During his encumbency Judge Buchanan has won the respect of the bar and court officials by his uniform courtesy, his fairness and impartiality and he retires to the shades of private life carrying with him the well wishes of those who know him for his future success in all bis undertakings. Congressman Lever is certainly allowing no grass to grow under his feet when it come3 to work for the interest of his immediate constituents. In all interests he has been extraordinarily watchful and active for his district. No obstacle in his way has been able to turn him from his ? ? ~L/n Alorrcl Kflfif in piiryusc iu uu uio suring some of the patronage of the government for his people. We are glad to notice, toe, that his efforts are not confined alone to hie own eounfcy.

We were pleasantly surprised at the neat appearance of the new union station in Columbia, during a recent trip. It surpasses anything that we imagined it would be. The /w\mrm(l?tinns for the comfort and convenience of the travelers are first class and are all that could be reasonably demanded or expected by the public. Mr. Jphn F. Sutphen, the gate keeper who is so well and favorably known to the traveling public, retains his position at the new station and takes pleasure in giving the patrons of the several road3 all the information needful. His stock of patience is never exhausted, no matter howsevere the demand upon it. All the other officials are as polite and as accommodating as any set of officials as can be found any where. Court. The February term of the Court of General Sessions was convened promptly at 10 o'clock on Monday morning. Judge O. W. Buchanan presiding. The session was remarkably short considering the work on hand. One plea of guilty and four verdicts, all guilty, was the result. Levi Gates, colored, was the first defendant called and he answered to the charge of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. Upon his plea of guilty a seutence of $25 was imposed and promptly paid. Isaac Robinson, under the charge of housebreaking and larceny, and represented by Senator Sharpe, was 'ound guilty and given one year on .be chain gang. The most important case was ^ (gainst Martin Patterson, who was g epresented by Messrs. Muller & ^ Sturkie. The charge was stealing ^ ibout $115 in money and checks &c., ^ from Miss Joe Langford, on a F. C. fc P. passenger train near Swansea, ^ n November. 1896. He has been at 11 arge since uDtil just before court, vas captured in Columbia. Tbe ;aee was strongly contested, but the ^ rerdict was guilty and he was given j 3ve years in tbe penitentiary. George Roan, colored, was con- r dieted of housebreaking and larceny, j. ind given one year on the chain gang. The last case was against S. H. a lllsbrook of New Brookland, for vioation of the dispenearv law. Mr. a J"as. Evans of Columbia, appeared for j ihe defendant. A verdict of guilty j do tbe first count was rendered, and j a tie was given fino of 8100. 1 a The grand ]ury returned true bills a is follows: George CusbmaD, Bob v Duflie and W. J.
