their connection with ths institution would have been more than acceptable to the board j of trustees. Mrs. Bonner is one of the ablest j ? educators in the South, and in her long > years of service in the college, she has deep- j ly impressed her many noble qualities on the' lives and characters of hundreds of good ! women who have beeu under her instruction. The work of Prof. Bonner has also been up to a high standard of excellence. The understanding is that their principal reason for giving up their work is the stringency of the times. Rev. C. E. Todd, who now takes charge, is a man of ability and energy, and ; the friends of the college hope that he will; be enabled to at least keep the college in shape until the dawn of a brighter outlook.

Worth Looking Into. -- "People up this way ought to look into the advantages of the wood grate," remarked a gentleman yesterday. "They make a grate about twice the size of those used for coal, especially to burn wood. They are used largely in Charleston, where firewood is expensive, and give just, as good result as the ordinary fire place, at but little more than half the cost. Their advantages are well worth looking into by the people of this section." A Convention for Maclt 4. ? In our advertising column is a call for a convention of citizens of York county who are in favor of having the work of the approaching constitutional convention submitted back to the people for ratification. This idea seems to be one on which all people having the real welfare of the State at heart ought to be able to easily agree. The whole people of the State are necessarily better judges of a constitution uuder which they are expected to live than any 160 men who can possibly be selected ; and by all means the people should be allowed their say. That proposition is safe, fair and Democratic. True, or Not True? ? Yorkville correspondence of The News and Courier : There is still some talk relative to holding another election at this place on the question of dispensary or no dispeusary. It is said that those who have been active iu getting signatures to the petition asking for an election, arc quite confident of success in case an election is culled. It is said that they propose or expect to capture the Negro vote by a promise to have one of their number made porter for the dispensary at a salary of $25 a month, and the Negro who receives the appointment is to be elected at - ?t- i .1-- .1??:? ?l.~ ??K I 1(16 same lime uiai me eiccuuu uu iuc auujcct of dispensary or no dispensary is held. It is also reported that each voter is to be required to vote for a dispenser and porter, whether or not he votes yes or no on the . question of establishing a dispensary. Hath-n er queer kind of voting it would seem ; but Governor Evans is reported to have signi- 1 lied his willingness to have it done that * way provided the county board of control * had jjo objection. The latter officials have ^ not as yet agreed to the scheme; and it tt t also said that unless they do, there will be 1 no election, notwithstanding the fact that a s majority of the voters of the town are aid to have signed the petition asking for an election. 4. . ROCK HILL HAPPENINGS. / t # Splendid Work of Relief Committee?Unwarranted License of Small Hoys?Catawba Klfles Will Not Itcorganize?Lost His Life in* Contra- 8 liand? Sad Bereavement of Mr.SfltUli., Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Euqprer. C Rock Hill, February 18.?Last week was certainly a bard one in many i-espects?^not only lor . the needy of our community; but also for many whose business called them to be out in the very s inclement weather. Most people vere so much t occupied with providing for the coipfort of those ( specially dependent on them, thft it was not . until the latter part of the week that it began to J be generally known that there was widespread 1 suffering among our people for lack of both fuel 1 and food, such as has probably never been ex- j, perienced before in this eomminity. When once the full force of these appalling facts reached c our citizens?those who are able and willing to ? lend assistance at all times to their less fortunate neighbors?steps were taken at once to alleviate j, tin's suffering and to bring warmth and cheer | into the homes and hearts of many who, but for s the assistance thus rendered, would be in a truly <i deplorable condition. Mayor Fewcll called a m meeting of the citizens Saturday morning, which was largely attended, and arrangements were made for raising funds and appointing relief committees whose work should begin at once. If there is one thing that specially characterizes our mayor, 'tisthe big, warm heart that beats in his breast, and the rest of the city council, fol- s lowing his noble lead, agreed to give a dollar of f municipal funds for every dollar raised by pri- v v!ito oilisnrintinn for ri'lipvintr want and suffer ing in our midst. Captain W. L. Roddey, chairman of the com-j v niittee on soliciting subscriptions, reported Saturday evening that more than Sloo had been I raised already by private subscription, and he j was quite hopeful that the total amount would 1 soon be $500. The other committees, of course, t went straight to work as soon as appointed, and jhave already accomplished a great deal in finding out who really needed assistance and in . speedily giving aid toall such. 1 The indiscriminate snow-balling indulged in a by a party of small boys, who seemed to have i taken possession of the town during the lirst two c days after the snow came, ought certainly to j fall under the ban of a right-minded thinking . public. 'Tis very true that there is something in a big snow to bring out all the joyousness and overflow of animal spirits in young people, and even the older ones feel a certain exhilaration and desire for childish sports that nothing els*.' will amuse in them, but when the* liberty, t which all are disposed to concede to theyoi.ng t at such times, runs into license, then it ist?me ( to call a halt. When a party of youngsters, not content with snow-hailing* or "wallowing" J those who are willing to give and take with 1 them, or with whom they may feel free enough ? to take suet liberties in a good-natured way, ] attack a stranger upon the street'-, who is going j along attending quietly to his business, we sub- . nit it as a fair proposition t?tiat a big step has 1 been taken in the direction/uf lawlessness, and v lawless of the same .VJ'au that, pursued very 1 far, runs into mob luw, with all its attendant evils. Let those who are often disposed to think and say, "O, let? the boys have their fun !" 1 reflect wbat the topfdeney of such fun is, and x use their intluengeto keep all such sport within < proper bounds^ It seeuu potable now that the Catawba Rifles will ufy^v^anize under the new military law.

Several car loads of fertilizers were shipped to this section last year; but thequantitv this year will be much smaller. Miss Maggie Flunnagan has resigned as postmaster at this place, and Mr. II. C.

Pulin is getting out lumber with which to build a large barn. A little daughter, of Mr. W. S. Love, who lives near here, was badly sealded with hot coffee recently. About a year ago Messrs. Flannagan Bros, figured that there was no money in cotton and decided to put up a cannery. They planted 10 acres of tomatoes and put up 13,* 000 three pound cans. So far they have sold about 10,000 cans to Charlotte, Gastonia, King's Mountain, Blackshurg, Clover and Yorkville, and they will easily find ready sale/or the balance.

Within the past week, members of the local , board have received propositions from a Lloyds I insurance association, representing itself to be j the strongest of the kind in America, and oll'er' ing to take risks at "adequate" rates and pay the same commission as the old line companies. The proposals were rejected for the followf ing reasons: 1. Kncli member of this board is trying to ?- i"? t.:...,.?U' .? bwriilniatn nmunnr/iiiu I , I uuiiu up iui mucin i ? and permanent business. ' I 2. Without any responsibility to anybody, even to the laws (if the States in which they soI licit business, we regard the Lloyds as unsafe. Ry representing their association we might get a few commissions now and then that we would -' not otherwise have gotten ; but we are sure that | in the end some of our customers would be , | swindled by the sharpers, and that would be the end of our business. 1 3. Recognizing that in this selfish world of , ours that the principal business of every individual is to get the wherewith to keep the pot a boiling, we are unable to appreciate the sin' eerityofan association which seeks business on ! the plea of "patriotism," and represents that its principal object of existence is to tight octo, puses, etc. We are unable to comprehend why a foreign association should manifest such "a 1 practical interest in our "oppressed" people. 4. The old lino companies that wo represent have get-at-able assets for every dollar of liability that thoyhave incurred. These companies are regularly incorporated under State laws, > and the different States take it upon themselves , to see that policyholders arc protected. Lloyds associations are unincorporated, irresponsible, and their policies are not regarded ample security against loss by lire, even by the mercantile ( associations. The deliberate purpose of their organization is to get all they can, go as far as I they can, and then quit business and divide the 1 spoils. Having reputations at stake in the community in which we live, and also individual regard for our personal honor, we do not care to lend ourselves to any such schemes. We prefer to do a straight forward business in the much 1 abused but more reliable Old Line lire insurances companies. Loe.\r, Hoard, old Line Underwriters.

[Tubers, large. Special | Color, red. ' Shape, round and smooth. Points. | Flesh firm ; cooks dry and mealy. I Thev mature early; are very prolific. Will produce TWO CROPS IN ONE SEASON. Nearly all grow one size?very few small tubers. And this is the only potato we have ever grown that keeps in perfect condition in our climate from Spring until Winter. We sold the last of our spring crop last year on November 10, in perfect condition and firm. The potato bug destroyed the vines of the Early Itoso potato in 1893 in our fields, while they did very little damage to these, growing within 3 feet of the Early Rose variety. All points considered, this is the finest potato we have ever seen. It is a well known fact that potatoes that do well in one section of country, are often utterly worthless for other sections. This is the potato for this section, and as Southern grown second crop seed, are well known to be superior to Northern seed, we submit we have the ideal potato for this section.
