Tin Spartanburg correspondent of the Aetrs and Courier says: "The new cotton - mill project at Wellford is attracting i s.i'ruo attention. The Penny Shoal is a wry wonderful one, with a fall of fifty t m> fr et. It is believed that the average . p -wer through the year is sufficient to rot: f. large mill. There are no settled p tins yet and will not be until the co? ? l?.t-iv is organized'. The inclination of those uow interested is to erect a muslin mill. The manufacture of fine cloth nq'-.iies a less- outlay for cotton, fewer hau Ma and less water power. The demand f.>r those fine goods has been very strong litely, and that is also an Inducement to put hi "machinery that will make very fine floods. The success of a similar : .mill ut Gaflney , under the snperlnteia dt nteof fl. D. Wheat has shown that ,tiiie goods can be made there as well as ' in the Eastern mills. Another argument I in-Tav or of such a mill is that the Pied mont section makes cotton suitable for such manufactures. Our farmers are small ones. They handle their cotton with care and much of lt is free from trash and dirt. Tbe staple is also better than 3otton raised farther soutb. There will ba no trouble for a mill to secure enough of the best cotton for its pur? poses. The men who have taken hold of the enterprise are sufficient guarantee of success."_ What a Week May Bring. Columbia Stale. Looking over the political field in this State just now, one can see and hear of nothing but war and rumors of war ahead. March, che month when all j political upheavals in this State start, is now very close at hand, and soon will be seen the political battlefield covered with fighters. The only strange part about it all will be that the participants will all belong to what, up to two years ago, was one solid army, all of the same way of thinking, and living in perfect good fel? lowship. ' Just at this time everything seems to be calm and serene, and is, so far as tbe general public are advised; but the troubles that have been referred to from time to time have taken deep root, and it is now only a matter of days when tbe most remarkable condition of affairs, politically, that has ever been known within the borders cf. tbe State, will be exposed to full view. Yesterday a good many things were ascertained from the leaders of both factions of the Reform party, which make it perfectly safe to predict, or even state as a fact, that ere this week, or at the furthest, a few days of next week*, roll by, there will be developments which will change the entire political outlook and make things pretty lively indeed from that time on till the close of the campaign in August. Some of the most remarkable changes in men have been brought about, in some strange manner, during tbe past few months, and no Reformer can now step up to a brother Reformer and feel per? fectly safe that both will be on the Bame side of the house. The developments ex? pected will show to the. outside world {iretty clearly that the Irby faction is no onger master of the situation, although it may hfi still in good fighting trim. It will show too, more than likely, that tbe convention, which tbe caucus in Wash? ington said meist not be held, will be held some time about or soon after the first of April. This convention may be regarded as a-certainty, but even after it is held, there are certain things which might - oceiv to change tbe entire situa? tion .again. Among these may be men? tioned the decision on the constitutionali? ty of tbe Dispensary law. and the conse? quent tight of the prohibitionists. This latter matter night change the entire plan of campaign. It is stated, on very good authority, that the Irby friction, during the week just closed, did its best to have the chair? man of a certain campaign committee call ar convent od, with the object of Sitting in the field ahead of the other ction, after the failure to work any kind of a compromiss. This man refused to call such a convention, and tbe refusal mean:} a good deal in showing which way the wind is blowing. The position of Governor Till man just now, while all these moves and counter moves are being made around him, is very unenviable. He has been placed in a position that he has never known before, and one of his former sturdy sup? porters said yesterday that he seemed to 08 terribly puzzled and absolutely un? certain as to what course to pursue. The Governor must now look to his personal interests, if he wishes to go to the Senate, and he has strong; quiet, working men to deal with. He is unable to tell bis friends from his enemies now, and con? sequently, so this man says, he is sitting upon the fence waiting to see "where he is at" before ho dares to clamber down to terra firmy. He tried to get down once, but saw that it was unwiae, and resumed his perch forthwith. It is no? ticeable that the Governor is having absolutely nothing to say now, especially in regard to t hat third term idea. * With the developments referred to above as expected so soon, will come the real opening of the icampaign, and from that ti me forward there will be plenty of politics to tickle readers and prevent farmers from looking after their fields as they should. Then, too, early in April will come the meeting of the State Com? mittee for the purpose of making up tbe schedule of the campaign meetings this summer. The campaign is going tobe novel, spicy and interesting from tbe very, start, and it will be of a kind that has never been known in this State before. Just watch and see. An Assistant Professor. The members of the board of trustees of Clem son College, who have been in at? tendance upon the called meeting at the College, yesterday afternoon returned to the city. The meeting was called for the Surpose of electing a successor to Prof, fewman, as professor of Agrioulture at the College. All the applicants for the position were in attendance upon the meeting. There were some strong men applying, among them being Profs. Massey. of North Carolina; Quick, of Mississippi; Glenn, of Georgia and Davenport, of Michigan. Tbe- board wished to elect the latter, but he declined to take the position upon tbe condi? tions imposed. These conditions were that he should be elected for a year only on trial. When the board found that Prof. Davenport did not wish tbe posi? tion on such conditions, it decided to elect an assistant professor and place him in charge of the department for the next year. Prof. McGb.ee, of Mississip? pi, was elected to the position. The new professor graduated from the college of the State from whioh he comes about twelve years ago, and has been connect? ed wiih the State experimental station of that Stf.te. He comes here very highly recommended. He is about thirty years of age. The college was reopened yesterday. The mombers of the board say that there are now about 350 or 400 students on the ground. They expect some 500 or. 600 on tbe ground before tbe end of tbe week. Most of the other business of the meeting was simply routine. The addition to tbe mechanical ball will soon be completed. Tbe work has been rapidly pushed forward.?Columbia State. Weber was Short. Columbia, S? C, Feb. 14.?A great e;ensation has been created in South Carolina by the announcement officially fiven out to-day by Superintendent of iducation May field of the defalcation of John L. Weber, School Commissioner of Charleston county, for several years. The amount of peculation is $1,237. The shortage extends over several years. Why it has not been discovered before has not been explained, but there are insinuations that other Charleston offi? cials may be implicated, and that further startling developments may result. ' Weber was oonnected with the Nexos and Courier and was at the same lime School Commissioner. He recently re? signed both positions and accepted the position of professor of English literature in Trinity College, North Carolina. Since he left the State, the defalcation was dis? covered. Weber not only raised school pay certificates by inserting figures in the legitimate amount, but got trustees to sign others, which were to pay for school supplies. Having oomplete confi? dence in him, they signed the warrants for small amounts usually, whioh he afterwards "raised." The matter has been known in official circles for some time. Recently Gover? nor Tillman telegraphed Weber to come back to South Carolina, which he did. He was quietly arrested in Charleston and gave bond and returned to Trinity College. The exposure was made publio to-day and the evidence seems indispu? table against Weber. Unless be skips his bond the penitentiary is undoubtedly I his lot. Webtr is highly connected in the State. He has a wile and two small children. He got a god salary as a newspaper man and as commissioner, but bis downfall is attributed t~> high social aspirations whioh ho did not have money to keep up, to gambling generally and dealing in futures. The attorney general has rendered an opinion that the provision of the county government bill which was supponed to disarrange the whole tax machinery of the State, really amounts to nothing, as tbe present county government will remain in force until 1895, when the new law goes into effect. ?

C, Record says: "lt is estimated it costs $15 per acre to cultivate cotton, If this estimate is cor? rect;, tbe man who makes 500 pounds of lint cotton to the acre and sells it at G cents a pound clears $15 per acre, while tbe man who- cultivates four acres to make 500 pounds loses $30, since he gets only $30 for a crop upon which he as expended ?60." Correspondence Between Got. rJ iiliuau and Mayor l olly. The following correspondence explains itself: State op South Carolina, Executive Chamber, Columbia, S. C, Feb. 10,1894. To the Mayor and City Council, Ander? son, S. C. Gentlemen : I am in receipt of a let? ter from J. B. Doutbit, chairman of the County Board of Control of Anderson, in which it is charged that the city authori? ties are not making any efforts to enforce the Dispensary law, and that "blind tigers" are selling more whi-key than tbey did last year. The quarterly roport from the Dispensary at Anderson shows a net profit of over ?2,000, which gives the city as much revenue as it derived from licenses for tbe same length of time. The State Board of Control regrets to make this complaint, but you cannot expect to receive this revenue unless you satisfy tbe County Board that you are acting in good faith in enforcing it. Tbe State Board will give you a bearing before acting in tbe matter. Respectfully, B. R. Tillman, Gov.'and ch'm. i Mayor's Officr. Anderson, S. C, Feb. 14th, 1?94. Hon. B. R. Tillman, Chairman Board of Control, Columbia, S. C. Sir : Your letter of tbe 10th Inst., ad? dressed to the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Anderson, was received by me, ana in all frankness I must say that I was greatly surprised at the informa? tion that Mr. J. B. Doutbit bad, as chair? man of tbe County Board of Control, written you a letter in which it is charged that the*city authorities are not making any efforts to enforce the Dispensary law, and that "blind tigers are selling more whiskey than they did last year." My surprise arises from two sources. First, because the County Board of Control has made no complaint to me as Mayor, to the City Council or to the police of the city, and have expressed no dissatisfac? tion to us and made no request or sug? gestion in any way on the subject. On the contrary, two of the County Board of Control in conversation with me on tbe subject, in tbe presence of Mr. Oraig, not only made no complaint but announced that tbey were ready for us to have our share of tbe dispensary profits. Second, because I am satisfied that an injustice is done the city in stating that "blind tigers" are selling more whiskey than they did last year. Our police have been watchful and as far as they have authority or opportunity have enforced all city ordinances. Tbey have on sev? eral occasions learned of distributions of whiskey from wagons outside the city limits, where tbey could not go, and have communicated their information to the constables. It is not surprising that they have been unable to get information on which cases can be founded in tbe city when t he State constables and those they use as detectives have been unable to Eresent a single case on which a jury can g seoured to convict. As you know, there have been numerous trials here by tbe Trial Justices with impartial juries drawn from lists prepared by the consta? bles from citizens, numbers of whom are in sympathy with the law, and yet in no -single case have they seoured a convio tion. I do not mean to say that no whiskey has been sold outside the Dispensary, but I do know that no case has been reported by the police nor has any case been reported by any person to the city authorities, and I have no means cf pro? ceeding without prosecutors or witnesses. The police assnre me that they have seen nothing and have received no complaint or information on which they ean base a report of any violation of the city ordi? nances. Of course you understand that we cannot proceed on rumors, but I am ready to fully and vigorously investigate every charge for-violation of the city ordinances, whether presented by the police or any citizen who may step for? ward and make the accusation. If Mr. Doutbit knows whereof he speaks that "blind tigers" exist in Anderson, and will make tbe affidavit to secure the institution of the case, every witness he names that can be secured will be heard in each case, and the accused will be tried by the City Court exactly as any other alleged violation of city ordinances is tried. I cannot think in the face of the recent trials here that there is any considerable illegal sale of liquor in Anderson. Of course my position would keep parties disposed to violate the law from doing so where I would know it, and the same is true of tbe police. I will be glad to meet tbe State Board of Control on this matter If soy charge of dereliction on the part of tbe City Council is made by the County Board of Control, but I am satisfied tbe board will make no such charge, and that Mr. Doutbit will not Impute any failure to perform their duty to the city authorities. Respectfully, G. F. Tolly, Mayor. A Sad Cose. From the Deutsch Zeitung of Feb. 5. My Dear Mr Editor?With a sad heart I go to bed to-night, a ruined old man, to rest my old bones. As I have written to you before, I have been engaged in mak? ing wine, my farm being small and yield? ing but a slender income. For nine years past I have been raising sour cherry trees to make cherry wine out of the juice. I had succeeded this year to tbe ex tent- of making fifty gallons of wine, fifteen gallons of cherry juice and some blackberry juice. I also bad on hand fifty bottles of old wine that I had been keeping for my own use. Owing to tbe Dispensary law and not to get into trouble I bad taken no steps to sweeten the wine, and it of course soured into vinegar. But in order to preserve it and not suffer further loss I put sugar into the cherry juice. But t was not to reap the fruit of my hard work and my outlay. To-day I had a visit from one of Gov? ernor Tiilman's ' gentlemen," accom? panied by assistants. I was not shown any warrant, bat was told that he bad it in his pocket, and that my house was to be searched to see if there were any spirituous liquors in it. I told them that no searoh was necessary. Here is cour grape wine made by me right here, about forty gallons ; here is my cherry juice, not prepared for market, and here is my own wine for my own private use. The fine "gentlemen'' filled two beer bottler, to send them to Columbia, telling me to let everything stand just as it was till tbey should hear from Boss Tillman. They left my house, but in about two hours tbey returned with a wagon and carried away everything. They did not even leave me one empty bottle. They arrested me and said I bad to give bond for $200. Poor me I with seven mouths (and all good eaters) to feed, Where was I to find a bondsman ? To whom could I go to save my little bit of property, earned by tbe sweat of my brow, my living and the living of my poor children ? My dear friend, what shall I say ? How think you I felt when I had to look on and see how a "free" citizen is treated in this State; bow he is robbed of his property in bright, broad daylight J How is an honest man to get on amid such doings ? How shall I find bread for my children, if my living is thus cut off? I suppose I shall have to go to prison or to the poor house. W. Schubert. Yorkville, S. C, January 30,1894. Keitt on Tillman. Ellison S. Keitt, of Newberry, one of tbe original members of the "reform movement" and a leading Allianceman, in a recent letter to tbe Cotton Plant, pays bis respects to his old "boss" in tbe following words; He is not working to improve the mor? als of tbe people and to raise them in Christian virtues. If he is, why is he forcing |bis whiskey saloons on dry counties and dry towns? He is not so? licitous about the morals of the people. He wants it to employ dispensers at large salaries and to fill the State with consta? bles and spies. He wants it as a corrupt fund to extend his power over and make sure his grip on tbe people of tbe State. He is not working for tbe good of the people. His every act is conclusive that be is working for B. R. Tiilman's ad? vancement, for that and nothing else. The short time he has been in office he has done more to destroy the peaoo. harmony and prosperity of the people of the State than all the men who have oc? cupied the position he now holds from tbe foundation of tbe government to tbe present time, including Scott and Moses, of infamous memory. Farmers of tbe State, I am talking to you in frankness and candor. It be? hooves you to think well on these things and cease to give further aid to Tillman in his efforts to destroy your liberties and the peace of tbe State. To deprive any man of tbe right to eat, drink and wear what he desires and pays for and does not use to the injury of any one else is the issue; tyranny is not to be tolerated by freeborn men. It will do for serfs and slaves, held down at the point of the bayonet. ? Chicago has instituted a ."Modern Church" in which people of all faiths are to have an opportunity to worship. ? One result of a great revival at Farmland, Ind., is that all the workmen in one factory have joined the church and now the factory is started with prayer every morning. In*; Problem in the Palmetto Male. Atlanta Constitution. When the South Carolina Supreme Court takes np the disponsary question in April it is quite probable tbat it will decide the act to be unconstitution? al, and in that event it is sate to say that there will bo few protests from any quarter. The Sonth Carolina liquor law is a hybrid affair. It is neither a prohibition nor high license measure, and there is nothing in it that promises the proper regulation of the liquor traffic. The mo? rality of the question is ignored entirely and its purely sumptuary features are unreasonable. It is now announced that after the 22d instant persons in South Carolina who have more than five gallons of liquor must have the State certificates or dispensary tags. Steps will he taken to thoroughly search all Buspected hou? ses, and the untagged liquor will be con? fiscated. It is difficult to see any remedial or re? formatory tendency in such legislation. There is nothing in it that will regulate an evil,and nothing that will suppress it. The dispensary law simply gives the State the monopoly of the liquor traffic?makes it the sole barkeeper, and prohibits good citizens from engaging in the same traffic which the State has sanctioned by going into the business! This false reform will not stand. If the courts fail to condemn it, the people will smash it, and after the public ver? dict It is unnecessary to bear from Courts and Legislatures. The people rule!' What is the vital principle of the South Carolina dispensary law ? If it is prohi? bition, then, go ahead and make it pro? hibition. If it is regulation, then, why not try our Georgia system of high li? cense, and regulate the traffic ? We can see nothing in the new system that is not unjust and oppressive. The moral side of the matter is. not regarded. People are left free to purchase gallon upon gallon and drink it, and store it away, provided they have the State tags on their demi jobnftft The State of South Carolina vir tually*says to her citizens: "You may Bpend all your substance for liquor and diink yourselves to death, but you must buy from the State, and let the State reap all the profit," It is natural that the people should re? volt against such a law. It has already caused more bitterness and strife, and resulted in more deaths in South Caroli? na than have been caused by any other one measure of recent years. If our sister State is in favor of prohi? bition, let the experiment be tried. If high license regulation is preferred, give that a fair test. But let us see the last of this nondescript device which recognizes neither morality nor regulation. The suggestion is made by some tbat under the dispensary law public morals are served, because drinking men lose the temptations to which they would be sub? jected if they congregated in^barrooms. Admitting this, would it not accomplish the same thing more satisfactorily to wipe out the retail houses and confine the sale of liquor to the wholesale men ? Or, if morality is the supreme question, why not tryjjrohibition in its moat iron? clad form. If public order is the main thing, why not try the Atlanta system of high license and strict regulation ? These are pertinent questions, in view of the troubles over the border. South Carolina is a liberty-loving State, and her people will not long submit to a system which vexes the citizens, costs the tax? payers an enormous amount of money, and makes it necessary to employ an army of special constables whose un? reasonable attempts to search private houses most necessarily cause strife and bloodshed.' It is to be hoped that the Supreme Court of the Palmetto Slate will declare this law unconstitutional. That wilt be the first step towards genuine reform. Get rid of the dispensary and its consta? bles, and it will be an easy matter to reg? ulate the liquor traffic. - Under no pretext can it be said tbat the State has the right to monopolize any traffic or any business. To admit this is to surrender everything appertaining to the liberty of the citizen. But, despite the forthcoming decision of the Supreme Court, the problom will eventually be settled by public senti? ment. No people in any State in the Union would long submit to the oppres? sion of a pretended reform which causes nothing but bitterness, strife and disorder. May Enslave the Country. Columbia State. There has been considerable specula? tion for some time as to whether any attempt would be made in other States to take up the matter of the control of the liquor traffic.under a dispensary system as in this State. It has been generally conceded by a good many who have studied the liquor problem, that if the plan of government handling of liquor proved successful in South Carolina, such efforts would be made. It now appears that the matter is to be brought to the attention of the several States of the Union much sooner than was expected, even before the success of the plan is known or not, or before the higher courts have been able to decide the question as to whether the govern? ment has the right to go into the liquor business. And the introduction of the question to the publio will come from an unexpected quarter?the National Far? mers' Alliance, Mr. J. W. Bowden, the delegate to the National Alliance meeting from this State, yesterday gave the information that onecf the three subjects recommend? ed by that body to the Alliances of the country for discussion the coming year, was the adyisabllity of each State con? trolling its liquor traffic by such a dis? pensary system as South Caroliua has. He says there is no danger of the Alli? ance patting up such control of the liquor traffic by the government as one of its demands, but the Alliance leaders of prominence wish the scheme thor? oughly discussed and want the people of the country enlightened as much as pos? sible on this greatest of all questions. The demands of the Alliance, as a national body, Mr. Bowden says, were reaffirmed at that meeting. He says the second question recommended for dis? cussion was the system of legislation by initiation and referendum ; that is to say the voters will vote on certain measures 1 at the elections, apd their sense so ex? pressed will bind their representatives, while after these representatives prepare the Acts, they must be referred back to the voters for approval before they can become laws, Mr. Bowden says the Alliance has not yet decided upon its next place of annual meeting. Los Angeles, Cal., and Ral? eigh, N. C, both want the meeting badly, and the matter was left to the executive committee to decide. He thinks that Raleigh will get it unless Lob Angeles offers to pay all the expenses of the delegates. Another Spot on the Bloody Record. Greenville, Feb. 13.?Another kill? ing in the Dark Corner! Stove Howard, brotherof the celebrated Big Bill, who died with his boots on, killed Uly Pittman on Sunday afternoon near tbo house of John Rector, on Glassy mountain, Sunday morning Pittman, who is a young man, had a fight with old Shack Howard, but the two were separated before damage was done to either. Later in the day Mitchell Howard, son of Sback, hunted up Steve, aud the two went out to bunt up Pittman. About 4 o'clock they found Pittman aud his brother Anderson, Steve Howard and Uly Pittman got Into a fight. As they fought the other two stood with drawn pistols to secure fair play. Howard and Pittman fell iu a clinch, and while down Pittman drew his pistol, Howard twist? ed the pistol out of his hand and they both rose from the ground. As they rose Howard pulled his own pistol and shot Pittman twice, the first bullet entering his arm, the second entering above the eye, and Pittman fell dead. Trial Justice Mitchell commenced an inquest-Monday. Howard was present at the inquest. More blood will flow, as the Pittman family are fighters, and this is the locality where twenty men have been killed during the past ten years. Woman Preacher Ordained, Boston, Feb. 14.?The ordination of Mrs. Amelia A. Frost, wile of Rev. George A. Frost, of the Orthodox Church here, as the only womau preacher in the Congregational Church in Massachusetts, took place here to-day. It is significant tbat the council report unauimously upon her examination and no opposition was made to bor ordination. When Mr. Frost was studying for the ministry his health broke down and Mrs. Frost as? sisted him in various ways, Tho result was that she took a full divinity school course at Andover. After Mr. Frost began to preach, his wile frequently as? sisted him by preaching herself. Some time since, the society took an informal ballot upon the question of asking Mrs. .Frost to become its associato pastor and this led to her ordination to-day. ?

A Grand Invention* In Ihn march of progress it would now Keein that the Westinghouse brake will Bonn be outstripped by a more simple and less expensive device. The Erio railway has veral months past had on trial a new brako, the one which it is in? tended will be the successor to tbe Wes liughouse brako. So tar tbey have found it as ef?cieut, simple and cheap, s,nd are so well pleased with it that they havo not only concluded to adopt it on their entire system, but have actually secured control of the entire patent right for the United States at a ridiculously low fig? ure. For months they have had the brake working on 100 cars of that road, and are about to extend its use to the entiro system. The brake is so sim? ple as to require hardly any mechanism, and is controlled neither by air nor steam, nor does it require" coupling between the cars in its operation, and requires no attention from the engi? neer. Its operation is automatic by the mo? mentum of the cars to which they are at? tached. When it is desirable to apply the brake tbe engineer shuts off the steam and applies the brakes of the en? gine. This throws the next car up on the engine, and the pressure on the bumpers applies the brakes to thai; car immediately. The next car isi bumped in like manner and instantly shopped, and bo on through the entire train. The action of the brake is con? trolled by the manner in which the en? gine is slowed up* If the engine brake is applied gradually tbe action is tbe same throughout the train, but if the en? gine's brake is applied suddenly every car fn the train will pull up with a sudden jerk. Tbe mechanism of the now brako is of tbe utmost simplicity. Indeed, there is hardly any mechanism. The Erie is now beginning to extend tbe use of the new brake to its entire system. They think tbey have tbe best invention in tho railroad line since tbe introduction of its prototype, the air brake, and have taken steps to reap the reward of tbe en? terprising ppirit which tbey have shown in giving tbe device a trial. They have secured the entire patent right for tho United States, with a contract to pay tbe inventor ?2 per year per brake which they put in use. They are making preparations to begin the manufacture of tbe new brake, and within a short time will enter the held to contend with the Westinghouse company for the monopo? ly of railway car brakes. The inventor of the device Is a man seventy-four years old, and has figured before as an inven? tor. Indeed, he claims that the air brake was originally his idea, but that the elder Westinghouse learned of it and patented it. Since his disappointment over that affair he has been at work on a brake which be determined should be superior to tbe air brake and would replace tho latter and retire it from active sar vice. Is It True ? Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 17.?A spe? cial to Topeka, Kas., says: Mary E. Lease claims to be a Mason and she baade tbe statement to-day that she pro? posed to organize lodges of Masonry for women throughout the country. Mm. Lease wears upon her bosom, suspended by a gold chain, a Knight Templar charm with tbe usual keystone of the chapter on the reverse side and she declares that she is as much entitled to wear it as any man who belongs to tbe Templar order. ShesayB her commandery is Hugh De Payne, of Fort Scott, Kas., and offers to prove to Masons that she knows all the signs and passes of the order, blue lodge and chapter and that she obtained them legitimately. She says if Masonry is good for men, it is much better for wo? men, as tbey are more needful of protec? tion than men. She says once by giving a sign of tbe order she was saved from personal violence, and from that moment she resolved to give to women the same advantage of Masonry that she enjoys. She said that she was thoroughly up in the Masonic work and it was not neces? sary for her to obtain tbe consent or aid of men in initiating women and that if the men refused to recognize her disci? ples as Masons, they could and would act independently of them and con? duct lodges and grand lodges of their own. Mrs. Lease admits that it is contrary to tbe Masonio rule for women to become members, but she declines to state how she gained the secret of the order. She challenges any Mason to test her on tue secret work of tbe order. Murdered bis Fattier. Mobile, Ala., February 13.?A special to the Register from St. Stephens, Ala., says: Old man Ras Rodgers, of Koenton neighborhood, Washington county, dis? appeared January 28th. When inquiry was made his sons, Allen, aged eighteen, and Benjamin, aged fifteen years, said he had gone to Texas. Tbe boys had con? siderable money, which tbey spent free? ly. They aroused suspicion and a search of tbe premises resulted in tbe finding of Rodgers's corpse in a shallow grave under the kitchen floor. Blood on the wallB of tbe bedroom showed where the murder had been committed. An inquest was held and a verdict ren? dered that death was caused by blows from an ax, by parties unknown, but Al? lan and Ben were arrested and hold without bail, obarged with killing their father. Tbey were lodged in jail at St. Stephens to-day. The guards say that on the way to jail Ben confessed that when the murder was committed he was in the yard, having gone there to escape seeing the deed done. He heard tbe fa? tal blows and beard his father gioan j three times. Returning and finding his father dead, he asked Allen why he had killed him and Allen replied that there was nothing else to do, as his father had threatened to whip him the next morn? ing. -? m A Plucky School Teacher. Some brave deeds have been performed by tbe teachers of prairie schools, who have in their charge from twenty to fifty of the settlers' children, rangiug from 5 to 20 years of age. When a bliz? zard comes down on the plain, as it often does, almost out of a clear sky, the school is often caught in session. The pupils feel the building quiver, the air is white with flying particles of snow and ice, racing in level lines from north to south, and tbey are prisoners, A Nebraska girl, a teacher in a country school, was, with her pupils, imprisoned for two days last year, and but for her good sense many of the children would have died. She gathered all the scraps of food remaining in the pails and ap? portioned it among the party, the little ones receiving most. Fuel gangs were made up by the large boys and tbe sheet iron stove was kept red hot. The chil? dren slept around tbe stove, but tbe teacher did not. The second day tbe little ones grew very weary and hungry, but she saug songs, told stories and bad marohing exercises. The coal gave out and she bad part of the desks burned. When the rescuers' sleds drew up to tbe door she turned over her charge all well ?and fainted. She wears a gold watch this year, a present from the district.? St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Ditched by Devils. Los Angeles, Cal., Feb. 16.?A spe? cial from Majave says: The Southern Pacific overland train No. 20 was held up and wrecked at Roscoe, about twelve miles east of Los Angeles, about 11.30 last night. The switch was thrown and the train run on a short spur, throwing tho engine and two cars off tbe track. Engineer Dave Thomas is badly injured and Firemau Arthur Masters and an un? known tramp were shot and killed. The robbers blew the express car open with bombs and robbed it, Tbe amount taken is not known. There were three men in the gang and they started north on horse-' back after the robbery, Another special from San Fernando says i Several mon boarded tbe train at 13urbank and at Roscoe their accomplices ditched it and commenced shooting. The Wells-Fargo express car was blown open with dynamite and the money taken. The Fireman was caught undo: his en? gine and only lived about one hour. Engineer Thomas jumped and took to the brush, though it is reported he was injured; and an unknown tramp, who was. stealing a ride on the pilot was kill? ed. It is reported that the robbers es? caped with several sacks of gold. The tramp who was killed was a youth nam? ed Granger, His body and that of Fire? man Masters were brought here several hours after the robbery. Too Many Wives. Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 15.?A special to the 2\mes-Union from Ocala, Fla., says: Several months ago Frank Jenkins, of Valdosta, Ga., eloped with a young woman ofthat place, deserting bis wife and babies. Jenkins and his para? mour came to Lake Weir, Fla., where they passed as Mr and Mrs. Denkins. Donk ins soon deserted the young woman and came to Ocala, where be ingratiated himself into the affections of Miss Myra Fancher, a highly respected young lady, and married her. To-day Denkins, alias Jenkins, was recognized by a gentleman from Valdosta, and ho immediately fled. His latest wife has sworn out a warrant for bigamy, From the School Trustees of Garvln Township. Mit. Ehitor: For the benefit of those who are interested in the managen; ent of the public schools in Garviti Township, (as there seems to be on the part of some perfect ignorance, to say the least of it,) we will make the following as a statement of the.rules by which we run the schools, and will say at the outset tbat if any of our patrons have a better plan we would be glad that ibey would feugge9t it First, we have but about nine hundred dollars to draw on ; second, we try to lo? cate the schools as nearly as possible so as all may attend. Our territory covers an area of about 120 square miles. We have now seven Bchools for white children and three for the negroes. Now, you can see at a glance that somebody has to be at a disadvantage as to distances the children have to walk, as there are about twenty square miles to the school. Nearly all of our schools have two teachers, and of ne? cessity have to be paid. Hence you see that the small amount tbat we have has to be divided between twelve teachers, which will be but $75.00 on three months' wages. We run all of the schools the same time, both white and colored. Some cannot Bee why we give one school more money than the others. We anBwer, that we think tbat 75 to 100 children at one school ought to have more money than 25 to 50 should. We always give, when we are asked, an assistant, when the school makes an aver? age of fifty, which you will find by con? sulting the reports of the schools. Now, we believe tbat we have the schools dis? tributed over our Township as nearly equal as circumstances will permit. We mean by circumstances the creeks and habits of the people. Now, we would like to have a school at everybody's door if it wa3 ex? pedient, but with the meagre amount of money it is simply impossible. We would say tbat we also do and have always have transferred our children to other town? ships where it is so that tney cannot go to our own schools, but will not do it where it is mere preference, from the simple fact tbat it does not cost a ceo t for them to go to our sc?ooIb than if they staid at home, as we pay by the school and not by the scholars. Bonce you see it is just that much given to satisfy somebody's whim. Neither do we locate schools just to satisfy somebody because they have fallen out with their neighborhood and want a school of their own to satisfy their disgruntled ambition. We do not believe tbat there is a child in our Township tbat is three miles from one of our schools but what can get to another in other townships?if so, we would like to know who they are. We know that our method may be bettered if the people will give us more money. Some of the members of our board have been serving for ten or eleven years, and have done the best we could without re* numeration, save the few ugly words that have been said abont us, which we are able to bear, if the parties who address them can afford to spend tbat much on so unprofitable servants as we are. We do not claim to be gods, bat we do claim to be or. dinarily honest and fair, "Close Observer" to the contrary notwithstanding, (she is not a citizen of our Township,) and all we ask is a moderate portion of a God-like people's charity. Very respectfully, Tbosiees Garvin Township. A Bullet in lien of a Bride. Asheville, N. C, Feb. 15.?A speoial to the Citized from Marshall, says : Wil? lis Morgan, a brother of Deputy Sheriff Jesse Morgan, of Buncombe county, was shot and instantly killed at Marshall, Madison county, by G. R. Sams, who is a brother-in-law of M. E. Carter, collec? tor of internal revenue for this district. Willis Morgan was courting Sams' daughter and had been ordered off the place. He persisted last night in forcing himself on the premises of Sams, with the result stated. ? Mr. William Riley, of South Butler, near Greenville, Ala., was accidentally killed on Sunday. He left his house to take a walk around his field. Not com? ing home next day, his family became uneasy, went in search of him and found him dead. A limb of a tree had fallen, striking him on the head, killing h im, it is thought, instantly. ? The Executive Committee of the South Carolina Agricultural and Me? chanical Society have revised the State Fair premium list very materially to what it has been heretofore. They have stricken out the prize for county exhibits and placed it among individual exhibits and the highest premium will be 575. This class embraces farm products and anything raised on a farm. The sweep? stakes for native cattle have also been eliminated, and many omissions and alterations of minor importance. ? Miss Emma Monlton, of Findlay, O., while temporarily insane from the ef? fects of an attack of the grip, jumped out of bed, threw up a window and leap? ed to the ground, a distance of about ten feet. Before she could be stopped, she clambered over a fence, ran almost half a mile into the yards of the Ohio Central Railroad and dashed into the cab of a yard engine, which was temporarily deserted by its crew. The insane woman pulled on a lever and started out of the yards to? wards Toledo. The engine was oyer taken before it was far out of the yards. A Million Friends.
