News comes from Florence that p man, hilling the description of the Pinkerton detective, whose - hands are stained with the blood of Maude Allen, recently murdered in Columbia, worked in that town.

Broad river is so dry that even dams have to be built to husband up the little water that is comiDg through the narrow cfcaane). Eves the wafer works engines, according to the Evening Record, an advocate of Broad river mud soup, have difficulty in securing power, and the use of 4*oity" water has to be curtailed. Experience is a dear school, but in the end it is best if we profit by the lessons it teaches. Even the sprinkling of the streets daring these dry and dusty times is dispensed with in order that the meagre water supply can be held in reserve io case of fire. Delmar Locals. * Dry end dusty.
