Imply aad, and by it one of the great
lights of this century has gone out.
To him belongs (be honor of having
unified all the petty Gemma Stutes
thereby forming one of the grnudest
nations which the world has ever
seen. He was the idol of the Ger
man people,land right well did tie
merit their homage. One of the
greatest rulers and most dia'iug-
oisbed soldiers of the age, hin pri-
vatejife was marked by that cor
rectness of deportment which ia the
characteristic of the Christian gen
tleman, and by a simpliei y in bia
mode of living which amounted al*
■oat to austerity. The regret which
he expressed iu his last illness that
he should be the cause of so much
trouble to the loved ones who were
attending him, was truly pathetic,
sod showed the real n (tore of the
treble, kind, and gonlle soul which
was fast drifting townrde eternity.

the whole civilized world, raise ita

A SATISFACTORY SESSION
Judge Hudson is a hard worker,
a learned and ready lawyer, and a
most capable presiding officer. Un
der his management, assisted by
our aacomplished Solicitor, not very
many moments were lost during
themant sitting of the Court, and
tha heavy business of an important
term was dispatched with a prompt
nana and thoroughness which is
rarely witnessed.
Una fact which caused considertv-
Me •onimenT was the large number
of eouvictions secured fey the So
licitor at this term. He always
does welt, but, on this occasion his
aaoeeas was- remarkable, the cause
whereof is not far to seek. The
(arora who served last week were,
aa a body, far superior in point of
Jndgment, intelligence and general
merit to theeenirer ; usually sum-
monad in other parts of the State.
To the capability of this body is
doe m no small) degree the success
whiea attended the efforts of the
Stake to admiuister justice and to
me<e- out proper punishment to
taauagresaorH of the law.
Another fact to which attention
should be called is the compara
tively tr fling nature of tke ofiences
charged against those who were
brought to trie'. Of the fifteen con
viotiona secured only one of ti e
defendants was while, while of
the eight rent over on Monday as
ooovicta to the penitentiary, the
longest sentence to be served was
bat nine months. No case of mur
der came up duri g the whole term,
aod, in fact, only eue defendant
was tried fbr a high crime, in which
Instance the testimony was not suf
fleient to secure a conviction. Near*
ly all of the oases were trivial m>it
tors of larceny committed by color
ed people, or insignifleent assault
aod battery cases, the- outgrowth
ofdissentions among them. These
flacta are all the more remarkable
wbeo wexonaider that this was one
oithe most important terms of the
Coart of General Sessiona, the flrst
wbieJbbas been held bereaiuoe last
ffeli,aod<oae si which, iu most of the
counties of the State, the cases are
both numerous aod serious. All of
these fkets serve to increase the

Florence Facts and Fancies.
(Cerrespoadeao* wf The Charleston Sun.)
Some time ago some of the offi
cials of the Palmetto Brewing Com
pany were in our town looking for
a site upon which to erect a branch
of theii extensive Gharleston works.
After looking over our town and
seeing that a better place could
nor be fouud iu tbc interior of ibe
State from which todistiibate their
gawds, they purchased a piece of
laud ou Railroad avenue, and are
now •.•clinga large ice bouse and
bottling esiabbshuieut. Tin ice
bouea, with i t s enormously
thick walls, is nearly complete, aad
the other buildings will soon be
tiuished. They will cany , on a
regular bottling basiuess here, and
besides manufacture soda water
and other summer beverages.
We have had a visit from one of
the agents ot the Pullman Gar
Company, who, after riding over
the town and examiuhig tiki loca
tion of our town iu connection with
the railroads, expressed himself a»
being satihtled that this would
make a good p'aee to locate a
Southern branch of tbess great
works. As the necessity of South
ern branches at cm to be evident,
and as Ibis p tint is veiy central,
we are in hopes that b«>'ite long
we may have one of them here.
There is little doubt that the day
ia not far distant when we wiil
have ru-tay manufacturing interests
here. A more central apot from
which to operate could not l*e found
in the State, and if once some of
these great industries start here
others will follow in rapid succes
sion.
The budding boom- still goes on
h-re. There b is not been a day
for the past year when there li ire
not been from ten lo flfeen dwell
ings or stores in course of erection
iu this town, it is the hardest
kind of work to find a carpenter to
do you a day’s work, as all are oc
cupied on cot trac's. A Mr. Rob
bin'', of i'etrrsfield, Georgetown
Comity, moved here 'a-a week to
engage in (be mercantile business
and to get the benefit of the flue
schools of this town. The outside
world is certainly appreciating the
fact that Florence is a good place
to come to.
Farming is being pnshed through
out the country, anil large quanti
ties ot ft-rtiliarrs ate being hauled
out of of the depot. The farmers
are well up with their w irk, and
the flue ciops made last year, con
pled with the go< d price obKiiued
tor cotton, has given cont-ukrable
impe-us to faimmg interests.
The stockholders ot the Florence
Building and L mu Association
wet ou the 1st iust. and appointed
a board of trustees to wind up tbe
affairs of tbe association, whose
charter expires ou 29th inat. This
institat'on hat done much good in
this town iu helping in,my to own
homes that would o.lierwiae have
been forced to pay rente. Tbe few
remaining stockholders will get a
fine interest ou tbeir nvestment.
After this association is wound up
we will stt 1 have two more, the Pee
Dee BuiMlng and Loan As.«ociation
and the Mechanics. Tbe fermer will
expire by limitation on December
1 next, an-! the iat'.er, with its 3U0
■hares, will run ou until its earn
ings are sufficient to pay each of
its atockuo^yw, "ho do not take

the tariff question, and unless the

forward a hill rcd'uing the revenU-
to as great an extent as ihe Mi ls
bill, it is extremely likely that many
of them will vote with the D. mo

vote for a redaction of the refer*

dare uot refuse, even if they wanted
to.
