With this number TiikSun completes its first volume, and according to news paper lore, the Rubicon is past. >\ e lmvc done every thing in our power to give our readers a good county papi • ami if we may judge from the favorable mentions of the l*ress over the State, and the steady increase of our subscrip tion and advertising patronage, we have not made an unfavorable impression at home nor abroad. The only objection that has been expressed is the size of the paper. Wc stated when we started out that when we felt justified by a sufficient patronage that we would enlarge. That time has come, and in a short time we will give our patrons a larger sheet. 1 u the last three months our subscription has been doubled. No iloubt there are some who have not been pleased. But this is to be exfleeted, as all past experience proves that it is impossible to please every body. We shall endeavor to please ourselves, and are satisfied that by so doing we will please the most of our intelligent read ers. After we have enlarged, the sub scription price will remain the same We return thanks to our friends for their liberal support. Honor to our Devil. Before leaving homo Mr. McGill made arrangements with a printer to till his place while gone ; but that place has been vacant since Monday evening and our Devil reigns supreme. We think John Wilcox deserves credit for his general deportment and for the progress he has made, having only ap prenticed himself to, learn the trade last January. To day he makes up the form for the first time in his life. Murder nt Meeting. Abbeville {Si C.) Medium. Hiram Weems was shot at the Taberna cle camp-meeting on yesterday by Lewis Grant, and there is no chance of his recov ery The circumstances attending this brutal deed have not yet fully come out. but the killing is spoken of as a most cow ardly and cold blooded murder. Hiram was one of the guards at the.camp-ground, and it is said that in the discharge of his duties he insulted Grant, who vowed ven geance, and said that he “ would kill Hiram jf (J o d spared him.” This occurred on last Thursday. On yesterday, Grant and Weems, just after the benediction had been spoken, and the camp-meeting broken up, were joking with each other about some missing bats which Weems jocularly accus ed his murderer of stealing. This infuria ted Grant, who stepped back a few paces, drew bis pistol and tired. The ball entered Weems's forehead just above the left eye, pierced the brain and ranged around the skull to the right. The murderer tied, and at this writing is still at large. A warrant for his arrest was issued by Trial Justice Calhoun yesterday evening and placed in in the hands of Constable Hughes for exe cution. This was a tragic ending to a re ligious meeting characterized by more than ordinary solemnity. •* I am n ( orpornl.” The Armory. The greatest of human littleness is most strikingly illustrated in those instances where the possession of a limited and brief authority serves to render its victim oblivi ous to all the proprieties of his position, and makes him as tyrannical and overbearing to his inferiors, as he usually is obsequeous in the presence of those of more honorable position. 11 is often the case that persons who in dulge in such exhibitions of pompous meanness, come to grief in ways which they little anticipate. The following story illustrates the danger of putting on airs, especially in the presence of strangers. During the American Revolution, it is said that the commander of a little squad was giving orders to those under him, rel tive to a stick of timber which they were endeavoring to raise up to the top of some military works they were repairing, The timber went up hard*and on this account, the voice of the little great man was often heard in regular vociferations of “‘Heave aw p • There she goes heave ho !” An officer not in military costume, was passing, and asked the commander why he take hold, and render a little aid. he latter astonished, turning around with all the pomp ot an emperor, said : 1 am a corporal s fe SZ&ssxs* "• * p “Upon this he dismounted, and lifted until the sweat stood in drops on his fore head. Ami when he had finished, turning to the commander, he said : “MrCorporal when you have another snch job, and have not men enough, send for your Commander-in-chief, and I will come ami help you a second time.” The Corporal was thunderstruck! It was Washington, who, though honored above any other man upon the continent, was not too proud to put his hand and shoulder to the heavy timber, that he mightbenrthcburdetioftho.se who, with* him. in lower stations, were struggling for the defence of the commonwealth. This race of corporals, we are sorry to say, is not altogether extinct. In the nrmy, in the navy, in civil service, and in fact in all departments of life, both secular and sacred, are to be found, here and there, these pompous little corporals, who strut and fume and pride themselves upon their petty dignities; who domineer over and insult men who are older and wiser and worthier in every respect than themselves, but whom the mysterious fortunes of life have placed beneath their petty sway. In church, iu state in religious societies, in Sunday Schools, in the various Associa tions, w here impudunce had shoved itself to the front, and crowded merit to the rear, we find these corporals, and there is no thing which conduces more to the health of their souls than a little “ taking down ” after the fashion of which this incident is an example. Onr young friends who de sire the good will of their fellows, will do well to remember that, before honor is hu mility. and that it is pleasanter to keep down than to be knocked down. Our Savior lias taught us how, by taking the lowest seat, we may receive from the master a call to come up higher; but if honors come to us let ns never forget that he that would be greatest should be servant ofall, like our Lord nnd Master who wash ed His own desciples’ feet. Thomas Rrucc. KlbtrUm Ornette. This aged citizen died of old age, at his home, Eureka, on Monday afternoon, aged 78 years. He was married 54 years ago. and his wife is still living, lias been a consistent member of the Baptist church for over 25 years, and died full of hope in his Redeemer. The deceased was a native of Anderson county, S. C., where he lived until about throe years ago, when, in feeble health, lie moved to Libert to be near his children. The remains were interred at the Pres byterian church grounds this morning. ■ Thanks. 4\ e thank Mrs. X. b. Bowers for fine peaches and an excellent muskmelon this week.
