An epidemic of tragedy has prevail.
ed in New York for the last ten days.
First mother, driven to desperation by
poverty, poisons her three children, two
of them fatally; then brutal negro cuts
his wife's throat with a razor for fear she
disclose his attempted murder Of her sis.
ter; next young girl seeks to kill her
unfaithful lover by driving bonnet pin
into his temple. On Monday the police
arrested drunken Irishmsn for delibe-
rately killing his wife with razor be-
cause she would not give him money to
keep up his spree, and on Tuesday wo.
man, crazed by the fear of poverty, threw
her twelve.year-old son and herself out
of fourth.story window in order 'sto
terminate their lives in this cruel world"
In the meantime the Courts have two
murder cases on hand, the most conspic-
uous being the trial of Francis W. Pitt.
man for the murder of his eldest daugh-
ter, Rachel. Added to all this is the
circumstance of a policeman assaulted by
three young desperadoes on one of the
principal thoroughfares of the city, and

Now for an Agricultural College.

The bequest to the State by the late
Thomas G. Clemson, of the "Fort Hip
place, the former residence of John O.
Calhoun, removes one of the most serious
difficulties in the way of q real and prac-
teal agricultural college on the Missis.
:sippi plan. It provides the land, and as
good land as there is in the State, beauti-
fully situated, convenient for access by
two railroads, with every advantage of
duality and variety of soil, healthfulness
Of climate and water supply.
It likewise removes the very serious
obstacle of the contention for the location
of the college, likely to have arisen in
the event of the adoption of bill to Gre.
ate one. No county is likely to give q
tract like Fort Hill; no county can offer
"a place hallowed by the associations con.
.nected with the home of Mr.. Calhoun.
No other spot offers the opportunity it
gives for an imperishable memorial OF
the States greatest statesman on the spot
where he spent his happiest days.
Those farmers who demand an agricul-
tural college for the training of farmers
now have their opportunity. Let them
move now and make their power 30 felt

without Food 50 Days.

Mr.. George Allen, who for many years
has lived at Montmorenci, died on Sum
day evening last at 8 o'clock from starva.
tion, having gone without particle of
food for thirty.seyen days. We under.
stand he had been a great sufferer for q
long time with complaint Of the stom-
ach, and everything he ate gave him
intense pain. He would take no medi.
cine, and taking notion that he could
starve the disease out, he commenced to
fast-taking nothing but water-and for
thirty.seven days nothing else entered
his stomach. On the thirty.seventh day
he became unconscious and his family
commenced to give him stimulants and
food in very small quantities, but it was
too late. he died two days later, or just
thirty.nine days from the commencement
of the fast. Mr.. Allen thought by fast.
ing forty days he could starve out the
disease, but he miscalculated on his
powers of endurance. He was about go
years of age, was an intelligent and we'll
educated man, and his neighbors epeak
in the highest terms of him as friend
and neighbor.-Aiken Journal and Re.

After holding the office of The Chief
Justice fourteen years, the late Morrison
r. Waite died q poor man. He left a
home for his family, and 50, 900 insurance,
but out ofhis salary of $10,500 a year
nothing had been saved.
In the City of Mexico, not long since,
they tried mans courage by shutting
him up in room with six rattlesnakes.
At the end of six hours they opened ths
door and he WAS standing on O window
sill, and the snakes had fought and kill
ed each other.

The tin mine at Kings Mountain
promises to yield well. It is thought

- During the past year 1893 900 has
been realized from cabbages shipped
from Wythe County, Va, in carload lots
alone. In addition it is estimated that
the railroads realized about $24 900 from
the freight on these cabbages. This is a
handsome sum to 60 to one county for
an "infant industry"
The Laurens Adusrtistr says, "a
somewhat novel case happened in this
county before a Trial Justice. After
hearing the testimony the jury decided
thesissues but refused to render their
verdict, until their fes was paid. It
seems that one of the litigants was ire
sponsible, and the other party believing
in the success of his cause, refused to pay
the jury and is now convert to the
Anti.Trial Justice party"
The Vermont Republicans send a
delegation to the Chicago convention
which is understood to be for Blaine, first,
last and all the time. This is significant,
and the example will be followed by
many other States. It is not improbable
that MI. Blaine's strength in the conven-
tion on the first ballot will be greater
| than that Of any one else.
"A Maine newspaper says that Mrs.
Esther Potter, of Long Ridge, who has
just died after long illness, from con.

dren, the youngest a babe. She could
not bear to think of leaving the little
one, and constantly prayed that it might
60 with her when she died. A few days
ago, when it was plain that she was about
to die, she called her family around her
and bade them goodbye, and then,
clinging to othe baby, prayed that j! saight

parently, but, after q kiss from its dying
mother, closed Its eyes and in five
minutes was dead.

New YORK, April IA syndicate,

secured the exclusive right for the South

reducing vegetable fbres to paper stocks
with the intention of establishing mills

process to reduction to paper of cotton
stalks and seed hulls now practically
worthless. The promoters of the enter.

An Important Opinion.

The following circular will be read
with interest, containing as it does the
opinion of the Attorney General on the
taxing of bank stock:
OFFICE COMPTROLLER GENERAL,
COLUMBIA, S. o., April 4, 1888.
A question as to the proper manner OF
assessing bank stocks and banking capi-
tai for taxation having arisen, the fol.
lowing questions were submitted to the
Attorney General for his opinion, to Wit:
elbow should banks be taxed?"
Should they be taxed on their capital
stock alone, or should the surplus be
also returned for taxation 2"
The Attorney General decides as fol-
lows:
'sMy opinion is, that all shares of the
shareholders in any bank or banking
association should be listed against them
individually at their true value in money,
and this valuation should include all
surplus or extra moneys, capital, and
every species of personal property, Of
value, owned or in the possession of any
such bank" Gen. Stats, Section 1913.
"It matters not that such surplus OF
capital may have been invested in United
States bonds or other non.taxable securi.
ties"
"Under Section 5,219 of the Revised
Statutes Of the United States, it Is dc.
clared that nothing in said statuets shall
prevent all the shares in any association
from being included in the valuation Of
the personal property of the owner OF
holder of such shares in assessing taxes
imposed by the authority of the State
within which the association is located, =
etc.
"My opinion is, that, under this sec
tion, when construed with the other pro.
visions of the United States banking
laws, that the State has the authority te
impose tax upon the actual value, in
money, of the shares of the shareholders
without reference to the character of the
securities in which the capital or surplus
of any bank may be invested" Var
Allen vs.. The Assessors, 3 Wal, 595.
eThe President and Cashier of every
such bank or banking association should
be required to make the return as requir
ed by Section POI of the General Stat
utes.
The respective County Auditors vii
Immediately, upon the receipt of thit
circular, extend the information above
given to the banks and banking institu
tions, and they will require allsuch cor
porations to revise the returns made BY
them, taking care to ascertain, as near a!
they possibly can, the true money value
ing their surplus, without reference te
the character of the securities in which
the capital or surplus may beinvested.'
As soon as this revision is completed
they will report the fact to this Office.
Section 239, General Statutes, give.
the Auditors the authority to ascertain
values. J. s. WERNER.
