Mr. J. J. Carrington was sheriff, and in the December issue he had sorde three columns of land sales. Geo. S. Mower as assignee of Henry H. Blease was offering some valuable land for sale. There is also an editorial on Hamp ton's Inaugural and Excursion to Columbia.

Tust think of that. This reminds us to remark that we lave in our private library the bound flumes of The Herald and News and ts prede ^ssors back to the . fifties, tnd we also have a volume of the I ... .

We have] :ad an offer to sell them to the Texts library, but would much prefer o have them remain hi South carina as they contain some very vallable history that is not otherwise ecorded. If we were able we would e glad to donate them to some South larolina library. In fact, we hate to art with them at all, as during the 1 ast thirty years is the record of our wn work, but in this time of stress: ! we could get something of their j alue we would consider a proposl- t on to have them remain in South ? - , T aroljtoa.
