YE AR_. $1 50 'SIX MONTHS. 75 TUESDAY'S MASS MEETING. answer to the call for a mass meet of-Democrats who desired a reform our present- .government, a body of presentative citizens of tbe County met the Court House on Tuesday morning discuss the situation and to elect dele to represent the Connty in the Co ibla Convention on Thursday of this A. J. Sitton, of Pendleton, was cted Chairman, and Messrs. C. C. gston and R. R. Todd were elected cretaries of the meeting. On taking chair Mr. Sitton discussed the pur e which bad called the assemblage ither, and then reqnested Maj. E. B urrray to further review the cause for ich the meeting was called, laj. Murray spoke at length of the ad taistration of Gov. Tillman, directing ntion to tbe promises made by him,, d his utter failure to fulfill them ; to deceits of which he has been guilty, d especially to the disastrous condition to which he has driven tbe finances of e State. As an illustration, he cited the t that prior to Tollman's adminisitra Sonth Carolina bonds commanded a r?ium of over two per cent., or sold over 102, while they had fallen from to 93, which means that they are now rth $7.00 below par, whereas they were rth $2.00 above par before Tillman se possession of the government, moz Tillman came into office with \promiso of giving prosperity to the le, and he had made ptedge after je, none of which he had kept, meeting, he said, had been called to lect delegates to a convention which eets ici Columbia on Thursday. Those haci signed the call for the Conven a had the good of the people at heart, d would make the fight inside the party es. It would not do to break the ocratie ranks. In his campaign Mr. Roan hadjtime and again attaoked the to Governmen t, and said any officer c would accept a free pass from a rail was corrupt Now, judge Mr. Icq an by his sayings. He was the i officer, as soon as his administration into power, to accept a free pass and it. Mr. Tillman, the speaker pro ed, was not in sympathy with the mcnon people, and cited many ins tan in his official career to prove the as ertion. The present Administration had the credit of the State and the it of her citizens. He referred to the on now going on, and spoke of the wer that Tillman wanted the Legisla > to give him. Tillman, he said, was Democrat?Democracy is a principle d not a name. The Governor had call tho tanners' Legislature "driftwood" use that body would not do as he anted them. This remark of tbe Gov or had amused him (the speaker), for all streams the driftwood had floated u the highest places, and as Gov. T?l? au had secured the highest position in e State he must be tbe rottenest ;? of that driftwood. This was an cultural country, Mr. Murray said, d nothing should be done to injure the icultural interests. The present Ad oistration had been in power two and he challenged any man to ow one law it had passed to aid the 'armer. The speaker said he was op ised to the ring rule or one-man power. ? favored a direct primary, which ould bring peace and unity to the party, j then read an article from the Jour 1 of Finance, the leading financial pa of America, which showed how our e government was looked upon by be outside world. Maj. Murray's speech was frequently lauded. At the conclusion of his e vociferous cry of "Orr," rr," rent the air, and when Col. Orr iu response to this call he was ted with a perfect storm of applause d shouts. We can give but an imper account of Col. Orr's speech. We Ish we could present it ver batim for the nsideration of the voters of Anderson, it was a plain, logical arraignment of -governor and an administration that brought discredit upon the State, and created bitter animosities among our e. ?' We are not here for child's play, nor y to make i& demonstration," said speaker, as the applause subsided, t we are hero to work for the peace d prosperity of the State, and to save er from discord and financial disgrace." The Colonel continued by saying tbat t~was the duty of every citizen to strive bring about a better government than i now have, and unless we do this we ill surely go to wreck and ruin. Gov. Tillman rose into office by vitu eration and slander, by arraying friend iust friend, class 'against class and mm unity again 3t community. He could discuss Gov. Tillmau and his ministration without bitterness. He new the Governor well. They worked ?together as members of the Board of Krirastoea of Clean -on College. He knew hat he was saying when he affirmed at Tillmau was not a capable business Ean. He was sure tbe Governor was endly to that College, yet he foolishly rt into trouble with the purchasers of e Agricultural Hall iu Columbia be Kause he was offered worthless bonds in Bravment of the purchase money of that pj'nildlng, which money was to be applied the work on Clemson. Instead of J^imply refusing to accept what was not a .6231 tender, and suing on the bond and mortgage when; payments fell due, if the urchasers still refused to comply with ?he terms, he hastily took possession of e . building, placed an armed guard ere and declared the trade "off." What the result ? The money which was to to Clemson is locked up awaiting the ult of litigation into v hich the State forced by his unbusin?ss-like action, has put into Court the question of the dity of the Blue Ridge Scrip, which State bas heretofore kept out of the arts, and not a lick of work is being uck on Clemson College, and will not until this case is settled, [n 1888 the speaker attended a Con Utting Columbia, and there, worked a primary direct ior State Capt. Tillman was there, r tbe samo cause, and de? ed tETt his duty from then for would be to press upon the Demoo the necessity of a direct primary Governor to Coroner. How has ho as to this matter since he was made fvernor? He and his associates have tively denied *- direct primary to the ,plo. and it seems they will continue so. r. Tillman has sought to control not tbe executive department of the ment, but has tried tc bend to his 9 legislative and judicial depart ts likewise. He made an unmanly 5i on Judgo Wallace iu his message ^je General Assembly because tbat red officer dared to do his duty, duty dictated to him that he should a case adversely to the ideas en ed by the Chief Executive. When <jiciary becomes subservient to the said tlja speakejr, we will 1? in a fair way to go to ruin and destruc? tion. He derided bis Legislature, calling them driftwood, etc. He did this bo cause they had the independence to resist his demands and to think for themselves. He has involved the State in more law suits than she had been in since the first English settlement was made in this country. He has forced a suit between the State and nearly every bank in the State?perhaps all?and between the State and the railroads. In all of these suits the State has lost, or would almost surely lose. He brought on the Coosaw litiga? tion, but by bad management of tbe case the State has been deprived of ?125,000 per annum of revenue from this Compa? ny pending litigation. The State was fairly entitled to this Coosaw property, said Col. Orr, but she could have gotten possession of it without tbe sacrifice of ?125,000, and that, too, in a hard year, when money was so much needed. This showed the incapacity of Gov. Tillman to control the affairs of the State. We have tried Gov. Tillmau and find him an utter failure. We have weighed him in the balance and found him want? ing. Col. Orr referred to the deception Gov. Tillman practiced on the tax-payers by refusing to sign the resolution extending tho time for paying taxes, and yet had not paid his own tax a month after that time had expired. This was not of much importance, but showed the character of the man. B'e condemned the acceptance of free passes by others as indicative of corrnption, but did not refuse one when tendered him. You know, said Col. Orr, how Capt. Tillman censured the Governors of our State for exercising the pardoning power Gov. Tillman has pardoned more crimi? nals, proportionately for the time he has been Governor, than any Governor we had since 1876, only one excepted. The impaired credit c" our State was spoken of, and the cause given was the hostility of tho present government to capital and to corporations representing capital, and the evident disposition of the administration to discriminate against one kind of property in favor of others. This is only a meagre account of Col, Orr's speech. It gives to some extent the line of argument used. The speech was listened to with the closest interest by the large crowd present?all of whom could not find sitting room and was fre? quently interrupted with protracted ap? plause and shouting. When Col. Orr sat down, it was an? nounced that a Mr. Merriwether, an Edgefield man who li-ed near where Gov. Tillman lived in Edgefield, was present, and he was called for. Mr. Mer riwether came forward and said he had traveled much in Edgefield, and had talked to the people, and knew Gov. Till? man was losing ground!. He said: "If the Democracy will run a good man they will all vote for him against Tillman." Later on in the meeting Mr. Merriwether stated that he had rode day and night in '76 to redeem the State, and was willing to do so again, for he believed she was nearly as bad off now as then. [Lacgbter and applause.] Capt. G. W. Sullivan, of Williamston, stated that there was present a gentleman who had been a delegate to the March Convention in 1890. He would like to hear from him. He referred to the Rev. D. W. Hiott. Mr. Hiott came forward and said he had been in sympathy with the leading principles of the Farmer's movement and was yet. He had gone to the March Convention in '90 hoping to do some godd. He then believed the men who called that Convention were working for the best interests of tbe country at large. However, he had not been long in Columbia until he discovered that the Tillman-Irby-Shell movement meant the putting of good men out of office and the putting of bad men in. He knew at tbe first caucus they held that the object was to make Tillman Governor, Irby Senator, etc. He opposed nominations in the Convention and came home deter? mined to work against Tillman and his set, for he could see they were men who did not have the good of the people at heart. He was now ready to lend his best efforts for tbe success of the move? ment against that regime. Mr. Hiott made a ringing speech, and once referred to that grand old man, Wade Hampton, and the mention of tbe name raised tremendous applause, and we are told that tho allusion to this old hero brought tears to the eyes of some old.soldiers present. Mr. Hiott's closing sentence was: "Give us James L. Orr and a primary," and the effect was electrical. Shouts, clapping, stamping the floor and the waving of hats attested the fact that the eloquent speaker's peroration had struck the key note of tbe Situation, and that the people, too, wanted J. L. Orr and a pri? mary. On motion, the meeting pro ceded to the election of delegates to the Convention in Columbia. The following gentlemen were nominated and unanimously elect? ed : E. B. Murray, D. W. Hiott, G. W. Sullivan, John T. Green, B. F. Crayton, P. B. Allen, Warren J. Martin, N. O. Farmer, T. L. Clinkscales, sr., G. W. McGee, C. E. Harper and W. F. Lee. On motion, each delegate, in case he could not attend the Convention, was given the privilege of naming his alter? nate, and if the delegate failed to do this, the whole delegation were authorized to fill the vacancy. At this juncture Mr. M. E. Mitchell of? fered the following preamble and resolu? tions, which were unanimously adopted: Whereas, we feel the necessity for a change in our State government which will restore harmony and confidence among our people and recognize the ob? ligation that rests upon the citizens of this State to control the government in the interest of all of the people, There? fore be it Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that the administration nf our State government has been injurious to the best interest of South Carolina, and should be changed. Resolved, That Governor Tillmap has failed to carry out many of his promises made in the last campaign, and by ar? raying class against class, and dividing our people into factions has injured the material prosperity of our State and im Eaired confidence in our people both at ome and abroad. Resolved, That we insist upon the nomination of our next candidates for State officers by a direct primary election, to be held by the Democratic Clubs in this State, in which every Democrat may vote and be given his full share of indi? vidual influence and rjsponsibility for the selection of Democratic candidates. On motion, tho delegates elected to the State meeting were requested to act as an Executive Committee until other arv rangemonta were made or until another meeting was called. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned. The meeting can truly be said to have been a very enthusiastic and representa? tive one. There were at least four hun? dred citizens present, every section of the County being ropresented, and the best of feeling and utmost harmony pre? vailed. In his letter to Mr. Edwards. Bragg, of Wisconsin, Mr. Cleveland does not de? clare himself a candidate, nor does ho de? clare that he will not be a candidate if asked to be by those who alone have the right and doty of asking. He says in ef? fect that it is the business of the people to setect Presidential candidates and that he has not yet been selected. This is the only sensible way to look at it. He can? not afford either to seek or refuse the nomination. If the party needs him It has the right to call him, and if it needs someone else more it has the same right to select someone else. .Some cotton experts say that unless the movement from now until September 1st Bhall show a sharp falling off, tho present crop must exceed 9.000,000 bales. Far? mers should bear that in mind when they figure on the acreage this year. The Nowborry Observer says that if every voter had the manhood and inde? pendence that a frecborn American citi? zen ought to have tho leaders who caucus together and issue orders to the rank and file how to vote would soon hear some? thing drop. Hon. George Jdhnstone, our Represen? tative in Congress, has introduced a Hill which is apt to attract considerable atten? tion, says the Washington correspondent of the News aud Courier. It provides for the redemption of tbe bonded debt of the Government and tho enlargement of the volume of the currency. It directs tho Secretary of tho Treasury to purchaso from time to time the outstanding bonds due by the Government at a sum not greater than their rrsrket value. It also provides that at each purchase of bonds he shall replace the amount extended by issuing notes of the Government of like denominations as the treasury notes now issued and in circulation. It also directs the Secretary of tho Treasur3' to coin all gold and silver bullion which now is or shall hereafter come into tbo possession of the Government, which coin shall be held for the redemption of tho treasury notes so issued. The World's Fair. Columoia, S. C, March lb*, 1892. To the People of South Carolina; As a result of the call from the Columbia Board of Trade for a World's Fair Con? vention, the work oi securing an exhibit for South Carolina at the World's Colum? bian Exposition, has been inaugurated. The Board of Managers elected by the Convention have systematical!}' mapped out the State work, dividing it into sub, County and Township Committees. They are sangnine of the success of the under? taking, but appreciate its magnitude and the difficulties which they will have to encounter, and feel their inability to car? ry forward the work without the hearty support' of the citizens of the State at large. By a combination of forces great undertakings assume minimum propor? tions, and difficulties that seem insur? mountable when approached with a de? termination to overcome them disappear with miraculous rapidity. Feeling that every citizen of South Carolina should take a pride in the State's exhibit we appeal to you to aid us in this work. Do not think that you can be of no service, and therefore fail to do your part, but, be it great or small, do what you can to swell the grand aggregate to such co? lossal proportions that all may be proud of the display. Money is the main thing needed to in? sure success, and if every one who can aud will give only ?1 we will have no lack. But if you do not feel that you can contribute money, you may have some rare picture, some mechanical de? vice, some piece of your own handiwork, some relic of colonial times, some rare specimen of mineral, or some specimen of the taxidermist's art, all of which will be received with thanks by the commit? tee, and will be properly listed and re? turned to you when the Exposition is over. You can also aid by your words of cheer and encouragement. If you cannot praise the efforts of those who are work? ing with purely disinterested motives, do not cripple their efforts and dampen their ardor by adverse criticisms ana attempt to throw cold water upon the undertaking by saying it cannot be done. It can be done if every one would do all in their power to aid in the work. Other States are doing the same thing and shall we sit down contentedly and see South Caroli? na, who in days past has been a leader, relegated to the rear because her sons and daughters failed to bestir t hemselves? Shall she be made a reproach and a by? word amongst her fair sisters?the Origi? nal Thirteen ? We trow not. Her ac? tions in the past are a guarantee that she will not be left behind in the matter of tbe World's Columbian Exposition. The State Board is doing all in its pow? er for the success of tho undertaking, and we appeal for aid to your pockets, your pride and your ingenuity. Help us and thereby help yourselves. By order of the State Board of Mana? gers. Fred A. Sale, Secretary. Sweating Hold Coin. New York, March 12.?Several large banks in this oity, which do business with California, have been troubled of late with many light-weight twenty dol? lar gold-pieces which are found in almost every shipment of gold coins that come from that State. At first it was thought that the friction of tbe~coins against each other during the railway or steamship journey caused the loss of weight, but soon various suspicious features were no? ticed, which make it all but certain that the coins are subjected to a sweating pro? cess by eleotricity, which will extract as much as 75 cents on a dollar from each twenty-dollar gold piece, without materi? ally affecting the face ot the coin. Treas? ury experts nave seen so many such light weight coins during the past few weeks that they can now tell one almost imme? diately without goinir. to the trouble of weighing it. Several such twenty-dollar gold pieces that had come to tbe office of Zimmerman <fe Forsyth, No. 11, Wall Street, were ex? amined by a reporter to-day. Under a magnifying glass, one could see that the face of the coin had become somewhat blurred by a number of infinitisimal, pores, which covered tho whole face, while the edges were rounded or bevelled, as though by wear at some time. How? ever, the coins were so bright that they looked like new. It was also noticed that special care had been taken by the "sweaters" to select new coins, none of those tampered with dating further back than 1891. It is believed this fraud is be? ing practiced on a large scale in Califor? nia, probably by Chinese, who have the reputation of being the cleverest counter? feiters. In a recent shipment of 860,000 to one of the largest banks of tbe city, which does business with California, there were forty such under weight gold pieces. One dollar taken out of each twenty dollar piece means a good profit to bo gained by the simple process of suspend? ing tbe coin for a short time in an acid fluid charged with electricity, The "sweaters" naturally prefer to do this to large gold pieces, because moro cau be gained from each coin, and because most persons, especially in the Eastern States, are less familiar with these' particular coins, and therefore less able to detect fraud by the mere look and touch of the gold piece. The government is powerless, because in itself the practice of subjecting a gold piece to electrocalyBis, be it for gilding purposes or otherwise, is not a legal of? fense, so that even if a -sweater or band of sweaters were caught in their work? shops, it would be difficult to indict them. Tbe legal offense is only committed by tho man who passes tbe coin, and oven then the intention of fraud has to be ?roven, Nothing can be done, therefore, n the meanwhile, underweight double eagles keet> pouring in, to be returned again by tue Treasury, with tho defacing "L" sian.ped on them. A Sensational ''Grip" Story. ViCKsnuRO, Mrss., March J7,?Two cases of sudden blindness resulting from grip have occurred here recently, the suf? ferers being well-known persons. One, a lady, ha3 consultod the most eminent oculist in New Orleans, who unite in de? claring her case hopeless, and intimated that they wore ignorant of the causes that occasioned he* J03s of eight. The other is that of a boy, a son of a woij-kpflWh merchant, who was attacked by the dis? ease and lost his sight in a few hours. An operation promptly performed has partially relieved him, thqugh, as yet he can only distinguish light from darkness, / His phyaiciana have hopes of his recove? ry. His case began with a aevere chill, culminating in muscular rheumatism. The lady's symptoms were Bimilar, ex? cept that her limbs became gradually swollen and there was no rheumatism, In neither case are the eyes outwardly affect? ed. Several similar cases are reported among negroes, but not well authentica? ted, ? It is said that a factory in Michigan is now making underclothing from e wood fiber which is said to be equal in every respect that made from wool. ? In preparation for the next siege of Paris tue French war department has taken steps toward tho construction of an immense establishment in the city for the preservation of meat by freezing. Similar establishments on a smaller scale will be attached to the forts encir? cling the city. The cold air will be sup? plied to all from a central station oper? ated according to a new compressed; ail system. A CHALLENGE, JCdilori Intelligenter : There is so m uch written and spoken on Llie subject of the Tarilf, that T deem it a duty that I owe, not" only to my party, but to my native State, as a loyal citizen , one who is inter? ested in tbe welfare, growth and develop? ment of my County, to mako this propo? sition, viz:?That I will meet in joint do bate any gentleman in Anderson County, in the Court House, on tho subject of the Tarifi'. Ours is purely an agricultural State, and some of our newspapers, among others, The Peopled Advocate, continual? ly harp upon the iniquitous Tariff. This paper represents the farmers, and leads them to believo tbat one of the chief griov ances is tbe Tariff. The South, and more particularly South Carolina, has nover had presented, what I consider at this timo a very important economic question ?a question which, whether we will or not, we have to confront from this timo forward. Tbe diversifying of our indus? tries are imperative, as"the all cotton the? ory has of late proven so disastrous, not only to tho farmers, but to every man in this State, whatever may bo his occupa? tion or profession?I here and now make this prediction, That in the near future tho South Atlantic States, with their won? derful resources, will bo even more clam? orous for a protective Tariif than tho Eastern States, which have profited so much by this policy. Respectfully, W. W. RUSSELL. The Wife he Bought. Ciiattaxoooa, Texx., March IS.? The sequel of an Enoch Arden story with variations, is .just benix written in the form of a singular suit for damages. John Quiuby, a Union soldier, was badly wounded in tbe battle of Chickamauga, a few miles from here in 1803 and left in a temporary hospital in a Jog cabin on tho field. During his convalescence bo became enamored of a Confederate sup posed war widow, ono Mrs. Duoloy, and after his term of service expired be re? turned and married her. Fourteen years later her first husband made bis appear? ance. A compromise was effected, and Dooley for $28 in cash surrendered bis claim his wife and a cow. Qninby ac? cumulated considerable real estate which increase made valuable. A couple of years since be made to bis wife a deed of his land in what is now Chickamauga Park. Dooley in some way learned these facts, took legal advice, and was advised by an attorney that as the woman in the case was his (Dooley's) wife in law, the property in question was clearly his, and he has come back to enter suit for tbe land. Quinby will fight to tho end of the law for the woman he bought and tbe land be earned. A Peculiar Snlcide. Akron, 0., March IS.?Guy Clifton Wright, of this city, a traveling salesman entered a saloon here late last night and called for a glass of seltzer. He poured into it three drams of chloral hydrate and coolly stirred tbe mixture as he laughed and talked. Then he drank tbe deadly poison. Turning to tho proprie? tor he said, with consummate coolness : "I'll be doad in live minutes. I want one more. I'll shnke you dice for it.-' Thinking tbat Wright was joking, tbe saloonkeeper replied bantoringly : "I don't like to take chances with a dying man, but I'll go you." Tbe game began. Wright won the first 'horse" and tho saloon-keeper tho sec? ond. Tho latter smiled as he threw loar trays in the final round. Wright's first dash yielded a pair of fives, his sec I ond did not better them. Calmly he j tossed tbe dice tbe last time. "Four fives," said he, "I win," and placing his hands convulsively to his head he dropped to tho floor unconscious and died in a few minutes. His wife's desertion of him led to tho suicide. Worried the Snp. r*iiU0KS, Springfield, III., March IS.?Anoth? er phenomenal display in tho heavens attracted attention yostcnlay and added new terrors to the situation of the super? stitious. The sun was surrounded by a small halo, and on either side appeared a bright spot, or sutidog, while passing olear around tho heavens, and cutting the sun at an angle of perhaps 48 degrees from tbe point of vision, was a bright band, showing in marked contrast to the tbe hazy clouds with which the heavens were mottled. The brilliant display of Tuosday eve? ning and the curious appearance of the moon for some time past made up a se? ries of phenomena that are acknowledged by old sailors and plainsmeu to be un? precedented. The moon one evening this week had across its face in large clouds a pirfect figure of a cross. Last uight it was the centre of a bril? liant auroral band, which passed up? ward to tbe zenith and downward to tbe horizon. Superstitious people think tbat t^iese are tho signs that portend th9 speedy coining of tbe last great day. Over-Prodiictiou of Cotton, Washington, D. C, March 18.?The March report of tbe statistics of the De? partment of Agriculture, issued to-day, shows that the production of cotton of tbe world exceeded the consumption more than 1,500,000 bales in .1890, and further greatly enlarges the excess in 189], glut? ting tbe markets, increasing visible stocks during tbe past year more than 100,000 bales, and reducing the Liverpool price of middling upland from G l-16d in January, 1890, to 4 l-8d in January, 1892. It states tbat in two years this country has produced an excess above normal re? quirements of more than 2,000,000 bales, and indicates a heavy reduction in breadth as the only possible remedy; otherwiso the agriculture of the South will suffer worse than Western agriculture ever has. It declares that the cotton States must introduce new crops, as the agricultural population has outgrown the capacity of cotton to support it. Advertised for a Wife. Atlanta, March, 21.?R. T. Thomp? son, a member of tbe Atlanta police force, was married in Charlotte, X. C, to-day to Miss Lydia J. Henry, a twenty one-year old daughter of Mr. John Hen? ry, of Iredell Countj', X. C. It ap? pears that Policeman Thompson adver? tised for a wife. The Iredell young lady opened a correspondence with him. They exchanged photographs and all that sort ofthing, and arranged to meet each other at Charlotte today. Policeman Thompson arrived in Char? lotte on tbe morning train from Atlanta, and was at the depot when the train came in, watching out for bis girl. They bad never met, but as the passengers got out of the train, the people in the yard saw a good looking young lady rush up to a first-rate looking man and throw her? self into his arras. It was the first meet? ing of Thompson and Miss Henry. They hurried up town, secured the license and were married by Esquire Maxwell. Then they took the afternoon train and reached Atlanta to-night. They cared not for Men. Memphis, Tenn., March 7.?Another care of unnatural love, similar to tbe in? fatuation of Alice Mitchell for Freda Ward, has been discovered in this city. Addie Phillips and Minnie Hubbard are each seventeen yoars of age. On Sunday the two girls disappeared, and were not found for three days, Miss Phillips, on her return home, said she and Minnie bad been together, She told her mother that sho loved Minnie and would ratbor be dead than separated from hor. Sho furth? er said she cared nothing for tho society of men, and tbat Minnie was the only person she could marrjr, and this she in? tended to do as soon as she secured some money. Miss Phillips is a fine-looking girl, and has been carefully cduoatod. It was agreed to-day between tbe parents of the two girls to separate them, and when Miss Phillips hoard the result of tho council she was overcome with grief. How Much Does He Sue For 1 New Haven, Conn., March 17.?0. M. Chappell, a colored waiter, has consulted an attorney in regard to bringing suit against J, Deibol, a well-known caterer of this city, to recover a. mouth's salary, which ho claims is due him under the following contract, drawn on February 15: I, Charles M.

Contractor Orr, of this city has in his possession a very curious and valuable relic. In 1807 his grandfather John Orr, killed a buck in Transylvania county, N. C, on Dayidson river, and put the horns in the fork of a Spanish oak Sapling. The place became a kind of neighborhood 'and mark among the settlers, the ridge and deer stand there being given the name of "Buck Horn." The sapling be? came a largo tree and April 27th 1887? just eighty years after?was cut by Gidgeon Orr, The wood had grown around the horn placed in the tree by the hunter of the early part of the century and tho piece of tho tree cut out has the shaft of the horn inside of it and its points preforating the surface and con? stitutes the relic now here. The trunk at the place where the horn was imbed bed was about eighteen inches in diame? ter. The relic was a curious and valua blo reminder of tbo old time and of an interesting chapter of family history. Efforts have been made by museums to buy it, but Mr. Orr naturally prefers that it remain in his own keoping.? Greenville Neva. ? A brother takes us to task for the following sentence in a circular recently sent out: "Our help does not come from any other than God's own Presbyterian people. Once in a while a few others contribute, but it is these who own these houses that must provide for their in? mates." The sentence is a little involved and taken apart from our known and oft expressed views might misload. The thought we meant to express, was this It is the duty of Presbyterians to sup? port this (and other Piesbyterian) Or? phanages. It is not ttie duty of other de? nominations to do so, and as a matter of fact, scarce fifty dollars out of a thous? and for this institution comes from other than Presbyterian sources. But, dear Methodist brother, do not imagine for a moment that a Methodist dollar is either unwelcome or unappreciated. So far from it, there is a flavor of earnest broth erliness in such a gift, that goes right to the heart. We know that one-half of the orphans under our care were from other than Presbyterian families, but that does not alter the feeling we have, that wo had no right to expert gifts from other than Presbyterian sources. Wheu God's precious Methodist and Baptist and Epis? copalian people, give to help our or? phans, we are very glad aud gratoful. Still, we must urge the duty on Pres? byterians who own these buildings to support its inmates.?Our Monthly. Guaranteed Cure for La Grippe.
