"Mr. Parrott is one of our foremost

quite safe with that large amount OF
gold in transit as long as he was my
assistant. In the language of the late
jeremiah Rush, the fearless Western
statesman, We seen our duty and we
done it, But L digress. Our wagons
numbered southwark and the gold grew
heavier. We crossed creeks, ram
shackle bridges, and had miles OF not
very good roads. The mule drivers
popped their whips, swore in that ia
miliar style which the mule is accus-
toned to hear, and away we went, put
ting miles between us and Columbia.

The seeds are especially good as feed

they are relished by all farm animals
Fifty bushels Of seed to the acre is q

The following touchingpoem was written
by the late Gibbes Gardiner. of Augusta,
ga. whose life was che4uered with ups and
downsin infinite variety;
After while a busy brain
Will rest from all its care and pain;
After awhile life's rush will cease,
And wearied heart find sweet release
After awhile a vanished face
An empty chair--a vacant place
After while name forgot
A crumbled stone, an unknown spot.

| President Evans Says the Alliance
is Political to the Core.
The State Farmers Alliance held its
annual session on the 2Sth inst. in Co
lumbia, and the following account OF
its proceedings is condensed from The
State:
The attendance Is not as large as Ii
was in Aiken last year, but there seems
to be absolutely nothing of any impor-
tance to claim the attention of the
body at this session. For some reason
several counties are not Represented
by delegates, though several of these
have representatives in che person of
officers. Among the most prominent
Alliancemen drawn to the city by the
gathering are Congressman Talbert, j.
VIM. Stokes, Lieut.. Gov. Zimmerman,
Jos. l.. Keitt and others.
The Alliance was called to order at
noon by President w. ID. Evans, whose
term OF Office expires with this meet
ing. 1t was practically decided in the
caucus the night before that he would
be succeeded by the Rev. j. A. Sligh,
Congressman Talbert declining the
honor. Secretary Reid was on hand as
usual.
The committee on credentials re-
ported that the following delegates
were entitled to seats in the body:
Abbeville-J. II. Graves.
Aiken-R. FL. Zimmerman.
Anderson-J. w. Bowden.
Barnwell-J. S. Weeks.

The Dog Knew His Business.

The steamer Forest Queen recently had an excursion party from Biddeford on board, and at the request of some of the exeursionists Captain Oliver ran out by Wood island As he passed the light he saluted it with the customary three whis- ties. Scarcely had the echoes died away when dog dashed out of the lighthouse and ran at full speed toward the fog bell. He was followed by a man. It is needless to say that the dog arrived at the bell first, and he immediately began to jump into the air as though trying to reach some thing.
 When the man arrived on the spot, it was readily seen what the trouble was. The bell ropo was hung upon q nail, and the dog could not reach it. However, as soon as the man removed the rope from the nail the dog seized it in his teeth, and with great deal of apparent satisfaction answered the steamers salute. The dog knows his business and never fails to re- turn a steamers salute.-Eastern Argus.

CHEAP GAS.

The lieople Of Kansas City are en- toying the rare luxury of gas war, and gas has reached the unprece- derted low price of 50 cents thou sand cubic feet in that city. This low rate has been brought about by the Philadelphia Gas Trust, which has declared war against local com pany which had previously reduced the price to s1. This is the biggest single cut ever made in the price of ga, in America. Recently the Stan dard Oil Trusts gas interests con- ouered the Addick' s gas syndicate in Brooklyn by cut of, first, from. $l 20 to $1, and then to 90 cents, but the low price of 50 cents has never before been reached.
 This gas war has exposed the inn mense profits heretofore made by the gas companies in the leading cities of this country. The usual net rate fingers around S2 and $2 90 a thousand cubic feet. In Little Rock the rate is g. 50 and in Pine Bluff $3 thousand cubic feet, but a reduction of 30 cents per thousand cubic feet is made if the bill is paid before 5th or the Sth of the month. This makes the net rate in Little Rock g and in Pine Bluff $2. 50 per thousand. The rate varies with To- cation, but, as we remarked above, the usual net rate in the leading cities of the country where there is no competition is about $2.
 In view of these charges it might be interesting to know that during the controversy in Kansas City, Col. Payne, one of the officials, de clared that his company could make two per cent on the capital invested by furnishing gas at $l per thou sand cubic feet. Commenting on this statement, dispatch says that this would bea profit of $35, 900 annually on the present gas output at Kansas City. The income at $1 would be $175, 900 showing a grand cost oi production, according to Col. Payne, of $40, 900.
 In view of these figures the in quiry naturally arises what would be the profits of the Kansas City Gas Company if it received the same rate for gas per thousand cubic feet as ob, tain in Little Rock and Pine Bluff.
 At g. per thousand the annual in come of the Kansas City Gas Com pany would be $350, 900, from which take the cost of production, $40, 900, and it leaves an annual profit ol s2lO,00O.
 St. Louis is another city that is enjoying the beneficient blessing ol cheap gas. The local gas company of that city has reduced the price te $1 per thousand cubic feet, and the reduction is announced to be . permanent one.
 In the campaign for lower prices in gas the local consumer cannot but hope that the low prices prevailing in some of our neighboring cities will reach Pine Bluff. The net price in this city is $2.50, and in view ol the recent disclosures fron officia quarters to the effect that gas car be manufactured and served to con. sumers at $1 per thousand, and then dividend of two per cen1
