"As far back as I have any knowledge?45 years, at least." "Wbat is the lowest point previously registered ?" J "Years ago, an ordinary thermometer tbat I then bad in my possession registered two degrees below zero. But I am satisfied that the thermometer wm not correct. It may have been colder or net quite so cold. I am satisfied, though, it was not as cold as it is now." "Then there is no question as to the correctness of your government thermometer ?" "No, it is oorrect; or at least I am able to determine the exact temperature from it. It now registers fi ve degrees below zero; but on account of a fault in the placing of the glass to the scale, this means an error of two degrees. I have made allowance for this error." "And what about the snow fall of Saturday and Sunday. How deep was it?" "I measured very carefully in a dozen or more places, and from these measurements I calculate that the depth was exaetly 8 inches. Melted, it amounted to thirty-six one-hundredthsof an inch." The total rainfall during January, according to Mr. Schorb's very accurate record, was 5.01 inches ; and during Fftbruarv. ud to and including the snow fall of Saturday and Sunday, was 4.69 inches.

As the result of the snow and freezeup there have been no star route mails in or out of Yorkville this week. The riders failed to show up on Monday and again on yesterday. As to whether or not they will report for duty this morning, of course, is only a matter of possibility. York's Tux Levy.

The suit is of a friendly nature; but it is intended, hurt or help, to establish the law. The reporter understands that I no animosities or conflicting private interests are involved. v Tax Returns.

Charlotte Observer, Sunday : Last night two young white men entered Mr. Shuman's store, near Atherton, and asked him to 'phone for a doctor and the police, that they had been assaulted and cut by unknown parties uear the Atherton mill. The blood was flowing freely from one man's face and arm, and from the other's wrist. Mr. Shuman 'phoued Chief Orr at once. A carriage was sent for them and they were brought to police headquarters. On being interrogated they gave their names as Will McCoy and C. A. Nevin, of Fort Mill, S. C. They had been assaulted, they said, by unknown parties?boys.

Mr. McDow Misquoted. Mr. McDow was misquoted io our ' report of tbe legislative proceedings last Saturday. That portiou of tbe i report was extracted verbatim from ' the Columbia correspondence of The 1 News and Courier. Mr. Kobn has 1 made tbe correction in bis paper. , Here is tbe way he fixes it: "In my , report of yesterday's proceedings, rel- ; ative to tbe South Carolina college ' appropriation, tbe wires, or somebody ' else, made a mistake. Mr. McDow, of York, asked the question of Mr. Blease r as to Dr. Carlisle's salary, and what came in tbe way of debate should < have been credited to Mr. Blease. < Mr. McDow favored tbe committee's ' suggestion of $27,500 for the South ' Carolina college, and is one of tbe ( warmest friends of that and all state ( oolleges. Mr. Blease, and not Mr. f McDow, wanted to provide for reduc- ' ing and fixing tbe professor's and pres- ' ident's salary." 11 Advantage of Good Roads. Messrs. John F. aod VV. S. Gordon sold Mr. J. H. Riddle a big lot of cotton seed recently, and during the past few days they have been making delivery. The Messrs. Gordon live out on the Charlotte road, about 4} miles from town, and they have been hauling these seed at the rate of something like 8,500 poands to the. load. One load weighed exactly 3,365 pounds. They used four mules; but Mr. John F. Gordon remarked that he could have easily done the work with three. The point in the incident is the fact that it was possible to deliver the seed at all. Any other farmer, on any ot her road, the same distance from Yorkville, could not have made delivery at less than 50 per cent, more thau the cost to the Messrs. Gordon. Two years ago, at this season, the Messrs. Gordon could not have undertaken to deliver the same amount of seed at 50 per cent, advance on the then market price. Good roads evidently pay. MILES ON THE NEW ARMY. -Tbilisi There Should Be 75,000 Hen With 100 to the Company. ~ 1 J?.. tienerai i>J.lies appeareu uuc u?j iaa? week before the sub-committee of the senate committee on military affairs, which has the army reorganization bill under consideration. He suggested that, in view of the probability that the reorganization bill could uot get through this session, a temporary substitute should be provided for the maintenance of the army on its present basis until the next session of congress. General Miles also made several recommendations bearing upou the general bill; but these were largely aloug the lines of suggestions made by him which have already been given to the public. Oue of the recommendations which he repeated was for the organization of the army upou the basis of one soldier for every 1,000 of the population of the Uuited States proper, and for every 500 of those occupying outside possessions.' The sub-committee has practically abandoned all idea of attempting to revive the grade of lieuteuaut geueral of the army because of the controversies existing among the officers of the army of high rauk. General Miles said that be had made a calculation showing that upou his estimate the army would uumber about 75,000 meD. He thought we should - A/VA _ * l _ 1VLM:.

To iucrease the number would give too many meu to the officers in oharge of tbeui and thus endanger discipline.

Wertenbaker, surgeon United States Marine Hospital service, who came to Atlanta several days ago at the request of Governor Candler, has returned to the city after au investigation of the smallpox in several counties of the state, says an Atlanta dispatch of Friday. Dr. Wertenbaker reports that the disease in the counties visited is very light and can be easily stamped out. He left touight for other counties, where the pest is reported. Dr. Werteubaker said : "Smallpox that I have found this time in Georgia is very mild. Many have it in this mild type and don't know what is the matter with them. I would prefer that the type be a little mnwi mali?i!?nt nail, unnld then make LX4V/.V tlie patient sick enough to go to bed and we could stamp out the epidemic easier. "The disease is everywhere throughout the United States. It is just as prevalent iu summer as winter. We hear of more cases in the winter and i during the cold season because the people stay closer together in the winter and live in houses that are much closer , than in summer. Governor Candler today sent a circular letter to the health authorities of every county in the state making inquiries as to the existence of smallpox or suspicious sicknesses, which showed > a teudency to develop that disease. MERE-MENTION. The president signed the peace treaty last Friday.

Columbia correspondence News and Courier, Saturday : A telegram was received yesterday by an olficer of the Second Tenuessee regiment, stating that Frist Sergeant W. J. Hancker, company C, of Memphis, had been shot by a private formerly of bis com pany, whose name has uot been learned. It seems that this private hud an old grudge against Hancker, and had threatened to kill him after the muster out. A general fight was started on the train, and this private, taking ad vantage of the opportunity, shot the sergeant three times in the head. He was instantly killed by the first shot. After the shooting the prviate pulled the bell cord, and when the train slowed up jumped off and ran. It is rumored that he came back to Columbia; but this is oot probable. The sergeant is spoken of by his superior officers as a quiet and inoffensive man. It is not known exactly where the shooting occurred; but it is supposed to have been done between here and Augusta, on the South Carolina and Georgia special, which left here Wednesday night. Thk Beef Investigation.?The preparations for the court of inquiry into General Miles's charges concerning the character of the army beef are being pushed at the war department with the greatest expedition. It is stated at army headquarters that all the information General Miles had obtained from officers' reports and other sources on the character of the meat, had been transmitted to the war investigation commission before that body adjourned. From the commission it was returned to the war department and thence will be transmitted to the court of inquiry. Colonel George B. Davis, the judge advocate of the court, was at the war department today, making preparations for the session of the court, ami later in the day went to the agricui tural department, where the analysis of the army meat were made, to look into that end of the proceedings with a view to determining how far the experts of the department might aid the court in thoroughly probing the matter under consideration.
