"\V. T. C. Hates, Treasurer of tho

has boon solved u rulo issued by lbm.
Henry Mclvor, Chief Justice of thu
Supremo Court of South Carolina, or
tiering him to show causu before tho
Supromo Court of said State, on thu
llrtit duy of tho emming term, to wit
Tuesday, 'ilut day of April, A. I), 1 H'.rK,
why n writ of uiuudamuH should not bu

wit: To fund certain bonds therein

Act? of tho Oenorul Assembly therein
rouitod uu if thu bonda wcxe in tho poa
action of t ho petitioner and relator
and tendered and Hurrniulorcd by him,
for a return in answer to said rulo ami
for cauHO why a writ of mandamuu
should not issue, says :
"1. That he is advised that t )< ie

if not an absolute bar, in a BiiOlcieid
rr round to authorize this honorable
i Court iu tho cxt'Tciuo of its discretion
in mumlamiiH proceedings, to rofuao t?
cr.int the wril.
"il, That he in ad\ isod that there n;o
been unreasonable d? lay on the pait <>l
tho relator as receiver of the State
Hunk, and his predecessors in olhoo ol |
receiver, in taking action in the Count ,
to compel the State Treasurer by ..
Krit of mandamus to fund thfc bomb j
und coupons described in the petition,
and that by reason- of such laehis,
which is unexplained in the petition, j
this Court in the exercise of its discro
tiou is authorized to, and should, re- :
I fuse the writ of mandamus. '
The return then proceed*. Jo answei ,
the allegations of the plain titV s petition,
I denying the truth of most of its ..lie- (
(rations. The respondent alleges that .
he knows nothing about the appoint
.inont of tin receiver at the instance ol
the Statu; that application was inadt j
to hint to fund tho bonds and coupon* j
mentioned in tho petition and he re- j
fused to comply with .the demaud,
that ho denies tho right, of the re- t
ceiver to havo tho bonds and coupom j
of the State of South Carolina sot lorth j
in the petition funded by liini as State ?
Treasurer, as he has 110 authority un- [
dor tho Acts of tho Gouoral Aasouiblj .
to f u ud tho Buid bonds and coupons ,
unless they are presented to him by ,
tho holders, and can bo surrcudeic j
,iUd cancelled, and that the Acts of 111-:
General Assembly aforesaid make no .
provision for tho funding of bonds and
coupons of tlioi State which havo bryii ,
lost or destroyed, and no such duties
are imposed (Von him as State licaa- ,
urcr by the said Acts.
Tho return then states the cifcum- J
'wtanccs of tho attempt-ot the receiv. r 1
of the State Bank to havo the (..emu .1
Assembly order payment of bis claim, j
which the, Legislature refused to do. .
After summing up the history ol I tlu
rejection of the chum by the < o n. r.il ,
Assembly the return continue:
"After this action 011 the \ art of tin
(tonoral Assembly of the State, in ref
ereuce to tho funding of the bondssn.i

felt impelled, in tho discharge ??t I" 1

Several Acts of this natnio arc then ,
cited. 1 u conclusion the return says^ ,
"As to the interest due on the F.aiu .
bonds, it has never been determine.!
that the coupons of said bonds are st.l
outstanding and unpaid, and iu fact

On page 30 of last minutes it will bo
oeen that a resolution was adopted that
tho Press Pscociation memoriali/.o tho

this subject consisted of R. It. Hemp
hill, jLouiy Appelt, T. 13 . Crows, A. J.
Clarke and J. O. Hemphill, with tho
picsidcnt as chairman. Being under
the improssion that tho bill passed by
the Legislature at tho session of 1891
had failed for want of approval by
Governor F.vaus nud being advisod
after consultation with saveral members
that it would be better to let the matter
rent I did not call this committtco to
gether. Duringjtho last days of the ses
sion of tho Legislature of l?S!).j I was
informed that the bill of 1804 was law
without tho signature of tho Governor.
I immediately went to Columbia and
after consultation with somo of the
members of tho Association 1 prepared
a bill which 1 considered equitable and
fair, ami it was introduced by Mr. J.
H. Karle in tho House on tho last day
for introducing new bills. Tho idea
prevailed among the members of the
Legislature that a rate at so much a
word should be tlffod. Tho bill I pre
pared fixed the rate at two ec&?i a
word for each subsequent insertion
without any extra eharg?/fot caption**.
I measured several Master's sales sot in
solid brevier at the rate of $1 an inch
for tho first insertion and fifty cents
for each subsequent insertion, and
then counted tho 'words of tho samo
advertisement at tho word rate os pro
vided in this bill and I found that tho
difference iti eost was very small, the
word rate being only a triflo lower. In
very short advertisements it red'iced
the prico a little more, but tho gener
al average was not much reduction. I
considered a uniform piicj per word
better than a rate which allowed extra
pay for captious, for then there would
hnvo keen a uniform rnte tho same
work, whereas by allowing extra pay
for captions there would lmve
been a lack of uniformity for tho same
york, for tho reason that some pub
lishers would bavo put more captions
than others. Hut this last Legislature
itemed bent on reducing everybody's
fny, but theif own, and tho pr?o fixed
in my bill wa* reduced ono half. I im
mediately returned to Columbia and
?s the aesw>n was drawing to a close
tho bill elid not get through the Sen
ate. I feel that tho bill referred to
above, that was introduced at the last
i? a fair and jast one and I
tin h* if I co aid get before * roa*ona*

It is related of a Parisian bee master

Feed for Layera.
In regard to feed, most farmers kuow
that bens will fatten on the grains
raised on the farm, wheat, oats aud
corn, if these are fed regularly either
by mixture oKwlth frequent change.
These are impnbved by grinding and
a little meat tended a couple of times
a week. Hut it may l>e well to hear
what a Nova Scotia expert has to say
about feeding laying hens. lit) says:
*Thero is nothing equal to the exclusive
bse of meat ami bono with very Uttlo of
'anything else."
Going to South Af*ic*.
During the last year or two the?e bag

movement seeuis to have extended to
others than tho miners, and may In
dicate that the emigrants have not,
fared badly. A man advertises In a
recent lssuo of a Dead wood paper that
ho will sell at u bargain bis saloons In
Dead wood anil In Lead, as he Intends
goiug to South Africa. Whether he ex.

doctors oallod Nervous Indigestion,
from whioli I suffered duyand night.
I tried several doctors, took oloctrto
treatment, patent mediclue% and,
In fact, everything that I oould hear
of, but nothing done me any good
and I made up my mind there was j
no help for mo, only to grin and bear
It, but one day I wa? passing a drug ,
store and stopped to look at the dls*
play in tho window and I bapponod
to see a card with 'Itipans Tabu lea'
on it and I thought, well, here's
another straw for a drowning mac,
so I'll throw somo more money away, '
so I went in and bought a box, and, 7
seems to mo, tho first doso took
effeot. I have been taking them ever
since and they havo suroly worked 1
wonders with mo. When I look back
?on the post and then on my present V
