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.
