Annie Abbott Displays a Remark able and Mysterious Power. A most remarkable, and at the same time a most interest ing and amusing, performance was given in the opera house on Monday night by Mrs. Annie Abbott, “the Little Georgia Mag net”. She displayed a wonder- f il power, which perhaps is more closely akin to electricity than anything else It is im possible in our limited space to describe all the feats she per formed. Without any physical effort she baffled the strongest men in the audience. They tried singly to lift her off the floor, to take a stick from her hands and other similar experi ments, but failed in all. Then the combined strength of two or three men proved equally un • successful. Mrs. Abbott, in turn, perform ed feats which would seem to require herculean strength. She lifted a chair upm which were seated six men, one upon an other. She did not grasp the chair and use physical effort, which would be wonderful enough in itself, but by merely touching it with her hand she raised the chair and the six men. Another mysterious feature is that she can transmit this pow er to another person. She took two little boys from the audi ence and by merely holding their hands prevented anyone from raisingtnemfrom the floor. What is this power that Miss Abbott possesses* It has com- S letely mystified our people. [rs. Abbott has travelled all over the world, meeting the most eminent scientists, yet none have been able to explain how she performs her feats and she does not know herself. This power, whatever it should be, mav be classed with those mys terious and interesting subjects, hypnotism and mind reading, although it is entirely distinct from them. IN MEMORY OF CADET LAW. The Corps of Citadel Cadets Pays Re spect to its Deceased Member. The vacancy in the scholar ship in the Citadel Academy for Darlington county, which was filled last week by the appoint ment of Mr. Josey DuBose, was caused by the death of Cadet J. Gillam Law. at Hartsville last summer. Upon the sad demise of this young cadet the Citadel Academy has taken action, as will be seen by the following re port from the News and Courier of Friday: “The order officially informing the corps of Cadet Gillam law’s death was read at retreat last Saturday. The sen timent of sorrow expressed by the superintendent was echoed in the hearts of all of the coiqis and his words spoke only praise of the dead cadet and deep sor row at his untimely demise The corps, through respect to the deceased member, will wear a band of crape on the left arm for one month.” A Million Friend*.

The Darlington Tobacco Warehouse continues to make most satisfactory sales. Large quantities of the weed have re cently been disposed of a n d good prices have been given. A sale was made last week that is well worthy of note. A tobacco planter from a neighboring county brought 477 pounds to the warehouse and sold the en tire lot for #170,45. After all expenses of the sale were de ducted he received a dheck for the not amount of #160,70. Of the lot, 97 pounds brought 51 cents a pound and 103 pounds brought 48 cents. The average net price on the whole was 34 cents. These figures speak elo quently for themselves. Substantial prices are given on all tobacco with color. Good croppers are sought after by all the buyers and are going at high figures. CUT OFF IN PROMISING YOUTH. The Death of the Oldest Son of Mr Thos. E. Early, of Swift Creek. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas E.
