Young was away from homo, Mrs. Young hupiieneil to go to the door in time to discover a huge rattlesnake crawl out, from under the house and make off toward the field, and, with the heroic presence of mind not often found among the fair sex, she took the gun and went in pursuit of the monster, and as soon as she got in good shooting distance took deliberate aim and fired, killing the snake which sjxjrted twelve rattles and a button.

While walk ing out near the church he stepped into an old and unused well that hud not lieen properly covered over, and fell u distance of SO feet or more to the bottom. He was con siderably stunned and shaken up by the fall, us may bo imagined, but recovering himself, he begun calling for help from those in the building. Failing to make him self heard, he decided that the Lord would help those who heljxil themselves, and with this thought in his mind he began digging boles in the sides of the well, and finally succeeded in climbing to the top, wet and muddy, but fortunately unhurt. Ed Tullis, a negro living on the Wiley plantation in the Seventeenth district of curator county, was killed on Thursday last by Mose Carter, another negro living on the some plantation. The cause that led to the killing is about as follows: The two men liad been ougngi.it ill making cotton basket* tor several days prior to the one on which the homicide occurred, the agreement between them being that when the work was done the baskets were to lx* equally divided between the two. When the day for tlie division came, however, Tullis refused to divide, claiming all the baskets as his own, and also cursed Carter roundly. The latter did not resent tho curs ing, but on the other hand, evidently desir ing to avoid a difficulty, turned und walked away. This seemed to infuriate Tullis, who at once drew his knife ami advanced upon Carter, all tho time cursing and abusing. Carter, seeing tho knife in the hands of the angry man turned and was immediately pursued by Tullis, who gained on him so rapidly that Carter stooped and picked up a small mallet with which to defend himself, und as his adversary closed upon him, knife in hand, dealt hiiii u blow upon tlie back of tho head with the mallet, killiug him almost instantly. Carter at once surrendered him self, anil was brought to town and given a preliminary trial Friday morning, when the facts, ns given above, wore testified to by a number of witnesses.

The first four were sitting on the gallerv in front of tlie house, near the corner of the building, except Mr. Cochran, who was just on tlie inside, sitting by tin* window, at work on a watch. Mr. McElwain was standing about, eight feet from the railroad track, a distance of about forty feet from tin* drug store. Mr. Cochran was consider ably shocked, and bun us l in several places. At first, it was thought lie was dangerously hurt, but the attention of friends soon re stored him. Mr. Chisholm sustained the greatest injury of any one, and was thought to liave lx*en fatally injured, lie was struck in several places, and his clothes were torn into strings. His shoes, even, were rent in twain and knocked from his feet. An ugly gash was cut on the top of his head, but kind friends did all they eould to relieve his sufferings. For several minutes his life was despaired of, but tlie attention of lus friends restored him hi consciousness. His spine seems to be affected mostly, and is all that Will prevent him from getting over it. The others are out of danger, and Mr. Chisholm may re cover. although he is in a critical condition. The tiuUdlng hud a lightning rod attached to it, hut not properly (nit on, which ae counts/or the ioarlul disaster. Instead of having two ground rods to conduct the electricity into the ground it only had one. The timely assistance of kind friends pre vented Mr. Chisholm from burning up ] s*r haps, as what few pieces of clothing left on him hml caught on fire. Tin* injury to Messrs. McElwain, Shugart, Allred, and Cochran is slight compared to that sustained by Mr. Chisholm. The current of electricity that struck Mr. McElwain cntortil the breast pocket of his i*out, und passed through his clothing and down his body, burning him m several place', and knocking his shoe off. He was knocked several foot from where he was standing, hut as soon as friend* could got to him, wax picked Up and carried to bis store.

Mrs. Loekaby, a lady in Greenville county, is possessed with a strange power, or “force,” similar to that of Lula Hurst, the Georgia electric girl. She is as curious to understand its mysteries os her neighbors arc. The Berkeley'Gazette says that the melon season has Ixx'ii very profitable. One Christ Church planter shipped over 8,000 from a ten-acre patch, the melons costing less than SIOO, leaving a net profit not far short of S7OO.

Net tles, a colored burlier, who was subsequently arrested It is supposed that he believed he would surprise a woman in the room. MONEY FOR ALL. Dr. Pickett, of Worth, Has a Plan by Which AU Can Get Rich. From the Atlanta (Ga.) Journal, Dr. Pickett, the able Representative from the county of Worth, has given much care ful thought and laborious study to the finan cial system of the United States, and has evolved a plan which he thinks will give re lief. To 1 >ogin with, Dr. Pickett has noted tho fact, as a great many others of tis have have done, that there are a few men in this boasted Republic of ours (wherein it is con sidered all-important that every one should be free and equal), who are growing enor mously rich, w hile the great majority con tinue poor and struggle to make the “two ends” lap just a little. The doctor thinks tho proper legislation will relieve this distress ing situation, at least to some extent, and stop tho concentration of all wealth in the hands of a few. To this end he introduced into tho House of Representatives the following resolu tion: Whereas, By the experience of over twenty years it has been demonstrated that the financial policy of the general govern ment, as pursued by the national bank sys tem, has been a failure, and has resulted in making the few richer and the masses poorer; therefore, bo it Resolved, By the House of Representa tives, the Senate concurring, and it is here by resolved by the authority of the same, that a joint committee be appointed, to con sist of three from the Senate and six from the House, of Representatives to frame an address to the Senators and Representatives in Congress, to wit: A memorial to the Senators and Repre sentatives in Congress from Georgia, to in troduce and bake such measures ns may ex jiedite the passage of a bill in Congress to establish a national financial system of which real estate shall bo the basis. One of the Journal staff had a talk with tho representative front Worth for the pur pose of* obtaining his views in full. The doctor said ho had for a long time been de sirous of doing something for tho farmers. They have only their lands ami stock, and these form no basis of credit with the banks. Now, the great want, of this country is money, and how to obtain it is the problem that should claim the attention of all wise legislators. “What is your scheme?” was asked. “Why, sir, just this: The currency, or circulating medium of the country, should be in proportion to the population, so much per capita. Tho Governor of each State, knowing the population of his State, should make n requisition on the general govern ment for the proportionate share of the eur reney, legal tendors, issued by the govern ment.” “How would you distribute it then?” was asked. “Oh? that would bo easy enough,” said the doctor. “The Governor or Legislature can arrange to distribute (lie money to tho various counties; for instance sending it to the Ordinary to bo loaned out on real estate as security. “In this way farmers can get money at a reasonable rate of interest on their farms ns security. The one thing I would insist on is that tho circulating medium of the county should he p*r capita. The money sharks and wreckers would be defeated in their schemes to accumulate all the money in their own hands, loaning it at usurious rates and on such security as they may choose.” The Journal may not have given tho doc tor’s exact language, but the substanoo is correctly reported. The resolution came up for consideration in tho House a few days ago, and Dr. Pick ett made a strong speech in its advocacy. The House could hardly have understood the question, for on motion tho resolution was laid on the table.
