Tho Columbia State of tho 18th iust.
says: "Last Saturday oveniug Senator
Sullivan, of Anderson, was tho loser of
[? purso containing something over $40.
Ile has heard nothing of it since. The
Senator was with Col. Thomas Wilson,
i)f Salem, who at tho samo time was re
lieved of a leather hook containing a
number of [railroad passes. The pick
pocket evidently not caring to bother
with tho passes threw this book away,

Dwner. The work was evidently that
af a professional."

iain actual need ol' a pension if it can

lato Maj. 1). L. Cox's Company, Mc
Gowan's brigade, which was made up
in thu Fork section. If there are any
of his old comrades in the Fork, they
will be doing him a great favor by

ton* S. C., and giving such informatio
ns will aid him in getting his pupers in
proper shape to secure tho pension.

less condition and pretty severely
burned. Ho waa traveling toward An
derson in a one-horso wagon loaded
with shingles. In the front of tho wa
gon ho had some quills, and it
thought the quilts caught firo from hia
pipe. When discovered tho shingles
and quilts were afire. Ho waa taken to
Mr. Leo'a and properly cared for. Tho

Tho electric lights were turned on
last Wednesday. About midday many

aro on." At night tho streets, residen
ces and stores, with their show-win
dowp iook on their former brilliancy,
and tho wheela of tho many industries,
dependent upon thia wonderful power,
began to turn. At no moro opportuno
time could tho lights have boon turned
on. Slipping, slushing and stumbling
in darkness through each a snow ns fell
Friday afternoon and night would have
been extremely hazardous, whilo tho
i various induBtries using electricity,
' because of the scarcity of coal, tho
alow proce88 of hand labor and tho dif
ficulty in securing labor ainco the
, snow, would have suffered great IOBB.
But, best of all, ;it restored to work
many who may have suffered severely
before the snow disappears.
