" 1 v? Part of the CU Mill Btimed, With Loss of $25,000. Lancaster, Feb. 27.?A serious Are occurred this afternoon in the town of Kershaw, the Unter and separator rooms of the Kershaw Oil Mill being burned. The origin of the fire is not known here. The loss is estimated at $25,000, which is covered by insur? ance. The Name of Davis. Some forty ?odd years since the name of Jefferson Davis was erased from a government bridge near Wash? ington, and has now been restored. Mr. Davis was secretary of war ol the United States when his name was Inscribed on the structure, and that is why is was put on. He was presi? dent of the Confederate States when his name was erased,*and that is why it was erased.* The erasure of the name was a piece of spite and the putting of it back an act of simple justice; and, yet, but still another acknowl? edgement of the fact that the war is over. The man did the work, which in its day was the most wonderful work of Its kind in the world, and to this hour supplies the city of Washington with water, and the work itself Is his monument. Mr. Davis did another remarkable thing for the old United States. He really won the crucial battle of the Mexican war, and thus opened up the Pacific slope and all that vast region lying between it and the Rockies. At Buena Vista, Santa Anna made his last stand, and made it with consummate military. skill. While his centre kept the American c? ntre busily employed, he hurled up on Gen. Taylor's Hank a strong body of lancers, at that time one of the most formidable cavalry forces known to the art of war. With pen? nons fluttering and lance-point at the charge, this magnificent body of horsemen came down en echelon, one squadron supplementing another, just as the gleaher follows the reaper so as to cut the field clean. The ex? treme Hank reginttrnt of the American line broke, with the exception of one company whose captin held It to its work. This slight stand stayed the lancers for a moment and gave Mr. Davis, then Colonel of the Mississippi rille regiment, time to throw his com? mand into the breach. But his men had no bayonets, being armed only with a short weapon called a yager. Seeing the disadvantage, he threw his line Into the famous V formation, a manoeuvre, still commemorated in every work in every language on tac? tic. The V opened toward the lancers and they had to ride Into the gap or abandon the charge. They were brave fellows, the best blood of their country, and they rode in. Then the yager, a deadly weapon at close quar? ters, spoke, and that was the end of the lancers. Relieved of the fatal pressure on his Hank, QOV, Taylor pressed forward his centre and tho battle was won. The name and the fame of a really great man are beyond the reach of the chisel. -Augusta Chronicle. Just received a car of harness norses, nice single ami double drivers. Where?

It Will Supply Cotton Growers With Valuable Information. Washington, Feb. 28.?Congressman ; Lever's joint resolution providing for 1 the collecting and publishing of addi? tional statistics concerning the 1 amount of baled cotton on hand at ' given periods has been passed by the senate, and has now gone to the pres Tlie Torrens System of Land Title Registration. The late Governor William E. Rus? sell of Massachusetts. In his special message to the senate and house of representatives recommending the "Torrens Land Title Registration Sys? tem," says: "In view of the great benefits to be realized by the adoption of this measure, I believe it is the longest step to that freedom, security and cheapness of land transfers which is ident for his" signature. This resolu tlon means as much to the farmer of conceded to be so desirable in the in the South as any legislation recently terest of the people. enacted since it supplies him with the amount Of baled cotton being held In the various mills of the country just as the buyers now obtain the amount of the crop being raised. It gives the farmer an equal amount of 'information, with reference to the de? mand; that the buyer now has with respect to the supply. Speaking of the resolution, Mr. Lever said: I "This resolution will eliminate to some extent the feature of speulatlon ! and gambling in cotton, in my judg J ment, and will give to both parties, the buyer and the seller, a square deal at the hands of the government, as far as the statistics for cotton go than he has ever had, and this is the entire extent of my resolution."

"The need of some new system of land transfers is shown by the ever Increasing discontent and dissatisfac? tion caused by delays and expense at? tending our present methods, which Is by no means perfect. The delay and expense attending It form a serious tax upon purchasers and mortgagors of land and bears with especial weight upon owners of small estates. Under our practice a new examination ot the title is usually made upon each sale or mortgage of a piece of land, in spite o fthe fact that sufficient ex? aminations may have been made la former transactions. "These repeated re-examinationa, generally needless, not only cause useless expense, but delays which often involve a serious loss. "Under the Torrens system an offi? cial examination is substituted for an un-officlal one, and the result when once sufficiently ascertained is given conclusive effect in favor of the own? er, and his title is made perfect against all the world. A marked contrast between the two systems. Then again a title is examined once for all and there Is no need for re~ examinatlon, as all subsequent acta and proceedings must be brought to the registrar to be noted on the ofll Hyomel is a confidence creator.
