An agent of the Southeastern
Tariff Association is visiting the
counties in South Carolina and
r@tlng property for fire insurance.
From the headquarters of the AS
soclation it is learned that South
Carolina tops the list of all the
Southern states in excess of losses
over receipts of premiums during
the past eight years. Her record is
as follows: Total losses incurred,
S3,9j3,652; total net premiums re-
ceiyed, 2,j05, 500; loss to companies
over receipts, $l,448,255.
Taking. into consideration the fact
that five other southern states show
losses for the same period ranging
from 100000 to 81 100000, many
of the leading companies are seri-
ously thinking of entirely withdraw
ing from the South.

The Dayton Coal and Iron Com
pany, which is now erecting two
large iron furnaces at Dayton, has
built railroad four miles west OF
Dayton to the top of Waldens Ridge
to important coal fields. An infor-
mai proposition has been made to
Bledsoe county by the manager OF
the company to extend the railroad
to Pikeville if the county would sub
scribe $4,000 toward the enterprise
and this proposition is now the alb
sorbing topic of conversation in the
county. Committees are at work
gathering the statistics of the prod
ucts and resources of every district
in the county to be furnished the
Dayton company. The question
will come up in Il few weeks and the
proposition will be probably ac-
cepted. 1t is project Of great I'M
portance and it is to be hoped il
will be carried out. The leugth OF
the proposed line, is eleven miles,

Mr.. Foster, the United States
Minister at Madrid, signed on Tues
day the protocols of an important
treaty between SPUN and the United
States, embodyins large concessions
from Spain, an reductions of du-
ties on American goods, America in
return admitting Cuban sugars at
lower rates. The treaty is believed
to insure a large expansion of Amer
lean trade, and is regarded in Eng
land as triumph for American
diplomacy, England having hitherto
vainly attempted to secure similar
concessions.

The Virginia Plague is worthily

exciting very great attention, the
scenes that have been witnessed in
the district of its ravages are heart
rending in the extreme. It's sup
posed origin lies in the scarcity and
putrefation Of the water during the
recent long drought. No rain had
fallen for three months, grass and
crops are a total failure, springs
and creeks were dry. Water in
some sections of country has been
brought from u distance of two
miles. The town of Mt. Pleasant,
Harlan Co has only one we'll, con-
tanning water. During the past six
weeks this deadly plague has swept
this entire section, and destroyed at
least one thousand persons, out of Il
population of fifteen hundred. Live
stock have died by hundreds, the
cattle being similarly affected to
man. The disease begins by severe
pam in the stomach, accompanied
by excessive fever, bloody iiux,
yomitlng:-and then death. 1t
makes short work of it, the sickness
seldom continues more than u day.
The population is scattered and
whole families die alone, and re-
main unburied. On Mocasin Greek
the ravages Of this destroyer are
appalling. Of lS0 persons who
reside in this locality 100 of them
have died. Doctors are unattaina-
bic and the simple remedies Of the
peasantry are unavalling. Glades-
vile, ky., is decimated, and Leba-

"PERSONAL LIBERTY"

Among the most misleading phrases used
by the whiskey people to make influence for
their cause is the phrase personal liberty"
The real meaning of the phrase, as used by
the advocates of dramselling and dran-drink-
ing, is that rumsellers should have liberty to
sell intoxicating liquors to people no matter
how many are thereby made paupers on the
public charges for other citizens to support,
no matter how many are thereby untitled for
work and for business to support their famil-
les, no matter how many families consisting
of wife and children are thereby scanted or
beggared, no matter how many fights occur.
nor how much brawling is thereby engender-
ed, no matter how much the peace of other
people is thereby disturbed, no matter how
much other people may lose by the rumsell-
er's drawer absorbing the money of the drink
er-money which ought instead to go to pay
ing honest debts-the whiskey seller and
drinker should have liberty to sell and drink.
This is the real meaning of the phrase ''per-
sonal liberty" in the use they make of it.

HORACE GREELEY ON WINES.

George William Curtis, in his recent adj
dress at the seventy eighth annual dinner of
the New England Society, told the following
characteristic anecdote of Horace Greeley:
81 remember many years ago, when l was
one of group of young writers uponthe 1'rt6-
une and Mr.. Greeley was an ardent temperance
reformer, that vigorous article appeared one
morning urging young men to avoid the tempt
er in whatever form he might appear, wheth-
er as punch or bitters, as sherry or Madeira, as
hook or claret, as Heidsieck or cham
payne. Laughter. The young writers
who were not ardent temperance reform
ers-greeted Mr.. Greeley uproarously when
he appeared at the Office, and with infinite
glee pointed out to him that Heidsieck was
not different wine, but only particular
brand of champagne. AS the laugh rang
round the room Mr.. Greeley, who, as his op-
ponents usually found, was quite able to hold
his own, leaned with his shoulder against the
wall looking benignly at the laughing chorus
and when it became quiet he said: Wal,
boys, 1 guess I'm the only man in this Office
that could have made that mistake and then
added: 1t don't matter what you call him,
champagne, or Heidsieck, or absinthe, he's
the same old devil" Much laughter.

CORRESPONDENCE.
MULLICA HILL.

During and since Major SCOTS lectures a
tidal wave of temperance has swept over our
community. He has certainly been instru-
mental in Gods hands in doing vast amount
of good in our midst.
Although the weather was decidedly unfa-
vorable for the series of meetings last week,
the people turned out in goodly numbers,
through mud and rain, proving conclusively
that the temperance sentiment in our village
is rapidly on the increase.
On Sunday evening the last of the series
was held in the M. E. church. By Z o'clock
the house was filed to excess and by the time
the speaker began there was scarcely stand
ing room and some were even compelled to go
to the Baptist church which was not closed
that evening. The lecture was full of logic
and argumentative and was of two hours
length, the major certainly exceeding himself
in this his last lecture. The people are deter
mined to have him return some time in the
future The W. c. T. U. have been wonder
fully strengthened and encouraged by his la
bors
The collections, besides paying him his
fees placed a..handsome sum in the treasury
of the w. c. T. U. under whose auspices the
lecturer was secured.
On Monday night last we took the major to
Evansville, three miles distant where the
rum power has been exerting its influence to
terrible extent. The church, although the
night was stormy, was SO well filed that
chairs had to be brought in from houses near
by. The W. G. T. q. of Mullica Hill came
over in body. After the lecture, which was
forcible one, quite number signed the
pledge. For want of space and time we can
only add may God bless the efforts of Major
Scott and.wife wherever they may be called.
