THE SCHOOLS.

The spring term of Yorkville Female In.
stitute, in charge of W. R. Jones, A. M, as
Principal, opened OF the 1st instant, with an
attendance of thirty.one pupils, which num-
ber will probably be increased to forty dur
ing the present week. The prospects of the
school, under Mr.. Jones' management, are
brighter, thus early in the session, than they
have been at any period since the war.
Kings Mountain Military School also
opened on the 1st instant, with an attendance
of forty students This High School for boys,
under the control of Col. A. Coward as Prin'
cipal, is supplied with every equipment
and appliance necessary in school OF its
grade, and the educational facilities it affords
are surpassed by no institution of similar
character. In place of Prof. Reynolds, who
resigned the position of Professor of History
and Bellies Lettres, Col. Coward has been for
tunate in securing the services Of Capt. c. d.
Grandy, who graduated with the first dis
tinction at the Virginia Military Institute in
1874, in which institution he remained as as
sistant professor for one year. In addition to

bers having been enjoined to be careful in
the future how he violated the ninth COM
mandment, there was for some time an excl
ting debate as to which was which. A Bible
was finally procured, and none of the senators
being familiar with that work, the lieutenant
governor volunteered to solve the conundrum
with the remark that "the ten commandments
we're to be found in Christ's sermon on the
Mount, which you will find in the writing of st.
Matthew" Three times, with constantly deep
ening blushes, the high official thumbed the
pages which contained the famous sermon,
and wonderful to relate, could discover no
trace of the tablets, when "please, sir" came
from an awestruck little page at his side,
"they are in the 20th chapter of Exodus, and
were given to Moses by the Lord in noun:
tain, when he was leading the children out Of
captivity" "Of course they are, of course
they are" now shouted the entire Assembly,
with the exception Of the Lieutenant-Gover-
nor, who, saying something about his memory
failing him of late years, is reported to have
gone out, weeping bitterly.

The Weather Last Week.

- Reports from various sections, dated the
End instant, represent unusually severe wealth
er. At Detroit, Michigan, the thermometer
was 25 degrees below zero, and there was ter
rife wind and snow. At Louisville the ther-
mometer fell 40 degrees in "a hours, and the
heaviest gale experienced there for twenty-five
wears blew on the river. At New York there
was a heavy northwest wind, blowing at the
speed of sixty-six miles an hour. There was
also tremendous gale at Washington. AT
Webster, Mass, the steeple of the Universal.
ist Church was blown down. At Cohoes the
steeple ofSt. Barnard's Church, 225 feet high,
was blown down, and also the spire of the
Episcopal Church at Frederick, Md. At
Woonsocket, R. l., the new brick French Cath
olic Church was blown down, and much dam
age to shipping along the Atlantic coast is
reported.
Judge Mackey and the Parker Cases.

Judge.
The State, appellant vs.. Niles G. Parker,
respondent. Orders appealed from set aside
and vacated. Opinion by Willard, Associate

It is held in these cases that no provision
of law exists authorizing circuit Judge to
enter another circuit and perform judicial
functions there, without the sanction and con-
sent of the Chief Justice. 1t follows that the

could be reduced from s179, 200, as provided
in the appropriation bill under consideration,
to s11O,80O, to raise which tax lib Of a
mill would be required. The appropriation
for public printing he urged to be reduced to
$25,OOO, and for legislative expenses he sug-
gested the sum of $4,000 as being amply
sufficient. The tax for the public school fund,
he argued, could be reduced from 2 mills to
II mills. In support of this recommendation
be said that the present educational system of
the State has failed to produce results COM
mensurate with its cost it scarcely touches
the people, There was law which enabled
every community in the State to levy local
school tax, and what the school system Of the
State most needed was theawakening Of more
local interest in it. The custom of raising
money for school purposes, sending it to Co
lumbia and then sending it back, was calcu-
lated to induce the people to look upon it as
in the nature of gift, and they failed to pay
attention to their schools and to take as much
care in spending the money. He thought 1t
worth the experiment to try if by reducing
the State school levy they could not increase
the local interest in the public schools. The
amount of tax necessary tor the deficiencies
he could not exactly estimate. He had esti'
mated that As of mill would be enough,
but he had since heard that the Senate COM
mittee had reported the salary bill with con-
siderable reductions, and if this was true and
the bill passed, less amount would be re-
quired for deficiencies.

The Southern Life Insurance Company.

The announcement made a few days
ago that the above insurance company had
filed petition in bankruptcy was quite unex-
pectedly received, and caused commotion in
several of the Southern States where the COM
pany had transacted business. No authorized
statement has been made by the managers Of
the company as yet; but the following is
given by the Atlanta Herald as the causes
which led to the failure:
Some three years ago, the Southern Life In
surance Company, through its headquarters in
Memphis, absorbed the business Of the "Caros
lima Life Insurance Company" The terms
of the absorption as shown by the contract
we're that the Southern Life assumed all the
living risks of the Carolina Company, but did
not become responsible for its debts, or for
losses already accrued.
Shortly after the absorption took place, some
of the old creditors of the Carolina Life COM
menced suit against the Southern Life, de-
manding settlement of their claims, on the
general assertion that having taken all the as
sets of the Carolina Company, the Southern
Life became Responsible 1or I'LL Iho ilauili1ee
of that company. The suits were instituted
in Tennessee, and after tedious trials, sufh-
cient number of test cases were decided to
show that the Southern Life would have to
pay the debts of the Carolina Company. This
it could have done, had it not been that the
assets of that company shrank to almost moth
ing when an attempt was made to realize upon
them. A few days since, being convinced
that the company could not carry the load,
and desiring to avoid any priority OF claims
and prevent a sacrifice of its assets, the com
pany at Memphis determined to 60 into vol
untary bankruptcy.
