the question, "What rules the worlds''
arose, and various opinions were ex-
pressed. William Ross Wallace, who
was present, retired before long, and
some time later called Thomas ]. Leigh
from the room and handed to him a
poem which he had Just written. Mr..
Leigh read it aloud TO the company, and
Mr.. Brougham made happy little
speech Of acknowledgement The thing
was entitled What Rules tho World, -
and the first stanza ran:
They say that man * mighty.
He governs land and sea,

A BEDFAST WOMAN

HAS COST A MINT OF MONEY.
But Election Expenses Must be Paid
Out of the General Fund.

1t is reported here that an attempt
will be made in many counties to pay the
expenses of the local tax election, held
Hast Tuesday, out of the school fund, in
stead of the general fund.
This fact was yesterday called to the
attention of Supt. AIebane. L wish to re-
mind the county authorities" he SAID,
that the Attorney General, in com
munication to this office, dated June 20,
said: These expenses cannot under any
circumstances come out of the school
funds, for section 5 of the act requiring
this election to be called provides that 1t
shall be conducted under the same rules
and regulations as are prescribed for the
election of members of the General AS
sembly."
Mr.. Mebane further said that close
watch would be kept on this matter and
in no case would a county be allowed to
pay the expenses of this election out of
the general fund.
It is estimated that this election has
cost the State not less tan $4,000, per-
lhaps more. The expense of holding TINS
election was greater than for any ever
held before in this State.
Chapter 379, laws of 1897, reads as fol-
lows, touching the expenses of such eiec-
ltions: "That at all future elections regis
trars and judges of elections shall re-
ceive one dollar per day for each day of
actual service as required by law, and the
person required to carry the returns and
ballot boxes to the clerks of the Superior
courts, except the precinct in which the
county seat is located, shall be allowed
one dollar per day and five cents per mile
one way for his services; that the allow
ance of one cent per name for registra-
ton of voters is hereby repealed and the
CONDENSATION herein allowed is in lieu
, thereof"
Now there are 10000 election pre-
cincts in the State. For each precinct
there were three registrars, who were on
duty six days each, at 81 each per day.
There were also three judges of election
who served one DAY at a dollar each.
Then the man who brought the returns
to the clerk got dollar a day and five
cents a mile one way. This makes total
expense in each township for registrars
and judges of election alone or nearly
$50; or about $4,000 for the whole
State This includes no printed matter
and many smaller items of expense.
1t will thus be seen that the election
has cost the State more than the schools
would have received from the State if
enough townships had voted the special
tax provided for to get the $4,000 on
hand.
1t is further provided, however, that
Sin every township that fails to levy a
special school tax in 1897, the county
commissioners shall order an election to
be held every two years on the Tuesday
after the first Monoay in August, until
such special school tax is levied"
And this will next time cost the State
another mint of money-but it must each
time be paid out of the general county
fund

SKINNER is IN DISFAvOR.
Butler Will Run Moye Against Him
for Congress.

Will Butler and Skinner bury the
Ratchet? No. But Butler will bury
Skinner if he can, unless reports are
false, and State Senator Moye, Of Green
vile, is the tool he will use for the inter
ment.
A delegate from the State Alliance is
authority for the statement that Butler
and Moye have formed an alliance
whereby Moye is to be a candidate for
Congress in the First district and have
the support of Butler and the majority
Populists generally.
Further, some of Senator Buffers
closest and best friends are swearing
they are done with Skinner and all other
minority Populists. They say if Skinner
comes into their conventions and
tries to participate in the proceedings
they will either have him put out or go
out themselves.
If these decisions are adhered to they
win add much to the gayety of the situa-
ton in the next campaign.

the Alliance, realizing that it's former
officers had used the Alliance as man
uses the lemon-to get the juice out of

reelected John Graham, of Ridgeway, as
president. He was strong anti-Pritch-
