Some Consideration among the policy
holders Of the Mutual Self Ecndow-
men Association, was created here last
week by the statement in the papers
that the Association. whose h%ead-auar-
tcrs were at Fort Worth, Texas, had
failed. This report is confirmed. But
it appears that the department over
which w. d. Mayfeld resides, with
headquarters ut Greenvillc, S. c., has
been for some time disconnected with
the Texas concern. And that it is
solvent and that il it's policy holders
will stand by it that it will weather the
storm. That its finances are not ~involv-
ed. And that all it has TO fear is the
loss of confidence Of it's policy-holders,
because Of this scare. We hope this is
true. SO that our people who have
gone into the company will not lose
anything.

Trouble in Edgehell.

Mrs: Culbrcath was absent from home and
DR.. Leroy and Stillwell spent the night at
her residence. After supper these gentlemen
walked int" the yard when somcbodv from the

course this excited them very much. 1t is
generally supposed that these would be assas-

hive been falsehoods sworn against this Young
man, and it seems that his enimics are deter

these assertions, and if anybndy wants to know
my name give it to them. If the governor is
so anxious about furnishing lawlessness it
would seem to be legitimate for him to spend
some of the public money in trying to kecp
Young Culbreath from being murdered.
While some are irving to hang him others are
trying to assassinate him.

STATE BAR ASSOCIATION.

The meeting of the State Bar Associ-
alton in Columbia last Tuesday and
"Wednesday was a great success. This
was it's first annual meeting and it indi-
Gates that there is a great deal Of inter
est felt on the part Of the men.oers Of
the Bar throughout the State
Messrs- Haskell, Pope and Caldwell
read papers.
w. A. Lee, Esq, Of this Bar, read an
essay before the Association. on 1.-THE
Common Law" which was considered
by many to be the finest paper read at
the meeting. We heard many words of
praise to this gentleman, who is as wor-
thy and modest. as he is learned and
vcrsed in the principles Of his profess
sion.
On Wednesday night Judge j. H.
Dillon, Of New York. delivered the an
nual address, before the Association, in
the Hall of the House Of Representa-
tives. This eminent jurist was not Il
stranger to tho Bar Of this State.
i4eastwise his fame as author, inrist and
lawyer is co-cXtensive with the limits OF
the union. The subject Of his addr ,ss
was, "American Jurisprudence" and it
was profoundly interesting and instruc-
tive to all members eff the profession.
We. are pleased to knew that Judge
Dillon returned to his Northern home
very much gratilicd ut his reception
here. Ccrtainly the members of the
Bar Association were greatly impressed
by him.
After the address the Annunl Dinner
was partakcn of. 1t was spread in the
dinihg room Of the Columbia Hotel.
and was one Of the finest spreads we
ever enjoyed. Over one hundred and
forty members were present. No set
toasts were given. But n number OF
impromptu ones we're offered and re-
sponed to wittily and we'll.
Mr.. w C. Benet, the Secretary, de-
serves a great deal Of praise for his ad-
mirable management Of all the arrange
ments for the meeting. Very much OF
its success is due to him.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Dec. IL. 1885.
Mr.. Davies bill to make purchases Of
seed cotton on which there exists n lien
liable, came up for n second reading. 1t
provides that any person who shall pur-
chase seed cotton on which there exists
any unsatisfied agricultural lien for rent
or supplies, duly indexcd as required
by law, shall be deemed liable for the
payment of such unsatistied lien and
the amount Of the same may be recov-
cred by action therefor in any Court Of
competent jurisdiction.
There vas some discussion on the
subject, which resulted in the substitu-
ton Of Mr.. Dantgler'S bill to regulate
the buying Of seed cotton in Orange
burg County. This was doctorcd up
into n general bill, the provisions Of
which are rs follows: Persons who
may desire to traffic in seed cotton must
apply to the county commissioners. pay s
license Of 300, and be recommended
by ten planters in the township. PEN

to three years. Then another discus
sion ensued. n motion finally prevail

House was then enabled to get to get
to work.
Mr.. Hemphill's bill to abolish the Of
flee OF supervisor of registration, and to
devolvc the duties thereof on the audit
ors Of the several counties, was next
reached. The bill had been reported
~unfavorably by the committee, and a

that tho auditors would be unable to
discharge the duties OF both offices.
Mr. Hem2hill said that when the reg

books are made up the supervisors have
comparatively nothing TO do.

This having been settled Mr.. Hemp

the vote on the Anderson prohibition
bill. A motion was made to table this,
and was carried on a call Of the roll by
a vote Of 50 to Al. This is an Anti Pro-
hibition victory. The move was an,ic,-
pated. and so interested were the mem
bcrs on both sides that half \ dozen or
more pairs were announced.
Mr.. llemphill who moved to recon

Prohibitionists could not have reopcned
