W. Stribling, whidh occurred at his residence Monday morning, Febru ary 27th. He was in the 00th year of his ago. While abler pens will tell of virtues, record his good deeds and desoribe his amiable Christian oharaoter, I oannot re frain from adding my humble tribute to the memory of a good and pure man, whoso spotless life and Christian charac ter are woxthy of all imitation. His publio life as Clerk of Court for sixteen years, his sdmirablo oareer as a soldier in our oivll war, and his integrity as cashier of the Seneoa Bank for a number of years, are well known to your readers, but bis exalted qualities, the tenderness of bis heart and purity of his soul shone brightest in the more private relations of lifo, in tho sacred precincts of home, surrounded by those near and dear to him, among his friends. Tho gentleness of his demeanor and bis tender it crest in the children seemed to say, "Suffer little ohildren to ootno unto me and for bid them not, for of suoh is the king dom of heaven."

If good deeds, oharitable acts and the faithful discharge of all the duties of life entitle one to that rloh inheritance whioh is promised tho righteous in the home of eternal peace, surely the friends may exclaim: "0 death, where is thy sting?

Fitzgerald, Qa., Marou ll.-Because of the division of the social element into Northern and Southern factions, the business harmony of thia place is seri ously menaced. It is alleged that the Southern element has organizod with the intention of ostracising the Northern ele mout, or at least compelling them to move in a separate circle. The Northern element, it is claimed, ia not openly organized, but there is a tacit agreement among them, and with the exception of perhaps a half dozen indi viduals there is a disposition to stand Arm and refuse patronage or recognition . to the other sido. The unique condition I of affairs has progressed beyond the ludicrous, and is affecting rious lines j of business, one boavy property owner j having withdrawn his patronage from the local insurance Arm, the wife of j whoso managor reoently entertained the opposite set, and many purohasers are sending out of town for all necessary supplies rather that patronize firms con nected with the movement.

White Men Found Guilty of Murder. Darlington, Maroh 10.-A te Hot un precedented in South Carolina was ren dered hero to-day when ono white man was oonviotod of murder and anothor of mulder with recommendation to morey, both for killing a negro. Thc sentonoo under tho law for murder is death and for murder with recommendation to meroy is life imprisonment. Tho judge bas no discretion in either coso, and only a reversal of the Court's ruling by tho Supreme Court or the meroy of the Governor can alter the sentences. The court records of South Carolina can doubtless bo searched in vain for a caso wherein A white man has been banged for the murder of a negro. The jury was out ono hour and thirty minutes. Small was sentenced to be hanged Friday, May 5. Tho two men aro Bob Small, convktM of murder, and John Noll oonviotod with recommendation to mercy. They came to town on Monday, Fobruary Otb, each bringing a shotgun. After stay^ug in town several hours and drinking heavily they began their homeward march. All along the road they aro said to bavo boon boisterous and abusive to passorsby, shooting at travolor's horses and mules. Finally they mot Frank Scott on a load of cotton aced for his employer, W. P. DuBose, with whom ho had boen work ing 12 years, which is a testimonial to bis good oharaotor. Bob Small hailed the negro and after a few words shot bim. Tho county oasurer carno up at this timo and protested against tho act, wboreupon Noll fired upon him, hitting him in the face ?with one shot and the horse rooeived tho load in bis neok and head. The negro was a poaceablo, re liable workman. Incredible Brutality. It would have boen incredible bru tality if Chas. F. Lomberger, of Syra ouso, N. Y., bad not done the best he could for his sufforing son. "My boy," ho says, "out a fearful gash over his eye, so I applied Buoklon's Arnioa Salvo, which quickly healed it and saved bia eye."
