TOWN TO DOILO ENGINE HOUSE.
Lakk City, March 20:?Mr A
<i Kollock, editor of The Dar-1
lington News, spent Monday in
town on business.
Mr S JB Kodgers has been
elected chief of the police force
and took charge of his office
Monday. We believe that he is
ju>t the right man for the place
and are confident he will discharge
his duties to the satisfaction
of everybody,except the
evil-doer*.
Dr A H Williams spent a portion
of last week in Charleston.
The improvement in the matter
of trains coming according
to schedule is really most marked.
Strange as it maj* seem,
last Monday the old "fish
special" actually arrived on
time. If this has happened bef

Is it possible that the
railroad people who control
this matter have come to the
conclusion at last that the local
traveling public are worthy of
consideration? Well, well, wonders
seem to be coming with a
rush.

town Sunday on his way home
from the lower part of Florence
countyt where he bad been attending
district conference.
Mr M A Thomas went to Cottageville,
Colleton county, last
week to visit his daughter, Airs
E H Willis.
Hon J C Lanham, of Summerton,
was welcomed here Friday
last. His visits are a genuine
pleasure to us all and we only
wish thev were closer together.
The b?fcn and stables in* the
rear of Mr Fuller Rickenbaker's
dwelling- were destroyed Thursday
night of last week. The fire
y. started inside of the barn and
its origin is a mystery. When
discovered about 9 o'clock too
much headway had been made
to extinguish the tire, but it was
confined to this one building.
The loss was not heavv, as the
buildings were not costly and
all of the contents, except a little
feed and some old harness, were
removed.
The drought in this sectiou is'
beginning to cause some worry.
Ever}'thing is needing a little
rain and the danger of tires is
very great, owing to the extreme
dryness, combined with the high
winds, which are almost daily.
The town couucil has secured
a lot between the Sturgeon hotel
and the "Miles*' house, upon
which a tire engine house will
be built at once. The building
will be of iron and large enough
to accommodate the engine,
hose-cart, reels, trucks, ladders,
etc..and will be surmounted by a
tower for the alarm bell and
hose drying racks. This location
is in the center of the business
district and is therefore
well adapted to the purpose.

A NATIONAL TRAGEDY.
Dramatic Scene at the Degradation of
Captain Dreyfus.
Xine o'clock; General Darras
draws his swonl; orders ring out;
the infantrymen shoulder arms;
the sabers of the cavalry gleam; at
the far edge of the field a little
group appears. It is made up of
four artillerymen in somber dolmans.
In the center is Dreyfus,
the light flashing on his sword, on
the three gold galloons that mark
i l- n?; l.: -x.: l a.
Ills raiiK. nesiuu nun Miiues uie
adjutant of the guard, the executioner
of the military decree, a
giant of a man, cloaked, plumed,
glorious. The little group comes
obliquely across the naked field.
The "traitor's" step is firm, his head
is high, his left hand grasps the hilt
of "his sword. Without the mob
lifts its dull clamor, the sulky growl
of 6,000 alcoholic throats. Where
the general sits on his horse the
little group halts. The cannoneers
fall back, and Dreyfus stands alone.
Very small he seems; motionless,
cut in steel. And the general
speaks:
"Dreyfus, you are unworthy to
bear arms. In the name of the
French republic I degrade you!"
Then the desolate man raises
suddenly his arms to heaven and
cries with a loud voice, "I am innocent!"
As sudden is the roar that comes
from the Latin mob, surging
against the iron fence, "Death!"
and "Judas!" and "Traitor!" A silence
more terrible than .he roar
of the mob falls as the executioner
steps forward, strips off the epaulets,
the gold braid, the gold buttons?ensigns
of a man's honor?
and breaks across his knee the soldier's
sword. And Dreyfus stands
immobile, beaten upon by all the
winds of fate. Only when the sword
snaps in twain a great cry cornea
from him?a male cry, sonorous and
stern:
"On the heads of my wife and
children I swear 1 am innocent! I
6wear it! Vive la France!"
And the mob, in the streets, at
the gates, on the roof tops, howls:
"Death! Death!" It is the answer
of France. The parade begins.
The little group is led now by two
officers of the Republican guard.
Slowly it passes the long files of the
soldiery, just beyond sword reach?
lest an impulsive saber should reach
the "traitor's" heart. The little
man is dressed in black rags now.
But he marches steadily, his head
erect. There is not a quiver in him,
so firm is his drilled courage of a
soldier. When he passes the fence,
behind which the mob seethes, h>!
cries once more his innocence and
"V i*ro la TVannal" Whflt R?VS
they cannot hear, but they answer
him with crucifying clamor. To
the journalists he says, "Tell
France I am innocent!" And they
call him "Judas" and "traitor." Not
once does he lower his head in this
grim parade of agonv. Not once

His Weapon.
In 6ome parts of Ireland it is a
custom among bank clerks to speak
of one another as "officers" to the
bank, but little Jim Bender, the recently
imported Cockney waiter in
a County Mayo hotel, was not aware
of this custom.
"Have you seen any of our officers
here this morning?" asked a lordly
knight of the quill of Jim a few
days ago.
Jim glanced keenly at his interrogator.
"Yussir," he answered promptly;
"it isn't three minutes ago since one
of 'em went out with his sword be'ind
'is ear."?London Answers.

behind is driven into us."
"Arrah, then, it's all right again,
your honor," said Pat, "for I've just
druv mv pole into the carriage oefore."
Dividing a Journey.
An Englishman was sent out 0:1 a
journey to take a parcel to a place
about twelve miles from Maldon,
Essex, a little town near the coast
As he started rather late in the daj
his master was surprised to see him
back soon after dark. "You sureh
haven't been there and back," his
employer said to him. "No, no,
master," the man replied; "I got
halfway theer, and it began to git
dark, so I com'd back ag'in. I'll

HE GOT COFFEE
' The Major Asked For Tea, but Thai
Made No Difference.
I
Back in the seventies of the last
century, when the Kansas division
of the Union Pacific was called the
Kansas Pacific, Major E. D. Reddin^ton,
who had served with dis
i tinction in the civil war, was paymaster.
At that time the paymaster
was the biggest man connected
; J with the road in the estimation of
; the employees and the people living
in the towns along the line, and his
arrival in the pay car was usually
I the occasion for a great outpouring
of the people.
One night Major Heddington's
car pulled into the town of Wallace.
, The major and his clerks were given
a grand welcome by the people.
They uere escorted to a railroad
i boarding house and treated as royal
i guests. It was conducted by a buxi
oni Irishwoman, who boasted that
, j she set the best table of any town
j along the road.
At sup;H'r that night every regui!
lar hoarder turned up at. the table
II looking his The Irish "landlady,"
as the*, called her. appeared
i in a neat idtte calico dress, all
primped up and smiling.
"Tay 'r eolTee?" she asked, with
| a pretty courtesy, as she passed
11 from one guest to another.
; j The regular boarders understood
' it all, and they answered, "Coffee,
. please, mum." Major Tleddington,
? however, was a down east Yankee
and not much of a coffee drinker,
j so when the question was put to
. i him he replied with his usual po
J liteness:
I "I wilf have a cup of tea, if you
I please."
t It almost took her breath away.
I The look of disgust on her face
i caused the regular boarders to titter.
Then she flared up.
"Say coffee, ye omadahn, f'r we
j have no tay." she said as she poured
I the major's cup full of steaming
| coffee.?Kansn? City Star.
Prompt Action Nocoosary.
"Is this Lawyer Sharpley?" asked
! the caller', who appeared with a big
II lump on his jaw. The man in the
j swivel chair admitted that he was
!1 Mr. Sharpley and also that he saw
the lump,
i "Yes, it is quite noticeable," said
t the caller, with a cheerful smile. "I
, got it a couple of days ago while I
[ was stepping on a Btrect car. The
, motorman started too soon, and he
i made me hit my jaw against the
, side of the car. I thought at first
i that it had broken the bone, but it
I hadn't quite. It hurt me awfully,
i though, and I want you to bring
-1 suit against the company for dami
j ages."
., "I am very busy just now," said
' j the lawyer, "Due l can lawe it up;
;1 for you in the course of three or j
i j four days."
(j "That won't do at all."
<r\Vhy not?" I,
! "Because." answered the caller j
i hesitatingly, "that might be too !
late. The lump is getting smaller i
every day."
Sentiment In the Wedding.
Very few persons have the cour- J
,, age to be married quietly, without j
;' fuss or expense. Men have some- |
i: times gone through the ceremony '
and left their wives at the church |
,, door. But in such cases the mar- j
( riage was one of compulsion or \
state necessity and in nowise af-1
i, fected the general custom. The old
fashion of the posy ring, given on
the wedding day, was pretty, and
these rings, with their quaint con :
ceits and affectionate mottoes, are
now eagerly sought after as curiosi- ;
; | ties. In these prosaic times lovers
! j no longer share broken doins or |
) the halves of a locket or give min
iatures to wear around the neck, as j
j even George IV., that heartless and J
j selfish monarch, did, being buried
' j with the picture of Mrs. Fitz-Her11
bert hanging on his breast. Little
t j items of sentiment are gradually
:' d isappearing, but not the fine
clothes, the parade, the extravai
gance, the crowds and the cham
i pagne.?London Queen.

was of^reat assistance to the authorities

When an unusually troublesome feli
low was on the way to the lockup
;; Black Maria, as Maria Lee was call,

11 purpose that her name was associat';
ed with almost every arrest made.
11 Black Maria often carried a pris,;
oner to the lockup on her shoulder,
; and when the prison van was insti;
tuted for the purpose of carrying
[ prisoners it naturally enough was
styled the Black Mana.
