Of twenty years the State has the op'
ton of refunding the entire debt at q
lower rate of interest or of continuing
it at the same rate for twenty years
longer. At the expiration OF twenty
years the Tillman bond deal will have
saved the taxpayers 81, SIS, ,000or near
ly one.third Of the entire debt. AT
the expiration of forty years the tax
payers will have saved $3.50, 900 IN
interest alone more than enough to
buy the entire county of Clarendon at
it's assessed valuation for taxation.
Under this Act a sinking fund has
been provided for, which sets apart
SIS, 600 per annum out Of the phosphate
ROYALTY. The State now has over
$3.50, coo drawing interest at ] per
cent, which is being compounded. At
the end oftwenty years this fund will
amount to at least 81, GOO, 900, and we
will retire that much of the State
debt, leaving balance of So, 500, 600 to
be refunded. At the expiration OF
forty years the entire debt will have
been paid.

LEAP YEAR PARTY.
Miss Lizzie Carr Entertained a Number
of Friends Last Friday Night.

On the evening of Friday, the gath
inst, Miss Lizzie Carr, assisted by
some young lady friends, gave o Leap
Year party to number of our young
people. The guests were unanimous
in pronouncing it the most enjoyable
occasion of the kind this season. Those
present were: Misses Nena Painter,
Mia Hunter, Eva Carr, Sauna Biddle,
Gertrude and frankie Mitchell, Mary
Faucette, Ada Wood, Gertrude Weller,
Matte Johnston, Kate Nelms, Alice
Carr, Vandalia Fuqua, Josie and Ger
trude Taylor; Messrs. Frank Taylor,
Milton Bolton, George Martin, Frank
Gildersleeve, Raymond Reeves, Chas.
Biddle, Frank Miller, Lit Wood, John
Miller, Louis Fuqua, Walter Cargille,
Will King and Will johnson.
The evening was spent in amusements
of all kinds, the most unique probably
being the poetry making. One verse
that attracted a great deal of attention
and which some said was quoted from
one of the great poets, read like this:
Don't you see that beautiful star
Away up there so far
1T looks like tomato can,
Said little boy-Dan.
Each guest was given four words, one
for the end of each line. In this in
stance the words were "star, far, can,
Dan," and it will readily be seen from
the result that the verse is original.
Refreshments were then served, after
which the happy assemblage repaired
to their homes here and there, congrat-
ulating themselves that most enjoya-
BILE and pleasant time had been in
dulged in by all.

citizens Meeting at the opera House.

A lees OstentatlouF, but more impor-
IanJ meeting has not been held in
johnson City than that which met III
Jobe's opera house lastSaturd.y night.
Thirty or forty gentlemen came
through the drlzzie aud ram to talk
over the establishment Of an Ell dowed,
frst-cass college in our midst The
meeting had not particle OF boom in
it, yet showed q suppressed earnest
ness thai could not b. concealed. 1t
was called TO order by j E Brading,
and President Cooter, of Washington
College, in Conversational manner
explained that proposition was un,
der consideration by the "Syuudlcal
Presbyterian COMMITTEE on Colleges"
to establish new institution TO do the
higher college work OF Washington
and Tusculum somewhere upon the
line Of railroad between Bristol and
Knoxville Both colleges were willing
to this, and would act as teders. He
was of opinion that an endowment
fund Of one hundred thousand dIlIats
could be raised by the church for this
purpose Why nos have this iustitu
ton at Johnson City? What would
the citizens of the place do to favor
the movement?
la answer to this, quite brisk, run
ming talk replied FIRST of aIl, i'm
press upon THIS committee that John
son City has just the building, in the
splendid Carnegie hotel" suited for
this purpose. The building cost il
cash, by day labor, $4,000, and can
now probably BE- bought Tor $4,000
In ninety days it could be put in
running order. II is furnisht d from,
top to bottom. The proposed college
in this way, could get an advantage
OF 100000, and an immediate start, by
coming to Johnson City, which al
ready possesses water works, electric
lighting aud street cars, and three
railroads in operation.
A number of speakers also stated
that private subscriptions, in the way
of land and lots, could be had some
had Iready been offered.

Here are some pointers for the
wheelwoman: When you have your BIZ
cycle skirt fitted take your wheel to
the dressmaker's or tailor's, if she or
he has not one, and sit in the position
you take while riding, while the filter
pins your skirt in place. This is the
only sure way of getting perfect fit
and a gracefully hanging skirt, know,
for l didn't do it!
A slightly fluted coat-tail, reaching
from hip to hip on your bicycle jacket,
gives a very neat finish to a costume
for the wheel, and also helps give an
effect of narrowness woman's back
between the hips, which invariably ap-
pear abnormally large while riding.
Have the fluted coattail nearly quar-
ter of a yard long, SO that it will reach
nearly to the saddle.
Don't burden yourself down with leg
gings while cycling, girls. The new
Logging stockings, finished with but
tons and imitation button-holes, are SO
much more comfortable, and heater,
too. They come in both tan and black
and have the appearance of Logging
without the latter's clumsiness and
warmth. But be sure to sew the but
tons on. l didn't.
If your shirt waist cuffs are finished
with two sets of button-holes, fasten
the upper set with narrow ribbon
drawn through and tie in a small, neat
bow. The ribbon looks very dressy
and is certainly preferable to the load
of bric-a-brac carried around by many
girls on their cuffs.-Philadelpb
