company might have aa established rule for future action. With Messrs. J. S. Brice and \V. B. deLoacb representing the plaintiff insurance company, and Mr. G. W. S. Hart representing the defendant, Mr. Hall, the fight centered on the powers conferred in this provision of the charter: "Every member of tho said corporation shall be and is bound, and is obliged to pay his * * portion of all losses and expenses accruing to said corporation." Mr. Hart based his defence princi pally upon the word "accruing." He held that in connection with the geueral character of the charter aud the policy contract, it could not be taken to mean losses that were to occur; but that it could only be held to meau losses that had actually taken place and which bad become obligations on the members of the compauy. He ^ also pointed out that if any other construction should be given the meaning of the word, then there would be practically no limit to the assessments that could be levied, even iu the absence of any liability whatever. Messrs. Brice and deLoach argued the opposite view, holdiug that the word "accruing" pointed to, included and provided for future losses. In giving his opinion, Judge Gage follows pretty closely the argument of Mr. Hart. He says: "If the word 'accruing' had beeu omitted from the charter, it is reasonably clear that the assessment in question would have been unwarranted. That is to say, a mutual insurauce company cannot collect an assessment in advance of a loss unless the power to do so be conferred upon it. The power is not couferred by implication, because the business may be transacted without the exercise of such power. The power is not conferred expressly, because the language used is insufficient therefor. A. loss is a fact, fixed in time, place and circumstance. Until it be ascertained, the pro rata of each insurer to pay therefor canuot be determined. If the language had been 'every member is bound to pay his portion of all losses which may accrue,' this assessment would have been unwarranted. "In my judgment, the word accruing was used iu that sense, tending to describe a catastrophe likely to happen some time in the future ; yet not a loss until it did happen and not to be a liability until it became a loss. I have poudered the matter maturely and such is my conclusion. "It is ordered that the defendaut is not obliged to pay the said assessment ; and further, that he has leave to enter judgment." The Farmer's Mutual Insurance company has in York county about 600 members and insurance risks to the amount of about $430,000. Judge Gage's decision, if sustained by the supreme court, does not, of course, affect anything beyoud the right to collect assessments in advauee of actual losses, aud, if desired, this right may be secured by amendment to the charter of the company.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Synopsis of the Proceedings of House and Senate. friday, january 13. In the House.?Among the new bills offered was one to provide that no valid lien or mortgage could be given on a growing crop until after the crop is matured; a bill to limit j the fees for recording transcripts of judgments from magistrates by the clerk, to $1; to reduce the salaries of state officers; to prohibit and suppress the wearing of certaiu weapons upon the person; to require bicxcle riders to get permission before passing travelers on horseback or vehicles ; to make fraud ata primary a misdemeanor; to require commissioners to buy aud keep bloodbouuds at eouuty seals ; to allow the retail of wine on the premises 011 which it is produced ; to require the immediate burying of swine that die from uatural causes; to compel cotton buyers to buy light weight bales and to prohibit them from docking the same. In the Senate.?The tax extension resolution was discussed at length. Several seuators called attention to the folly of making this extension every year ; but the resolution was passed so as to extend the tiuie in which taxas may be paid without penalty until March 1. Among the important new bills introduced, was one by Senator Blakeney to authorize bonded magistrates' constables of this state, having warrants of arrest in criminal cases, to execute the sauie in any part of the state without endorsement, and to provide compensation for the same. saturday, january m. The senate was not in session during the day ; but the bouse worked illustriously. A large number of new bills , were introduced, some of them of especial general interest. Mr. McDow introduced a joint resolution requiring the county supervisor of York county to draw his warrant H A Cmwford. ex-sheriff' of York county, for ?71.25?certain fees and costs iu criminal cases?and 1 the treasurer to pay tbe same. This < is a bill that had been duly rendered , by Captain Crawford ; but its payment \ was postponed and the original was finally lost in the office of the supervi- : sor. ! Mr. Moses introduced a bill to pro- c vide for ten judicial circuits. Under | this bill the Sixth circuit consists of f Fairfield, Chester, Lancaster, Kershaw J aud York. % There was a favorable report on a ' bill by Mr. McCraw, of Cherokee, pro- f vidiug that before passing travelers on ? horseback or in vehicles on the public 1 roads, bicycle riders must get the permission of such travelers.

P. Polt.s, ^ iu Greenville county, last August, died t in the Greenville jail last Friday. He v had been ill with dropsy since his trial in November. Death was sudden and ? unexpected. Williams frequently said ] long confinement would kill him. He C expected a new trial by order of the Jj supreme court, and was confident of final acquittal. Williams was 39 years r old aud unmarried. He had been in a business here 15 years. In 1891 he J killed Major Dixie Williams, but was j acquitted. His parents are quiet, good people in Pickens county. He was 1 kind hearted, aud not regarded a; a [ violent; but a dangerous man when i aroused. s y South Carolina Contests. Washington correspondence News and CourierTwo of the pendiug South Carolina contested election cases ^ are to be taken up for consideration iu committee next Friday. The contest against Representative Stokes falls by rtason of the death of the contestant, J Johnston. That leaves the cases ot " J /1L..C 1.1 Murray against itiinou aim uuaiii-ri agaiust Talbert to be decided. Chatlield aud Murray are both here looking after their respective interests, ami Representatives Elliott and Talbert are preparing for contest before the committee. There is no way of telling how soon these cases will be called up for consideration by tbe house after they have been passed upou by the committee. It is probable that the session will be well advanced before they are reached, if they are ever reached before the 4th of March. It will be remembered that Tom Miller, in his contest with Colonel Elliott, was i not awarded bis seat until the closing i hours of the congress. By the time he settled in his seat congress died on J his hands. f Tom Dixon Will Resign.?The ? New York Herald says the Rev. Thos. jDixon, Jr., will resign the pastorate of v the People's church next Sunday P morning, at the Grand operahouse. f Mr. Dixon will l^enceforth make his home in Cape Charles, Va., where he has a summer residence. He intends to abandon pulpit work. It is hinted that his determination to resign was partly caused by the fact that his congregations recently have not been so g large as formerly. t _ V AT THIJ CHURCHES. ) baptist. Rev. Edward S.
