An Arctic Scene.

One Of the prettlcst things of the
kind we have ever seen, was at the de-
pot during the recent cold spell. As is
known, the water tank there is filled
by pipes leading from the public spring,
and when the water reaches a certain
height in the tank, q spout lets it off.
The wind during the recent cold wealth
err was so high as to blow this stream
from the tank into spray against a neigh
boring fence, and other instructions,
forming pyramid after pyramid of the
whitest ice we have ever seen. It was
as white and az pure as "the driven
snow" and reminded one Of the illus
trations given by Arctic cxnlorers of
the scenes in those regions. 1t was in
iced a miniature Arctic scene, and we'll
repaid a visit there during the cold to
sec it..

THIRD GRADE.
Assignment.

On Tuesday, the 18th. the town wal
very much surprised at the sudden sus-
pension of the mercantile business firm
of Quarles and Thomas. AS 1901 as it
became known local creditors put in
their claims and were being paid off I'M
til this was stopped, and it was under
stood an assignment would he made. In
the meantime Mcssrs Seal & Cason
sued out On attachment for the rent due
them on the store occupied by said firm,
and Mr.. j. s. Hammond attached for a
debt due him. The interest in the firm
at fhis time was high. Later in the day
the firm made an assignment to Mr.. A.
W. Smith for the benefit of their cred
itors. 1t is understood that the affairs
Of the firm are in excellent condition.
They have good assets to the amount
Of $4,000 and their liabilities do not
exceed $500. The trouble is said to
have grown out Of a personal misunder-
standing between the gentlemen COM
posing the firm.

Death Of Judge VIM. Hill.

This aged and esteemed gentleman
died at his home near this town, ut four
O'Clock, P. M, on Thursday 10th instant.
He vas born 10th May 1906.
MI Hill came to this country from
Couuty Antrim, Ireland, when he was
%seveateen years old, landing in Charles
ton in 1922. Sixty-two years ago he
kept = store near where Mr.. L. II. Cor
don now lives, and the house is still
standing in which he did business.
He always commanded tho conf
dencc aud respect Of his ncighbors, and
properly had much influence among
them The public too had faith in his
character and integrity, add in 1852 he
was elected Ordinary, then a most i'm
portant and responsible as we'll as hon
orable Office. The records thereof are
. standing evidence of the fidelity and
ability with which he discharged his
trusts. He held this Office until 1858,
when under the new regime, after recon
struction. the Office of Ordinary was
abolished and that of Judge Of Probate
was substituted. Mr.. Hill was elected
to it and filled it till the usurpetion of
the Radical voters put him out. Alto
gcther his term Of service in the two
Offices extended over q period of more
than twenty years. Surely there could
be NJ stronger evidence Of the contin-
uing and abiding faith Of the public in
him. He served AS a volunteer in the
Seminole war in Florida "a Orderly
Sergeant, of Captain Thos. Psrker's COM
pany from this county.
He was married to Miss Anna Hamil-
ton Donald, daughter Of Major John
Donald, OF Donaldsville-she died
about twenty-five years ago. They had
ten children, six boys and four girls.
Two Of the former and three of the lat
ter survive him.
OF late years he has lead a life OF
quiet and retirement. But at each term
Of the Court it has been his wont to ap-
pear In the court DON and listen to the
court proceedings. By common consent
" seats near the clearks desk were al
ways reserved for him and his vcnera-
BILE compeer. Mr.. r. H. Wardlaw. We
shall miss his dignitiod presence.
Judge Hill was a we'll read man, and
PosSessed Of much information. We
have listened with pleasure to his reci-
tation Of Scotch poetry, especially of
Burns, of which he was very fond.
He was q member Of Upper Long
Cane Church for thirty years, and was
buried at that place on Saturday.
He was in his eighty-frst year. A
good mar has filed his allotted life
has passed his three score years and ten,
and full Of honors, and followed by the
respect aud esteem, and the regrets of all
who knew Him, has gone to receive the
Tewprd Of his useful, virtuous and no.
BILE life.
