THE MEMBERSHIP.

There are always prophets OF evil.
There were come who predicted, when
the Chamber Of Commerce was organ
ized, that it would not be kept alive
more than q few months. The organ
izstion as now q year old, and while
we have lost q few members the num-
bers who have kept up their member
ship is most gratifying. The first
month we collected in dues the sum of
$95. The past month we have collected
In dues the sum of $88. We nave iost
perhaps ten members all told. Some,
though, will return; so I think the
actual loss is less than that. I Will
endeavor to have the committee on
membership make an active canvass
for new members soon, as there are
many citizens VINO ought to belong to
the organization and who would be
benefited thereby. However, MEM
bership has always been voluntary,
and we have never sought to make
people belong to it. A mans public
spirit, and his love for the welfare
of the town, will take care of that.

Lice Oh Poultry.

You cannot succeed with your poul-
try if they are infested with lice. If
your building is infested, you may be
sure that your birds are. 1t is not
difficult to rid the building of lice.
It is more difficult to rid the birds of
the pests. The building can be white
washed with mixture containing car
bolio acid, or can be sprayed with
kerosene. Keeping the building
thoroughly clean, there is less danger
of lice. To remove the lice from the
birds buy pythsrium costing ten cents
pound. With small hand bellows
blow this powder into the feathers,
under the wings, etc., to the skin of
the birds, repeating the process to the
end of week. Eggs will not be pro.
duced if the hens are covered with
lice. Look out for the old nests where
hens have set, since these are liable
to be infested.--Green' Fruit Grower.

remedies unless they bring relief very
quickly. have good physician
with the patient as soon as I can get
him. For an ordinary cold, / give
teaspoonful every hour of honey and

is threatened, get red flannel cloth,
make bib of it, with high collar band
to come up around the neck: rub on
it until it is thoroughly saturated
canphorice, box Of which can be
bought at any drug store for dime;
now sprinkle over the camphorice
spirits of turpentinc, not enough to
blister, but just to burn good; give
dose of laxative medicine, and quick
relief follows. If Group develops, take
tablespoonful CT powdered alum, mix
with honey or syrup, and give the
child until it throws up; this is IN
slant relief.
For cbills and fcvers, I use calomel
in small doses until the liver is arous-
ed, and follow with luininc, which is
our accepted treatment in these Louis
lana swamps. which have bad name
among the hill people, but, as mat
ter of fact, are great deal healthier
than any hill region l know.
For powder burn from an explo.
sion, gun bursting, etc., use grated
Irish potato poultices. They will
take every mile of powder out of the
skin, and are very soothing aud cool.
For small burns on fingers or hands
even bad ones-contrary to general
advice l make the little ones hold
them under cold water, away from the
air. It is instant relief, and oh! what
a boon to one suffering from burn.
In the case of my little four-year

near her, put the bowl Of water on il
let the poor, bloated little hand res
in it, and she slept peacefully al
night. Next morning every bit o.
pain was gone, but the hand needed
treatment. First, I used carbolzet
vaseline as dressing (ten drops car

FINANCIAL,

The report of our treasurer is worthy
Of note. 1t shows that we have Oh
band nearly Sl,l00. All bills have
been paid as they fell due, but for the
money on hand considerable portion
is pledged for specific purposes. We
owe 5000 to the State Immigration So
ciety. we Will soon eve the Charles
ton News and Courier $16Q fer ad-
vertising in the centennial edition of
that paper soon to be Issued, and we
still owe @ balance for attorneys fees
and other expenses in connection with
the freight rate hearing. These bills,
which will be paid upon presenta-
tion, will leave US something like $500
on hand. The tClemson encampment
Will Gust us something though not q
great deal. There are other expenses
which will soon develop, and which
must be met, SO that we will need
all the money we have on hand and
more besides. we recognized at the
very beginning that tbs organization
could accomplish nothing without
money to back its efforts. The report
OF the treasurer will show the various
sources from which our income has
been obtained during this year, as we'll
as the expenditures.

to have q castle at Posen, hoping tc

them. The castle, if built, will be the

In addition to the castles, the emperor

Unfortunately, the landed.estates do not

FOR CHARITY'S SAKE.

Last June q destructive storm and
flood swept over our sister county Of
Spartanburg, destroying several large
cotton mills. hundreds Of operatives
cottages and leaving thousands OF peo-
pie homeless and destitEGe. 1t was a
time Of great distress and suffering
for them. AS soon as the extent of
the terrible calamity was known our
directors met and telegraphed the
sum of $500 to the mayor Of Spartan
burg to be used as relief fund.
This was the first contribution OF any
size made, and was much appreciated
by the people Of Spartanburg. have
the subtraction of Knowlng that this
action Of our directors met with the
fullest approval of our entire mem
bership and Of the people or the oity
as well. While working for our own
interests we still have orotberly
feeling for others, and ouf people have
endorsed the action Of helping o
neighbor community in distress.
THE FUTURE.
believe it Will be conceded that
the Chamber of Commerce has ao-
compllshed good for the city. The
need for such an organization is
greater now than it ever has been,
for, as our city grows and develops,
as new possibilities and opportunities
open before Us, the VOTE and scope OF
the Chamber of Commerce Will con-
stantly increase. While the present
membership is very full it could be
made larger. There is not business
or profession in the city that cannot
be benefited by belonging to it and
taking an active part in its work.
And this point would especially en-
phaslze. We need to have q more
active cooperation and aotive inter-
est on tbs part of all our members.
1t is only by this means that the or
gani2ation can do it's fullest and best
work. The members have been very
loyal and liberal whenever called mp
on, but q great many Of those who
willingly and gladly pay their month
~ dues in order to give the organiza-
tion support seem willing to leave
the work and management in the
hands of few. This spirit, while
not intended SO. is unjust alike to the
members and to the officers. I hope
to see a change, and that Cur meet
ings in future will be better attended.
It may be argu I'D that "there is moth
ing to do" at some of the meetings.
This may be true IN sense, but we
could very easily find something upon
which we could concentrate our ef-
forts, something we could accomplish
for the good of Anderson, which we
all love so we'll and of which we are
all so proud.

THE COLLEGE.

Some sime ago the matter of secur.
ing. the establishment of 8 college was
taken mp. A plan was decided upon,
and committee was appointed to
canvass fer subscriptions. For vari-
ous unavoidable reasons this commit
tee has not yet been able to get to ac-
tive work, but the project has not yet
been abandoned. In fact, we heard
OF some proposition that might come
from other sources which lead US to
believe that q short delay would be ad !.
vantaReous. Such has proven to. be
the case, as we have yust received q
proposition from the Methodists of
Greenvilie District to build college
at this point provided Anderson will
contribute moderate subscription for
the purpose. They do not ask for a
very large outlay Of funds, and we
hope In q few days to present q letter
to our people in more definite shape.

WRIT OF nANDAnUS
Asked for by Court Reporter, Against
 Territorial Oficiasl.

F.. w. Lewis, supreme court reporter, yesterday filed suit in the district court asking for peremptory writ of man. daInIs to compel Auditor l. NJ. Christy and acting Governor w. F. Nichols to sign and deliver to the petitioner a war rant on the territorial treasurer for $500 and the costs of the suit The s1it is in a measure a friendly one, and is merely matter of business with Mr. Lewis.
 The complaint recites that NIT. Lewis, official court reporter, prepared vol unle of the reports of the supreme court of Arizona, caused it 10 be printed at his own personal expense and in ac- cord9nce with law, delivered to the territorial secretary on May 25, 150 cop ies of the book. The complaint further recites tha: the law provides that s4 per copy shall be paid for the reports, but that when the bill was presented payment was refused.
 IL is understood that payment was re- fused on the ground that special ap- pfopriatiOn for the purpose was neces- sary under the law. and that there are therefore no funds on hand to meet the llll. The officials refuse to draw a warrant unless directed by the court to do SD. The writ will ba asked for on June 4, or as sCon thereafter as the ccst can be heard.
