Colombia State
Remini, March 18.?At the home of
Paul Williams, a negro, much excitement
is being created by an unknown
cause. On the evening of February 28
about 9 o'clock Williams became alarm
ed by the continual falling of clay and
sticks into his house.
At first he thought that some of his
neighbors were .merely teasing him
and concluded that they would soon

not true. The clay and sticks continued
to come into the house through
the ehimney and from every imaginable
direction.
Williams made a close search, but
tie could not find the thrower. He
became intensely frightened and summoned
a few of his nearest neighbors,
wht assisted him in making a closer
search, but nothing could be seen.
They tried firing guns but the more
rapid the guns were fired the more
rapid came the clay and sticks.
The more intelligent class of people,
both white and colored, who do not
believe ia haunts, have been going to
this place witnessing the disturbance
and coming away agreeing with the
superstitious that the house is being
visited by haunts. This has been
going on every night since the above
date. It begins at dusk and lasts
until dawn.
Williams father died about four1
months ago at the age of 105 and the;
suspicion is that he is the thrower of
the sticks andriumps of clay, who pays j
his night visus, giving spectators an !
exciting entertainment.

DARLINGTON'S FIRST TRAIN OVEK
ITS NEW ROAD.
Line Practically Complete and Regular
Freight and Passenger Schedule
Will be Operated Within Short
While.
From The Stale.
Darlington, March 22.?The first
train to pass over the new road built
by the Seaboard Air Line from McBee,
a small town in the southwestern
portion t of Chesterfield county,
through DarHngton to Florence, arrived
here yesterday afternoon at five
minutes to 4 o'clock. The blowing of
the whistle and ringing of the bell
attracted the larger part of the business
community to the scene.
The train that came in this afternoon
was made up of only four or five
freight cars laden with .serial for
the building of the track, but it is
stated that within a very few days
freight trains will be operated and in
about two weeks a regular passenger
service will be put on. The work is
progressing very rapidly on all linos.
The track is about completed to the
centre of town and foundations and
frame work for both depots have been
well advanced.
The coming; of the Seaboard means
a new era for Darlington and fcr a
arge part cf this county and the
adjoining county of Chesterfield. Territory
that is opened by this new road
is long been suffering for want of
the proper railrcal facilities. Besides
the town of Darlington has felt
the need for some time of further
rai'road advantages. The shipping
to and from this point has increased
during the past 12 months from .13
to 50 per cent., estimated conserva

are operated day and night and have j
been for several Sundays, the work
^s too heavy to receive proper attention
at the hands of the Atlantic Coast
Line with its present facilities.
"Beware of the demagogue," said
Teddy Roosevelt in his Atlanta speech
on Thursday. Very good advice; the
trouble, though, is somtimes to dis-.
tinguish the real article. A small boy:
at school, being asked what a demagogue
is, replied that it in "some-1
thing to hold liquor." |

APPOINTEES ARE ENJOINED
Governor Bound by Recommendation
of County Legislative Delegation.
Where the law says appointments
shall be made upon the recommendation
of the county legislative delegation,
the governor is powerless to do
otherwise; he is bound to absolutely
follow such recommendations. This in
substance was the decision reached
by Judge Ernest Gary upon the Beaufo-t
township commissioners case.
Judge Gary permanently enjoyned the
Blease appointees from taking office
as commissioners for St. Helena
township.
Whether the governor will now
commission, without further ado, the
men recommended by the delegation,
Messrs. T. R. Kittles, J. E. Mason,
and William Keyserling, remains to
be seen. It is presumed that if he
declines to do so, the courts will be
asked to mandamus him to issue the
commissions. The petitioners for the
injunction were the present commissioners,
Messrs. G. W. Wilkins, Edgar
Fripp and William JCeyserling.
Arguments were heard before Judge
Gary here Saturday afternoon, but he
declined to make known at that time
his decision in the matter. His decree
was Issued Saturday nght.
