ENTERED INTO REST.
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.

REAR END COLLISION.
Local Freight Telescaped by Throogh
Freight Monday Night.
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

one was hurt on either train.
THAT DISPENSARIES' CASE.
Argument Heard Saturday Before Jos;
tice Pope, Who Reserves His Decision.
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. Quite an interesting
argument of about two hours
was made upon the question
at issue, the sole question being
whether the dispensaries
should be allowed to sell whiskey
until the case is decided by
the Supreme Court. Chief Justice
Pope reserved the decision,
which in all probability will be
filed in a few days.?News and
Courier.

j himself wants but little here below.

value in sickness has been tried and
