I find so much of goodness still;
In men whom men pronounce divine.
I find so much of sin and blot?
I hesitate to draw the line

The elevation of Judge George \V
Gage to the supreme court bench
meets with approval throughout

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.

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." ? London Cor. New

Th? Eleventh. j
Archbishop Usher was once washed
ashore from a wreck off the coast
of Ireland. Almost destitute of 1
clothing, he wandered to the house j
of a church dignitary and asked for <
shelter and aid of a brother clergy- j
man. <
"How many commandments are
there?" inquired the other, thinking
to detect an imposter.

am not the ignorant imposter you
take me for," replied the arch- ]
bishop. "There are eleven com- ]
mandments."
"No," was the sneeiing comment; j
"there are but ten commandments '
in my Bible. Tell me the eleventh (
and I will relieve you."
"There it is," said the archbishop; *
" 'a new commandment 1 give unto
you, that ye love one another.'" (

Partitions of Poland. i
There have been three partitions f
of Poland. 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.

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
