We Are Told THAT our competitors consider themselves lucky when they lose oo more than from five to fifteen ncr cent, of their total sales each year by bad debts. Ol' course some body must stand this lo-js. It's not the intention that it shall rest on the credit merchant. The old-fashioned credit nyatem of charging much more than the Goods are worth provides very nicely for even 15 per cent, losses.

A Tornado Strikes MariUomillc. Tenn. ATHKXS. TKXX., March fl.-A terrific tornado passed over a portion ot' Mad ison ville and Monroe counties last uiglil with disastrous results. Karly in the evening a strong wind arose and several hours Inter a tornado about seventy-live yards wide struck a por tion of Madisonville, killing three per sons, wounding ton or twelve others, and completely destroying t wolvi* or fifteen houses und several barns. Tho killed aro: Mr. and Mrs. Jack Moser, Ed L. Horton. Wounded: Miss Millie Kevin. .Miss Della Mason, Mrs. K.L. Horton. Mrs. K. A. Hobinsou, Mr. !.. A. dobinson, Hebert Robinson. Miss Hedgers, Mr. Moser, Prof. ('luirlos Kelly. Tho Horton and Robinson residences aro both complete wrecks, not one timber hoing left ulm ve another on tho foundations. The escape ol'tho inmates of these two houses, eight in tho Horton and throe in tho Robinson,seems miraculous, sumo ol'thom hoing blown a distance of a hundred yards yet escaping in some oases without a scratch. W. F. Ervin's residence had one end torn away, Dillon Rogors's house is also a wreck, Erskine Lowry's resi dence moved the distance of ton foot and was wrecked .almost ont of shape. Telephone and telegraph wires aro blown down and nil communication shut otf. . Tho storm cann up with alarming suddenness and swept everything in ity path. It was accompanied by the ter rific roar usually attending tornadnos. Frightened inhabitants rushed for t boil cellars and places of safety. In thc country groat damage was done tc orchards and crops by the wind and hail. It is reported that further casualties resulted in the rural districts, but m; particulars can bo obtained. The most frightful feature of thc tornado was tho manner in which Jack Moser mot his death. Ho was hurled by the wind's force from his house, ii distance of 700 yards, until his pro gress was impeded by a wiro fence, which completely severed his head fron: the body. The remains were found in that con dition by tho rescuing party, which die: faithful work after the storm had sub sided. The 12-year-old son of Mr. nus Mrs. Moser was in their home with then but ho was not hurt. Hugh Hicks und Charles Pierce won seriously injured. In addition to tho loss of lifo and tin destruction of residence property, barm were swept away and stock was killed Tho wood working and milling plain of J. H. Hurleson was damaged, to gether with costly machinery. Tin property damnged is not secured b} storm insurance and is believed t" \n a total loss. It is believed that Miss Rodgers, win is reported as seriously injured, maj die. her body having been lacerated b} broken panes of glass. She was als? badly bruised and injured internally. Upper East Tennestee points repor heavy wind storms, accompanied b: terrific rains. Tho rains did union damage to crops in that section, and i is conservatively estimated thai- tin torrent, coupled with the recent freer.? and bad weather, will moan a loss of ? million (lullars to farmers in that soc Hon.

Directions fur the Hoard of Pensions The Legislature did not change thc pension law. Amendments were intro duced hy (.'apt. A. ll. Dean, ol'.Spartan hurg, and by Mr. Laban Mauhliu, ot Picketts, hut neither bill passed the Senate. The State Hoard of Pensions, thrungli Miss Kate V. Maher, clerk, is sending out instructions to township and Coun ty Hoards. The State Hoard consist? of M. U. Cooper, Secretary of State: J, P. Durham, Comptroller General, nm! G. Duncan Hellinger, Attorney (Sen eral. The following are the instructions t< county ?iud township boards and will be of general interest . All now applicants for pensions must appear in person before the townshij boards. Said application must have tin approval of thc township and county boards before the State board will ap provo them. The township boards nun drop from the roll of pensioners tin miine or names ol' any party or part ici which, in their judgment, are not en titled to a pension under the law. The; may add to the roll only such names o new applicants as may lile applications Those, already on the pension roll neel not tile new applications, but must ve port to the board. The board will jue pari' a list giving the name of cac! pensioner who has died since the las distribution of pension funds, and o those who participated in the distribu tion of 1808 who, in their judgment, ar not now entitled to a pension. All new applications not properl; and correctly filed in every particulai although approved by township am county hoards, will be disapproved b, the State board. The county hoard are requested not to forward to th State board the applications of HIM pensioners disapproved by townshi; and county boards. Township and county boards will mi tice that the law provides three'classe; "A," "li," "C," with live sub-division of Class C, as follows: Class A.-Those who have lost but hands or both legs, or bcd!? eyes, or ar totally disabled, and whose incoiu does not exceed $250.

The board can on each him write the township, and then give tl pensioners in that township by class alphabetically. Township boards cannot, be too car ful in these matters of "income'' ai "physical condition." It is a very po mau whose gross income from labt rent, and other sources, does not e ceed $100, or poor lands, if any, win will not produce this amount groi Property sufficient to produce $100 applicant's or his wife's name debil him or her.

HAVANA, March 4.-The Cuban As sembly has requested the newspaper men of Hjivana, "upon their honoras journalistsand good, patriotic Cubans," not to publish anything they may learn regarding the Assembly's secret ses sions, "thinking that public knowledge of what is doing may be used against the Assembly in its subsequent deal ings with the United States.'1 This, it is claimed, shows that no individual member ol' t ho Assembly trusts allot her. Lust night there was much mysteri ous cafe whispering. It seems tinda considerable portion of the time during the sessions td' the Assembly is spent in insulting Americans anti Cen. Go mez, and in personal collisions between the members. They ulso, it is added, accuse each other of accepting bribes from the United States, which accusa tions were followed by threatened duels on the adjournment. In addition to this tho Cuban As sembly consider that the planting nf General Fitzhugh Lee's flagstaff four metres deep m the ground is a sure sign of the continuance ?d' the Ameri can occupation of the island. These reports, arising from the prolonged and boisterous secret sessions, have made the doings of the Cuban Assembly the joke td' Havana. Any rumors discreditable to the American military authority assiduous ly reported. No immediate solution of tho matter of the payment of the Cuban army is in sight. Gen. Gomez has not submit ted to Governor General Brooke the details regarding the Cuban army ne cessary tt> enable the latter to perfect plans for thu payment of (ho soldiers. The Cuban Military Assembly is spend ing its time in a discussion of tho myste rious loan of $12,0(K>,(MJ0, for which, it is reported, those lending the money will ask S'^o,0(M),uOn in payment. Gen. Come/, thies not attend the meetings of thc Assembly, and apparently ignores that body, which has not yet decided ofliei ally to accept the < $?,000,0(10 from the. United States. Meantime, the first in stallment of tho American money is promised. About 2 per cent, of tho canned meat issued to the relief stations for distri bution to the destitute is said to be spoiled, as is ulso a quantity of calmed tish, tomatoes and baking powder. The State's Greatest Curse. St? the dispensary stands, like the baleful Upas tree, tilling the air with its poisonous exhalations und extend ing its roots deeper and further into the soil. So it will stand till stone up heaval of the earth shall break tho hold of its roots and hurl its huge trunk prostrate on the ground. And, sooner or later, that upheaval must come. The politicians are afraid to trust the people with this question, and ere long the people will be afraid to trust them. Then the people will take the matter in their own hands and settle it finally and forever.-fitiffnry Ledger. ST.ITK OP OHIO, CITY OF TOLKDO, I LUCAS COUNTY, | I'll ?MK J.

Coi. r M m.\, March 2.-There is just now considerable interest being taken in the matter of the State constables. The constabulary force now isas large, or larger, than it has ever been. To day's otlicial record shows that there are sixty-two constables on tho pay roll of the Shite dispensary-counting the three in th?' Penitentiary under charges ol' killing Mrs. Stuart. Tin* force seems to have been grow ing slowly, hut surely, within the last, few mont hs. There seems t<? have been no special demand for the increase, but il. has grow n day by day because ?d' a request here and lhere fora eonstuhle and the tremendous pressure on the Governor's olllce tor places on the force.

There is thought tobi' demand fur all of the constables on th?- force hy those having t he mat 1er in hand, other wise they would not be appointed. In Charleston and Cullimbin there is very litt le at tent ion paid to work ing up cases through the ?-mistadles, as it is -aid that il docs not pay. so little is the prospect ol' a conviction. In Charleston and Columbia and some other places the constables an- used almost entirely for the seizure of liquor at the. railroad and ?-xpress oft!ces, ami to make raids.
