State Treasurer and ex.otiicio Treas
urer and Secretary of the Sinking
Fund Commission.
The commission had about $173, 600
loaned out in 90 days time on Febru-
ary /. These loans, it is said, will be
at once called in. AS will be seen the
holders of State bonds will still have
the preference on loans and the coun
ties can borrow whatever is left.
Barnwell has asked for loan of
$S,OOO; Williamsburg for $1,000; !;
Georgetown for $500, and Oconee
Tor 50, 500. York and Richland wish
to borrow some, but have not yet stat
ed how much. Aiken wants to bor-
row $4,000 for ordinary county pur-
poses and has written asking if she
will be allowed to borrow $6, 900 more,
pledging the special tax of 10th of a
mill levied for six years for the pur-
pose of erecting new court house.
lnasmuch as no loan can be made for
longer than one year it is safe to say
that Aiken cannot get this 81, 600.
A meeting of the commission has
been called for March 80 to consider
all these matters. 1t will no doubt be
attended by all the members. State.

The Yellowstone National Park is un-
questicnably the most interesting re-
gion on the globe, for within 1t is dis
played the greatest collection of ma
ture's manifold wonders. Indeed, this
mountain-bound plateau, high up on
the summit of the everlasting Rockies,
is Il veritable playground for the worlds
giant forces. To stand and gaze upon
them in all their marvellous manifesto
tions, the great geyser upheavals, the
fierce steam blasts, the terrible leap of
the river, and the awful canon. is a
revelation, an experience to be had at
no other point on earth.
The personally-conducted tour of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company which
leaves New York on September ., affords
the most satisfactory means Of visiting
this wonderland and viewing its marvel
Gus features. Tourists will travel by
special train OF Pullman smoking, din
ing, sleeping, and observation cars in
each direction. Eight days will be
spent in the Park Stops will also be
made returning at st Paul and Chicago.

all necessary expenses.

The Man who Knows il all.

Everyone is familiar with the man
who knows it all-the individual who
goes ahead, hit or miss, regardless and
even resentful Of any counsel, however
wise IL may be. The end OF that man is
always trouble and vexation Of spirit
for himself, his friends and associates.
1t is incomphrehensible that there are
such people, and many Of them, and
yet such is the undoubted case. Away
back in the days OF Plato he abounded,
for that great philosopher doubtless
had an admonition for them in view
when he wrote: 'The learning and
knowledge we have are, at the most,
but little compared with that of which
we are ignorant" The thought OF the
vast amount OF knowledge beyond the
ken OF the wisest of men ought to make
all men humble and careful in asserting
themselves, but it is often the case that
the man who knows the least is the
most aggressive in practically main
tanning that he must certainly know
everything. When man has really
well grounded reasons for his opinions
1t is well for him to be positive in as
serting them, but even the most care
full of men will make mistake II they
entirely eliminate from their thoughts
the idea that they may possibly not be
possessed of all the facts, and refuse to
give hearing to those who may offer
to throw new light upon a subject in
which they are interested. .--Pittsburg

It has been the custom here for fif-
teen or sixteen years for the miners to
elect a checkweighman and have the
company collect his pay through the
Office, thus saving the checkweighmen
and the miners considerable trouble.
The acknowledgment are paid by the
miners for the express purpose of seeing
that they get just weight for all the
coal they dig. Recently the cars were
run over some of the scales at this place
so rapidly that it was Impossible to get
the correct weight Of the Car and its
contents. The checkweighmen report
ed the matter to the superintendent and
1t was adjusted for awhile. Soon after
this the company refused to collect the
pay for checkweighmen. The men
claim this is done with view of doing
away with acknowledgment entirely at
the mines in this place..

Every town has its different class of
citizens. Some pull on every string
that will benefit themselves and their
neighbors, and sometimes il they do
not see much for themselves but do see
that their neighbors will be benefited,
pull just as hard. Others never pull
unless they can see the direct benefit to
themselves, and sometimes let go If
they think their neighbors will
be benefited. They are too selfish to
be Of any benefit outside of simply
adding one to the population and con-

This week we publish the bill passed
by the last legislature, and signed by
Gov. Hastings June %, 1897, for the re-
moyal of aliens from our public insti-
tutions. The investigating committee,
that was appointed by the Legislature
of 1895, ascertained that this State was
paying annually 81, 100000 for the pau
pers and INDECENT insane from foreign
lands who have never become citizens of
this Commonwealth. The result of the
investigation startled the State, and
the bill, which we print, passed both
branches OF the Legislature without a
dissenting vote.
