Negboes Killed. —The Greenville
Vindicator publishes a rumor that a
gentleman living in Harris county,
not far from the Warm Springe, in
Meriwether county, caught four ne
groes skinning a cow they had just
killed. Whilst remonstrating with
them, one of them snatched up a gun
and snapped it at him. Pulling out
his repeater, he shot and killed the
negro. Then turning on the others,
he killed three, * and badly wounded
the other.
“This is the way the Vindicator tells it.
As it is stated that there were only four ne-
Kroes at first, we can’t see how four were
Wiled, and one still left to take a pop at. —

Forest Dale,
Harris Cos., 6a., July 20, 1874.
Ed. Visitor —As the time is not
far distant when the people of this
county will be called on to put for
ward candidates to represent us in
the next session of the General As
sembly of this State, it is very im
portant, and becomes us as much, or
more than ever before, to look around
and inquire diligently for our best
and most available men, to act as
our standard bearers in the ensuing
election. For, in my humble opin
ion, it will require snch as these, and
only such, to be successful in the en
suing contest. For certainly this is
not the time to quietly fold our arms
and say to ourselves there is no dan- !
ger. If we but cast a passing glance
at tbe political elements, w'e will
elcm-ly now tK.i nil la uut secure.
Therefore let us for one lime, as good,
intelligent and thoughtful citizens,
lay aside every selfish motive that
heretofore has too often stimulated
ub to action on similar occasions, and
let us—every one of us—come boldly
forward one time, and lay down our
(presumed) claims or personal pref
erences. And if we have indulged in
any personal ill-feeling in any way,
let it all be forgotten, for the present,
at least, and let us unite our best ef
forts in every possible laudable man
ner, in bringing out as candidates and
afterwards electing good, true and
competent men as our representa
tives.
And now, Mr. Editor, while I so
strongly urge cautiousness and care
in our selection of candidates, I would
not be understood as casting any re
flections upon former representatives;
for they have generally been my warm
friends, and men whom I have sup
ported cheerfully .and cordially. I
suppose I say what few others can
when I assert that I have never lost
but few votes that I have cast.
But while we may congratulate
ourselves as having generally done
well under the circumstances that
have surrounded us in the past, let
ns not retrograde, but strives if pos
sible, to do better in the future.
But there is an element of power
we must not ignore, and that is the
power controlled by the good ladies
of the county; for they can render
very important, service in this as well
as all other efforts where peace and
harmony are required to accomplish
an object; and although they are not
entitled to vote, yet they can greatly
assist in keeping the voters quiet, and
getting them to harmonize on proper
persons to be voted for.
But 1 will not extend this article,
only to say again, let us be united,
whatever may be the sacrifice.
Respectfully,
An Humble Voter.
Fine Cabbage.— Sometimes Gran
gers raise their own supplies, and at
other times they “raise” them from
O' her folks. This was our ease the
other day. Our cabbage crop, so
far as heads are concerned, is a fail
ure ; but Mr. 11. W. Pitts has sent
us a cabbage with a head as solid as
we ever saw one, weighing 8 J pounds
a: and measuring a foot across. And
this with not a superfluous leaf. It
was white and sound, and could not
have been told from an imported
Northern cabbage. It is useless for
people longer to say that cabbages
wont head in this country.
A Swindler. —One J. W. Frayser

not be found or heard of.
