Outlaw Band Is Wiped Out.

Charleston, November 2O.--Henry
Dawson, q desperate, who. was shot
to death at Red Top Sunday night
while trying to throw his wife into "a
well, is the last member of Wild
Bills notorious band of outlaws in
that section.
There were seven members of the
band. Wild Bill was recently killed
by posse which he had held at bay
for hours, and after his death the
gang continued it's depredations.
What is considered good work on
the part OF the officers, however, has
cleaned out the bandits, and there
was public demonstration at Red
Top yesterday when it became known
that Dawson was dead.
For months the strip of country
above Charleston has been terrorized
by the outlaws and numerous mur-
ders we're reported daily. Several
attempts were made to murder Mag
istrate Strohecker, but he escaped.
Red Tops murder recoyd is the
worst in South Carolina, but it is
believed that peace will prevail since
the Wild Bill gang has been wiped
out.

100000 Bales short.

Raleigh, November 19. The col,
leoted reports from this State as to
the present cotton crop show it to be
10000 bales less than the last crop.
The farmers know how pitifulfy
small the crop is. They are unable
to understand how the manipulators
keep down the prices. Last year,
for the first time, the farmers had
the upper hand, and cotton was high
early in the season, with q big Drop.
This year they are in the grip Of the

Edward Youninger died here to-day
from a wound inflicted last evening
with pocket knife in the hands of
his friend, W. j. Clayton, Jr.
The tragedy is tinged with an
unusual sadness because of the ex-
treme youth of the lads, both Of
whom were in their teens, and on f,o,
count of the friendship that had ex.
listed between them up to the hour of
the fatal quarrel.

Columbia, and one of the most
prominent Republicans in South Ca.
rolina.
The boy was in his fathers store
yesterday, and, hearing tho money
drawer ring, charged Younginer with
having opened It,
YouDginer became furious, striking
Clayton with an empty flask, and
cursed him. Clayton then stabbed
Younginer once with a knife, the
blade penetrating to the heart,
Before dying to-day the young
man begged his relatives to intercede
in Clayton's behalf and prevent his
prosecution. He assumed all blame
for the quarrel.

MASSACRE OF The HAMPTON FAMILY.
a Thrilling Story Of the War Of the Reyolu
u tIon--A Boys Experience.

Stories Of the Hampton family are
always read with pleasure, for this
family of answering patriotism has
been closely identified with the most
stirring events in State history since
the beginning ofithe struggle for lib
$erty. AS he is,in receipt Of numer-
llous requests for information as to his
family, Gen. Hampton has consented
to let the appended sketch be repub-
4lished. 1t is the original manuscript
OF the late Gov. Perry and was first
published in June, 1848, in ssMagno-
lia." Following is the story under
the caption:
ssREvOLUTIONARY 1NorDENT-THE
HAMPTON FAMILY"
Anthony Hampton, the father of
Gen. Wade Hampton, was among the
first emigrants from Virginia to the
upper part of South Carolina. He
settled with his family on Tiger
river, in the district of Spartanburg.
In 1775 q war with the mother coun-
try, as England was then called, be-
came inevitable, and it was matter
of the highest Importance to the in
habitants of the frontiers of Caro-
lima to secure a peace treaty with
the Cherokee Indians. To effect
this tho chiefs Of that war-like and
powerful tribe were invited to a
"Big Talk" at some convenient town
in their nation.
Edward and Preston Hampton,
the sons Of Anthony Hampton, were
delegated by their friends and neigh
bors to meet the Indians at this con-
ference, and endeavored to persuade
them, if possible, to remain neutral
in the approaching Struggle, But
the British emissaries had already
engaged the Cherokee warriors to
make an incursion into ehe settle
ments in the upper part Of the State,
at the same time that the English
fleet under Henry Clinton and Peter
4 Parker was to attack Charleston. 1t
Z is well-known in history that these
movements were Simultaneous. "
The young Hamptons had just
returned from this talk with the
Indians when large number of
their warriors commenced their work
of death and destruction upon the
inhabitants of Greenville and Spar
tanburg. After killing the Hite
family in Ennoree, they proceeded
to Mr.. Hampton's where they found
the old gentleman, his lady, their
son Preston Hampton, a lad by the
name. CT Jokn Bynuna, and sn infant
child of Mr.. James Harrison. They
approached the house from every
direction in order to prevent any of
its inmates from escaping their in
human carnage. Some of these
J Indians were known to both Preston
Hampton and his father, and having
received no information of their
Ghoatilities, their visit was at fret
supposed to be q friendly one. They
were met cordially and old Mr..
Hampton was in the act of shaking
hands with one Of the chiefs when
he saw gun fire and his son Pres.
ton fall TO the ground.
This was the signal for an indis-
criminate murder. The very hand
which Mr.. Hampton had, but mo.
ment before grasped in friendabip,
now sent a tomahawk into his skull.
HE wife was soon dispatched in the
same manner. The infant son Of

THREE WEEKS FOR VOTING
THE TRIBUNE CANVASS OF PUBLIC SEN
TIMENT on THE MAYORALTY CUES
TION TO END on FEBRUARY g.

Up to the present date $1,000 residents Of
New-York have availed themselves Of the
opportunity presented by The Tribune to ex
press their preferences for the next Mayor OF
the city. This does not comprise half Of the
readers of this newspaper in that district. In
terest in financial and business enterprises. the
busy social life of the winter season and some
uncertainty as TO the right man for the place
may. with other reasons. explain why so many
readers have failed TO give expression 10 their
views.
1t is not desirable to prolong the canvass in
definitely. however. and The Tribune now an
nounces that the voting will end at p. m on
Saturday February g. next. AL votes received
up to that time will be counted and gazetted in
these columns. The result. tabulated and ana
lyzed. will be announced as quickly thereafter
as possible
Without specifying names. il may be said that
a number OF the men named in the list below
have not looked with entire equanimity upon
the movement among their friends to have them
considered as possibilities for the Mayoralty
nomination. They are merely considered by
certain number of intelligent residents the
kind Of Mayor the city should elect. The Trio-
Une canvass is nothing more than an expression
of public opinion; and such we commend IL
cordially all of its readers who have not yet
voted.
The following table shows the results OF the

OPPOSED To GOTERNOR'S PLAN.

THE STATE CHARITIES AID ASSOCIATION IN
FAVOR OF RETAINING THE STATE BOARD
The Board Of Managers of the State Charities
Aid Association AT a special meeting yesterday
adopted a resolution expressing Its objections TO
the change in the organization OF the State Board
OF Charities recommended in Governor OdelIs
message The first portion OF the resolution is de-
voted explanation OF the impossibity OF the
State Charities Aid Association taking the place
OF the present State Board in a supervision Of the
Charitable institutions OF the State. The reasons
given are that the association is non-ofiCal body
and has the powers given by law the State
Board 10 compel the correction OF abuses and n
force existing laws and make rules they
may be deemed necessary. The powers of the
association. IL is explained. limited TO making
recommendations for changes o improvements.
The association objects to the proposed plan OF
reorganization because il thinks that board of
thTee members could no; perform the work
the same time. II also thinks that the work being
deiberative rather than executive, the different
portions Of the state should be represented more
In detail and It fears that as two ot the members
Of the proposed board are TO be State officers; poll
tics would interfere in the Management and
troll of charitable institutions.
