 AN hour afterwards was sitting at the bed side of my dying mother, She was dying slowly and peacefully dying, and this was the end of her waiting. He had returned at last, this husband for whose coming sue had watched 30 long. He had returned at last, after all his labor, and had been laid at her feet a dead man. She was free togo and join her love. To me, child as 1 was this was sorely cruel Death as l know now is very merciful even when he seems most merciless but as 1 sat and watched the dear life slowly drift away from mo, it was a hard matter to understand
 My fathers body lay in the room below with Uncle Loreday and Mrs. Busvargus for watchers Now and again my uncle would steal softly upstairs, and as softly return with hopelessness on his face. The clock down. stairs gave the only sound I heard, as it marked the footsteps of the dark angel coming nearer and nearer. Twice my mothers tips parted as if to speak; though l bent down 10 catch her words, I could hear no sound. Uncle Loveday stole into the room on tiptoe, and looked at her; then turned and asked:
 Has she spoken yet?" "No."
 He was about to leave when the lips parted again, and this time she spoke;
 "He is coming, coming. Hush that is his tep"
 The dark eyes are ablaze with expectation he cheek aglow with hope.

4 pITCKY WOMAN,

The last issue of the Aiken Recorder
contains the announcement by Mrs. e. r.
r. Drayton, widow Of Col. Drayton,
whose death we recorded last week, that
she has assumed the management OF that
paper. In her modest announcement to
this effect she says with true womanly
impulse.
With this issue of the Recorder we as
sumo the management of this paper.
With Gods blessing and kind counsel, we
hope to make the Recorder still a good and
interesting paper. We are more than
grateful for words and acts of kindness,
which friends, from far and near, have
spoken and done. Remember dear friends
that a woman is now trying with Gods
help and guidance, to fill the place OF faith
er and mother to her young family.
Mrs. Drayton furnishes, we believe, the
first instance in this State of a woman as
the manager of a political newspaper, but
with the brave heart and noble purposes
as enunciated in her announcement, she
will have the hearty "God speed" of the
State press.

The "Lisbon Farmers Club" OF. Lau'
rens county, held a meeting a few days
ago, which partook somewhat of the nat
ure of a wake over the collapse of the Till
man movement. While much was said
laudatory of Tillman and his schemes, res
o~lutions were also adopted denunciatory
of the State government generally, and es'
pecially stigmatizing Governor Richard.
son as "neither a safe nor reliable officer
The resolutions appeared quite formidable
in print, but much of their terror is re-
moved by the Laurens Advertiser, which
says:
"It is with much pleasure the Advertiser
can say, so far as our belief goes, the resolu'
ton of the Lisbon Farmers Club. which
denounces the present Governor of South
Carolina as neither a safe nor reliable ofti'
cer," expresses the sentiment of an lnhn,
itesimally small number of the citizens Of
Laurens county. We are far from bellev'
ing any such sentiment exists in the minds
of the mass of voters of this county"

being robbed, and he is now behind the
prison bars. The police have secured a
full confession from him. 1t confirms be-
yond a doubt the statement that the MUIR
derer is young William B. Tascott, a son
of Col. J.. B. Tascott, a wealthy manufac-
tarer. He and Tascott went to the house
together. Tascott went inside leaving his
comrade on the sidewalk. After the muir
der was committed Tascott hurried out,
grasped his companion by the arm and
together they went to Tascott's lodgings
on West Madison street, where they, re-
manned several hours. Tascott told him
all, and the other was so HORNED n so
afraid that he would be charged with the
murder itself, that he RETAINED from CIV
ing information to the police. He made
a sworn statement and satisfied the police
that he was telling the truth. The police
refused to reveal the name of the prisoner.

On Wednesday the Blair educational
bill passed the United States Senate by
vote of 80 yeas to q nays. The South Car
olina Senators are divided in their views
of the measure, Hampton voting for it and
Butler against it. At this stage of the
bill a brief review of its provisions will
be of interest. 1t appropriates annually

~"eXpended to secure the benefit OF COM
mon school education to all children of

ton to be made according to the ensus of

ceive thu money under the Act until its

ring the preceding school year for the sup
port of common Schools the number of
white and colored children between the
ages of 10 and 81; the number of schools
in operation, average attendance Of schol-
ars, &c. No amount is to be paid to any
State OF territory in any year greater than
the amount expended out of its W rev.
enues in the preceding year for the main
tenance of common schools. No part OF
the fund is to be used for the erection or
rent of school buildings, but an addition

ever, to include the postotlice, which with a
part of tho mail matter undclivered, was also
destroyed: =,
The fire originated in the store of DR.. A. +.

rand Roadway that all efforts were futile 10

impossible to e~Xtinguish the fire, the work o.
carving out good and piling them in the stree1
was commenced by the people. In less time
almost than it takes to tell it,, five stores ano
one dwelling were enveloped in flames. The
losses. as near as can be ascertained, are about
as follows: B. T.. Turner Il Bro, on building

RI,aINE'S LETTER IN MAINE.

Blaine's recent letter %ostensibly decli-
ming the Presidential nomination makes
a sore spot in Maine politics. An Angus
ia letter says: 1t is understood that Mr..
Blaine, while he does not mean to be put
into the Presidential race, does intend to
return without delay to political life. 1t
is not thought by any of his friends that
he desires to return to the House of Rep
resentatives if he did, no doubt MI. Mil
liken, one of his most devoted followers,
would gladly give up in his favor. But it
is believed that Mr.. Blaine prefers the
Senate, and that is not a pleasant prospect
for Mr.. Frye, whose term expires with this
Congress, and who would like another
term, or for Mr.. Read, who would like to
be Mr.. Frye's successor. Mr.. Blaine's
Senatorial aspirations would, in this view,
cast a certain gloom over Maine politics
next fall and winter, unless, indeed, Sena-
tor Hale, as has been suggested, should re-
sign and let Mr.. Blaine be appointed to fill
his term, which runs to 1893. Those who
suggest this say that Mr.. Hale was intro
duced into political life by Mr.. Blaine and
thatit was through Mr.. Blaine's long con-
tinued, kind and almost fatherly fostering
care while he was Speaker, that Mr.. Hale,
without conspicuous ability of any kind,
obtained a political and social prominence
which finally landed him in the Senate.
