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.

THE ELLERBES.
Th# Fimily from which South Caro
lina’* Next Governor Sprang.
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.

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.

Several of the young folks from
this place* attended a “confes
sion party” at Mr. W. H. 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. My boy you
must keep your eyes skinned
