We take pleasue in publishing the
following preamble and resolutions
sent to US from the Bowen Mill ALI
ance:
"Whereas, We the Bowen Mill Alli-
ance, No. S92, believe in the great prin-
ciples as set forth in the constitution Of
our order
"Whereas, We as an Alliance have
positively refused heretofore to take
part in nominating candidates for
office, or endorsing men or measures,
believing it to be unconstitutional and
unwise
"Whereas, We believe the action Of
the Alliance in some counties of our
State in the recent campaign by the
clamor of some who hoped to gain for
themselves big public places by hold
ing out a scheme so enticing to the
masses who could not understand their
motives has been the prime cause OF
the defeat of our beloved Hampton:
"Whereas, We believe thata a majority
of the members of the Alliance if left
to exercise their own :preferment by
ballot would have done honor to whom
honor is due;
"Whereas, We believe the action of
the Legislature to be both unwise and
ungrateful; therefore be it
"Resolved, BY the Bowen Mill Alli-
ance, No. S92, that we hereby express
our disapproval, unanimously of the
action of the Legislature in failing to
re-elect Wade Hampton to the United
States Senate. r. E. Bowen, Sec'y.

THE FIRST IN THE STATE.
A Full-Fledged Colored Bank Started ut
Florence.
Especial to News and Courier. |

Especial to News and Courier
FLORENCE, December 31.-The South
Carolina Banking Association, the first
colored bank ever formed in this State,
was formally organized at Florence on
Tuesday night last urder very favora-
bic circumstances. The books of SUBJ
scription to the capital stock had only
been open for short While when nearly
four hundred of the authorized capital
of five hundred shares were found to
he taken. Only payment of $3.50, as
the first instalment ol the shares, was
required, but the stockholders were so
enthusiastic that they paid in nearly
500.
These shares are to be paid in month
ly instalments until fully paid up, and
then general banking business will be
started. A strong set of bylaws was
adopted, after wb;cn the following
were elected board of directors to
serve for one year, to WITT. f. Wilson,
D. NJ. Minus, +. L. Baxter, S. W. Will
liams, J. B. Middleton, E. H. Deas, W.
R. Jervey and F. D. Smith.
At a meeting of the board Of directors
held shortly after the adjournment Of
the stockholders meeting DR.. J. f.
Wilson, formerly of Charleston, was
unanimously chosen president Of the
bank and w. r. JerveY secretary and
treasurer.
DR.. Wilson is regarded here as a ca
pable financier, and such was the con-
fdence the citizens have in the honesty
and business tact of the head and in
the success of the enterprise that most
of our most prominent white citizens
have taken shares, one of them as high
as ten shares, with view of giving
help and encouragement to such laud-
able undertaking. The few remaining
shares will no doubt be taken in very
short while.

That "Tired Feeling"

The newspapers are having good
deal of fun nowadays over that tired
feeling,n so much spoken of in medical
advertisements, in connection with the
ill-health of females. 1t may be a
source ofhilarity to witty paragraphers,
but not so to suffering women, who by
overwork, and a disregard OF the laws
of health, have lapsed into q condition
bordering on invalidism. What most
women need is to be relieved OF some
of the slavish work that is piled on
them, and a free, but judicious use OF
streng ghtening torics, such as r. :. +.
(PricSly Ash, Poke Root and Potas-
sium), the greatest blood purifier and
invigorator in use. Superb as builder
up Of women, bringing back lost energy
to the body, and color to faded cheeks, re-
storing the appetite, and thus renewing
in her that healthy vitality long lost.

as rheumatism, Syphilis, Gout Scro-
fula, and all ulcerous affections, even
vanquishing that melancholy enemy
of man, Dys: epsia. All druggists sell

THE FINAL ACCOUNTING.
The Agricultural Department Affairs For
mally Transferred to Clemson College,
iColumbia Register.


DR.. P. H. E. Sloan, treasurer of the
Board of Trustees of the Clemson Agri-
cultural College, was il Columbia yes
terday for the purpose of receiving the
transfer to the Trustees of Clemson
College of all of the property pertaining
to the Department of Agriculture. An
inventory of everything had been pre-
viously made out by Chief Clerk A. f.
! Gonzales and it was as complete .nd
as accurate as possible, containing
everything from the least to the great
est. DR.. Sloan, with Messrs. Gonzales
and Withers, the clerks Of the old de-
partment, checked off everything in the
offices, the laboratory and the museum,
and receipted for the same. The inven-
tory contaiued several thousand ar
tices, and it was necessarily the
work of many hours to make the trans
fer.
Colonel Butler was not present at all,
Mr.. Gonzales representing him. He
will be here, however, to-day on private
business, after the settlement of which
he will return to his farm in Aiken
County and devote himself once more to
farming pursuits, which he will no
doubt conduct with his accustomed
success.
The laboratory is now in charge of
Professor Hartin, who has been elected
Professor of Chemistry in the Clemson
College, and the analyses of fertilizers
will be made here for the present under
his supervision, with the aid of the
present assistants, Mrs. G. w. Sims and
H. Shiver.
It will be great qualification to the
people of Columbia and to many others
throughout the State to learn that it
has been decided to leave here perma-
neatly, the magnificent museum which
has been collected with so much care
and labor by the late department, and
that when the present building in
which it is located shall be sold some
provision will be made for its location
either there or elsewhere.
The trustees of the Clemson College,
meet in the Governors Office this morn
ing to decide as to the manner in which
the phosphate business of the depart
ment shall be conducted. 1t is said to
be likely that Mr.. J. L. Withers, assis-
tant clerk of the old department, will
be appointed to collect the privilege
tax on fertilizers, having as his Office
the one heretofore occupied by Mr.. A.
E. Gonzales as Chief Clerk under Colo
mel A. P. Butler.
The weather service remains for the
present at least, in the charge of Cap
tain Angus ?. Brown, whose long and
faithful service in the Department of
Agriculture are we'll known throughout
the State, and his friends all unite in
the hope that this branch OF service
will be continued and that he will re-
main at the head of it.
Chief Clerk A. f. Gonzale, retires
with his chief, Colonel Butler, and ex-
poets to go shortly to New York to en-
gage in business. In his retirement he
carries with him the best wishes Of the
newspaper fraternity, all of whom have
recognized in him one of the most cour-
teous and obliging, as we'll as one ofthe
most efficient, officials in the public
service.

FIRE IN THE FOUNTAIN CITY.
A Hundred ThousandsDollars. Destroyed
by the Flames.
Especial TO News and Courier.


AUGUSTA, GA, December 3l.-Au
gusta was visited by the second $l0O,0W
fire during the month Of December al
5 o'clock this morning. The handsome
and almost new Kahr's brick building
three stories high, with an ornamental
iron front, extending from Broad tc
Ellis street, second door east Of Camp
bell street, was completely destroyed
by fire just before dawn to-day. Where
the fire originated and how it caught
is unknown.
The first floor Of the building on
Broad street was occupied by L. A. r.
Reab, wholesale liquor dealer, who
had over 500 barrels of ~hiskey stored
away in the store. The second and
third floors overhead were tenanted by
James G. Bai!ie & Co.'s carpet and
household furnishing establishment.
on the Ellis street side the ground
floor was occupied by \. kahrs, the
owner of the property, who conducted
a wholesale grocery business. The Sec
ond and third floors were used as q
boarding house, of which Mrs. Mary
E. Teppy was proprietress.
There was q delay in sounding the
alarm and when the fire department
reached the scene the flames had got
ten full headway and were beyond
their control. 1t was only a short
while before the fire spread and en-
veloped the entire building from top to
bottom and from. end to end. 1t was
hard work, and all the firemen could
do to fight the fire and keep it from
spreading to the handsome ,O'Antig-
nae building adjoining, which had a
narrow escape.
About half an hour after the fire had
been discovered about sixty feet of the
west brick wall Of the destroyed build
ing collapsed. The wall fell on the gro
cery warehouse of Lofiin & Myers and
crushed in about fifty feet of the build
ing, causing heavy loss of groceries.
Mr.. L. A. R. Reab lost about 500 bar
rels of whiskey, which filled the air
with alcohol, and it almost made one
drunk to stand by and inhale the odor.
Not dollar of goods were saved as
everybody was afraid to enter the build
ing on account of so much combustible
matter being stored in it.
The destruction was complete. The
building belonged to Mr.. n. Kahrs, aud
cost him $50 ono. hut hn only l~- e1".
900 insurance, and be had a 5000
stock of groceries, with only s., 900 in
surance on it.
Mr.. L. A. R. Reab had $4,000 worth
of whiskey in his store; all lost, and
only covered by 1000 insurance.
James G. Bailie & Co. had a $4,000
stock of carpets, bat only carried s., 200
insurance.
Mrs. Teppy, proprietress of the board
ing house, will not save a thing, and
she had her rooms all well-furnisheu.
Her loss is about $4,000 without dol
lar Of insurance.
The partial destruction of Loflin &
Myers ware house, and the loss of some
goods by water, will increase the losses
$4,000.
Fireman P. e. Phillips was badly
burnt in jumping of roof when the
walls collapsed. He broke 10 limbs, but
it is feared that he was internally in
jured.

Ninety Thousand for atlanta.

The United States census, taken June
1st, gave Atlanta a population in round
figures Of $1,000, but the directory
canvass, made by careful and expert
enced men and taken five months
later, shows the population at this
time to be S4,6iO within the city limits.
Add to this the suburban inhabitants
and we find a total of considerably over

Cows and Workingnen.
+ From the Labor Tribune.

Every time a COW moves her tail to
switch Il fly she eNerts force of three
pounds. In the course Of the summer
single COW waists 100000 pounds Of
energy. The COWS of America throw
away power enough to move every
piece OF machinery in the world.
So reports statistically inclined eX-
change. The queerest feature suggested
by this figure work is that no stump
speaker during the presen: political
campaign has claimed that his party
if successful at the polls, will utilize this
waste for the benefit ofthe working
man.

Instinct in Cakemaking.

''Cakemakers are born, not educat-
ed, is grandmother's pet saying, and
judging from the limited number OF
cakemakers found among intelligent
women there seems to be some truth in
it. To bake cake successfully some
thing more than a mere rule is re-
quired. Rules mean that all ingredi-
ents shall be in the same condition and
OF uniform quality. This is impossible.
Sugar and -four are more or less damp,
and then there is a difference in the
quality Of eggs. Better go without
cake than to make it with strong flaw
ored butter or eggs unfit for table use.
Using the so called cooking butter is
where the inexperienced cook fails The
successful cakemaker must have GER
tain instincts for conditions, she must
know by the feel of the batter when it
is just right. 1t is only by practice and
close observation that it is possible to
master this branch of education; the
best rules must be followed and the
different conditions of the ingredients
