Some Pertinent Questions.

Ma EDITOR AS a citizen Of Clar-
endon who feels an unbounded inter
est in her material prosperity, and
who, without vaunting her developed
resources, desires to place on record
statistical facts, Will you, as editor,
through your paper make the follow
ing queries, and publish for general
information through your widely clr-
culated medium the answers thereto?
l. How many dogs, hogs, cattle,
mules and horses Respectively are
taxed in Clarendon?
2. How much money is returned?
5. How many bonds and mortgages
are returned for taxation?
4. How much of returns IN money

5. How much has it cost to raise
cotton this year?
6. How much has it cost to raise
corn this year?
The first four queries the tax officer
and Clerk of Court can answer, l pre-

Almost married.

The Salters correspondent of the
Williamsburg Herald, under date OF
January 10Th, gives the following ac-
count of romantic marriage in that
county:
Salters has been in quite afutter Of
excitement over an event, unusual
anywhere, and unheard of in all the
former history of our quiet communl-
ty. The marriage advertised in your
paper to take place at Union church
on the 18th Of January, has been
quashed by an elopement the details
of which, if written out, would be
UNIQUE and interesting,
Mr.. E. O. Rodgers and Miss Emma
Mccullough have been plghted and
inseparable lovers,;with the full acqul-
escence of the families on either side,
for two years or more. The time OF
marriage was fixed, Mr.. R. made eve
ry necessary arrangement for house
keeping the present year, and Miss
Mccullough declared herself ready
with trousSeau and bridesmaids for
the elimination. The minister was
invited, the most trivial details ar
ranged, and Hymen rubbed his hands
gleefuny over job almost done.
Like shock to the community and
the expectant bridesmaids and grooms
men, came the news on last Friday
morning-Married last night at Capt.
J. A. Salters, Alr. J. B. Salters, and
Miss Emma Mccullough.
It seems that the young lady has
been engaged to both parties for some
time past, and her family not favoring
the suit of Mr.. Salters she has used the
preparations for her marriage with
Mr.. Rodgers to cover her intended
elopement with his rival.
No compulsion was used to make
her marry Mr.. Rodgers, and conttn-
ued clandestine action on her part
seems to have been wholly unneces,
sary. It may, however, have served
to crafty romantic impulses.
Sympathy with Mr.. Rodgers is 50
great that people forget perhaps to
give The united couple the customary
congratulations and good wishes.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

There is with many persons a fool
ISL, sentimental objection to capital
punishment, and desire to substitute
for the gravest offences a punishment
less severe than loss of life. But by
all governments capital punishment is
deemed necessary, the only question
with them being, what form shall be
used. The gallows, the guillotine, the
sword are all in use; and in military
cases shooting is the usual method.
But to all these there are objections.
Hanging is frequently slow and terri
Bile, the culprit being choked to death.
Shooting is bloody and not infrequent-
II slow and agonizing. The guillo-
tine is bloody and siekening to the
beholders and to the public mind. OF
all these ways, hanging is probably
the best, but a new ana less revolving
method might advantageously be
adopted. The desire in capital pun
ishment IS not to infict upon the pris-
oner unnecessary pain and distress,
but as easily IS possible to deprive
him of his life. Electricity has of late
made rapid advancement, and for cap
ita1 punishment, where a painless and
instantaneous death is desired, there
is no known agent or means so potent,
so certain, so instantaneous, so unat-
tended with outward and visible signs
to shock the feelings, as electricity.
The proper electric apparatus could
be arranged. comfortable chair with
head rest and foot rest for the prison
er to take his last seat in, button IS
touched, and the prisoner is dead, in
stantly and painlessly. A substitute
of electricity for the gallows, and to
have all capital punishment executed
in the State penitentiary, would be a
decidedly more humane and prefera-
bic way, than the bungling, tortuous,
hideous gallows a commission ap-
pointed BY the New York legislature
to inquire into the quickest and easi-
est method of inAicting capital pun
ishment, hss reported in favor Of cleo
tricity, and it is very probable that
State will adopt the method.

The Concert was delightful feast
of melody, rapturously listened to
and enthusiastically applauded and

Rev. Mr.. KersLaw won his aud
ience's interest from the outset, for
his lecture was not only instructive
and. inspiring, but highly interesting.
He showed thorough acquaintance
with his subject; matchless i'll origin
ality of thought and argument that
did not suffer By comparison with the
opposite quotations he introduced
from the writings Of Smiles, Ruskin,
and Hughes upon the ethics of char
acter. So fruitful are his thoughts OF
the beautiful and noble in character;
in grace and skill of language; in ele-
waiting, inspiring moral teachings, that
no one can hear his lecture without
being made better by its influence.
1t is the open sesame to attain charac-
ter of priceless value, OF which we can,
no matter how humble, be the archi-
tects. Nh. Kershaw has been invited
to deliver this lecture at the Pamela
Academy and it is likely he will do so.

A VIGOROUS FIGHT.

VANDALIA, Mo-, March l0.--The
local option campaign is beginning
to wax warm in this, the eastern
end of Audrain county Some Of
the most wealthy citizens are OPP
posing the law because they think
it will kill the town, and others are
opposing it because it does not in
clude Mexico, which has a popula-
ton of over $500. The drys and
vets are each making a vigorous
fight, but it is pretty generally con-
ceded that the county win 60 dry
by small majority. There are
two saloons in this city, and they
pay 81, 200 into the treasury every
year and the vets claim the city
cannot do without the revenue re-
ceived therefrom. Several able
speeches, both for and against the
law, have been made during the
past few days, and Judge w. @.
Forrist, of Mexico, win address our
citizens on the subject at the Opera
House tonight. March % is the

COAL OIL INSPECTION.
How the Oil 9 Teseed by an In
spector-Tne Meaning
Of $50 Test

S. w. Buckley, recently appoint
ed by the Governor as Coal Oil In
spector for this city, has given
bond in the sum of 81, 600 for the
faithful performances of his duties.
A great deal of coal oil is han
died in Mexico. tits sold at retail
from the stores and from wagons.
and at Wholesale by the Waters
Pierce Oil Company, whose tanks
are situated just south of the Wa
bash yards and north of Hardin
park. This company has made
Mexico a distributing point and
much bulk oil comes here to be
sent in packages to the small
towns in this part of the State.
Recently, the State. Coal Oil Inpsee-
tor, Billy Baggot, of st. Louis,
came to this city and notified retail
dealers that the oil sold by this
company was uninspected and that
in selling it they were liable under
the Missouri law requiring oil to
be inspected by qualified official.
For few days there promised to
be coal oil famine, but the Wa
ters-P Pierce folks hurried q repre-
sentative here, who petitioned the
City Council to recommend a man
to the Cove rnor for appointment as
Inspector for this city. Buckley
was selected.
The inspection of coal OIL is very
simple-a child can make the
test if it understands how to read
a thermometer. The oil to be
tested is placed in small glass
cup, which rests IN a larger vessel
Of brass, under which burns a
small spirit lamp. The whole
outfit reminds one of a glue pot.
The large vessel-the one made OF
brass-is filled with water. The
reason that the oil is heated through
the water is that this is the only
way by which the temperature OF
the oil to be tested can be raised
evenly and gradually.
A thermometer is held in the
little glass cup and the operator
watches the mercury as it moves
slowly up the tube. When it nears
the 100 degree mark, the inspector
passes lighted taper across the
surface of the oil. This is repeat
ed every FIVE degrees until the oil
flashes. This flash is an indication
that the oil will soon burn. The
inspector passes the taper back and
forth, until, finally, the oil ignites.
IF the Thermometer registers less
than $50 degrees at. the time, the
oil is not standard and cannot be
sold in this State. It takes forty-fve
minutes to make test.
In many of the States the test
required by law is 110 degrees,
that, indeed, being the United
States standard.

JUMPED FROM THE TRAIN.
A Kansas Sheriff7s Prisoner Makes

VANDALIA, Mo-, March S.-Last
night John Bauman, alias Charlie
Morgel, prisoner in the custody
