EACkoONFlLLk , SUNDAY SAl-OONS.
Extract from a sermon preach
ed last Sunday morning by Rev.
w. T. Veale, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church, Jacksonville. I
The saloons of Jacksonville
should be closed on sunday.
In round numbers there are
about forty five saloons in your
city, and only three of these, l am
told. are closed all the Sunday.
Why is the ordinance on Sunday
closing not enforced? Why are
there forty or more saloons al
lowed to be in full blast as far as
drinking is concerned? And why
do police officers close their eyes
TO the grim spectacle of two beer
barrels being rolled into saloon
on Bay street on Sunday evening
at s o'clock, when the supply ran
short? Police officers, mark you,
are under the orders and spell of
their superiors. Had Roosevelt
been in the chiefs chair, those
two barrels of beer and their own
ers upon them would have ridden
into court on Black Monday, but
as it was, they were drained to the
dregs, and no doubt the health of
the city officials was ANONYMOUSLY
called for between the flying froth.
"Will you take something's" said
a teetotaler to a friend standing
near a tavern. well, I don't care

answerable and let the matter rest
unsolved. The great source of trouble
now Ia the position of Mr.. Carlisle with
his currency bill. Mrs. Watson wants
to know whether the making of money
Is function Of government or whether
1t should be left to individual and
corporate enterprise to furnish the cir
culation medium that measures ex-
changes and liquidates debts !?
"She wants TO know IL the making
OF money should be left to private en-
his bill for any governmental inter
ference?
"She wants to know II the making
OF money Is a function OF government,
why government does not attend to
its business aud not delegate its powers
to class of individuals or corpora
tions?
"She wants to know IL money should
be made OF commodity of high rela-
tive value like gold, aud If so, why
government does not stop when the
gold is coined instead OF issuing a
volume of paper promises to pay equal
to eight times the number Of gold
dollars
"She wants to know what elasticity
of the currency is and how money can
be made to circulate freely when there
is panic abroad In the land, every
productive industry paralyzed, every
bank boarding its money and every
man who has q dollar refusing to part
with it until driven to it'by dire neces-
sity.
"She wants to know If the quantity
of gold in the world is sufficient to do
the business of the world. If not, and
it must be supplemented by a system of
paper, based on our faith that there is
some gold somewhere, in which the
paper will be redeemed when we want
1t, which is the best foundation for our
faith, confidence in individual and COR
porate banks, or confidence in gov
crnment that represents the honesty,
the integrity and ability to pay of the
whole people?
"She wants to know il paper money
must not, of necessity, be a credit
money, depending for its circulation
upon the faith of the people in its ulti-
mate redemption ? -
IF 1t is u credit money, If not the
credit of the government tho whole
people) stronger and better than the
credit of individual or corporate
banks?
"She wants to know if Mr.. Carlisle
thinks thero is money enough in the
country
IF that is his idea, why docs be
not provide for imitation by the cheaper
route Of FREQ coinage of silver instead
Of authorizing q lot Of hanks to issue
quantity of promises to pay gold that
they have not, and may never be able
to obtain?
"Sho wants to know, If there is any
way to stop people doing business on
credit, and with credit money?
of there is no way, she wants to
know why Mr.. Carlisle and the other
great statesmen don't stop fooling with
the money question and find out what
1T is that makes panics, shakes credits
and brings hard timos and give us

Tor tho most part, men whose lives
have been passed on the Western
hunting grounds. They, are hardy,
slow-going mon, who taSe- kindly to
the hermit life they live, but wheo
the time comes for soiling the produc,
OF their farms they go down to Cairo
or Memphis an4 engage in . couple of
weeks OF high living that makes the
good citizens trem0.le aud the saloon
keepers richer. They spend ttteir
money like water, and not infrequent-
ly, go back to their farms with empty
pockets. Notwithstanding their rough
ways, they are good hearted, aud tbsv
extend tho warmost hospitality
visitors.
The Strengthening season begins
December and lasts through January.
If there are several farms on one
stream The farmer whose corral is
nearest to the mouth of tho stream
Kills first. When ho has finished. the
next one above him begins, and so on
to the last farmer, The work begins
by drawing off the ponds by means of
iloodgates that are covered with wire
netting toprevent the animals from
passing through. When the mud
houses of the beavers are exposed the
farmer goes from one to the other and
taps on them with II club. ,Sno noise
frightens the animals out. Fcom the
formation of their legs they arc ndttffA-
ally slow-runncrs. They are knocked
kneed, and their hind legs arc wide
apart. When they leave tho huts they
are despatched with clubs. ItreQuires
but short time to kill them. When
the colony is planted thoy are brand
ed, anti at butchering time these are
preserved for breeding purposes. 1t is
said OF the beaver that it lives, active
and vigorous, to the age of fifty years.
AS soon as the killing is done the
gates arc closed and the farm no'
again. The polts are taken
dead beavers and stretched ove,.
mado of bent elm strips. The fur side
is on the inside. Saltpetre is rub
bed into the flesh OF the skin and it
Is exposed to the atmosphere for two
weeks; then tho pelts are packed in
bales and taken to market.
The pclts are classed according to
their size and the length of the fur.
The poorest brings , :, and from that
= ,ure the prices range to N$25. Tho
fur is used in the manufacture Of coats,
hats, and garments for women. A
good deal of it is shipped to China,
where it is made into expensive shoes
Tor aristOcratic women.

Worley was tied with his hands be-
hind him and rode in the middle of the
crowd of men ON horseback. He never
spoke. We went up the Bloodtown
road through Bloodtowon to Blood
Describe" said some one, "how
the bills are here"
The hills ON each hand almost
straight up thousand feet high, a
creek runs between, and the road for
three miles runs through this creek.
Its awful dark here in the night time.
When we had got to a lonely part of
the Bloodtown gorge we halted the
aorses and selected a persimmon tree
horse under the tree and tied a rope
around Worley's neck. The other end
of tho rope was thrown over O strong
limo, and three men caught hold of the
end that hung down and we strung
him up, got on our horses and rode
down tho gorge apiece. Worley was
swinging backward and forward when
we left him there to die. The last
man had gotten almost out of 81 ght of
him when he was seen to knock up
against the tree and wrap his legs
around the trunk. Quick as lightning
he managed to get his hands loose,
united the moose from his neck, and
lighting on his feet, ran faster than any
man ever saw. a yell went up from
the crowd and the men fired fifty shots
at him as he ran. They never caught
up with him, and that was the last we
saw of him that night"
When Black Had completed his
story, there was complete silence in
the court-room, the full ghastliness OF
the crime having sunk deep into the
breasts of every one.

TIMMONSVILLE, Feb. 12.-The largest
fire in extent and number of buildings
! destroyed that Timmonsyifle has ever
experienced broke out last night about
IL o'clock, and this morning the famous
wooden row containing historic Fort
Sumter" is in ashes.
Snow had fallen to depth OF sew
eral inches, and continued during the

that acted as a wet blanket to all
buildings adjacent the doomed block.
This was long row of wooden build
lngs, all connected, on Railroad street,
right in the heart of town. 1t had
long been condemned by the insurance
companies, and consequently the in
surance was light and many of the
building unoccupiod.
The origin of the fire is unknown
II was first discovered in the rear of 1.
large store house known Us the Nc
Laughlin building, the back and upper
parts OF which were occupied by negro
tenants, and rapidly spread east and
west till the entire block was in flames.
But for the heavy fall OF snow no doubt
the whole business part OF tho town
would this morning be In ruins.

occupied by w. w. Harrell, grocery
below and dwelling above value Of
building 81, 900, stock $3.50.

hart, known as "Fort SUMTER" value

A DEFAULTING DISPENSER.
Governor Evans Takes Prompt Ac-

Fully Covered by the Bondsmcn.

Governor Evans Takes Prompt Ac-
ton in His Case-Thc shortage
Fully Covered by the Bondsmen.
The State 18th inst.
Governor Evans has commenced to
apply the law to those dispensers who
have been found to be defaulters, as
he expressed it a few days ago. And
the first man among these officers OF
the State to find himself in the hole is
Mr.. B. O. Evans, the dispenser at ST.
Matthews, in Orangeburg County.
Tho official Inspector has gone over
this dispensers books, and finds that
there is shortage Of between So. 200
and $1,000.
Governor Evans said that the matter
Of the existence Of this shortage was
only reported to him on Saturday last.
He at once sent Inspector Scruggs to
ST. Matthews to take charge OF the
dispensary ard make an investigation
OF the books and accounts. He report
ed that the amount OF tho defalcation
was as given above. Governor Evans
says he cannot understand how the
county board Of control could have let
tho shortage occur without noticing it.
The Governor says there was nothing
left for him to do but to act promptly,
in order to preserve the discipline OF
the entire management Of the dispen:
sary. Consequently he has sent the
bond Of the dispenser to Messrs. Bow
man 81 Ell. FL. Brunson, attorneys at
Orangeburg, and ordered them to pro-
ceed at once to bring suit upon the
bond to recover the amount of the
shortage. He has also decided, he
says, to have Dispenser Evans prose-
cuted to tho full extent Of the law for
grand larceny and breach Of trust.
On the dispensers bond arc Messrs.
Philip Rich and Frederick j. Buyck,
both mon OF wealth, and the loss will
be fully covered Governor Evans
says the shortage, so far as he can as
certain, falls entirely on the county
and does not effect the funds due tho
State. The Governor has ordered Mr.
| Scruggs to close tho dispensary and
turn it over to some person whom the
board OF control shall select to act as
dispenser.
Governor Evans has not yet taken
any legal stops against any Of the other
dispensers who have been found to be
defaultcrs, but his action in this case
indicates what course he will likely
pursue with all OF them.

The State, l4th inst.

Ine state, l4tn inst.
Governor Evans yesterday received
from Dispensary Inspector Scruggs his
report of his investigation OF tho ac-
counts Of the dispensary at ST. Mat
thews. He reports that the total short
tage is 81, ,282.83. Tho bulk of this am
ount falls on the State and not on the
county, as Governor Evans thought.
There is now due the State, so Mr..
Scruggs reports, $2,038. SO. The amount
due the county on account of unpaid
profits is only $244.47. The stock on
hand at the dispensary as accounted
on Monday by Mr.. Scruggs, whom he
took charge of the dispensary, was
worth 81 ,5l6.18. Dispenser Evans has
purchased from the State since the re-
opening OF the dispensarics in August
last, $6, 289, IA worth Of liquors, and the
total stock carried since the reopening
amounted to s., ,55O.l0.
Governor Evans now believes that
the shortage has been accommodating
for somo time, and he thinks that there
must have been something misleading
about tho reports or the shortage
would have been discovered long ago.
Governor Evans has already forwarded
all the necessary papers and instruc-
tions to the attorneys in Orangeburg
representing the State and he says
the State will lose nothing and Dis
penser Evans will be made to suffer.
Governor Evans says this should be a
warning to other dispensers. He says
that all dispensers and others con-
neCted with the system might as well
understand that the States business is
not thing to be monkeyed with
He says he intends to show absolutely
no lenlency with any one In such a
matter where States money Is involv-
ed ~

ence thereto. Only sixteen supported
this effort. A similar effort was made
with another portion Of the preamble,
but 1t was voted down.
Middleton said he was trying to avoid
political parties buying them.
Chappelle said that this was an insult
| to the Christian ministers. We came
here TO w9rk with all tho parties which
will work with US to save our rights
| from the wreck. (Applause.) We don't
come here to please any man or set of
men. We are here to keep TELEGRAPH
ic wire running from the precinct TO
headquarters. The political leaders
are looking down to '96. We don't
want the State, and we are not going
! to get it. Money, intelligence and
sense have to run the government. We
don't want to put ignorance back in
there. God knows there's enough OF it
in there now. We don't want the Off
ccs. (Rice-I wants all l can got out
OF 'em.) We don't want to be cowardly.

been made even in 1875. II you don't

that he who sits on a hot stove will rise
again. Middleton sits on such q stove.
We've got to strike these kind of peo-
pie out OF the way. Chappelle called
for the previous question on the whole
matter.
Middleton replied to the personal
slashes OF Chappelle. Daniels pleaded
for unity of action. Jacobs had consid-
cradle to say by way OF explanation as
to why they wanted Organization. He
believed that q white man who had to

out and fight. The circumstances had
