loss of their beloved son.

The "Flat' school house on West
Center street, disused for decade past,
but for many years an indispensable
factor i'll educating our young, is fast
going to destruction. A more forlorn
or disgraceful appearance can scarce
ly be conceived of than is presented by
the old building. There is hardly a
pane of glass remaining in the wind
ows, and on the Center street side
even the sash has been broken in un-
der the hombardment of stones At
several places the weather boards have
been ripped off and the whole build
ing bears the appearance of having
withstood a siege. The school build
ing is held by Thomas West, of Ply
mouth, under three years lease, ac-
cording to the terms of which he is
obliged to keep it in repair. While in
business in Danville. however. Mr..
West made no use of the building.
The school board will probably take
some action at its next meeting look
ing to the protection of the building,

Relaxing the Filing.

Workmen are engaged i'll relaying
the tiling over large space in the
rear portion of Christ Episcopal
church. The floor over that part of the
building although in good condition
seems to have sunk little during the
twenty years that the church has been
standing. Concrete will be used to
raise the floor to the proper level be-
fore the tile is relaid The work is
tedious and proceeds slowly; it will
probably occupy the greater part of
the week. Samuel H. French q Co. of
Philadelphia are doing the work.

AN INDEX TO BUSINESS.

The attention of Tribune readers is
called to the statement Of the condi-
tion of the First National bank, ap-
pearing in another column. A COM
parison with the statement of year
ago shows material Increase in the
business of that institution. AS a
national bank is the very best index
to the degree Of prosperity Of any
community. the statement issued today
by our local bank is more than graft
fying. In this connection it is also
of interest to note that some of the
leading business houses of Florence re-
port a healthy increase of business
over that Of year ago.
Florence is convalescing. Her
pulse is growing stronger and her tenn
persture is nearly normal.
Richer blood is coursing through
her veins, and the tonic which Doc
tor" Robinson las prescribed is build
ing up her system In fact she is
ready at all times TO entertain callers
and help them to share her renewed
health and prosperity.

Nine. Melba's Generosity.

New York, Nov 29-When it was
learned at the opening of the metro
politan grand opera season last week
that Nine Melba would not return to
fill her engagement in the spring. as
had been announced originally, the
great prima donna came in for no lit
tie criticism, it being limited that a
question of salary was the stumbling
block Advices just received from
Australia, where Mime. Melba is now
appearing in concert, show that such
criticisms did the singer great in
justice. Apparently the question of
pecuniary profit is one that does not
keep her awake nights.
1t appears that the whole of the
seats for Melba's first series of concerts
in Australia were booked at unprece-
dented prices before she reached Aus
tralia, hundreds having stayed up all
night in the streets IN order to be in
line at the opening of the sale. Up
on her arrival Mime. Melba took away
the breath of the public in quite an
unexpected way, for she formally an
nounced her intention to devote the
entire proceeds of her triumphal tour
try. She herself started the booking
by taking three boxes at 81, 800 each
The proceeds of her first five concerts
in Melbourne exceeded s75, 00O-and
that in country where high prices
for tickets are unknown-so that the

value of her munificent offer can be
best guaged from this. 1t is proposed
to build with her donations new
wing of the Melbourne hospital, which
will be known as the Melba wing.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

The Governor has signed the
primary election Bill, after sub
hitting to the Legislature his
views of what he conceives to be
serious objections to it, and sug-
costing its recall for further con-
sideration, which proposition was
not entertained. We believe that
many of his objections to the Bill
are well-taken, and we venture
the prediction that only one cleo
ton will ever be held under it.
Senator Noel, of Holmes county,
is the author of this Bill, as he
was of that very inaccurate and
muddled production known as the
Elective Judiciary Constitutional
Amendment. In this very elabo-
rate attempt TO run political par
ties by state machinery, the small
est details are provided for, and
the Senator had an open field for
the exercise of his peculiar talent
for the Impractical.
The Senate declined to change
the bill to meet the Governors
objections, and instead of so do
ing, adopt a resolution giving its
Interpretation of the law, which
differs widely from that of the
Governor. Unfortunately the
Courts alone can give the legal
construction of laws after they
have been enacted, and the reso-
lutions adopted by the Senate are
but waste of words. No doubt
they are the utterances of the au-
thor of the Bill, who was one of
the committee to whom the Gov
ernor's message was submitted.
The House refused to pay the
interest on the outstanding bonds
called in by the Governor some
months since. and the holders
will have to wait for another leg
islature opass upon the question
or resort to the courts.

DEATH OF HON. JOHN A.
REDHEAD.

Another of Wilkinson county's
leading citizens has been called be-
fore his Maker, Hon. John A Red
head having died suddenly of apo
plexy at his home, Montrose, near
Centreville, on Tuesday last, at IL
o'clock. Mr.. Redhead has held a
prominent place i'll the affairs, both
political and industrial, of this
county for a number of years past,
and his influence has always been
exerted for the advancement of the
county. He ably represented this
county in the State legislature and
at the time of his death was Presi-
dent of the Cotton Growers Asso-
citation and Chairman Of the Good
Roads Association, hence his prom
inence reaches from this county and
spreads among the states of the en-
tire southland. Mr.. Redhead was
genial and cultivated gentleman
of the old school, and together with
his marked scholarly attainments,
attracted friends who were ever
loyal and true. He was broad
minded, and arose above the petty
and little things so apparent in ev-
ery-day life, and stood out as an
exemplar of what is true and noble.
His death is a loss to the entire
county, and none will miss him
more than the newspapers, to which
he was frequent and able contrib.
utor. The wife and children are
heartbroken in the loss of husband
and father, but we trust consolation
will be found in Him who knowetl
our weakness and will give balm tC
broken hearts.

OF paying privilege taxes further
time to make settlements. A fail
ure to pay these taxes is pleada-
BILE in bar of any suit for the col
lection of debts.
A Senate bill for the exemp-
ton from taxation of all money
loaned at SIX per cent, was indeG-
nitely postponed. 1t is a curious
commentary on the preponder-
ance Of prejudice and ignorance
over common sense, that the per-
sons who are sent to represent the
interests of the people in Consti-
tutional and legislative bodies can
never enact a law for the direct
benefit of people who need money
and have to borrow it. lest they
may help the supposed plutocrat,
who has money to lendl "What
fools these mortals be-" even if
they are Legislators, and "graye
and reverend Seniors" IN the
Coucils of the State. AS The law
stands now, a resident of Missls-
sippi, who is able and willing to
help his neighbors with loan of
money at eight per cent, has to
pay on the loan, state, county and
municipal taxes, or run the risk
of evading the taxes, whereas a
citizen of Louisiana or of New
York, can loan money IN Missis.
sippi at the same rate of interest
and is exempt by law from the
payment of any and all taxes. Oh
course the foreign lender fixes tb,
rate Of interest by what he cal
get Tor his money, and the hom'
lender cannot compete with him
because he is required to pay abou
two per cent on his loaned none,
IN taxes. 1t is therefore clear sha
the local lendor is driven out o
the market, or resorts to all sort
of subterfuges to escape an unius
discrimination against him. TIL
, enactment of a law exempting al
| money loaned at SIX per cent il
would at once fix the rate q
interest on good securities at thu
rate, and be a blessing to thou'
. ands.

DEATH OLA GOOD MAN.

In the death of the Hon. Jno. A.
Redhead, at his home near Centre
Vile. on the 4th inst, his county and
neighbors have sustained loss that
time alone can supply. He was a
native of Wilkinson county-living
on the plantation his honored father,
the late DR.. Jno. a. Redhead. had
cultivated. Still a young man, Mr..
Redhead had deeply impressed his in
dividuality on all who knew him,
through an honest manhood and solid
merits. The value of this public splr-
tied citizen did not consist in Official
reputation, though he had served his
people eleditably and well in the
legislature. But as highly successful
demonstration of improved farming
methods, few men haye contributed
more to the growth and prosperity
of his immediate section. He literally
fulfilled the adage which Swift thus
eloquently expressed: "Whoever
could make two ears of corn,
or two EbIades of grass, to
grow upon a spot of ground where
one grew before would deserve better
of mankind and do more essential
service to his county, than the whole
race of politicians put together. =
Judged by this rule this upright and
irreproachabl gentleman is deserving

The Board of Supervisors, of
Kinds county, has ordered the pri-
vate execution of the negro Jim
Frye, who killed Officer Redmond.
This course should be pursued in
every county wherein a prisoner is
condemned to death. Every negro
who dies on the scaffold, invariably
states that he "has made peace with
God and going straight to Glory"
hence the horrors of the gallows
are lost, and the effect upon the
negro generally is bad. The case
of Czolgosz, emphasizes the hor-
ror attendant upon a private execu-
ton, and we hope and believe in
the future, public exhibitions will
be abandoned in melting out justice
to the murderer.
