Suits Against Pythiaas.

Suits involving several thousand
dollars will very probably be filed in
several counties in South Carolina in
the near future by policy-holders
against the insurance department OF
the supreme lodge, Knights of Pyth-
las. This announcement was made
yesterday by Douglas Mckay, of Co.
lumbia, attorney representing num-
Der of the policy-holders of the fourth
class of the insurance department OF
the order.
Several months ago, following the
alleged attempt of the order to freeze
out members of the fourth class OF
the insurance department by raising
the rates to a prohibitive figure,
two suits, involving several thousand
dollars were filed in Richland county
court. One suit in Richland county
was brought by S. l.. Miller. 1t Is
claimed in the complaint that Mr.
Miller secured policy for S5,O0O ID
1898 and that to the first of January
he had paid in the sum of $1,7OO as
premiums. It was further alleged
that Mr.. Miller made demand on the
order for the return of the premiums
which demand was refused.
Following the fling of the com
plant in the Richland county court
an answer was filed by the supreme
lodge, Knights of Pythias. The an
swer contains over 40 typwritten
pages. The answer gives history
of the organization with special rel
erence to the insurance department

LIVELY TIMES IN LAURENS.

Mayor Got on Jamboree and Tried
to Shoot Policeman.
Down in Laurens the other day the
mayor of the town and one of his
friends, who is also an official of
some kind, got on a spree and raised
a disturbance, and threatened to
shoot the policeman who went to ar
rest them. A brother of the mayor
then went to the newspaper office
and demanded that the newspaper
suppress the news of the mayor. The
policemen who made the arrest were
afterwards t1aid off, because the city
did not need their services. All OF
which goes to show that there are
some people who have been honored
by their constituency who are unap-
preciative.-Gaffney Ledger.

James Avery Finger.

In the death Of James Avery Fin
ger the Courtenay School has lost
an able head, the public school sys-
tenn of Charleston an earnest worker,
the teaching profession an ornament,
and the community useful citizen.
His memory will need no encomium;
the record of his life will be the best
epitaph, and no tribute can be paid
to him so true as this: ''The only
reward he asked for was the task ac-
complished and the duty we'll per-
formed"
Mr.. Finger was born at Morganton,
N. c., in 1855, was graduated at Wof-
ford college, Spartanburg, and came
to Charleston in 1882 for the pur-
pose of teaching. Under the inspira-
'tion of his great preceptor, DR.. Car
Isle, he came we'll equipped for the
profession he had selected and soon
attracted attention, so much so that,
in October, 1882 he was elected the
principal of the Meeting Street Pub
lie School. In 1885 he was promoted
to the principalship of the Crafts
School, and upon the completion of
the Courtenay School building in
1888 he was transferred to the prin-
cipalship of that school as a reward
for diligent and successful service.
He has, therefore, been connected
with the public school system of
Charleston for 20 years, during which
long period he enjoyed the conf
dence of the school commissioners,
the respect of his teachers and the
love of his pupils. These latter idol
lied him and many were the tears
shed when they heard he was dead.
Mr.. Finger was in many respects
remarkable man, "Teres, totus
atque rotundus,' rounded, polished
and complete. From every point of
view his character was the same.
Firm but gentle, tolerant of the opin-
ion of others, but resolute and tena-
cious in his own, he never shirked a
duty or avoided an opportunity for
doing good. But being himself a
teacher he sympathized with teachers
and whether asserting authority or
imparting instruction he was always
their friend. He was born teach
er; he possessed the happy faculty
OF imparting to others what he him
self possessed, and with a mind we'll
stored with usefil knowledge he
generously put it all under contribu-
ton for others. He taught con amore
and nothing gave him more pleasure
than to witness the development of
his pupils powers while under his
teaching.
But the brain so active in the in
terests of the schools has ceased its
labors, the heart so full of sympathy
and kindness has ceased to beat, the
hands so busy in whatever work they
found to do are folded, and Avery
Finger has gone to his reward.-Edl'

er, Monday, August 21st.
