The new administration for the city Charleston took charge of the city govei ment last Monday. Senator DesChamps is on record as h ing voted against free passes for public ficials.

U he Offer to Sell Swamp Lands to I Highest Bidder Only a Farcet There is something in connectien w the swamp land sales in this place - week that we think needs an explanatil If what we can gather is true. The 1! aes in St. James township sold to J. lcey was bid off at fifty cents per a( making the aggregate $954.50, and it said that after the sale Col. Gibb agent for the State sinking fs commission, reduced the bid to s onteen cents per acre or $324.53 the tract, making a difference of $529.971 than the actual bid. A gentleman v Swas present at the sale and who was p haming swamp lands, bid as high as thir I've cents per acre and would have pro Sbly bid more, but when it reached fi cents pr acre he stopped biddmng. 1 did Co."'Gibbes reduce the bid to 3 SLacey to seventeen cents per acre wheni State could have'obtained at least thirty-f cents and probably more?

This is the only year within n knowledge that such an extension has be< neenasary, but while I never intended veto the resolution the fact that there 'w not enough money in the State treasury meet the January interest on the publ debt and current expenses caused me withhold my signature and thereby for all who were really able to pay their tax to do so.

THE it MAssisG TiEs:-On April 22, 1890, we were one of the guests at an entertainment e. given by our old friends, Mr. and Mrs. R. d R. Hudgins, it being the 50th anniversary s- of their marriage. The occasion was great ly enjoyed by all present, and the whole town of Foreston was present, which added to their pleasure. On thle following April, 1891, we were :Y called upon to attend the funeral of the 0, good lady, who had left this earth for a 3e brighter one above. It was a heavy stroke to the husband left, but as a true Christian D- he faces the storm, and goes to work to do all he can to the memory of the one who t ad faced the storm with him for fifty-one Idyears. Ld He had a brick vault built in the cen ts etery here, cemented, making it waterproof, and then placing the mortal remains of his es loved one in a beautiful casket it was placed in the vault, arched over, and then cement er ed so that air and water can never reach it. a T stood by and saw the last finishing touch n, done. Mr. W. P. Smith, of Sumter, has just id erected over this grave a beautiful white marble monument. The base is 31 feet square, sub-base has the family name in > larae letters; then comes the second sub be base; and on that ashaftl8 x 18 in. square, St three feet high, with shields on four sides for inscriptions. On one side is now in s, scribed: OLIVE, wife of is R. R. HUDGINS. y- Born in at Momr TzrENos, MAZE, m May 15, 1815. DIED April 13, 1891. er On the shaft is a heavy cap, and on it a smali sub-cap, and on it an urn sitting in a -a basket, one side heavily draped, covering is one handle; on the other is a beautiful ),- wreath of roses, hanging under the handle. u. The top represents a flaming torch. It is one that would do credit to a cemetery of greater pretensions. The total height of st the monument is 10k feet. He has also st placed a marble cradlecon the grave. In order to give his friends the least pos ge sible trouble when he is called from earth, rs Mr. HudgiLs has had built a vault by the be side of his loved one, and in the same man us ner. He also placed a box of cement in it, r- so that.when his friends are called on to of perform the last rites they can perform on a- earth, he says he wants to give them as lit s- tle trouble as possible. The monument stands at the head and centre of the two e- graves in a lot 20 x 20 feet. d The citizens have formed a cemetery as d sociation, and are now working on the , grounds, taking everything out and off that e will make a sprout, and will then lay it off in lots 20 x 20 feet. There will be 72 lots, and unless there is an increase in the death s' rate, it will be many years before it is filled d up. In a white population of 150 there has only been six deaths in the same number of years, and three of them were old per X- sons, and the other three children. S. There is a mound in the centre of the - cemetery, said to be an Indian burial place. ie Arrow heads and bones have been dug up ie in it. The trustees propose to dedicate a It lot to the memory 'of the Indians, and if re possible to ascertain what tribe lived here, - and erect a suitable slab to their memory. )L. a e ONIG IEN3OY e Bo0th the method and results when Syrup'of Figs is taken; it is pleasnt Sand refreshing to the taste, and acts gently yet promptly on the Kidneys, t Liver and Bowels, cleanses the sys o temn effectually, dispels colds, head ec aches and fevers and cures habitual econstipation.
