An Error Corrected.

In the quotation given last week
by The Courier as that Of w. p. MIN
mons for cotton and seed at 1885 a.
m.. there was a mistake. At that
hour Mr.. Nimmons was called at Sen-
eca and asked for his quotation. The
reply came back to us Cotton 18c.
per pound, seed $54 per ton." Im-
mediately on The Courier's reaching
Seneca Mr.. Nimmons requested US to
give authority for the quotation, az
he had not given 1t. At that hour
(l025 Il. M, Wednesday, the 18th,)
Mr. Nimmons was paying cpnsidera-
bly, more than our quotation for cot
ton, as the market had advanced.
We regret this error, and we are
unable to account for It, No one at
Mr.. Nimmons' sore gave the quota
tion, we are assured; yet we asked
the telephone central for w. p. MINI

ed to punish Crawford for his rough
language, but trouble was averted
for a while by Policeman Bolts, who
TOOK Crawford to police headuuar-
ters, where he was released on bond.
A few minutes later Crawford was
seen at cotton gin not very far from
the scene, and tho crowd, still anx-
lous to punish him, went for him.
crawford had a sledge hammer in
mis- hand, with which he struck M. Il.
Cam on the head, crushing his skull
ana ifllllctlng n very serious wound
When the crowd finished with
crawford 1T was thought he would
die. He was removed to the countv
jail.
When 1t was learned this after
noon that he was not dead another
crowd gathered, forced the door Of
the jail and dragged Crawford to the
edge OF the town, near the fair
grounds, where he was strung up to
tree and filled with bullets.
Mr.. Cam, who was struck with the
hammer, was reported by his brother
as resting fairly we'll tonight.

The Greenville News endorses tn

The Greenville News endorses the
suggestion that some one write a
book or history of Greenville county
and says that such book would in :
terest most of the people. That may
be true and no doubt such a book
would be a valuable, contribution to
the history of the State. But as a
matter of hard experience we would
not advise any one to write a history
Of Greenville or any other county ex-
pecting it to be anything but labor
of love and without compensation of
any other kind. The people may tell
you how much they want history
of the county and what they will give
to have such a book but when the
book is printed they will decide to
wait awhile and in the meantime the
author and the publisher are out of
their money. We know from exper-
ience. The public does not appre-
ciate at least in a substantial mar
ner any such patriotic service. May
be, if you would print only limited
number of copies and put half of
them away for twenty FIVE years then
you might sell them at fair price.

The Herald and News extends its
sympathy to the good people of Whit
mire in the loss which they sustain
ed in the fire of last Friday. The
stores of Miller Brothers, the Glenn
Lowry company and C. H. Cooper
company especially were among the
handsomest stores in the State and
they carried very large and varied
stocks of goods. No doubt the loss
on some of the smaller firms falls
even more heavily in proportion than
on these large establishments but it
is pity to know that such handsome
stores have been laid low by fire. We
expect to see the pluck of these good
people show itself and even more
handsome stores take the place Of
those burned.
