the stock of Messrs. McCall &
Co., of Florence.

band should be encouraged by
our citizens in their efforts to
improve themselves in the line
in which they have shown de
cided talent.
A panorama, showing views

A Good Easiness Upeniug
Owing to a heavy domestic j
affliction, which induces him to
retire from business, Mr. Geo.
Webb offers for sale his restau
rant business in Darlington.
The opening is a fine one for
some good man, as there is mon
ey to be made at it, and the pres
ent proprietor* is abandoning it
solely for the reason given
above.
Aecidftutally Burned-
Jane Howard, an eight year
old colored girl, who lived near
Early’s Cross Roads, was found

products. Indeed they are as
good as can be purchased any
where.

A Robbery in Tinimonsville
On the night of Wednesday,
December 9th, the barroom of
Mr. W. F. Morris at Timmons-
ville was robbed of $475 in mon
ey and a gold watch valued at
$100. Circumstances seemed to
point to B. T. Copeland, J. A.
Bland and Powers Wilson, three
white men who live in Spring-
ville near Dhrlington, as the per
petrators of the crime and war
rants were issued for their ar
rest. Bland and Wilson were
captured by Sheriff Cole,' who,
on Saturday, delivered them to
Sheriff Johnson, of Florence
County. They arc now lodged
in theFloreace jail. Copeland
fled and has not yet - been
captured.

A Cowardly Murder.
On last Saturday night, about
7 o’clock, Alex Easterlin, col
ored, who lived on Sheriff Cole’s
plantation near Ebenezer, was
most foully murdered at his
home in the presence of his wife
and children. While all were
gathered together in the family
circle some unknown party j with
barefeet, sneaked up to the
house and shot through the door.
The weapon used was a shot
gun and the whole load lodged
in Easterlin’s forehead, killing
him instantly. Easterlin was a
a quiet, inoffensive negro and
enjoyed the good will of the re
spectable people of the vicinity.
Cbronor S. T. Burch, of Florence
County, held an inquest and a
verdict was rendered that he
cam© to his death at the hands
of unknown parties. At this
writing^no arrests have been
made.
Death ot Mr. Edward J- McKee.
Young Eddie McKee, son of
Mr. Geo. H. McKee, died at the
residence of his grand-parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Webb, on
Tuesday morning last, at about
two o’clock. He had been sick
onlv a week, having been at
tacked recently with a Brain
affection, and during that time
he has scarcely been conscious
for a moment. Eddie was one
of the most promising pupils of
the Graded Schools, and was an
unusually fine boy in every re
spect, being beloved by all who
knew him. His untimely end
is indeed a cause for sadness,
and the sorely afflicted father
and grand-parents have the
heartfelt sympathy of the entire
community. The funeral ser
vices were held at the Episcopal
Chapel on Tuesday, afternoon at
4 o’clock, Rev. W . A. Guerry
officiating, and the remains were
interred in the Presbyterian
Church yard.
The Enterprise Grocery Sold.
During the past week an im
portant change has been made
in our business circles, namely,
the sale of the Enterprise Gro
cery to Mr. L. L, McGee, of Bel
ton, 9. C., which was consum
mated on Thursday last. Mr.
McGee, who is a brother-in-law
of Mr. C. 8. NcCullough, has for
many years been a most success
ful merchant and his advent in
our midst will be quite an acqui
sition. We welcome g^im -to
Darlington. He has n^jret ta
ken charge of the store in person
but will do so as soon as ne ar
ranges matters preparatory to
his leaving Belton, which will
probably consume several weeks.
His family will accompany him
and will occupy the residence
lough, which he has purchased
from Mr. J. W. Blackwell.
There will be some changes
made at a later period in the per-
5 mnel of the force now employed
in the grocery. #
A New Building and Loan Association.
The Southern Building and
Loan Association of Huntsville,
Alabama, has established a
branch at this place with the
following local officers : Presi
dent, A. 9. White; Vice Presi
dent, J. E. Norment; Secretary,
W. A.Parrott; Treasurer, Wad-
dy Thompson; Solicitors, Dargan
6 Thompson; Board of Direc
tors, Jas. C. Willcox, Blackwell
Bros., H. M. Willcox, W. J.
Gamer and Haynsworth & Boyd.
This is one of the strongest as
sociations of its kind in this
country, having an authorized
capital of $5,000,000. The foun
dation is real estate, the bed
rock basis of all solid Security,
which renders failure impossi
ble. Its members receive more
than twice the ordinary rate of
interest on their investments
and this is very plainly the poor
man’s opportunity. Thousands
of homes nave been obtained on
the building and loan plan and
its advantages are universally
recognized. This association
adds but another round to the
poof man’s ladder to comfort.
