RAKK MILKNED.
The barn of Mr. J. C. Good rum,
who lives about three miles from
this city was burned on Tuesday
uight last. Mr. Goodrum had his
crop of fodder and about one hale of
cotton in the building, which was
also burned.
The circumstances of the burning
indicated that it was the work of an
incendiary.
Mr. Goodrum’s horse was in a sta¬
ble attached to the ham but was re¬
leased from the stable, it is supposed,
by the party who did the burning.
When Mr. Goodrum awoke at a
late hour in the night and discovered
the fire, the barn was nearly con¬
sumed.
The work of incendiarism, if such,
was so perfect and well managed as
to leave no clue to the perpertrator
of the deed. It is alarming to think
that we have In this enlightened and
Christian country and among a cul¬
tured people human beings so fiend¬
ish as to commit such dastardly
crimes.
Unless some method be devised
whereby such fiends can be overtaken
after having committed such heinous
crimes, who can tell where such
fieudishnese will end ? What better
plan can be devised for ferriting out
such devils in human shape than the
keeping and training in each county
of a supply of first class blood-hounds.
While such method might smack
somewhat of savageism, yet it would
doubtless in many instances discover
to the world tne demons who skulk
behind the shades of night to perpe¬
trate their hellish crimes.
Is there a more malignant, more
adandoned, and more-to-be-dreaded
wretch who walks upon the earth
than he who steals away in the dark¬
ness and applies the torch to proper¬
ty while the owners thereof are
wrapt iu slumber?
A NEGRO KILLED.
On Tuesday last, Andrew’ Hollis
shot and killed Henry Bell, near
Bolingbroke. Both were negroes.
Coroner Britt was called and held an
inquest over the body of the dead
negro, and the verdict rendered was
murder.
The evidence elicited showed that
Henry Bell had been sent by his
mother and was on his way to Boling¬
broke carrying twenty-five dollars
with which to pay a debt his mother
had contracted there. On reaching
the home of Andrew Hollis, he was
enticed by Andrew to go in and en¬
gage in a game of cards with him
and others.
Iu a short time Andrew had scoop¬
ed in about half of the twenty-five
dollars that Bell had, w’hereupon
Bell refused to play more. Then it
was that Hollis resorted to the pistol
and killed Bell, and took from him
the remainder of the twenty-five dol¬
lars and made his escape.
The killing Coloparchee took place at and what is
known as old about
2 o’clock in the afternoon. This is
another of the fatal results of carry¬
ing a pistol about the person.
Andrew’ Hollis, who is charged
with the killng, has been dodging
the officers of the law for some time
on account of another crimminal
offense.

ALMOST A FIRE.
On Tuesday evening last, a
ginery in the vicinity of
narrowly escaped destruction by
The gin was in operation under
supervision of Mr. EL L.
when fire developed in the breast or
the gin supposed to have *»%en cauBen
by a match coming in
the saws of the gin. More quickly
than it takes to tell it the fire flashed
over the lint cotton up to the roof of
the building, and also downward to
the cotton under the gin.
But a sufficiency of water being at
hand the fire was extinguished, and
but little damage was done. Indeed
there was no damage done to the
machinery.
In his endeavors-to extinguish the
fire Mr. Chambless had his hands
quite This severly burned.
is another instance from which
every one who handles cotton should
learn the important lesson not to
handle matches nor have them about
their person when picking or handl¬
ing cotton.
The result of the careless handling
of one match in this way might be
the destruction of a vast deal of prop¬
erty. Indeed all persons who hflndJ«T f
cotton should constantly remember
that it is an exeedingly combustible
material and that nothing calculated
to generate fire should be handled in
proximity to it.
A great many people who are en¬
gaged in handling cotton annually
seem to forget from one cotton sea¬
son to another the danger of handling
matches while working with cotton
in any vvay.
For a sore throat there is nothing
better than a flannel bandage damp*
enedwith Cbamborlain’s Pain Balm.
It will nearly always effect a euro
in one night’s time. This remedy
is also a favorite for rheumatism and
has cured many very severe cases.
