The girl had yawned behind her cambric handkerchief until it ac tually had a nap on it. Still he stayed on and talked.

Timmermau for gov ernor in the following laudatory terms: "Since a nominating con vention is about a foregone conclu sion, we rise to present for the con sideration of the sovereigns of the State, the name of a man who is a high toned, honorable, Christian gentleman, eminently qualified to discharge the duties of the Chief Executive.

In another part of this issue i th* Press and Banner appears oi of those dailjr assaults upon ll people and the good name of tl State of South Carolina. Th piece comes from Coluro b: through the News and Courier. "The whole head is sick, tl: whole heart is faint" with so muc grumbling and so much fault-fine tog. Even admitting that we wei badly governed, and acknowledj ing the fact that the old set are a out of office, and that the horrib] dispensary law interferes with ou whiskey guzzling, is there an sense or reason lu forever holdin up our grievances to the publi and making efforts to ruin th character and good name of Sout Carolina? Didn't w? long sine learn that it was bad policy to was our linen in public? Every Carolinian loves Sout! Carolina and is proud of her re cord in all that goes to shed lustr on the fame and glory of a peopl who are as proud and as chivalrou as any that ever lived. Theu why this eternal and ever lasting fault-finding and Bueerinj at the majority of the people? Why the never-ceasing lamen that we and our family, our set or our coterie of the Lord's an nointed, are out of office? Win this constant talk, by reading through thc lines, we may see tba the "outs" consider themselves S( much more respectable than th< "ins?" "Lord bless me and my wife, My son Jonn and his wife, Us four and no more-am?n." Is it done with any insane idee that such conduct and such disre spect for the majority of the peo ple will induce them to acknowl edge their own inability to hold office and to draw salaries, and that they will forsooth vacate and humbly ask the old set to take their old places? A Serions Blow to Wimtsboro. Columbia Jcurn-.il. WINXSBORO, Jan. 19.-A. Willi ford, A. Williford & Co., Q. D. Williford & Co., and W. H. Willi ford made assignments this morn ing to G. W. Ragsdale. The fail ure of the two latter stores was due to their having endorsed notes of A. Williford to a large amount, and being unable to meet the same on account of hurd times. The failure includes two dry goods Btores in this place, one dry goods store in Ridgeway, one grocery store and a livery and sale stable The ass' ts are estimated at $70. 000; liabilities $45,000. Tbe fail ure was unexpected entirely, and wi!i"be a great blow to the busi ness of the town. OFFICIALLY BEE WED BEER The Palmetto Brewing: Company to lie Run by the State. New.-, and Courier, The State of South Carolina now has an official brewery in which supplies of beer for the dispen saries throughout the State will be manufactured. The plant of the Palmetto Brewing Company of Charleston will hereafter be run by the State. At the meeting of the State board of control held yesterday Governor Tillman offered the fol lowing resolutions, that were pre pared by him, which were adopt ed : "Reso ved that the couuty board of control of Charleston be au thorized to establish a dispensary at or near the Palmetto brewery, and that the said dispensary, in addition to selling liquors, shall be distributing depot for all beer sold in Charleston, other than ex port beer. "Resolved second. That said dis penser may under rules adopted by the county board, and approved by the State board, use the wagons and employes of the brewing com pany in handling the beer made by said Palmetto Brewing Com pany in the city and shipping the same to all points outside the city to other dispensers, when ordered by the State commissioner." This saves the brewery company from ceasing their operations as they would have been obliged to do according to the new dispensary law. A great deal of red tape mat tor was gone through with be fore the deal was affected. Rules to govern tho running of the brew er}' will be prepared by Mr. Wi Gibbes Whaley, chairman of the Charleston county board of con trol, and the State board will act upon them. Governor Tillman says the board was forced io make such arrange ments to protect tho interest of the State. The brewery will be ruu by the company under the control of the State board. Weekly sutile meiits will bu made between the board and the corni'any. Vicki Floral Guide, 1894. lt contains descriptions that de scribe, not mislead; illustrations that instruct, not exaggerate.

PETERSBURG, Va., Jan. 16.-Last evening while Timothy Griffith, owner of the Crater farra, in Prince George county, about one mile ana a half from Petersburg, was ploughing up his land directly in front of the crater, he unearthed the bodies, or rather the skeletons, of five Union soldiers. The skele tons were all clad in the Federal uniform. One one of the soldiers was found a cartridge box filled with cartridges, and in his pockets a photograph and bottle of ink.
