Who are Eligible ?

The amended act Of the Legislature In refer
ence to the Incorporation OF the Farmers
Bank, reads as follows:
Directors must be citizens OF the State and
hold not less than five shares OF stock
When the bank was organized, by the cleo
tion OF directors some three years ago, the po
ltical impress Of the Alliance was made upon
the government OF the bank, and men were
elected to dlrectorships who were not, under
the above law, eligible to the place, and even
as the bank now stands organized, we believe
that four out Of the nine directors are ipelgi-
BILE. These four who are not eligible. areper-
haps among the best business men on the
board, and no shadow OF reflection Is made
upon them. The question Is raised without
reference to their ability, or their thorough
knowledge OF good banking principles. The
law says that a man 10 be eligible must hold
not Tess than five shares Of stock" If they go
into office Illegally, to what extent do they
impair the legal acts of the bank?
Wecontend that no man S;so does not hold
five shares of stock Is eligible?
We contend that no man who has sub
scribed for five shares for which he has not
fully paid, Is eligible.
We contend that any man who pledges his
paid up stock as security Tor eighty per cent.
OF Its face value surrenders his stock and is.
therefore. Ineligible TO the office Of director.
Even II such person is not ineligible, it Is, we
believe, contrary to good banking law for any
stock holder TO borrow money from any bank
OF which he is u director.
Another matter: The ownership of stock
by one person does not authorize that owner
to give his proxy 10 any one who Is not him
self stockhoider. One who Is not stock
holder himself IT, we believe, legally denied
the right TO vote. or to cast the vote of anoth-
er, ut general meeting OF stockholders.

A Mutual Insurance Scheme.

Mr. David Aiken has been employed by the
general agent OF the Farmers Mutual Fire In
surance Association of Chester. :. G., to make
q canvass OF this county and take applica-
tions for insurance.
The general agent agrees to call meeting
OF the applicants about Saleday In December
and organize an association for this county,
provided Mr.. Aiken gets up S2OO,O0O In appi-
cations.
York county, along with Chester, Lancas-
ter and Fairfield, have already been organ
iZed and there are some half dozen or more
counties being worked now with view of Or
gapHIng associations in them.
Mr.. Aiken has been over about half OF D.
beville county only. and has written, up TO
date, Sl32, 900 in applications.
The organization Is for mutual insurance
against fire, wind and lightning, and 1t pro-
poses 10 furnish insurance to lis members at
actual cost. Each member is to pay an initia-
lion fee OF filiy cents per 500 on the amount
of insurance he proposes to carry. and the
losses by fire, wind or lightning, are TO be
paid on the assessment plan. each policy 10
be assessed pro rata on It's face value. The
amount OF policies will be limited TO Two
thirds or three-iourths OF the value OF the
property on which they are carried. Once In
sured, the policy holder is at no further eX-
pense, except upon the levy of such assess
ments as may be rendered necessary In case
OF losses. Each county association Is separate
and distinct from other counties, ana is re-
sponsible only for losses OF members wlihln
It's own territory. There are TO be no salarled
officers and 1t is intended that the premium
OF fifty cents per 500 shall pay all expenses.

After O long illness Rev. w. II. Hanckel'
rector OF Trinity church. AbbevilIe, died Mon
day evening. November 81, 1892. at half'pas'
seven o'clock. aged, it 1t thought, about Sixty
five years
He leaves q widow, son and a daughter,
who were with him and ministered 10 MIN IN
the sickness which ended in death.
Mr.. Hanckel had long been minister OF
the gospel. in the Episcopal church, and ior
seven or eight years he was rector OF the par
ish at Abbeville.
MIR. Hanckel was pure in heart, gentle In
spirit, without guile, honest and truthful, ana
strongin the faith.
In mis- daily walk and conversation he en-
emplified those Christian graces and virtues
which brought TO him the respect OF the
world.
In the last years of his life Mr.. Hanckel was
greatly afflicted In body and estate.
In the year 1873 the Republicans repudiated
Large per cent. Of the State House bonds, IN
which he had much invested.
Later. because Of his good heart, and his
confiding nature, he was led into business
transactions by which he lost heavily.
Years ago he received an injury to his eyes
ITOIu "ulCu uC hONSi ~
which he suffered greatly.
Afterward he had the grip and for year he
has not been we'll man, and to that disease
may now be attributed his death.
While 1t is true that he partially recovered
from the attack, he stu suffered from pains
in the head which grew worse from day
to day, and when the health Of the
whole physical man gave way he yielded his
life to the Reaper.
The people Of the village had long known OF
his illness, and when the church bell tolled
on Monday night, erybody knew that the
soul Of our departed friend had left Its earth
ly temple for the scenes and the joys which
await the ransomed sons OF men.
Yesterday at halt-past twelve o'clock the fu'
neral services were conducted in the EpiscC'
pal church by Rev. Porcher and Rev. McCul'
Tough.
The great body of the people assembled in
the church to await the services, but his con-
gregation, in affectionate remembrance OF
their beloved pastor. and as testimonial OF
their tender regard for the bereaved. assem-
bed at the parsonage, and in procession fol-
lowed the family of the deceased TO the
church from whose home and fireside loving
hands tenderly borne him away.
When the funeral services were concluded,
the body was taken to the G., c. 4 n. depot, to
which place his congregation followed him to
await the Charleston train, which would take
the body to the family buryIpg ground in
Charleston.
AS the assembled audience left the church
each individual had something to say in love
and kindness for the Christian gentleman
who had gone out from amongst US.

THE METRIC SYSTEM.
Efforts of the Decimal Association to
Introduce 1t in England.

Efforts of the Decimal Association to
Introduce 1t in England.
The new Decimal Association, whose
headquarters are at Botolph House, East
CHEAP, London has mem0rialiZ9d the Lords
of the committee of council Oh education on
the ACCESSIBILITY Of taking an important step
in connection with the introduction Of the
metric system in England. The May
examinations OF the science and art depart
ment are known through the length and
breadth of the land, and much has been
done by means Of these examinations to
pOpularlZe and extend technical study.
The memorial which has been presented
recommends that in certain of the science
examinations alternative questions be given
In future. based on the metric system OF
measurement, which may be taken at the
option Of the candidate III lieu OF questions
based on feet and inches
In this way, the large and intelligent
class of candidates for certificates of the
department will be induced to learn the
metric system. The committee of council
on education has already ordered that the
principles of this system should be taught
in the higher standards of all elementary
schools: and one of the steps taken by tile
School Board of London and other towns In
consequence OF this order has been to fur
nish the pupil teachers and advanced schol-
ars with lockwood rules, having a decimal
lied inch scale and metric scale in juXta-
position. In addition to this, cOlored wall
charts Of the metric weights and measures
are used, and in this way the rising genera
tion will to great extent be prepared for
the introduction Of these weights and meas
ures which is expected in the near future.

KISSED THE CO0LY.
Young Wife's Perfectly Awful Blum
der.



A case Of mistaken identity has just come
TO light. which took place on North j street
a short time ago. 1t appears that a young
married couple were in the habit of affec-
tionately kissing each other whenever they
parted or met, and the place was usually in
the spacious hallway. Recently the young
husband was out little later than usual,
and, in fact did not return until nearly
midnight. The wife sat waiting for him In
the rear parlor. The hall was long and the
darkness impeuetrabe. Suddenly a foot
step was heard and OF course was supposed
TO be that of the absent lord. Hestaing
however, lest there might be a mistake,
the wife waited for a knock on the door
to open, which was the case in the lat
ter, and without longer waiting, rushed
frantically into the arms of the intruder
and without stopping to see whether right
or wrong, gave him loving embrace, and,
it Is reported, six smaeks in one breath.
But OIL what a difference on realizing the
truthfulness of the situation. The intruder
was no other than the family wash China
man. who had been late on his rounds on
account of the day being Saturday. The
intense modification, surprise and defeat on
the part of the wife, and surprise and
doubtless delight on the part Of the celestial
that followed, is something that is left for
the reader 10 imagine.
The exit of the Chinaman in point Of quick
ness on account of the enraged wife, was
never before Pqualed in Fresno, nor did
tears of disgust ever fall more eopiousy
after he had left.

This feeling was considerably shared by
the Republicans, who regarded 1t as the
herald Of victory for Harrison.
at the Manhattan Club on Stock ton
street the handsome rooms were crowded
with Democrats, who gathered about Oper-
aL0r Cunningham and listened breathlessly
10 the magic ticks Of his telegraphic instru-
ment. Some little annoyance was expressed
when halt was called for the longwinded
speeches Of The Chicago orators but the
crowd was generally g0odhum0red and not
man present doubted for a moment that
Grover Cleveland was to be the nominee,
but there was considerable difference Of
opinion about the second name on the
ticket, and Seer etaTy SPOTS was quietly at
