Now tlmt the Venezuelan trouble
ifi pvnclialy settled, the people
of Honduras have grave fears that
the Venezuelan incident, will he
repeated there over a debt. Several
yearn ago Honduras floated a
large amount of bonds, which were
bought principally by Kuglishmen
and Germans. The government has
never made even a pretense to pay
either the interest or the principle,
and the whole now amounts to
jnore than the country is worth.
Senator A. H. Dean, of Greenville,
hasan interesting bill pre{>artd
which will bo introduced in
he general assembly. The object
/?f the bill in question is to enlarge
fhe jurisdiction of the magistrates'
courts giving to these courts all
dispensary cases except where
illicit dealers have become a nuisauce.
If the bill becomes a law
the circuit courts will be relieved
of nearly onerhnlf of the usual
number of cases, and in that way
it is hoped to obviate the congestion
of the counts that has overworked
the officials for ho long a
time.

The municipal election in Rock
ljill comes off tomorrow, there liein^
several olHees to lid, mayor,
two aldermen at hum*. and one alderman
each from Wards 1 to -1.
So far the question lias caused
considerable amusement and uncertainty.
Several nominal ions
have been made by "Many Hriend- '
for Mr. Kininently (Qualified who
declined with thanks one day, reconsidered
the next and will make
the personal sacrifice if the "dear
people" demand it. Several others
at first declined positively to run,
but could not refuse the persistant
pleading of friends. The latest
candidate, possibly, for mayor is
Mayor .J. J. Waters. It was generally
said that lie would not coiisent
to enter the race n<rain; but
some knowing ones all nloiitf refused
to itMitv to this idea, holding
that in due season he would allow
his friends to use his name.
I landbills have been distributed,
putting forth two tickets as follows:
