Franco and The krOunnirs.

LONDON, April IA d>palch from Paris
TO the Times says France j. not likely TO
carry on war against the kroumiiS, rs she
would have to CXpcnd torrents OF blood and
vast sums OF money before sue could con-
qucr tbom, a they Would carry on que
yilll warfare until the last krOumir was
slain. France will therefore probably take
precautions against incur>iOns by the
kroumirS and chasli>e them if hey recon-
mence their depreda'iOns. and instead OF
wasting time and men IN fighting the krou-
Mrs, she will enter Tunis by the coast and
occupy Goleta aud other points and sum
mon the Bey TO sign convention, leaving
the autonomy Ct Tuni, intact while estab-
fishing the supremacy OF France. While
thus showing the African tribes her strength,
she will eyince her resolution not TO tolerate
in Tunis any ascendaDcy but her own.
4 diSplich has been received here stating
that the Bey OF Tunis, whilst pers>ling in
his refusal TO cooperate with France in
chastising the Kroumirs, has declared that
the Tuni>ian troops VIII not oppose the
French trOODs.

THE WEATHER.

The polar wave that swept the country
during the last days of the old year and the
first days of the present, has not had its par
allel probably since the cold winter of 1885.
Elderly persons recall the day, as the "cold
Saturday" which occurred in the month of
December of that year. But according to
the recorded temperature of the year, it would
seem that Sunday the 8th Of February was
the day on which the greatest depression oc-
Cured. The Army Meteorological Register
gives as the minimum observation two degrees
below zero in the South Atlantic slope, and
also states that snow fell on four days with
nine rainy and cloudy days, and fifteen fair
days. At Charleston the thermometer, indi-
Gated 12 degrees and at Greenville II degrees.
This was not so severe as the late cold weather
experienced here, when the mean temperature
was degrees below zero.

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.

Municipal elections occurred at Rock Hill,
in this county, and at Chester, G. H., on
Monday last. In each town the contest was
over license or no license. At Rock Hill a
mixed ticket was elected as follows-J. M.
Ivy, Intendant, j. R. Allen and A. Fried,
helm, wardens, who were candidates on the
dry ticket and R. j. Hagins. and j. w.
Fewell, of the wet ticket. The anti license
party obtained majority of the board, in
cluding Intendant, gaining it by only one
vote.
In Chester the dry ticket was composed OF
VIM. A. Sanders, E. T. Atkinson, Robt. W.
Stricker, S. B. Latham and R. Brandt. The
candidates on the wet ticket were j. l.. Cham
bers, w. H. Nance, John McIver, H. M.
Ross and John L. Tongue. There was some
excitement, both sides working zealously for
their respective interests, and we are informed
that whisky flowed freely. The license party
was successful by II majority.

KNIGHTS OF HONOR.

Home Relief Lodge in Yorkville, of the
above order, now numbers 81 members, with
several applications for membership pending
The Lodge is in healthy, prosperous con-
dition and offers better means for providing
for family in case of death than any system
of life insurance that has yet been devised
while the annual expense is much less and no
fear of liquidation or insolvency. Unlike
most of benevolent institutions, instead of
reaching maximum point and declining, the
order grows stronger year by year-having
steadily increased from its organization at
Louisville, KY, in 1878, until now its mem
bership numbers over 100000 distributed in
every State of the Union.
