tumorous Department. A Clevor Imitation. A certain Cleveland attorney, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer, has two bright little children. They are quick at imitation, and have a talent for making up games In which they cleverly burlesque their elders. A few days ago their mother found they were playing "doctor." The younger child was the patient, with head wrapped In a towel, and the older, the phislclan, with a silk hat and cane. The mother, unseen by the little ones, listened at the doorway: "I feels awful bad," said the patient. "We'll fix all that," said the doctor briskly. "Lemme see your tongue." Out came the tiny red Indicator. UTT * ?? I t aolrl tbp dflC nuin : 11uiii. tuaitu. um>v> ?..v ?? tor. looking: very grave indeed. Then, without a word of warning, the skilled physician hauled off and gave the patient a smart slap in the region of the ribs. "Ouch!" cried the sufferer. "Feel any pain there?" Inquired the doctor. "Yes," said the patient. "I thought so," said the healer. "How's the other side?" "It's all right," said the patient, edging away. Thereupon the doctor produced a small bottle filled with what looked like either bread or mud pills, and placed It on the table. "Take one of these pellets." said the physician, "dissolve in water, every seventeen minutes?al-te-mitly." "How long mus' I take 'em?" groaned the patient. "Till you die." said the doctor "Good morning." Got Evex With the Interrupter.? The little man was expounding to his audience the benefits of physical culture. "Three years ago," he said, 'T was a miserable wreck. Now what do you suppose brought about this great change in me?" "What change?" said a voice from the audience. There was a succession of loud smiles and some persons thought to see him collapse. But the little man was not to be put out. "Will the gentleman who asked 'what change* kindly step up here?" he asked suavely. "I shall then be better able to explain. That's right!" Then grabbing the witty gentleman by the neck: "When I first took up physical culture I could not even lift a little man, now (suiting action to word) I can throw one about like a bundle of rags." And he flung the Interrupter half a dozen yards along the floor. "I trust, gentlemen, that you will see the force of my argument, and that I have not hurt this gentleman's feelings by my explanation." There were no more Interruptions.?Kansas City Independent. Short Speech Cauoht the Jury.? When Baron Bramwell was once sitting on the Crown side on the South Wales circuit, counsel for the defence In a certain case asked leave to address the Jury in Welsh. The case being a simple one, permission was given without demur. He said but very few ? Wa olort nnf thlnlf wuruo, IIIC uaivil mow uiu nwv much comment was necessary, but was somewhat startled by a prompt verdict of acquittal. "What was It," he afterward Inquired. "that Mr. L? said to the jury?" "Oh he Just said. 'This case, gentlemen. lies In a nutshell. You see yourselves, exactly how It stands. The judge Is an Englishman, the prosecuting counsel Is an Englishman, the complainant is an Englishman. But you are Welsh, and I am Welsh, and the prisoner Is Welsh. Need I say more? I leave It all to you.'" It is scarcely necessary to mention, says the writer of "Some Legal Reminiscenses," that Baron Bramwell did not allow the experiment to be repeated of addressing the jury in a language which he did not understand?Tit Bits. The Lion's Shake.?"That Is a quibble, a mere quibble," said Walter Camp, Yale's athletic adviser, in a discussion of football rules, according to the Kansas City Journal. He laughed Ironically. "That reminds me," he said, "of the children of a friend of mine whom I visited in the summer. "Those children, two boys, got on none too well. , " 'Here,' said their mother to the oldest of them one day, 'here Is a banana; divide It with your little brother. and see that he gets the lion's share.* "The younger child, a few minutes later set up a great bawling " 'Mamma.' he shrieked. 'John hasn't given me any banana. "What's this?" said the mother, hurrying in. " 'It's all right,' exclaimed the older boy. 'Lions don't eat bananas.'"

Cunningham have returned from the meeting of the Southern Cotton association In New Orleans. In a conversation yesterday Mr. White expressed himself as very highly Impressed with what was done by the association. He Is convinced that in Harvie Jordan the cotton growers have the right man. Mr. Jordan is a magnetic man, a fine speaker, and he enjoys the unbounded confidence of the entire membership. Mr. White says that a spirit of harmony pervaded the meeting and the entire assembly pledged itself to work for the attainment of the purpose which now seems so nearly in sight. About 2,500 delegates were in attendance on the meeting, all of the delegates, irrespective of state, apresented, except the extreme western states which have marketed their cotton. Mr. E. D. Smith of this state, addressed the convention, and as might have been expected he received quite an ovation. Mr. White says that the delegates, irerspective of state, applauded the eloquent son of South Carolina and expressed a desire to have him labor in their states Mr. J. F. Leaptrott, who has served as director of the Springstein band for the past ten months, has tendered his resignation, the same to go into effect today. The band will secure the services of some other professional musician as soon as possible. This organization Is now in splendid condition In every respect, and the out-| look is extremely bright..-. .The in-1 fant daughter of Mr. Patterson Quin- | ton, an operative in the Springstein mill, was very seriously burned at her parents' home last Wednesday afternoon. She was seated in a rocking chair by the fire in company with two brothers, both small boys. These little boys began to play and in their gambols knocked the child out of her chair into the fire. The little girl was fearfully burned in the flames and in addition to the burns thus received she was badly scalded by the contents of a vessel which happened to be on the fire. Dr. H. E. McConnell was called in and dressed the burns. The child is reported as considerably improved, and she will probably recover. Mrs. J. R. Boulware, with her three children of Lenoir, passed through this morning on her return from a visit of a few weeks with relatives in Rock Hill. She and her two boys took measles the next day after reaching Rock Hill and the little girl and several members of the family she was visiting, took the disease from them and the pleasure of her visit was very much marred At the congregational meeting at the Presbyterian church Sabbath morning, It was decided to extend a call to Rev. Geo. H. Cornelson, pastor of the First Presbyterian church at Concord, N. C. A commission consisting of Messrs. J. R. Alexander. E. P. Moore, Wm. McKlnnell, M. S. Lewis and R. G. McAliley went to Concord yesterday morning for the purpose of placing the call In Mr. Cornelson's hands. They returned to the city last night announcing that Mr. Cornelson will think over the matter and make public his decision in a few days. GASTON. Gastonia Gazette, January 16: The Etude Music club held Its regular semi-monthly meeting at the residence of Mrs. B. T. Morris Friday night. Upon entering the room the members of the club were confronted with a large drawing of a large shoe and another of a man, which anounced the subject for the meeting, "Schuman." The program consisted of Schuman, rendered by Misses Gertrude Fogle, Hazel Robinson and Mrs. Morris, an instrumental duet by Misses Violet Rankin and Geane Robinson and a paper on the composer's life by Miss Mary Lewis. After the nroeram was concluded, cards bear ing the name of Schuman were distributed and each one present was requested to make as many words as they could by using the letters in the same. After the contest ended, it was found that Misses Gertrude Fogle and Lula Whitesides had each made thirty words and after cutting for the prize (a pen sketch of Schuman by a member of the club), Miss Gertrude Fogle was the winner. The meeting was altogether a most enjoyable one and proved to be both interesting and instructive Mr. Lester Rupp, twenty-four years old. died at the Loray Sunday afternoon of consumption and was burled yesterday at the Loray cemetery. Rev. J. W. Downum conducted the funeral services At the business meeting of the Epworth league in the League room Friday night, the following officers were reelected: Miss Carrie Morris, president; Miss Delia Nolen, 1st vice president and chairman of devotional department: Mr. J. A. Glenn, 2nd vice president and chairman of charity and help department; Mr. C. A. Eury, 3rd vice president and chairman of literary department; Miss Lowry Shuford. secretary and treasurer A number of young people met Saturday night with Misses Carrie and Jane Morris and perfected the organization of a circle for the study of English literature, history, logic and psychology. A regular course of study has been mapped out by Mr. J. H. Separk. who is to be one of the instructors of the circle, and regular meetings will be held on Tuesday nights. Miss Elise Stokes was chosen leader of the circle and will have charge of the circle. The members of the circle are Misses Elise Stokes. Carrie and Jane Xorris and Annie Williams and Messrs. R. J.

"Yes." said the veteran. "Where's your money now?" I "Why I left the post and crossed the ferry with $15.50. I met a friend, and we had dinner. The bill was $8.00. Then I bought $1.00 worth of cigars; then we went to the theatre for $4.00. After theatre we went down to the Bowery and I spent $2.00 there." "That makes $15.00." said the general. "What became of the other fifty cents?" The old soldier seemed puzzled, and finally said: "Why I must have spent that foolishly."?Ex. HISTORY OF SOI From the First Settle the Rev< It.V REV. HOBER J From the Yorkville Enquirer of 1876. INSTALLMENT VI. Founding of Charleston. Captain Halstead brought lnstruc -41-- AW ? tions lO me governor respevuug mc Colonial parliament. These Instructions are addressed to Governor Sayle. This shows that the death of the governor was not on the 1st of May, 1671, known to the proprietors; but since the location of the colony was known we may infer that Captain Bairne removed the colonists from Port Royal to Ashley river and having landed them, returned to England. The governor was required, within thirty days after receiving the instructions, to summon the freeholders of the plantations and require them to elect twenty men who. together with the deputies of the proprietors were for the present to be the parliament of the colony. These, or the majority of them, were to make such laws as might be necessary for the prosperity of the colony. The parliament was to meet every two years, on the first of November. The first thing the parliament was required to do on assembling, was to choose five men whom they might think fittest to act in concert with the five deputies of the proprietors, and who with the five oldest of the nobility were to constitute the grand council. On the 25th of August, 1671, Thomas Gray, Maurice Matthews, Henry Hughes, Christopher I onH T?olr*Vl Morflhflll WPTP chosen. Joseph Dalton was chosen secretary of the Province and Thomas Thompson, marshal. The militia was put under the command of Captain Thomas Gray and Capt. John Godfrey. They were now put Into working order. Governor West was a man of energy. The work of laying out and ( fortifying the town, which, in honor i of Charles the Second had been named Charles Town, progressed rapidly. ( The works were finished in May, 1672, i and Stephen Bull was put In command with the titles of master of ord- ( nance and captain of the fort of i "Charles Town." A constant watch < was kept by the citizens. No night | was permitted to pass without a pa- < trollng party being sent out. The In- i habitants of the town were required ( to do duty twice as often as those who , were settled on farms in the country. ] The Grand Council, with Governor , West for Its chairman, met frequent- ] ly?once every week and frequently ) oftener when necessity required It. \ The first meeting of which we have | any notice, took place three days af- ( ter the organization or on the 28th j of August, 1671. The first matter i 41 * *? m Uo flfton. 4 inai stems iu nave mciucu no oiwu i tion was the form of oath to be ad- , ministered to each member of the council. One of the clauses of the j oath bound each member of the coun- j cil to "doe equall right to the rich i and poore." Each member of the j council was required to swear as follows: "You shall not give or be of councill for favor or affection, in any difference or quarrell depending before you: but in all things demeane and behave yourself as to equity and Justice appertains." The first item of businss proper that came up before the council, was a petition from John Newton and Originall Jackson against Maurice Matthews, a member of the council and others. The difficulty, If such it ; really was, seems to have been about seventeen pieces of cedar timber. It ; may be thought strange that men in an almost unbroken forest would have any sort of difficulty about a few sticks of "cedar timber," or would I ever have thought of petitioning a dignified council about such a thing. It must be remembered that at that time cedar was regarded as the most valuable of timbers. It was highly prized for making boxes, chests and drawers. It was then supposed that it was a perfect preventive against moths.. The case of John Newton and Originall Jackson against Maurice Matthews and others was thus disposed of: "It is ordered that the petitioner doe appeare before the governor and council upon Saturday, the ninth day of September next, peremptorily, to prosecute the said complaint against the defendants." On the day appointed (Sept. 9, 1671), the council met and made this decision: "Upon hearing the matter of the petition of John Newton and Originall Jackson against Mr. Maurice Matthews, Mr. Thomas Gray and Mr. William Owen ?both parties having referred them selves to the determination of the governour and council?that the said John Newton and Originall Jackson shall have the sixteen pieces of cedar timber desired, and one piece of cedar timber more claymned by the said Mr. Maurice Matthews, Mr. Thomas Gray and Mr. William Owen, &c." These old documents possess an interest in themselves and they possess an interest on account of the time In which they originated. The English language as will be readily perceived by the spelling of several words, has undergone great changes. When the petition of John Newton and Originall Jackson was read before the Grand Council. South Carolina was less than two years old. In November of the same year (1671) Henry Hughes appeared before the Grand Council and made his complaint on the behalf of our Sovereign Lord, the King, against Thomas Screman. upon the ? of October, 1671. at Charles Town, this province, did feloniously take and carry away from the said Henry Hughes, one turkey cock of the price of tenn pence of lawful English money, contrary to the peace of the sovereign Lord, the King, his crowne." This was a complicated case. Thomas Screman, from the fact that the title "cent" is given him, was a man of some position among the colonists. Two other individuals, Thomas Oldys and CaptainLieut. Robert Donne?were connected with Screman in this offense. Donne in some way assisted Screman to steal the turkey, and Oldys assisted him to conceal it. Since Donne was an officer and Screman a gentleman, It is probable that this turkey was "feloniously taken and carried away" In the same spirit that boys of good birth and irreproachable characters at home, sometimes while at college, make raids upon hen roosts. Be this as it may, the council thought It a UTII CAROLINA. ment to the Close of nlnHon. r LATHAN, T>. D. grave offense. It was ordered that Screman be stripped to the waist, inflict upon him nine lashes with a whip prepared for the purpose. It was also ordered that in December, Captain Donne, in full uniform, appear at the head of the company, and that his sword be taken away from him by the marshal, and he be further required to give security for his good behavior in future, or otherwise to remain in the custody of the marshal. No doubt this was the first case of the kind that came before the council, and the punishment was well calculated to make it the last. The Grand Council possessed almost unlimited powers, but at first it acted in such a way as to secure peace and prosperity. The people obeyed with promptness, all its orders, and the result was that the colony was soon placed in a condition of comparative security. Those who in any way conducted themselves so as to be detrimental to the common gooa, were punisneu severely, laiers were regarded as nuisances. No Individual was allowed any assistance from the public store who did not have two acres of corn or peas planted for every member of his family. The whole colony was a well organized military post. Every individual was required to be ready at a moment's warning to meet any foe that might assail the settlement. The gunsmith, Thomas Ashcraft, was required by the Grand Council to keep the guns In complete repair. In fact, every man, woman and child was required to do something to produce supplies for the colony. We cannot better show the state of things In the colony during the first two years, than by quoting a part of an ordinance passed by the Grand Council at its meeting on Feb. 10th, 1672: "It is further advised, ordered and ordayned by the Grand Council, that no person or persons whatsover (except before excepted) shall have any benefit of the Lords Proprietors' 3tores who shall not have two acres of land at least, well and sufficiently planted with corne, pease or both, for every person in his or her family and the same to be well cultivated till the gathering of the next crop. And If any person or person (except before excepted) during this crop doe or shall loyter or slothfully spend his, her or their time, or doe exercise or follow anw worke, labour or imployment, not hereby allowed, or not especially directed by the Grand Council, such person or persons soe offending, upon notice thereof given, " 1 J I 3 sxiu.il ut? uiapuscu unu cuiiuuiikcu iu the care and charge of such Industrious planter as the Grand Council shall fudge convenient for the better raising of provisions and their present maintainance as aforesaid." Carpenters and smiths were allowed permission to labor at their trade. These are the classes of individuals meant by the words "except before excepted" in parenthesis. We cannot but admire the wisdom which was thus displayed in providing for the general welfare of the colony Had there been no controlling power exercised over the whole, the colony must have perished. Sickness, hunger and the Indians would have swept It away in a short time. The name of Joseph West is inseparably connected with the first settlement of South Carolina. He was appointed, as we have seen, by the proprietors, commander of the fleet Which was to transport the first settlers to the state; and on landing he was to have sole charge of the commissary department and the plantation on which the proprietors designed making experiments. On the death of Sayle he became governor. How, or by what authority, it is not known. Probably Sayle and the council before the death of Sayle, made arrangements to the effect that West was, in the event of Sayle's death, to become governor until further instructions were received from the proprietors. Sayle made his will on the 13th of September, 1671, and sometime between that date and the 10th of April, 1672, West became governor. Never was man better fitted for a position than Colonel Joseph West was for that of governor of an infant colony. He was energetic, prudent and foresighted. rv- 1 ? t _ ~ Cn?rlA I l/ii uetiriiig ui iiicr ucttiu \jl uajic, | the proprietors appointed John Yeamans, governor. This was on the 21st of August, 1671; but neither Yeamans, it would seem, nor the colonists heard of It until some time af-j terward. Sir John Yeamans was the] son of Robert Yeamans, who lost his life and estate on account of his faithfulness to the roval familv of] England. At the period that the charter for planting a colony in Carolina was obtained, John Yeamans was residing in Barbadoes. He had gone thither to repair his ruined fortune. He was appointed governor of the Clarendon colony, with a grant of a large tract of land. The king also conferred upon him the title of baronet. He was made governor of Clarendon colony?which extended In the language of the times "from Cape Fear to the river Saint Matheo"?in the month of January, 1665, and landed in the autumn of the same year, with a colony from Barbadoes, on the southern bank of the Cape Fear river, in the present state of North Carolina. He remained as governor of that colony for four years, and then returned to Barbadoes. His management of the colony at Cape Fear was highly creditable to himself and satisfactory to both the people under his care, and the proprietors. He ruled with the affection of a father. rather than with the authority of U governor. \_M1 it-ai mug mm a. tuiuny was planted at Ashley river?Influenced by the same desire which, at first, directed his course to Barbacloes?he set out for that point. He obtained land grants and brought with him. in 1671, from Barbadoes, a number of negroes to cut lumber and work his plantation. These were the first negroes ever brought to the state. On the Nth of December, 1671, he appeared before the Grand Council and declared that since he was the only landgrave in the province and in accordance with the Fundamental Constitutions, and also in accordance with instructions contained In a letter from the lords proprietors to him. he was vice palatine and formally demanded the government of Ashley colony to be placed in his hands. The council, without a dissenting voice, resolved that Joseph West should remain governor of the province until further orders and instructions were received from the proprietors. Cut tc the heart by this plain dealing of the Grand Council, Yeamans returned te Barbadoes, but shortly afterward he received a commission as governor ol Carolina, south and west of Cape Carteret, at present called Cape Fear. Or the 19th of April, 1672, Yeamans was publicly proclaimed governor. H< continued governor until 1674, wher he was removed and West again appointed.

Vindication The Mutual Benefit Life was organized in 1845 for the express purpose of furnishing Life Insurance, pure and simple, to its members at the lowest cost consistent with safety. "A square deal" for every member has always been the Mutual Benefit watchword. The management has always been conservative and economical. It started out with the purpose of paying ail profits to the members annually, and notwithstanding the fact that for years practically every other company In business has been advocating the plan of allowing dividends or profits to "accumulate" until the end of from 5 to 20 years, and to be forfeited to the company if the assured died before the "end of the period," and paying agents extravagant commissions to sell this kind of insurance to a gullable public, the Mutual Benefit has adhered strictly to its foundation principles and gone on paying small commissions to agents, as compared to other companies, and paying dividends annually, and as a result no company in the world has done as well by all Its policy i holders, and during the recent lnsur- i ance investigation in New York it was < held up to the world as proving the contention that Insurance In the companies under investigation had cost the policy holders too much, and last week a member of the South Carolina legislature Introduced a bill providing that none except companies that paid dividends annually be allow- 1 ed to do business in the state. Would you prefer trusting the future of your wife and children or your own old age ] In the hands of a company that has a j record extending back 61 years and without spot or blemish, or would you Ignore those facts and insure in a company that has no record worth mentioning or one whose record is as spot1 ted as a leopard, and is possibly only "being good" for the time being be- j cause the eyes of the public are on it?
