ness to the hearts Of his many
friends in this city and elsewhere.

he would eventually get well, but
such was not to be, and at six
o'clock on Saturday morning he
gently passed away, surrounded by
his loved ones. Mr.. Boliver was
born and reared in this city and was
'Snown personally to all Of our elder
citizens, and he was most highly es-
4eer,ed by all for his many noble
qualities. He was cut down in the
meridian of his life. being only forty
years of age. He is survived by ii
= and five children who have the
1eerest sympathy of the community
in their sad bereavement. For
many years Mr.. Boliver was a men,-
Der of the Baptist church and died
IS he had lived, an earnest, humble
Christian, and his loved ones have
the consolation Of knowing that he
is now safe in the better world.

a Word to Parents.

The graded schools deserve more
attention than is usually given them.
Parents, as a rule, regard their entire
duty in this connection discharged in
paying their tax and properly cloth
ing and sending their children to
school. There is reason to fear that
many look upon the school room as
a nursery to relieve them OF Their
troublesome children. The publ.c
schools cannot accomplish the full
measure of their possibilities unless
the parents join with teachers and

AGAINST MOSQUITOES.
Chicago savant Discovers What We
Knew Long Ago.

A Chicago savant has discovered
what most people in these part
have known almost from the begin
ming, that the eucalyptus tree is q
safeguard against mosquitoes when
planted near human habitation. The
Charleston Evening Post says in
former times the eucalyptus was
grown rather extensively in the coast
region Of South Carolina, because 1t
was supposed to prevent malaria
and to discourage the ravenous mos
quito. 1t was not then known that
the Encouragement Of the mosquito
tended to the prevention of malaria,
and it Is probably not now general
ly known that the effect of the
eucalyptus upon the mosquito was
due to it's affinity for water, result
ing in drying out of the ground in
the vicinity Of it's growth, when it
was planted in damp soil, where the
mosquito foregathers and propagates
it's kind.

The remark is often made by visi-
tors to our town that 1t is prosper
Gus, thriving town. Travelling men
especially, speak of the amount OF
business done here. To our mer-
chants Is due a large share OF the
credit for the good name the town
has abroad. They carry large and
we'll selected stocks, bought in large
quantities at close figures for cash,
and give their customers the advan-
tages of the cut prices. Nothing
helps to build up town more than
live, energetic business men. Then
too our cotton buyers pay the very
best prices possible for cotton.

Mr.. Fielder, who claims that the new

point all the Offices that were for
:nerly elected by tn, Supervisor and
County Commissioners, named C)l.
T. F. Brantley for attorney AMI Nj
NJ. f. Zeigler fer clc"k rs his ap-
oointees. This caused a clash be-
tween Mr.. Fielder aud the Township
Commissioners.
The Township Commissioners a;
cepted the nomination of Mr. Zeigler
as clerk, but declined to accept tie
nomination of Col. Brantiey rs at
,togney. claiming that they had the
right to elect an attorney, and pro-
.cr led to elect Or. St.lrkey to TIA
Office. They slso elected Mr.. E. c.
Hoover supe! sntendent of the ro.,r
farm. We Understand that thy
base their action on an op.:i,n len
dsred by Assistant Attorney General
DeErnhl. to the effect that these Of
fees must be filed by tha full ''oard
and rot by tie Supervisor alone.
Supervisor Fielder refuses to ac-
cept this opinion AS final, and will
carry the matter before some Judge
for is decision. The law says th=
Supervisor must appoint the cler.
but it does not provide how the at.
torney is to I've elected or appoint: 4,
and that is what caused the squabble.
Only one of the Township Commis-
sioners, Mr.. T. E. Early, voted with
Mr.. Fielder. The other eighteen, with
some four exceptions, voted against
Mr.. Elders construction Of the law,
and elected Dr. Sturkic attorney of
the board.7>
We understand that Mr.. Fielder
declines to accept the election of Dr.
-Sturkie as final, still claiming that
he has been advised to that effect by
one law firm at this Bar. so it seems
!ha- lawyers differ in their opinion
as well as the balance of us. The
meeting was real warm at times. and
finally adjourned in a not toe har-
'monious mood. If neither side yields,
and the Indications are that they
won't, the question will have to b.,
decided by the Courts.
