THE UBIQUITOUS COMPOUND LARD BiLL.-At
meeting Of the Grecnyillc Board Of Trade,
the following preamble and resolutions were
adopted:
"Whrrcas, The Agricultural Committee in
the House i'll recommending the passage of
the bill known as the Compound Lard Bill,
have shown desire to attack an important
industry of tho South, one which has enabled
our planters, and tenants on farms, most of
whom, as class, need all assistance possi-
bic, to realize large cash values"
Whereas, Cotton Seed Oil, purely rege.
table oil, free from disease, is q composite
part of said lard, and seems to he the ono
article objected to by advocates of the bill, is
pronounced by able ph6siciaus and chemists
as pure article of food, and should not bo
outlawed, but more largely uscp when COM
pounded with puro losf lard and leaf>E
In preference to the so-callcd pure hog Mf1,
made of unhealthy flesh, with no care for
the public health,' and
whereas, This legislation would benefit
one industry by destroying another, and
greatly incl ease the prico Of an Article of food
without increasing its value or healthfulness,
and enable corners to bc made and fct-
tous values to rule where it is now almost
impossible on account Of the abundant sup
ply obtainablc and
Whereas, The government docs not need
the rcvenrc proposed to be derived from
this industry:
"Bc it Resolrcd, That we object to that
part of the bill which proposes to tax COM
pound lard on cotton seed oil, but have no
objection to branding packages containing
this lard so that all may know its true nature
providing that tho so-called pure lard is
also branded that it may be known of what it
is made
1t was also resolved that each Senator and
Representative from this State be furnished
with copy of the resolutions. and urging
that that they do their utmost to prevent the
passage Of the bill.

and caused the death Of large number Of
people, early last Friday morning, has been
presented in many horrifying phases by the

The fret report tlAt reached us said that
200, men, women Ind children, had been
killed ou'righl al double that number
seriously injured, While the amount of pro-
perty destroyed coald hardly be estimated
it was so great. IL the midst of this terrible
calamity, with huudreds of people buried un-
der the debris, ths horrible report came that
fires had broken out in the ruins of the fa!-
len buildings, butning alive numbers of
women and children. The first reports re-
ceived were narrowing in the extreme,
but as despatch followed despatch
the horrors and numbers Of victims
