WEDNESDAY. APRIL 15, 1896. The Palmetto Regiment. We have procured frora Cel. B'.andibg some statistics of the Palmetto Regiment and of? Campacy A (Sumter Company) which were used in bis lecture to clases in the Graded School ; feeling ussured that they will be of interest to the people cf South Carolina, and particularly so to Sumter county. From these they can readily tell why ibe Palmetto Regiment was so highly honored in thc re? ports cf all the officers, from General Scott down to General Shieds, their leader 00 the field ofCburubusco; and thut South Caro? linians should have honored them for sus? taining the reputation for gallantry and dar? ing of our forefathers, duriug tho ^Rebellion" of the Colonies against Great Britain. And it can hardly be gainsaid that the reputation of that Regiment wss a great incentive to valor and indomitable courage which South Carolina boys exhibited on the hundred battlefields, wberethey were engaged in ?lThe Rebellion" of the Confederate States against the United States. Ic 1861 the survivors of the Palmetto Reg? iment were doubtless reduced to a mere squad of grey-headed Veterans and, perhaps, age, which had stiffened the joints, had naturally dimmed the fire which blazed on foreign fields; but it would be interesting to know wnat number of the few then living gave to the State the experience acquired aeaiost a foreign*foe, to ber service in resisting a dometic enemy. We would be gratified if Cai. Bianding could give some information on this subject. We give the' statistics which he says are very nearly, though perhaps not exactly, correct. Palmetto Regiment composed of ll com? panies, one from each of the Districts, of Sumter, Capt. Sumter; Kershaw, Capt. Moffatt; Lancaster, Capt. Secrest ; Chester, Capt. Docovant ; Fairfield, Capt.

LAMAS, April 13. - At n>ne o'clock last night the alarm of fire was heard on every side. It was at once'seen that the barn and stables cf Dr. J A. Cole were on firs and i were in a few moments in ashes. The barn ! was a large wooden building fil leo. with dry forage which burned very rapidly. There was also consumed about 300 bushels of corn. 50 bushel? of peas, a lot of cotton seed, etc. The building and contents were insured for | $500. which will oniy partly cover the loss. The origin of the fire is thought to have been incendiary. B. G. ?. Free Pills. Send your address to H. E. Budden & Co.. Chicago, and get a freo sample box of Dr. King's New Life Pills.

The cheapest place in Missouri to live is at the penitentiary. The daily cost of maintaining convicts at that institu? tion is only 7-^- oents per capita.

The clerk placed : the register before him, and bandea ' him a pen "What's that for?" in-j quired the would-be guest. "Sign j your name, please," was the reply. | "I've got a lady with me It's my ? wife-we've just, got married," was the ; faltering remark cf tho visitor "Then j write both your names on the register," ; was the advice given An inspection a I moment iater reve?ned the following ; entry; "Miss Jennie & me."

"Yes," promptly replied Johnnie, "several ; but if you want to j see them, I'll ha.ve to take off some , of my clothes." Getting his Money's Worth. ! A recent novelty is a pocket cash j register by which ons is enabled to "keep tabs'' cn his daily expsndituros. j Among those who have invested in the | registers is a well-known young Phil- : adelphian, methodical as well as cc- : casiona?y convivial in his habits. An j evening or two ago he started out for a little "round-up" with several of his! friends, first providiug himself with : ?10 with which to "pay the freight." i During the evening the pocket cash j register clicked merrily and steadily, and along toward midnight the young I Philadelphian had reached a condition which teetotalers never attain A couple of his companions concluded to have some fun with him, and quietly j gaining possession of the cash register, j they wound the hands around until the j machine showed that ^17.50 had been i expended. The jokers slipped the j QOQfivaQ?e back iojo the owner's pock- j et, and awaited developments. in a few minutes the young Phila? delphia!! deposited himself in a chair j over in one corner of the cafe, and ! mechanically pulled out his cash reg-1 ister. He looked at it long and earnest- ' ly, and then fumbled a minute or two ! with bis money. Starting to his feet be exclaimed : "Shay, fellers, 'oughter get onc-'er z'eshe mi'shines.
