ance order to include the voting of re-
lief money to people whose crops have
been washed away by floods or whose
fortune had been lost by unforeseen
financial reverses.
Furthermore. we find in section 161
that the board Of directors of the order
lis given authority to transfer any sur
plus from the general fucd TO the in
surance benefit fund, which suggests
to us that the society intended to apply
all unused expense money on its insur-

also note that section las expressly pro-
yides that the financial affairs of this

camp has in voting funds for any pur-
pose whatever.

PlsGAH NEWS NOTES.

Pisgah, Feb. 9.-The wet weather
will retard blowing to some extent.
Much rain fell here Saturday and in
the night.
Very little cotton-seed will be used
under cotton this year. The high
price recently moved about all that
was left. The negroes sold all they
had last fall. The whites held theirs
and swapped for meal, % hundred lbs.
of seed getting ton of meal.
The potato crop which was fine
through here, has rotted badly. Some
have lost nearly all they made. /
Oats show the wisdom of being
planted early. They are all o. K.
The price for cotton next fall pro-
misses to be good. The boil worm in
Texas will shorten the crop, and the
negro renters who can get all the ad-
vances they want will not make much
for the merchants after the rent is
paid and that will shorten the crop.
As long as the negro can get lien, he
won't hire for good wages to those
who will pay him promptly and who
would make good crops, the back bone
of the country so to say. Consequ-
emily the best of farmers have no labor
scarcely and what they have is inferi-
or as a whole. The lien law seems to
have outlived its usefulness. If an in
surrection was to take place the Govern
or could just call out his staff and go to
it. He would have all the men in
numbers he would want to put down
an ordinary one.
The State of South Carolina asks
more like child in the matter Of col
lecting taxes than a sensible person.
How some fellow wants to extend the
time when we have all the time we
want. The only wise way to collect
taxes is TO open the books month
earlier and close them on Dec. 31st.
This will give ample time to all, and
what is due will scarcely be missed.
The State has coquetted so much in
this matter that people have no con-
fidence that the books will close when
advertised, consequently they are not
in hurry about paying and the State
is thereby embarrassed. The legisla-
ture mixes things a great deal, but
anything is law now, so it says it is
all right over the signatures Of the
presiding officers according to the de-
cisions of our August court.
Congress has adopted Sunday as the
day on which tributes of respect may
be paid to the memory of the deceased
congressman. A very appropriate day
for so sad an occasion. The memorial
addresses are always fine and shows
what is good in man can come out
at times. In fact, I did not know so
many good men went to Congress IN
til they died, and read of their beauti
full lives as shown forth in the touch
ing tributes paid to their memories by
their brother congressman. Surely
there is some good IN the land yet, but
in the shadow of death all are united,
and it is SO in our highest law making

Mt. Pisgah's Thanks.

The officers and members of Mt.
Pisgah A. NJ. E. Church return their
greatest thanks to both white and
colored friends for their liberal assist
ance in giving to the many ones who
had envelopes.
Our church is now completed, hav-
ing just finished placing our heater.
This church was built at cost Of
$4,000 and within three years, a little
over four thousand dollars have been
paid, not from northern friends and
societies nor by church extension
society, but by the hard earnings of
her members and the generous help
of her white and colored friends in
this city.
The pastor Rey. j. c. Williams,
desires in this public way to thank the
merchants who have again and again
aided him from the start to its COM
pletion, and assures them that our
people are very grateful and will show
it by giving them their trade.
Mr.. Sam Franklin, who raised the
highest amount on both occasions that
we have appealed to the public, returns
his thanks. He reported last night
S20.53 the pastor. SI4.35; Mrs. Har-
riett Jackson, 50. 80; Mrs Emma An
drews, S7.16: Mrs. Amelia Andrews,

T. L. Stewart, 81. "a: Mrs. Lettie John
son, s.. 60, and others from three dollars
down to 25 cents.
It is the hope of the pastor and
members that the influence of Mt.
Pisgah be felt for good throughout
this town in the lifting up of men and
women, and the making of them better
citizens and better Christians.
To make them true to themselves,
and it will follow that they will be
true to all men and true to God.

Work of the Senate.

Columbia, Feb. 6.-The Senate TO-
day, reversed its position on the Rail
way Relief Association and adopted it.
Senator Brown, Of Darlington, NOV
ed to reconsider the vote whereby the
bill relating to railway relief associa-
tions had been rejected. This was
agreed to.
MI. Mayfeld said that number of
Senators wanted to consider that bill
and he suggested that further consid-
Grafton be postponed until Tuesday,
but he withdrew his motion.
Mr.. Rsgsdale said that he was will
ing that those voting against the bill
last night and who might be absent to
be recorded in the negative.
Mr.. Hood said he had misappre-
hended the import of the bill in sew
eral particulars last night and would
change mis- vote.
On the roll call the bill was adopted
by vote of 21 to II.
Among bills read a second time
were the following:
To further regulate working of the
highways.
To provide for a special assessment

tion was made of the bill in reference

aid schools in districts financially
weak.
After lengthy discussion the bill to
regulate the traffic in seed cotton was
passed. It provides. as amended, that
seed cotton cannot be sold between
August Is and December l, provided

MAYoEps COURT.

There were three offenders before the
Mayor last Thursday:
J. N. Edens plead guilty to riding
a bicycle at night without lighted
lantern and paid the customary
fne-S2.
The other cases were:
Swinton P. Jones, drunk and disor-
derly and resisting arrest.
Swincon P. Jones and Sam Weeks,
fighting on Main street.
Under the first indictment Jones was
found guilty as to drunkness, the
Mayor stating that in his opinion sub
sequent actions we're incidental to and
resulted from the drunkenness. The
fine was s..
Under the Joint indictment Jones
was adjudged not guilty, while Weeks
was found guilty and required to pay a
fine of 80.
The circumstances of this case rem
der it somewhat more interesting than
ordinary. Jones is son of the Edgar
Jones who was arrested last Saturday
by Officer Weeks and pretty roughly
handled at the time. On Monday he
was tried and the charges Of drunken
ness and disorderly conduct preferred
against him by Officer Weeks were not
made out to the satisfaction Of jury
and he was dismissed. On Tuesday
Jones swore out warrant against Off
Ger Weeks before Magistrate Folk and
had him arrested and bound over for
trial at the next term Of court.
On Wednesday Swinton ?. Jones, the
son of Edgar Jones loads up with
liquor and goes up and down the street
cursing Officer Weeks and making
threats against him to every person,
except the police, that would listen to
him. The police on duty heard Of his
talk and kept an eye on him.
Sam Weeks, son of Officer A. II.
Weeks, also heard of Jones's talk, and
when he met him on Main street he
asked Jones if he was hunting his
(Week's1 father. Jones replied that
he was, and applied vile epithet to
Officer Weeks. Sam Weeks thereupon
knocked Jones down and got on him,
but the prompt arrival of Officer Sey-
mour saved Jones from worse beat
ing.
When Jones was knocked down, an
open knife new out OF one hand and q
flask of whiskey fell from his pocket.
The circumstances appear to large
ly Justify Weeks for knocking Jones
down, and the fine imposed wasSpretty
heavy for the ofense, the provocation
being taken into consideration. Weeks
was at fault in acccsting Jones and
thus precipitating the difficulty, but the
reports he had received Of Jones'
threats against and abuse of his
father, Officer Weeks, furnish rea
sonable excuse, for the provocation was
great.
The Msyor was too severe both ac-
tually and comparatively.
Judy Sanders the notorious, was up
Saturday for public drunkenness and
disturbance of the peace in Harvin
street. She was convicted of the
charge and required to pay fine of
ten dollars.

cooperate with me in carrying out
this order satisfactorily. I do not re-
ceive cent extra pay for this vacci-
mating, and it is costing the tax pay
ers considerable for vaccine virus. So
that it is wise to see that successful
vaccination eventually will stamp out
smallpox and save the people money.
AS rule the people who do not have
smallpox, because they are safely
vaccinated, are the people who pay the
taxes. There are exceptions, however,
to this rule, but comparatively few.
I will vaccinate all who have not been
successfully vaccinated within five
years. In the mean time all persons
are at liberty to have themselves yacci-
mated by any physician; it will save
the city treasury that much money.
Nearly ali Of the public school pupils
have been vaccinated. But in the
mean time to have one person pass
upon all vaccinations will systematic
the work and give. better results.
There Will then be no differences of
opinion and no confusion
