Windfall for Wofl'ord.

SPARTANBURG, :. g., Jan. 20.-In-
formation has been conveyed TO the
proper authorities Of Wonord College of
the death 9f Mrs. John r.. Pickett Of
Chester. and that by this death this IN
stitutton receives the entire estate Of the
deceased, amounting to about $50 600.
Rev. John II. Pickett before his death
was the husband Of the lady named, and
having accumulated an extensive pro-
perty, it was his desire that WOflOrd
College, after the death OF his wife, be
given the advantages of said property.
The interest from the amount was at the
disposal OF Mrs. Pickett, but the lady
has seen fit " give 81 great part Of The
interest to the institution to which her
husband had given the principal. There
is also large library which Mr.. Pickett
willed to the college and this will be
brought to the college as soon as prac-
tlcable. Rev. John &. kilgo, the Enan-
clnl agent o. the college. will so at once
to Chester and take the matter in charge.
The receipt Of this money will give the
college an endowment ofaboul $l2G, 900.
There have bccu made promises by GER
tam wealthy Carolnians that when the
endowment reached 800, 600 substan-
tlal addition would be made. The COL
lc2c authorities hope for the fulillment
OF these promises. and when they are
fulfilled WotlOrd College will Lake even
greater rise than she has in the past

Another Railroad In Trouble.

1t seems that the Charleston, North
ern and Sumter Railroad is in trouble.
a receiver has been appointed for it
and it is likely that the road Will be
sold. In speaking of the trouble Of the
road to the Charleston correspondent
Of the Columbia State Mr.. &. S. Nettles,
who is attorney for the road, said:
when our management took charge
Of the road, they found it encountered
by Il large, floating debt, but they had
confidence in the property, and hoped
that when the line was completed to
Bennettsville the earnings would be
sufficient to pay it of. AS is well
known, however, the freight shipments
over all lines during the entire fall
were unusually light, and so our earn
| lngs were continually reduced, till they
reached very small amount, while our
taxes were double what they were last
year. This was naturally very dis
couraging 10 the owners of the road,
| but they nevertheless have recently had
under consideration plan by which
they expected to raise the necessary
funds to pay all claims of a pressing
nature. Some of the creditors, how
ever, were importuhate, and by press
ing their claims in the courts have
| forced the road into the hands of re-
| NSlfct' wv SIlll IlOpc LllttI tllcSS Lldt-
ters may be adjusted to the satisfaction
of all concerned. The temporary re-
ceiver appointed is Charles T.. kimball,
of New York, man in whose person
we harmoniZed the interests alike of
bondholders, stockholders and creditors
at large" Being asked what effect
this would have on the extension to
Charleston, Mr.. Nettles replied that the
g., S. & n. road has no connection with
the line from Holly Hill to Charleston,
and that the latter will be built at once,
under the charter Of the Charleston,
| Colleton and berkeley Railroad. I'm
fact" said he. 1.-The parties interested
are all ready to commence construction,
and will do so as soon a. the city au-
thorities here decide on an entrance
and 4 terminal point for the road"
