was one OF the Oldest citizens OF Coiumpla anu
was distinguished for his learning abilities, char
acter and public services. He WAS an eminent
lawyer, and had served his State with fidelity
both in the Legislature and in Congress. His life
was active useful and pure, and his death will be
lamented by q wide circle of friends in this and
other States.
BEHIND THE TIMEs.-A paragraph is going the
rounds of the press, stating that ARCHIBALD
TODD has been appointed mail agent on the Green
vile railroad, vice N. 4. SULLIVAN, declined" We
observed this item in tho Newberry Herald of last
week, credited to the Washington Star. Now, the
facts stated are literally true, but the occurrence
is about seventeen years old. Our respected and
lamented friend, Mr.. TODD, has been dead nearly
ten years, and the circumstances Of his appoint
ment to the position of mail agent were well nigh
forgotten until recalled by this paragraph. How
does 1t happen that such an item of news is now
set afioat {? 1t seems mystery 10 us, and we
would be glad to hear an explanation.
OUERY.-We would like to know why so many
boys, without any person to control them, are al
lowed'to disturb The public on almost every occa-
sion It does seem to us that there are more boys
in the town of Anderson, engaged in doing as
they please, than any two or three villages of Its
size within the range of our knowledge. We don't
blame the boys, for they will indulge in their
frolicksome ways SO long as they 60 unchecked.
But we respectfully submit that parents in this
community are neglecting an important part of
their education. which isthat they should know
their places and mot subject older persons to an
noyance A little more care and circumspection
as to the conduct of boys in public assemblages
would greatly rebound to the credit of parental
authority.
The CIRcus-The pictorial representations on
the. walls of various buildings around the public
square have already given the information to the
public that SrowE's great Southern circus will
give two exhibitions in this place on Saturday
next, 10th of March. We have never known n
circus that did not attract considerable crowd,
and ne may confidently predict that the perform
ances on Saturday will be numerously attended.
OF our knowledge, we cannot recommend this cs-
tablishment as being superior of its kind, but We
take pleasure in stating that the Barnwell Journal
and other coemporaries give it good recommen-
dation, and speak of it as quiet and orderly
troupe The bills promise en- attractive programme.
and large number of performers are placarded
for an appearance in the various acrobatic and
gymnastic feats.
THE New CoDE.-Everything relating to the
new practice will prove interesting to the legal
fraternity. Judges end lawyers are compelled to
begin anew their studies, md prepare themselves
for the inauguration of this practice. The Charles
ton Ne,rs prints the following extract from the
letter of q New York lawyer to member of the
bar in that city Z" am satisfied that you will find
that this code has anything but tendency to SIM
rlify the practice 1t was adopted in this State In
194S. yherc are now nearly one hundred volumes
of reports on nothing but technical points Of prao-
tce under this very system, and We ore still being
deluged with them at the rate of volume every
three months. This will give you some idea Of its
advantages" For the information of the public
| generally, and in reply to many inquiries, the
Columbia Guardian states that the new code has
received the signature Of the Governor and is now
law. The State printer will have the code pub
lished in pamphlet form in few dnys, for the
benefit of the legal profession and oil others in
terested. Price, one dollar
BucKwuEAr CAKEs.-Loyers Of good things al-
vays smack their lips at the bare mention Of
them. All good housewives, in search OF tempt
ing morsel to please pGter Gamtia', become skilled
in the art of making them. Children look with
longing eyes to the visions Of "buckwhea. cakes
and molasses " rising up before them, as they see
the necessary preparations going on over night
And in short, the luxury is esteemed highly in ev-
ery we'll regulated and we'll governed household.
Now, there is no recipe for making buckwheat
cakes 10 be introduced in this connection, but We
simply desire to acknowledge the receipt of sack
of buckwbeat -four from our kind and accommodin-
ting neghbor, Mr.. A. D. Towers, whose supply is
net quite exhausted. lie has marked down the

he is anxious to dispose of at the earliest possible
date. Nearly oil goods are offered at cost to cash
customers. Give him an immediate call, and we
will guarantee that you will not 60 away empty or
