Meeting of Medical Survivors.?
It is proposed to hold in Columbia, on
the 10th of November, a meeting of the
Medical Survivors from this State, of
the Confederate Army and Navy. All
surgeons and assistant surgeons are
cordially invited to attend. The object
of the meeting is to organize a Sarvi
vors' Association, and to bring the
members of that part of the service
into closer relations with each other.
Those unable to attend and desire to
become members of the Association,
are requested to send their names,
rank and duty to which they were
assigned.
Guilty of Manslaughter. ?Geo.
S. Turner, the wealthy mill owner, of
Spartanburg, has been found guilty of
manslaughter, and sentenced to five
years in the State penitentiary. It
will te remembered that in June last
a dispute arose between him and a
friendless German about a settlement
nf wticr*? at Mr. Turner's cotton mill
"* " "??
in Spartanburg coantv, and during
the dispute Mr. Turner picked up a j
shot gun and killed his? victim instantly.
Notice of appeal has been
served, and pending tha appeal the
prisoner was released on a $5,000
bond.
A Cutting Affray.?From parties
who retnrned from from Atlanta, we
learned that Mr. R. H. Means, of our
county, was severely cut in a diffi-|
cultv in Atlanta ]ast week. "We have
been unable to learn just how the
difficulty commenced, but Mr. Means
received four cuts in the throat, one in
the arm and still another in the side.
After being cut he walked to a drug
store where his wounds were dresed,
and he was then taken to the hospital
where he would receive proper attention.
At last accounts he was doing
well, and would be able to return to
his home this week. His assailant
was unknown, and at last accounts
had not been arrested.
A Painful Accident.?Mr. J. Y.
Stewart, of our county, met with a
painful and perhaps very serious accident
during his trip to the Fiedmont
Fair last week. When at a little
station about fifteen miles this side of
Atlanta, he and a number of other
gentlemen were standing on the platform
between two cars, just as the
train stopped the crowd surged against
Mr. Stewart, and in the push bis foot
slipped between the bumpers of the
cars and was mashed very severely.
The accident seems to have been the
result of the negligence of the engineer.
Mr. Stewart was in town on Saturday
on crutches, and we are informed has
brought suit against the Air Line
.Railroad for damages.
A Sudden Death.?On Monday
1 ' T-T? /-I -\r
nigm last -ur. ouna o. iuynu, ?uv
resides near Dawkins, eat a hearty
supper, and at the time was feeling as
well as usual. He lived with his sister,
Miss Mary Morris, aud during the
night she heard her brother groaning
as if unwell, and immediately went to
see him. She found him in an unconscious
state, and at once sent for
assistance, but when she returned he
had breathed his last. It is supposed
that he died of heart disease. An
inquest was held on the day following.
On Tuesday the Rev. B. F. Corley was
to have been married to the sister of
the deceased, Miss Mary Morris, but
when he went for his bride he found a
house of mourning, and the wedding
was postponed- The afflicted family
have the sympathy of the entire comt
munity in their bereavement.
u A. Good Suggestion?Our esteemed
temporary, the Columbia Begister,
[ | suggests that a body of old Coufed,
erate veterans would be an appro!
priate representation of our State at
i the laying of the corner stone of the
monument to General Lee, which will
take place in Richmond on the 27th
inst. Our State should be represented
by all means, and it is almost
; impossible to secure the attendance of
any of our military companies at this
season of the vcar. bein^ composed
mo?tly of young men whose time is
wot their own. A band of veterans
who followed the noble Lee in his
campaigns, would be a most appropriate
representation. General Iiamp-'
ton is the chief marshal of the occa- I
sion, and he would doubtless be pleased
to see snch a representation. The
suggestion is a good one, and we hojle
it will be carried out.
A Happy Wedding.? On Thursdayevening
Mr. Charles Cathcart, accompanied
by a few friends, left town on
a very important mission. It was the
occasion of occasions for our young
townsman, who was to take on the
same evening, as hi< bride, Miss Mary
Clowney, daughter of Mr. Moses
Clowney, of Buckhead. In the presence
of a number of invited guests the
happy couple were pronounced man
and wife. On Friday the wedding
party returned to-Winnsboro, and in
the evening a reception was held at
the residence of the groom's mother.
A number of the friends of the groom
had been invited to attend and welcome
the newly-wedded pair. We
join with others in wishing- the bride
and groom a happy and pleasant
voyage over the sea of life.
G. jr. CJIA. WJE OUT) & SOU'S 11 IS FLY.
3fessrs. Editors: In Tuesday's issue
we notice the "card" of Messrs. Williford,
Doty & Co. and Ellison, in
which they express anxiety to know
who Mr. Hull refers to in his communication
of the loth inst. We would
state that we are the parties referred
to, and also assure these brothers in
business that there is no cause for
alarm or anxiety on their part. It has
been suggested "to us that the solicitu.
tiou on the part of these gentlemen
arises from the feeling of the Devil
towards Tom Walker. Tom Walker
was a Boston man who was meaner
than the Devil, as was proved in this
wise. Tom Walker formed a co-partnership
with the Devil to carry on a
usury business, and divide the profits
for a long term of years, at the end of
which Tom was to deliver himself up
to the Devil as part of the contract.
Tom had a wonderful run of business
and made lar^e sums of money, but
some time before the contract expired
he was driving such a hard bargain
with a poor, helpless debtor that the
Devil himself got enraged that any
one should be meaner than he was,
aud in his indignation lie mounted a
big, black horse, dashed up to the
usurer's office, and, snatching Tom by
the hair of the head, bore him olT to
hell. It is needless to say we do not
entertain this opinion, but presume
that their anxiety springs from that
"fellow-feeling which makes us wondrous
kind," and that their "card" was
published in order that a brother should
have this opportunity of vindicating
himself.
The following is the transaction referred
to by Mr. Hall: On March 12th,
1886, a farmer purchased a mule from
us, and gave us his note for $192.50,
with his father as surety, together
I with a mortgage ou the mule. This
note bore ten per cent, interest irom
date, and was payable October 1st,
18S6. At maturity the note was not
paid, and after waiting on the farmer
abont five weeks the mule was sold
under the mortgage, before the Court
House door, m~this place, to the
highest bidder. So far, is there anything
in our procedure at all extraordinary
or differing from the usual
course pursued by horse dealers, or in
fact any holder of a chattel mortgage?
The "mule brought 880. Not half
| the price the farmer paid for il! It is
true, however, the animal had been in
the hands of a negrc tenant, had been
over-worked, half-fed and was about
as "fat as a match," when put up for
sale in the fall. Isn't this the traditional
"lien" mule, which we see on
every fall sales-day sold before the
Court Houses in South Carolina? Is
it the fault of the horse dealer or purchaser
that he is in this fix? The ?S0
we gave due credit on the note. Then
we nlaced the note in the hands of our
attorney, Col. Rion, with instructions ,
to collect the balance due, and Col.
Rion commenced action against the
farmer and the surety on his note.
Before the February Court the farmer
came to us and requested us to stop
the action, and he would pay part of
the note and purchase another mule.
To this we agreed, and he paid us
about $60 on the note, and bought a
mule from us for $175. Then he gave
us his note for the balance due on old
note, and 'for the $175, price of mule,
which amounted to $234.50. This new
note was payable on October 1st, 18S7,
and bore ten per cent, interest from
its date. It was paid at maturity.
Now please show us any hardships or
injustice if you can, for this is the
transaction from beginning to end.
As to the bale of cotton paid on mule,
we know nothing.
The farmer has not, as Mr. Hall
says, paid "$302.45 for a $125 mule,"
and we are surprised that one of Mr.
YT^ 11 ?r? infill* rrr\ i , 1 r\ mobn thn ') CCfM'
XJ.au 3 lUltllijjUilVV IV/ IUWUV UMV
lion.
The farmer has paid exactly the
price of the mules for them, but for
his failure to meet his engagements he
has lost a great deal, as any other man
will do. Not paying his debt when
due has cost him S10G.GG on the first
mule, as the mule went out of his
possession and he got only $80 in
return; it .has also cost him a great
deal of interest on first note. But is
this our fauit? Had he paid his note
for first mule at maturity the mule
would have remained in his possession,
and would have cost him only
the price in the first instance.
We have written this communica"tion
primarily for our vindication,
but in the words of Mr. Hall: Ordinarily
the public has nothing to do with
the transactions between private individuals,
but occasionally a case occurs
that I think should be known as information
to the unspecting, and the
foregoing is one of these cases which
I make public, not through spite, but
as a warning to all men to use prudence
and forethought in making
promises to be fulfilled iu the future,
and to never recklesslv promise to-day
! what they cannot perform to-morrow,
j For this is the trap of debt, which is
even worse than the grips of the Devil
and Tom Walker pat together.
