Hampshire, New York, South Carolina, ".Virginia and New Jersey in which there r fare more women than men. The District : ,of Columbia has the largest proportionate ' excess of female population and Montana contains the largest percentage of men. In New Jersey the two sexes are most P'joearly equally represented. Tho Columbia papers tell us that the - Comptroller General will have the money -for the Confederate pensioners ready for v distribution. It is true that the amount is very small, but it will be a very wel? come gift to many a poor soldier or his widow. The amount to each of the pen? sioners will be about $20, a little less than " the amount -paid last year. There are now 2,28G names on the pension roll, an 'increase of 117- over that of last year. . fipartanburg heads the list with 293 names, Greenville County comes next with 154 names, and Anderson County ranks third with 151 names. The most of the pensioners come from the upper part /of the State. The administration and Democrats generally are delighted with the March statement of the condition of the United . fitstes Treasuiy. It was, of course, known beforehand that the payments for '. the month would necessarily be unusu? ally large, but it was not known or even guessed at by ex-Secretary Foster tbat tbe March receipts wonlc. be some mil? lions in excess of his estimates. As a re? sult, instead of the bole in tbe available ca?b anticipated on account of the big ? Maroh payments, $1,500,000 was added to the surplus, and the free gold, now near the 18,000,000 mark, continues to accumu? late. Secretary Carlisle has received many congratulations upon his first month's showing, which but tends to confirm the general belief tbat he would make a successful Secretary of the Treas? ury. _ ?

They bave decided to make a reduction of only twenty per c int. on regular fares. This will apply only to round trip tickets and will give no stop-over privilege. The railroads take it for granted that everybody wants to go to Chicago during tbe fair, and they think those who could go at all will man? age to pay whatever they may choose to charge. This may be true, but it is dis? creditable to the railroads to squeeze tbe people in the way they propose. For years it has been the practice in all parts of the country for the railroads to give reduced rates to local fairs. They have allowed a one faro rate in thousands of cases and frequently have carried passen? gers for one cent a mile. Tbe World's Fair is by far the most important thing of the kind we have ever had in this country. It 1b a great educational agency and as many of our people as possibly can do so should see it. The rate fixed by tbe railroads -will either keep thousands from going to the fair or will impose an unjust exaction upon tbem. It is wrong, and in the long run will not prove profi? table jo the railroads. Hon. W. H. Brawley, who represents the First Congressional District in Con? gress, takes a high and patriotic stand in reference to the appointment of tbe Fed? eral officers in South Carolina. In con? vert iat ion recently with a reporter of tbe Charleston Sun in reference to the matter he said: "I have declined to go into any combination that would undertake to dispose of these offices. I have not yet determined finally what person I will re? commend for any of tbem and don't know whether my adyice will be asked. If it :is, I will advise that no man be appointed to Federal office who does not hold alle? giance to the Democratic party to be par? amount to allegiance to tbe demand of any other organization. Jdo not think that our local divisions should enter into this consideration and that any man's ap? pointment should be determined by the question whether he supported Tillraan or was against him. Many of Governor Tillman's supporters were as good Dem? ocrats as any in the land?but there are a great many men who are in sympathy with the People's party, and yet who claim to be Democrats?I do not think that the Democratic administration should appoint them." is ? Ex-Governor A. G. If cG rath died at his home in Charleston on Sabbath last, being a few months more than foar score years of age. For many years he prac? ticed law in Charleston. His abilities ware ofthe highest order, and in 1856 be was appointed District Judge for South Carolina by President Pierce. This posi? tion he held until the election of Abra? ham Lincoln as President so clearly por? tended the storm of war that soon follow? ed that Judge MoGrath resigned that he might cast bis fortunes with bis State at that momentous period. In 1864 he was elected Governor by the Legislature, and held thila position until arrested and im? prisoned by the Federal authorities. After release from prison Gov. MoGrath again began the practice of law and quickly built up a lucrative practice. Got. McGrath's death will be especially lamented by the older citizens of tho State, who knew him best. He was a gentleman of the old school, and in every sphere of life be reflected credit on his State and country. As indicative of the nobility of his character, we qnote the following from tho address he issued to the peo ple of the State just before his ar? rest and imprisonment for treason againBt the United States: "Whatever I nave said I believed to be true; whatever I have done I believed to be right." Awarded to the Finder. Carrollton, Ga., March 31.?An in? teresting ease of "treasure-trove" has been tried in the Circuit Court in a near? by county in Alabama. In 1890 Robert A. Wilson, a well-to-do farmer of Clay County, was ploughing in his field and turned up |6,000 in twenty-dollar gold pieces. The box which contained tbe gold-crumbled into dnst, which showed that thelnoney had been buried for years. John L. Wilson, a relative of Robert, brought suit for the money in behalf or Wilson Harkins, who has been dead for ten years, ho being Haskins' administra? tor. Lawyers were employed, and the ease was highly exciting. Wilson L. Harkins owned the farm on which the money was found. In 1865 he was a prosperous farmer and had an ele? gant mansion on tbe farm. On the 27th of March, 1865, Wilson's raid wsa made i near this part of Alabama, and an old ne-1 gro who was a slave of Harkins and who was the principal witness for tbe plaintiff swore that on the day Wilson's command was near by he saw his master run out of the door with a box under one arm and a bag that looked as though it con? tained money under tbe other. Tbe ne? gro aaid his master called to him to catch tbe horses and earn' tbem to a certain thick woods and tie tbem. He said his old master ran to a plum orchard with the box and bar. Tbe box of money was found between the roots of an old pear stump near tbe plum nursery. The money found was ail twenty-dollar gold pieces, and they boro dates all the way from 1848 to 1865, there being only three pieces that bore the latter date. It was proved that; no one had lived on the pi emises since Harkins died who would bave had that amount of money. The theory of the plain tiff was that Har? kins burlbd the money at the time the old negro saw him run out of tbe bouse with the box and ba&, and that be told no one of the spot, and when he died the se? cret died with him. The defendant cor,tended that, as tbe money was dated from 1848 to 1865, and as there was snoh a blockade during the early days of 1865, an tbe war was going on, It would have been next to impossi? ble for a twenty-dollar gold piece to have gotten from the mint in Philadelphia to Alabama from January i to March 27; hence Harkins could not have buried the i money at the time tbe negro saw him leave the house. Tbe decision, which ! was in favor of the defendant, Robert Wilson, Is the talk of the commu j nity. High-toned Burglars* St. Josefsc, Mo., April 4.?Edward I Sbellenberg, a merchant of Mound City, on Sunday night shot and almost in? stantly killed Wm. Stebbins, onsofthe wealthiest citizens of tbe town. For tbe last six months, almost nightly, stores bave been entered and most valuable ar? ticles carried off. Sunday night Shel ltnberger decided to keep watch in bia store. About 11 o'clock tbe rear door was opened by means of a key, and four masked men entered. As they reached tbe centre of the store, Sbellenberg turn? ed on tbe electric light and ordered tbem to throw up their hands. Three of them did so, but the fourth started to run, when Sbellenberg fired, and tbe man dropped dead. The shot attracted a crowd to the store, and the dead man was unmasked first. He proved to be one of tbe most popular young men in the city. His three com? panions were equally as high in tbe social scale. They were Walter Miller. Walter Cbittenden and Roscoe Carr. They con? fessed having committed all of the rob? beries. Owing to their social position and the fact that the leader of the band was killed, the merchants who were robbed refused to prosecute them. Their relatives made good all tbeir loss? es. A Missile from the Sun. Ossawatomijb, Kan., April 9,?An aerolyte fell near this town yesterday af? ternoon, striking tbe monument of John Brown, or "Ossawatomie Brown" as he was sometimes called, erected to bim by grivat* subscription originated by Horace reeley in 1863.

Washington, D. C, April 5.?The hearing given the Ocala Congressmen by Postmaster General Bissell to-day was a mighty interesting proceeding. It was held in the post office department at 3 p. m. and lasted until 5.30. There were present Senators Butler and Irby, Repre? sentatives Shell, Strait, Latimer and Tal? bert and ex-Representatives Jobnstone and Hemphill. Senator Irby having taken bis private stenographer along, Senator Butler engaged one also. Irby and Talbert were leud and defi? ant; Shell rather shy; Butler, Hemphill and Jobnstone, cool and keen. " Senator Irby started out by saying that while bis side was armed only with facts he had the authority of a gentleman for saying that Senator Butler had come stick in hand and pistol in pocket. Senator Butler challenged the name of bis informant. Irby said it was J. H. Tillraan. Senator Butler said it was false; be had never carried a pistol in his life ; be was amazed that this colleague should repeat so ridiculous a statement in this presence. Latimer spoke first. He claimed he had always been, and would always be, a Democrat; that wnile be bad opposed Cleveland's nomination, be bad acquies? ced loyally and helped elect bim. Mr. Hemphill said tbe question was whether Democratic patronage would be given to aid in opposition to Democratic pri nciples. He bad the right, as a private citizen, to make recommendations for office, and would continue to exercise it. The majority against him in the primary bad only been 173, and be represented more Democrats than Strait. He was surprised to see these gentlemen here. If be bad, like tbem, claimed that Cleve? land was not a Democrat, he would not, like them, be found asking favors of bim. Strait said that any assertion that be was not a Democrat was untrue. Mr. Jobnstone made a masterly sum? mary of Latimer's record in opposition to Democratic principles, and asked rjnea tion after question touching his presence at the St. Louis convention, etc., which Latimer didn't answer. He propounded these final questions with great impres siveness, telling Latimer not to quibble or evade: First?"Do you hold the Democratic platform adopted at Chicago to be supe? rior in the binding force upon you to the platform or principles of any other party organization or body ? No answer. Second?"Do you approve of, and are you in opposition to tbe platform of the Third Party adopted at Omaha?" No answer. Senator Irby asked Mr. Jobnstone if he hadn't voted for Latimer. Jobnatono said be had, as pledged in tbe primary. A similar question was subsequently asked of Hemphill as to Strait, and a sim? ilar was made. Mr. Talbert made a stump speech full of sound and fury, signifying nothing, and pounded the table until the noise resounded through the corridors. He insisted that this was a humiliating spec? tacle ; that he bad always been a Jeffer sonian Democrat, "opposed to corpora? tions of all kinds and all classes, and that the others ran on the same platform and were in the same position, which he claimed was Democratic. Mr. Shell said he was not called on to defend his Democracy, as there was no question of it. Still he cherished Alliance principles as equal to any other. He had attended Alliance conferences in Wash? ington with Jobnstone in tbe last Con? gress, and could say that no man con? tributed more to tbe success of tbe Alli? ance demands than did bis friend Jobn? stone. Latimer claimed last fall that Jobnstone had taken home from Washington letters from Livingston. Irby, Interpolating?"And Watson and Macune." Jobnstone?"I didn't do anything of the sort." Lj.timer?"And from Tillman, Everett and Moses." Shell said Jobnstone had repudiated the nub-treasury bill. Irby asked if he hadn't supported tbe sub-treasury scheme. Shell said he had favored the financial alms of tbe Alliance. Johnstone emphatically denied that he had supported the sub-treasury. He bad made his fight against it in 1890 and last year. Shell admitted that Jobnstone had said he didn't agree to the fiat money and un? sound money doctrines of tbe Albaner Postmaster General Bissell asked Irby if be wished to say anything. Irby said he would wait until Butler had spoken. Butler said unless it was distinotly un? derstood that his colleague was running this conference be would not be dictated to by bim. When be was to speak, be would speak, and not until then. If Irby desired to speak, let bim do so, on his own responsibility, and not attempt to dictate to him. Irby denied that he sought to dictate. If Senator Butler stood neutral between the "reform" and "anti-reform" factions in South Carolina, and wished to remain in that position, then be cheerfully ac? corded him tbe right. He had not been so regarded up to this time. Butler ironically thanked bim for bis kind permission. Irby spoke with passion and so vehem? ently that be could be beard In tbe corri? dor. He said he stood there as the State Democratic chairman and was surprised, mortified, humiliated and ohagrined, in common with all good people and true Democrats of South Carolina, at this in? quisition into the. Democracy of these representatives. He argued that tbo trio were true Democrats, who bad submitted to the action of tbe national convention. Tbey bad defeated these men who were now here trying to injure them in their party and put a stigma upon them. Hemphill tried to interrupt him, but Irby shouted his refusal to be interrupt? ed, saying Hemphill was not a represen? tative of Carolina Democracy. When the Tbiird Party showed its head in Sooth Carolina I fought it as zealously and hon? estly as any man in the United States. Hemphill and Jobnstone hadn't been for Cleveland until be was elected and there was a chance to secure crumbs of office. Jobnstone tried to reniy, but Irby re? fused to yield. Irby said be was respon? sible outside for anything be said. Irby went on to say' that Johnstone and Hemphill had folded their bands in 1890, during tbe Haskell movement, but now came here to impeach tbe Democracy j of tbe men who had beaten them fairly as Democrats, and who were aa true Demo I orats as any in South Carolina. Senator Butler said they had heard enough oratory and he didn't think it necessary to say anything. He had been invited there by the Postmaster General to be a listener, not a speaker. As a rep? resentative of Sonth Carolina be, tHo, thought this a humiliating spectacle ; but these gentlemen had brought the humil? iation upon themselves. Irby?"I deny it." Tbe Postmaster General admonished Irby that as be bad refused to allow inter? ruptions he must not interrupt. Butler to Irby?"I don't intend to sub? mit to any insolence from you. That sort of thing may be very well for a township meeting at horned but it's not very becoming to act in that manner here, and it's not going to win. I want that distinctly understood." Senator Butler said be bad nothing to do with the blacklisting. He would be very glad to be relieved of all the cares of patronage. Strait asked Butler if be regarded him as a Democrat, Butler?"You must vindicate yonr own Democracy. I've not impeached it." Strait?"I don't care whether you an? swer it or not." Butler?"Then it was a groat imperti? nence on your part to ask me." Johnstone said be bad alwavs opposed tbe sub-treasury bill. It was not true that be had taken home letters from Ma? cune and Watson, or Third Partyites. Some Alliance friends who had learned to like bim bad written to some gentle? men in South Carolina in bis favor, and he bad taken home that letter. He said it was not true that he bad folded his bands in the Haskell campaign. Hemphill said that be bad made three speeches for Tillman. Irby?"It must be so, thon j but I didn't remember it." Mr. Bissell did not say when he would render his decision, or what it would be, but two incidents are significant. When Latimer said ho would vete with the Democrats on the organization of tbo house, tbe Postmaster General asked him: "Which ia more important, the organization of the officers or the princi? ples of the party?" . Latimer was rather stomped, but re? plied : "I think the principles that effect our people more important than the men in office. Tbe other incident occurred after the bearing, when Latimer tried to ask Mr. Bissell something about bis home post office, Anderson. The postmaster "gen? eral replied : "I'll bear you some other time." Latimer?"! Just want to ask you ono question about it." Mr. Bissell?"I don't car... to answer that now." Latimer, Strait nnd Talbert took tho first train back to South Carolina. It is presumed that thoy aro tlrod, Postmaster General Bisseil will not r?ilor miy formal decision in tbGcase, but it is regarded as pretty certain that ho will begin soon the appointment of post? masters at the suggestion of tbe Conser? vatives. He reiterated to-day his deter? mination not to regard the recommenda? tions of Congressmen as final and not to appoint postmasters from beyond the delivery limits of the offices* These are of course adverse to the Ocalaite policies. llorr to Sleet the Evans Law. It was rumored all over the city yester? day that the eminent counsel rotained by the State Liquor Dealers' Association had united in signing a brief which in effect advised the liquor mon against a whole? sale resistance to the State dispensary law, which goes into effect on tlio first of July. It was known that a meeting of the executive committee of the Association was to be hold last night, and a Reporter for the News and Courier called upon Capt. B. Mantone, the chairman, and asked lor a copy of tho opinion for publi? cation. This C'Hpt. Mantone declined, saying that such action on bis part would be unauthorized as well us improper. FTe said, however, that he had no objec? tion to stating that counsel had advised the liquor dealers, in view of tin >onal ties of the Act, which aimed at tl .? con? fiscation of the property invested in the butiness, and which involved so much, that the Act should be generally observ? ed, except in so far as might bo actually necessary to test its cbnstitutiouality. This much Is official. It was learned, however, aliunde, as the lawyers say, that the opinion was read at the* meeting of the committee last night. It appears that the counsel had n conference on Tuesday, when the opinion was road to them and signed. The counsel in the case are Messrs. Simons, Siegling & Cap Selmann, J. N. Nathans and Mitchell & mith, of this city, and Mr. Jos. H. Earle, of Greenville, who was in the city on Tuesday for consultation. The conclu? sion to which the cosnsol arrived is sum? med no in the following: 1. We advise your committee, and through you your associates, to prepare to meet the statute as valid and constitu? tional and that on and after the 1st of July. 1893, it will be enforced. 2. In view of the heavy penalties and punishment prescribed by the statute we cannot advise you to continue selling after the 1st of July, 1893, but, on the contrary, advise you to comply with the terms ot the statute until it has first been adjudged invalid. 3. To test the question of the constitu? tionality of the statute on the point of Federal prohibition or discrimination we advise tbat proper proceedings be taken to test that question, but that pending such proceedings and the determination thereof the provisions of the Act be care? fully observed. The statute, so far as we can see, can only be tested after the 1st of July, 1893, by the attempt of the State or any of its officers to seize and sell liquors manu? factured in another State, and exposed for sale here by some one who has ob? tained and holds a license to sell liquors for the whole year. From this it would appear that tho law will not be contested till it is put into operation en July 1 next. Tbat on that date Borne one of the liquor dealers who ban a license for one year from County and city will be selected to make a test case, and tbat the others will close up their business. Should tho Slate bar? keeper "seize or sell liquors manufac? tured in another State and exposed. for sale in this State by some one who has a license for the whole year" that case will be made a test case, (lor the United States Court probably,) and the matter will be held in abeyance till the questions are settled. This will, m the usual order of things, and supposing it is carried to the United States Supreme Court, take a year, and possibly two years. Tbe announcement that tbe Governor and tbe chief State cock tail dispenser had gone West for the purpose of stocking the State bar room, published in the News and Courier yesterday, was the subject of a good deal of comment aud criticism in the city. The progress of the Governor as a buyer of whiskey and beer in the wild and woolly West for the consumption of our own people at borne will be watched with interest. A commercial traveller, who travels for some of the leading liquor houses of the West, expressed the opinion that the Governor and the chief State bartender would not find it as easy a thing to make a deal as they seemed to think it would be. Asked to explain this, be said it was simple enough. He doubted whether any responsible whiskey house would sell to the State even for cash, which he said the State didn't have. In the first Elace, be added, you can't sue the State, ot in the second place it wouldn't be worth'while to sell the State liquor for its bar room, because tht dispensary law couldn't last more than a year or so at the outside, and when it was repealed or became obsolete and unexecuted, and the men who had been run out of their busi? ness by ths State resumed, they would not be apt to give their trade to any firm which had aided the State in crushing them out. The question of the bar rooms, continu? ed the commercial traveller, is of course a secondary one. Of one thing you may be sure?tbe blind tigsr will cojne to South Carolina to take the place of the bar room. It is tbe city and tbe County tbat will suffer from the loss of revenues. The greatest disaster will occur to the wholesale dealers of the cities who will be driven out of the business. The whole? sale grocery trade of Charleston amounts to about $20,000,000 annually. That figure includes the wholesale liquor business. What is the proportion? 1 can't tell you, but I think you will find that when the News and Couria' begins to make up its annual review of the tradeand commerce of tbe city on the 1st of September it will have to knock oil several million dollars from the total trade. Major Mantone would not say anything for publication last night as to what the Association he represented would do under the circumstances, It is inferred, however, that the advice of counsel will be followed to the letter, as it was very generally understood that their opinion would be tali en before any definite line of action was agreed upon. It looks, therefore, as it a good many people will be thrown out of employment on the 1st of July, and as if a good many places of business would be offered for rent.? News and Courier, "Tritten Confession of a Dotor, Clarksville, Tenn., April 8.?There has been among the private papers of the late Dr. Francois Fountenay, the writ? ten confession of a crime which occurred twenty-eight years ago of which Dr. Fontenay was never suspected. Rev. A. M. Feltner, a rector of the Episcopal church, disappeared mysteri? ously in 1845, and a diligent search by his friends aided by detectives, failed to fur? nish any clew as to what had become of him. His wife had just died but beyond tbat no cause of melancholy was known and nothing could be learned to indicate any motive for going away so strangely. The document in question is a confession by Dr. Fountenay that he murdered Felt? ner. The confession goes into details. Dr. Fountenay was Mrs. Feltner's physician and was groatly interested in the case because of some peculiar features that ap? pealed to his professional zeal. When Dr. Fountenay yielded to the temptation to steal the body for an autopsy, he had it removed from ?he grave and was pre? paring to refill it when he received a stunning blow from behind. Wheeling ho found himself face to lace with Felt? ner, the latter maddened by tho desecra? tion of his wife's grave. The rector again attacked him and to defend himself, knowing that protests would be useless, the doctor seized a shovel and struck his assailant on the head, hoping to stun him and escape. Tho biow crushed the temple bone, causing instant death. The horrified murderer placed the body in the empty coffin and refilled thegrave. Rain washed away all traces of the work, and the strange disappearance was soon almost forgotten. Dr. Fountenay completed bis autopsy with great advautage to science. He adopted his victim's two children, both of whom are living. The daughter mar? ried a state official. The son is in the government service. Dr. Fountenay was a woalthy bachelor and left them bis fortune. Mrs Feltner's body was found where the confession said it had been buried in tbe celiur and rointerred beside that of her husband. ?

It represented twelve years labor ox ponded in original design and appli? cation upon a clock, which is said to rival that of the celebrated ?Strasburg 1 Cathedral, and to have no equal in Ameri? ca. In 1881 E. A. Locks, secretary, of the Waterbury Clock Co., conceived the idea of constructing the clock, and work upon it was immediately begun. It was the original intention of the company to have it finished and placed on exhibition at the Paris exposition in 1889, but the scope of the undertaking assumed more aud more colosBal proportions as tbe work progressed, and it has been com? pleted but a week. The time piece stands sixteen feet in height with a six foot base. It is made of black walnut, highly polished and handsomely carved, with scenes repre? senting American history from the land? ing of Columbus to the present time. At the lower part of the clock, and on each side, is an allegorical scene representing mechanical progress during the past cen? tury, every figure in each group being in motion. The largest sceno is in the cen? tre of tho clock. It represents the "train room" of the Waterbury Clock Co., with all t he shafting and machinery in opera? tion, and twenty-five operatives at work in that department. Four scones are represented on the sides of tbo clock. The subject of one is a cotton gin in full operation in a cotton field, with the negrees carrying tho cotton in from tbe fields, and placing it on tbe cotton gin, while Eli Whitney, who stands by, is explaining the workings of the machine to a plauter. A second scene shows the old methods of manufacturing cloth. The operatives are at work beating the flax and preparing it for the looms and spinning wheels. A third scene represents a coal mine with the cage working and tho miners digging into tbe banks of coaL A fourth is a representation of the im? provement in sewing machines. Elias Howe is watching the work of one of his machines, while close by modern ma? chines are plying, and in another adjacent group are a number of women, laboriously sewing by hand. Tho fifth group indicates the advance in the electrical world. Electrician Daft is represented running a dynamo. The sixth shows the interior of a telephone and telegraph office, with operators at work, and messenger boys running in and out. Scene 7 contrasts the old and new meth? ods of manufacturing watches, showing the improved factories of the present day, and a kitchen in Switzerland where watches were made by hand a century ago. Tbe last is an old fashioned saw mill, with tbe saw running, logs moving and children playing near by. The figures are all operated by an elec? tric motor, and are constantly in motion. The centre of the clock is occupied by a beautiful water color painting of the buil? dings of tbe clock company, while just above is tbe handsome dial of the clock. It is three feet in diameter, and indicates the days of the week, month and year; tbe hours, minutes and seconds of the day; the moon's phases and the tides. Each figure represented is an exact like? ness, and the whole is complete in every respeot. At the top is a handsome carving of the Declaration of Independence, with a reproduction of the famous old liberty bell. The clock will be sent to tbe Colum? bian ExpoFitioa in three weeks. It is valued at 860,000. The work on it has been entirely done in secret by the well known designers, D. A. Buck and F. E. Hubba.-d. This is one of the most char? acteristic exhibits Connecticut will make at the exposition.?Boston Journal of Commerce. Two Grooms, one Bride. Chicaoo, March 31.?Charles Spence, of Toledo, 0., says: "I drew 81,000 from bank and came bore with Maggie Short, a widow, to get married. A man named Morgan, a former clerk in the Jefferson Hotel, monopolized all ber time, and during tbe whole journey to Chicago be occupied tbe car seat with ber and I was obliged to sit alone. After leaving Elk - hart she actually laid her head on bis shoulder and went to sleep. "This made me mad, and I half made up my mind not to marry ber when we reached Chicago. Tbo fellow said good? bye at the depot here, and I supposed be would let my bride alone. We came to the Great Northern, and she said she guessed she'd do some shopping while I hustled for a marriage license. So I gave her 8100 and started out to arrange for tbe marriage, Later in tbe day, on my return to the hotel, I found that Morgan sitting on the sofa beside her in tbe ladies' parlor. " 'Say, I like your nerve,' I said walk? ing up to him. 'This lady is my affianced wife.' " 'Well, I guess not,' said he. 'I can go you one better. She is my lawful wife. We were married S. urday in Toledo and are on our wedding trip.' "I saw I was badly duped, and made an effort to get back my 8100, but said she bad spent it. Well, I let them go, and I guess I've got the better of tbe bar? gain after all. A fellow can never tell whom he's marrying nowadays, can he? I'll go back to Toledo." Union Meeting.

The hoys are einging allegretto, "get right," and for the post week farm work has been progressing very rapidly. Since the 3rd inst., planting cotton seed has been the order of tho day with a great many of tho farmers of this vicinity ; some of tliom ate about done. The "Variety Store" is now the Renter of attraction at this place. The proprio tors are opening up new goods mos' every day, which they are making at very low figures. Give them a call. We are reliably informed that the Mountain Springs Debating Society will be re-organized shortly. Our people will be glad to bear this, as the entertainment afforded by this society has been missed very much. The trees are beginning to put on th?ir inimitable coats, and ere long we shall see swinging beneath the mo?t stately oaks in tbe grove a hammock, something that is prized very highly by Spring poets and news gleaners. We would advise the Advocate's Meal's Creek correspondent (the one that indors? ed Governor Tillraan for United Btates Senator last week) to take three "Alli? ance Liver Pille" immediately. Of what kind of men is our Legislature composed ? It seems that they try to pull down instead of build up home industry. When we turned our attention to grape culture and was beginning to plant out little vineyards they put a damper upon tbe business. And now that capitalists have become Interested in this beautltul country of ours and are building up cot? ton mills, something that not only bean tify and adorn it, but something that is of vital importance and a great benefit to her people, they have become alarmed, put on the damper, raised the smoke head and passed a Jaw?a labor law! They knew nothing about spindles and looms is a tact that is self-evident. They have passed a law restricting tbe hours of labor in cot? ton mills to eleven hours per day, thereby enforcing the owners of tbe mills to make a reduction in wages or charge the opera? tives house rent. This law is causing much confusion, and will be of no benefit to the dear people whatever, but will be a heavy loss to the mill owners. Now, it is a mystery to nie how how a man that is a man can advocate any such measures. It is true that there is a terrible howl raised about the poor little factory chil? dren, when in nine cases out of ten they would not exchange places with those tbat work on tbe farm. Let us follow some of these men who are always howl? ing about the poor little factory children to their homes and see what kind of work is done by their own little children. In the Spring of the year we see them dis? tributing fertilizers, lot and stable ma? nures ; in the fall we see them In the cot? ton fields, while tbey are dripping with dew, picking out the staple, exposing themselves to the cold at the order of tbeir philanthropic father in order that he may get his cotton off on the manufactur? ers in "good case," and later on in the season, when tbe frost has felled tbe leaves we see the tiny little fingers aobing with cold gathering out tho fleecy looks. When we take these things into consider? ation we are forced to the conclusion that if we are likely to have ' more radical leg? islation on this matter next winter," It should be framed for tbe producers in? stead of tbe manufacturers. _ Nep Needle lieulah Items. I see our community is not represented In your valuable and most interesting columns, Mr. Editor, therefore I will make an. effort occasionally to give you some of the happenings of our locality. Our farmers are making fine progress on their orops. We see some of them are planting cotton seed this week. It seems that our farmers can't abandon the idea of planting large crops of cotton, although they are planting more corn this season than usually. We are anticipating low prices for cotton this fall, and we think it a step in tbe right direction .for farmers to plant and raise more domestic supplies. The health of our community is as good as common, except that of Mrs. J. C. Smith, who has been very ill for some time, but we are happy to state tbat she is convalescing. Mr. and Mrs. Smith are the moot elderly citizens of onr communi? ty, and they are both faithful Sunday School teachers, and are always at their post unless providentially hindered. We heard a most excellent sermon preached at this place Sunday, March 2(3 th. The reason this sermon was so excellent is that it was borne by such an excellent vessel, Rev. Marquis Boyd, of Newberry. ' Uncle Mark" is about 88 years of age, and has been preaching about 65 years. He preached from this text, "Serve the Lord with all your heart." Everybody present seemed to enjoy his sermon for ho spoke with eloquence and power. Eternity alone can tell the good that God has wrought through the influence of this good man. He has throe sons and all of them are prominent ministers of tbe Gos Eel, one of whom is our beloved pastor, :ev. G. M. Boyd. We have at this place a flourishing Sab batb School, which never vacates or goes Into winter quarters. We also have a live./*pyer meeting which meets every SaWcA night. VqM Mr. Editor, I suppose I have wt Jn about enough to fill tbe vacanoy of ir waste basket, and if you will n>*4Mxcuse me, I will go to my plough. 8 9 Abs Stub bins. / Oakland Dots. Well, Mr. Editor, as it has been some titno since you have heard from us, we wih' let you know that we are still alive. The school at this place, uuder Prof. Harper, is in a prosperous condition. ? Mr. Luther Alewine and wife went to Abbeville last Saturday on business. April fools are quite common just now. Cotton planting time is nearly bore now with some of the farmers. Mr. A. M. Erwin, of Center of Gravity, has purchased a fine pheaton. Mrs. J. D. Alewine is very successful with her chickens. She has now nearly oue hundred little ones. RAnniT Foot.

At a recent meeting of the congregation of Six-and-Twenty Baptist Church, the following tribute of respect was adopted : In memory of Sister Nancy E. Ward law, who departed this life January 20th, 1893. In girlhood she joined the Dorches? ter Baptist Church, and ever after lived a consistent life, and was loved by all who knew bor. She was never bappier than when ministering to others in their af? flictions, and deemed it a joy as well as a duty to make those around ber bappy. She fought the battle through life bravely, and has gone down to her grave bearing with her the respect, love and a memory that shall outlast all things mortal. We feel safe in saying that if we who are left to mourn our departed sister will but emulate her virtues and lean upon the One in whom she trusted, we will eventually strike bands with her on the banks of the beautifal river. Her remains were laid to rest in the Six-and-Twenty cemetery to await the final consummation of all. We recommend that a page in our Church book be spread sacred to tho memory of our departed sister.
