BURGAW, N. 4.
WHEREAS, there is so many appeals
for assistance coming before the ALI
ance from sufferers; and whereas, there
is no definite mode of help provided by

I'd. That each Sub-Alliance find it's
proportion of such losses by dividing
the loss by the number of Alliances in
the State and sending the same prompt

Sd. That we believe this would be
the best method for the Alliance to
and we ask that at the next
regular meeting of our State Alliance

adopted by which we can bear each
others burdens and so fulfil the law
of Christ.
4th. That we send this to The Pro
FARMER for publication as
view of the best method of dealing
with this matter.

RecnIIections OF Mnsin.

EDITOR HERALD :-ColumbiR audi
ences are becoming famous in
rather unenviable manner. You have
already had occasion to mention a0e
various times the unpleasant be-
havior of some people who while pro-
fessedly we'll bred are impolite enough
to talk in an audible tone during an
entertainment to the great discom-
fort of their sneighbOrs. This is true
in a greater or less degree of nearly
every audience at the opera house and
is getting to be great nuisance, the
more so because it Is done by people
who ought TO know better. AT the
Musin concert Friday night it be-
came so noticeable as to disturb one OF
the singers, at which her manager
sent word to the door keeper to have
the matter attended to.
A gentleman who sat in the infected
district gives this as fair sample OF
the conversation he was obliged to
listen to much against his will.
She-"Say, who do you think saw
to-day?n
He-"I bet know
She-"No you don'p'
Hc-"Yes / do"
IShe-"You never would guess"
He-"Well who?'
She-"O you knowW
He-"No, 1 don't, honestv'
She-"Well believe you do"
He--"Did she say anything about
me?"
She-"O she said something mighty
SWEET
He-"I don't believe it, heard she
had gone back on me-"
iShe-"You know you don't believe
that. She did say something awful
nice and I'll trade with you-lastl"
He-"I'm just dying to know what
it was, don't believe she told you
anything anyhow"
She-"Well never mind IL you can't
trade I'll tell you anyway, you mean
boy"
Then followed the customary lot
of gush which il characteristic OF
such conversations, and the band
didn't exactly play Annie Laurie but
little Parmater continued to sing
against the noise at her feet, while
looked about for some way to change
my seat without disturbing everyone
near me. A SUFFEREk

WAS 1T IMAGINATION AND ACCI-
DENT COMBINED!
Not. What Was IL?

The readers of THE HERALD were
informed a week or two since OF the
serious accident happening to Mr..
Wills Harris, near Goodwin, from
which his hands were 80 badly
wounded by gun shot that the left
hand was amputated and the thumb
and two fingers of the right hand
taf en- off. For several days after the
detached members were taken off
Mr.. Harris complained very much OF
their being buried In a cramped posi-
ton, and could not sleep because OF
the pain they gave him. In connec-
ton with this Mr.. J. X. p. Timmons,
of Timmons' Statio:., stated to a
HERALD representative, the follow
ing remarkable occurrence.
Several nights after the accident
Mr.. Timmons and others were watch
ing by the bedside of their wounded
friend, and his complaints of the un-
comfortable position of his buried
hand were so constant that some one
proposed to resurrect it and change
the position aud see il that would
do any good. This was agIed to,
but before leaving they asked Mr..
Harris to describe how his hand was
cramped, and she went into minute
description and particulars. He said
thing too small for it, and that it was
all crowded and pressed together.
He described the position of the
thumb and little finger, particularly,
and how the parts of the two hands
lay relatively to each other.
When the gentlemen went to where
1t was buried and dug it up, they
found the right hand in exactly the
cramped position described, and the
fingers of the left hand on top of it,
as also described.
But that is not all of the phenome-
non. The gentlemen dug up the
parts of hands and Strengthened the
fingers and put them all in larger
box. While doing so they dropped
the hand. When they returned to
the house, Mr.. Harris, who in the
meantime had fallen asleep, when
he walked up told them he had had a
dream, and narrating to them his
dl cam, he told them infinitely every
thing they had done. Which hand
they picked up first, how they first
Strengthened the little finger then the
thumb, and how they dropped the
hand, etc., through all the particulars.
Mr. Harris still complains that the
hand is very uncomfortable, but not
as much so as it was and the gentle
llCu WY AAO'h
the fact that it had become so cold
and stiff they could not return it to
| its normal position.
These facts will be vOuched for by
several unimpeachable witnesses.
The explanation is left for others.
THE HERALD inclines to the opinion
that it is mainly the work of the
imagination, and that the imagina-
ton accidentally hit upon the correct
position of the hand, and the guess as
to how that uncomfortable position
would be relieved was not a very diff
ficult thing. The HERALD inclines
to this opinion because IL has moth
ing to predicate any other opinion
on. II IL was not imagination, guess
work and accident all combined,
what was it2 Our columns are open
to any reasonable answer, we'll writ
ten and not too long

Evils of e.vanity Fair'' Marriages.

Galveston NeWs: ThOughtless,
haphazard and vanity fair marriages
entail inevitable fruits after their
kind. Where "bad begins worse re-
mains behind" Thus follow disap-
pointment, bitterness, distress, di-
vorce. The most heartless assertions
are becoming frequent. The hus-
band, whose faithful and affection
ate wife, is bound to him by tender
ties of fortitude, suffering and help
less children, slaps society in the
face, breaks its puny restraints as
cobwebs and pursues his own selfish
will with impunity. Society laughs
at this, and other graceful explorers
and adventures OF this sort continue
to pick their choice and to do as they
please. Call it ''fogyism" or what
you will, the old-fashioned method of
Watching over girls and of aiding
them in selecting their associates is
the only safe method for the girls.
Say what you may about fathers and
even mothers "inquiring into the
morals of youny men" who seek the
society of their daughters, there is no
safety or sense in not doing so.
