BISHOP CAPERs ACCEPTS.

Bishop Capers will be at the reunion of
the McGill family, to be held at Smyrna
on September 2. At the recent meeting
of representatives of the family at Beth
any, Mr.. w. D. Grist, ofTHE ENQUIRER,
was requested to inform Bishop Capers of
his selection to deliver an address on the
occasion, and to extend to him an invita-
ton to do so. Following, dated Bishops
House, Columbia, S. c., June 10, 1895"
is what the bishop wants to say in reply {:
Mr.. w. D. Grist, Yorkville, 8. c.:
MY DEAR SIR-Coming home I have
your letter of the 9th instant in reference
to the meeting ofthe McGills in September
next. It will give me great pleasure to
unite with you in such novel celebra-
ton, but really do not know what I
could promise to speak about on such an
occasion. Of one thing am very sure,
that if the McGills had never achieved
anything in this world but to give me my
mother, they would be, in my estimation,
the greatest benefactors I have ever
known. 1t has always been source of
regret to me that could never find out
anything more of my mothers family
than what is written in my fathers auto
Now, about the time-Sept. 2d-I have
no engagement for that date; but unless
I am called to the discharge of some off,
cial duty at that time, will certainly be
with you. With kind regards, am,
Very respectfully and truly yours.
E. CAPERs.
With the certainty of such sketch as
will be prepared by Rev. DR.. Boyce and
Rev. Mr.. Stevenson, and such an address
as may be expected of the genial, whole
souled, soldier-priest, Ellison Capers, al
ready the reunion promises to be an
occasion of far more than local interest.

SHARON, June I6.-The condition Of
the crops has greatly improved since the
rain, though they are now in need OF warm

idently as the result Of cool weather, the
louise has made its appearance on cotton,
and is doing considerable damage. The
corn Is also being injured by bugs.

There are being fewer peas sown on

sown, it made yield Of nearly eight BUSH
els to one.
It has been rather too cool for cotton on
damp sandy soil, for few days, but where
it has been we'll cultivated it Is not suffer-
ing much and few days Of hot sunshine
will remedy the evil. Lice are appearing
in large numbers on some patches OF cot
ton, probably from the same cause, but
little damage has been done yet.

HOW 1T WAS SETTLED.

Not more than seventeen years of age,
ignorant and driven to desperation by
threats of prosecution on account of the
alleged utterances of her own unbridled
tongue, Mrs. Annie Cook, of Bethel, Is
lying at the point Of death. Her condi-
tion is the result of pistol shot wound
that was inflicted by her own hand on
last Monday afternoon with suicidal
intent.
The young woman had been living
with her husband, Mr.. Emmet Cook, on
the plantation of Mr.. Marshall Campbell.
She was accused of having made some
shocking, degrading charges against Mrs.
Ella Rector, another young married
woman of her own age, who lived short
distance away. On Monday morning, a
half dozen or more friends Of Mrs. Rector
came 10 field in which Mrs. Cook and
her husband were working and deman-
ded an explanation. Then followed a
stormy scene in which hoes and other i'm
provised weapons were brandished; but
no violence was done. The immediate
trouble was ended by one of the Rector
people starting after warrant for Mrs.
Cook.
AtaboutI o'clock in the afternoon, while
standing in the door of her house, Mrs.
Cook was heard to say, "Pll settle it and
settle it right now." A few minutes later
there was report ofa pistol, and shortly
afterward Mrs. Cook was found lying
stretched across bed, apparently in the
agony of death. A bullet had passed
through her body, penetrating the left
lung and coming out underneath the
shoulderblade.
The unfortunate woman admitted that
