Black, of this city.......On Wednesday
of last week, near McElwee's mill, five
miles south of this city, the 6-year old
daughter of Eliza Rosborough, colored,
was drowned in Fishing creek. 1t
seems that the woman had occasion to
cross a foot log, having an infant in
her arms. The little girl in question at
tempted to follow, but after the child
had gotten out upon the log over the
creek, the mother cautioned the little
one to stay where she was until she
could cross, leave the baby on the op-
posite bank and return to her. No
sooner had the mother turned her back
and taken step or two, than she heard
she was Mortified not to see her little
daughter. Hurrying to the bank,
where she left the baby, she returned
and jumped into the creek, which was
considerably swollen by recent rains,
but after search she failed to discover
the body. She notified the neighbors,
who went to the scene Of the drowning
and made search, continuing daily, but
up to Monday afternoon of this week
the body had not been recovered. The
grief Of the poor mother over the loss
Of her little girl in such a sad manner
| is said to be very sorrowful expert
ence with all who have seen her.......

So. ;. Miss Agnes Shurley, the efficient
stenographer for President Hartzog, Of
Clemson college, is at home for the hol-
idays. 49,. There Is great outcry In
this city against the manner in which
thoughtless mel and boys fire Off the
huge dynamite fire crackers sold by the
several dealers. There Is great abuse
Of this sport and the council has been
called upon to take hold Of the matter
in such a way as to make every viola
tor suffer the full penalty Of the city
ordinance forbidding the shooting Of
fireworks within certain limits. The
provisions Of the ordinance will be re-
published Saturday so that no one may
offend through ignorance. On Friday
night last several thoughtless persons
went out in Oakland and made the night
hideous with bomb bursting. They
threw dynamite fire crackers into the
piazzas Of citizens, the sudden fright
full reports alarming several ladies and
children and one citizen was so Offend
ed at the outrageous conduct that he
gathered his gun and would have given
the visitors a warm reception had they
not disappeared in the darkness. On
Saturday night, while Depot street was
crowded with shoppers, some person,
whose identity may yet be disclosed,
fired one Of the huge dynamite crackers
in front Of the store Of Captain L. M.
Davis, shattering the plate glass in the
windows and knocking a hole in the
plate glass Of one of the windows Of
Hand Bros. This was perhaps an ac-
cidental breaking Of the window glass,
as it is said the cracker was thrown so
as to burst at the feet Of colored
woman, who was sitting on display
bench in front Of the store. 1t was an
outrageous affair, for it is certain that
the woman would have been seriously
hurt had the bomb bursted as was in
tended. The cannon-like cracker how
ever, scattered the crowd before it
could burst. From appearances the
council will collect many a dollar in
fines before the holidays are over......

The officers and members of the Ann
White Chapter. U. D. c., have just rea-
son to be proud of the great success Of
the convention which they were untir-
ing in their efforts to make it. The WIS.,

them. The social functions at the
