' The Atlantic Coast Line has made another change of sche dule which wont into effect on Sunday last. The feature of the change which is of most in terest to the people of the town of Darlington is that the Sun day train between Darlington and Charleston, which was put on the road about a month ago, has been taken off. T^e change on the Cheraw & Darlington Railroad reverts to the old schedule of the through passenger. Instead of Darling ton being the terminus, this trains runs through between Wadesboro and Florence. So far as Darlington is concerned the time of the schedule is not materially changed, the pas senger leaving in the morning at 7 o’clock an 1 returning at 9.23 at night, making close con nection at Florence, as hereto fore, with the Charleston and Columbia trains. To the people along the line of the Cheraw & Darlington above Darlington the change is of great benefit, for it again gives them a through passenger and close connection with the outside world. Those of our readers who are thus situated we refer to the full time table of the through passenger, which is published in another column, for further information. There is a decided change in the local freight. The schedule of this train is: Northbound, leave Florence, 7.30 a m; Fal- Tnetto, 7..’i5; Darlington, (arrive 8.10) leave 8.40; Floyd’s, 9.10; Dovesville, 9.35; Society Hill, 10.20 and arrive at Cheraw 11.20 a m; southbound, leaveCheraw, 1.00 p m; Society Hill, 2.15; Dovesville, 3.00; Floyd’s, 3.20; Darlington (arrive 3.34) leave 4.00; Palmetto, 4.30 and arrive at Florence, 5.00 p m. On the Hartsville Railroad there is also a slight change and we a^ain refer our readers to the time table in another col umn. This train runs between Hartsville and Darlington as heretofore, but passengers now change to the through train at Floyd’s instead of Darlington as the two trains by the new schedule pass each other at the former point. MAILS ON THE C. & D The Change of Schedule Necessitate* a Change of the Mails. With f^o change of schedule on the Cheraw and Darlington Railroad on Monday (mention of which is made elsewhere), the time for the arrival and de parture of the mails on that road also underwent a change. As the new schedule is the same as the one we had last year, the mail arrangements are also the same. Two mails arrive from Florence every day, one on the freight arriving here at 8.10 in the morning, which only brings mail to Darlington, and the other on the through passenger, arriving at 9.23 at night, which also carries mail on to Wades boro. The southbound passen ger from Wadesboro, which ar rives here at 7.00 in the morn ing, brings the mail from up the road and carries the Darlington outgoing mail to Florence. This is the only southbound train on this road that carries mail from Darlington. The Hartsville mail arrives in Darlington at 7.20 in the morn ing and leaves at 8.30 at night. In the hours given above we refer to the time for the depart ure of the trainr from the depot. In every instance the mail leaves the postoffice half an hour earlier. her cabin was discovered to be on fire and when assistance ar rived, her house was completely enveloped in the flames and no thing could be done. When the fire had burnt down, the uncon sumed portion of her trunk was found near the fire-place the head and limbs burnt off and the head portion, near her hearth, while her bed had been in the opposite end of the cabin. Whether the old woman was the victim of foul play; had dropped dead suddenly while near the fire-place; or had caught on fire while cooking her supper and thence communicated the fire to her dwelling, were mat ters of conjecture. The jury returned a verdict to the effect that she came to her death by burning, the particulars of which, rvere unknown to the jury.

THE REMORSELESS REAPER. His Doings Around About Lamar— Three Deaths in One Week. The Remorseless Reaper has been doing his work about La mar. Three deaths have occur red there during the past week. The first victim was Mr. James M. Phillips who died last week after an illness of only five days. He was about twenty-two years old and was a very worthy young man. He was a son of Mr. Manly Phillips. Mrs. Nannie Reynolds, wife of Mr. D. C. Reynolds, died on Sunday morning, aged about twenty-three years. She was a highly esteemed and accom plished lady an i was the daugh ter of the late Mr. Reden Gee. Besides her husband she leaves a very young infant. Her re mains were interred at Ebene- zer on Monday. Mr. W. K. Windham died on Sunday afternoon. He was an old man, about sixty-seven years of age. Ho was a pros perous and good citizen and was greatly respected. He was also i a member of the Baptist church. There was $2,000 insurance on his life. His remains were in terred at Zion Church on Mon day. These deaths have cast a gloom over the Lamar section. SOUTH CAROLINA POLITICS. A Newspaper Man Talks with a Prom inent Allianceman. [The State.] There is considerable talk go ing on in the press and all over the State among the people just now about the future of politics in this State—whether Govern or Tillman will be asked to re linquish h i s Senatorial hopes and go in for a “record-break ing” third term or not, etc. A few days ago one of the leading political Alliancemen of the State was questioned about the matter. He said very emphatically that there would be no chance in the Governor Tillman being a can didate for Governor for a third time. He thinks that the coming candidate has not yet been named; that he will be a farmer. But there were so many things going to happen it would be, hard to foretell who this man re P a,rec “ would be. He did not think that John Gary Evans, Secre-i tary of State Tindal or Donald son would be anywhere near the goal. In speaking of the Alliance presidency he unhesitatingly declared that he “doubted very much if Donaldson would be re-elected for the regulation se cond term.” He says Donald-i son hasn’t kept faith with the J Alliance. It was understood | that he was to preserve the ten-1 ets of the Alliance and not seek i office. He was elected a mem ber of the National Democratic Executive Committee despite the opposition of Irby. This was a victory for the Alliance, “but Donaldson has failed to conduct himself as he should have done.” His recent con troversy with Governor Tillman would have its effect on the election of a president of the Alliance and on the Alliance’s position in politics, but what that would be remains to be seen. Brookhaven and subsequently put the rioters to flight deserves a monument. A few lessons of this kind ad ministered to the lawless spi it that has heretofore been too prevalent in some sections of the South will be of more effect than half a dozen conventions of Southern Governors toward assuring the country and the immigration tending in that di rection that the law is supreme and that the citizen cannot be ruthlessly despoiled of his rights or his life or his liberty. The example of Governor Stone forms a striking contrast to that of Governor Tillman, and Mississippi is bound to pro fit by the one as South Carolina is sure to lose by the other. FROM DROUGHT TO FLOOD. Texas People Prayed for Rain—And They Got it. San Antonio, Texas, May 13. —The heaviest fall of rain ever known iu Southwest Texas oc curred during the past forty- eight hours. The situation in the section of country between here and the Gulf coast, a dis tance of 15o miles, has changed from a severe drought to the other extreme, and the cotton and corn crops will be badly damaged. One half mile of track and two bridges were washed away on the Arkansas Pass Railway, in Wilson coun ty, twenty miles south of here, and traffic over that line be tween here and coast points has been cut off. Thousands of acres of farming land in Wilson and the adjoining counties are inundated for a depth of from two to five feet of water, and it is still raining. Slight washouts are reported on the Southern Pacific and International and Great Northern railways. Specimen Cases. S H.
