SHEFFIELD is JUDGE,
THE SOLICITOR OF THE PATATTLA
CIRCUIT PROMOTED.
He Succeeds Judge Griggs on the Bench,
Colonel John Irwin Appointed to
the SolicitOrship.

the SOl1citOrship.
Judge Griggs has carried out his ins
tention, announced some time ago. of
resigning from the superior court bench
His resignation was mailed to the GOV.
ernor on the 31st day of December. It
was received at the executive depart
ment on January LIST, and within an hour
afterwards the vacancy had been filled.
solicitor General Henry Sheffield, who
was the only applicant for the judgeship,
was in Atlanta when Judge Griggs'
resignation reached there, and he was at
once appointed to the vacancy. He i'm
mediately resigned the solcitorship, and
few minutes afterwards that position
was filled by the appointment of Colonel
John R. Irwin of FIT. Gaines, who was
also on the ground. Colonel Irwin
was opposed by Colonel M. c. Edwards
of Dawson, one of the ablest young
attorneys in the state, and it was dis
appointment to the latter's friends
that the governor did not see fit
to call him to the states service.
Judge Sheffield and Solitor IRWIN are
both we'll known and popular throughout
this section, and will give satisfaction to
the people of the circuit Judge Sheffield
will be initiated in the duties of his new
position next week, when he will preside
over an adjourned term of Terrell supe>
rior court.
Judge Griggs' career on the bench
has been remarkably brilliant one, and
he puts aside the judicial mantle
with the full confidence and esteem of
every one.
His retirement leaves Dawson without
either the judge or solicitor as resident.
For many years this city has been the
home of one-and often both-of these
officials.

Explosion of an Aerolite.

MADRID, Feb. 10.-An aeroite burst
over the city of Madrid this morning
causing great Consideration among the
Inhabitants. The first warning CT the
explosion was fash which illuminated
the sky. which was almost immedi Il
followed by tremendous report, l.
vibrations from which shattered bun-
dreds Of windows. The aerolite was
accompanied by great white cloud and
simultaneous with the explosion there
was a trembling of the earth resem-
bling the sensation produced by an
earthquake When the fash and ensu-
ing report took place, the people rush
ed panic stricken into the streets and
some minutes elapsed before the excite
men was allayed. 1t is estimated that
the meteoric body was 90 miles above
the earth when it burst.
The people in the suburbs of Madrid
were also panic stricken by the explo-
sion. The operatives iu the factories,
the children in the schools and the en-
ployes and others in the markets rushed
into the streets in wild stampede be-
lievipg that the world was about to be
destroyed. Many persons were injured
in the aimless rushes by running into
each other or by being thrown down
aud trampled upon.
The shock Of the explosion was so
great in the city that it caused the col
lapse Of one house aud threw down a
partition wall in the house occupied by
the American legation. The shock was
strongly felt in Guadalajara, the pro-
vince bounding the province Of Madrid
on the northeast, and in other places.
Among the superstitious the visit Of
the aerolite is believed to have been a
direct portent.

w Wedgefeld Letter.
Wedge6eld, s. c., Feb. II, 1896.

Wedge6eld, s. c., Feb. IL, 1895.
1t will be remembered by readers Of THE
Item that about nine months ago some one
entered Mr.. G. P. Hartsoe's room while be
was asleep, and among other things took his
watch. Nothing whatever had been seen or
heard that would lead towards the recovery
of same until few days ago while Mr..
Hartsoe, who is section master at this place,
was having some work done at the Camden
Crossing, when a jeweler of Sumter showed
a watch and offered same for sale. Nr.
Hartsoe Immediately recognized the watch
and identified it as being the one he lost as
above stated He described the inner works
aud told the number, which was found to be
right. The jsweler, however, failed to give
it up, saying he bad bought same from
negro and bad done some repairs on it. The
mex, day Mr.. Hartsoe went to Sumter, aud
as the jeweler and himself still failing to set
tie the matter between themselves, went to
Trial Justice Wells and got out claim and
delivery papers, BY which be recovered his
watch. The matter will come up in Judge
Wells court soon, when it will be decided
by law whose watch it is. Mr.. Hartsoe is
quite certain that it is his property, and has
no doubt about its being so decided.

you wrote few days ago on the question: Of

Farmers have done more work than we
ever knew, up to this time. About all the
lands everywhere seem to be taken up, and
the way guano is being hauled from this
depot it looks like an enormous crop Of cot
ton will be planted this year. We trust our
farmers, no matter how much cotton they
pians, will not fail TO put in enough proyis-
ions to make that crop sure.
The writer, in conversation with Maj.
Woodward, of Winnsboro, few days ago,
was told by him that be was then feeding his
hogs and other stock on potatoes three years
old. He said that if potatoes were thorough
ly dried they would keep almost indefinitely.
He also said that be ground them up and re-
garded them as first class feed for stock as
we'll az men. What lesson to be learned
here. How many Of our farmers make
enough potatoes to do his family till March of
the next year aud it is the easiest perhaps
of all crops made, particularly on poor land.
