A Night of Horror.
Capt. C. W. Felder has received a
letter from Miss Leila, his daughter,
who accompanied her sister, Mrs.
Shaw and her husband, on a recent
trip North, and who were in the ter
rible railroad smash-up on the Niagara
and Thousand Island Railroad last
Saturday night. She says that they
left Niagara about 7:30 p. m., took a
sleeper, and the train was very long,
drawn by two powerful engines. That
about ten o’clock, they were awaken
ed by a terrible crash that jarred the
whole train, piling all but three or
four cars one upon another. The
Americus party escaped the crash by
one car between them and the wreck.
The scene of the disaster was a small
station about 50 miles from Niagara,
and all parties were kept there from
ten that night to eleven Sunday morn
ing. The night was terribly dark and
raining hard. The shrieks of the
wounded and the groans of the dying
were heart-rending. And all through
the darkness and rain these cries as
sailed the ears of those who were
striving to aid them. There were
about 19 killed and about 30 wound
ed. Mrs. Shaw’s trunk was smashed
to fragments, and right beneath it
was the baggage-master, mashed to a
jelly. His blood covered her cloth
ing, which was gathered up by the
railroad hands, tied up in a sheet and
turned over to her, but of course a
new trunk was soon obtained by Mr.
Shaw. It was a providential escape
of our friends, and we have no doubt
that these delicate and estimable
ladies have had a feast of horror that
they will remember as long as life
lasts, and pray God that may never
fall to their lot again. Our whole
community rejoices with them and
their relatives, over their escape.

Snake Bit in a Boot.
A few days ago a boy gave a Pro
fessor’s son a young bird he had
caught. It was taken home and left,
to be cared for. A little sister of the
boy found the bird, played with it
until tired, and then put it in her
father’s boot for safe-keeping. The
Professor wishing to go down town
went to put on his boot and got his
foot nearly home, when the bird be
gan to flutter and jump around trying
to escape. The astonished man jerk
ed the boot from his foot terribly
frightened, and yelled out “Snakes!
I’m snake bit! Give me brandy!
send for the doctor!” and there’s no
telling where the matter would have
ended if the little bird had not flut
tered out of the boot and thus reveal
ed the cause of the trouble.

A New Variety of Corn.
Mr. Tim Rooks, of Schley county,
was in the city Friday, with a sample
of anew variety of corn that he is
raising. The corn has a red or pur
ple shuck and the same colored fodder
and cob, the grain is white. He calls
it the Nigger-Killer or Dye Corn.
The shuck and fodder will dye cloth
or spirits in which it is put a royal
purple color, and can be used for that
purpose. He handed us a small vial
of corn whiskey in which he had
placed a piece of dihick, that had been
changed from its clear water color to
a beautiful purple. He has two and
a half acres.
Sumter County.
It will be seen from the report of
Mr. Jas. A. Daniels, Receiver of Tax
Ret urns of Sumter county that there
are 2,778 polls. This of course ex
cludes all parties over sixty years of
age who do not pay the poll tax, yet
enjoy the elective franchise, and it
may be safely estimated that these
would swell the vote of Sumter to
over three thousand. The total valu
ation of property returned is $3,449,-
540, against $3,204,336 for 1882, mak
ing a gain of $245,204. A good show
ing, ain’t it? It is the largest in
crease, we suppose, ever made in old
Sumter in one year, and won’t be
beat in the next five.

The Darkey and the Hog.
Once upon a time, as the story
tellers say, we shouldered our gun
and started for the swamps of Muck
alee, to see what we might see. The
hour was early dawn, the stars were
still shining, and the birds had not
yet risen to meet the rising sun with
glad music. As we picked our way
across Alf Bell’s field towards the
railroad, we saw an old darkey in
front of us with a large sack on his
back, and in that sack was hidden
something. He did not see us, as we
were directly behind him, and not
twenty yards distant. He came to
the root of an oak, dropped his bag
and then himself on his knees, and
commenced, “Good Lordy! Mars
God, I’se got down here to ’fess to
you dat I’se jest stole dis ere shoat in
dis bag from Mr. Seeg. De reason
Why I done it was kase he find my
little boy in his briar patch, one day
wid a basket of berries, and pored
’em all on de ground. Now, Mars
God,you made de berries, and I stole
de shoat. Ef yer please sir don’t let
’um find me out. Hide me like you
hid de chilluns of Israum when dey
stole de jewelry from de Egyphums,
and I’ll be dam if I don’t gin one
quarter of de shoat to our parson. I
done kill it by der railroad and lef
der blood dar so he’ll think de cars
kill um.” We didn’t stop to hear
more, but getting off about sixty
yards fired off our gun, and that old
darkey grabbed his sack and went
through the swamp like the demon
was after him.

There is a Baptist Church in South
Carolina which must be about the
most strict in its discipline of any
church on earth. A woman who was
a member of it was excommunicated
for doing too much talking in the
neighborhood. If such a rule should
be applied generally, the probability
is that the aggregate of church mem
bership in the country would be re
duced more than fifty per cent. There
isn’t the slightest doubt that indis
creet gossiping, slanderous, “too
much” talk in any neighborhood, is
productive of more mischief than
many others of the devil’s agencies,
but who ever heard before of its be
ing made a cause of church discipline
or exoommunleation.
