An UNAVOIDABLE SHOWING.

Mr.. L. Nj. Gillian. treasurer of the Lodge
OF the Progressive Benefit Order here. is
in receipt of a letter from MIR. Arthur
Loyd, the receiver of the order in Boston,
which gives faint hopes of anything bu; a
small return 10 the holders OF certificates
for the money they have paid IN. This or
der Is one of the short-term assessment
companies, which protested TO be able to
nav back TO the members In few
months much larger sum than
they paid in. In November last eleven
members OF the lodge here whose
certificates had matured were paid oil in
full. but those whose certificates matured
q few DAYS later received nothing. The
eleven Petersburg members thus paid oil
were probably the last who received any
benefit. In his letters, the receiver states
that 81. coo certificates have feen issued,
but that only thu SUN of $4,000 is
IN the treasury for distribution.
This would make less than a
dollar dividend on each certificate Tor the
amount paid IN. The receiver claims that
all of the assessments recently paid are TO
be counted In as the assets of the order,
and, therefore. liable tor distribution as
dividends. Mr.. Gillian is of opinion that
the number OF certificates is largely over
stated, as many of the old members have
dropped out. At any rate. the matter is
one of interest to many people in Peters
burg.

A Canal Reopened.

Health is largely dependent upon regular
habit of body. The bowels act as an important
canal for the carrying of waste matter Of the
system. They. together with the kidneys and
pores, are outlets for debris whose presence is
fatal TO the body's well-beinR. Hostetter S
Stomach Bitters is no violent purgative, but a
gentle laxative admirably adapted to the wants
of the constipated. 1t never gripes and wrenches
the intestines as ali drastric cathartics do, but
produces an action akin TO that of an effort Of
nature. Biliousness, Indigestion. with their as
ISOLATE manifestation. costiveness, are speedily
and completely remedied by this fine corrective,
which also conquers malaria. sick headache,
kidney and rheumatic trouble, and checks
premature decay.--dd.

The Appropriations for Repairs De-
clared inadequate.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Commodore
Farquhar, chief of the bureau Of yards and
docks, in his annual report TO the Secretary
of the Navy. expresses regret that the APP
preparations for the maintenance of navy
yards and stations are SO limited that it has
not been possible to keep pace IN repairs
with the deterioration. Great permanent
improvements have been made, no viewer, in
several yards. AT Norfolk launching ways
for two ships have been built and success
fully used. An immense crane is in course
of construction, extensions have been made
to the ships and seawalls, an electric
light plant has been installed and
an ample supply Of water obtained from a
series of wells. AT Port Royal, s. c., the
dry dock is well in hand and should be COM
pleted in the tine contracted. The esti-
mates submitted by the commandants of
the navy yards aggregated 81, SOC, 100, but
this total was reduced by Commander Far
quhar to S2.257 ,92S, the reduction being in
the item of improvements.
The commodore says there is great neces-
sity for dry dock on the New England
coast and also on the gulf capable of taking
the largest battleships.
Among the estimates submitted are the
following:
Key West, Fla. For an iron coal wharf,
$50 900. This is TO increase the facilities for
supplying coal to vessels of war There is
bat one wharf now of consequence Only
one ship can be coaled at a time and the
ships must be delayed.
Port Royal-For sewerage, 1916; officers
quarters 1885, bath houses, 81 .099; barn,
1852. 1t is very necessary to have quarters
on the island for naval constructor and
paymaster in addition to those provided
for.
At Pensacola all improvements are de-
layed pending decision as to whether the
yard Ia to be abandoned.

In Hard Luck.

J.C. Lisenbee, a good citizen of
the Eighth district, is here to-day.
OF late his lines have fallen into hard
places. Several weeks ago he had
the misfortune to lose his grist mill
near Liberty Church, by fire, entail
ing a loss OF about 5000 90, with no in
surance. The origin of the fire is
unknown. On the heels of this he
had very valuable mule to die a
few days ago. The mule was stran-
gely affected. Mr.. Lisenbee is an
old and experienced farmer, and this
is the first case of the kind that has
ever come under his observation.
With view of determining the cause
of the death he dissected the animal
and found under the skin over the
right hip and extending clear to the
ribs mass of kernels. Some ofthem
were as large as the palm of a mans
hand down to- the size of a finger
nail. He thinks it probably can.
cerous growth, as he found one of the
mules ribs eaten nearly in two. No
one else who saw the mule had ever
seen a similar case.

lunch was served. 1t was pronounced
one of the pleasantest trips ever TAX

refreshing after leaving the heat of

loyal to him as long as 1t was toler-
able to be loyal and preserve self-re-
spect. He was even SO loyal as to
lend his influence and great name in
the promotion of Harrison's second
term ambition 10 the extent that
other prominent Republicans were
kept from making a contest until
Mr.. Harrison had the second nomi-
nation almost safe in hand, so safe
that no other name but that of James
G. Blaine could be used to wrest it
from him, and Harrison's exceeding
egotism and Jealousy forced the
Plumed Knight into the arena.
The people see and understand all
of this, and the fact itself maxes the
public jealous of the second term, mis-
trusting the spirit of self aggrandize-
ment, and the political history of
this country since the days of WASH
ington and Jackson is that no presi-
dent, excepting Lincoln and Grant
has ever been elected TO the second
term. The peculiar circumstances
surrounding Lincoln and Grant
forced their reelection. Men lave
sometimes been re nominated, but
never elected, and it becomes
mole and more evident every year
that this is not second term coun-
try.

A FIGHT FOR PIE.
General Boyd Brings Himself Into No
toriety at Minneapolis.

The LEAF-CHRoNICLE publishes
elsewhere o.day a very full report of
the proceedings of the Republican
convention at minneapolis yester-
day. 1t will be seen by a careful
perusal of the same that Boyd, COL,
of Tennessee, at 2:2O, seconded the
nomination of Blaine, and it is sup
posed that this Boyd is our own Cen
eral. Assuming this to be true, there
by hangs tale. 1t was charged at
the outset that General was against
the administration, and that he
would fight it in Tennessee to the
bitter end. This report getting to
Nashville, where all the bosses as
semble, created no little sensation
and campaign was at once declared,
the object of which was to get Gen
eral squarely into line. They came
and had a long conference. Then they
conferenced some more, and the re-
port went out that Boyd was all right
and that he would swing into line,
and that he would stay there. He
went to Minneapolis as a delegate,
and he was instructed to vote for Har-
rison from start to finish. Getting
there, however, he could not stand
the pressure, and went over to Blaine
with a whoop. He brings himself and
Clarksville into notoriety by making
one of his sky-scraping orations, fair
ly Smelling the timber and setting the
convention wild with enthusiasm for
the Maine statesman. He will be
home in few days, and some more
conferencing will be in order. Gen
eral is so constituted that 1t gives him
the blind staggers to support any man
who refuses to give him whack at
the pie dish as it is passed around.
The Harrison administration has
given him no pie, hence his bolt. II
is rumored here, however, that he
got a fair lick at the Blaine dish as it
was passed around at Minneapolis.
