A Woed in Season.?The Fee Dee Index ' quotes m follows from tho Cheraw Reporter: We wei-e pleased last week to see Captain James O. Ladd, our former postmaster, in 1 town. Captain Ladd baa been keeping books for a Chicago firm for the laat year or ao. If Cberaw is to bare a change of post- master during the coming administration, we feel confident tl\at the people of Cberaw wenld prefer Captain Ladd to any one else. Thsreoa the Index snyt: Wp notice tjiat not a word, save an aL 1 lusion to the possibility of ^'change,' in the nMaranse ef the Reporter refers- to the effi- < i???wadsut' gtutloman and good Democrat now holding the office. Without onee consider- * ing the possibility and perhaps the probability of (be retention of efficient and non-partiaan office holders In the South by llarriton, the editor begins to sing the praises of Captain J. O. Ladd,' who' for thirteen years held office under the Republicans. Many think it highly probable that Harrison will attempt to break the eolid Democratic South by retaining the efficient Democrats in office, thus making these offices a prize to be sought, irrespective of party. If this is to be his pslicy, it is undoubtedly bad policy for us to suggest or inauguralo the removal of our own men. In the case in question it doss not appear that Ladd has even so much as asked for the plnce. fie wants a larger and sweeter plum than that, as shown by the filing of his nomination for United States Marshal for this State. It may be well to warn our Democratic frieucls against signing any pennons lor ivepuuncaus to succeed Democrats. There are jot no vacancies, and there may be nunc, unlaas our people givo excuso for them by petitions praying for tho appointment of itepnblicans ia place of Democrats already in office. Our advice la to go alow until we know what ia to be the policy of the coming adminiatraor whether might is to rule right. Whilst The 11eyieter d oes not think it worth while for any Democrat to encourage the hope of retaining office under Harrison, wo yet heartily agree with the Index that it wears on its face an unseemly assiduity for Democrats to be bringing their advice to Ilia now administration as to the filling of the places now held by good Democratic officials. ?

' The snow was a most welcome visitor t 1 the pupils of Clifford Seminary. l'hej could not claim kinship with it, but the; were allowed, nevertheless, to receivo i with open arms. Te those young Ladiei from the lower section of the State such I enow was a great novelty; but they; wit! the others, were not slow in finding out the pleasures of snow balling, and for an hoot or two the fleecy missiles wero Hying througl , the air. sometimes hitting, but eftcnor missing widely, the mark. All seemed to enjoy the iport, excepting one stalely figure that became very con spieuous. .She stood quiet in the midst ol all (lie excitement; no challenge from largi or small was accepted, and no shout ef joj could induce her te Inkc a hand in the fun She remained in quiet dignity, her slian folded closely erottnd her, and her hal tirraly fixed en Iter head. The irreverent smell hoy on (he outside of the fence threw mow halls at her, but she did not reply by word or hall. Stmt thought she was very indiscreet to be out in the snow in a white dress. K'derly gentlemen, who have long since passed the age of auch fnn as throwing snow, were glad ta see one dignified young lady in the crowd and lifted their hats in appreciation of rara excellency. Voting men returning home from town smiled aud bowed at her?the lViucipal wan in the house, and as she did not turn her head she certainly did not disapprove of it. Hut evidently she enjoyed the snow, for she was the lost one seen on 1 the campus, and the first one out next inornj ing?in the same place, and with the same ' quiet dignity?and there slicia at the pres| cnt writing, growing beautifully leas, but still there, for the ."now woman has not yet j melted.
