The Outcome of Organization.
From the Monache Tidings. I

From the Monache Tidings.]
The organizations of the knights of
Labor and its kindred societies, have
been feared more by capitalists on ac-
count of the intelligence they bring to
the laboring element, than for the
organization and formidable members.
The Knights, the Farmers Alliance,
and other organizations may become
disorganiZed and disbanded, but the
enlightenment they have evolved will
reorganize on still more progressive
platforms, more firmly uniting ali
trades and all people on a more econo-
mic basis of equity, until all govern
ments as now organized will be aban-
doned. Once justice is done between
men, people will be born less and less
inclined to rob others for livelihood.
Most of our runconscionablel legal thieves
and brutal murderers are hereditary
criminals against others rights. The
intelligence of the age is more rapidly
progressive than the laboring element
of the country is aware of.

FAD OF BosToS's DUsKY BELLIES
They are Learning How to Take the kink
out of Their Hair.
boston GIobe,1

The colored women of this city have
learned that it is possible to take the
klnk out Of their hair, and there is quite
sensation over the discovery. The
rush to have crisp locks slaughtered is
becoming general, although but few of
those who have successfully been
smoothed out are willing to admit that
their hair was ever otherwise than
straight and glossy. The fad as yet
has not reached the male sex, and at
the Sunday evening meeting of the a.
NJ. E. church one Of the deacons warn
ed the sisters against their sinful pride
in attempting to improve on the Lc--tazssz
handiwork. He was followed by ga
aged sister, who said:
IF God had intended US to have
straight hair He would have given it
TO us in the beginning. God never in
tended it, and I, for one, shall be con-
tented with what I've got. It's a sin
before the Lord and vanity to have
your hair Strengthened"
The idea was introduced by young
colored woman from Virginia. She
herself has glossy bang and back hair
as straight as that of the late Sitting
Bull. She says her own hair was for
merly crisp and kinky, but that an old
Canadian woman told her how to make
it straight, and this information she is
now imparting for consideration. The
customer is told first to wash her hair
and come with it we'll dried. She does
so, and then the operation begins. "A
preparation that is amber-colored and
Of the consistency of cream is taken
from large jar and rubbed thoroughly
into the hair, and where it was entirely
lustreless before it begins to assume a
gloss.
This is rubbed so thoroughly into the
scalp that none Of the hairs can fail to
have received a portion. Then vIgo-
rous brushing is restored to, and the
short hair begins to lengthen. IF it
were an inch long before, it is full two
inches long, and if before it had been
done up in what old fashioned South
ern people term "plaits," it is now
ready TO be rolled into a loose coil at !.
the back. The operation takes about
four hours and is permanent in its
effects. Itgives the colored woman a
very Indian like appearance, and the
few who will admit having been treat
ed claim they did it merely to make the
labor Of combing their hair so much
the easier. One of them said: "One
thing know, and that is that it's ter
ribly convenient to have straight hair,
never before realized what blessing
it was. Before, dreaded the task of
combing it, and now don't mind 1t at Z
ALL" Hair Strengthening promises to
be the fad for the winter among the
colored women of Boston. -

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-healrh 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 a condition
bordering on invalidism. What most
women need is to be relieved of some
of the slavish work that is piled on
them, and free, but judicious use Of
strengthening tonics, such as ?. ?. ?.
(Prickly 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

THE FIRST IN THE STATE.
A Full-Fledged Cclored Bank Started at
Florence.
Especial to News and Courier I

Special 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 under very favora-
BILE circumstances. The books of sub
scription to the capital stock had only
been open for a short while when nearly
four hundred of the authorized capital
of five hundred shares were found to
be taken. Only payment of $3.50, as
the first instalment on 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 which the following
were elected a board of directors to
serve for one year, to wit: J. E. 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 stockholder~' meeting DR.. J. E.
Wilson, formerly of Charleston, was
unanimously chosen president of the
bank and W. R. Jerrey secretary and
treasurer.
DR.. Wilson is regarded here as ca
pable financier, and such was the con-
fidence 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 10 doubt be taken in very
short while

he wouldn't. He said he'd beat the

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

DR.. P. H. F. Sloan, treasurer of the
Board of Trustees Of the Clemson Agrl-
cultural College, was in 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. Z.
Gonzales and it was as complete and
as accurate as possible, containing
everything from the least to the great
est. DR.. Sloan, with Messrs. Gonzales
and Withers, the clerks of theoold de-
partment, checked off Everything IN the
offices, the laboratory and the museum,
and receipted for the same. The inven-
tory contained several thousand ar
ticles, 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.
1t 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-
nently, 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. It 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 P. 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. E. 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.

learning that lecture was to be de-

our friends determined to hear the lee

Entering the hall separately they
took seats apart. AS the lecturer pro-
ceeded his utter ignorance of America
soon became manifest to the three
Americans. Finally, however, state
nlent concerning the size of Ameri-
cans was too absurd to be endured in
silence. The speaker had barely time
to conclude a sentence asserting that
Americans are proverbially short Of
stature, never exceeding at the utmost
five feet ten inches, when Mr.. Robin

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

AUGUSTA, GA, December 3l.-Au-
gusta was visited by the second slO0,OOO
fire during the month of December at
5 o'clock this morning. The handsome
and almost new Kahr's brick building,
three stories high, with ali ornamental
iron front, extending from Broad to
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 whiskey stored
away in the store. The second and
third floors overhead were tenanted by
James G. Bailie & Co.'S carpet and
household furnishing establishment.
On the Ellis street side the ground
floor was occupied by n. Kahrs, the
owner of the property, Who conducted
a wholesale grocery business. The Sec
onG and third floors were used as a
boarding house, of which Mrs. Mary
E. Teppy was proprietress.
There was 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 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 Lofin & Myers and
crushed in about fifty feet of the build
ing, causing a 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 a 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, and
cost him $4,000, but he only has Sl0,-
900 insurance, and be had a $4,000
stock of groceries, with only $1,000 in
surance on it.
Mr.. L. A. R. Reab had $4,000 worth
of whiskey in his store; all lost, and
only covered by $4,000 insurance.
James G. Bailie & Co. had a $4,000
stock of carpets, but only carried $1,000
insurance.
Mrs. Teppy, proprietress of the board
ing house, will not save a thing, and
she had her rooms all well-furnished.
Her loss is about $1,000 without a dol
lar of insurance.
The partial destruction of Lof1in &
Myers ware house, and the loss of some
goods by water, will increase the losses
$1,000.
Fireman P. G. Phillips was badly
burnt iii jumping of roof when the
walls collapsed. He broke no limbs, but
