Tribute OF Respect.

At regular communication Of Hiram
Lodge. No. Gs, A. +. NJ, held Sept Z,
1899. the following. committee report
was received and unanimously adopted /:
To the Worhipful Master. Wardens. and
members of Hiram Lodge. No. Gs.
\. f. NJ -
Brethren: Your committee appointed
to prepare suitable resolutions on the
death of K. ". Bro Thomas +. Hill sub
nit the following:
In the prime of life lie was cut down;
at the iloodtde of manhood he was
taken. Yes. when his usefulness in the
various spheres of life was becoming
more and more apparent, the Grand Ar
tificer laid upon him his uncrring hand
and babe him cease his labors; and on a
peaceful Sabbath. the 9th day of July,
1899. in the 43rd year of his life, the
noble spirit of Capt. Thomas Foster Hill
took it's eternal flight to that ''undiscov-
cred country from whose bourne no tray-
elcr ever returns.
Bro. Hill had been member of Hiram
Lodge since May 18th, 1885. a period Of
eleven years, during which time he had
filled most of the Offices OF the Lodge
and had served the Lodge thrice as Wor-
shipful Master. In 1895 he was appointed
District Deputy Grand Master of the 1st
Masonic District of South Carolina, COM
prising the counties OF Pickens, Oconee:
Abbevillc and Anderson. Again in 1897,
when the Masonic territory was re-dis-
tricted. he was appointed District Deputy
Grand Master for the 7th Masonic Dis
trict of South Carolina, embracing only
the county of Anderson, which position
he held at thetime of his death.
Now. while we bow with humble SUBJ
mission to the will of the Great Architect
OF the Universe. we mourn the loss OF so
good man as our deceased brother;
and. though not permitted here to emu
meratc his excellent traits, we deem it
fitting 70 pay this last tribute to his
memory; therefore be it
Resolved, That in his death Hiram
Lodge has lost one of its most useful
members; Masonry one of its chief sup
ports; the church one of its most earnest
advocates: the community at large q
friend, and the State and County a vallla-
BILE citizen.
Resolved, That we hereby pay tribute
to his high character, his integrity, his
devotion to duty, his love for Masonry;
and above all, his strict adherence to its
principles as evidenced in his daily life
which was ever squared by the square of
virtue and morality.
Resolved, That his noble life is en-
slirined in our memories and that we
will ever cherish it with reverence and
affection, that blank page in our min
ute book be dedicated to him, that the
secretary be instructed to spread these
resolutions upon record and to transmit
u copy to the secretary of the Grand
Lodge and to the family of the deceased,
and also to furnish copy to each of the
county papers for publication.
Respectfully submitted,

REMARKABLE ERA OF PROSPERITY
Present Year Promises to Eclipse All Others
In It's Industrial History.

General trade in Wholesale and manu-
featuring lines is quieting down, but Is
unuIsturbed by the money situation, the
intiuers,es Of which have been confined
TO speculative Cl.oies. Holiday trade,
on the other hand, has been given a de-
cided impetus, and comparisons with the
same period Of preceding years are
uniformly favorable, little doubt re-
naming that although retail trade in
seasonable lines has been somewhat af-
feeted In some localities by unfavorable
weather holiday specialties have en-
Joyed exceptional activity AS regards
prices, 1t is a notable fact that as many
staples have advanced this week as have
declined, while by far the larger num-
Der Of quotations have remained steady
or firm
The strength OF textiles is still a most
notable feature Of the general situation.
cotton goods are heavily sold ahead by
agents, and a very large spring bust
ness has already been booked. Raw
cotton Is firm and unchanged on the
week, partly owing to light receipts, anl
TO re-aflirmation Of short crop esti-
mate by the department Of agriculture.
Manufactured goods, where not adj
vanced, are firmly held. Wool is less
active than Of late, but prices are no
less hrm, and some finer grades are
quotaple higher Wooden goods share
the strength Of the raw material, and
SILK and Its products are also firmly held
In most lines Of iron and steel quiet
ness and firmness are coincident.
In Industrial lines the features of the
week are the numerous advances in
wages of textile mill employees, from
which 1t is estimated that 1875, 900 opera
tlves, north and south, have had. or
VIII have, their earnings increased
From Fall River comes a report that a
number of mills there will soon proceed
to run night and day. but low water in
many streams is credited with curtailing
the output at some New England CEN
tiers. There is some talk Of accommo-
dation in the dispute of the building
trades at Chicago, and the present out
look is that 1899 will go down in in
dustrial history as year notable for
numerous wage advances, and for ex-
ceptionally few strikes and lockouts.
Bank clearings this week aggregate
sl,9l9,13O,547, a falling off OF percent
from last week, but gain of 10 percent
over the corresponding week a year ago,
and of 40 percent over 1897
Business failures number for the week
only 210 as compared with 200 last week,
and 2S4 in this week year ago.

No Fear OF General Trouble.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Comptroller Of
the Currency Dawes is very reluctant to
talk about the failure of the Broadway
National bank or the general banking
condition in Boston, but he dictated the
following: THE general condition of
the Boston banks is strong, and there is
no ground for fear of any general
trouble. The causes of embarrassment
of the Broadway National bank are due
to the failure of the Squire Packing COM
pany. Emil the report of the temporary
receiver has been received no estimate
can be given as to the probable results
of the liquidation of the Broadway Ma
tional bank. While the capital has been
lost, heavy loss is not expected for the
depositors."

A MONEY FURRY.

New York, Dec. 19.-The Produce Ex-
change Trust company has closed its
doors. A statement of its condition is
sued by the Produce Exchange Trust
company gives Its liabilities as 81, 649,-
600 and its assets as $11,719,5OO. The
statement says the assets are ample to
meet all liabilities.
1t was announced on the floor of the
STOCK exchange that the firm Of Henry
Allen d. Co., bankers and brokers, had
suspended. The suspension Is attributed
to the failure of some of it's customers
to respond to calls for additional mar
gins, made necessary by recent declines.
The house has been known as trader on
rather an extensive scale.
Panic conditions developed on the
stock exchange in the afternoon, with
the imperative need of money developed
by the violent contraction in values
Stocks were thrown over without the
slightest regard to the price they would
bring and at distressing sacrifice of
values.
NO end to the helplessness of the
situation seemed in sight, when, in the
last half hour Of the market, some So
OOO,OO0 was offered on the stock exchange
by the concerted action of the clearing
house banks, to force the rate down
to percent, without regard to the dis
tracted bidding at higher rates. which
was being done by brokers for distressed
operators. The collapse in the money
rate checked the decline and drove the
bears to cover. The recoveries pro-
duced by their urgent bidding were al.
most as violent as the declines had been.
but the losses were by no means en-
tirely retrieved. Large offerings of
stocks continued at the rally. and at
some points of the list prices broke
anew before the close, making the clos
ing exceedingly irregular and unsettled.
The excitement continued to the end.
with sentiment looking forward anx-
iously for the developments of another
day.
The days transactions ran up to a
total of nearly 1,650,OOO shares, which
Is the record for days business. The
excitement was intense all day, and
throngs of brokers and operators surged
over the floor of the exchange and about
every post all day long. The changes
in prices between sales ran up to one,
two and even three points, both on the
down grade and on the recovery. AZ
ter the close Of the exchange there was
meeting Of the clearing house COM
mittee to concert further measures
for safety and relief. An issue of
clearing house certificates was dis
cussed, but the bank presidents present
decided that it would be advisable for
the present.

TIDING OVER TROUBLES.
The General Situation at Boston Has Been
Considerably Relieved.

Boston, Dec. ia director of the
Broadway bank says that the officials
yesterday realized on the 5000, 900 ware
house receipts deposited by the j. P.
Squire company to secure some of their
paper. The same gentleman says that
1t is probable that the comptroller
of the currency will issue an order today
permitting the re-opening Of the bank.
1t is understood on State street that as
sistance has been pledged which will
put the bank into a position to resume
business at the latest, before the week is
ended.
Receiver Wing of the Broadway bank,
In an interview, said he was very much
pleased with the showing made of the
bank securities which have so far come
under consideration. The bank officials
presented matters very much worse
than they now seem to be, and every
discovery made has been in the banks
favor. This does not include. how
ever, any of the Squire paper, every
dollar of which. when made whole, will
be reckoned as a clear gain.
Confidence in financial circles was ap-
parently restored by the united efforts
during Sunday of bankers and brokers',
only to be again shaken by the failures
in New York, so that, while the entire
situation is not particularly alarming,
1t is still grave enough to cause con-
siderable apprehension.
The local stock market quickly fol-
lowed New York in the stock Decline but
the slump did not bring with it any fail
ures among local brokers, that is, none
had been announced up to the closing of
the stock exchange.

SAYS

For over twenty-five years | have
constantly been engaged in the active
discharge ofmy profession as physician
and surgeon. During that career have
perfected an Alternative medicine, the
Favorite Remedy, upon the value Of which
am willing to, and do stake my per-
sonal and professional reputation
"Favorite remedy is the greatest dis.
covery DR.. Kennedy has ever made"
1t is to-day a standard medicine with
thirty years of cures to its credit.
Allow no one to deceive you with their
browning efforts, latest achievements or
brilliant fruits, counterieits, limitations
or just as good. They are but expert
nents and endanger your health.
Most physicians are ready enough to
give their services when a family is too
poor to pay, but it occasionally happens
that there is a proprietary medicine
which does all or more than a physician
could do.
1--WE know of onlv one such medicine
namely DR.. David Kennedy's hvorite rem
edy" for such troubles as Kidney and
Bladder Complaints, Rheumatism, Dys-
pepsia, Liver Complaint, Constipation
and sickness peculiar to women.
Sufferers from these difficulties often
become so discouraged as to have no
heart to take any more medicine. To
all such, DR.. Kennedy has only to say
that if he were personally called upon
to prescribe at all, he would prescribe
Favorite remedy"
There are other proprietary medicines
in the market, made by a person with
the same name and initial as my own
and have reason to believe than the
two are often COMPOUNDED in peoples
minds, and that the other articles spoken
OF, have been substituted, either through
accident or design, when the latter have
been asked for, or desired. To avoid this
please ask for DR.. David Kennedy's
Favorite remedy, prepared in Rondout,
N. Y, and accept nothing else in its place.
There are two proprietors of similar
names. but they are not connected or
associated in business, or otherwise.
Those who wish consultation or adj
vice as to their own specialca can have

DEATH OF LIEUTENANT BRUMBY.
Gallant Officer Who Served Under Dewe,
Succumbs to TYPHOID Fever.

Lieutenant Thomas M. Brumby, flag
lieutenant to Admiral Dewey during the
Manila campaign, who has been i'll with
typhoid fever for several weeks, died
at Washington on Sunday evening.
The lieutenant's present illness dated
from about Nov. o. the first symptom
being nothing more than a cold which.
however, failed to yield to treatment,
and soon afterwards he went to the Gar
held hospital, where he died. Admiral
Dewey was unremitting in his attentions
to him until his condition became pre-
carious and visitors were not allowed to
see him.
Lieutenant Brumby was appointed a
naval cadet from Georgia. entering the
service on Sept. 20, 1873, and his present
commission dates from Aug. "a. 1892
Practically all the time during the last
two years he has been with Admiral
Dewey. In his report of the battle of
Manila Admiral Dewey spoke in very
complimentary terms of the services and
gallantry of his flag lieutenant, and
recommended that he be advanced some
numbers on the list of lleutenants. His
Recommendation was adopted by the
navy department and the name sent to
the senate, but, together with q number
of other promotions made by the depart
ment, failed to be acted upon. The pro-
motion recommended placed him about
18th on the list Of leutenants, and had II
been confirmed he would in less than n.
year from now have reached the prada
of lieutenant commander. The lieuten-
ants death is the third Of those who were
closely associated with Dewey at the
battle of Manila who have died since
that time, namely, Captain Gridley.
Commander Wood and Lieutenant
Brumby.
Lieutenant Brumby was presented a
sword by the Legislature Of Georgia on
Oct. 20.
