The County Court in quarterly
session tho first Monday in this
month passed the question of max
ing an appropriation for the Cen
tennial until the April term. This
was done not simply through cour-
tcsy for the Commissioners who
presented the question, but that
the constituents of the members
of the County court might take the
matter under advisement and then
instruct the representatives of their
respective districts to cast their
vote either in faver of or against
the proposed appropriation. This
is as it should be, for there is no
question, but that the citizen who
takes an Interest in the prosperity
and the advancement of the coun.
ty will favor q reasonable appro-
priation or one that will be sufli.
cient to properly present the re-
sources OF the grand old county OF
Lawrence to the visitors of the
Tennessee Centennial, and there is
no doubt but that those citizens
who have one spark Of patriotism
or pride in the birth of the volun
tecr state will endorse " reasonable
appropriation. We can not affort
to wholly ignore the appeal made
to us by Ttnnessee's most loya
and best ofcitizens for help to as
sist in celebrating our centennial
And we hope that those who hay,
any interest in the success of thu
Centennial will make knowa1>thei
desire to the member of the coun
ty court from their district SO tina
they may cast an intelligent vot'
at the April tenn.
The magistrates are DESTROYS o
doing what a majority of the citi
zens of the county wish, but I'm
less you take it upon your self t.
60 to them and instruct them as t.
how you stand they have no way
of determining the true feeling Q
the people and to be OH the sal
side might refuse to vote for tn
appropriation and as a c'msequen
Lawrence would not be represent
ed to the world at the Centennial
The appropriation will be an ir
vcstment which will yield the eli

CAUGHT IN THE ICE.
Long Islanders Caught Across Great South
Bay in the Ice.

PATCHoGUE, l.. l., Feb. 49,
Much apprehension is felt here for
the safety OF the persons who
crossed the Great South Bay yes
terday to visit the steamship Lam
ington, stranded at Fire Island
beach. Many went to gather
oranges, and it had been given out
that the fruit was to be floated.
The cold snap froze the bay solid
enough to make return to shore
impossible, the boats being unable
to break their way through the ice
field. All day long those on shore
have been testing the ice to see IL
1t was strong enough to support
ice boats, that trip might be
made to the ship to ascertain the
condition OF the missing towns
men. Many OF those on the beach
are lily provided with clothing,
and must be suffering from sever
ity of the weather. Some of the
more venturesome who carried no
extra clothing have perished from
the cold. The families OF the miss
ing are in a distressed state OF
mind and fear the worst. Several
seamen held a consultation at mid.
night and decided to resort to
heroic measures to reach the miss
ing men, should they not be able
to reach land this morning.
1t is estimated that the number
of men who made the trip into the
bay is so, and OF this number none
have been heard from.

: s..:: RELATIATORY INSURANCE.
Governor Morton Signs the Bill Excluding
- -. Foreign COMPANIES.

wa fNN-A~N'
ALBANY, n. Y, Feb. lS.-The
signing of the "retsliatory insur-
ance bill" by the governor, was a
victory for the American COM
panies who have made a fight.
The governor said, in attaching
his approval to the bill:
"The immediate occasion of the
passage OF this bill is said to be the
difficulties and distractions en-
countered by several New York
life insurance companies in trans
acting business in certain foreign
countries, in which they were ar
bitrarily excluded and prohibited
from transacting business. They
had been for several years engaged
in business there, and il is not
claimed that they had failed to
comply with any of the require
ments imposed upon them. Their
exclusion under the circumstances
seems to justify action by the leg
islature and this bill was passed to
provide means to protect our home
corporations by requiring the SUI
perintendent to exclude foreign
corporations from the privilege Of
transacting business here, when
the like privilege is denied to our
companies desiring to transact
business in a foreign country.
While retsliatory legislation is
not usually to be recommended it
should be enacted for the purpose
of self defence and protection OF
business in this country, whenever
it appears that any other country
is unwilling to accede to our citi-
zens reasonable reciprocal privi-
leges within its dominion.
The governor goes on to note the
| objections offered to the bill and
concluded by saying:
"The probability of the exclusion
of any foreign company under the
bill Is, / think, very remote, but
even IL few Of the companies now
doing business in this state shall
be excluded under the operation of
this law, it seems quite clear there
will continue to be enough insur-
ance in addition to which might
be obtained under the law
last cited to accommodate the nee.
essities Of our people. The just
ness OF the principle embodied in
this bill is almost universally con-
coded by those who have given it
at tention and while some objec-
tons to the measure should be
made as to modification in form
and shape these do not seem of
sufficience to call for the return of
the legislature for that purpose.
The bill is therefore approved"
