A contemporary, Hgurintf cp- on the money cost of the civil war to $8,420,185,017. This in- cluden current war expenses, |8,144,9(’5,087; bounties, $285,- His Sudden Illness and Death—A Sketch of his Life. We stated in our last issue that at the hour of going to press the death of Dr. W. J. Alexander, who was stricken with apoplexy, was momenta rily expected. It occurred on Wednesday night, a few hours after the paper was printed. It is probable that no death has ever caused more gloom in Dar lington than this, for the de ceased was held in such high esteem. Of strictest integrity, kind hearted and gentle, he was honored and respected by all and beloved by those who were his closest friends; of remark able ability he easily occupied a prominent position which so few men obta : n. The loss occa sioned by his death is incalcu lable. Dr. William J. Alexander was born in Georgia in 1848 and was graduated from Mercer University, at Macon, with high honors. He entered the Baptist ministry, after complet ing a course at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He was called to Edgefield, in this State, about 1875 and in 1877 he was called to the pastor ate of the Baptist Church at Darlington. It was then that our people became first acquaint ed with him and this acquain tance soon ripened into the warmest affection. While serv ing as pastor here he drew the people, irrespective of denomi nations close to him. They rec ognized in him a good man with a great mind. By 1882 Dr. Alexander’s abil ity had become well recognized and he was in that year elected professor of philosophy in the South Carolina College. Dur ing one of the vacations of the College he took a trip to Ger many for the purpose of per fecting himself in the branches of study which he taught, for he was not a man who was satisfied with doing things half way. In 1881, on the reorgan ization of the College Dr. Alex ander’s chair was combined with another, so he was left without a place in the institu tion. He returned to Darling ton and was made president of the phosphate company, of which enterprise he was the chief promoter. He held this| f osition at the time of hisdeath. j t was during his service at the College that Dr. Alexander’s religious views underwent a! change and he connected him self with the Unitarian Church. Dr. Alexander had a most re markable mind, clear, logical and forcible. His intellectual superior would have been hard ! to find in this country. The 1 friends of the College have al ways regarded him as one of the ablest of the many able men who have been members of the faculty of that old and historic institution of learning, and his retirement from the College caused universal regret. His mind was broad and his information great, consequently his death was a public calam- ity. He leaves his wife and three children and to these a sorrow ing community extend sincere sympathy. The remains were interred in the Baptist cemetery on Thurs day afternoon, Capt. Henry T. Thompson reading the burial services. The following gentle men acted as pallbearers: Hon orary—G. W. Dargan, J. J. Ward, C. W. Hewitt, J. G. Mc Call,G. K. King, Waddy Thomp son; Active—W. C. Coker, O. B. Edwards, J. E. Norment, 9. C. Walsh, A. C. McFall, M. T.

As the-“true valuation” of all property in the eleven seceding States in 1800 was altogether but $5,202,160,207, it is seen that the civil war has already cost some $3,225,000,000 more than the money value of all of the property in the South, and will cost us in pensions, interest, j etc., several billions more. Esti mated iu the same way and tak ing account of the destruction of the value of Confederate notes and bonds and of the cap ital of financial institutions in the South in consequence of the cival war, the loss of that sec tion to date must be reckoned at hardly less than $8,000,000,- 000. Sixteen billion is, perhaps, not an overestimate of the sum somebody’s political misconduct has cost us. yes or no she means.

THREE FLORENCE CONVICTS Slip the Guard -fine Well Known about Darlington. [Florence Times, June 15.] Three of the city com its that were in the chain gang made their escape on Tuesday while under the shelter at the school building from the rain. Among the number was Mr. Eugene Pugh, [colored] who, it will be remembered, poured forth his wrath and slanderous abuses on the mayor and policeman on Front street sometime ago and who was sentenced to 150 days labor on the streets. Pugh was lucky in escaping and not get ting shot, but to his sorrow he was captured at Mayesville yes terday morningand was brought back last night. He will be balled and chained and put to work. If the others are caught they will be done likewise.
