J. W. Mixon, stenographer of the Sumter circuit, has sent in his resignation to Judg Buchanan. Mixon says he does not care to embarrass Judge Buchanan and thinks he had better resign on account of the hard things which have been •aid against him in connection with the rebate matter. How ever, he considers both himself and his brother innocent of any wrong doing ana poses as a martyr before the public. It is said that there are sev eral applicants for Mixon’s place, but it is not known yet who will get the appointment. Mr. L. I. Parrott, of Darlington, who was strenographer of the circuit under Judge Fraser, has been filling the position since the opening of court at Flor ence. It is reported that John Gary Evans will go to Augusta to live after his time as Governor expires. It is perfectly natur al for John Gary Evans to want to live in Augusta—there he can be near Golden Rhind and perhaps go into partnership with him in the bond refunding business. It must be remem bered, by the way, that our es teemed Governor has already made, in partnership with this man, more out of one transac tion tlfan his law practice has poid him ever since he came to the bar. Yes, Augusta is the place for our Governor and no one should envy him his han kering after Golden Rhind. COMMISSIONERS OF ELECTION. Governor Evans has appoint ed the following State and Fed eral commissioners of election for Darlington County: State— E. E. Kirven, Dovesville; H. J. Nettles, Hartsville; C. L. Rey nolds, Lamar. Federal—B. T. Gandy, Mont Clare; T. B. Cham bers, Dovesville; G. W. Smith, Lamar. John R.

To the Editor of The Sunday News: With facile pen Mr. J. H. Marshall recently gave us a pleasing pen picture of Gen W. H. Ellerbe, who is the Dem ocratic nominee for Governor of South Carolina, and we may remark here that our State can deem herself happy that her white people, irrespective of factional feeling, have chosen such a man—one whose past career has been marked by con servatism and consistency, whose administration for two terms of an important State office was entirely satisfactory, and who does not go into office by fanning the flames of fac tional or sectional prejudices. The following item about the family from which Gen. Eller be sprung will be interesting. We condense it from Bishop Alexander Gregg’s “History of the Old Cheraws,” a work whose fullness as a history merits that it should he far more familiar to our people than it is: The Ellerbys were an En glish family who emigrated to Virginia. Thomas Ellerby was the first of the name to emi grate to the Pee Dee. He re moved from Virginia between 1735 and 1740. He brought a good property with him, and became the owner of extensive landed possessions. He was probably the first slaveholder on the upper Pee Dee. The change in the spelling of the name, according to the work from which we are quoting, took place, it is said, soon after Thomas SUerby’s death, while his two sons were yet yonng, and was made by their teacher, the name not Saving yet be come familiar. McDonald Furman. r, Sumter County, Sep- for some time, they themselves did not set the wedding day until yesterday. The bride is one of the most young ladies in this being of such a pleasant _ tion as to win the friend ship of all with whom she came in contact. She is also a lady of refinement, a charming con versationalist, and with all has been a prominent worker in the Presbyterian church. She will be missed in Cumberland socie ty as well as in the church. The groom is not unknown to Cumberland, he having visited the city upon several occasions on business connected with the American Book Company, of New York, of which he is a trusted representative. Mr. Spain is a typical Southern gen tleman, and possesses an at tractive and striking personali ty. Mr. and Mrs. Spain will leave shortly for Savannah, Ga., their future home. The Times wishes the couple well and can truly say that Cumberland’s loss will be Sa vannah’s gain,—Cumberland Times, Sept 22nd, 1896. [Mr. Spain is a Darlingtonian and has many friends and relatives here, who will be interested in the above. Ed.

Cross well’s, of Alcot, on last Thurs day evening, and had a splendid time. Mr. and Mrs. Crosswell always make the young folks enjoy then: selves at their home on such occasions. One of the young men of this place called on his girl not long since and, on his way home at a late hour of the night, went to sleep in his buggy. The lines dropped out of his hands and the horse took fright and dash ed off in a run. The young man waking up, partially tried to stop the horse, but, mistak ing his cravat for the lines ,tore it from his collar.

The meeting was conducted by Rev. J. W Perry, of Hartsville. The preaching was very good and profitable. There were six additions to the church.

I have seen but one building totally destroyed and that was a gin house on a place belonging to Capt. Car rigan, known as the Carter place.
