Score another failure for G. Foster.
He tried to bulldoze the temperance
people into not putting a ticket into
the field, and sent his strikers to the
convention for that purpose. He
even wrote a whining, cringing letter,
but withal he failed to accomplish
his purpose. C. Foster in these days
is in remarkable hard luck.

PERsoSAL.
.1.P. c. of the Eaton Reg ster

In regard to the cowardly attempt
of the villain Guiteau to take the life
of the President-in the columns OF
the DEMocRAT-in public and in pri-
vate conversation-we have plainly,
honestly and unequivocally express
ed our de~testation of the crime. No
one with feelings above those of a
savage could do otherwise over the
assassination of any individual,
much less that of one occupying the
high and honorable position of Pres
ident of fifty millions of people,
placed there by the voice of a major
ity of them. Yet, Notwithstanding
these facts, the miserable, malignant
old dog, who controls the columns of
the Eaton Register to it's certain in
jury and disadvantage, by garbling
a little paragraph in the DEMOCRAT
abiding to the meeting Of Congress,
attempts to make it appear that Sc
cretly we are gratified over the shoot
ing of the President! A short time
ago the old rascal attempted to poi
son the Democrats of Preble county
against us and injure the paper by
garbling an extract from an editorial,
in which he signally failed, for the
subscription of the DEMOCRAT is
steadily going up, while that of the
Register, under the editorial control
of the old malignant wind bag and
blatherskite, goes down. Now he
attempts to incite a mob against US
by falsely and maliciously construe-
ing a small squib on Congress to
mean qualification over the shooting
ofthe President. In this the old do
tard will also fail, for the want of
some one with the same amount of
assinine qualities he possesses and
courage to undertake the job. 1t is
said that when dogs grow old they
become afflicted with the mango and
are very troublesome, and that hogs
at a certain age get black teeth, be,
come vicious and bite at every OBJ
ject. The animus of this old animal
is clearly d%iscernible in his several
attempts to do us personal injury
uthvrishvfevery prrncTpteur man
hood and decent journalism. His
proper element seems to be in gar,
bling newspaper paragraphs and
falsely and m%aliciously mi~srepresent-
ing his neighbors. He gloats in the
disreputable business, even though
it exhibits him in community as a
sneaking old coward, devoid of hon
or or principle. No wonder the good
citizens of New Paris refused to
trust the d~estinies of their town in
his hands as Mayor-no wonder
they refused to allow him even to act
as a Justice of the Peace-and no
wonder they felt a relief when he
left the village. The editor who
will garble and put a false .construc-
ton on an article of a contemporary
for the purpose of e~mbittering the
public and melting a mob against
him, is no better at heart than the
murderer Guiteau, and is unfit to
be at large in a community of civil
lied people.
We dislike to write thus against
any neighbor OF person, but when a
man will deliberately, falsely, and
m~aliciously m~isrepresent an article
for the purpose of having a personal
injury done US, we feel justified in the
use of plain language, and that our
readers and the public, will excuse it.

GOOD Law.
Non.ForfeIGabIe Life insurance
Policies


On the first OF January last there went
into effect in the State OF Massachusetts,
a non-forfeiture law, applying to policies
Of life or endowment insurance issued on
and after that date By any company or
ganized under the laws Of that State. 1ts
first section declares that no such policy
shall become void for non-psyment Of
premium after two full annual premiums
shall have been paid, whether the payments
we're BY cash or notes, or both. By section
second It is provided that at the instant and
by the very fact Of failure to pay third or
any subsequent annual premium, trans
forms the policy into paid-ap contract for
q definite sum, ascertAinable according to
an unvarYing rule fixed In the statute.
The Boston Spectator says Of It: "This
rule, embodied in the second and third sec
lions, may be thus stated: Assuming the
combined experience or setuaries' rate Of
mortality, and interest at 4 per cent, find
the present worth of the net premiums yet
payable to carry the original policy to ma
turity, and take s per cent. Of this for a sur
render charge; add thereto any existing
Indebtedness of the assured to the company;
deduct the sum from the net
value OF the policy as increased
by dividend additions, such net value
being ascertained according to the assump-
lions aforesaid, sld the paid up insur-
ance will be for such sum as the remainder,
considered as a single net premium, will
purchase. Sections four and five stipulate
for the payment OF the net value Of the
policy at any anniversary thereof, less the
deductions just mentioned, in cash, when
ever the assured, having no minor or de-
pendent child, shall with his wife, If any,
and any living beneficiary or benefcisries
named In the policy, join In an application
for such cash payment. In all cases Of pru
Dental or industrial policies where the pre-
MUM is iVe cents per week, or any sum not
exceeding fifty cents per week, the surren-
der value is payable Ia cash.

The SLOW Rnnf Mail.

Since the bad weather hiss sbated, the
"fast mailn train has been again started
southwark, and 1t seems is getting no bet
ter fast In the matter of making time. The
Charleston Netos and Courier of yesterday
reports that it was two hours and half be-
hind time when it reached that city on
Wednesday, and says:
f'The cause of the delay was not even
known TO the passengers who came in on
the train beyond the fact that the time was
lost between Wilmington and FLORENCE.
The train which left Washington at seven
O'Clock Tuesday morning was oVeTtaken by
the fast mail' train which left the same
city at II midday at Wilmington. The
passengers were huddled together in
one second-class coach, a number Of ladies
on their way to Florida being I'M
able to obtain sleeping berths. The con-
duetor on the Northeastern train telegraph
ed to Charleston that there were fifty odd
passengers desiring to go through to SaVan-
nah, and requesting that the Charleston
and Savannah train be kept at the junction
so test the connection could be made. The
request was not complied with, the curt an
swer being that tee train would not wait. ;
The passengers, therefore; we're compelled
to lie over 10 this city,"

AT THE BARRACKS.
A Belligerent Darkey and Three
Suspicious Characters Arrested.

Four delinquents were placed In confine-
ment Yesterday at the above named well
known terror Of evil doors, under the fol-
lowing circumstances:
William II. Grant, p. c., while under
the IL fuence OF liquor, became very disor-
6erly about $40 yesterday afternoon at the
Screven House, ard attempte to cut with
a knife Mr.. George w. Sargent, the prOprie-
tor. Great excitement was caused thereby,
and officer Hennessey having been called In,
promptly arrested the belllgerent and put
him in durance vile to await the action of
the Mayor on his case.
At 1920 O'Clock last night, Philip Gordon,
colored was seen suspiciou-ly lurking under
the shed on the wharf just in rear Of elly's
Block, with bag of coffee In his possee-
sion, which it is supposed he had stolen.
At the instance of Mr.. O. Hartman he was
promptly arrested and held to account for
his conduct by officer Langbell.
Officer LaDgbell also arrested at the same
time and place John Henderson, colored,
and John Miller, white, after making
thorough search of the wharf at the request
of Mr.. Hartman, and they were taken to
the barracks and registered as suspicious
characters. II appears that the Georgia and
Florida Inland Steamboat Company have a
lot of cotton seed slowed away under the
above mentioned shed, and at different
times quantities of 1t have been missing.
Mr.. Hartman came down to the wharf to
investigate the matter, and finding these
parties snugly slowed away among the bags
of seed, had them arrested as herein stated.

We have already noticed the fact that the
Savannah Bank and Trust Company
were about adding a safety deposit de-
partment to their banking house. About
year ago a charter was procured by a
corporation having the safe deposit plan as
its principal feature, but that company has
not yet been organized, and the necessity
for something of the kind being manifest
the idea has been adopted by others. The
Company's vault and safes has been aW ard
ed to Messrs. Herring 81 Co., of New York,
and the work is guaranteed to be of the
most substantial and approved character
Ii will consist of q secure brick vault with
walls thirty inches in thickness to protect
its contents against fire; the inside to be
lined with the best known burglar proof
material. The door of this vault
is to be of extra thickness, tongued and
grooved (the joints packed with rubber,
thus making it air Tight, and provided with
a double Dexter bank lock-" This lock,
in return, is relocked with yates double
chronometer time lock-" The interior Of
theVault is to be fitted with safety boxes,
varying in size to suit the wants
Of patrons. These are to be strongly built
and provided with the best key locks. In
these boxes can be placed lady's jewelry
or capitalists bonds, safe against loss by

Masonic Trade Marks.

On this subject we extract the following
remarks from the Masonic columns of the
New York Sunday Courier. They are very
sensible, and will readily commend them.
selves to the craft everywhere.
"There is nothin SO un-Masonic as using
emblems Of the craft for trade marks, es-
pecially for the purpose OF attracting the
attention of persons to the indulgence OF
vices that often lead to degradation
"Too often, far too often, do we see such
emblems attached to intoxicating liquors,
and put forth as a guaranty that such
liquors are pure.
knowing that 1t Is contrary to all true
Masonic usages for Masons to use emblems
in this way, we always come to the con-
clusion that the person who uses such trade
marks are not Masons, and that these marks
are put forth to deceive.
ga Masonic lodge is not teetotal meet
ing; but Masons are taught to be temperate
In all things. ANY person, therefore, claim
ing to be Mason, who places a Masonic
emblem as a trade mark on intoxicating
liquors, to destroy his brother for his own
profit, is no Mason and should be avoided.
Whenever a brother observes Masonic
emblem on, in or around, liquor store, he
should avoid the place, for the keeper
thereof, he may be sure, would rather see
a Mason drunk In the gutter, if thereby
money can be secured from him, than that
the said Mason should carry all his earnings
home to his family.
eff Mason cannot make his business
known to another without using embIems,
the articles he sells have no reputation,
and the emblems are not likely to make
them better. Besides which his reputation
among the fraternity cannot be good; or he
would have no occasion to use emblems as
trade marks,
Every Mason will and does know that
the use OF emblems in any such way is Ma
sonically Illegal and has an evil tendency.
''The best way to cure the evil is to stamp
1t out.
"Never use or purchase any article hav-
ing on it Masonic emblem as trade
mark; then you viii not be deceived.
''Far too many seek Masonry for what
they can make out of it, and such Masons
would never hesitate to deceive If they can
thereby only make money.
"Again we say avoid all Masor ic trade
marks, and discourage them in every posi-
bic way"
