Sheriff Stops Bull Fight.

Rock Hill, December 13.-The active
interference of the Sheriff was needed to
stop the exhibition of fighting of bulls
dogs, and chickens advertised to be
given at Thomason's farm at 12 O'Clock
yesterday.
In accordance with the instructions of
the Governor Sheriff Logan went to the
proposed arena before the hour fixed for
the beginning of the performance. He
informed Messrs Thomson and Till
man, the owners Of the bulls, of his in
structions and of his intention to carry
them into effect.
The reply was that they, too, had
taken legal advice and that the Governor
had made mistake in choosing his mode
of procedure; that he should have ap-
piled to the Courts for an Injunction.
The Sheriff was not disposed to
split hairs about the matter and, as the
projectors of the programme seemed in
earnest In their determination to force
the fight ii there were any spectators. he
decided to call for help. 4 message to
Capt. Dunlap and the Catawba Rifles
was all that was necessary, and in short
time this company was on the spot,
ready to support the authorities.
This put an entirely different view of
the matter before the bull fighters The
Sheriff and his own constable were good
men and true, but they might not be
able to stop the fight if the crowd came.
But the Sheriff in earnest and backed by
a company always ready to obey orders
might win in any appeal to force.
Thereupon Messrs. Thomason and
Tillman decided to call off the main fea-
lures of the programme and to amuse
those who had come with drag race.
This was done. The prompt and firm
action of the Sheriff and the military
company put an end to all expectations.
There is not much grief over this, but
there is some apprehension lest the at
tention thus centered on that neighbor-
hood should culminate in an investiga-
tion of the rumor regarding chicken
fighting.

How to Proven, croup.

1t will be good news TO the mothers of
small children to learn that GROUP can be
prevented. The first sign of Group is
hoarseness. A day or two before the
attack the child becomes hoarse. This
is soon followed by a peculiar rough
cough. Give Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy freely as soon rs tho child becomes
hoarse, or even after the rough cough
appears, and it will dispel all symptoms
of Group. In this way all danger and
anxiety may be avoided. This remedy
is used by many thousands of mothers
and has never been known to fail. It is,
in fact, the only remedy that can always
be depended upon and that is pleasant
and safe to take. For sale by j. w.

FATHERS OF THE kEoWEE COURIER.
While in Charleston last week

While In Charleston last week had
the pleasure of visiting Col. &. Ia
good at his hospitable HON, nr. Meeting
Street He is Clerk of the United
States Circuit Court, having discharged
the duties of this important office for
many years. Before his removal to
Charleston he served Pickens District as
Clerk of the Circuit Court for many
years prior to the division into Oconee
and Pickens Counties In 1868. Col.
Hagood is an entertaining converse
tionalist, and relates numerous incidents
of the days "before the war;" Among
other things he mentioned the names of
the original founders of The Keowee
Courier when it was established at
+ Old Pickens Court House in 1849.
The paper was started by eight promi-
nent and representative citizens, each of
whom contributed $4,000 as follows:
VIM. X. Easley, Elliott NJ. Keith. VIM.
s. Gresham, VIM. d. Steele, VIM. III.
Trimmier, Jesse w. Norris, Miles N.
Norton and j. 4. Hagood. Jesse w.
Norris was editor and VIM. II. Trimmer,
publisher. 1t was good paper from
the first issue, and they realized well on
their Investment when they afterward
sold out to Col. r. A. Thompson, who
retained his connection with the paper
for forty-five years. Col. Hagood is the
only one of the eight fathers of The
Courier still living, the other seven hay-
ing long since gone to join the great
majority. He has seen his three score
years and ten, and yet his mental vigor
is unabated. His career has been most
successful, and he is enjoying green
old age. His son, b. A. Hagood, Esq, is
one Of the most prominent and success
full practitioners at the Charleston bar.
He has served three terms as Associate
United States District Attorney, and is
recognized as one of the strongest law
yers among the younger members of the
legal profession in the State.

SENATOR MORGAN, of Alabama, has at
last succeeded in gaining the attention
of the war department and the Presi-
dent in the matter of colonizing the ne
gro in the Philippine Islands. The
President has sent special envoy, T. II.
Fortune, colored, to the Philippines to
investigate and report on the conditions
existing there. Senator Morgan's idea
is to solve the much talked of negro
pr oblem by removing them to the
Philippines "to work out their own saliva
ton" Among the inducements to be
held out are "free transportation, homo
stead and twenty acres of land and all
commercial ntages"-something on
a parity, we suppose, with "forty acres
and mule" proposition that was in
cidcntally mentioned some thirty-eight
wears ago.

A Timely SUGGESTION.

tho prudent and careful housewife re-
plonishes her supply of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t is certain to be
needed before the winter is over, and re-
suits are much more prompt and salts
factory when it is kept at hand and given
as soon as the cold is contracted and be-
fore it has become settled in the system.
In almost every instance a severe cold
may be warded off by taking this remedy
freely as soon as the first Indication Of
the cold appears. There is no danger in
giving it to children for it contains no
harmful substance. 1t is pleasant to
take-both adults and children like it.
