Indictment in the United States Dis

bOudsmen-amOng them the generous

+. Christy, a young man who was
the local agent of the Southern Ex-

The Friar's Point Delta says: cit
seldom fails to the lot of an individ-
ual to be Overtaken by a succession of
misfOrtunes such as have visited Gov.
Jamestown plantation within
the short period Of the last month. /
came the fire and swept away
at one fell swOop the magnificent gin
house and saW-mill with all their
machinery. And this destruc-
ton came within four days after his

over his loved and cherished domains, f.

.Oru arrived at Delta on Tuesday
morning and proceeded at once to his
plantation to look after things.
