The health of the community
is very good except few cases
of fever. Mr.. Jackson Plver
Just over the line in North Caro-
lima has fever in his home, but
the sick ones are improving.
Mr. Hosea Beaver Of the Sapp's
neighborhood is very sick with
fever.
We have had good rains and
although crops were seriously
damaged, yet with good seasons
for few weeks we will have
no right to complain with our
crops. Cotton is small but we'll
trulted and early corn is cut off,
but late corn promises to be
very good More cane in this
community than for many
years. Some good hogs and
some fine potato patches. All
these things speak well for the
community
"A prot"acted meeting is in
progress ut Tabernacle. Bro
Winn will be assisted by Bro
Wilkes from Rock Hill. Two
services each day at II o'clock
a. m. and 2 o'clock p. m.
Tabernacl" High School will
open out in full the first Mon.
day III September and until then
the school will be run by Rev.
W. q. Winn and wife. Prot.
Sharp OF Spartanburg will then
take charge of the school with
Rev. Winn and wife as assist
ants. Now parents if you want
to send your boys and girls to
school at home, we claim that
we will have as good a high
school rs can be found in this
State. We have first class
teachers, plenty house room,
healthy location, good roads,
three mails per week, cheap,
good board for students, rates
Of tuition very low and every
effort possible will be put forth
to make the school first class in
all respects. We also have preach
ing twice per month and Sun
day school every Sunday. All
we ask is to give our school q
trial and we are sure you want
to educate your children as
cheap as possible and ut the
same time build up your own
community. We are not max
ing war against any other
school, but we want to let yCu
know that you have tirst-ciass
school almost at your own doors
Any other information you may
wish, write to Prof. Sharp or
either of the assistants at O. K,

If "Veritas" fails to recover,
though he IS rapidly improving
you may hear from us again.

woman scored an unusual victory in

night. She got on a Pullman car at
tnched TO the Southern's train at Bir-
mingham yesterday afternoon. and showed
ticket and a Pullman car coupon for
Washington. When the train arrived at
Atlanta last night at 1870 it was found
that the woman was the only passenger
or the car ticketed for the North. When
car attached to the north-bound
Fl ON her card-case and said: This en-,
titles me to a section in this car to Wash
ington.'' THAT is all right madam re-
piled the conductor. Other arrange
ments have been made, and this car will
not go through" !" Il think it WILL" said
the lady. My coupon says l. am to ride
in this car TO Washington, and I don't
propose to leave the car" Efforts of the
officials to make the woman leave the
Pullman We're in vain. She was perfectly
cool and determined. and finally the rail-
way officials admitted defeat by attaching
the Pullman. with its single passenger,
to the north-bound train and carrying it
through to Washington. The car was
without a conductor or porter and pas
sengers along the way thought it a dead
head car but ]. NJ. Culp, traffic mana ger
of the Southern. and J. L. Cox, a solicit
ing freight agent for the road. who were
on the train at Atlanta, admitted inglo-
rious defeat for their company. The name
of the woman was not given by the
Southern officials. She was we'll dressed
ard distinguished looking.

The income from the works. aside from
the interest on the plant last year, was
ST., GOO. The total increase up to that
time was ss63. .46l.7o In 1897 it was Sill
97299; in 1885, s46,1o11s; in 1899, s41.Sss.Sl
In 1900, sSs,56S.1S.
These figures are disputed by those who
are negotiating for the works, who say
that if proper charges Were made for
interest on investment, etc, the appar--
I ent profit would vanish like mist before
the morning sun.
EXPENSES TO BE CHARGED. :.
They point out that one report stated
that the gas works could be put in per-
feet condition for 81, 900, and that now,
when more than $4,000 has been ex-
pended there, the plant is still far from
being up-to-datc, and no provision has
been made to prevent the homes of the
city from being plunged into gloom when
ever the river rises sufficiently high.
They further point out that no city In
the country as large as Richmond owns
its gas plant, having found it more pro-
titable in every way to put them in the
hands of private parties. ana thus re-
move them from politics.
1t is the intention Of Mr.. Bryant and
his associates to push the matter vigor-
ousy. The names Of those composing the
