GAINESVILLE RELIEF COMMITTEE
1t Has Made a Statement of Money

1t Has Made Statement of Money
Received and Distributed.
Gainesville, Nov. 29.-At meeting of the
relief committee Friday morning it was
decided to close up the accounts and con-
slider the matter of further distribution of
funds In hand. The following report was
made by the treasurer, M. Eudel:
Previously acknowledged .........$l,24 IS
Less amount not collected.......... 60 10
Total ............................ ISL OS
Amount distributed .......,........ asa IS
Balance on hand ..................$ T26 60
The above figures do not include the
distribution of clothing, groceries and
nails, which were donated by individuals
and the various committees.
The committee before adjourning said
that further contributions were not de-
sired They estimate that over 500 fami-
lies in the strom district were supplied
through this committee.
A question which is receiving a good
deal attention at the hands of the Gaines
VILE people is the matter of converting
this place in a sub-school district che
election for which will take place on Mon
day. 1t is generally believed that the
move will pass with an overwhelming
vote as those that seem to oppose it viii
find on Monday they are not qualified, and
consequently will have no say. As a rule,
the large property owners heartily in
dorse it.

From the PhIladelphIa Pregs.

Hinsdale, Nov. 26.-Mrs. r. ]. Werlx-
heiser. wife Of a conductor who resides In
the Hillsdae hotel, had an exciting expe-
rience last night with pet parrot which
she had kept for some time In a cage in
the sitting room of the hotel She went
TO feed the bird and after It had eaten she
began playing with il.
Suddenly the parrot flew at Mrs. Werk-
heiser, who had her face close to the cage,
grasped her just under the nose with its
sharp beak and tore away portion OF the
flesh, making a painful wound, which bled
profusely.
1t was thought Mrs. Werkheiser would
bleed to death before the flow Of blood
was stanched. The parrot after getting n
taste of blood flew around the cage and
set up a tremendous screeching that bad
ly frightened the inmates Of the house.
The bird has acted strangely ever SINCE

.ARLEDGE HAS RETURNED.

Edward Arledge, the white convict who
escaped from the chaingang on Monday
of last week, returned to Yorkville last
Monday accompanied by his father, gave
himself up to the authorities, expressed
himself as sorry for what he had done and
promised not to do 30 again.
The reporter has made no special effort
to find how Arledge got away, etc. but
understands that he claims that his recent
visitors had nothing whatever to do with
the matter further than that after their de-
parture, he was filled with an irresistible
desire to revisit his. former stamping
grounds and just picked up and left. 1t
was not long after he got away before he
began to realize that the lot ofa fugitive
from justice is hard one, and 1t took but
little persuasion on the part of his rela-
tives to induce him to lose as little time as
possible in repairing his mistake.
II suppose you will give him the mis-
G chief now," remarked a citizen to Super
intendent Gordon, of the convict force, on
Monday. "No, I;won't do anything of
the kind" replied Superintendent Cor
don. "Ifthere was any reason why any
special trust should have been reposed in
Arledge in the first place, there are now
much better reasons, and it does not occur
to me that I have any occasion to punish
him. 49,

ANOTHER REESE RUMoR

A sensational story in regard to M. R.
Reese, who is wanted for the killing of
Charles T. Williams, was in circulation on
the streets of Yorkville on Monday and
Tuesday.
According to the story, on Saturday
last, a representative of the Holland De-
tective agency, of Columbia, applied to
citizens Of Blacksburg, stated that he
had information as to Reese's where
abouts, and for the sum of 500 offered to
procure the fugitive's arrest. The money
was either raised in full or satisfactorily
guaranteed, and the detective Immediately
proceeded to do some telegraphing to diff
ferent points.
The story is that Reese has been located
in Meridian, Miss, and that he is under
arrest. While under the circumstances
it does not seem improbable that the man
has been located, as to whether or not he
has really been arrested, there is room
for considerable doubt.

NEXT MONDAY.

Next Monday-salesday for April
promises to be q big occasion in Yorkville.
By reference to the official notice pub
lished elsewhere in this issue, it will be
seen that Messrs. Nicely and Waters haye
called a convention of Confederate survi-
vors of the county in accordance with the
requirements Of the new pension law.
The call includes not only those who are
personally interested in the pension ques-
ton but also all the old veterans who may
be interested in looking after the welfare
Of such of their comrades as happen to be
unable to take care Of themselves.
BY reference to another official notice, 1t
will be seen that on account of the con-
'vention Of the survivors next Monday,
Judge Witherspoon has decided to sus-
pend court proceedings for the day. Ju-
rors and witnesses will not be required to
give their attendance as such but fcourse
will be welcome as citizens.
The quarterly meeting Of the County
Alliance will be another feature Of the
day. There will be music by the Bethel
band and speeches by Messrs. Keitt and
Wilborn.. The speeches will be with open
door, and everybody is invited.
There are to be no official sales so far as
the reporter knows; but, taken all and all,
there Is more inducement for q large at
tendance in town than there has been on
any previous occasion for many months,
and the people confidently look forward
to q big time Of it.

The changing of the party constitution
so as to do away with the provision
requiring the nomination Of a senatorial
candidate by primary election is to be one
of the most important questions before
the Democratic convention to be held in
May. There is quite an element in favor
of leaving the whole matter to the legis-
lature, while others insist on the primary
as prescribed under the constitution. That
the subject should admit of any question
whatever at this particular time is passing
strange. When the provision requiring
that candidates for senator 60 before the
people was adopted, it was held up as
great victory in behalf of sound Demo-
cratic doctrine and with good reason, for
it received the almost unanimous approx
al of the people. Now it is sought to do
away with the change even before it has
ever been submitted to the test Of practi-
cal operation. Just why, we have, as yet,
seen no explanation but it is argued that
as the candidates for the legis-
lature are nominated in primaries, snd:it
is 50 easy to make the choice Of senator an
issue here, there is no reason to carry the
matter to the point of allowing individual
voters to actually choose between the
opposing senatorial candidates. There is
wrong about this position. So
far as we are concerned, while we can see
no harm whatever in allowing the people
to directly express their choice for sena-
tor, we can see harm in system that
makes legislature candidates mere coat
tail swingers to senatorial aspirants. We
believe that the constitution of the party
is best as it now stands. Let the senatorial
candidates come before the people like
men, and leave the legislature candidates
alone to stand on their own merits. This,
it strikes US, is not only fairness, but it is
common sense and it is Democracy.

APRIL WEATHER.

Our Chester weather prophet sends his
predictions for April, under date of last
Saturday but wants it understood that he
is not willing to guarantee them absolute
ly correct. He can foretell other months,
and April too, for that matter, as good
as anybody; but April is too much
even for the ever-vigilant weather bureau,
to say nothing of the private individual
who would make up his forecast fully q
month ahead. But here is the record ac-
cording to the prophet:
"From to 8, clear, cool and windy.
From to 7, changeable, with probably
some rain. From sto II, cool and windy
With some rain. From IL to IA, unsettled
and threatening. From Is to 1s, windy
and cool with light frost. From ~
to 81, wind, rain and some hail. From
% to rs, warmer and more pleasant. From
26 to 80, some rain and cool wind, with a
light frost about the 29th."

IT WAS NOT CoNTABAND.

From time to time, some pretty hard
stories are told about the enforcement OF
the dispensary law. Some are true and
some are not. Sometimes they are told
with malice aforethought and sometimes
they are told as jokes. The following
story comes from what the reporter con-
siders reliable authority, and whether it is
joke or serious matter, each individual
reader is left to decide for himself.
Mr.. M. A. Mcfarland is young farm
er who lives on the southern outskirts OF
Yorkville. He is hard worker, attends
to his own business, and has the reputa-
ton of having never known the taste OF
any kind of intoxicating liquor. More
than this he has for a long time been
identified with temperance work in York
vile, and was connected with the last
Temperance organization that existed in
the town.
On Thursday afternoon of last week Mr..
Mcfarland went up to Mr.. Henry Kellar's
and got load Of corn. In addition to the
corn he also got well. filled 2.gallon jug,
and after telling the folks goodbye, started
out with the jug to the wagon. At this
''criticap moment, two State constables,
Messrs. Newbold and Smith drove up, and
before Mr.. Mcfarland had time to realize
the situation, he was startled by the sudden
demand from Constable Newbo]d:
"Hold up there; what have you got in
that jug?"
Being unacquainted with Newbold, or
his official position, Mcfarland considered
his demand quite impertinent, and re-
piled:
"What have you got to do with what's
in it It's none of your business"
ut is my business" said Newbold,
jumping out Of his buggy, "and I will
show you what have to do with it. Let
me see what is in that Jug"
ST won't do it." replied Mcfarland.
ut is none of your business, say"
At this Newbold drew revolver out of
his pocket and repeated his demand. Nc
Farland persisted in his refusal. Then
Newbold threw aside the lapel of his coat
and exposed to view a constabulatory
badge that was pinned to his vest. At
this Mcfarland set the jug down on the
ground, and in tone of unfeigned resig-
nation, said:
"Well, 60 ahead and look in it."
Without more ado, and conquered at
last" look in his eyes, Newbold drew the
cob stopper and applied his nose to the
mouth of the jug. Then evidently salts
fed, he replaced the stopper, and turning
to Mcfarland:
"I hope you will accept my apologies
for my action and what I said but"
II don't want any of your apologies"
replied Mcfarland. II told you that 1t
wasn't any of your business what was in
that jug, and it wasn't"
"Well,n returned NeWbold, .'if you

Chester and Cheraw to Be Sold.

Lancaster Enterprise: An order was
taken before Judge Witherspoon at
Chester last week for the sale of the
Chester and Cheraw railroad on the
first Monday in May next. The sale
will take place in Chester. 1t is gen.
orally supposed that the holders of the
first mortgage bonds will buy it but
there is some talk of its being bought
by other parties. Large quantities Of
these bonds are held by Augusta peo-
pie, and it is more than probable that
if they can get so per cent. of their
holdings, they will let somebody else
own the road. No bid for less than
$25, 900 will be cried, and certified
check for $4,000 must be deposited by
the bidder.
