The Young Ameuicas.?The Young
Americas with their pet steamer, Un

on their monthly parade. Both men
and steamer in their performances
maintained fully their former reputa

passed their record by making a run
of one hundred and fifty yards with
reel and throwing water in fifty-nine
seconds. Uncle Joe holds his own.
He is as securely grounded in the nf
fections of the men and holds their

a commendable pride in the excellcn-1

DiMK Reading.?The dime reading I
announced by the Young Men's Chris j
lian Association came off at their|
rooms Monday evening and proved j
to be quite an interesting occasion.
Capt. John A. Hamilton read a most
interesting paper entitled ?'Reminis
cences of a Trip Across the Atlan
tic," which was not only enjoyable,
but instructive to every one who
beard it. The style was faultless and
the reading excellent. Quite an in
teresting feature of the entertainment
was the performance of Prof. Van
Orsdell upon the zitter, an instrument
which gives forth the sweetest melo
dies under a master's hand, and the
Professor's music charmed the audi
ence. It is a source of regret that so
few of our citizens attend these read-"
ings, and especially this occasion, ll e
entire get up of which was complete
and afforded pleasure for the most re
fined and delicate taste.
Death of Mus. HuuuEi.r..?With
the deepest pain wc announce the
death of Mrs. Mary Hubbell, which
occurred at the residence uf husband,
Mr. T. C. Hubbell, on Monday even
ing last at 9 o'clock, and was buried
in the Presbyterian grounds on Wed
nesday morning. Her funeral ser
vices were largely attended by our
citizens, both mule and female, at
testing the high appreciation in which
the deceased was held by the entire
community. Mrs. Hubbell was about
sixty years of age and had spent the
greater part of that time in labors of
love, going in and out among her
neighbors, exhibiting all the while a
blameless Christian life and stamping
indelibly upon those with whom she
came in contact the stern worth of
her cwu virtues. Gentle of disposi
tion, nlfecfionale in her attachments
and true to every relation and duty!
of life, she 'eaves behind her a devo
ted husband and loving children to I
mourn their loss and a host of friends
to hold her life as an example in pre
cious memory.

Boliver Making Speeches.?Last
Monday Mr. George Boliver gathered
around him in the Independent En
gine Hall thirty-five or forty colored
people many of whom were women
and delivered himself of a speech emi
nently characteristic of the man and
the occasion. He protested that he
was a friend of the colored people
and was the only white Republican
who had stood by them in their great
est danger and triuls. The speaker
called on his corporal's guard of hear
ers to witness how true he had been
to the party's principles and the col
ored man's interest. Here our re
porter left the scene to obtain pencil
and paper to make n true report of
the speech and when he relumed said,
"tho best cf the gravy had been spilt."
This is sufficient, however, to show
that the irrepressible Boliver is again
upon the trail and is not likely to
leave it, so long as there is the faint
est glimmering of a fat office in the
distance. Our colored citizens know
this and aro therefore content to
drink free lager and listen to bun
combe speeches. Boliver, as a Radi
cal politician, is dead, and his influ
ence cannot command a corporal's
j guard of colored voles.
Death of Mat*. Stkomak.?Tbo
announccmen-t of the death of Mrr..
Mury .Strotna.n, wifo of Jacob .Slro
aiati of,the jF?rk, will-bo received .witii
regret by her many relatives "and
friends. Mrs. Strotnan was struck
with paralysis about tbrco months
ago and died last Friday at her home
in the Fuijc of the Kdistos. Her life
was a useful one, a constant manifes
tation of traits of character that won
tbo love of all who knew her. To the
.Uorcav^d w.e tcudcr our sympathies.
Thk Gr.ouious Foment:.?Sunday,
the Fourth of July, was appropriately
celebrated by the Kdisto Rifles hy at
tending the Methodist Church in a
body. At half past JLO o'clock the
company under the command of
Lieutenants, G. W. Brunson, F. S.
Dibble and P. G. Cannon, entered
the church and filed down the aisles
in single ranks to the reserved seats,
their beautiful uniforms presenting a
strange but pleasing contrast with the
solemn surrroundings. The pastor,
Hcv. O. A. Darby, preached a most
excellent sermon front II Timothy,
11 chapter, and 3d verse, in which he
portrayed the Christian duty of our
citizen soldiery with marked effect
upon his congregation. Monday af
ternoon business was generally sus
pended by the merchants closing the'r
stores and everybody felt free to en
joy the afternoon in the most jolly
way possible. The Ed is tos were out on
dress parade which would have beeu
ten fold more enjoyable had the band
accompanied the movements with
tnaltial music. After marching and
counter-marching the command was
ina-ched up before the cfllce of their
old veteran CapUiu, now Gen. Jus.
F. Izlar, and, after giving three cheers
and a call for the General, wee in
vited by hi in to Kros' Ice Cream Sa
loon to cool off. Here Gen. Izlar ad
dressed the corps in one of his finest
efforts, and, fallowing the inspiration
of the previous day. nicely blended
the moral with the military as regards
young men in discharging their dutj
to the country. Those who heard it
will long entertain a pleasant recol
lection of the speaker .and speech.
The colored citizens gave them
seves up to frolic and fun, ami, until
a late hour, the merry sound of laugh
ter and the dance were heard at the
Independent Engine Uall. With no
politics to disturb or a piranls after
oflicc to direct them, tbo day was one
of unusual hilaiity excited by social
pleasure, picnic and tl^e dance.
Fatal Accident.?On lust Friday
morning a young man calling himself
Edgar Flash informed Slierilf Livings
ton that his paituer on a tramp to
Columbia, Waller Flood, had been
killed about one o'clock Thursday
night about six miles above here by
the down freight train on the South
Caro'ina Railroad. Deputy Coroner
Aiken was immediately notified, and
by ten o'clock was at the scene of the
accident with a jury of inquest. The
evidence before the jury gives us the
following history of the accident:
Edgar Flash wifs engaged as a driver
in the service of a Mr. Lee, living
ten miles above Charleston, and in
that capacity went to Charleston on
the Wednesday preceding the acci
dent for a load of groceries. While
in the city he met the young man,
Flood, whom ho bad known for a
number of years and with whom be
had always sustained intimate and
friendly relations. Flood proposed
to Flash to undertake a trump to Co
lumbia iu order to accomplish an en
terprisc they had set on foot. Flash
agreed to go with him, and Flood re
turned on tbo wngou with Flash to
Ten Mile llili on Wednesday night.
That night they boarded the train
and rode as far as Georges' Station
before they were found out and put
otf. They walked to Branchvillc, wait
ed for the next train, and. getting on
the sleeping coach, rode to Rowes
ville, when they were^igaiu put olf.
From Rowesvillc they walked to Or
rangeburg and remained in the town
during tbo day. That night they
boarded the ten o'clock train and rode
about two miles when they were put
off for the third lime. It was then
agreed that they should wulk to Jam
ison and try to "beat" a ride on the
next train. They walked about two
miles, when they sat down to rest.
Flood placed a bundle of shirts on the
rail and hid down. Flash put his
coat under his head and ulso laid
down,neither intending to go to sleep,
J but after talking for some time,
ami being tired and sufferiug fiom
loss of sleep fiom the previous night,
they were soon in a deep sleep, from
wlrck Flash was awaked by the ap
proaching train when within thirty
I leet of him. llcwildorcd with fear
and tho sudden waking he sprang
from the track, and endeavored to
scramble up the sleep embankment
of the cut. In a minute the train
thundered by, and its fatal work had
been done. Flash returned and laid
I down for a f jw minutes before he was
conscious of tho situation. Ho tbcn
called his ipar.tner., and getliug no au
swer put his >hand on him to shake
him. As ho did so ho .0,11 the warm
Wood gushing /row his wounds.
Stricken with terror at his ghastly
surroundings, Flash., gatheiing up his
coat, ran down the road until be
came to the house of Mr. Richards.
Here he called out Mr. Richards' sons
and acquainted thew with the horri
ble details of the accident. They re
turned with him .and found the body
of Flood lifeless. An examination of
the body by the surgeon revealed a
fracture of the lower jaw and exten
sive fractures of the skull on the
right side of the head. It is proba
ble that the unfortunate young man
never awoke from his slumbers to
realize his danger, and as death wus,
from the nature of his wounds, in
stantaneous, tho horrors of such a
death are some what mitigated. The
verdict of tho jury was in accordance
with the above facts.

On tlie oilier hand cash tr tusai lions w id
make the supply larger Uiau liiedumaiid
and consequently goods tall to bottom

We pay cash lor ad our goods before
they leave the place buiiglil from. Hence
our ability (independent ol our unrivalid
facilities lor buying) to outstrip und un
dersell all our competitors. I lie mer

merchant at home. U will at once bo

is vast indeed, and that tbe buyer on
credit system cannot purchase goods ac
market prices, while we. by jiaying cash,
get the must extraordinary burgain.- at a

it fa therefore quite easy lor us to ?eil

Our system is one of our own. and baa

by it we have established a reputaiiuit
near and dear to us. (Villi honesijr, fair
