No Sunday Trains, but a Through Pas
senger to Wadesboro. '
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.
