st. Petersburg, May 24.-The news
from the front continues to point to
the imminence of a renewal of fight

YELLOW FEVER
SLOWLY SREADlNC
Total Cases in New Orleans Numbers
283, With 81 Deaths.
QUARANTINES ARE SEVERE

New Orleans, July 31-In spite of
every effort of the local health author
tiles to stamp out the yellow fever
plague. it steadily increases and is
spreading over the city with unex-
pected rapidity. New cases reported
up to last night, 27; total cases to
date, 2S3; deaths, 3; deaths to date,
81; new foci, 4: total foci, As
The work of fumigating, oiling and
screening goes on and will continue
daily until the city has been thor
oughly screened and made mosquito
proof. The record for yesterday shows
little change from that Of Saturday
except in the reduction of the number
OF deaths. The decreased number of
new foci is also again a source of en-
couragement
The success of physicians in pre-
venting serious outbreaks in new
neighborhoods in which the disease
has appeared is, of course, taken to
mean that practical results are OBJ
tanned from the thorough system of
screening which is now in vogue. So
matized that as soon as a case Is re-
ported representatives of the board,
armed with screens and disinfectants,
are hurried to the house of the suf-
ferer, and every precaution Is there
after taken to make him or her i'm
mune to the attacks OF mosquitoes.
Railroads continue to be seriously
hampered by guarantees which are
constantly becoming more onerous as
the disquietude increases in the south
A panicky feeling exists In many
! places outside of New Orleans, and
promises still further to burden the
| railroads.
Every day a half dozen villages are
| scratched off the list of open towns
and very often the embargo is clapped
| on so suddenly that passengers are
caught with tickets already purchased

The Vance County Bar.
BY ANDREW j. HARRIS.

Before Vance county was formed
the bar OF Henderson enjoyed an en-
viable reputation. William Hamil-
ton Young and George Badger Har
ris were the peers of the great lawyers
practicing in the large towns OF the
State. They were broad men limited
by locality, in one sense, yet practic-
ing in Warren, Granville, Franklin
and Wake, they came in contact with
the best OF the legal profession and
easily held their own.
When Vance county was formed
there was an influx of young men
that made the bar of Henderson one
readily admitted by the Judges OF
the Superior Court as one of the
strongest in the State. Henry T.
Jordan, A.C. Zollicoffer, 7. T. Hicks,
Henry T. Watkins, W. r. Henry, A.
R. Wortham, T. NJ. Pittman and A.
]. Harris all came to the bar here
within a few years after the forma-
ton of the county. Hon. NJ. V. Lanier,
Col. L. c. Edwards, J. S. Amis, }. w.
Hays, Col. Geo. Workman, Attorney
General Tazewell Hargrove and T. B.
Venable, of Oxford, and Col. Thomas
C. Fuller, Judge Fowle and Hon. Jos.
B. Bachelor, of Raleigh, Judge Cooke,
of Louisburg, and Associate Justice
C. A. Cooke and W. A. Montgomery,
of Warrenton, and Capt. W. 81. Day,
of Weldon, were all regular attend
ants on the Vance courts for several
years. This gave the local attorneys
the experience SO necessary for men
in the profession and gave them a
broader view than generally obtains
in small towns. Somewhat later came
w. B. Shaw, J. II. Bridgers, R. S. Nc
Coin, Henry T. Powell, j. c. kittrell
all bright young men, full of ambi
ton and laudably anxious to succeed
James Y. Eaton, colored, also prac
ticed for several years here, his clients
being some of the most respectable
colored people of the county.
There is much that might be sale
OF the lawyers of Henderson to theil
credit. No breath of scandal has eve
touched a practicing attorney OF tn
Vance county bar. They are Willing
to settle cases whenever the real sub
stantial rights OF litigants can b
preserved in this way, regardless Q
: the question which way will brinl
most fees to them. Every publ
question passes the scrutiny OF tn
Henderson bar and the result ba
been that Vance county enjoys tn
' cheapest tax rate and the most eco
8 nomical county government of an
e county OF equal wealth in the Stat4
. A conservative bar has aided i
r making conservative business pol
/. ulation and litigation among the eli
!. liens of Vance is the exception instea
OF the rule.

Henderson Knights Of Pythias.
BY HENRY T. POWELL.

Henderson Lodge Knights of Pyth-
iaa, No. IS, was institu ted May 5th,
1896, with II members which have
steadily increased to so active mem
bers.
K. S. McCoin is Chancellor Com
mander, j. H. Brodie Vice-Chancel-
lor, ". A. Hunt, Keeper of Records
and Seal, W. K. Sturges, Lodge Dep
uty.
Pythian knighthood had it's con-
eeption in the exemplification of the
life test of true friendship existing be-
tween Damon and Pythias, senator's
of Syracuse Friendship of mutual
confidence being the strongest bond
of union between man and man, and
only existing where honor has an
abiding place, is adopted as a foun-
dation principle.
AS the ideal knight of the olden
time was the personification of all
the higher and nobler attributes of
mans nature, the candidate for
knighthood had to prove himself
worthy of acceptance by those who
valued friendship, bravery, honor,
Justice and loyalty.
The Order, Knights of Pythias-
founded in Friendship, Charity and
Benevolence, which it proclaims as
its cardinal principles-strives to
gather into one mighty fraternity
worthy men who appreciate the true
meaning of friendship; who are eau
tious in word and act; who love
truth; who are brave in defending
| right; whose honor is untarnished;
whose sense of justice will prevent, to
the best OF their ability, a personal
act or word injurious to the worthy;
whose loyalty to principle, to family,
to friends, to their country, and to
the constituted authority under
which they enjoy citizenship is un-
doubted, and who at all times, are
| prepared to do unto others as they
| would that others should do unto
them.
The Order was founded February
10Th, 1864, at Washington, D. c.,
when "war was in the heart of man
and sorrow in his shome'-when from
oceon to ocean, from lake to gull, our
glorious land was engaged in scenes
OF carnage and death. Its founder,
Justus H. Rathbone, saw in Grecian
history the germ of an Order that
should prove a power in dispelling
the warmth of sectional strife, and
restoring the hearts of man to a
basis OF universal brotherhood
| Being a part of such an Order;
founded upon such principles, and
for such high and noble purposes, it
is nothing but natural that Hender-
son Lodge No. IS, composed of some
fifty of the best men of Henderson,
should be in fine shape and enjoying
an era af good feeling
The Lodge is in fine condition; has
a complete set of paraphernalia fol
either short of amplified degree work
and has money in the treasury. Com
pulsory sick benefits were abolished
some years ago, it being the desire
of the Lodge to be ever in readiness
to respond to the call of it's worthy
unfortunate members, regardless O
any regulation of the compulsory
kind
The Order is thoroughly alive il
Henderson, as it is in the entire
nation. 1t lives and will continue to
live as long as friendship warns thu
heart of man.

Baltimore Sun
We believe that many Il man and
many a woman in life's struggle have
gone down in despair for the lack of
a timely work OF good cheer; nay, we
believe that some men and some wO-
men have in their desperation de-
stroyed themselves because there was
none to give them seasonable sug-
gestion of comfort and hope. To
most of us there comes a time when
all things seem against US to drive
US to despair; when hope is gone,
when we feel that life is not worth
living and when we would fain lay
down the burden and be at rest. At
such time we need the help of sym
pathy and friendly encouragement
We need a word of comforting assur.
ance that there is a light beyond the
clouds and that the darkest clouds
by and by pass away and reveal the
light beyond.
Such sympathy and optimism gen
erously bestowed are the sweetest
sort OF charity, far better than 6
dime or a dollar cast thoughtlessly

beggar.
