I find so much of sin and blot? I hesitate to draw the line Between the two?where God has not." THURSDAY. JAN. 22. 1914. The elevation of Judge George \V Gage to the supreme court bench meets with approval throughout * 1 * 'n ! 1 ?~ ine coaie. 10 our muiu no ucuci raan could have l>een chosen to succeed Judge Woods than this noble. Christian gentleman. With such men on the bench the people feel that even-handed justice, as nearly as humanly possible, will be meted out, and that the interests of the weak as well as of the strong, are righteously safe-guarded. f A North Carolina farmer has conceived $he idea of starting an opossum farm, figuring that he can raise the toothsome marsupial at twenty-five cents a head and sell him at from seventy-five cents to one dollar. We sincerely hoDe that the experiment may be such a success as to lead many in this State to engage in 'possum farming or culture, or whatever you please to call it. Our experience is that when you want a 'possum or a partridge it is a matter of impossibility to buy one, and you are dependent either on your own skill or the prowess of "old dog Tray," or the good-will of your sportloving friends. At any rate, we believe, a fat 'possum of moderate size will always find a ready market here in Kingstree at seventyfive cents a head. Notice to 'Phone Subscribers.

Shun alcoholic mixtures and insist on SCOTT'S THEEBAW'S RUBY RING. Ho Thought a Great Deal More of ft Than He Did of Hia Queen. The greatest achievement of the late Sir Harry Prendergast, V. C.? who lived until his seventy-ninth year, came in 1885-6, when he annexed Burma, a country larger than France, to the British empire and dethroned the infamous King Theebaw. "It is beyond doubt that in one day King Theebaw caused seventy or eighty members of the royal household to be massacred," said Sir Harry once. "But then this was strictly in accordance with the traditions of his position." Sir Harry has himself described the surrender of Theebaw at Mandalay in the following words: "1 went to the Dalace with twenty ori -- r > thirty officers and an interpreter. King Theebaw sat on his throne under the awning of a veranda surrounded by his ministers and his wives and the queen mother. "There was no trace of fear or anger in his demeanor. He was perfectly cool and polite. 1 informed him that it would be necessary for him to embark for India. He suggested a delay of three months, which was refused, then three weeks and finally three days. At , length 1 took out my watch and said, 'I can give ycu ten minutes.'" King Theebaw then implored Sir Harry not to rob him of a precious ruby ring or his wife. But as the 1 general smiled in a mysterious way tfie king exclaimed. "Well, weli. take ray wife. hut. oh. groat commander, spare me my ring." From the officer of the steamer in which the king and his court were taken into exile Sir Harrv received a receipt for "one king, three queens, one prime minister, three councilors and so many maids of honor." ?

The first was in 1772, when Prussia took the palatinates of Malberg, Pomnria ana Warmia, t a part of Ctdm and a part of Great Poland. Austria took Red Russia, ^ > a o J _ or tiancia; a pan 01 roaoua, ouuuumir and Cracow, and Russia took White Russia, with all the part beyond the Dnieper. The second partition was in 1793, by which Prussia acquired the remainder of Great and a portion of Little Poland, and the Russian boundary was advanced to the center of Lithuania and Volhynia. In the third and final partition, in 1795, Austria had Cra- I cow, with the country between the Pilica and the Vistula. Prussia had I the capital, with the territory as far < as the Niemea, while the rest went j to Russia. Take your automobile to Brock- < ington & Marshall for repairs. ? Big Loss by Fire. Cheraw, January 21: ? Pegues Brothers, extensive planters in Marlboro county, a few miles from Cheraw, suffered a severe loss by fire last night. Their large cotton gin and machinery and warehouse, with 325 bales of cotton and all the seed ginned from it, were totally destroyed. There had been no fire near that day, and the blaze started in the seed, it is supposed, by spontaneous combustion. The loss is between $25,000 and $30,000, with practically no insurance. The dwelling of a colored merchant at Cheraw was also completely destroyed by fire last night. The negro had $2,000 insurance. This is thought to have been set on fire, as * * i ? / al . Kerosene was iouna on some 01 me outbuildings. Mrs D W Cunningham and little son of Darlington are visiting Mr and Mrs L C Dove.
