Second Regiment is Now in Augusta.

Capt. w. E. Gonzales, OF the Second
South Carolina, arrived in the city yes
terday afternoon and will be here a day
or two. He is looking somewhat tjaded
after continuous travel since last
Wednesday, butts none the worse in
health for his stay in Cuba.
In speaking Of the regiment, part of
which arrived in Augusta yesterday,
he said that according to the last or
ders received, the Second is to be mus
tered out in Augusta. The regiment
is being moved over by the Plant
Steamship company. Seven companies
are now encamped at Augusta. The
eighth, with the band and in charge of
Col. Jones, is expected on Tuesday.
The Third battalion was scheduled to
sail from Havana Sunday on the steam
ship Yarmouth, and will probably be in
Augusta Wednesday night. The loca-
ton of the camp in Augusta is an ex-
cellent one, being that occupied by the
Ohio regiment, just mustered out. The
tent and floors are all in place and the
dining halls are large and much more
elaborate than any this regiment has
yet had.
About a5 men were left in the lospi-
tai at Camp Columbia. They will be
sent over before long i'll a hospital
ship.
There are no serious cases Of illness,
and many OF the patients arc GONZALES
cent. No plans have been made as
yet for the mastering out, but work on
the books will probably begin this
week, and the work should be per-
fected within five weeks. 1t seems to
be uncertain whether thereglment will
be paid off for March before it is mus
tered out.
The South Carolinians have been
very pleasantly received in Augusta,
and the people OF that town promise
that the Second Regiment will have no
cause to regret the change of the sta
ton from Savannah to Augusta. The
change was made, not on account OF
quarantine regulations at Savannah,
but by order Of the war department.-

One Hunter Kills Another.

HAMPTON, March, GA tlcplorlbc
accident occurred last evening atPal-
motto Flat, on the edge of CooSaw-
#hatchic Swamp, which is considered Il
good place to llnntwild turllics. The
Griffin. OF tile firm Of Cummings y
place, was VA ' turkey hunting. ' using the sl,:
customary "tnrSe5y 5 yelnnr l ~ y Which % M
a sound that is an exact imitation of
the wild turkeys ..yclp.'' He heard in
spGnsc sWarnS @naf yep e o 5qppose rcy to DC an c M
exchange OF "yelps'' was continued for
some time, tile "yclpers'' passing
around III u circuitous direction, rs is
the habit OF turkeys. Finally MI. Grif-
fin perceived an object above the low
a turkey walking by him on a log. and
was shooting the turkey which fora
half hour had been answering his
''yclps.'
Immediately after lie fired he went
up to get his game before it could
scramble away, and to his horror, found
Il man fatally shot and unconscious,
with some three or four buckshOt
through his left temple. The unfort,l-=
nate man was &; stranger to Mr.. Griffin,
who had never before seen him, but he
was recognized later by other persons
as Mr.: Doodle, Il white man OF good
standing. aged about 30, who. with his
wife and children, lived at Brnnson.
MI. Doodle was considered an expert
turkey. hunter and also trapped folfur
animals in the swamps.
MI. Griffin, crazcd almost with grief,
ran his horse home, got the coroner, y
party OF friends and % aphysician, and
hurried back. Arriving upon the scene
of the accident, the party of gentle,
men, with sorrowing hearts and kind
hands, brought Mr.. Doodle, still I'M
conscious, to Hampton, but the wounds
were fatal and he breathed his last
about 8 o'clock this morning. The en-
tire community is now overwhelmed
with grief III consequence of the sad
occurrence. There is no citizen in this
country who is more temperate, pru-
dent and kind-hearted than Mr.. Griffin
and it is safe to say that he will do all
in his power to tighten the grief OF MI.
Boobies sorTOwing family.
The .corOner's jury found verdict
this morning in accordance with the
above facts-that the killing was pure
ly matter of mischance, without any
knowledge on the part Of Mr.. Griffin of
the whereabouts of Mr.. Doodle, and
without any intention to do him bodily
harm.
The body was attired in fine new
suit OF clothes, & handsome coffin was
provided, and the dead man escorted
by citizens to his wife IN Brllns0n, the
party leaving here about 1890. Mr.
Griffin paid all expenses.-Neus and

The question is frequently asked il
Col. Neal can be punished for the way
he, has conducted the affairs Of the
Penitentiary. Heis certainly guilty OF
embezzlement, which is crime in
South Carolina, but we doubt exceed
ingly If he ever will be prosecuted.
His bondsmen will probably pay up
his shortage and there the matter will
end. If he was some poor white man
or negro, and had violated the dispen-
sary law, he would have been arrested
and lodged in jail at once.

The continued rainy weather has
made many new good road advocates.
Many think they never saw the roads
SO bad as they have been this winter,
but this is a mistake, it occurs every
winter, or every time there is con-
tinued wet spell. 1t will not be long
now until the sunshine will be with us
and the mud will disappear, andwe are
curious to know how many now ardent
advocates Of good rta;is ;@il dismiss
the question from his mind and think
no more Of it until another winter with
its rain and slush reminds him OF It.
We are too much like the fellow Who
couldn't cover his house because it was
raining, and wouldn't cover it when it
was not raining because it did not need
covering then.

The report now comes from parls
that the Frenchmen over there have
gone to drinking petroleum, or coal
oil, instead of wine Oh whiskey. Well
If the red licker over there is as abom-
inably rotten as much Of the stuff sold
in this country we can't much blame
the frog eaters for drinking coal OIL.
The only serious consequence we can
see that is liable to result from this in
novation is, that the Standard Oil
Company may raise the price If they
notice an increase in the sale, on ac-
count of its being used as beverage.
1t is said that the appetite Of those
who drink the petroleum grow for the
stuff worse than the thirst for alcohol
increases.
