NEGRO KIl!aED ON RAILROAD.
I'd Hill. UuiOn sTounty's "Liqhtnina
Calculator, Dies of Injuries.

Santuc, Oct.e 16.-Sundav a
negro died here from the effects
OF an INJURY re- eeived by jumping
from moving train several days
before. At first it was said it
was on the Sout 'hern, and again
it was said it h appened on the
U. & G. S: Up to date that is
not settled, as r 40 one thought to
give it much a ttention in their
busy moments4 Some did not
know it until ht;e was dead. His
name was Ed Hill, was about
8Fown, and di d not have good
sense, only he was a great calcu-
lator, and could work some diff
cult problems "out of his head"
rapidly, but he miscalculated
when he jumped from the train.
It is said he had an u, hole in
his head which struck a cross
tie. No one thought about an
inquest at the time. Later the
coroner was not available, but
q telegram was sent here from
Union-but not official-to hold
an inquest, but the negro was
buried. Everything here to-
wards it was tied up anyway.
There was no one who knew of
any witnesses, or what road to
hook for them on, and there was
no doctor able to make the ex-
animation. So far as is known.

as it is, without any "to-do"
about it.

Negro College Blown UD.

Seneca, S. C. was the scene of
great excitement last Friday
night when a negro college was
dynamited and partially wrecked.
Rev. j. S. Williams, the presi-
dent of this college, it is alleged,
has been making incendiary
speeches, urging the negroes to
not work for white people and to
demand equal rights with them.
He made himself obnoxious to
the community, and it was
hoped that by this hint" Will
liams would be compelled to
leave Seneca. Anonymous let
ters had been previously sent to
him, but these he disregarded.
The sentiment of the Seneca
people is against the act, but
they object to another College
being established there, consid-
ering that they have still an
other besides the one presided
over by Williams and which was
partially destroyed. Some of
the people think this other COL
lege was in some way in con-
junction with the Preparations
of Fridays outrage.

Change ln Dry Goods Firm.

During last week the deal was
closed by which the firm of
Hutchinson & Wicker was chang.
ed to Hutchinson & Caughman.
The new member Of the firm is
Mr.. A. B. Caughman, of New
berry, MIR. Hutchinson's former
home also. Mr.. Caughman will
arrive in Union some time in the
near future; just when, is i'm
possible to say. Mrs. A. M
Wicker, the former partner of
the firm, sold her interest to Mr..
Caughman, but will remain in
charge of the millinery depart
ment until January first.
Hutchinson and Wicker have
been in business only since the
first of January, but even in
that time it has built up a desir-
able trade, and the business has
prospered. From indications it
may be judged that the new
firml will do even a greater
amount of business.

DEAL FOR ELECTRICAL APPARATUS.
New Electrical Apparatus to Cost
About $4,000.

For some time the light and

Last Friday, Mr.. j. H. Gault
made a proposition to Mr.. Jno.
Rodger, agent for the Stanley

asked by the company for a mod

deal ,is made, cost the city $1,000
or 1873, 900, depending on some
items yet undecided upon.

Health Inspector Doing Good Work.

MIR. M.~C. Lake, the city in.
spectof, is manifesting commend
able zeal in his efforts to care for
the health of the community.
He is constantly on the go, and
sees to it that the regulations

that if he has the cooperation
of the citizens there will be very

COL. J. G. BOYD IN UNION.
Adlutant and Inspector General Talks
of Union Company.

Col. J. G. Boyd, Adjutant and
Inspector General elect. was in
Union last Saturday on business,
not official business; but while
here he took occasion to look
into the condition of the military
company.
Col. Boyd says that the city of
Union should by all means fur
nish an armory for this COM
pany. 1t has state property to
care for and the state requires it
well kept. Besides, the other
towns and cities provide a hall,
and the company here should
not be compelled to pay rent.
The city receives the benefit of a
company and should contribute
to its support. We do not know
the time when the presence of a
militia will be of invaluable SER
vice, and it would be an irrepar-
able loss to lose it. And Col.
Boyd intimated that unless
Union did her part the company
would be disbanded. The state
appropriations are inadequate to
meet all demands, and the ex-
pense should be lightened by a
free hall furnished them by the
city. The state of South Caro-
lima appropriates only SIS, 900
for military purposes, and this is
insufficient. Florida's appropri-
alton is $50, 900, and Georgia's is
more, by a great deal, than
South Cardinals.
Col. Boyd while her, talked
with many representative citi-
zens about the matter and ex-
pressed himself as much pleased
with the sentiment he dis
covered. The people, it. seems,
are willing to help the company.
The Colonel assured us that he
would do all in his power for the
Union company, but he desires
this city to do her part.
