He managed to save very little trom the burned buildiog. Mr. Rhodes had the mis fortune to lose his light arm by at accident while a youth, bis recent loss, therefore, falls very heavily upon him. ▲ FEW days age, Mr. Ira N.

There is some evidence of eyeballs but hair covers the pla ces where the eyes should be Mr. Clements will have a surgical opera tion performed oo one of them with the hope that the defect may be romedied. The freight train which by pub lished schedule should pass here, going down about 2 30 P. M.. has not done so for several day s lately until aomeiime after night. The reason assigned is; that indead of •topping at Cheraw as heretofore, it was obliged to go to Wadesb*»ro’. The freight cars on the 0. A 8. Road are osnally palled by the passenger train. Rev.

He was brought into town aud Dr. J. G. Willcox dressed the wound. We call attention to the ad., of Mr. G. H. Minis, of Lamar, fonnd iu another column Mr. Mims is an energetic business man. In him there aie nu ted too of the most important elements of sneo g*, namely, justice iu his dealiug and ecom-my. When men start their business life with these, th<-n sue cess is assured. Mr. R B. Strozer, who until re centlv has been in the employ • f Mr. Mason, has rented w portion of Mr J. K. Mclver's furniture store, where, in the future, he will con duct tbe business of repairing wate,h- es. clocks and jewelery on bis own account. Mr Stroz r is a skilled workman aud he will doubtless do well. The congregation of the Epis copal Church, received this week b.v express a handsome Bible and prayer book for chancel use. Tuis valuable and thoughtful gitt is from Mrs. Jno. K rsbaw, of Sumter. Such acts of Christian courtesy show that there is a bond of fellowship be tween all who name the name of Jesns. The ft eight train on Tuesday brought 31 cats to (his point. Two engines were necessary to move it, 13 cars were left here. On its re turn 9 cars were taken to Florence from this station. Station-master Onslow aud his efficient assistants know exactly what to do with freight. For prompt ess and effici ency they stand well with the busi ness men ot Darlington. Attention is called to the Town Ordinances for 1888. There have l>eeu a few added to those already in force. Those iu regard to saui- tary regulations are worthy of •pedal notice. With the present outlook in business circles, Darling ton is on tbe high road to a pros perous future. Nothing so con tributes to that end as the health of its people. Every citizen should assist iu securing this. There was quite an excitment on Pearle Stree on Tuesday. A wagon heavily loaded with furni ture, on ‘he top of which a large trunk was placed, was being driven up from tbe depot. The trunk fell on tbe horses, starliug them off at a run. The two men were thrown nut aud lor a few minutes matters looked awkward. Tbe horses dash ed up against a lamp post and but for tbe prompt assistance of police mail Dargan the men iu charge would have had difficulty in pre venting serious consequences. Oth ers who might have been of use took refuge iu the neighboring stores.

(From Our Regular Correspondent.) Washington, Jan. 20, ’88 Mr. Justice Lamar, two days af ter his confirmation, appeared in a handsome new judicial robe, aud was inducted into office with the simple but impressive ceremonieH incident to the occasion. By many’ it was supposed that the Ex-Secre tary had furnished himself with the new robe in anticipation of ids sue ce*s with the Republican Senate, but such was not the ease. The garment, at he suggestion of its owner, Justice Field, the only oth er Democrat ou the Supreme Bench, was borrow* d specially for this p ceremony. Nothing con'd better show the narrow, short sighted policy, aud the sectional character and tenden cies of the Republican party than its crusade agaiust Mr. Lamar. He is one of ihe meat conservative and patriotic of our national statesmen, his vision being so broad aud I'b era 1 , that with perfect consistency he appeared as the eulogist of Charles Sumner, the apostle of John C. Calhoun, aud the defender of Jefferson Davis iu the United Stales Senate Well may Mr. La mar consider his translation to tbe Court of Last Appeal as the crown ing honor of h s brilliant career. Secretary Vilas aud Postma-ter General Dickinson have settled down to work amid their new du ties as if they were fully familiar with their responsibilities and sur roundings.

A number ot changes are expected SOoU in I oth Depat tmeuts i and several Republicans in high places are believed to be iu au un enviable state of mind as to the probability of their official decapi tation. It is thought Mr. Dickin son will swing the guillotine in a manner that will delight the hearts of the old Jacksonian Democrats. Mr. Vilas is regarded as rather cautious and conservative, as judg ed by his record iu the Posioffice Department. Speaker CurlMe was stricken suddenly aud seriously ill early iu the week, and the friends of the distinguished Kentuckian were very much concerned about his condi tion, though the latest news from his bedside is assuring. Still, the attack is so serious, that, by the advice of his plusician, Mr. Car lisle has cancelled bis engagements to speak iu At'auta and Macon next week. The genial and witty “Sunset” Cox w ,s unanimously chosen Speaker pro tem to preside during Mr. Carlisle’s absence.
