A few days ago he was denounced by crowds of much excited individuals who thronged the streets. His only not of reparation was the conveying of his property here to the | directors of the Stock I'lillding Asxo- | j ciation. This property was scheduled i at ti valuation of W?,00(), hut an Invos- I ligation proves that it would sell for ! no more titan $.">000. Richard Howell was one of the oris- , Inat'os of the Stock RuUditig Assoeia- j tioii. which was fotined in 1*71. He j was made its tirst secretary, and lie held litai position to the day he mysteriously disappeared. There liacl been some ugly rumors afloat, hut no one gave them serious thought, and little attention was paid ! to the absence of IIowoll until he had ' been gone several days. Then ques- | tions were asked, and it was learned that lie had sent to Heorge It. l.angley. ; the I'resident of the Association, a package containing deeds to all of his I property in this part of tlio State. It wns feared Mint the association j was in serious difficult! 's. lint quiet j was restored when it was anouuecd i that Mr. Howell's property was worth \ S: 50.0(H). A meeting of tlie stoekhold- i ers was called, and there was a full at- j i tendance. Many went there expecting I j to hear had news, tint the worst fears of the most pessimistie were far more than realized. Although the officers i and direc tors of the association were i present they would not talk. They j were represented by Walter Ha eon. of ' Bridget on. who l;:ui heen employed as I | counsel. Mr. ltaeoti said that a shortage had heen created during the last month, j He added that for years the affairs of til - association had heen in had shape. It was thought that the income of the j association had heen close to $552,000a year during the last two years. Instead of Unit it was but $12.0(H). Mr. Howell, who had charge of the i una mnde n practice of crediting nil money received to the account of profit. So when loans had lioon repaid ho hml added the principal to the profit account, making it possiiile to pay the interest regularly and keep every one pleased. It is a fact j that for years the eapital of the asso- j eiation lias heon used to pay dividends. Mr. Bacon closed his remarks with the suggestion that one of throe 1 courses must lie pursued. If business is to lie continued the capital must be replenished. If business is not to ho i continued bankruptcy should be nc; ceptcd. The third alternative is tho appointment of a receiver. One of, the stockholders nskc.'. :liat ' experts be employed to go over the hooks and accounts. This was objeetj od to by Mr. Bacon on the ground that there is no money to pay the Increased expense. Tito stockholders became rather ugly, and Insisted upon having their own way. A committee was. then appointed, and all efforts to have one of the present directors made h member of that committee failed. Mr. Langley was asked if he knew where Mr. Howell had gone, lie refused to answer the question. The situation here Is pitiful.

Bill Arp's Regular Weekly Contribution. PHILOSOPHER GIVES HIS OPINIONS On the Modern Tendencies Towards } Women's HmaucipMion From Her Former Condition. I've been watching these women? these club women. For a long time 1 did not like the name, but I am reconciled. 1 never vist nl a man's club but once. It was a gathering of very nice. well behaved social gentlemen with eatables anil drinkables in the background. but no body patrt.ok to ex<;ess while I was there. The excess came af| terwards, il it eanie at all. But a wo] man's elub lias neither eatables nor drinkables nor cigars. Of course it is a very social gathering but they mean business and they do it. Only a few years ago a few ladies of this town determined to do sonu riling for the town and they formed "The Cherokee Club." and soon had more members and went to work. All the members had passed their teens and the married ones had laid by their erop. They secured a charter and then got a lease from the city and tlio state for fifty years control of the ground between the hotel block and ttie railroad anil adorned it with grass and gravel walks and enclosed it with a chain feme and placed handsome iron seats by the shade trees and piantod a beautiful fountain in ttie t enter and peopled it with gold fish. This beautiful park is the frolicing ground for the children and a cheerful resting place for their tired mothers and , a trystlng place for youiy; men and maidens. Near l?y the traius are pass- j ins at all hours, and our new beautiful passenger depot is near at hand, where our people congregate to receive their i friends or bid them goodby. And the | club did it all, for the old depot would still be there if the women had not s tirred up the men to demand another. I Then these women began to plant flowers and shrubbery in the school house grounds .anil next they started a small library in a small room, and circulated good books among our pen- i pie and they kept on and on until they got a larger room and more books. | and kept it open two days in a week. ! and the demand for books soon wl- | dened to the country and every week I they sent out four boxes of sixty vol- j times each along the mail routes, and ! so have established a rural circulating | library that lias proven a blessing to | our country hoys and girls, and the books always come back unhurt and are sent out en another mission. Next these good women started a sewing society among the poorer classes in our community and are taking turns in teaching the girls how to cut garments and make them and where they are very poor they give them aid and comfort. It is all charity .Hut last of all and best of all they have actually laid the foundation of a Club Library building that will hold thousands of hooks and wh"ro all '.ho host magazines of tho country will ho tukon. The city fathers gave them a beautiful lot and if the weather permits the building will bo linishod and paid for and occupied in three months. It will not only ho a library for books but a place for rest for tho traveling man as well as for our country friends an I their wives j and daughters when they come to town, liosides these uses it. is intended to have literary and musical entertainments there that will lie far more elevating and refining than tho average shows that perform in our opera house. These women organized a iyceum course for two winters and succeeded fairly well, but to send afar off for lecturers costs too much for a town of this size and so they are going to secure home tal?nt and talent from Atlanta and Home and Dalton and have entertainments at popular prices, say at 10 cents admission, as Professor Proctor, the great astronomer did up north. He told me he never charged more in a manufacturing town and always gave the working people the preference of seats and always had a crowded house. It was n cheap and delightful school to them. What these c lub women will do next I do not know, but tluy mean business. They mean to elevate their own sex first and if the men and boys come in they will find a welcome. I suppose that this library building will he the first that any club has erected in the state, and what I wish to remark and emphasize is that there is not a respectable town or village in the state but can do something on this same line. Now I hear you ask, where did you got the money to do all this? "Heaven helps those who help themselves." Our women began with very little .The railroad gave them SilO to start on arid gave them part of tho seats in the park. Then the club gave an oyster supper and made a good little sum. Later on they held a bazaar, and inter en a concert, and after awhile another supper, and nil along at intervals thev cmnt <1 ?u inn irercnants and others and ' '>{ si.me 1 mo money nn 1 when they run clear dtiv.n thry assess themselves and we husbands and fathers have to shell our.
