POLICE OFFICERS ROT PAID.
The Payroll Was Passed Last Friday
Night, But the Checks Are Not In Evi-
dsnce Yet-Ths Men Indignant.

The Payroll Was Passed Last Friday
Night, But the Checks Are Not In Evi-
dsnce Yet-Ths Men Indlgnant.
Considerable indignation is being felt
among the police officers over the failure
of the city auditor to get the checks for
Mays salaries ready. The payroll was
passed last Friday evening, but there Is
every indication that the money will not
be forthcoming until next week. The
excuse made Is that there is not enough
money in the treasury to pay the roll.
While the checks are really not due
until the hrst Tuesday after the first
Thursday In the month, 1t has al ways
been customary to pass the pay roll on
the last Thursday evening Of the month
when It comes at the very end Of the
month, and thus allow the men 10 meet
their obligations with merchants, etc, /,
on the first Of the month There was
nothing faid about a lack OF money
until Rfler election, then it was dis
covered
Said one Of the officer "If Mr.. Bill
lany was not going out Of Office soon
there would be none Of this delay, but
You sea he don't care now and takes
advantage OF his power to Anney us.
or course he don't have to settle with
us until the irst Tuesday after tho first
Thursday OF the month, but he has never
claimed this prerogative until now.
You see, we are kept out
Of our pay for eleven days and
it is source Of annoyance not only to
us but to the men we deal With and who
are kept out OF their money too AS fol
the lack Of funds, we didn't hear
anything Of that until after the election

Manassas and Appcmattoz.

The Manassas (Va.) Journal says
that the public sale of the Mclean
estate brings to our mind the most
singular coincidence we recall in our
reading of history:
The first meeting of the Army Of
the Potomac and the Army of North
ern Virginia took place at Blackburn's
Ford, July IS, 1861, and brought on
the first pitched battle of the war.
At 10 a. NJ, of that day Beauregard
took up bis headquarters at the Nc
Lean House, and there Mcdowell at
tackled him with a heavy force of in
fantry and ortillery. On the 9th of
April, 1865, after 1861 days of al
most constant fighting, the comman-
ders Of these two armies, Grant and
Lee, met at the Mclean House at
Appomattox and drew up the terms
of the surrender.
When Beauregard evacuated Ma
nassas, Major Mclean removed his
family to Fauquier. AS the tide Of
the war rolled again around them
they removed for the second time to
Lunenburg and there in 1868, the
major returned one day and told
them he would move them this time
where the sound Of the battle ''would
never reach them more" They
rented the brick house at Appomat-
tox, which has become historic and
toward which all the strategy of the
war converged, and around which it
SO suddenly eliminated. And SO it
happened, as Major Mclean
frequently said, that the war began
on him and ended on him.

The Ree2ga Of a Year.
What South Carolina Has Raised on
Her Farms-Large Yields and
Good Prices.
The State.

:
This has been an abundant har-
vest year in South Carolina and the
farmers may be said to have been
blessed. The year was in strange
contrast with the preceding one, par
ticularly as prices have been so much
better for farm products.
During the year just closed, while
the official figures are not yet at
hand, the estimate by competent
authority is that the corn crop has
been the largest ever harvested in
this State. The total crop is esti-
mated at 2l,O0O,O00 bushels. The
average yield per acre has been Is
bushels, against l2aa last year. The
largest previous corn crop was about
100000 bushels.
It Is estimated also that the State
has furnished to the markets of the
world this year 63S,14S bales of cot
ton, the average bale being 45O
pounds. The acreage in cotton dur
ing the year just closing is estimated
at 1,957,000. The prices paid for
the crop are pretty generally known.
It is thought that the average price
per pound will work out to be almost
cents for the entire crop.
Besides all this grain crops were
unusually fine the past year, and so
was the tobacco crop, the latt' r
bringing excellent prices. Again the
smoke houses of the State have been
filled with sufficient hog and hominy
and like products, it is said, to feed
the entire State for two years.
It may be added, also that South
c. rolina has never had better fruit
'op year than this has been. The
ftuit was of an unusually fine quality
and there was an abundance of it.,
bringing good prices in the northern
markets. This is tue also Of tie
melon crop.
So taking things all in all South
Carolina ends the present year in q
far better condition than she has
ended any single year for half de-
cade or more. There is every rea-
son why the masses Of the people
should be able to pay their taxes
now and then have an unusually
happy Christmas, and then begin the
new year with hopeful faces.
During the past year also South
Carolina has made great progress on
industrial lines.
