VIII Scoop the Pot.

New YORK, Jan. 9.-From a sub
scribing member of the J. Pierpont
Morgan bond syndicate the following
facts have been obtained:
The syndicate expects to secure the
entire 500, 900 per cent. bonds
which are to be SOLD by the treasury
on Feb. ).
Mr.. Morgan will bid for the entire
issue and expect to awarded the entire
800, ,O0O,000. 1t will take all or none.
The reason for Mr.. Morgan's conf
dence of entire success is that he will
make an offer so advantageous that
no other proposition can stand in his
way.
This offer is to purchase the entire
500, 100000, paying principal and
premium in gold, and in addition,
furnishing an amount in gold equal to
one-third of the issue, Or S33, 333 33333.-
333, in exchange for greenbacks. The
government gold reserve will thus not
only be brought up to the recognized
limit, but will have large surplus
for its protection.
The price which the syndicate will
offer is not exactly known by any one
besides Mr. Morgan. 1t will be con-
siderably more than the 104 l-2 paid
last February. This low premium was
paid because Of the provision in the
contract compelling the syndicate to
protect the treasury reserve. No such
contract will be made this time.
Therefore higher price will be paid.
The figure is believed to be l0S.
The syndicate is now accumulating
gold from every available source.
Members Of the syndicate will be at
liberty to make individual bids besides
the syndicate bid.
This is the state affairs today. The
position will probably hold until Feb.
5, without any change of important
details. The President and secretary
of the treasury have no agreement,
private or public, with the syndicate.
They know, however, what are Mr..
Morgan's intentions and knew it when
the public call was issued.

Is She Advancing Outposts?

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-For some
reason, not apparent on the surface,
the house committee did not today re-
port the changes it proposed to make
in the code of the Fifty-irst congress,
under which the house has so far been
operating, although their work is com
pleted and is in print. Mr. Henderson
(Rep.J of Illinois gave notice that he
would make the report tomorrow.
Mr.. Blue Rep.) of Kansas reported
the general pension appropriation bill
for the year ending June 30, 1897, and
gave notice that he would call it up
after the report of the committee on
rules had been disposed of.
4 concurrent resolution was offered
for immediate consideration by Mr..
Livingston. but Mr.. Boutelle objected.
Following is the text:
That the President of the United
States is hereby requested to forthwith
ascertain whether Great Britain is ad-
vancing her outpoSts on the territory
in dispute between her colony OF Brit
ish Guiana and the republic OF enc
zuela, or is reinforcing posts hereto
fore established with troops, police or
ordinance, and should the President
become cognizant Of the fact that a
British military or police force is ad
vancing to invade or reinforce, or since
the 18th of December last, has invad-
ed or reinforced posts formerly occu-
pied within said disputed territory, he
demand the immediate withdrawal Of
said soldiers and the reduction Of the
police force in said territory to not a
greater number than occupying the
British outposts on the aforesaid 18th
day of December, 1895.
The resolution went to the commit
ee on foreign affairs.

will ultimately be impaired from the
sick man to the well, with little hope
Of being checked by medical skill. If
these terrible diseases are contracted
here by neglect of ours, I consider it
serious cause for complaint on the
part of the prisoners and the think
ing public. For further and more
complete report, would beg to refer
YOU to the itemized statement Of DR..
D. S. Pope, our skilled and palnstak-
ing physician.
As to the spiritual condition Of the
institution, am glad to report that the
prisoners seem to take much interest
in the church and Sunday school
work. We have regular church and
Sunday school services each Sabbath
morning and afternoon. For full
report I will call your attention to the
statement of our worthy chaplain,
Rev. A. P. Norris.
It gives me much pleasure in this
public way to thank Mr.. @. D. Stan
lev and his lady assistants for their
tireless energy in the sunday school
work, coming, as they do, every Sun
day, regardless of the weather, to
work in our Sunday school for prison
ers. The prisoners seem to enjoy very
much their work and help, which I
hope will be continued during the
coming year.
Allow me to thank his excellency
Governor Evans for the wise counsel
and help given me in many ways dur
ing the year.
beg also to thank the board Of direct
ors for the kind and courteous treat
ment which I have received at their
hands and the good advice given.
! also thank the clerk, Mr.. r. +.
Burriss, Capt. E. H. Westfeld, DR.; D.
S. Pope, Sergt. W. W. Adams, Rev.
A. P. Norris and all the officers and
guards for the uniform kind treatment
which I have received at their hands.
thank them all for the faithful dis
charge of their duties during the past
IA months; and I hope our relations
will continue as pleasant for the next
year as it has been in the past.
All OF which beg respectfully to
submit. w. A. NEAL,
Snper;nten0ent.

holy undertaking.

holy undertaking.
The General commanding appeals to
and urges these heroic women, survi-
vors OF aheroic age. and all the daugh-
ters of the South who take pride in the
historJ of such worthy and glorious
ancestors, to Immediately, upon the
receips of this order, organize societies
and elect presidents, secretaries, treas
urers and other officers, in every city,
town, hamlet and neighborhood in
the South, and to notify Colonel R. G.
Wood, general manager of the Con-
federate Memorial Association, No. A
Perdido street, New Orlerns, La, so
that he can at once supply them with
subscription books and full instruc.
tons, and respectfully requests that
they will commence without delay the
collection of funds for the erection of
this depository of the records of the
valor of Southern manhood and the
heroism of Southern womanhood, and
continue their efforts Systematically,
making the Memorial Festival Day"
May !, 1896, the elimination of their
efforts.
The money raised by each society
and in each locality must be deposited
in some good bank or other safe de-
pository, to the order of the United
Confederate Veterans for the use of
the Confederate Memorial Association
to remain until called for by proper
authority.
In the meantime, each society or To-
cality, where money is raised, will re-
port the amount collected to Colonel
r. G. Wood, general manager Of the
Confederate Memorial Association,
No. A Perdido street, New Orleans,
La, so that an idea can be formed of
the total amount thus secured.
The General Commanding requests
the old veterans composing the I'll
United Confederate Veteran Camps of
this Association to render all the as
sistance possible to the ladies engaged
in this holy cause.
The General Commanding also re-
quests that every newspaper through
out The South and elsewhere, favorable
to this grand historic enterprise, will
publish this order, and with editorial
comment give it the widest publicity.

Uni leasing War Dogs.

LONDON, Jan. 7.-The Times tomor-
row will say that orders have been
sent to Portsmouth, Davenport and
Catham for the immediate placing in
commission of six ships to form fly
ing squadron. 1t is understood that
captains for the vessels have already
been chosen. The object is obviously
to have an additional squadron ready
to 90 anywhere. The squadron will
be composed of two first class battle
ships and two first and two second
class cruisers. The names of the YES
sells are yet unknown, but there IS
hardly a question that either the Roy
al Oak or Revenge, now at Ports
mouth, will hoist the pennant. The
Endymoin and Thesus, not at Chat
ham, are likely to be two of the cruls-
ers selected. The paper adds that it
has also been decided to dispatch ma
val force to Delagoa bay, but whether
it will be composed of vessels from
the Cape or East Indian squadron is
unknown.
Commentingupon these naval prep
arations, The Times will say, it hopes
that as nothing can be gained by keep
ing the Mediterranean fleet at Saloni-
ca, it will shortly be ordered to con-
centrate where it can be more imme-
diately available in case of need.
Relative to this report about Ger
many ordering marines to the Trans
vaal, the Times refuses to believe the
report until it shall be proved that
Portugal consented for them to pass
through her territory. 1t adds, how
ever, that it would not be surprised to
learn that efforts had been made to
tempt her disloyalty to a friendly
power and old ally. If the proposed
landing of marines at Delagoa bay
was not done under the agreement
with Portugal. it was intended as an
act of flibustering more reprehensible
than DR.. Jameson's, because it was
projected by a regular government
fully aware of the character of the ac-
ton in the eve of international law.

Railroads Will Not Obey.

COLUMBIA, January 7.-The fight
between the railroads and the railroad
commission on the fertilizer rates is
going to assume an interesting phase
in very short time. 1t was learned
today from a commissioner that none
of the roads had put into effect the re-
duced rate as promulgated by the COM
mission recently and that they positive
" refused to do so even when demand
was made upon them. The commits
sion has received numerous COM
plants along this line from shippers,
and the refusal of the roads to comply
with tho rates makes an open war be-
tween them and the commission.
There is no way provided for the
commission to enforce the rates ex-
cept through the interposition of the
Courts and that course will be taken.
It is understood by the members Of the
commission that none of the roads
are carrying out the new rate, and
they will be proceeded against in the
Courts. The matter has been referred
to the Attorney General and he will
take action soon. The Attorney Gen
eral has been in Chester for the past
week or two and returned to Colum-
bia today, and he has taken the case
under consideration and Will act af-
ter making due investigation. The
statute on the question provides that
when a railroad company refuses to
carry out the regulations of the COM
mission a mandamus must issue from
Court OF the State. and that the rail
road shall be liable to fine of 81, 900
and not to exceed $1,000 for each Of
fence. In connection with this subject
one of the commissioners states that
no papers have been served upon them
in the reported injunction proceedings
begun in the United States Court IN
Charleston. Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Townsend, who was in Charles
ton on Monday, informs the commits
sion that no such papers have yet been
fled with the clerk of the Court.

There's Wisdom
in Economy,

And there are different sorts
OF economy. The economy
which "saves at the spigot
and wastes at the buug" Is
worse than no economy at
all.
The truest saving Is to buy
the best your pocketbook
will afford at the lowest
price for which 1t can be
sold.
We buy the best of every
thing.
We sell on such a close mar.
gin of profit that our Gus
toners feel confident that
bottom has been struck.
Hence the active, progress
sive look of things which
some people wonder at.
It's very simple this honest
shopkeeping when you know
how, and the trading public
will always pin their faith
to an establishment of this
kind.
