Death of Miss Mabel Rollins, Eldest Daughter of the Late R. D. Rollins. Lake City, March22, (Special):?Miss Mabel Rollins, eldest daughter of the late Richard D Rollins, died Monday night, March 21, at about 10 o'clock. She was ill about a week and on Thursday the case became so desperate that little hopes were entertained after that time. i nererore ner going away was not unexpected. An operation was performed on Thursday evening- by Dr McLeod, of Florence, assisted by Drs DuRant, Hinnant and Williams. She rallied from the operation and the unprofessional took hope, but the physicians saw but a slender probability of recover}*. Of the immediate family her mother and one sister, Mrs Ella Epps, were with her when the end came. The other two sisters :ame Tuesday, Miss Hallie from Pensacola, Fla., and Mrs Eva Hollo way from Durham, N. C. Mr Clarence Rollins is in Baltimore. She indeed "fell on sleep." Her passing- away was the quiet and painless gliding- into dreamland of a tired babe on its mother's bosom. One soft sigh, and her spirit had drifted through the veil. And her life was, in some re ipects, like her death--sott, quiet ind painless. Gentle and amiible, with that innate refinement [hat is everywhere the distinguishing mark of the true lady; ?ver careful of the feelings of others, avoiding causing pain to myone, she was a thorough and rrue christian and a staunch worker for her church and Sunlay-school. Fearlessly she stood :>y the principles of her religion ind was not swept from her obligations by the frivolities iround her. She sleeps the deep of the just and no doubt is low with Him whom she folowed. She will be buried at the Baptist cemetery "Wednesday by the side of her sister and father, vho went away only six months igo. Peace, sweet peace to her ishes, and may the sod rest ightly on her grave, from which ;he will surety rise again. W. L. B. Hampton Monument Fond.

Monday night about 8 o'clock there came near being a serious | wreck on the railroad near the ; crossing. The local freight was j standing on the main line when a tnrougn ireignt going tne same way and scheduled to pass the local here ran into the rear iend of the latter and smashed | the caboose to smithereens, beI sides damaging several box'cars. The engine of the through j freight had the head-light j knocked off and the pilot somewhat damaged, but was otherwise uninjured. A force of hands quickly got | to work and cleared away the debris, so that there was only a few hours suspension of travel. The cause of the collision seems to have been that the through freight was not signaled in time to stop before running into the local. The > j moving engine was running at a very slow rate when it struck : the caboose but the momentum I i 4.,^ a was sumucut. hj spiuiuci n im.u kindling- wood.

Newberry, March 19:?Special: Messrs W L Bass, of Lake City, and Shipp, attorneys, representing certain parties in Williamsburg county, appeared before Chief Justice Y J Pope at chambers here tAis morning in the famous LakfCity and Scranton dispensaries'case, asking for a stay of the operation of the dispensaries at Lake City and Scranton until the case has been decided by the Supreme : Court. Mr W F Clayton, of the Florence Bar, was represented by Messrs J Y Culbreath and I H Hunt, of the Newberry Bar, j who appeared for the board of control.
