Dufft, au excellent man with large experience. A colored man was shot and killed at Timmonsvillo by a chum who had been drinking with him, on Saturday last. The Legislature meets on the Stn of January and the Columbia Record thinks the session depends upon how long tho money holds out.

Thc Inst night of the nineteenth century will also usher in the dawn of thc new century. Plie occasion promises to be a notable one throughout thc world except per haps in Germany, where Emperor William decreed that thc 20th cen tury began on January 1st of this year. But bc was wrong, and watch night sor vices for December 31st will bc held in this country at least to commemorate tho passing of the old and tho dawn of a new century, au event which in all probability no person on the globe to-day will over witness again; unless tho pace at which humanity bas been going in recent years bc slackened.
