Dwelt inn Burned.
The dwelling house of Mr. J.
N. Estridge, of White 111 nil',* together
with nearly all of his
household furniture and family
wearing apparel, was destroyed
by tire last Friday morning awhile
before day. 11 is loss is between
$1200 and $1500 "with not a dollar
of insurance," as Mr. Estridge
forcibly expressed it in a letter,
which is as follows :
''About 3 o'clock Friday morn- ,
ing I woke up and discovered
that my house was on fire, and J
before I could get the family up
and anything out, the flames
were so hot we could not get near
the house. The wind was blowing
a gale at the time, and the house
burned so quick that wo saved
very little. The loss was almost ; j
total, with no' a dollar of insurance.
The origin of the lire is sup- "
posed to be lightning, as there j
was a very heavy cloud coming, *
^ up at the time, and the rain is all
* tTf?,t saved my out buildings. ,
My doss was between $ 1 *200
^ and $1503). I am very certain it ; J
was set by lightning, as I have; (
not an eneinv in the countv that
I know of." | (
Stricken With I'araf i/sia. , <
r\ Mr. N. G. B. Ohiilee, our towns- 1
man who was stricken with pa-i1
' ralysis in Charleston last Friday, i*
is said to he in a critical condi-M
* ? tion. Mrs- C'halee was summon-j
\ ed and went to his bedside at 1 1
' bnce. Saturday's State gave this j1
.n account, of the matter:
"Mr. Chafee was so 1 at ;1
his des k in the marshal's .. part- '
ment when he was stricken. He '
was alone, and nothing was ,
known of his misfortune until a
short while later, when one oi
tlie clerks in passing noticed on
his desk a scrap of paper, on J
which was wiitten the word "pa- '
ralysis," and the exact time <?l the 1
stroke.
Dr. Kinloeh was summoned 1
and rendered Mr. Chafee all as- j'
sistance possible.
The stroke has effected the en-1
4.: i ~ i'A -: i 1
Lire ten wine.
It, is a mild one, and there is a
- ? probability that he will recover.'The
stroke did not. effect his vo-j
cal organs to any extent." L

A telegram to Col. Springs this ,
(Thursday) morning was to the
efTect that .Mr. Chafee is growing ,
worse.

On Tuesday evening of last
, week about sunset, Mr. Heauregard
Cunningham's dwelling was
discovered to be on Mr.
Cunningham himself was in town
! that afternoon and was at Cane
j creek bridge on his way home
; when lie saw a frightful smoke
coining from his house. Mrs
Cunningham however had alieady
discovered the lire and given the
{alarm and the neighbors and the
hands about the farm promptly
reached the scene of the lire and
set to work in good earnest to
j save the contents of the building,
j seeing it was impossible to save
the building itself. While they
saved a good portion of the fur!
nit tire, there were a great many
j things that were burned. From
i the cook room and the dining
room they saved nothing, and
much of the wearing apparel ot
the entire family was burned.
The tire spread to the smoke
, house and well house and tie
stroyed both of lliem. Most of
' the contents of the smoke house
were saved.
The lire originated in this way :
Mrs. Cunningham sent the children
into her room to start a lire
while she was in tlid cook room
preparing Clipper. A short while
afterwards one of the little girls
'started into the room and discovered
the room on fire. The
presumption is that the little hoy
had gone into the closet amongst
! the clothes with a light and that
the clothes caught lire. The lire
evidently started on the side
1 where t his closet was.
While Mr. ('nnningham's loss
is heavy it is not total. Uo had
$.?>r>0 insurance on the building,
and $1.10 on the furniture lie
lost probably $."00 above the insurance.

Constable J, N. Clanton was
shot in the thigh one day last ;
week by a negro whom he was
trying to capture. The Darlington
correspondent to the News
and Courier gives this account of
the matter;
Chief Dargan and his assistants
have just completed another fine
piece of work. Several robberies
and some burglaries have recently
occurred here, and this morning
four men and two women were
lodged in jail with indisputable
evidence against them. All are
colored, and quite a lively scene
transpired at the depot to-day
when one of the men was captured.
He was waring some stolen
clothes and tied when he was approached.
Constable Clanton

(hi rsueu mm, inougn me negro j
had a long start. As ho lied he I
fired seven shots at Mr. Clanton
and the constable returned the
fire. No one was hit at first, but
the negro got in a ditch and lired
his last shot indicting a painful
but not dangerous wound in Mr.
(Mantoifs thigh. Another shot]
from Clanton stuck the negro on I
the right side of the frontal bone i
and glanced oil*, which saved hisj
I life.
The negro was captured with
i the others and all are in jail. The I
robberies were committed in
; Florence and Darlington, principally
on the trains. Among the
articles recovered is a valise

Mr. H. I). Jenkins, of Lithonia, Ga.,
says that his daughter, Ida, inherited a
severe ease of Eczema, which the usual
mercury and potash remedies failed to
relieve. Year 1>y year she was treated
with various medicine), external applications
and internal remedies, without
result. Ilcr sufferings were intense,
and her condition grew steadily worse. y .
All the so-called Mood remedies did not v
seem tc reach tliedis.
\frH\ ease at all until S.
MS.S. was given, wncn
nu improvement
was at once noticed.
The medicine was
continuecd with favorablc
results, and
now she is cured

skin is perfectly
clear and pure and

* from what threatened
to blight her life forever.
