Citizens of Pine Grove Township
Called to Meet.


The citizpns of Pine Grove
township are requested to as
semble at Meeting Street on Sat.
urday afternoon next at 8 o'clock
TO consider a matter that is of
vital concern to. every taxpayer
who resides in the township.
About 1885 the township voted
bonds to the amount of $4,000 to
aid in the construction of the
Augusta aud Newbtrry Railroad,
which was never built. The hold
ers of these bonds are pressing
them for payment. The amount
now due including accrued inter-
est is something like $4,000. The
citizens of the township must now
decide-and decide at once
whether they will resist the pay
ment of the bonds in the courts or
whether it will be best to effect
settlement by way of compro-
mise. In either event counsel will
have to be employed TO look after
the matter. About two-'hirds of
Pine Grove township is now in
Saluda county but it will he the
part Of wisdom for all parties in
terested to act in concert. This Is
too important a matter to be
neglected. Unless an answer to
the complaint is daily filed the
bond holders will get Judgment
aud have a sufficient levy put
all the proparty in, the township

verv DepIorable Homicide.

I business matters, Mr.. James I
Parks, stock book keeper of th
state dispensarY. and Mr.. Robt
Fl. Covar, one of the proprietor
of the Orangeburg> Patriot, whicl
. until recently was owned by Mr.
Parks, met on the streets o
Orangaburg on Friday last abou
noon, and, after passing a few
words, began firing upon eacl
other at very close range. The
firing did not cease until the
chambers of both revolvers were
empty and then the participants
began to reload for another iusi.
lade, but were disarmed by per.
SONS who witnessed the very un-
fortunate tragedy.
Mr.. Covar received two wounds,
one in the right shoulder and an
other in the hand. The wounds,
which have caused paralysis of
the right arm, are very painful
but not considered to be of a seri-
Gus nature. Mr.. Parks was carried
to The home of his father-in-law,
Mr.. w. II. Perryclear, aud upon
examination was found 10 be NOR
tally wounded. One ball passed
through his chin, a second entered
the right side. wounding the liver
and transverse colon, and a third,
evidently a spent ball, entered the
abdomen. Mr.. Parks lived only
about IL hours but was conscious
almost to the end. arranging all of
his business matters IN detail. The
remains were carried to the family
burial ground at Parksvllle, the
former home of the deceased, for
interment.on Sunday last, being
accompanied by many friends
from Orangeburg, as we'll as a
delegation from the Pythian
lodge of that place, of which Mr..
Parks was an active member. A
wife, and two small sons survive
Mr.. Parks, also daughter by a
former marriage,
Mr.. Parks taught school in
Edgefeld in the early nineties
and afterwards established the
Edge6eld Farmer. which had a
very short career. From Edge6eld
he vent to Marion and later to
Orangeburg, where he established
the Patriot. He sold his paper to
Mr.. Cevar aud Mr.. Funderburg
and moved to Columbia some
months ago. 1t was in connection
with this transaction that the dis
agreement:had its origin.
Both participants being Edge
field men, deepest concern is
manifestedin the very deplorable
affair. Mr. Cevar moved from
Edgefeld about five years ago to
accept the position OF foreman OF
The Patriot, occupying similar
position on the Advertiser force
at the time of his departure.

Nothing else in his conversation
impressed US so much as when he
told US about the good roads OF

such roads here2 There is nothing
that would enhance the value of
lands away from the towns and

Fine Indian Photographs.

We recently published an illustra-
ton of Indian Twins which should
have been credited to Major Lee Moore
house of Pendelton, Oregon, who has
perhaps one of the best collection of
Indian pictures of the north west.
Major Moorehouse's famous pictures Of
the Cayuse Twins has had more re-
cognition, perhaps, than any other
Indian photograph ever taken and he
has now issued an album containing
other striking pictures. "rhe Last
Outpost of a Dying Race" is pictur-
esque photograph Of a lone Indian tepee
or wigwam with a background Of dark
landscape, suggestive in the extreme
of the title Of the picture. Many of
the Moorehouse pictures attracted
much attention at the Lewis and
Clarke Exposition.

Longest Climb in the World.

Imagine making the ascent of Mount
Washington by means Of a staircase.
But a feat akin to this many travellers
in China have accomplished in going
to the top Of the holy mountain, some
six thousand feet above Taingan-fu.
The road leading to it is the best in all
the kingdom. About a mile north Of
the city walls stands a large gate amid
the ruins Of once fiourishing suburb.
Leading from this gate the road is
lined with temples, converts and
shrines, where pilgrims stop to pray if
they are fortunate enough to rid them
selves of the hordes Of beggars.
Where the real ascent begins there
is a stone portal which is inscribed
with the fact that here the great Con-
fucius halted 1900 years ago, not hav-
ing the strength to ascend the six
thousand stone steps leading to the
top. These Taischan stairs are by far
the highest in the world, for, taking
the number of steps in one story Of an
ordinary house to be twenty, the num-
Der of Taischan steps equals three
hundred stories. The coolies will carry
a pilgrim up the stairs and back, a dis
lance of twice sixteen miles, for thirty
cents-fifteen cents for each cOolie.
When the ascent is made one finds
himself upon a large plateau, which is
covered with numerous temples and
stone monuments. The main temple is
that Of the holy mother, consisting of
several buildings surrounded by a
stone wall. The several courts are
adorned with magnificent statues and
monuments of bronze, with huge
statue of the holy mother on the altar,
These doors are opened once only
each year, when an imperial commits
sion comes to collect the money offer
ings of the pilgrims. By means of a
substantial "tip" the guard may be in
duced to push the bar Of the main
gate aside, SO that one may have
a glimpse within. The floor of this
large temple is usually filed with a
heap Of coins Of every description
size, and value, probably represent
ing $4,000 in American currency
The money is divided among the con
vents and beggars of the holy moan
tain, but the largest share goes in
to the pockets of that enterprisins
lady, the Dowager Empress.
