A Boarding SS Indicate.

In the enterprising town OF Holly,
Orleans County. new movement mas
been started. wit the object Of solving
the servant girl problem. Thirteen
families comprising twenty-nine per-
sons of the best social and business
standing, have formed a cooperative
boarding association, all members to
bear an equal share Of the expenses.
Gradually the various objections were
overcome. and the members are not
only we'll satisfied with the progress
made. but think that in short time
q noticeable decrease in their living ex-
penses will be evident. Upon Joining
the association members contributed 81
to create q fund with which to equip
the kitchen. With this money two
large ranges and dishes Of every de-
seription have been purchased; also
other articles necessary to the culinary
department. In the dining room each
family furnishes the table linen, dishes
and other articles for its own use. lr
several cases where two families are
small, both have occupied the same
table. All expenses for provisions ano
the services of the cooks and mattresses
are then borne pro rata by the men,
bers. There will be considerable curl
osity to know whether the experiment
can be made a permanent success

A Washington special says: Be-
cause of his intimacy with Senator
Hanna, who regards him as his right
hand man, Representative Dick, OF
Ohio, has secured especial attention
for the joint resolution he introduced
in the house Friday, providing for an
inquiry into the alleged disfranchisc-
ment of voters in the southern states,
with a. view to decreasing the repre-
sentation in congress of those states
which may have taken such actlon.
Attention is called in the resolution 70
the alleged fact that it is matter Oh
common information and belief that
the rights Of some male citizens to
vote at elections at which they are
given the right to vote by the constl'
tuition is denied and abridged IN cef'
tain states. The text OF the resolu-
ton follows:
whereas, 1t is matter. OF common
information and belief that the right
of some male citizen, being 21 years
of age, to vote at an election named
in said amendment to the constitution,
except for participation in the rebel
lion or other crime, is denied and
abridged in certain states; therefore,
Resolved, That the matter be re-
ferred to the committee on election
Of the president, vice president and
representatives in congress, whose
duty 1t shall be and who shall have
full and ample power TO Investigate
and inquire into the validity of the
election laws Of the several states and

tion for the choice Of electors for
president and vice president OF the

gress or the members of the legisla'
ture Of any state is denied to the
male inhabitants Of any Of the state,
9 years of age and a citizen Of the
United States, except for participation
in the rebellion or other crime. Said
committee shall have power to sub
poena and examine witnesses under

several subjects herein mentioned,
and it shall be authorized to put un-
der the sessions Of the house and 20
have such printing and binding done
as it shall deem necessary and it
shall make full report to the house OF
the result Of the investigation at as
early date as possible"

Order for Receivers Revoked.

Oroer TOR RECEIVERS REVOKED.
In the United States circuit court at
Richmond, Va, Judge Simonton dis
missed the receiver appointed for the
Olympia cotton mills in Columbia, a
$2,500,O00 corporation, and Dissolved
the injunction that had been granted.
The receivers were appointed in the
suit of Leonard Phinizy against the
mills, but on further hearing Judge
Simonton reversed his action.
This feft the mills to carry out
their plan of reorganization.
Judge Simonton had granted an
order filed by Leonard Phinizy and a.
S. Hull, of Augusta, Ga, appointing
w. A. Clark and A. J. Green. of Co.
lumbia, temporary receivers for the
mills, under a bond Of s2,500 each,
the order being made returnable Oh
November 30.
The complaint was very long doc
ument, citing the charter under which
the Olympia cotton mills were esta5-
lished and specifying numerous rea-
sons of a technical nature why the
prayers of the petitioners should not
be granted.
The Olympia mill is one OF the larg-
est in the south, and is said TO be
the biggest cotton factory under one
roof in America.

Georgian introduces Disfran-
chising Measure in House.
CUBAN BILL is TAKEN UP
Rule Adopted by Republican Majority
Limiting Debate and Cutting Of
Privilege of Amendments
Early Vote Assured.

a
house, Monday, Congressman hara.
wick, of Georgia, introduced has, bill
proposing the repeal Of the ffteentn
amendment to the constitution OF the
United States and another proposing
a modification of the fourteenth
amendment.
Both bills are designed to take the
ballot from the negro; the first seek
ine to repeal the constitutional act
which bestowed that ballot, and the
second providing that the south's rep.
resentation in congress shall not be
cut down when the negro loses ms
vote.
Mr.. Hardwick wants the question OF
revoking the negro ballot subm1tiet
to the legislatures Of the various
states, as the law requires three
fourths of said legislatures to ratify
change in the constitution before T
can become effective.
These bills are in keeping with the
promises Hardwick made in the cam
paign by which he was elected to con-
gress, and he has lost no time in keep
ing his promise to his constituents.
He says he is prepared to fight for
the bills when the proper time comes
for their consideration.
His movement is of particular in
terest to the south at this time, since
Representatives Crumpacker, Of Indi-
ana, and Dick, of Ohio, have both put
in measures SEEKING to cut down the
south's representation. 1t is likely
that all the bills relating to the south
ern election laws Will be considered
together, and Mr.. Hardwick will have
a chance to meet his opponents at
close quarters in the fight.
Cuban Bill Up in House.
The house began the consideration
of the Cuban reciprocity bill Monday.
Mr. Dalzell, republican, OF Pennsylya.
MIA, reported resolution providing
that the bill reported from the ways
and means committee should be con-
sidered to the exclusion of all other
business until 4 O'Clock Thursday,
when a vote will be taken without

Mr.. Williams, democrat, Of Missis

position to the rule, declared it was
about the mot drastic rule ever intro,
duced in, the house, saying it shut of
all right to perfect the bih He said
that the minority desired to offer an
amendment which proposed to strike
out the "double-barreled pledge" con
tanned in the bill. q

that the rule was most drastic meas,
ure, reverted to- the time when the
Wilson bill was pending, Mr.. Crisp.

mended the minority to study OF
their own parliamentary history 81
Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, said the MI

say it is child Of theirs, but, he
said, 1--WE don't want a child of that
kind born in this house
The rule was then adopted.
A minority report setting forth the

Hung dangling over the floor,
She meant to be good: she had promised,
And so. with her big. brown eyes.
She stared at the Westinghouse windows
And counted the crawling flies.
She looked far Up at the preacher.
But she thought OF the horey-bees
Droning away at the blossoms
That whitened the cherry trees.

Where. CURED in dusky heap,

Prospects for New County Bright.
An Augusta, Ca, news item states
that the prospects for the establish
ment of Hammond county, this STATE,
with North Augusta as the county seat
now seem brighter than ever, the ep-
posing faction being about won over
by the last concessions OF the North
Augusta Land Company.
Recently the company has added to
it's original offer of the present acad-
emy a three thousand dollar wooden
structure, the surrounding property,
with fully $4,000, for the future use
Of the new county. This makes in Al
a gift of $4,000 worth OF property to
the new county.
Quite a number of opponents to the
movement have been won over by this
liberality and are now striving to car
ry the election in their respective dis
tricts. An active campaign is being
waged in the interest of the new coun-
ty, and those at the head of the move
ment are confident Of securing the
necessary two-thirds vote at the elsc-
