Col. J. L. M. Irby has attempted to make political capital out of the fact of the sale of the eight shares of the stock in the Peoples’ Loan and Ex change Bank of Laurens, standing in his name, but not paid for. In a letter to the LaurensviHe Herald Senator Irby says: ^ “The farmers we-e unsuccessful in the production of cotton—both in t >rice and quantity. Gratitude, at east, should have prompted a busi ness based upon kindness and charity, but to my surprise I dud that the banks of this County are forgetful of past patronage and are now extorting the last cent, that common decency will allow, outoi the farmers on the loan of money. Money is as plentiful and as cheap to these banks now as it was in 1891. Then they cleared 9 per cent, interest. Now, when they see our people in a helpless and impov- ished condition, they force them to pay 1 per cent, per month discount; and do it as if they were conferring a great, favor upon the borrower." I have always opposed such financial schemes and usury, I am more op posed to it now than ever. I am a stockholder in one of these banks. I condemn the practice, and will not be a party with the shyiocks to indi rectly rob the people. Two weeks ago 1 gave them notice that I would sell my Wank stock, and asked the cashier of the bank to sell it. I intend to sell it, and this explanation is made lest some enemy of mine will charge me with being a party to what I conceive to be a moral crime.” Now, the plain facts of this case are as follows: In the the full of 1890 the People’s Loan and Exchange Bank increased its capital and Senator Irby sub scribed for eight shares, giving his note in payment. The note was at tached to the stock and the bank held both. The note lias long since ma tured and no payment hrs been made upon it. About Christmas time Sen ator Irby requested the bank to sell his stock and a sale was virtually ef fected, though no actual transfer was made before the publication of Sena tor Irby’s card. From these facts it is evident that while the stock stood nominally in Mr. Irby’s name, lie never really owned it, for he had never paid for it. and therefore the bank, after holding Ids unpaid note for over a i ear, final ly sold the stock, (at the request of Col. Irby,) to close the transaction over three months ago. Tiiis pretense of virtue on the part of Mr. Irby •nded lij injure Gov. Sheppard. The Prospects lor Cotton Planting. Messrs. Riordan & Co., cotton bro kers of New York, say in their cir cular of the 28th ult.: “Few now believe that the cotton crop of 1891 will be much, if any. be low 9.000,000 bales, and all eyes are turned to the new' crop. In reply to inquiries shrewd and trustworthy cor respondents in the cotton States send us a mass of very interesting infor mation bearing upon the planting outlook. The conclusions we gather from their replies are: (1.) Tliat the farmers have had a much better and earlier start and that plantation work is generally in a more advanced con dition than at this date last year. (2>) That there is an abundance of labor and at cheaper rates than hitherto. (3.) That the supply of work animals is ample for all requirements, the de creased purchases of mules this year being mainly due to the fact that the farms w’eie fully stocked last spring, when the purchases of mules were the largest on record. (4.) That, taking the South as a whole, there will be no material reduction in acreage. (5.) That much less fertilizers will be used, which ought to reduce the yield in the Southwest. Mass Meeting ot Baptists Called. To the pastors and churches of the Ai ken and Edisto Associations along S. C. Midland R. R., convenient to the town of Sally, on said railroad. Dear Brothers: In view of the work before us and the general move by our great denomination along the the lines of special mission claims, A. D. 1892, which marks with us the centenary of modern foreign missions and that we may prove abreast in this great movement, I call upon you to meet with us through competent rep resentation in the Baptist church at Sally at 10 a. in. the third Sunday in April, in mass meeting to consult and devise the most effective plans by which our church may be most suc cessfully reached in this great centen- tennial movement. A suitable pro gram will be arranged for the day. J. A. Bell. • Militia Appropriations. Adjt. Gen. Kelton has furnished the committee on military affairs with a statement showing the appro priations for the militia by the States and by the United States, from which the following relative to Soutli Caro lina is taken: Number of organized militia 5,G16, annual appropriation by the State $10,000 a mount U. S. appro priation $8,292.87, number of rifles is sued to the State since July 1, 1887, 1,087, carbines 140. Rebuilding the Citadel. is The Abbeville Medium saysr claim of the malcontents that they are for peace and unity reminds us of the fellow who said he was hell-bent on getting to heaven.” Which reminds us of“the fellow” whose arm Gov. Tillman took at his inauguration, who was “beil-bent”on getting an office from the Radical party in 1871. The same who has since then presumed to preach Democ racy to the life-long Democrats of South Carolina. Tragedy at Sand Bar Ferry. Mr Abram Asher, one of the most prominent Jewish citizens of Augus ta intentionally shot himself in the head Tuesday afternoon at 3 o’cleck, down at Sand Bar Ferry, three miles below the city. For several days Mr. Asher had act ed strangely, and his strange conver sation gave his wife apprehension as to his sanity. Tuesday morning he left Augusta in a road cart, and drove oyer to Beech Island to collect some old accounts due him. In returning to the city, just after crossing the riv er and landing on Sand Bar Ferry, he got out of the road cart and shot him self on the right temple, the ball com ing out on the opposite side of the head. The report of the pistol attracted the attention of several persons who were crossihg the ferry, and they re turned and found the wounded man lying in the road, dying. He was taken to the city and car ried to his room in the Augusta Hotel where he died a few minutes after mid-night. Mr. Asher was nearly fifty years old, and was a wealthy man up to few years ago, when he met with severe business loses. He was a brave Con federate soldier, and his suicide was a great supprise. He was a member of nearly every secret organization in Augusta, and the insurance on his life amounts to $11,000. Berkeley's Mad Foxes. Isaiah Smith, a negro boy 15 years of age, died at the hospital in Char leston on Friday of hydrophobia, brought on by the bite of a mad fox. The hospital authorities were very re ticent about the matter, declining to give any information to the press. The tody was sent back to Monck’s Corner, in the vicinity of which the boy was bitten and, from there details of the tragedy were learned. For more than two years past there have been periodical frights in the forests of Berkeley County, especial ly in the neighb rhood of Ten Mile Hill, caused by the strange stories told by negroe% about that section. On several occasions authenticated cases of people having been attacked have been published but this is the first case in which a human being has been bitten by one of the mad foxes and is also the first fatal case known to have occurred. The boy was at tacked by a mad fox about three weeks ago, while going through the woods. He was attended by a local physician but the wound did not seem to heal and signs of rabies made themselves manifest. The boy was accordingly brought to Charleston and placed in the city hospital for treatment. However medical science was of no avail and soon it became apparent that the patient was in the thoes ot hydrophobia He lingered for a while and died from the effects of the bite. There is no doubt of his death resulting from hydrophobia. The rebuilding of the burnt build ing of the' Citadel Academy, under di rection of Contractor Oliver, will be commenced at once. The insurance companies will, it is reported, under take to put the structure in its former condition for the sum of $16,000. Trial Docket for April Term of Court. Monday, April 18th.

While the fight against the railroads is going on and their assessments are being increased the business of the roads is showing a terrible falling off* The majority of the railroads In the State have "already reported their earnings for the month of February, and the statement shows that only two roads in the State show as good business as for the same month last year. These are the Chester and Lenoir and the Cheraw and Chester roads. It is quite probable that the next important case which will have to be taken in charge by Attorney General McLauriu will be~ against defaulting poll taxpayers. The poll tax execu tions are now being made out, and when they are pushed the cases will no doubt be contested and eventually come up before the Supreme Court. There are, it is understood, over 3,000 delinquents in Charleston County alone. The Augusta Woman’s Exchange has removed to the Dyer building. The restaurant will be opened on April 5. Now that the Exchange has been moved to a desirable place on Broad street a largely increased pat ronage should be given this worthy institution which is rioted for the ex cellent qualities of the oysters served there. The Republicans of the Second District of South Carolina held their convention at Allendale last Satur day, and elected S. E. Smith and Parish Simpkins delegates to the Na- al Convention, and W. S. Dickson and Phil H. Riley alternates. All colored. When Baby was sick, we gave her Castorfs. When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria. When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria.
