Easter at the Church of tho Nativity"

In accordance with q custom observed for many
centuries, the Episcopal Church in this town, on
Easter Sunday last, was beautifully decorated.
1t was all appropriate and i'll perfcc; taste. All
the adjuncts of Nave, Choir and Chanccl were
wreathed with ivy, cellar and other cvcrgrecns :;
while the richest pr0fusion of hot house flow
ers, covering them all and piled high in font
and vases, were fit cmblems Of that joy which
all should feel on the anniversary Of Christ s
Passover" We have never seen it more beauti-
full and the fair ladies' whose hands worked so
faithfully, and who contributed 50 handsomely,
must have felt that they had teldere. no mean

dead.

A Fatal Accident,

On Tu- sday evening last fatal accident
occurred, on the Mt. Tabor road, a few
miles hey ond Mr.. +. L. Vaughn's. 1t ap-
pears that Mr.. j. Munro Smith and his wife
had come to town that day on horseback, to
transact some business, and on their way
back Mr. S. stopped ar Mr.. Vaughan's and
sent his wife home. Mr. Smith not reach
ing home that night search was made for
him, and early in the morning he was found
dead, unoler his horse, in deep gully beside
the road, not far from his home. From every
appearance the horse had gone too near the
gully and the ground being soft gave way
precipitating both horse and rider into it,.
No doubt Mr.. Smith was killed instantly,
but the bottom Of the gully was too narrow
for the horse to extricatc himself and he
remained there all night, with Mr.. Smiths
body under him. The horse was alive when
found. Mr.. Smith leaves wife and two
children.

WASHINGTON. April 8.
SIR: Prior to my entering upon the du-
ties of the Presidency, there had been sta
toned, by orderSf my predecessor, in the
State House at Columbia, s. c., detach.
ment of United States infantry. Finding
them in that place, have thought proper
to delay decision of the question of their
removal until could consider and deter
mine whether the condition of affairs in that
State is such as to either require or justify
the continued military occupation of the
State House. In my opinion, there does
not now exist in that State such domestic
violence as is contemplated by the constitu-
tiou as the ground upon which the military
power of the national government may be
y
arc, it is true, grave and serious disputes as
to the rights of certain claimants to the
chief executive Office of that State, but these
arc to be settled and determined not by the
Executive Of the United States, but by such
orderly and peaceable means as may be pro-
vided by the constitr ion and laws of the
State. feel assure, that no resort to vio
lence is contemplated in any quarter, but
that, on the contrary, the disputes in ques
ton arc to be settled solely by such peaceful
remedies as the constitution and the.laws o
the State provide. Under these circum
stances, in this confidence, deem it proper
to take action in accordance with the princi
pies announced when l entered upon tho
duties of the Presidency. You are, there
fore, directed to see that the proper order:
are issued for the removal of said troop:
from tho State House to their previous place

Judge Northrop all Right.

The Republican publishes q startling inter
view with Hon. L. G. Northrop, Circuit Judge
of the Seventh Circuit of South Carolina. Cap
toning the interview, the Republican says:
"Thc Judge is native born South Carolinian,
being descendant of one Of the oldest families
in the State. When the late war took place
Judge Northrop,hi father and his brother all en-
listed OH the Confederate side. Ills father and
brother were killed, and lie survived, to after
wards become Republican and firm supporter
of Governor Chamberlain
After paying high compliment TO the man
hood and integrity CT Chamberlain. he proceeds
to describe the situation, The Democrats be-
lieve rs they do in their existence that Hampton
received over 900 ma ority of the votes, and
is the lawfully elected Governor. They claim
that it has been decided in their favor by the
courts, and they would eagerly defend il by The
last dollar and the last life. l have never seen
such profound excitement and infexiblc rcsou-
tion as exists throughout ny section. 1t is in
every fibre Of the atmosphere, and must be felt
to be understood. 1t is of q kind with the frenzy
that possessed the people of Paris in 1893. 1t
hos been waiting like chained tiger on the first
movement of llampton's finger or lips. If that
movement had been made, the whole army of
the United States would have had business on
its hands" Further on he says IL am n
Republican, every inch of me, and Carolinian,
every inch of me, and don't want to see the
State pass into the hands of the Democracy, but
l don't want to see it 60 to the devil, either"
.Reporter-Well, if Hampton becomes Cover.
nor. would peacefolow
Judge North6p-Yes, sir; it would most un-
doubtedly, and with that peace would come am
pie protection to all the people alike, and property
would st onoe become enhanced in value full 25
per cent. ~~"

THE PEOPLE CREATE MoNoPOLIEs.-The two
gas companies Of Charlotte have consolidated
and raised the price of gas from one to five dol
lars and the consumers are ''kickiHg." This
is perfectly natural. and comes from o lack of
patronage to the new compahy, the people of
Charlotte preferring, like all others, to hold up
an old and strong company against new enter
prise, and they have the result of it. We un-
derstand that many of the consumers Of gas
have actually been paying the old gas company
double the price demanded by the Centennial
Company, which it is claimed furnished equally
as good gas. We never knew community that
would act otherwise; and by this very action,
we build up monoplcs that place us in their
power, and finally the affairs ofthc whole coun-
try will be under the rule of combinations Of mo-
nopolies. GrceRrUe Neps.

This sum has beea made in tie use Of
the first years installments, say S7.24G 90 for
t,pcive months and the second years nstalments
S7,l3l, for an average time of sir months.
The net earning divided by the shares issued

The funds of the Association, now invested
amount to sixteen thousand six hundred dollars.
The committee, after u careful examination of

that they are we'll secured.
We are pleased to add that we find the Books
of the Association, kept by our Secretary and
Treasurer with great neatness and accuracy,
and they show clearly all the transactions of the
Association.
In this connection we find that, the business
has largely increased, and the increasing busi-
ness and capital of the next year will require.
additional promptness from the shareholders as
well from the barrowers.
The monthly dues should he paid inpfomptly,
the day of our monthly meetings, to enable the
officers to keep oil our capital loaned cut, and
drawing interest. And the borrowers should
promptly file thci, applications; (Which the
Secretary and Treas. will furnish), on the morn
ing after the night Of the monthly meeting. This
will enable the Committee to examine oil the
securities offered for loans at meeting-and
then they can make their report to meeting
of the Board Of Directors, thus enabling the
off GERS of the Association to give all the attcn-
tion necessary tsvAhe transaction Of your busi-
| ness, without driving too much, on their time,
which they are compelled to give to their own
business.
If these recommendations are carried out
promptly by all interested, it will keep down
expense and add additional profits to the Asso-
