The authority assumed by Mr Banks Caughman, who holds the position of railroad commissioner, in changing the route of the promised train from Bennettsville to Lane is disgusting in the extreme. The towns interested along the proposed route are all optr? the rhanirp; vet the ? o-> J mighty Caughman, who in his campaigD posed as the people's candidate against the corporations, issues his orders that the train shall run from Sumter to Gib^ son, thus cutting out Bennettsviile, Florence, Scranton, Lake City, Kings tree, Charleston ana other i.nermediate points. Well, jna^be, when Mr Banks offers for le-election some of these little obscure hamlets will cut him out. The following from the News & Conner is so timely and to the point that we canuot refrain from reproducing it for the benefit of our reader Some da;," perhaps, the public * will come to recognize lhat the conn-1 ty supervisor is tne business lnanagerof tbe countv; that more discretion is allowed ?9 him than ?to another county official; that It is of paramount importance that he shall be a strong, conservative, practical, tactful business man; that the salary attaching to the office should be sufficient to command the' services oi sucn a mau, ami mat uie voters who cast their ballots tor any other kind are making a,mistake for which they may be called upon to pay clearly.

The city is intersected by many canals, which are spanned by nearly 300 bridges, and resembles Venice in the mingling of land and water, though it is considerably larger than that city. The ; canals divide the city, which is about ; ten miles in circumference, into ninety islands. The city of Venice is built on eighty islets, which are connected by nearly 400 bridges. Canals serve for streets in Venice and boats, called gondolas, for carriages. The bridges are, as a rule, very steep, rising considerably in the middle, but have easy 6teps. The circumference of the city is about eight miles. The Venetians joined the Lombard league against the Oer- 1 man emperor and in 1177 gained a great victory in defense of rope Alexander III. over the fleet of war vessels headed by Otto, son of Frederick Barbarossa. In gratitude for this victory the pope gave the Doge Ziani a ring and instituted the world j famous ceremony of "Venice Marrying the Adriatic Sea."

Antonio Stradivari, the f anion? J violin maker of Cremona, lived 1649-1737. He was the pupil of Nicholas Amati and carried the Cremona type of violin to its highest perfection. The Amati, Nicholas and his sons, Jerome and Antonio. rank neit to Stradivari if not with him. The Tyrolese makers, Jakob Stainer, 1621-83, and Matthias Klotz and his sons made violins that stand very high in the e?timation of connoisseuri. Villaume of Paris is the most celebrated modern maker.
