At a regular meeting of Pee Dee Division, No. 265, Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers held, August 28, 1898, the fol- owing resolutions were adopt ed: Whereas, it is with profound sorrow that we are called upon to record the death of our brother, W. P. Johnston, who was fatally scalded by the derailment of his engine on the W. C. & A. R. R , near Columbia, July 26, and died in the Columbia hospital on Aug. 5, at 2.30 a. m. Therefore, Be it Resolved, That by the untimely death of our brother out organization has lost a true and faithful member, and the A. C. L., a faithful and trusted engineer—who by his noble quali ties during a residence of many years m our midst endeared himself to us all. It gives us great satisfaction to record that our brother left no enemies and was known over the entire system as a friend to all. Therefore, Be it further Resolv ed, That while we humbly submit to the will of Him who doeth all things well, we none the less mourn our brother’s untimely death, stricken down as he was, while at his post of duty after years of faithful service at the throttle and lever, and that we deeply sympathize with his bereav ed family and relatives, and pray that God in his infinite mercy will enable them to bear up under their loss and will help them to say “Thy will, O God, be done.” Resolved, That as a token of respect and esteem to our departed brother that our charter be draped iu mourning for a period of 30 days and these resolutions be spread on the minutes of the Division and capy be transmitted to the widow of our deceased brother and pub lished in our city papers.

It is reported among newspa pers that base ball is losing its popularity, the cause the increase of rowdyism among players and spectators. This is the cause in the large cities. It is to be hoped that the South will redeem it from the bad reputation it seems to be gaining. The Maryland Democrats have harmonized on the following money plank in their platform: “The De- mociacy of the first congressional district believe now, as they al ways have believed, in the gold and silver money of the constitu- stitution and the coinage of both metals without discrimination against either, into standard dol lars of final payment and redemp tion.” It is to be hoped that a band of music will lead the procession on Labor Day.

Ir.

The ga also has hand railings aud whole presents a very respect- appearance. This improve- t has been needed tor some and is certainly appreciated the citizens who live in that nity. work cu all lines affected, but are making poor progress, as the rain continues. Many trains from At lanta and the north and west at Tennille, Ga., unable to move. A night train on the Central of Georgia Railroad ploughed through three feet of mud to reach that point last night, and the passen gers are heie as guests of the city. Eight inches of rain fell at Ten nille in twelve hours, aud the wind reached a velocity of sixty miles an hour. Bridges were wrecked and houses and trees blown down, but ao far as known no lives were lost. The damage to bridges and roada in Washing ton oou&ty alone ia $15,000. Atlanta received a touch of the storm to-day. The wiud reached the velocity of thirtv-five miles aud the rainfall was very heavy. Jim Crow Cara. The separate coach law has gone into effect in this State almost without beiug noticed. The rail- mads had their coaches separated in many instances, ao that the travelling public could get accua- tomed to the new order of things. The first class coach in moat in- stancea is separated by a division, which is permissible under the terms of the law, aa a separation of the races seemed to faavw bewtr the main object of those who fav ored the Act. It ia not known how the law will be received, and it will take acme little time before the travelling public will be made to enforce the law.
