John G.. Fetzer receiver of the Mil

permission Of the court today to pay
another dividend of 20 per cent to the

go per cent in all and will contrast with
an expectation of 80 per cent on the
part of men we'll informed at the time
OF the failure. There will remain in
the hands Of the receiver assets out of
which 1t Is expected 10 per cent more

A PEssIMIsTIc EDITOR.
Some Dark Lantern Views of the
Farmar Brought to Light by Pine
Bluff Editor.

The editor of the Pine Bluff Graphic
doubtless grows pessimistic at times
and when in one of these moods he
penned the following:
1.-THE average Arkansas citizen ina
gines that he lives at home but he
doesn't. He gets up in the morning
and puts on socks made in New York,
shoes made in Boston, pants made in
Ohio, then slips pair of Connecticut
suspenders over his shoulders.
"He dips some water from Missouri
bucket with Chicago dipper and puts
it in an Illinois washpan, and washes
his Arkansas face with a cake of St.
Louis soap. He dries his face with a
Rhode Island towel and reaches his
hair with Vermont comb. He drinks
Cuban coffee from an Indiana cup and
saucer, sweetened with sugar from
Louisiana and stirred by New York
spoon. His knife, fork and plate are
made in the North, and his tablecloth,
ditto. He eats a piece of Chicago ham
fried in Kansas lard, sops his St. Louis
biscuit, seasoned with Boston soda
and Michigan salt, into Louisiana
molasses. He wipes his mouth on a
Vermont napkin and seats his family
in Michigan chairs around a table
from the same State. His meal was
cooked on a St. Louis stove with
wood cut with Pittsburg az, and
hauled in an Indiana wagon. The
citizen then puts Boston bride and
harness on Missouri mule, gets out
his plow and works in field encum-
bered, in all probability, with New
mortgage. He returns at night and
satisfies his appetite with another i'm
ported meal, fills his Indiana lamp
with Pennsylvania oil, and lights it
with New York match. He then
fills his Illinois pipe with North Caro-
lima tobacco and settles down in a
northern chair for a comfortable
smoke. When bedtime comes he
takes down his family Bible, which
was printed in Massachusetts,, reads a
chapter, says prayer composed in
Jersusalem, then retires to bed, slips
under his imported covers and is kept
awake for two long hours by the howls
of his Arkansas dogs, which are the
only home products he has on his
farm"

Asthma Sufferers Should Know
This.

Foley's Honey and Tar has cured
many cases Of asthma that were con-
sidered hopeless. Mrs. Adolph Buesing,
7Ol West Third st. Davenport, Iowa,
writes: "A severe cold contracted twelve
years ago was neglected until it finally
grew into asthma. The best medical
skill available could not give me more
than temporary relief. Foley's Honey
and Tar was recommended and one fifty
cent bottle entirely cured me Of asthma
which had been growing on me for
twelve years. If I had taken it at the
start I would have been saved years of
suffering. Kaufman DrugCo.

Mr.. George Bell Zimmerman, COM
mander of the South Carolina division
of the United Sons of Confederate
Veterans has issued an order announc-
ing the appointment of the Board of
trustees to manage the finance of the
organization.
The order which is general order
No. 2, is as follows:
At the last convention Of this divis-
ion, Art. of the constitution was
amended so as to require all the camps
of this division to pay fee of S1.00
for each member, said fee to be in
lieu of all annual dues; and it further
provided that no part of the sum so
paid should be used to defray current
expenses but that board of trustees,
consisting Of three, should be elected,
whose duty it would be to have charge
of this money as specified in said
amendment.
The convention having failed to elect
said board, it, therefore, becomes my
duty by operation of the constitution
to make the appointments, which
when made shall remain of force until
the next regular meeting of this divis-
ion.
The following appointments are
hereby announced:
For the one year term, Alfred J.
Fox, Lexington; for the two year
term, J. J. McSwain, Greenville; for
the three year term, G. NJ. Fielder,
Blackville.
1t is earnestly hoped that this board
will take its earliest opportunity to
meet at some central point and organ
ize as required by the constitution;
and Columbia is suggested as a con-
venient and proper place for the meet
ing.
By order of
George Bell Zimmerman,
Com. S. @. Division u S. G. V.
Official,
D. A. Spivey,
Adiutant and Chief of Staff.
Mr.. Zimmerman is urging that all
the camps of his division begin pre-
parations to attend the annual con-
vention of the Sons which will be held
in Richmond next year. 1t is hoped
that the South Carolina division will
send a large delegation.
