It w is stated that the board had had some grave revelations made by Batoman wh" \v?s recently sent to Charleston.

Tho stuff, ho says, was stored in a warehouse belonging to b. Arthur O'Neill, chairman ol' tho Charleston county board of control. Mr O'Neill has an oftlcc in the front part of t he building.. In fact there was nothing but a* plank partition between tho wn rehouse where t.ho liquor was stored and Mr. O'Neill's ofiioe. The litter's dc^k was within three feet of the liquor, and Hate man says that the odor of the boozo couhl have penetrated that partition, luec.cd, people passing on the street, could see at least two eases of liquor in the store room, exposed public enzo. (It wns published at, the time that Mr O'Neill was out of the city nuil had been for several days before tho raid.) During Bateman'4! stay, he was wired by Mr. W. W. Harris, chief cle'k of the constabulary department . to raid the Charleston hotel and oth. or suspected places. Batoman says that Howie received the telegram and opened it, ar.d liateman did not got the instructions until seven hours later. He intimated yesterday that, game was not easy to bair aftei t.hat time, for before lie could ge t aroundwhe newspapers had gotten information of his instructions. Pi&gah. Doar Chronicle: ? This has been one of t ho most remarkable yearn ever experienced in the mutuary of the oldest folks. Last Full t ho hot wave that hnng like a pall so long over the Southern States did noHift in time to havo any cold, scarcely until after January, when it came, with a rush, and rrlade the land so cbld that the crops had io he re planted two and three times before a stand could be had. May and June were the wetest months on re eorJ. Seven freshets havo bee* in( tho Wa'eree since March, more ?jani for same period before. More oropt lost by the rains overs the State than ever was known: washed away, drowned on the Hat lands and get ting in the grass when they could not bo cleaned. The peaches now show the efforts of' tho cold ? small! and ^rorm}\ Docs history ever show tho hko in so short a time'? If so, we would liko to know it. Tho o.ost serious result of it all is the lo** to the farmers as well. as to the merchants, of tho crops in a measure Thousands over the State will not tfb able to pay anything at all. It is worse on the flit lands, whore the croj s woro water sobbed than whero tho water could run of. Around Pisgah tho crops are better than in most places I havo seen and yet ihey are not what they have been.4 We have nothing to complain of. This experience with tho rain should be a lesson to us all, and if ?o profit by it, as we should, it will in the lon^r run be a blessing in disguise. t>Ji83 Francis Dix>n, an aged lady died last week, and was buried at Pisgah church, tho services were conducted by Rev.

This is a good enter prise. I heard Rev. \V. A. (Jrepg, the Presbyterian pastor, pi each on Sun day. The venerable man of (lod has been there for more than thirty years.

Oh, yes; another Darlington cit izen is cleric in the dispensary. Mr. Frank f\ McLean, a clover Scotch man, ami he fills the position ad mirably. Mr. Lucius Baker is the ellicient dispenser. He keeps a set of fine books. Tho dispensar}' sales for last year were *29,000. Some peculiarities of Bishopville people may be named as follows: Hon. D. E.
