Williamson SPRINGS.

This famous watering place has been at
disadvantage during the last several years,
owing to the fact that there was no public ho-
tel in the place, and that accommodations for
visitors we're quite limited. We are gratiied
to state that this want is now partially supplied,
and that persons from distance need entertain
no fears, if they desire to visit Williamson
for health or pleasure, on the score of comfor-
table accommodations Mr.. S. d. Deal has
recently erected conlmodious house for the
convenience of visitors, and can furnish twen-
ty-fve or thirty persons with good board at
reasonable prices. Wetrust his efforts may be
encouraged, and that Williamson will again
become the favorite resort of persons from the
low-country, suffering IN health or seeking a
pleasant retreat for the summer.

Robbery at Pendleton.

We learn that daring burglary was COM
mitted at Pendleton on Monday night last, by
which the store of Mr.. e. G. Evans was ferci-
BLY, entered and considerable amount of goods
stolen The burglars effected an entrance in
manner quite similar to the bold operation in
this town, just week previous, which proves
that the parties belong to the same gang or
that the robbers at Pendleton are wonderful
mitators. We incline 10 the first opinion, and
believe that vigflant eiSrts would yet secure
the burglars.
The robbery of 1kr. Evans store was charac-
terized by great haste, we understand, as many
of the goods taken from the store were aban-
doned by the thieves within short distance.
A case of shoes and small lot of dry goods
are among the missing articles, but it is diff
cult to ascertain the loss from miscellaneous
stock, especially as the store had been closed
for some weeks, being in the hands of an as
signee in bankruptcy.

The University Property.

The purchasers of this property met in the
Court House on Saturday afternoon, for the
purpose of receiving report from the COM
mittee previously appointed to devise the best
mode of organization, which committee re-
ported through Col. J. N. Brown, that they
had performed the duty assigned them, and
finding that the whole stock had not been
taken, which is required by the subscription
list as q precedent to organization, they did not
feel authorized to proceed any further, until
the amount is fully subscribed. The report OF
the committee was received as information,
and the committee was continued.
After ascertaining the amount not yet SUBJ
scribed, it was determined to re-appoint the
committee to procure subscriptions, with the
addition of several others to the committee,
who are charged with the duty of securing the
remainder of the stock The committee, as
now constituted, is composed of Messrs. W. w.
Humphreys, B. D. Dear, T. G. V. Borstel, S.
NJ. Pegg, J. B. Watson, ]. w. Daniels, N. K.
Sullivan, w. S. Sharpe and B. F. Crayton.
When these gentlemen report the amount fully
subscribed and paid over to the agent of the
stockholders, Mr.. j. A. Brock, the organization
will take place. Only eight hundred dollars
remain unpaid, and the subscriptions are re-
ceiyetl in shares Of $40. Persons wishing to
.nbscribe will amply to the committee.

0rr's Reqiment of Rifles.

The Abbeville Medium last week proposed a
reunion of the soldiers of this old regiment as
eminently proper and respectful, to take place
at Anderson when the remains of Judge Orr
shall arrive for interment, and suggested that
the soldiers of the various companies should
report 10 their Captains at once, and that the
Captains report to Col. G. McD. Miller at
Ninety Six, or to 1t. Col. J. Townes Robertson
at Abbeville, the number of men in their COM
panies who will attend the funeral Of their
late chief and comrade.
In flrtherance of this proposition, it was
stated that meeting would take place at Alb
beville on last Saturday, embracing all the
commissioned and non commissioned officers
it was POSSIBLE to assemble so early, when the
matter would be definitely agreed upon, and
Col. Miller would issue his orders. We have
not heard the result of this meeting, but pre-
sumo that arrangements were made to assem-
BILE the regiment on the sad occasion, and agree
with our cotemporary in expressing the hope
"that all parties concerned will lend ready
hand towards carrying out an affair which
would be pleasant to the veterans of the Lost
Cause, and merited tribute to the memory of
him who was great in war, wise in council and
skilled in diplomacy"
The suggestions of the Medium are already
acted upon by the commanders of Cos. "L.' ,
and 3D." Capts. James B. Moore and Robert
Junkin, who issue call through our columns
to the old members of their respective COM
panies, requesting the names of all who pro-
pose to be present at the funeral of Judge Orr.
The members of Co. "K." are requested to
report their names to Capt. George w. Cox at
Bolton Or Capt. Bigby at Honea Path. We
trust that every member of the old Regiment
will endeayor to extend the invitation.

Death of Judqe WardIaw.

Hon. David L.. Wardaw, of Abbeville, died
at his residence in that town on Sunday morn
ing last, after an illness of one week, from
apoplexy. Judge Wardlaw was known to most
of our readers, and was greatly esteemed
throughout the State for his exalted character
and distinguished services upon the bench.
His private character for uprightness and un-
sullied honor shone resplendent even in his
retirement from the burdens and responsible
ties of lengthy public career, and no man in
the State was more generally esteemed. His
death will be sincerely lamented by all who
knew and appreciated his public services and
private worth. We copy the annexed sketch
of his life from the Charleston News and
Courier:
"Judge David Louis Wardlaw was born in
Abbeville County, in 1899, and was at the time
of his death seventy-four years old. at an
early age he entered the South Carolina Col.
ege, where he graduated with distinguished
honors. After leaving college, he was admitted
to the bar, and in 1922 attained considerable
distinction in the case of Ramsay vs.. Marsh,
which arose under the will of Henry Laurens,
and in which the statute of uses and trusts was
first construed in this State. At that time ne
was copartner of the late Governor Noble.
In December, 1886, he was elected Speaker of
the House of Representatives, of which he had
been member for several years, and he con-
tinued to serve in this position, with distih-
guished ability, until December, 1s41, when he
was elected TO the bench, to succeed Judge
Johnson. His career on the bench ia we'll
known in every part of the State. 1t continued
for over quarter of a century, and was ever
marked by those ennobling traits of mind and
heart which tended so much to elevate and
dignity the judiciary of South Carolina in the
palmy days of her history. In speaking of one
of his opinions, an annotator to one of the late
editions of Chancellor Kent uses these words
"rhe opinion of Justice Wardlaw is singularly
learned and interesting; it is remarkable
example of historical and legal erudition.' He
was, in all the relations of life, man of un.
swerving integrity and elevated sentiment, and
by his death has been removed another one OF
those landmarks which bind us to all that is
good and glorious in the past history of our
State"

The LATE MINISTER ORR.-The arrange
ments for the reception of the remains OF the
late Minister Orr, by the municipal authorities
of New York and the Masonic fraternity, are
given as follows in the New York Herald of
the 9TH instant:
The Board of Assistant Aldermen met at two
o'clock, President Wade in the chair.
The Mayors communication relative to the
decease and expected arrival of the remains of
James L. Orr, Minister to Russia, was received.
The concurrent resolution from the Board
of Aldermen, providing for joint committee
of reception of the remains, was received and
concurred in. Assistant Aldermen Thornell,
Simonson, Kehoe, Brooks and Healy were ap-
pointed the committee. The Board then ad-
journed.
Subsequently the joint committee of the two
Boards met in the Clerks Office and proceeded
to make definite arrangements for the reception
of the remains of the late distinguished diplo-
mat. A committee representing the Masonic
bodies was also present, consisting of General
Major E. H. Kent. Alderman Kehr presided
The funeral and reception will be under the
auspices of the Knights Templars. The con-
ferring committees finally concluded that the
remains shall lie in state in the Governors
Room for period of twenty-four hours that
the facade, vestibule, rotunda and Governors
Room shall be draped in mourning; that the
flags on the public buildings shall be displayed
at half mast, and citizens generally are reques-
ted to similarly display the national flag while
the remains are within the municipality. 1t
was stated by the members of the Masonic
committee that the body is expected, per
steamship Thuringia, on Tuesday or Wednes
day next. Collector Arthur has placed at the
disposal of the Masonic body revenue cutter
for the reception of the remains from the
steamer. The casket will be landed at the
Battery, and will be escorted in procession to
the City Hall. While lying in state it will be
unremittingly guarded, or watched" by a
guard of Knights Templars and a subcommit-
tee consisting of Aldermen Kehr and Morris
and Assistant Aldermen Brooks and Smonson.
The remains will then be escorted through
Broadway and Fifth avenue to the Church of
the Disciples (Rev. DR.. George H. Hepworth,)
at Fourth avenue and Forty-ifth street, where
services will be held, at the conclusion of
which the procession will be reformed and
proceed via Fifth avenue and Fourteenth

The Funeral of Judae Orr.

We give elsewhere the particulars Of the
arrangements made in New York for the recep-
tion of Judge Orr's remains, which arrived in
that city on Tuesday last, per steamer Thnrin-
gia fson, Hamburg. & dispatch received yes
terdsy states that the funeral honors in New
Yerl: will take place on Friday, which will
delay its arrival here until Tuesday or Wednes-
day next.
The newspapers conflict in their statements
regarding the mode of transportation from
New York, and arrangements have been per-
fected in Charleston to receive the remains
in that city, while it is confidently stated that
the body will be sent by rail from New York.
Tho Masonic fraternity in Columbia will
unite in the demonstration of respect for the
deceased; guards of honor will be appointed
to watch over the remains during the brief stay
in thst city, and other measures will be adopted
to attest the high brotherly love entertained
for thu deceased.
The arrangements at Anderson will be under
the immediate supervision of the committee
appointed by the citizens of which the Hon.
J. P. Reed is chairman. Should it be ascer-
tanned that the remains will come by steamer
from New York, the committee will proceed to
Charleston for the purpose of escorting the
remains to this point. Otherwise, the commit
tee WILL meet the body in Columbia, or some
point beyond the limits of this State. Guards
of honor will be appointed from the citizens
and tie Masonic fraternity, and upon reaching
Anderson, the body will be carried to the late
residence of Judge Orr, there to remain over
night, and the next day will lie in state at the
most suitable place in the town. The funeral
will take place on the day following, and be-
sides the large concourse of citizens expected,
the Regiment of Rifles raised by the deceased
for the Confederate service will assemble, and
the Masons will likewise attend in large num-
bers, embracing the various Lodges in the sur
rounding country. The funeral service of the
Episcopal Church will be read by Rev. Ellison
Capers, of Greenyille, after which the Masonic
fraternity will take charge of the remains, and
deposit them in their last resting place in the
Presbyterian churchyard, with the impressive
honors of the craft

Another Congressional scandal and dis
grace is thus hinted at by the Washington cor
respondent the Cincinnati Commercial, which
says: "It is privately stated here that law
suit which has just been commenced in the
District Courts by the estate of the late cashier
of the First National Bank, against corpora
tion known here as the Metropolitan Paving
Company, will develop more food for scandal,
so far as public officials are concerned, than
did the Credit Mobilier suits instigated by
McComb. The story goes that any number of
Congressman, besides higher game, had con-
tracts from this concern and dealing with the
above bank in this connection, which will do
anything but add to their present regulations"

An adjourned meeting of the creditors of the
Blue Ridge Railroad, which is now in bank
ruptcy, was held in Columbia last week. The
question of electing an assignee, or administer

Odd Fellows Lodqe.

On Friday night last, number of Odd Eel
lows met in the Masonic Lodge Room for the
purpose of resuscitating Jocassee Lodge, No.
Is, /. O. o. F., which hourished in this town
before the war. The Right Worthy Grand
Master, Thomas Steen, Esq, of Columbia, was
present BY invitation of the brethren, and un-
der his direction the Lodge was revived under
the former charter, with the election of the
following officers
James A. Hoyt, Noble Grand.
r. F. Diver, Vice Grand.
Thos. J. Webb, Secretary.
John W. Daniels, Treasurer.
This institution was in prosperous eondi-
ton when the war began, and numbered among
its members many of our best citizens. At
the outbreak of hostilities, the principal Off
GERS and working members were called into
military service, and the Lodge went down.
The furniture and regaiia were stolen or de-
stroyed for the most part in the raid upon this
town on the 1st of May, 1865, by the Federal
troops, and the order has not been revived
until now, chiefly in consequence of the losses
incurred during the raid. Jocassee Lodge,
No. 1s, was chartered on the 18th of April,
1S49, and the five charter members are yet
alive to witness its resuseitation, after so many
years.
