The LaGTeus Advertiser, in speaking
of the "shylock businoss" in Anderson,
says: s'Severel bold fellows came into
an Ohio town Last week III broad day
light, raided and looted q bank. The
citizens rose from ail quarters, but the
loeters deployed in military fashion
and made good their retrent The
hoDin Hood style Gf tho West is in
bold relief to tho oily Watsonian
methods of Anderson. Ordinarily the
pen Is (not) mightier than the sword,'
but 1T does como around occasionally
that Magistrate like tho Anderson
wilson is 70 be found and therefore
the County is to be cong al atulated."

Some time ago man was explaining
how juries are drawn, and possibly,
also. slightly intending to apologize for
himself, never having been honored to
be drawn as u juror. AS he proceeded
with this explanation he said men fail
ed to sit on the jury because they were
not subscribers to their County paper,
for, said he, they go to tho list o. the
men who take the newspaper, to get q
list of all the men in the County, aud
accordingly tho name OF any man who
doesn't happen to be taking the paper
is not seen. Now, such ignorance even
of such small things us how n Jury is
drawn is quite characteristic OF only
the class who do not keep up with the
up to- date newspaper, and probably
the County officers would do better to
sometimes 60 to the list of newspaper
subscribers than to the general poll list.
Moral: Subscribe for TIE INTELIIGEN-
CAR and keep posted, and look ut your
neIghbor square and fair with the eye
of intelligence and the face of honesty.
Cmsar Jenkins and Sam Remmie, two
negro convicts ut A. L. Newell's stock
ade, got into dispute over pair of
pants last Saturday afternoon, when
the former attempted to kill the latter
with Il shovel, and would probably
have succeeded had not the guard came
up and threatened to shoot Jenkins if
he did not move on and drop his shovel.
Arriving ut the st0ckade the convict
began cursing the guard, threatened to
kill both he and Remmic, and it was
with some trouble that he was placed
\
cursing the guard, pulled a knife which
he had concealed and threatened to
kill Remmie during the night. The
other cOnvicts confined in the same
stockade with Jenkins were brought
out and occupied other quarters that
night. leaving jenkins By himself.
Next morning Messrs. A. Il. and w. s.
Newell went to the stockade and all
the cnnvicts came cut TO breakfast ex-
cept Jenkins, who was in the rear with
large pitch fork and refused to come
out. A. T. Newell took shotgun,
loaded with small shot, and with w. s.
Newell. entered the stockade and com
manded the negro to come out. He
again refused. VS.. Newell advanced
towards him. when the negro raised
his fork to strike him. A. T. Newell
then fired his gun at the negro's arm,
the load entering his hand and causing
him 10 drop the fork. Drs. j. .. Will
hite and j. &. Harris dressed the ne
gro's wound, after ampntnting three c:
his fingers.
