Luke Gray Hangs.

Columbia, August 31.-Luke Gray, the
negro murderer of Clifford IlWoodwar
white, was hanged at:Aiken to-day, after
the Governor had respited him 80 days
ago to allow certain whiteifriends to pre-
sent his case. After looking further
into the case, however, they decided
that he should hang,
Gray went to Woodward's. store with
a shot gun and, calling him out. accused
him of insulting his wife, and shot him.
Woodward denied having SPOKEN to the
woman. Gray said Woodward attacked
him when he went there to protest
against Woodward's conduct.
Recently Gray had become nightly
wrought up withIreligious fervor. He
had been seeing visions of various kinds,
and says when heIssked Iabout it that
God spoke by the medium Of tree limb
outside his cell several times to show
that the prisoner had,been forgiven of
his sins and would promptly go to
heaven.

ocoass County Railway.
Greenyllle News. septemb Der 2.

tGreenyille News, September 81
! The Oconee county railroad is now
making some definite plans to lay track
between Townville and Westminster.
The readers viii remember that on
August 10th large gathering of the
country people was held at Townville for
the purpose of arousing some erthusi.
asm in the railroad project, and the
news is given out now that the plans of
construction have taken definite shape.
j. j. Fretwell, who ia president of the
proposed road, spent yesterday at
Townville. He had with him large
number of the stockholders OF the
road. 1t seems there was miBunder-
standing in regard to the date, and all
the stockholders were not present. The
meeting was very enthusiastic one, and
it was likewise successful one.
A motion was made and carried that
those of the stockholders who had sub
soribsd and had not paid in the amount
of their stock that notes should be pr
pared, and in this way $4,000 was place
in the treasury, This $4,000 is not all
that was raised. In fact almost the re-
quired amount for the road has been
raised. Anyway Mr.. Fretwell told your
correspondent to-day that he has no
doubt in the world but that he will have
at least 4O,000 raised by next Saturday.
He intends to take two or three days OH
from his business here and spent those
days at and around Townyille and mn
and down the proposed route and dur
ing those three days he expects to secure
the money.
According to the engineer's report,
which was published in these columns a
few days ago, with $4,000 in the
treasury, the contract for the supply of
cross ties can be let this winter and by
early spring the contract for the grading
can be let and it is expected that the
road will be completed in time to haul
the next years crop.

Bad Negro at EasIey.

A dispatch from Easley on September
list says: There was good deal of ex-
element in Easley this afternoon when
1t was reported that negro had entered
the home of Thompson Lesley and forced
his wife to give him dinner. After eat
ing his dinner he ransacked the house.
1t is thought the only reason he did
not assault her was because people were
continually passing the house. The
brute escaped. Large parties are hunt.
ing the negro and II caught he will
probably be lynched.

Hot Roast for Clemson.
1.-THE Columbia State.l


With your permission, desire through
the columns of the State to express my
views on some of the topics OF the day,
and especially to thank Mr.. McMahan
for his speech at Greenville or so much
of 1t as relates to Clemson College.
1t was my privilege (and had hoped
my pleasure) with my youngest son to
attend the farmers institute at Clemson
college three weeks ago. 1t was any
thing but pleasure, for / can assure you
the treatment the visitors received at
the hands of Clemson College was a
downright insult, and the accommoda-
tions were a disgrace to the dignity of
South Carolina. While the fare was
very poor indeed, / would not and do
not believe any one else would have
complained about it publicly, but the
fare was q small item in the treatment
we received.
In the first place, the barracks or
rooms they gave us to sleep in were
dirty, dusty and mouldy, with an un-
healthy smell about them. Neither was
that all. Every room l went in was
completely possessed Of chinches or
bed-bugs, as some call them. My son
and myself, together with quite a num-
Der OF other gentlemen, spent the night
on the Bermuda grass under the mag
nolia trees just in front of the barracks.
The chief topic of conversation during
the day was bed-bugs. We did not stay
but one night. We would have gone
to the hotel, but there was no room
there.
Nor is this ALL Those in charge of
Clemson College paid very little atten-
tion to the visitors. Very few of them
showed their faces; they were either
away from home or kept themselve in
doors. = at say l believe there is too
much extravaganza at Clemson College.
In this day of graft / believe there
should be rigid investigation at Glenn
son College at once. 1t was a common
expression heard while there, that they
had more money than they knew what
to do with, and they had to get rid of it.
No, sir, would not offend son of
mine by sending him to such filthy,
dirty place as / found at Clemson Col
lege.
Except small patch of cotton as an
experiment l found their crops very
poor indeed. l did not see a single COW
that call fine. did see six fine hogs.
For fear l take up too much of your
valuable space, 1 will say no more at
present. S. G. Major
