The saddest death that has oc curred in Tinnuoutivillc for niaiiv years was thatof Miss Mabel Lcclim r on last Friday night ahout half past 0 o’clock. She had returned home from college only a week previous L> speii! Hie Christmas holidays with her parents when she was taken ill. Her funeral was. preached in the Methodist Church on Sunday morning at 10 o’clock by Rev. W. B. Duncan to a large concourse of sor rowing relatives and friends who had assembled to pay their Iasi respects to the deceased. The. burial took place at the family graveyard, alwul 5 miles from this place, immediately after thefuneral service. The family have the heartfelt sympathy of the “iitire community in this their sad bereavement—Timmonsville News., Oih inst. Farmers, Look at This. In conversation with a prominent merchant the other day he staled that about thirty-three percent, of his accounts with small farmers was for meat and flour and about the same for fertilizers. Right there could he effected a great saving if the farmers would make their own meat, and it is ve ,- y much to he hoped that they will do so in future. The trou ble is not so much the low price of cotton, hul the fact that too much money is paid out for things that might lie produced at home, and then too a little self-denial would enable people to dispense with a good many other things that are not absolutely necessary. There is not a nur hant, hi any of our towns, who would not lie glad never to 1 ave.another pound of meat, sack of meal or barrel of (lour in his store except to supply the wants of hi - retail trade. The merchant is not paid for handling it and the farmer is kept poor by buying western meat. The I’aper gild the Town. No newspaper, no matter how ably edited or how enterprisingly conduct ed, can long keep alloat and abreast with the tin oi when published in u dead town. It takes a live loan to make a live newspajier. There never was in the past hundred years, never will, and never can bo a live town without a newspajier. It reflects the push, progress tnd asj.irations of the town. The newspajier is dejiendent on the town. Without home jiatronage it cannot live and thrive; then again, while it is dejxmdent on the town, the j town cannot get along without it. I There is no auxiliary so valuable to a | growing town as an o it.-jioken, jmb- lie spirited jiajier, wisely and well managed. Nor is Hint all; the business man who does not advertise in it, and the enterprising citizen who does not subscribe for it and talk iiji for it, stands in his own light and is a 1 stumbling block in the way of his city’s progress.

Mr. Lfitfh’s Version. “Mr. Is.-itch’s version of the rejiort that he was recently intoxicated in Augusta is 1 hat he reached Augusta late one night and went to a restau rant for something to ajijieasc his hunger and that they fed him on sjioilt oysters, and as it was late at night, and the drug stores were closed, and he could get no other sort of remedy, he just took some whiskey as a medicine, and that the whiskey nndsjioilt oysters made him sick and caused him to \- mil on tho hotel office lloor. and that is the way the rejiort got out that he was drunk.” A - we published and commented on Mr. Leitch's leported downfall, wc very gladly give him the benefit of file denial which we publish above. The Augusta jiajK-r that contained the rejiort offers to jirove it and Mr. Twitch’s jirojier course would have been to carry the matter into court, mil convict the iiewspa]) t of having published a slander. A Mr. I’leketl. of Columbia, claims to have been with him, Mr. Leitch, until nine o’clock the same night, and this does not tally with I he statement of reach ing Augusta on a late train. Then too the drugstores in cities are al ways accessible at any hour of the night, and even it they were not, whiskey is a very dangerous inedi ble for a man who has ever been a drunkard. Asa simjile act of justice to both himself and his friends, he inglii to make the jiajier, if tin charge is false, retract it. K. of I*. Itauijiirl. Last Wednesday evening the (<au < Cock Lodge Knights of 1 \tbiasgav< their annual liampiet and listened to in eloquent address by Past Dram' Chancellor Henry T. Thompson, oi Darlington. Tlio-cHress was deliver e 1 iii the Aciidemv of Music and tin iiipjicr was served at the Jervev House by its genial host. In* hb address Mr. Thoni|i.son gave some account of the birth and growth of the noble order of Pvt hinns. It was originated by a poor schoolmaster, lustns 11. Bathhone, in the city of Washington in Fehruarv 1 HIM, “amid tile throes of the eruelist eenllicl tin world has ever known” and the idea was insjiiml hy the story of Damon and Pythias. From that small beginning (lie order has grown to a membership of suit,(Min and extends icross the length and breadth of the American continent. The sjieaker related the touching storv of jmre ind iinscllish devotion and drew lessons from it. Friendship, he said begot Charity and Charity Benevo- nce and these were interwoven into the jirineijiles of the order and if f lilhfuliy. observed its memliers would know no North, nor fmutb, nor East nor West. He related many instances of devo tion and selfsaerilice on the jiart of the Knights and closed with a tribute to Dime Cock Isxlgc—the banner lodge of South Carolina.— Sumter Freeman. A Very Cheering Sign. One of our intelligent readers, a practical and successful farmer, has informed us that there is mole oats and wheat plan in his neighbor hood than ever before, and exjiresses the opinion that the low jirieeof cot ton will he a blessing in disguise, and that in another yeir the condition of the country will he Ijeller than ever before. This exactly coincides with the opinion we have cxjircssed in the columns of TiikHehaiji, and wc are satisfied that there is no ground for desjHindency, hut on the contrary, every rea-on to feel hopeful. The very fact that we have it in our [tow er to overstock the markets of the world with cotton, is good evidence of the productive cajiacity of our soil and the industry and energy of our jeoji’e. Our older readers will remember that in IKfiJ, with a short croji, and one that cost a great deal more to make than the jircsent one, 1 cotton went down as low as eight: cents, and what was worse hud to he sold at that jirice as no one was aide to hold for a rise, and yet dc. jiite this our farmers managed to pull through, and lo-day we defy any one Us show an agricultural section where the jteojile live; better and arc more generally prosjK-rous tliun the farm ers of Darlington eoiiuty, and what wc say of them will apply to tl^e whole Pee Dee section.

A jiroiuinent citizen of Florence staled on the streets here, a few days ago, that Senator Bighamof Florence, was likely to lie a candidate for Dov ernor this year and that Bigham says that Hie Dovernor and legislature have both failed to do their duty and redeem theitypledges. If Senator Bighiim eoneludes to run, there will no doubt he a racy eriiiijiaign. It is not stated whether he expects to make Oovernor’s mansion furniture one of the issues or not.—Chester field Cor. State. AVe do not know how much truth there is in the above rejiort, hut it very jiliiiulv shows how great is the dissatisfaction among Mr. Tillman’s sujiportcrs. If the Florence Senator gets on his war jiaint he won’t he afraid to face any of his opjiimeiits on the stumjis, and it would he worth the trouble of a good trip to hear Tillman and Bigham have a lilt. Florence is full of enterjirise and shows it in polities as well as other things, so it is not a matter of sur prise that it should lie one of the first places to trot out a candidate for (Jovcrnor. STICIDE l\ MARION. U ni. H.

As will he seen hy the above notice, the Clemson College will not ojien for one year, and while this is very much to he regretted, it is hardly fair to put all the blame on the Legislature. The trouble about the matter is that the trustees were too lavish with the money they had in hand, and jmt up the buildings and other imjirove- ments on a scale that was hardly warranted, and the natural result is that their resources aie cxlnnsled and the work of necessity must stoji. Of course the buildings being left in an ineomjMetc state for so long a time will, of necessity, be damaged, hut this seems unavoidable. We do not, for a moment, believe that any one has made any unfair jirofit out of the work, but simjdy think that, the trustees were unwise in start ing out on such a big scale. “Camille,” Alexander Dumas'mas- t r-jiiece in live acts is a familiar jilay to our jieojile.
