the bravest
of those who shouldered the musket in
the late war in defense of the South.
The funeral services showed the love
and respect in which the citizens held
him.

THE oRMAND & GOFORTH CASE.

Greenville News, Sunday: City At.
torney Jos. A. Mccullough returned
yesterday from Yorkville where he
went to represent the city of Greenville
in its suit against Ormand & Goforth,
the contractors who excavated the
sewer trenches some years ago. The
suit is against the firm and their
sureties for 81, 100 money advanced to
the contractors for the purchase of tools
and dynamite, and on two notes Of
g, 900 each for money advanced them
for the prosecution of the work.
The defendants in their answer,
among other things charged that
through the fraud or mistake of the
city engineer in classifying material,
and omitting to include in the final
estimate various items of work which
contractors claim they did, the city
council was due them the sum Of ST.
900, which they set up as counter
claim and defense TO the plaintiffs
cause of action. This the city denies.
The cases have been once to the su-
preme court upon the mwle of trial
and the contention was decided in
favor of the city. The suit now is to
compel the bondsmen to pay to the
city, the Sc, 100 claimed. 1t was re-
ferred to Z. B. Rugsdale, Of The Winns-
boro bar, to take the testimony as

Washington the net results of the re-
ports to him, and the statistician at
Washington makes up his reports from
both sets described. This arrange
ment, however, has proven somewhat
unsatisfactory, and the reorganized
corps of correspondents is to consist
of $4,000 men, one from each town
ship in the cotton and cereal growing
section of the Union. The names of
these correspondents, all of whom will
be expected to serve without pay, are
to be procured from the various county
clerks of court. The present organi-
zation is not to be dropped. The de-
partment wants to keep all three sets
of correspondents in order to still fur
ther increase the efficiency of the SER
vice.

however, showed that Greenville's
taxes had gone down from % mills to
13 within the same time, and the area
had remained the same.
Senator Tillman wanted to limit the
total number of counties to 62. He
was not in favor of the small county
idea of his brother George. Neither
did he want the counties too large.
The question of area had to be consid-
cred rather than population, for, if it
was not, the time would come when
many of the cities could be incorpora-
ted into county by themselves. He
thought 500 square miles a fair limit.
His proposition to limit the number OF
counties to SO was killed by vote of
80. The other side was not counted.
The question was still under discus
sion when the convention adjourned.

- The South Carolina people have
pretty we'll succeeded in having their
smoke houses and granaries removed
home from the Northwest, and now is
the time for them to commence looking
into the practicability of opening a
meat market. What is the matter with
the establishment of packing houses
say at Columbia, Charleston and Green
Vile? 1t used to be that climate was
an item in this business; but such is
not the case now. An ice factory ans
wers every purpose. All that is need
ed besides, is intelligent enterprise.
The farmers have learned that they can
furnish the meat, and if they are just
given half a chance, new and impor-
tant industry will be speedily devel-
oped.

- The last issue of The Manufacture
ers' Record contains a photo-engrav'
ing, the subject of which is most strik-
ing. 1t represents the building Of
the CRANKY Cotton mills, in a cotton
field, near Columbia. The photograph
was made about two weeks ago, and
at that time the brick walls of the
mill were about waist high. Out in
the foreground are perhaps a dozen or
more men picking cotton, and behind
them dozens of laborers working on the
walls of the mill. "Bring the mills to
the cotton fields" is illustrated most
strikingly.

Though according to the official
figures there is a small surplus in the
national treasury, the figures are in
some respects rather misleading. The
100000 appropriated for the sugar
bounty has never been paid, and work
has been stopped on almost all the
public buildings. If the treasury
should pay all the appropriations that
have been made, it would be confront
ed with a deficit of something like
s75,OOO,OOO.

The Killing of Moseley.

The Abbeville grand jury has been
investigating the killing of Constable
Moseley, at Greenwood. 1t finds that
the tragedy has probably grown out of
the laxity of the town authorities in
the endorsements of the dispensary law,
and recommends that the governor
give the authorities taste of the me-
tropoltan police. 1t was represented
to the grand jury that the express agent
delivered several packages of liquor
that Moseley had seized previous to his
death, and the trial justice at Green
wood is called upon to see whether or
not the story is true.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1895.
Although the South is having

Although the South is having a
great time just now selling her cotton
crop at 81 and cents, the West is
catching it and catching it heavy.
She has plenty of corn and meat, it is
true; but she can't sell them at prof
table prices. The South, her hereto
fore best customer, has not only made
cotton but she has also raised pretty
nearly all the corn and meat she will
need, too.

THAT SAME OLD ELEVATOR.

Morrow's ginnery had another mar
row escape from destruction by fire
yesterday afternoon. The fire orgina-
ted in the elevator used to convey
seed cotton from the wagons to the
garners, and was caused by friction. 1t
was discovered almost Immediately
after its appearance, and although
the alarm was at once communicated
uptown by means of the steam whistle,
the flames were under control before
the crowd arrived. Fortunately, the
damage was slight but there is no
question of the fact that the entire
plant, including the big mill building,
which is nearly completed, had close
shave.
THE GIN HOUSE DESTROYED.
Within a few minutes after the
above was put in type, the whistle
alarm was sounded again, and the
fire department, still fatigued from
the effects of the fight of less than
an hour before, rushed back to the
scene of the trouble. The gin house
was completely enveloped in a de-
vouring flame. There was nothing
to be done except to try to save
the adjacent buildings. They were
smoking hot and ready to burn
on the instant. Dozens Of plucky
men fought like heroes, and after
Drawing the fierce heat for quarter of
al hour or more, succeeded in keeping
the fire from spreading from the
gin. 1t was hard fight nobly won.
Nearly bale Of cotton was ginned
after it was thought that the first fire
was out. The second fire is thought
to have originated from sparks that
had been overlooked. Mr.. Morrow's
loss includes the gin building, two
new Pratt gins, a press, and about
$500 worth of old bagging and ties.
There was also in the gin house about
two bales of cotton. The entire loss
was about 1900. There was no in
surance.

Fifth Anniversary.

The fifth anniversary of the mar-
riage of Mr.. and Mrs. E. A. Monce]le
of Worthington township occurred
the 18th Of this month. The neigh
bors and friends took it upon them
selves to remind them Of the fact, and
gathered at their house that evening
to the number of about fifty. Mr..
and Mrs. Moncelle had no intimation
of anything of the kind until the
company began to arrive. To say
that they were surprised would be
expressing it mildly. After the pres.
ents were presented the company
were seated and enjoyed to the full
est extent the bountiful repast furn-
ished by the guests. The evening
was spent in singing and playing
games until the 'twee sma' hours Of
morning, when the company left for
their homes feeling that they had
passed pleasant evening, and wish
ing the couple the return of many
anniversaries of their marriage. K
