The . ,, , * , A Radical Change. (Pee Dee Index.] The Florence Timex has nom inated General Hampton for Vice President of the United States after having strongly opposed him for re- election to the United States Senate. If he was not the right man for the Senate last Decem ber he is not the right man for Vice President now. If he is so eminently fitted for the Vice Presidency now he was equally fitted for the Senatorship last winter. The Timex’ opinion of General Hampton has evidently undergone a radical change.

The People Foot the Bill. [Pw* Dee Index.] Suppose the “Coosaw case" remains unsettled a year, how will the deficiency of seventy- five or one hundred ’thousand dollars in the State treasury be met? Either additional taxes will have to be levied to make good the deficiency or the State will have to borrow money and add the amount to the public debt. It has been demonstrated that the current expenses of the State cannot be appreciably re duced and there can be no saving here to offset the loss from the royalty- heretofore derived from the Coosayv Company. This is a serious condition that confronts. every r one, no matter to what faction he may belong in our State politics. No matter who wins, if the cas^ is not soon adjusted we will be out a large sum of money and when taxes, tiCU Of Ui6 are increased to make good the' . , j deficiency there is going to be a grumbling among the people.

Madison King was born near Lydia, Darlington County, March L3, 1835.. and .lied near the place of his birth, Feb 1, 1891, having spent his useful life in this community, :;ave the years he gave to his country during the late war. At the first call, for troops, he was ready, and as soon as he could arrange his business, he was off to the front. He joined Capt. F. F. Warley’s Artillery Company, w hich was organized in this count}', and amid all the haidships of camp life, and in the heal of battle, J. Madison King stood firm and never once swerved from duty and not till the banner he loved so well was forever furled did he turn his steps homeward to meet his loved ones. There is probably no man in this community, who had a wider circle of friends and acquaintances than Mr. King. His devotion to duty and the integrity of his charac ter commended him to all men. and the announcement of his death will doubtless carry sor row to the hearts of all who knew him. He was a loving husband and father and a faith ful friend. He leaves a wife and four children to mourn his death, which is indeed an ir reparable loss to them. Amicus Hartsville, S. C..^Iay 15,1891.
