Finlayson, once the foremost merchant of Cheraw, running a raat wholesale and re tail business, wall known as the Finlny son Four Stare, after gradually reducing down his stock for the past few months sold out to the Baltimore Bargain House. The latter then after buying, closed out the same to Walfe Bros, of Camden, S. C. These gentlemen are selling out the stock of goods like hot cakes, and it is hoped that they will continue business here, as they will, no doubt, be of great benefit to our town. The old Pee Dee is angry again. The unusually heavy rains which fell Monday and Tuesday caused her to spread from nill to hill. It is higher now than it has been in 25 years, it jH supposed It Touched the enormous height of 37 feet 9 inches on th? -.rater 1 gunge, from low water mark. Young crops planted after floods j early in the spring, are now under j water, and the cropperH on the j river ure looking very gloomy. No hopes of a crop now on the low grounds. A negro named Pigues was drowned in trying to cross a smaller stream just a mile or so north of here Tuesday evening. ' It is said he started over after some stock, and was crossing by | way of an old dam; the dam was ' ; undermined, gave way with him and the mule he was riding.

Tillman, who on January 28, 1886, when he was only plain Capt.Ben Tillman,published those wnrri??so striking and so memor ahle: "I know how to get an office, but God forbid I should so debase my manhood." It is not my pur- ' pose Ht present to write an essay j on Senator Tillman's political writings or utterances, no matter ' how interesting or inviting that j extensive subject mav prove. No, it is my purpose in this brief arti- ' cle to call attention to a fact that! will interest those who have been and are now supporters of Senator j Tillman. That fact is this: Sun- j day is his birthday and he will he 54 years old. He is now a few mnnthh nlilAr ttian nmu ?* 1 iunu ??
