SERIOUS FIRE AT KERSHAW.
" 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.

LEVER RESOLUTION PASSED.

Washington, Feb. 28.?Congressman

message to the senate and house of
representatives recommending the
"Torrens Land Title Registration Sys?

"In view of the great benefits to

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."

So Docs Catarrh, Croup. Hay Fever
and Bronchitis.
"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?

contrast between the two systems.
