Darlington Nc,cs The gin house of Mr..
Abel A. Candy, near Doves Depot, was
destroyed by fire on Thursday last
Loss about $1,000; no insurance. Tho
fire is thought to have originated from a
match in the cotton room being ignited
by the gin. On Tuesday morning last
difficulty occurred between two ne
groes, Samuel Ketter and Albert Cara
way, residing on the plantation Of Mr.. 0.
Smith, in which Caraway shot ketter,
inflicting q painful wound.....It was
hoped that the Probate Judge, whose alb

return and render a good account OF him
self, but that hope has vanished. The
occurrence is, to say the least of it, an
unfortunate one The office is said to be
at least 81 800 short, though the bond Is
perfectly good. There may be facts con-
nected with this matter which are wrap
ped in darkness, but will yet como to
light.
Newberry Herald. The County Audi
tor and the Treasurer inform us that
there are only one or two small pieces of
real estate in the county upon which the
taxes have not been paid. They expect
all taxes and penalties to be paid by Fob
ruary, the time for selling delinquent
lands so that we will have no delinquent
lands in the county. There is now no
forfeited lands on their lists, and taxes
are now paid on every foot Of land in
the county, except that belonging to the
county, which is exempt by law. How
many other counties can make as good
a showing?"
