Quite a sad occurrence happen ed on Christmas day when a little two-year-old child of Mr. Sanford, one of tbe factory operatives, was buried at the Presbyterian Church yard. The total earnings of tbe Che- raw and Darlington Railroad for the month of September, 1886, were #11,232.65, a decrease of 6698.41 from tbe corresponding womb of last year. Pbiyate letters received from Summerville this week bring tbe information that shocks of eartb quake, as severe as tbe last ones we bad here, are felt there at tbe rate of two or three every day.

They will leave on Thursday, tbe former for Florida the latter for California. A LABGB and influential lodge Of the Knights of Pythias, to be known as Palmetto, No. 11, was organized at Lydia on tbe 29th inst. This makes three Lodges oi tbe Order in- Darlington County, while tbe whole number in tbe State is only seven. The Winnsborb’ News and Her old mentions among tbe disting dished persons who attended of ficially the funeral of Col. Jas. H. Rion, Mr. H. A. Hymes and Mr. D F. Houston, the Presidents of their respective classes at the South Carolina College. A FBW days ago some hands while digging a well near New St., in the Sonthern portion of tbe town, at the depth of 22 feet encountered a bard snbetance which proved to be a well preserved cypress log. This is a marvel which we would like some oi our geologists to ex plain. THE Washington correspondent cl tbe Fine* and Coutier, under date of the 21st, says: G. S. Netties, oi Darlington, is visiting here for a few days. He called upon Repre sentative Dargan at tbe Capitol Monday* and also paid his respects to tbe other members of the dele gation. About seventy-five children of the Presbyterian Sabbatb School and congregation met at tbe lecture room of the obarch on Friday after- noon to enjoy a splended sapper prepared for them by tbe teachers and friends, after tbe little folks badsturroanded the well filled table, Mr. Law, the Pastor, announced that he had a very pleasing duty to preform, and there in a very bsp 5 y manner presented to Mr. J. J. amea, the Superintendent a large arm chair, a gift from tbe School. Tbe Superintendent was taken very ■neb by surprise, bnt accepted tbe gift with the promise not to spend too much tiske in it. The children eqjfjed the occasion greatly and will not soon foiget the niee time they had. Intelligence waa received on Tuesday last of the death at bis home in Alabama of Col. William Cowan Mclver, the father of Col. E. R. Mclver and Mrs Evander Ervin. Col.

At the time of his death he was about 64 years of age. The time for collecting taxes ex pired on tbe 15th inst. Uu Mon day tbe 20th, a bill was introduced in the Legislature to extend the time until the 15th of Jan. 1887, in all the counties in the State, Dar lingtou excepted. The reason why Dailiugtou was excepted, was because Mr Traxler, onr County Treasurer went to Columbia and explained that 95 per cent of the taxes, about as much as he hoped to get, had already been collected in this County. It gives us great pleasure to an nounce that the Reading Club was reorganized on the 22ud iustant. The first meeting was held at Mrs. Spain’s and was so successful as to lead all the former members to hope that the club will soon be in suc- cesstul operation again. This will be a source of general gratification to many who in the past have de rived so much instruction and amusement from these meetings. A second meeting, which proved equally as successful as the first, was held on last Wednesday even ing at Mr. Geo. W. Dargan’s. Members of the Craft in this vicinity will be gratified to know that old St. Davids Lodge No. 72 A. F. M. was revived on the 20th inst., and the following officers were elected and installed : J. A. Boyd, W. M.; Jacob Marco, S. W ; H. W. Beck, J. W.; C. Alexander, S. D.; A. Weinberg, J D.; A. S White, Secretary; John Siskron, Treasurer; J. H Schmid and Jos. Rosenberg, Stewards; P. C.

Jackson was transferred from Dar lington to Abbeville Mr. Jackson has been among us lor the past three years, and by his genial manners and truly Christian char acter has endeared himselt to all, without reg rd to denominations. The people of Darlington are very sorry tt-at they have to part with him, and they wish him as much success in his new field as lie met with here. Mr. J. E Beard, who has been sent to take Mr. Jackson's place, is a young man, and while he is not known to our people, he comes with such a good record trom his former charges as to en sure for him a hearty welcome from the Darlington congregation. AT a meeting of Darlington Lodge, No. 7, K. of P., on Tuesday evening, December 21, the follow ing officers were elected for the eu suing term; A. Weinberg, C. C ; H. Steruberger, V. C.; Rev. G. B.

Members should bear in mind that the Section now meets quarterly, on the third Tuesdays in January, April, July and October, and an nually on tbe third Tuesday iu De cember. A new postal card has been re ceived and is now for sale at our post office. Near tbe top of the new card, and cqui-distaut from its two side edges, is a profile portrait of Thomas Jefl'erson, looking to the right, on a shaded background, en closed within several concentric circles, and resting upon an ornate pedestal engraved in outline.. Be low this pedestal, in small letters, is the legend: ‘‘Nothing but tbe address to be on tlds side.” Im mediately beneath the portrait and within two of the circles appears tbe denomination, “one cent,” and on either side, tn unshaded panels with arabesque terminations, is the title, “Postal Card,” in plain Roman letters. Above the whole, inscribed upon a curved ribbon, are tbe words “United States.” Tbe design is printed in black. The new cards are of tbe same size as those now in use, and ot tbe same color an > quality of paper. Information was received here Thursday that some ot the wagouers who frequent our town about this season of tbe year, were engaged in the illicit traffic of liquor, in var ious parts of tbe conuty. Deputy U. S. Marshal Scbouboe was tele graphed tor, bnt before he arrived one of tbe wagoners who had spent Wednesday night here evidently suspected something, for he left town rather hnriedly. Parties who passed him just across the creek in Donnerail, say that he was eviden tly anxious to get away, as he was urging his horses to their almost speed. As soon as Marshal Schou- boe arrived, he with several others started in pursuit. About three o’clock tbe next morning they came upon the wagon near Comp- bell’s store at McIntosh’s Mill in the western part of the county The owner of the wagon, S M. Kennedy, of Forsythe County, N. O., was arrested, and he and his wagon brought back to Darlington on Friday. Kennedy was taken befoie Commissioner Baker who appointed Wednesday for a preliminary hear ing, and in tbe tb. aa time commit ted the prisoner to jail. The wagon together with several kegs of whis key was confiscated. CINCINNATI BUGGIES Ami Celebrated One and Two-Horse Wagons, made in Atlanta, Ua., and Hickory, N. C-, WITH IRON AXLES.

The Society met iu the Methodist Church, and was called to order by Mrs. L. E. Wil- liamaon, the President. After the singing ot one or two appropriate hymns, and prayer by the Rev. Mr. Law, the roll was called by the Secretary, and at the request ot the President, the Rev. Mr. Moore, read the pledge of the Society and in- vited all who wished to join to stand at their seats. Several persons stood, thus indicating that they took the pledge. Mr. Law and Mr. Moore, made very interesting ad dresses, of good will and encourage- meuttotbe ladies, wboareat workin the noble cause of temperance. The President then announced that alter pra\er by Mr. Moore, every one was invited over to the School Room, where the W. 0 T. U., had prepared a “Free Christmas supper lor all.” The ladies of the commit tee certainly deserve great credit for the elegant manuer in which this “Free Supjier,” was prepared and served. The T shaped table literally groaned under the abuu dance of nice things it held. A beautiful display ot tire works en ded this most enjoyable entertain ment, and every one left, indebted to the W. 0.
