Charles Town is making another eff
fort to have her name changed Ow-
ing to the similarity of the names Of
Charleston and Charles Town, and
both towns being in the same State,
ve1atious annoyance to the citizens
of both, as we'll as business delays
and losses, have been incurred. As
the volume of business has increased,
so has the annoyance, until now the
citizens of Charles Town, e1asperated,
have prepared petition to the Leg
islature, now in session at Charleston,
and sent it in the custody of Capt. b.
C. Getzendanner, who will endeavor
to have the measure pushed through
the present session allowing Charles
Town to change her name to Charles
City. Charles Town was named after
Charles Washington, brother OF Cen
eral Washington, who founded it IN
1856, donating so acres for the site,
Charleston was formerly named Ka-
nawha, but for some reason changed
its name to Charleston, causing an
endless chain of errors in the mails
and shipping, resulting in losses and
annoyances to both communities. We
hate to think of writing it Charles
City. 1t would be vastly better to
name Charleston Kanawha.

Mutiuy on a Cruiser.

Galveston, April 26.-A state of
friction, bordering on mutiny, is said
to exist on the United States crusier

here to receive silver service from
the citizens. Men of long service
who came from the vessel, and local
people who were on board today,
state that conditions bordering on
mutiny exists on the ship. Many Of
the men denounce commander But

and under fed. They assert that for
the most trivial ofenses they are
given the extreme penalty and that
sixty men are now in irons. The
crusier sailed for Norfolk today.

Preparing A Dinner.

An important point in the prepara-
tion of dinner is to clean up as you
go along, go that when dishing up
time arrives the table is not in a
hopeless muddle, covered with dirty
plates, dirty knives, spoons, basins,
jars, etc.
Have a pan of hot water, into
which you can dip the knives, forks,
etc, as they are used, and then if
wanted again they only just require
wiping. Ii the -four bin has been
used or a jar out of the kitchen cup
board or the pot of coloriDg put them
all back in their places directly they
are done with, so that there is plenty
of space on the kitchen table. With
regard to the saucepsns that are
used, a great amount of trouble will
be saved if they are filled with hot
water as soon as they are emptied Of
their contents and put on one side.
In preparing meal always have
the table set at least half an hour
before dinner. Be sure to think be-
forehand how many hot plates, etc.,
whether large or small, and what
vegetable dishes will be required and
dust these we'll and get them
thoroughly hot in good time. These
directions my seem superfuous to
some, but there are plenty of casee,
with young and inexperienced cooks
especially, where if it were not for
the personal supervision of the mis-
tress these small but important de-
tails would be overlooked altogether.

Aa3y Aasss .a@s.s'!aS s1su'
Union, April 26.-Atout 6 o'clock
this afternoon terrific storm ragged
here for ten minutes and in that time
time great damage was wrought, and
that many lives were not lost is mi
raculous. The only person injured
wac John Campbell, aged 20, an ope-
rati7e of Union cotton mile, who was
badly bruised about the forehead
and hurt internally by the falling
walls. The greatest damage was
done to the spinning room on the
fourth floor of Union mill No. 2, the
southern end of which was blown in
for over 100 feel and big strip of
the roof torn of. The many children
working there only escaped with
their lives by fleeing when they saw
the windows beginning to fall IN.
Eight spinning frames were Injured.
The damage is estimated at $4,000.
In the heart of the town the Bethel
A. NJ. E church, valued at $1,000,
and the Presbyterian chapel, worth
$1,000, in the eastern suburbs, at
Monarch, one mile away, were both
totally demolished and another COL
ored church was lifted from it's pill
lars, but not badly damaged. Many
small buildings and fences were
destroyed, but the principal build
ings, residences and other larger

A number OF communications have
teen received by this department with
reference to the new school book law,
and complaining that the companies
were requiring certificates that book
was in use by the child offering 1t
last year before making an exchange,
and at the failure of the repositories
to furnish board covers as well as
Goth. The attention Of Governor
Vardaman was called to these COM
plants and his statement as to what
must be done has been generally fur
uished by the daily press. He en-
phatically announced that the book
companies must comply with the
terms Of their contract. That no Ger
ificate was required, but that he de-
sired to protect the companies against
secondhand dealers who might offer
their books for new ones. That ali
books bid in board and Goth must be
kept on hand in board and cloth, OF
forfeit their contract. Those who
know Governor Vardaman feel assur-
ed that he will do just what he says
Ae will, and that the contracts by
the book companies must be carried
out to the letter. Announcement has
since been made by the state deposl
tory that no certificates would be re-
quired for exchange. There is still
complaint about the failure to fur
nish board bound books, the kind that
are in general use in the rural dis
tricts. The companies bid the board
covers down very low and will not fur
nish them if possible to evade the
contract Promptly report to Gov
ernor Vardaman any failure on the
part of the companies to comply with
the law and he will give 1t atten-
ton.
