On last Saturday night at Salley's,
in Aiken county, Mr.. E. Il. Fischer, an
uncle of Mr.. C. W. Pickering, formerly
of this town, was murdered by negroes.
The deceased was a bachelor, and
few months ago urged Mr.. Pickering
who was then clerk in the post office
here, to 90 and live with him to take
charge OF his vast business interests.
The probability is that this uncle IN
tended to make Mr.. Pickering his
legatee.
L asst Thursday a team and wagon
aded with lumber belonging to Mr..
I. Barron was being driven by Clar-
Z 49, Williams, colored, and through
the caTg7ess loading of the wagon some

the horses, which frighsaaed-tae- an
NAL and caused the team to run. Will
,iams. instead of jumping undertook to
hold the team and in doing so the
WAGON tongue struck post and the
lumber struck Williams in the back
and threw him out Of the wagon. The
man was mortally wounded and only
lived few hours.
The preliminary hearing IN the case
of E. L. Lee charged with abduction
was held yesterday by Magistrate A. j.
Richbourg of Summerton. The case
was remanded to the Sunmerton Mag
istrate upon the affidavit of the defend
ant asking for change OF venue. Lee
was represented by j. NJ. Woods, Esq,
Who took the position that the charge
of SEDUCTION should not hold, because
|. the defendant had not gotter away with
the girl. The Magistrate, however,
found enough in what evidence was
disclosed to bind the defendant over to
the court of General Sessions in the
sum OF $500.
The employees in the store of Mr.. J.:
q. Rigby were given manifestation OF
their employers appreciation OF their
faithful service. On Saturday night be
made each of them a present Of a S5
Stetson hat with his good wishes that
they spend q merry CHRISTMAS. Mr.
Rigby, in thus recognizing the service
of his clerks has set good example.
It has a tendency to make the rela-
tionship between the employer and en-
ployee closer It is good investment
to have consideration for those who are
/ part of the machinery OF a business.
s How often is it that employers care no
| more for those in their employ than
they do for brute; all they want IS
the work they caa squeeze out OF them.
It is because OF this that so few en-
ployees study the interests of their en-
ployers and because the employer cares
nothing for them, they become indlffer-
/ ent also and only work for the money
there is in the job. Mr.. Rigby N thus
presenting his employees with testi-
monial Of his regard deserves to be
commended for his kindness.
