GRAFTON.
MRS. E. S. HALL,

The death of Mrs. Elizabeth S. Hall, which
occurred on the evening of September 26,
calls for more than passing notice OF re-
markable woman. Mrs. Hall was for nearly
30 years postmistress at Grafton, although
for some time the active duties of the office
have been given to her daughter. The keen
interest in public affairs which characterized
earlier years. however, she never lost, but
was in her S0th year, so far as her health
would permit, the same ready thinker and
worker as ever. Living in this quiet town,
and for long periods kept at home by her own
illness or that of her family, Mrs. Halls in
terests and sympathies were yet worldwide.
With rare intellectual gifts, her mind had
been cultivated by years of appreciative read
ing and rich thought. Endowed. too, with
an unusually accurate and ready memory,
and nth rare facility of expression, it was
not strange that those who met her only
casually spoke afterward of her wonderfully
interesting personality. But when one knew
her as a friend, he realized that Mrs. Halls
spirit was as broad and as richly gifted as her
mind. One found her sympathy always so
ready and so sure, her generosity so kind and
so practical in expression, her interest in all
that is good and beautiful so frankly ex-
pressed, her faith so confident, her courage
SO strong, that visit to her always meant
new inspiration for the duties of life and new
appreciation of its opportunities.
Whoever came to her, whether the needy,
the sorrowing or the discouraged, went away
helped and comforted, and into the happiness
of youth and the joy of the prosperous she
never failed to enter with the same welcome
sympathy. Observing all praise, she needs
none" Such life came to a beautiful end
ing, when she babe her friends ''good night"
with words of pleasant anticipation for ETC.
morrow" and then within an hour passed
while asleep to 'the rest that remaineth for
the people of God"

CLOVER'S MAGISTRATE.

Magistrate s. w. Alexander, of Glover,
sent his resignation in to Governor Eller-
be last week.
The only information we have of Mag
istrate Alexander's resignation is the
fact that he has come to the conclusion
that the position does not suit him for the
reason that the annoyance and RESPONSE
bility are more than he cares to put ur
with.
Governor Ellerbe has notified Senate,
Love of the resignation and requested the
senator to call meeting Of the York del
egation for the purpose of nominating
Magistrate Alexander's successor.
The meeting, the reporter understands
Is to be held in Yorkville on the frs
Monday in April; but if there are ye
any candidates for the position, the re-
porter is without information on the sub
ject.
The new magistrate law, so far as it ap
plies to Kings Mountain township, pro
vides for only one magistrate; but this
portion of the act does not take effect un'
til after tho expiration of Governor Eller
be's present term.

from this source. Then again, the Bible
society, which has all along been furnish
ing books at cost, has found that private
publishers haye been underselling it. He
could only account for this on the theory
that probably the private publishers fur
nished inferior work but, all the same,
this competition greatly interferred with
the work of the society and necessitated
reorganization Of its operations along
new lines.
At the conclusion of DR.. Laws address
Mr.. w. w. Lewis, secretary, read the re-
ports of the treasurer and depository. In.
Guiding the amount OH hand last year, the
total cash collected was Sl03.l6. OF this
1892 had been disbursed, leaving bal
ance of S29.94. The value of books in the
depository during the year was Sl2l.3O
OF these, S5l.32 worth were sold or do
mated, leaving on hand stock to the value
Of S69.9S.
Upon reorganization, the names of q
new members were enrolled, the initia
ton fees amounting to $l4, and genera
collection raised "a additional. 1t was de-
cided to donate $50 to the parent society
and this secured the privilege of selecting
life member. Rev. A. N. Brunson wa:
elected.
Officers for the ensuing year were cleo
ted as follows: Rev. W.. 6. Neville
president: w. w. Lewis, ESQ.,, secretary
j. J. Hunter, ESQ.,, treasurer; Messrs. j
A. Watson, w. r. Barron, H. c. Strauss

THE BIBLE SOCIETY.

a meeting of the Yorkville Auxiliary
of the American Bible society, was held
in Trinity church last Sunday evening,
and after prayer by Rev. B. II. Grier
was duly called to order by Rev. w. e.
Neville, president, and addressed by Rev
II. II. Law, district superintendent.
DR.. Law explained that owing to finan-
cial troubles of the parent society, this
would probably be his last visit to the
auxiliary society, at least in the capacity
of district superintendent.
The American Bible society, DR.. Law
explained, had not failed as had been
reported by sensational newspapers. II
had only met with temporary financial
embarrassment, to overcome which would
necessitate considerable contraction OF
it's operations. The society was organized
50 years ago, had made itself an absolute
necessity to the church, and he did not
think it would be allowed to fail. A large
portion of it's capital is invested in the
Bible house in New York. The rent OF
this house has amounted to between
so, 600 and $4,000 a year, and has helped
things wonderfully; but up to late years,
with the drift of New York business con-
Germs sup town." there has been such a
falling off in rents as to reduce the income

Havana and Matanzas, is simply in
describable.
"With reference to the military as
pect of affairs in Cuba, saw nothing
which impressed me with the idea that
Spain knows much about modern war
fare. The soldiers / saw are not drilled
as our soldiers are drilled. Indeed
they lack every element of soldiery
bearing, whatever may be said of their
merits as fighters. The drills that l
witnessed were q travesty on modern
military ideas. While they were un.
dergoing their evolutions the soldiers
were talking to each other, and smok'
ing as freel y and upconcerned!y as
they would do in their mess rooms.
"Naturally there was much talk
about the Maine disaster, and so far as
/ could ascertain from my conversation
with Americans and with those moi
under the influence Of Spaniards, the
opinion was general that the Maine
had been destroyed by an external
agency, and almost every person with
whom discussed the subject in Cubs
expects that the finding of the Amer
ican court of inquiry will substantlate
this view"
