Not Unexpected.
The cbauge of plans of the
Rutledge county promoters in abandoning
I'ee Dee and Hanna town*
ships in Florence county was not
unexpected here. To any one at
all in touch with the situation it
has been evident for some time
that the Florence townships were
hopelessly antagonistic to going
into
the proposed new county.
Now the most serious obstacle
that confronts the new county
advocates is the raising of the
money by the people of Lake
City to build the court house and
jaiL It may be, however, that
that part of programme has been
abandoned too. or, as our friend
of the Florence Times suggests
with regard to Pee Dee aud Hanna
townships, the offer to put up
these buildings may have been in.
tended to throw dust in the eyes
of the people of Kingatree.
The Honorable Joshua , T Ash'ley,
member of the General As-:
aembly from Anderson county,
*" who ia probably the best adver'
tiaed man for his chances who
has broken into the Legislature
since the war, has couie under
'the, limelight recently ou a charge
-of peonage. Hon Ashley was tried
-in the United States court held
Greenville last week aud the
.jury after deliberating from Saturday
afternoon until Monday
morning failed to agree, it being
rumored that they tstood 10 to 2
for conviction. '-Citizen Josh"
^ Ashley, as he is known to fame,
has represented Anderson county
? in the Legislature off and ou since
the '90'u, being a sort of by product
of the lieform movement. He
is reported to be worth considerable
property.
The editor sat in his hf-rd bottom
chair, trying to think ot a
thought, and he ploughed all his
finger a about his hair, but not a
topic they brought. N He'd written
on temperance, tariff " and trade,
and the prospects of rai^mg a
crop, aud joked about ice cream
and weak lemonade, till his read*
ers had warned him to stop. And,
weary of thinking, sleep cauie to
his eyes, as he pillowed his head
on hiM desk, when the thoughts
while awake had refused to arise,1
came in drops that were strange
and grotesque. And as the ideas
airily float, he selected the bright
one of the tiibe, and this is the
gem. while dreaming, he wrote:
<4Now is the time to subscribe."

One of the words in everyday
use most frequently misspelled is
"chaperon". [a newspapers, magazines
and ever, society novels the
word ia so often spelled incorreetlf
that the correct orthographyis
almost lost sight of. We have
consulted a half dozen authorities
and there seems to be but one
correct form, viz, c-hap-e-r-o-n.
The superfluous "ev may be ac
counted for by the derivation
the word from the French chaperan
nr.

are so indistinct that i^is
often difficult to distinguish be.

Mr D S McKenzie, a Confed- ^
erate veteran, died on Monday, a
April 19, at the home of his son, ^
Mr Julius McKenzie iuthe Heb- j
ron section, Mr McKenzie has f(
long been a sufferer from that a
dread disease, dropsy, and 0j
while his death was not unexpected,
it came as a se/ere
shock to his many friends and \
few comrades who have Dot already
crossed over the river. f(
He was a member of Maj D
Land's command in the 26th "
regiment of South Carolina vol- J
unteers in the late war. He was
too young to join the army when

tne war oroae out, qui 111 xovo ran
away from home and vjoined
the army. He
served through the remain- ir
der of the war and surrendered u
v(
with Lee at Appomattox court _
house in April, 1865.
Mr McKenzie's death was preceded
only about three weeks by the
death of his wife. He leaves 4
only one son, Mr Julius McKen- w
zie, to mourn his death. a
a
Mr McKenzie was about 62
yeare old. The body was laid
to rest in the old McKenzie E

large concourse of friends and
relatives being present, bearing silent
witness to the esteem in
which he was held. t:

nearly as good as maple sugar. It 5
not only heals irritation and allays ?
inflammation, thereby stopping the d
