WALHALLA, 8. ?. I
WBDNKNDAWi APRII. 19 t*H?9.
MUNICIPAL IMPROVEMENTS.
As the work progresses in layiug tho
'new hexagon block sidewalk on Main
street, the great improvement as to ap
pearance and tho marked convenionco to
the publio are more and moro apparent.
It is a beginning whioh we hope will not
?nd soon, and as rapidly as possible tho
work should bo oxtoudod to parts not
now inoludcd in the contract already
i wai ded. Tho addition to tho value of
property fiontcd bj this handsome pav
ing is more than thc cost of tho work,
and, besides, it shows progress on the
part of tho local authorities as well as
the property owners.
Tho spirit, whioh prompts this and
other improvements cannot bo too
warmly oooimeuded, ano we xeei timt it
is only tho bogiuniug, and that larger
ami hotter things arc yot to como. Let
each citizeu endeavor to soe how much
in tho way of improvement ho can mako,
not just how little eau bc gotten along
with. This is the iii st time an effort has
been mado in tho matter of the town
authorities working in connectiou with
the property owuer. and it has been pro
ductivo of good results. When tho two
work separately for improvomonts each
is hindered by a lack of unity, but when
their forces aro joined the work moves
smoothly and much more is accom
plished. Lot tho work continuo steadily,
and let every citizen and every official
-work without interruption for the im
provement and up-building of Walhalla.
SOMETHING WRONG IN ANDERSON.
Under tho caption, "Beautifying Court
Square," the Anderson Mail hands up to
US those three "pointed" paragraphs:
"The plans for tho development of tho
bnrron placo now known as Court Square
<havo so far crystal ?zed as to make it cer
tain that it is to bo perhaps ovou prettier
than tho Plaza. Work will bo be
gun upon its improvement at once.
"A doctor in Moxico deolaros that the
tapeworm is a sure cure for consumption.
Wonder what tho Keowoo Courior would
say if tho doctor should diseovor that
.ableite snakes will cure typhoid fever?
"Ho patient. You oau't expect Oyama
to win a big victory ovory day, can you?"
Why, to bo sure, if cabbage snakes
.would euro typhoid fever wo'd advise
people who don't happeti to live iu a
good, healthy place liko Walhalla, to
"catch 'em and oat 'om alive." But wo
fear nomo ono in Tho Mail oflice has gono
wrong. Whon an ordinarily steady and
accurate papor liko Tho Mail gets off
three paragraphs liko that under the
"hoad of "Beautifying Couti Square,"
itt about time for tho cork to be put in

And John Paul Jones's remains have
been found in Paris and will bo returned

jealous of each other as those of tho

a protest against Jones being ie interred
on the same continent with thom.

Tho Anderson Daily Mail risos to re.
i'.uark: "Tho Koowco Courier actually
puts itself in the samo class with tho

tated before wo did it. But we'll bo up
ignin soon to our accustomed placo, and
:f Tho Mail will bo real good for a spell
.t may manage to got closo onough for us
to lend a helping hand so that we can

In a speech in Danville, Arkansas, last
week, to a largo gathoring of farmers
and business mon, advocating a r?duc
tion of cotton acreage, Governor Jeffer
son Davis combated the idea that the
organization of farmers with a view to
securing botter prices for cotton was in
violatiou of the now anti-trust law of
Arkansas. If it were held otherwise
by the courts, the Governor declared, he
would pardon all far mors prosecuted and
convicted under the new act.
The Andersou Intelligencer of last
I week gavo the following advioe to farm
ers: "l'en vi ne hay at $15 a ton-tho low
est (.rico for which it oan now bo pur
chased-is equally profitable as cotton at
8 cents. Tho looal demand for peavine
hay is greater than the supply and car
load after carload of Western hay is
hoing sold on this market. The farmers
of Audorson county would not loso mouoy
if they wore to cut down tho cot ion acre
ace one-half instead of ono-fourtb, if
they planted tho laud in forage crops,
peavine hay especially."

Paul Jones' Body Found In Paris
Pari?, April 14.-The remarkable search
which Ambassador Porter bas conducted
for tho body of Paul Jones has been
crowned with success by the discovery ol
t' e body and its identification to-day bj
the highest Krouch medical experts at
unquestionably that of the famous Ameri
can admiral who fouudod the American
navy. Ambassador Porter cabled tc
Washington to-night announcing thc suc
cessful results of his long and dillieuH
search. The body is in a good stato ol
preservation considering that the inter
meut took place over 100 years ago.
The circumstances leading to the fina'
disoovory of tho body aro particular in
foresting, (iou. Porter bas couduoted thc
search for tho last livo years, and whet
Congress recently took no action on tin
President' ? recoin mendat ion for the OX
penses incideut to tbe search, the am
bassador continued tho extensive labori
at bis own expense. A large forco o
workmen has beou engaged night and da]
tunneling and cross tuunoling the old St
Louis cemetery. This constituted a hug?
operation embracing nearly a blook cov
ered with buildings and requiring a sys
tem of subterranean mining.
Hundreds of wooden caskets won
found, but not until Wednesday were un
oarthod four loadon caskets whioh gav?
promise of containing tho body of th?
admiral. Three of them bore plates des
ignating tho names of the deceased. Th*
fourth showod suporior solidity of work
manship. No plato was found ou thii
caskot and it is supposed it was remover
when another collin was supei imposed Ol
it. Tho loadon collin was opened in th<
presence of Gen. Porter, Col. Bailly-lllan
chard, tho second secretary of the Amori
can embassy, and Engineer Weiss, whe
has boen directing tho excavation. Thc
body was found to bo well preserved ow
ing to ita beiug immersed in alcohol. It
was wrapped in a shoot with a packing ol
straw and hay. '1 hose present wero im
mediately Struck by tho resemblance ol
tho head to that on the medallions and
busts of the admiral.
As v. as anticipated uo uniform, decora
tion or sword wero found, as all such ar
tides had boon accounted for after thc
burial.
Tbe collin is shaped like a mummj
collin, which collins wire com mon at thal
period, widening from the feet to thc
shouldors, with a round top Mi'.ing ovci
tho bead.
Tho collin was taken to the medica
school where Doctors Capitan aud Papil
laut, distinguished professors of thc
school of anthropology, and recognized
authorities on such investigations, wore
charged with making a thorough oxami
nation for tho purpose of identification
To facilitate this tho ambassador fur
uished them with portraits and modal
lions, two hast s by Houdin, and authentic
denen pt ions of the color of the adm'ral'i
hair and tho height and measurement oi
his body. Tho identification was pro
nouncod complete in every particular.
Caro has boon taken to koop tho bod]
in its present state of preservation. Il
will be placed in a handsome caskot and
deposited in the receiving vault of thc
American church on the Avenue dc
1/Alma, until thu ambassador can leart
the opinion cf tho government concern

porting it to the United Statesaud giving

Board May Close the Seminary.
Columbia, April 15.-It is likely that
tho board of directors of tbe Columbia
Theological Seminary, at a meeting to be
held lu a few dayB, will order the closing
of tho institution, at least temporarily,
until a thorough canvass of the four
stat cs controlling it eau bo niado to Bee
if the attendance problem can be solved.
This canvass will bo made through the
coming summer and continued, if there
are hopeful sigus. There are less than a
dozon students left ofter the year's crop
of graduates got out, and the attondanoe
question, which has boon steadily grow
ing more serious, has reached a criais.
Many bitter controversies, involving the
inst it nt ion, bave boen waged in tho past
quarter of a century, and .tho result is
that the institution is gotting little or no
patronage from othor States and practi
cally nono from its one State. The acri
monious, though unsuccessful fight made
last summer to remove tho seminary to
Atlanta, reoponed old wounds, and has
addod to the goneral distress.
Squire Bailes in Trouble.
Charlotte, N. C., April 13.-'Squire W.
O. Bailes, who is known far and wido as
the magistrate who has married more
co iples in the past few years than all of
the ministers combined, yesterday shot
and fatally wounded his cousin, Edward
Bailes, a prominent youug mau of this
county. It seems that bad feeling has
existed botwoon tho Bailes families, and
that a quarrel et,sued yesterday as the
result of the old grudgo. Mailes'* physi
cian says to-day that his condition is
very critical, aud thu probability is that
he cannot recover from tho effect of tho
wound. 'Squire Bailes has been arrested
and will be given a hearing at Fort Mill,
