On t his beauti fil Jun1 day, when :il is peaceful and quiet about, thoro is deep distress in the home of Caro liia's Governor. There is a life fading away-ono of promise and hope-and th1ie ph ysiciai's art, they Riy, i4 anost at an oen(d. Tho hand of but Ono caln bring back faint hope, for the task for hinimi hands, alis! Htsim it ill eid. Yet, of course, while thoro is life thore is hope. It may ploaso Him to sparo the life now thought to bo ebbing iway, and if such be the will of Providouce friOLd and foo and family will rejoice, for with ill illness, such as this, all feel. ing and animosity must m1(lt away and be followed with sympathy. Fo, weeks all kinds of rumors have bei circulated throughout the Stato rogarding Governor Ellerbo's condi tion, somn of them wildly exagger ated; indeed, reports of his death have been in circulation. Th News and Courier, anxious to present to the peoplo of the Statto the true con diC'on of their Governor, dispatched this correspondent. to Sollors. The MiSSiOn was not Onle of inJqUisitfive.. noms nor prying into personal aiiTi1rs, and mebers of the faimily wero as sured of this, together with tho ex pr%,ssion of a dosire to us only such data as was entirely agreoble to the felings of the family, if indeed any thing bo piblished. Nowspaper men havem foolings and hearts as other pooplo, aid tho in(iries woro imdo because of the porsonal sympathy and the deep interest of the people of ani entiro State in the condition of their Chief Executivo. Governor Ellerhe's condition at this writing, Thursday afternoon, is that of an extremently ill man, that is hardly serious enough. This morning a messenger was sont post haste after Dr. Frank M. Monroe, of Latta, the family physi cian, and he was mot with the stato mnilt that the fsimily thought Gover nor Elolerbo was (lying. He was then n1eirly to the Ellerbo home Cn his waly there. When(1 lie aitived he found Go vernor FIlirbo's conditioni abi no-t as8 serious ts lie family feared. His feet woro cold, his pulse wveak, very weiak. Dr. Monroe asikod Gov eirnor Elle'rbo if lie caredl for sonie brandi(y, feeling that wats the best stisimulant. Governor El~lerbo assent odet, and a (lose of hbr5ady was given hiim--thiat waS abouit al11 thait could be done. Messengers were scot afrterI the noatr by re(lativs-anld they are many, and telegrams were sont to msembers of the family more dis tant to come here aIt once as the endl, they featredl, wats nlot far off. All (liy long memiiber's oif his family came tup. D)r. Monroe said if lie wass not munch mistalken the distinigulished pat tienit could niot hold out for over twenty -four 1hourIs, and1 for that t imo only by the use of stimulants; but, of course, there is al ways the h1opo nodl prospor(t of a change for the bttel r. Drs. Monroe, a masgniificenit spoeimen of thle old1(er generation of puhy-icianis, looked on with sadness and1( sorrow. In that same roomt where G overnor Ellerbo lay lhe had att.nded(5 inl thir I last illness Gover erinor Cl;eirbe'N father and1( miother'. D)r. Monroe said Governor Ellerbe ' had the will power to live on, but it wais now a matter of strength. It was thle strmength that was going; the teorriblei disonse which wvas atth bolttoml of the trouble was noet maitk ing n ear so irapjid hseaulway as was the6 negative piower-the loss of strengthI. Som1e1 days ago Governor Ellerbe hadl a serious stomach trouble that told on his str'ength. Dr. Monr-oo cbecked it. Governor 101lerbe was as getting a bit stronger. He drank 805some blackboerry wmon, and1( it unset his stoillh agalin, Hays th e doctor and ho again hns the w-ting I ronble For tho last few nighis hi hIs had swoats, aid tho los of strongili lilts boon going on.

Hto lots thOSO Iround himt know what h0 ImLy Wint i Ia Whisper(4- aind OCCLSiOnailly says scinething. This mornitig he called for his bravo littlo boy EAkrh, and took him by tho hand.
