Newsy Letter from Jordan.

JORDAN, April IL have been put
ting of writing for some time, hoping
to gather some news for your valuable
paper, but all to no purpose. I can
gather nothing of interest.
You know we have no business en-
terprises here such as oil mills, broom
and lye factories, etc, and in fact
nothing at all to boom the place; and
all we can boast OF is good farming
material.
The farmers report q very good
stand of com; cotton is just being
planted. The rains have improved the
oat crop wonderfully.
Mrs. Frank Webber, of Shelton, is
visiting at Mr.. 0. Z. Webber's.
Mr.. c. F. Avant, of SUNNI erton,
spent Sunday here.
Miss Sue Davis, of the Columbia
Female College, spent Easter at home.
Mr.. J. H. Burgess has just COM
menced his new dwelling, which will
when completed add much to the
looks of Jordan.
The second quarterly meeting of
the Foreston circuit will be held at
this place on the third Saturday and
Sunday of this month.
Mrs W. T. Sprott is convalescent.
Master Claude Lesesne, who has
been sick for some time, is still very
i'll.
With many good wishes for the
TINES, Z.

ships:

A number of appeals We're heard and
acted on.
Mr.. James E. Davis thought the assess
ment Of country property in Manning town
ship was too low, but rs compared with
other townships he desired either that this
| be lowered or the others raised.
Maj. H. p. Richardson said most Of the
land in Fulton was swamp OF inferior land,
there being not more than $4,000 acres Of
the valuable red land in that township.
Mr.. Davis moved that the assessment Of
Fulton be raised 20 per cent. and that the
assessment Of the other townships remain
| the same rs reported to this board.
! Maj. Richardson protested against any
such indiscriminate raising. He thought
the assessment should be raised on certain
kinds, and to leave other parts as made. Mr..
N. B. Barrow moved an, amendment that
the assessment be raised 3Sa per cent. The
amendment was rejected. 31r. J. H. Nc
Knight amended that swamp lands be raised
in Fulton from 50 cents to Sl.G0 IN acre,
and increase the balance 2G per cent. [.sil
on table. The original motion to increase
the assessment in Fulton 90 per cent. Was
then carried.
A motion was made to reduce Calvary 10
Der cent. Laid on table.
Friendship was raised 10 per cent.
A motion was made to raise st. Panls 20
per cent, but was amended to raise it only
10 per cent. The amendment prevailed.
Santee Was not changed.
ST. Marks was raised 10 per cent.
Concord and Sammy Swamp We're not
changed
st. James was raised 10 per cent.
Manning and Mt. Zion were not changed.
Brewington was raised 10 per cent.
Plowdens Mill, Harmony, and Midway
were not changed.
New Zion was reduced 10 per cent.
Douglas and Sandy Grove We're moi

averages for the various townships stand

A Child Burned to Death.

BoSASzA, April s.-The two-year-
old child of Tyra Tisdale, colored,
WIS burned to DEATH last Thursday.
The old story: shut up in the house
alone, mother gone, no one near, the
house is burnt, and everything in
ashes before it is found out. We un-
derstand that the child was almost
entirely consumed. A portion of the
intestines only could be found.
We understand that the youthful
pair who were defeated in marrying
a week ago, made an attempt again
last Friday, and another on Sunday,
but they are at this writing still en-
joying single blessedness, and we are
informed that it is now given up for
good and all. The course Of youth
fui love doesn't always run smooth.
Cotton is now being planted

PURE FOOD PRODUCTS.

With the perversity characteristic
Of the partisan press il is reported
that the Ocala convention passed a
resolution denouncing the pure lard
bill. This is absolutely false. The
Ocala convention adopted a resolu-
tion condemning the Conger bill,
which is entitled, "a bill (H. b. H.
$685. defining lard, also imposing a
tax upon, and regulating the manu-
facture and sale, importation and ex-
portation Of compound lard" This
bill contemplates the manufacture
and sale Of adulterated lard. The
convention also endorsed the pure
food bill, which Of course includes
pure lard.
The action of the convention is
therefore directly the opposite Of what
il IS reported to be, and this is just
about as near the truth as the parti-
san press ever gets in whatever
relates to anything done by the alli-
anCe.
The advocate., 1890-12-31

WE have received resolutions from
several alliances in condemnation Of
the Federal election bill. These come
from men who have formerly been
members Of both Che old parties. The
measure is regarded as un-American,
and not in the interest Of honest gov
ernment. We do not wish to again
begin the publication of resolutions,
and unless in very exceptional cases
we shall not publish anything Of this
kind. 1t opens the door TO an over
whelming food which we cannot pos
sibly find room for, and our only
remedy is to treat all alike in regard
to this class of communications. If
our friends could see the overwhelm-
ing mass of resolutions that come to
our table they would at once see the
utter impOssibility Of finding roc m for
them, even if we should devote the
entire paper to them. We are there
fore forced to reject them all and
treat them all alike in this matter.
