Quite a number of our Masonic friends and their families have gone to Charleston to attend the session of t-he Grand Lodge and to enjoy the Sightseeing about the ^'City by the Sea" on this occasion of her glory. We wish each and every one a happy time. Mu.

Indeed, the little rain that has falion seems to have no appreciable offect upon the wells, streams and watercourses of our town and eoipity. Complaints about wells going dry uro increasing and where tho trouble will end wc know not. Bin. James Mack, one of our oldest and most, respected citizens on Pull Swamp, was buried on Wednesday last, and on Tuesday before his sister was conveyed to her .final resting place. These two 6ad events have thrown a large circle of relations and friends in deep mourning. We regret that our absence on business pi evented us from welcom ing James S? Ilcyward, Esq., editor and proprietor of the Kingstrce Star, to our sanctum on Saturday last. Mr. Hey ward is spending .a few days with his relatives in town. We wish him abundant success both in his profes sion and with his newspaper. We arc indebted to Messrs. Pull & Scovill for one of lite most conven ient business calendars wc have ever seen. These gentlemen represent sev eral fust-class lire insurance compa nies, and parlies wishing to insure their property can find no safer or more reliable agency than that of Messrs. Bull .x Scovill. Wi3 call the attention of our dele gation in the Legislature rto the com munications on the first page of this issue intended, wc suppose, especial ly for them. Wc think our corre spondents arc only exercising a natur al right in using the press as a mcdl- J urn of communication with their lep j resentatives in the Legislature. _ Quite a number of the members of; the Legislature have been in Charles ton during the present week, attract-j ed there, doubtless, by the interest fell in common by our cili/.ens, ill the election of last Tuesday. Wc hope after their return to duty thev will devote themselves more entirely to the completion of the work of the session. A man of "Agger" up in the moun tains, near Charlotte; N. C, has been ciphering away on the number of rainy days in each year, and furnishes Ihc interesting fact that during the six years from January 1st, 1873, ^o October 1st, 1870, the variations in Lhe numder of rainy days is only five in each year, the laigost number being C?(5 and the smallest 01. i Tin: Hampton Debating Society, composed of students of Sheridan's High School, elected' the following officers last Friday afternoon to serve for the ensuing year: E.

The or gans are making arrangements for seventy millions negroes to be murd ered by the Southern people and four hundred million more driven how ling into the wilderness. When wc 6ay the organs are making arrange ments, wc mean that they arc prepar ing to buy a new bottle of ink ami a iounlain pen. j A writer in tko Laurcnsville Her [aid says that llio majority of the pco plo don't want Gary for Governor of tl)0 State, und that if ho is tbc long headed mid far seeing statesman that his friends picture liim to be he ought to know jt. Wo tthiuk.(iPeter Clum" is right. At a social gathering .in Ireland the conversation turned, by some ac cident, upon marriage. One of the girls, addressing a handsome young man, quite unconsciously, ns 6he ex-i plained, said : "If I were you and you were me I would have married long ago." We thought it best lo lo caca this talc a long ways from home. Tin: emancipation of the slaves of Cuba seems to be the policy of the Spanish government. It io lo be a gradual manumission, und the plan, it is said, W'U h? definitely at ranged next month. That plan contemplat es that the whole matter shall he car ried out in eight years, one-eighth ol the slaves to be freed every year' and the selection to be made by.lo.t. The new fashions cannot be termed extreme in any respect and yet the models present so many fresh ideas, and have such a happy knack of ap pearing strange, ,the ,beau fnonde is quite delighted with the aspect. Doth expressions arc ngrccab c, that of colorings and designings. The picture is indeed fascinating and one that will not soon weary. The Rev. q. A. Darby, the belov ed pastor of the Methodist Codgroga tion at this place, will preach his last sermon for the present year on next Sunday evening. So acceptable have been Mr. Darby's labors to our citi zens during the present year that it is the universal desire for the Con ference to return him to his present charge, and WO hope that body will lind it proper to do so.

Ox Saturday night last quite ail excitement was occasioned on Russell street by a parly of drunken turpen tine hands. While the police were in the discharge of their duties at tempting lo arrest the parlies, Mr. Mat Albrecht was very painfully and perhaps seriously stabbed in the breast by one of the negroes. Four of the party were lodged in jail and we trust will be made to suffer tbc full penalty of such outrageous con duct and disregard for the peace of the community.
