A woRp IN srAsos.-Ths Pee Dee I.dsr

A woRD IN SEAsos.-The Pee Dee Inder
quotes ~ follows from tho Cheraw Reporter:
We were pleased last week to see Captain
James o. Ladd, our former postmaster, in
town. Captain ,Ladd has been keeping
books for Chicago firm for the last year or
90. II Cheraw is to have . change Of post
master during the coming administration,
We feel confident that tho people Of Chersw
would prefer Captain Ladd to any one else.
Thereon the Inde1 says:
n We notice that not a word, cave IN a.
lusion 10 this Feasibility ofs change in the
uttsranee 81 ihs Reports, refers. to the ieffi-
'Slsut- gsntloman and good Dssocrst now
holding the Office. Without once consider
ing tho possibility and perhaps the probsbil-
ity Of the retention of efficient and non-par-
tisau Office holders In the South by Har-
rison, the editor begins to sing tho praises
OF Captain ]. y. Ladd, who for thirteen
years held Office under the Republicans.
Many thinkit highly probable that Harri-
sen win attempt to break the solid Dems.
cratic South by retaining the efficient Demo-
Gratis in Office, thus making these Offices q
prize to be sought, irrespective Of party.
II this is TO be his policy, it is undoubtedly
bad policy for us to suggest or inaugurato
the removal of our own men. In the case
IN question 1t does not appear that Ladd has
even so much 40 asked for the place. Ne
wants larger and sweetsr plum than that,
as shown by the filing Of his nomination for
United States Marshal for this State. 1t
may be we'll TO warn our Democratic friends
against signing any petitions for Republicans
to succeed Democrats. There are yet no
vacancies, and there may be none, unless
our people givo excuse for them by petition
praying for the appointment of Republicans
in place Of Democrats already in Office.
Our advice 10 TO 60 slow until We know what
10 to be the policy Of the osming administra.
or wkssher might is to rule right.
Whilst The Register does not think IL worth
while for any Democrat to encourage the
hope of retaining Office under Harrison, W,
yet heartily agree with the Inder that i
wears on its face On unseemly assiduity fol
Democrats to be bringing their advice to the
new administration IS to the filling Of tn,
places now held by good Democratic officials

The Snow Storm at the Seminary.

The snow was n most welcome visitor to
the pupils of Clifford Seminary. They
could not claim kinship with it, but they
were allowed, nevertheless, to receive it
with open arms. Ts those young Ladies
from the lower section Of the State such Q
snow was great novelty; but they; with
the others, were not slow in finding out the
pleasures of snow balling, and for an hour
or two the flescy missiles wsre flying through
the air, sometimes hitting, but efteuor miss
ing widely, the mark.
All seemed to enjoy the sport, excepting
one stately figure that became very con-
spieuous. She stood quiet in the midst Of
all tho excitement NO challenge from large
or small was accepted, and no shout Of Joy
could induce hsrte take hand in the fun.
She remained in quiet dignity, her shawl
folded closely around her, and her hat
firmly fixed on her head.
The irreverent small boy on the outside Of
the fence threw snow balls at her, but she
did not reply by word or ball. Some
thought she was very indiscreet to be out
in the snow in white dress. Elderly gem
tlemen, who have long since passed the q re
of such fun as throwing snow, we're glad 10
see one dignifsd young lady in the crowd
and lifted their hats in appreciation Of rare
excellency. Young men returning homie
from town smiled and bowed at hsr-ths
Principal was in the house, and 40 she did
not turn her head she certainly did not dis
approve Of it. But evidently she enjsyed

the campus, and the frst one out next morn.
ing-in the same place, and with the same
quiet dignity-and there sheis at the pres
ent writing, growing beautifully less, but
still there, for the sno,0 woman has not. yet
melted.
And SO mischief, friendly interest, and
appreciation and gallantory we're all lest, as
they 50 often are.
Tho ysung Ladies Of the Seminary are in
quandary. They would like to know
which one Of them the figure was taken to
be. 1t had large green eyes, e.. as:ss
