e. numg of business with
A Sad and Fatal Cainalty.
On Thursday last a young negro
man named Sam Thomas was engag
ed in denning out n well at the place
which is well known as the “McComb’s
Mount, in this county, when lie lost
his life in a most distressing manner.
The well was walled with rock and a
wooden curl) nine feet high was at
the bottom, inside of tbe rock wall.
In working at the bottom, it is sup
posed that he dug away the eartli
from under the curb and it settled
down; and in so doing, it gave way at
the top, being probably rotten, and
the planks closed in over him, and the
rocks which had been held hack by
them, fell in on them, and thus, while
protecting him from being crushed,
cut off all chance of rescuing him.
The vein of water was a strong one
and the water before it was drawn
out |was ten feet deep. There were
no white men present and his colored
friends at the top were naturally very
much afraid to go to work down in
the well to remove the rock which
had fallen. One of them however did
venture down and sent up a few rooks
when his fears caused him to come
out of the well. Messrs. Hunter and
Dolly McC'omb were sent for, but
when they arrived, it was too late to
accomplish anything and all the time
the water was rising around the im
prisoned man. He was heard to say
“the water is up to my neck,” and
finally, “Oh Lordyl I'm gone.” and
thereafter all was still. On Friday-
morning the work of takiug out the
rock was commenced under the su
pervision of an experienced well-dig
ger, a new curb in the mean time
having been made to protect those
at work.
Since the foregoing was written we
learn that some efforts have been
made to get up the body of the dead
man but the removal of any of the
material causes the caving in to com
mence again and after considering
every expedient ^hat could be thought
of,|it has been given up as too danger
ous a thing to run any further risk in
the matter. Several persons have had
narrow escapes and Mr. King Cham
pion’s experience was really a fright
ful one. He went down in the well
and moved two of the rocks which
had fallen in, when the dirt and rock
began to cave in rapidly-. The men
at the windlass above began to draw
him up as fast as possible, but the
earth caved in so rapidly that it
caught the tub nnd iilling it, en
veloped Champion's body up to his
waist. With great presence of mind
and a desperate exertion of all the
strength he possessed, he began to
draw himself up the rope, hand over
hand and got clear of the falling
earth and finally reached the surface
of the ground above. These fearful
incidents settled the matter with all
who were there and caused them to
come to the conclusion above stated,
that they could do nothing more to
recover the body of the poor fellow
below. There, we suppose, his body
will remain until the final trump of
the day of judgement will cause the
miraculous rising of the bodies of all
the dead.

Editor Uxion-Rf.cordkr:
Dear Sir:—In view of the great ser
vice rendered the entire community
by- the bold, aggressive and determin
ed stand recently taken by the
Editor of the Chronicle in the sup
pression of the illegal, disreputable
and demoralizing liquor traffic in this
city, he certainly- deserves the thanks
of every good* man and woman in
the county. The Editor of the Chron
icle, Mr. T. H. Morris, lias by his re
cent conduct shown himself to be a
man who dares to do right, regardless
of fear or favor, lie is in my opinion
a moral hero; and all those who have
our city and county at heart should
stand by him and help toliold up his
hands in the great work in which he
is engaged.
It is well to let ibe “Business Men'’
know that prohibition bus a good ef
fect in the county, • The negroes are
working cheerfully and hopefully,
and are far from being depressed and
disheartened on account of the ab
sence of the liquor traffic. Instead of
going to town to spend their Satur
days, they are«at wprk giving six en
tire days to the farmer, and not five,
or perhaps fewer days, as the case
has been. We heard a gentleman say
that where there used to be fifty ne
groes in town on Saturday you will
find one now.
While the good effects of prohibi
tion are shown on every side now it
will be more discernable in the harv
est.
We are rejoiced to know that the
trap for the young, the wine-room,
is no longer in existence.
Yours truly,
May 7th, 1837. Farmkr.
Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
that Contain Mercury.
As Mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucus surfaces. Such
articles should never be used except
on prescriptions from reputable phy
sicians, as the damage they will do
are ten fold to the good you can pos
sibly derive from them*. Hall’s Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, O., contains
no mercury and is taken internally
and acts directly upon the blood and
mucus surfaces of the system. In
buying Hall’s Catarrh Cure be sure
that you get the genuine, it is taken
internally and made in Toledo, Ohio,

advance in priefe, and a great many of them wo can sell CHEAPER than they could NOW bo bought from the manufacturers. We hart-
been fully convinced that the present CREDIT SYSTEM of tho country is not what the people want, and that they cannot AFFORD tr-
stand the CREDIT PRICES, and the only solution of the question is to buy for CASH, and you can buy CHEAP, and when yon mil
your crop next fall, instead of paying it all out for debts already contracted, you will have the money in your POCKET, to pay CASH
forwhat you need. *■
