WALHALLA, 8. C. t
WKDN KHDAV, JAN. 7. I003.
THE NEW COUNTY BOARD.
The now County Board of Commis- '
siouers, composed of D. F. MoAlister, )
Supervisor, and N. Phillipa and J. K ,l
Zachary, Commissioners, entored upon '
tho discharge of their ofQoial dutios last
Saturday, 3d instant. F. A. H. Schroder !
was elected clork, R. T. Jayncs attorney I
and Dr. J. IL Moore physician. The j
members of the Board aro working hard .
to familiarise thomselvos with the many ?
and varied details of the office. Their
task is arduous and difficult. They j
solicit tho help and co-operation of the ,
citizens throughout th? county. Many \
are the demands made upon their timo <
and efforts. Reroembor all tho roadB '
cannot he worked at once, neither can M ,
be made to pay $2 of the couuty's debut, i
It is uufortunate that thoy find the '
rmi ut \ so badly in debt. It is probable
that some $16,000 to $20,000 will be j
found out s tandi MK af tor applying the i
moneys collected on taxes for the past '
fiscal year. The correct amount can be -
approximately ascertained in a few days. i
It seems that the only way this indebted- -
noss can bu liquidated will be by the
issuance of county bonds, running for a ,
term of years. In tho meantime those
who hold demanda against tho county 3
must exercise a little patience. Don't |
fret too much; it won't do any good. |
You will ?et your money juBt as soon as i
it can bo paid. Tho Board has instructed
their clerk to begin at No. 1 of thc <
audived claims for tho past fiscal year, j
and pay in regular consecutivo order as t
fast as the County Treasurer report? J
money on hand subject to check. In this .
way no favoritism can be shown, and (
thoso who have waited longest will be '
paid first. It is not necessary to bo 4
calling on the clerk for monoy, for he ,
will draw the checks just as fast as the ?
monoy is roportod in tho treasury, and
tho ohecks will bo mailed to tho parties ,
holding the claims. It ia estimated that ,
ho may bo able to pay all claims audited
up to August of last year. Somo pro- 1
vision will then have to be made for .
settle,neel of balance. With tho very i
best management it will probably bo I
some three or four months boforo the (
looney can bo obtained.
T??S Legislature will bavo to loud a i
helping hand, lt is now "up to" tho *
members of our delegation, for a knotty 1
problem confronts thom. It is a condi- i
tion, not a theory. How shall it bo mot?
We confess it is embarrassing, but it is
uot hopeless. Lot us meet it like mon.
There is no use whining or sulking, j
Some easy plan for retiring the prcsont 1
indebtedness should ho devised, and '
trust to the new Board to curtail ox- ,
penses. They aro determined upon re
trenchment and reform. Of course tho f
necessary expenses of an cfticient county '
government aro couaidorablo. These
must continue, but a most rigid economy ]
must bo practiced if the county'8 nuances
are ever to bo placed upon a cash bnsis. !
To this end lot au earnest effort be made ,
FORMBB PREMIER SAOASTA died at
Madrid on Jnnuary 5th. His death was

The nowB of his death is the sourco of

Kv KN tho toy pistols aro getting a
"roast" at the hands of municipalities,
according to dispatches from Charleston,
S. C., and Norfolk, Va. It is claimed
that burns, caused by tho explosion of
tho "ammunition" used in the blank
cartridge pistols, tend toward lockjaw
and in many instances result fatally.
Under the circumstances it might be
well to include the toy pistol and "am
munition" with other Christmas follies
and taboo tho wbolo business.

THE MEWS FROM SENECA.
Seneca, January 0.-Indicatioua point
to the fact that the weather mau has
niuo enjoyed a Xmas booze Last week
we had a variety ranging from April's
sunshiue to December's blast, each alter
nating daily lu a most astonishing and
fickle manner.
The "Peake Sisters" played to a big
house on Tuesday night, aud the verdict
of all is that it waa a decided success,
as the leade?, Mrs. J. W. Byrd, co-ered
herself with glory, while the other char
acters were all good. Mrs. Bacon, aa
Deplora, mourning a long lost lover;
Miss Dana Moore, the giggler; Miss
Wy nonah Moore, the Ella outer; Miss
May Cherry, the "woman's righter" ;
Miss Clara Livingston, the poetess; Miss
Sarah Livingston, the French girl; Miss
Lillian Caldwoll, the deef and dumb sis

voars ago and whose image is produced
In wax; Mrs. II. J. Glgnilliat and Miss
Stella Fincunnon, tito twin*; Mrs. T. E.
stribling, aa Dorothy, all sustained their
respective roles moat creditably, show
ing wonderful adaptability. Miss Whit
mire got off the local hita in a moat
"striking" manner, and altogether the
mtertainment was a marked sucoesa.
s.mong those who perhaps played diffl
jult rolen moat successfully may bo met.
.toned Miss Caldwell, who as "dummy,"
n ber rendition of "Mendelssohn's song,
without words," brought down the
louse, while Miss Livingston, the French
(Irl, was perfeot, and elioited round after
?omul of applause. Miss Daua Moore,
n tho diffloult role of Elia-cuter, who
laving "swallowed an icicle germ com
ng down the Peak," was that "predis
posed" that the audience wa? disap
pointed in not hearing her rendition of
'Milton's Paradise Lost in full," the
it tacks of sneezing rendering her unlit
or "reclamation: however, the audience
ividently appreciated the fact that Ella
was very cute. Tho twins, too, who, on
tccount of their olose resemblance, the
aster calls "which and t'other," and
loniotimea even she gets so mixed up
hat she can't "extinguish them apart
md ties a ribbon on t*othor's arm, and

Consumption
Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork," was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott's Emulsion is the mod
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
Scott's Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
Scott's Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos
phites in Scott's Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.
A sample will be
sent free upon request.
Be lure that this picture In

Emulsion you buy.

EARTH YAWNED BENEATH THE TOWN.
Street Opened and Two Hotels and Houses
Plunged Into the Abyss.
Scranton, Pa., January 2.-Abandoned]
workings of the Kddy Crook colliery of
the Delaware MU? Hudson Company,
beueath the very heart of the town of
Olympbant, oared io thia evening* and
engulfed four frame buildings covering
an aggregate ground space of alz thou
sand square fret.
The settling waa gradual and people in
the affected territory escaped without
being immediately endangered. A gang
of men aud boys who were at work In
the mine beyond the fall encountered a
flooded "dip" pr depression in a vjln bi
making their way out. by a circuitous
route and had to Bwim from one rise to
the other. No ono either above or
below ground, however, sustained any
lujury. ' .
At 8 o'clock the settling began. At
8.80 it was no longoi perceptible. Ju the
intervening half hour O'Brien's threc
story hotel, Miss Ann Evan's double
dwelling, Mrs. Jane Aokerly's double
store building and a one-story barber
shop were a mound .of debris ip . the
yawning pit with the uppormo.it part of
the mound 40 feet below the ?ur face.
O'Brien's hotel, which plunged first into
the opening, bas entirely disappeared.
A few houses are projecting over the
edge of the pit. The veiu that caved io
ls 115 feet below tho surfaoe.
The settling started in the street just
in front of the hotel property.. The
brick street pavement was seeu to be
working and the telegraph poles ami
treos along tho curb wore noticed to !??
wobbling. The oause was at nuoe appar
ent and the alarm given to all the neigh
borhood. Two siok guests wore reraoyed
from tho hotel aud taken two blocks
away to a private house Some attempt
was made at saving the contents of, l,he
buildings, but tho rapidly Increasing
B?KO of the opening in the street but s
stop to this aud evcryoiiuiK.il iioui' the
neighborhood.
Twenty minutes after tho dist m haime
was" tiist noticed tho opening had
widened until it reached all the way
across tho street ami half way beneath
the O'Brien hotel. Then with a ten ?lie,
crash, tho hotel pitched forward., turnoff
completely about and landed on tts roof
in tho bottom of the abyss. A moment
later tho adjoining double dwelling fell
over the edge and demolished itself oh
tho linns of tho hotel. The Ackerly
double store building and tho Evans
barbershop property slid into the chasm
about tho same timo, and piled them
selves, broken and twisted, on tho other
debris.
It fa confidently believed tbero Will be
no further settling. The property dam
ago is estimated at $30.000. ' ' .
District Superintendent Bennett, of
the Delaware and Hudson Company
wont into the mino, and with a party ' of
other oflioinls, - made, an examination
about 5 o'clock. They carno put and re
ported that tho settling had ceasod. Tim
workings which had settled wore in tim
uppermost of tho worked vein's.1'. THe
timbers, it is explained by the ooirnpany
ofHoinlp, supported a thin roof of rooky
which in turn supported stratas of quick
sand and gravel extending to che sui tace.
Tho timbers rotted, tho roof gaye way
and all above then sunk into tho pit.

chance in 150,000 of attaining distinction
as a factor in the progress of the ago.
2d. That a common school education
Will increase his chances nearly tour
times.
3d. That a high school training will
increase tho chanco of the common
school boy twenty-three times, giving
him eighty-seven times the chance- of
tho uneducated.
4th. That a college education Increases
lue chanco of tho high school boy . nine
times giving him two hundred and nine
teen times the chanco of the common
school boy and more than right hundred
times tho chance of the untrained.
