Editor PIcAyrNE-See in Picayune from good many townships includ- ing my own. "siatcs' but if is not my intention to make one nor to say how l like them or to say whether good or bad, bat must say that l think it bad policy to be making states. might give several reasons why 1 think SO, but will offer only one. Some men's names are men toned who probably never thought of offering for an office before they saw their names in print and others talk about it and thereby they are persuaded to make the race. and when they fail to receive the nomi. nation Gas some are sure to do) they take 1t for granted that they have been deceived Consequently they and their friends seldom take that interest they should have or would have, had they never offered for an office. feel my incompetency to even propose place for selecting county officers. bot it has been sug- gested. and think 1t q good -ttgye>- tion, that the townships meet in con vention and select Il man from their township for each plan in the county or as many n they see fit. not office seekers. but men whom they know to he suitable for the place ind send their names to the county convention and let that convention seiec. from the best qualified men and think all will be satisfied.

UT Chester County, 5. C.s 1nhtct Summary
 Punishment on a Bigamist.
 COLUMBIA, s. C., Feb. 11.-About thirty young men ill Chester county are formed into 8 'society correction band" and are known as the "Jay Hawk Regulators" Some time ago Louis Battina, handsome man, coming from Rockingham, N. C., appeared at factory and obtained work. He was very re ligous, and attended church and Sunday school regularly. He became infatuated with Miss Nancy Kee, a pretty young girl of that section, and two weeks ago they were mar ried.
 A few days ago the "Jay Hawk Regula- tors" ascertained that Battina had a wife and several children in North Carolina. Thurs day night they took Battina from his house and carried him to the woods, where he was stripped and tied to tree. He begged for mercy, but he was not allowed to escape before a hundred lashes had been laid on his back with a cowhide, which brought the blood each time. Yesterday Battina de- camped His second wife is heartbroken.

 in the Coal Regions.

He Gives His Views of the Great Strike
 in the Coal Regions.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The special com. mttee appointed to investigate the existing labor troubles ill Pennsylvania held its first formal meeting yesterday and organized by electing Representative Tillman as chairman. Representative BrUmm, of Pennsylvania, whose district is in the Reading region, made a preliminary statement with reference to the troubles there. He began by saying that the trouble in the coal regions is pri- marily the natural result of an over development of an industry stimulated during the war Befcre the war coal was mn,.d exclusively by individual operators, but since then the Reading corporation had absorbed nearly all the mines in his district. The three coal systens-the Lackawanna, the Lehigh and the Reading-has taken up nearly all of the coal lands in their respective regions Formerly the price of coal, rates of toll and wages, as well as the quantity of the output, in these systems had been regulated by what was known as the anthracite boal d trade but now, from the best information he could get, they were controlled by board con- sisting of representatives from these systems.
 A strike ill one section, he said, would hardly benefit another a great deal because by the terms of the arrangement the con- panies could not mine more than their quota They could however, aid each other if strikes occurred, and these strikes prevented over production. He was, therefore, of the opinion not only that this whole striking business, or lockout, as it should be called, was fostered by the Reading company, but that all of the cor poratiOns named were as deep in the mud as the Reading was in the mire.

A HERO OF SEDAN.

He Would Have Shot His AssaiIant Were
 1t Not for His Priestly Vows.
 CHICAGO, Feb. IA man wearing a white bandage over his face was a witness in Judge Woodmans court yesterday morning. He said his name was Henry Hotfmeyer, and gave his occupation as that of a night watch man. He claimed that George HIllier, wno is also night watchman, had struck him with loaded cane during quarrel.
 In his testimony Hottmeyer said that he would have shot Hillier but for the fact that he is to be ordained priest next week. Hoff- meyer is a graduate of the University of Got tingen, in Hanover. He studied seven years for the priesthood at Hamburg, and then entered the German army. On the field of Gravelotte he was promoted from the ranks to be second lieutenant. At Sedan he was s-ounded by a bullet from Gatling gun, and lay for four days among %, 600 other bleeding men. When Paris surrendered Lieut. Hoff- meyer was detailed there by Gen. Von Moltke During the riots of the commune he mounted his horse, but was taken with hemorrhage of the lungs, and was an invalid for many years.
 Hillier was fined S100.
