He has many friends a relatives in this section who will reg to hear of his death. Frank Halloway, a negro, who liv until recently on the farm of Mr. Ht bin Burriss, in Centerville Towusli set fire last Sunday night to the cal in which he had lived, and it was tot; ly destroyed. Monday morning Dept! Sheriff Jim. Dillingham went ona hu for thc negro. He secured bloo hounds from Mr. A. T. Newell's far quickly struck the trail, and in a slit time had his man and brought him the city. He has since confessed. 1) pravity appears to have been the on incentive to thc deed. Attention is directed to the adve tisement of the Board of Directors The Farmer's Loan and Trust C< calling a special meeting of their Stoc holders on January 20, 1899, at tl President's office of the Farmers' ai Merchants' Bank, tocousider the que tion of increasing the capital from to 100 thousand dol'ars.

In speaking of the Second *South Carolina Volunteer Infant ly, the Sa vannah, Ga., correspondent of the New? and Courier, under date of the 4th inst., says: "Lieut. Edwin R. Cox, of Company A, has been appointed Provost Quartermaster on the staff of Col. Mcwilliams, who hasjust succeed ed Major Russell B. Harrison as Pro vost Marshal of the city. Lieut. Cox is to be congratulated, for it is certainly a compliment to his wort h as an officer. He was acting Quarmaster of Thomp son's independent battalion prior to the formation of the 2d Regiment, and is not altogether unacquainted with the duties that he will have to per form." Lieut. Cox is an Anderson County boy who enlisted from Darling ton, and Iiis friends here will be more than pleased to hear of his promotion.

Ann Clamp, age iii, wife of Mr. .liiu Clam]?, residing in Abbeville Coillltv, across the line fro Ul Monea Path Township, suicided last friday morning hy hanging herself with a plow liiii* in a cotton house, lier body was discovered about ld o'clock but was left hanging until :i o'clock. when the inquest was held. Thc only.rea son assigned for the rash, sad deed is slight family discord that morning, bul that was slight fa nd it must have been i case of temporary insanity resulting front some oilier cause. Tito family had ??one oui io pick cotton and the lady was lefl alone. She was a daugh ter of Mr. Robert Branyon. deceased. The husband and six children survive. Thc remains vere interred al Keowee The Pos! Onice in this city was f ur oil over to Mr. .John Ii. Cochran. .1 last Thursday morning by Col. M. Tribble, tho outgoing Post?n astor. Tli change is the jesuit ol' the rece?? a pointmcnt ol' .Mi'. Cochran by the li publican administration and was 1 surprise because of the change in tl : national government, except that came fully a year before the friem j and indorsers of Col. Tribble expech I it. Mr. Cochran has the confidence of tl ! people, is worthy and competent, ai will doubtless make an efficient Pos master; but. his appointment, cornil at this time-one year before the e: pira lion of tin; commission given Cc I Tribble by a Democratic administr; tion, and in the absence of any char* j upon which to ground a removal, not relished by Col. Ti ibbie's friend as it smacks too much of the Reoubl can maxim that, "to the victors b'elbii the spoils." The Republicans were m blind to this partisan injustice and i casting about for a sufficient excm brought forward the service rendere by Mr W. F. Hair, deceased, and pr< ceeded to slice from Col. Tribble commission the time served by th ?lead Democratic Postmaster. Thieves entered the store of C. 1 Jones & Co. Sunday morning, an were leisurely making selections to sui their tastes, when they werediscovere by Mr. Roark, about.S o'clock, who wa on the sidewalk in front of the sion His attention was attracted by som one pulling down thc shades of th front, door, and he noticed that, th hand was black. He moved up to th door to get a better view, and th negro, seeing that he was discovered retreated hastily, going up the steps t the second story. A policeman wa called, but, upon entering the store found the thieves had escaped. It wa discovered that they made their cscap through a window situated just abov the roof of the old Postoffice and reach ed the ground from the Postoftici building by a ladder, which they inn placed there. Tracks and signs wen everywhere evident, and one suit o clothes was found hidden in a litth nearby outbuilding, bur, the thieve were gone. A runner was sent to tin farm of W. Q. Hammond for blood hounds, and while most of the citizen; were in attendance on divine services a lively chase was started at the Square swept through the streets south am west, through the brick yard and ni, thc Savannah Valley Railroad, ant after circling round and round back t( the city again, but no thief. Shortly after the chase, circumstances point?e to the guilt of George Rice, a negn employed at thc sf ables of J.J. Dob bius. He. was arrested and confessed and implicated John C. Newell, an other negro, who was shortly after wards arrested at the Blue Ridge yard C. P. Jones & Co. cannot tell what wai stolen, and it thought the suit ol clothes recovered was the extent ol loss, unless similar raids have been made before. Thc police deserve con siderable credit for securing these burglars with such promptness and dispatch. They had no tacts to go upon. Mr. Roark could not identify the negro he saw, and with only a few suspicious circumstances to work upon, in less than six hours both negroes were behind the bars and one had con fessed.
