Ordinary, - - - ll 1-2 & 12 Good Ordinary, - - 12 1-2 Ss 13 I?OW Muddling, 13 Strict Middling, - TOWN ciniimt,. THE VICTIM. A mother sits by the glowing hearth. And she dreams of the days that will come no more, When the? pottage echoed with youthful mirth And the patter of feet on the kitchen floor; When three little jHCketri in a row With three little hats hung oil the wall. And three soft voices whispered low The prayer tho mother had taught to all. ?. i : ,) But tl\e ruddy rays of the firelight Checker a floor that is silent now, And the mother's hand in vain to-night Reaches in search of an upturned brow ; And the three little pegs stand brown and bare, , > / And the rnother eries : " Oh ? but to see The three little jackets hanging there. And thc three fair boys who knelt by me." But one lies under the ocean wave, Down with thc nameless dead; And ono lto~"n a Southern grave God alone knows tho soldier's b< d. Jtut tho day will come when thc trumpet's '* "^"""fi?iind Shall waken the dead to life again Ifc'roni the ocean wave, from thc battle ground, Tho mother knows,', and it soothes her pain, t And what of the youth with the eye of light, The last who clung to the mother's ;. .breast? Better by far did he He to-night. Dead with the twain in their peaceful rest. Better to die in his youthful grace, With never ayblot of disgrace or shaine, Than be thus decoyed to a felon's place, l'or another's gain, shielding a guilty name. And never that mother wept, 1 ween, Such bitter tears for the hoy who lies Somewhere under the grasses green, Or he who sleeps where tho sea gull flies, As she weeps for tho one* death left to ber ner baby boy, who walketh now With the striped guests cs a defaulter, With tlie seal of infamy burning his . brow. -A_S The Governor has vetoed the float ing debt bill. The work on Kobn's new brick store is progressing rapidly. The Town Council has increased the liquor license 850, making it now ?125. Dr. Barton is to build a brick store near to Dr. Duke's drug store. The work hus already begun. There must bc an addition to the editorial staff of the News, vide the mule frolic in the last issue. . Wo learn that Izlar & Dibble in tend soon to build a new oflice, on the vacant lot just below Glover & Glover, opposite the Methodist Church. Wo would call attention to the new law firm of Taylor, Fordham & Law rence. Such a combination of legal talent and ability ought to attract many clients. Browning & Browning have moved their ofllco into the Citizens' Savings Bank building, where they will be found by their old clients ready to at tend to business. m^?W?tst??mm?wa?mmtm?mammm?mtmmB?mm!?b?*^^k^ "We-would call attention lo tho j I piece of poetry at thc head ol* this - column, and. would say, for .he in- j formation of thc public, that the poet j of ti\e Neios is not the author of . . L iu 1 Victim." There was no d?monstration herc on Wednesday in honor of St. Patrick. We would call attention to thc elo quent words and noble sentiments ex pressed by Judge Reed on that day in Charleston, to be found in another column. There is no better indication of the progress of the temperance cause, than the formation of a protective union among liquor dealers. The more unreasonable their opposition, the surer and more complete will be the, triumph of the friends of temper ance. .. . Nothing that we have, witnessed has so convinced us ol' the almost barbarism ot a certain class as.the spectacle of yesterday. As the Gov ernor said in answer to one of the immy telegrams sent lo him : "-Are the people bi Oraugeburg thirsting for blood? I can't understand it." O t?mpora ! O mores I We would call ? ;teutiou to thc com munication cf Hov. Geo. A. Hough, pastor of the Lutherun church, who hus been with Auld f . quautly since his confinement, and whom Auld has requested to act aa his spiritual com forter in the last trying moments. We are not surprised lhat to stir up the corruptions of the past should seem to the News u equally unpleas ant as ihe sprinkling from a pole-cut." Iiut yet the News possesses a great advantage, in this respect, over the rest of the community ; for, however foul a breath one may have, it is less disagreeable to himself than to oth ers. OFFICE SCHOOL COMMISSIONER, \ ORANGEJJUUG CoCKTY, \ March 12, 1875. j Teachers and all other parties who hold legitimate school claims against this county, due prior to November, 1873, will please report them imme diately ul my cilice, tor registration. THOMAS PHILLIPS, School Commissioner. I THE CAMI* MEETING ron CHARLES TON DISTRICT. We are informed that ?the committee of arrangements have fixed upon April 28th as the time for this meeting to commence, at the old ground near Ladson's Station, on the line of the S. C. R. lt. The rail road will carry those attending the meeting at reduced fare. NEXT TERM AT THE CLAFLIN UNI VERSITY AND AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. The next term st this institution will commence on Tuesdaylhe 30th inst. Dr. Cooke and his able assistants are giving, and will continue to give, careful attentiou to each department of this prosperous institution. The terras are liberal, the accommodations and advantages superior. A large attendance ia expected. Do THYSELF No HARM. The Ncius j of last week, under the caption of ?"County Auditors," while venting its spleen upon our State Treasurer, made the following, remarks, which may be taken in a re?ectiee as well as a reflecting sense : " We say to the General Assembly, put the seal of I your condemnation upon those who have damned us by their thievery, and if that doesn't stop them, let ns all come together and break their durned infernal necks I" If the News is absolutely bent upon such a suicidal policy it is the duty of all gcod citi |zen8 to submit with resignation. Yesterday i lie streets were crowded with a crowd of very largo proposions, which came in to witness thc death agonies of a fellow human ticing. But tho Governor had wisely and mercifully reprieved Auld for two weeks. Auld had himself written lo the Governor praying for longer time to prepare for death. There is no hope that his sentence will be com muted to imprisonment for lifo. This short, respite is granted only that he may prepare himself for eternity. We hope the sheriff will not allow any one to visit Auld except those he may call for, and his spiritual advisers. Many, just, to satisfy a morbid curiosity, are eager to visit the pris mer, but all such should be exe hui ed, ind Auld should jhavo every opportunity that can bc ?M be afforded to prepare himself for bis 'levitable fate. Fur the Free Citizen. PESPITEO. .Upon application to Governor Chamberlain, William Auld, who was sentenced by Judge Reed at the Jan uary term of court to be hanged on the 19til of March, bas been respited for two weeks. Governor Chamber lain's action in the matter is deserv ing of the highest commendation norn the Christian community-. Not that ive believe in the too high exercise of executive power, iu interfering with -he decisions of the courts of the :ountry, but for the better reasons vliich follow : 1st. William Auld is an intelli gent man, be realizes thc heinousness )f bis crime, and that, unless par loned by the mercies of God, through Dhrist, he cannot be saved in Heaven. 2d. This preparation bas not been .ompletely made. The writer has visited thc prisoner rom time t time ; conversed with lim, and lind that his sentiments are in elligenlly expressed in regard to his lopes of a pardon. Two weeks may >rove to him an eternity of happiness ; vhile if to-day bc is ushered iuto the Presence of a just God, he might be ionsigned lo a second death. Upon hese grounds the Governor extended he lime of his execution until the 2d lay of April, at which lime, in strict accordance with the justice of the law, ie will inevitably bc executed. This - an act of mercy, not to the body, ?ut to thc soul. Respectfully, REV. GEO. A. HOUGH. ls there a God ? How eloquently docs Chataubriand eply to this inquiry : "There is a joti !" The herbs of the valley, thc cedars of the mountains bless Him; -he insects sport in His beams ; thc stephani salutes Him with the rising >rb of day ; the thunder proclaims [lint in the Heavens ; the oceau de clares His i m.Density ; man alone has laid, "There is no God !"

While you are gazing on he sun which is plunging under the ..ault ol the West, another observer id mi res Him emerging from'the gild id of the East. By '*'hat iiieonceiv iblo ?rmgic does that aged star, which s sinking fatigued. and burning in he shade of the evening, re-appear at .he same instant fresh and humid witti .he rosy dews ol' morning? At every nstant of the day the glorious orb is mee rising, resplendent at noon-day, md setting in the West ; or rather >ursenses deceive us, West, or North, >r South in the world. Everything reduces itself to a single point, fiom whence the king of day sends forth at :>nue a triple light in one substance. The bright splendor is, perhaps, that while nature can present us an idea of the perpetual magnificence and re sistless power of God, it exhibits at the same time a shiuing image of the glorious integrity. Half a Victory. I will tell you how it was. Jiu k liad been tobi bc must not go and see ii certain boy called Sam, without iskiug his father's permission. Sam lived in a place where there were a great many boys, and Jack loved learly to be with him. There were many things to play with, and every thing was very pleas.mt. One day ?une of the boys said to Jack : l? Come, let's go down to Sam's. So Jack started to go along with .hem, although he was not doing rii?ht ; but after bc had gone some dis* tance his conscience troubled him so much that he could not. bear it any longer. He was disobeying his father, und he could not bc happy. Ile de termined ho would leave the boy*, run home and a-k his f.thor's permis sion, and then he could go back with a light heart. But he was ashamed bo tell this to tho boys, so be pie tended he did not want to go any far ther, and said : "O, boys, r don't cave to go down there. I nm going home." t/rrc. .Tit *\^M?iir\w\ So be started back lo iibk In father's permission. This was ?iiveii and he went off meirily, almost ov ii taking ibo boys in bis haste to ge lhere. N< w thiri was only half a victory [ ft wm? better than nothing, but it wa ? not a right, good, honest victory'. 1 i little Jack had done quite righi h j would have said at first, " Hoys, '?? i ann ,1 go with you until I have askei lather."

Its removal lefc a vacant place iu re which has not since liven lill i lt is an old saying, " that bU-?siugs brighten as they take their Hight." This was em phatieally true in reference to ur daper tor this coast. Many were taken by sur prise at its sudden removal and were anxious for hs return.

The Methodist Advocate is v. good, paper and ably conducted, but it is too distant from the Atlantic coast to meet our local wants In this section.

Its peutthar phases can- . not be met by those who live at a dis tance from us, and are not conversant willi the exigencies and demands of this ; section.
