The insurance companies are to pay
$4,000 on the policies of Robt. Keith
Oargan, of Darlington, this week. This

everybody that Dargan is really dead.

|, is said new dispensary scandal will
likcly be developed from the recent pur-
chase of $4,000 worth of labels from
Cincinnati firm. 1t may take that many

Thomas w. Bacot, of Charleston, who
IS Democrat, will in all probability be
appointed to succeed Ernest +. Cochran,

Sor Tillman, that can find in the Bible
a dozen or two dozen texts recognizing
The use of liquor to whore you can find
ono that discourages it or denounces it,"
We doubt not also that Senator Till
man could find dozen mon in hell who
recognized the use of liquor to one who
denounced it. The proportion may be

Governor Hayward Monday night re-
ceived message from Sheriff Greeoh, of
Barnwell, asking for detail to guard a
prisoner. 1t appears that several days
ago negro went into the room of a
young lady and he was arrested to-day
'on the charge. 1t is thought that the
negro entered the house to steal, but
there was talk about lynching the negro
for entering the house of young lady,
and on that account the guard was asked
for.
President Roosevelt is still in the

of Walhalla, during time when his pa
tience was sorely tried by a neighbor,
and when he had reached that point
where forbearance had ceased to be a

Presidents mind throughout the peace
