pass the house. 1t was sidetracked or

menced. :

The bill for the establishment Of ar

tics and inebriate insane, was killed II

for Yorkville. The bill accordingly
went dead.

On his return to Washington last
Thursday, Senator Tillman developed
a bad cold. supposed to have beer
caused as the result Of getting out Of
hot car into the cold to get a morning
It was published In the
afternoon papers of Friday that he was
threatened with pneumonia; but this
proved to be a mistake. 1t Is not
thought that the senator's condition is
at all serious.
The indications are that there will
be an unusually large amount Of fertil-
izers sold this spring. Lots Of farm
ers have already bought and the In
auiry continues strong. Summing
up the situation, to the reporter. a To-
cal business man said this morning:
"The outlook is that the farmers are
going to plant as much cotton this year
as they can get labor to work, and
where they don't think they can get the
labor they will try to make up the diff
ference as far as possible by increas-
ing the use of the fertilizers"
Although making no claims along
the pro bono publico line; but insist
ing to his friends that it is strictly
business as he sees 1t, it is a fact that

purchasing the Cartwright property
next door to and to the hotel plans al
ready commenced above the store
rooms, Mr.. G. H. O'Leary has contri-

here in years which has a right to be

The Charlotte Observer denounces
the ground hog as a fraud. 1t calls
attention to the fact that the wise lit
tie prophet, so long held out as infallible
predicted rough weather, and the days
that have followed its survey Of its
shadow would do credit to spring,
Now, such hasty accusation from our
esteemed contemporary Is unbecoming
In that paper. It should remember that
there is a conflict of the testimony as
to Just how this shadow business must
be interpreted. Some authorities
claim that If the ground hog sees its
shadow the weather will be rough.
while other authorities equally as
good, say that If there is no shadow
the rough weather is coming. The
trouble therefore must be, with the
authorities rather than with
the poor innocent ground hog, which
our contemporary so recklessly abuses.
Mr.. ]. Frank Ashe of McConnells-
VILE. is emitted to commendation for
the manner in which he has dis
charged his duty as trustee of the Ex-
change fund belonging to the York
Alliances. There was no doubt
Of the fact that there was a we'll plan
ned effort on the part of certain con-
spirators to appropriate these funds to
their own use. under the form of law,
and for a time it looked as If the con-
spirators would be successful. Mr..
Ashe was foremost among those who
held that the funds, or what was left
If them, should be restored to the Or

end rather than allow it to fall into the
