The County Alliance.

The County Alliance.
The regular quarterly meeting of
the York County Alliance will be held
in Yorkville on the second Friday in
April 14th). The principal business
of interest will probably be matters in
connection with the state exchange.
This, however, is the meeting at which
arrangements are usually made for the
holding of the annual encampment at
Tirzah.
He Is Queer.
Drs. R. A. Bratton and T. R. Caro-
theirs, on yesterday, examined Negro
named Will Henderson, sent over from
Fort Mill few days ago charged with
lunacy. The Negro has the reputation
in the Fort Mill community Of being
of unsound mind. The doctors found
his case to be a rather puzzling one
but they are rather inclined to think
that the charge is we'll founded. They
will SO report to Dr.. Babcock.
Gave Himself Up.
Constable John w. Pursley, of Kings
Mountain township, brought William
Falls to Yorkville on last Tuesday and
committed him to Jail. Falls is charged
with having been an accessory before
the fact to the murder of Monroe Love
on the night of February 10. He is
resident of North Carolina and has
been living in that state since the kill
ing. He surrendered to Constable
Pursley on Tuesday, claiming that he
had Just heard of his being wanted.
Tax on Rent Liens.
1t is not generally known; but it Is
a fact all the same, that while the gov
ernment does not require any war rev.
enue tax on liens for advances, it de-
mands the sum of 25 cents on each
lien for rent. Just how this comes
about would be difficult to figure out.
It might be the result of oversight on
the part of the tax gatherer, who is
reported to never close his eyes, or it
may be that the government is con-
siderate enough not to attempt to eat
up crop until after it has been gath
cred.
An unusually miserable looking beg
gar was on the streets of Yorkville on
Thursday. He is paralytio, who is
able to walk only with the greatest
difficulty and his condition is well CAL
culated to excite sympathy. Although
he has been the recipient of good
many dimes and quarters from tender
hearted citizens, it is the pretty gener-
al opinion that such people ought, for
reasons of humanity, be subjects of
public, rather than private, charity.
There are good reasons why they
ought not to be allowed to roam at
large as promiscuous beggars.
The Mill Creek Hill.
Supervisor Culp, on Monday, visited
the Mill Creek hill, in Bethel township,
about which there has been such strong
complaint to the board of county COM
missioners. He found the bill in as
bad condition as was represented. The
place is impossible; but with judicious
macadam work for distance of 60 or
70 feet, the trouble can be remedied.
Mr.. Culp proposed that if the people
of the vicinity would supply the nee
essary stone, he would see that the
balance of the work was attended to
properly. The understanding is that
the necessary stone will be put on the
ground without delay.
He Is a Good Talker.

Pittsburg, Pa, was announced to de-
liver an address in the Presbyterian

Tigers and Tigers.
"They tell me that Guthriesville is
getting to be the worst place for blind
tigers in this country. I have been
told that jugs are put off there by
every train, and that the express traf-
fc from up the road is as heavy as to
Yorkville." This statement was made
