Fort de France cable Of Friday: At
S o'clock this afternoon the sky was
clear and the population was calm;
but despite this favorable change In
the situation many families left Fort
de France by the French steamers
Versailles and the Vile de Tanger for
the island of Trinidad and for Cay
enne, French Guiana. This, with the
l 200 persons who have gone to the is
land of Gaudaloppe and many others
who have sought refuge at st. Lucia
and other islands. has lessened the
popula ton considerably. Besides these
some 1000 people have left for the
southern parts of the island Of Martin
ique, where 5000 refugees have now as
sembled. This desertion Of Fort de
France has resulted in the disorganiza-
ton of many trades. A number of
bakers have been compelled to close
their stores, owing to the fact that
their employees are among those who
have fled. The French cruiser Tage,
having Admiral Servan on board, ar
rived here this evening. She reported
that Mont Pelee now presents a more
reassuring aspect. The clouds of
smoke leaving the crater mingle with
the clouds in the sky and do not have
the threatening aspect which they for
merly presented. A new crater has
formed in the vicinity of Ajoupa
Boullon.

urer. He said also that different men,
bers Of the company had told him that
Mr.. John G. Nicely had represented to
them that the entire Duncan claim had
been settled in full. According to Mr..
Brice's view Of the case, inasmuch as
the United Mutual Life Insurance COM
pany has not been incorporated as al
'eged. the company can only be re-
garded as a co-partnership and con-
sequently every member of that CO.
partnership Is responsible for the whole
amount claimed. He admits. however,
the validity Of the alleged contract Is
a matter for the Interpretation Of the

that Agent Nicely had represented to
them that the company as represented
by George R. Oulights, president"

To Beautify the TOwn-The Graded

Correspondence OF the Yorkville Enquirer.

BLAcKsBuRG, May 26.-While the
good housewives of our community
have always done the best they could
to beautify and adorn their homes, and
have succeeded we'll in making their
houses and yards attractive and home
like, yet recently they have beer
seized with a fervent desire to ai6
their more conservative lords and
husbands to beautify the town in gen.
eral. The Nineteenth Century cluo
has taken in hand the village ceme-
terry which they have had nicely and
thoroughly cleaned off and propose tc
soon have seats placed around at con.
venient distances, where. as our loca
chronicler aptly says: "All who may
feel disposed to contemplate life's last
scene, can literally rest under the
shade Of the trees" The ladies will
then, as soon as possible, enclose the
grounds with a substantial wire fence
Through the instrumentality and
means of these ladies, and Of those who
compose the Maids and Matrons' Book
club, a free lecture was delivered
Thursday night at the city hall by Mr.
E. c. Routhzohn, Of Dayton, O., cores
ponding secretary of the American
League for Civic improvement. The
lecture was entertaining and instruct.
i've and was we'll received by a good
sized assembly of our citizens.
On Friday evening, the commence
ment exercises of the Blacksburg Gra'
ded school were held in the city hall
While the programme was not ar
elaborate one, on account Of the
limited time, yet it was very prettily
arranged and carried out in perfect or
der. A very strong and learned ad-
dress on education, was delivered by
DR.. Montague, president Of Furmar
university, in his usual forceful ano
eloquent style.

THERE is a very general misappre-
hension as to the law relating to the
division Of dispensary profits. Most
people seem to have the idea that the
money the state makes by the sale of
intoxicating liquors goes to the school
fund. This was the case originally;
but the law has been changed, and as
it stands now the state dispensaries
must sell to the county dispensaries at
a profit not exceeding 10 per cent. on
actual cost. The county dispensary
is required to pay the state dispensa-
ry weekly for whisky sold, with 10
per cent. profit on the same. The bal
ance of the weekly sales are turned
over to the county treasurer, and four
times a year he divides the money
equally between the county and the
town in which the dispensary is loca-
ted. There is nothing in the law to in
dicate the disposition of the funds that
so to the town or county. Both may
be used for ordinary purposes. OF the
money that goes to the state, however,
such as may be left from the 10 pei
cent. profit after paying expenses, is
appropriated to educational purposes
under certain prescribed conditions.
