Norment has come into the possession of a very valuable book which his uncle, Mr. John W. Harrington, found on the battle field of Gettys burg. It is a copy of Virgil’s Aenid and Bucolics, printed in 1050, in the old English style. The book is profusely illustra ted and the illustrations and print are perfectly preserved, although the book is nearly two hundred and fifty years old. The volume is quite a curiosity and is doubtless of great value. Mr. Norment has forwarded the book to a house at the North, which deals largely in old works of value, with a view to ascer- coia ' j taining its worth. «• Real Estate Transfers.

Murray, who re moved to Darlington about two (years ago and resided here something over a year, died on Wednesday of last week in Florence, where he had remov ed about six months since. He was sixty-three years of age at the time of his {death He was an architect, but ill health'from which he had been a sufferer for nearly ten years, prevented him from following actively his chosen profession. The sympathy of the community is extended to his wife, who made many friends during her brief resid- (encein Darlington. His remains were interred on Thursday hut at Stateburg, Sumter County, the place of his nativity. The Board of Pensions. The County Examining Board of Pensions met on Monday last, but as the the Board of Pension Commissioners was not present to act in conjunction with the Examining Board, as required by law, the latter had to adjourn without transacting any busi ness. The law requires that the Board of Pension Commission ers shall be elected by the sur vivors of the county at a meet ing on salesday in October or November of the previous year, but the survivors failed to have a meeting on either of the dates i mentioned, hence there is no | Board of Pension Commission ers. The members of the Exam ining Board, who hold office by virtue of their appointment by j the Gove nor. have notified the Comptroller General of the trouble and now await further instructions. Duo notice of the date of the next meeting of the Board will be given later. Try our Roasted Coffee at 30c lb ; West & Honour. A Suspicious Fire. About twelve o’clock ATonday night the Russoil house, on jCashua Street, occupied by Air. W. H. Talley, was discovered to be on fire on the inside. The flames were extinguished, how-, ever, before a general alarm, was given The fire was burn-| ing in three different rooms and a pile of paper saturated with kerosene was found under the house. Kerosene had also been poured upon some of the beams beneath the first floor. There can be hardly a doubt but that the fire was the work of an in cendiary. The flames were ex tinguished so quickly that only slight damage was done. Some clothing and window shades were destroyed. The would-be murderer chose his time well, as Mr. Talley was away and the only persons in the house were Mrs. Talley, who was sick in bed, her two little children, and the nurse. As will be seen from the notice published in an other column, the town auth >r- itiss have offered a $150 re ward for any information which will lead to the apprehension and conviction of the guilty party. Fruit Puddine, assorted fla vors ; West & Honour. A Serious Matter. The law in regard to the drawing of jurors requires the Jury Commissioner, the Audi tor, and the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners to fill the jury box during the month of January in each year. From this box is drawn, twenty days before the first court, the grand jury which serves during the year, and twenty days before each court the petit jury to serve during the coming court is also drawn from this box. This brings forward a serious ques tion in regard to the jurors of ! Darlington County. There is hut one more week in which the jury box can be filled and, as yet, no Jury Commissioner has been commissioned. The papers have published that Air. T. P. King has been appointed Jury Commissioner for Darlington County, but Mr. King has never received his commission or even notification of his appointment. Unless the Jury Commissioner is commissioned before the month of January expires no juries can be drawn and, there fore. there can be no court for Darlington during the present year. The trouble must be the result of an oversight and the attention of the proper authori ties should be called to it imme- !diately.

A Bombshell in Columbia. [From the News and Courier.) Columbia, January 15.—Yes terday Adjt. Gen. Farley handed of Gen. Bonham, that Col. Jones should recall the protest ed checks or drafts for payment, and Gen Bonham then drew and left with Col. Jones a draft on the general manager of the Union Central Life Insurance Company, which he represents here, for $2,000, which, it was spapei men to day. Col. Aldrich has assumed the control o f his side of the case, and Governor Tillman said to-day that he would now have no further connection with the matter, unless Gen. Bonham should fail to make good his protested checks. In that case he would take steps to see that the interests of the State were preserved. lie referred the paper representative to G°h Aldrich for the promised state ment of Gen Bonham and any subsequent events. Gen. Farley was also seen, and he said substantially the same things as the Governor. The News and Courier repre sentative then visited Gen Bonham’s residence and was informed that ho could not be seen. One of his family, how ever, gave the following brief and concise statement: “Gen.
