The corner stone of the new postoffiee building at Spartanburg ^jvhich I* now being erected by the Government at a cost of $60,000, will probably be laid on February 22. which is considered a most appropriate day for such an event. All of the schools in that city will be closed on tha" day and the children will participate in the exer cises. The depot at Harvin’s, a small sta tion. two miles from Acolu, was set on fire the latter part of Tuesday night, but was discovered by the agent, about 5 o’clock Wednesday morning, and put out before the Ire had gained much headway. Several sacks of flour had been stolen from the depot and it was set on fire to cover the theft, at least it is thought so. The body of Robert Keith Dargan was exhumed Friday at Darlington, in the presence of some fifty citiz ms who knew him well, and though .he body was badly decomposed, the i en tity was w’ell established, and the rumors of his having faked death are answered.

Texas, Jan. 17.—Kindly allow mo space in the columns of your paper for a few lines in regard to our trip from Gaffney to Elgin. Leaving your town on Wednesday morning at 2 o’clock we landed in Elgin Friday morning at 4 o’clock, changing cars four times—at Mont gomery, New Orleans, Houston and Hempstead, with a five-hour lay-orer at New Orleans. It occurring In the night we didn’t get to see very much. Leaving the Southern Pacific depot about daybreak for the boat landing, we started across the “father of wa ters” just as the sun was showing it self in the eastern horizon. It was indeed a grand sight to see the steam boats plowing the muddy waters of the great river and the logs and chunks as they floated onward in si lence to empty into the far off Gulf of Mexico. As I gazed out over the muddy wa ter I thought of how the Indians once navigated it in canoes and “dugouts” formed from the trunks of trees, and now it echoes to the sound of the puffing steamer. The levees are built along both sides of the river and are sometimes ten or twelve feet in WORK ON NEW DEPOT STOPPED. Work on Gaffney’s New Station Sud denly Halted. Work on the new depot for Gaffney was stopped rather suddenly on last Thursday morning. Enquiry disclosed that the sudden halt was called for by a telephone message received from Contractor Jones In Charlotee. This message simply ordered that work on the foundation of the building be stop ped until further orders, and was re ceived by Mr. C. G. Parish, of the Commercial Hotel, who at once noti fied the workmen to desist. Mr. Jones stated that he himself was not aware of the cause for the sudden hault in the work as his instructions came from Washington and simply called for the work to cease for the present, although any material arriv ing was to be unloaded. The fact that Mr. Jones was not in the city and could not be seen, prevented any thing authentic being learned about the matter, although many rumors were afloat on the streets. The rumor most widely circulated was that the plans had been changed and that the depot was to be larger than was for merly Intended. Such action on the part of those In charge would be a wise move indeed as the manner in which our city is growing make* a large depot a necessity and the larger the better, as Gaffney is very likely to grow up to a depot of almost an'' proportion.

With the poor labor we have and the uncertainty of the seasons, let’s not count on more than a half bale per acre.

The bill Is receiving its chief support from the Aiken mill section.’ where the union idea is strong, while the Piedmont section appears to be fighting it, operatives as well as owners. The House passed, by a heavy ma jority, Representative Hall’s bill pit ting gambling within the jurisdiction of magistrates and authorizing ar rests for these offences to be made without warrants on Sundays, the oh ject of this being to reach the ele ment of negroes which resort to the woods for gambling throughout the State. Mr. Morgan had hlc local option bill made a special order for next Tues day and the bill to prevent strikes and lockouts in cotton mills was made a special order for next Tuesday in the Senate, hut as the elections have been arranged for that day it is not likely that) either bill will be raised until Wednesday. The Senate committee reported un favorably on Senator Talbert’s bill to abolish the dispensary, and it went to the calendar. If the dispensary sys tem escapes death this session, the Senate Is likely to be the savior, for the House has continually shown sIptis of a burning desire to get the knife into the G. M. I.’s vitals. Senator Cole L. Blease, chief dis pensary advocate, who is spoken of for governor on the dispensary plat form, introduced a bill to abolish the Brice act and enact, In its ’tead, a law allowing the closing of dispen saries on petition to the State board of dispensary directors, the mayor of the town and the county supervisors to act with the State board in decid ing the matter, any three ..members of the enlarged board having power to grant tho petition, dispensaries to be opened in a community in the same wav. The Senate dispensary committee brought in a substitute today for the Raysor dispensary bill, which latter bill Is supposed to carry out the ideas of Commissioner Tatum and other dispensary leaders. The principal dif ference in the substitute is that the directorate Is to he elected by the Legislature Instead of being appoint ed by the Governor, and the purchases are to be made from the lowest bid ders by a committee of citizens an notated by the Governor, the sealed bids to be opened by the committee in public.
