A Pertinent Problem. DIToRl JOURNAL: In behalf of the projected movement to establish a method of fire protection in our budding municipality, may I, a mem. ber of the committee to canvass, be allowed a bit of your valuable space to urge concerted action on the part uf the property holders and citizens in general for the carrying out of the scheme proposed, while the iron is hot. This committee, in order to have a basis to work on, constituted itself a board of assessment, and assessed all persons living and doing business within the proposed protected district in prop rtion to the amount of prop erty-stocks, buildings, &c., each hid for protection. This assessment was as fair and equable as could be made without official statistical data, as was evidenced by the prompt re sponse of the sterling business men of the town on the lists of subscription. Such men met their assessments will ingly. Others gave as they felt able: some not at all. Sentiment in fhvor 1 of the plan propoEed was almosl I unanimous. Of these plans it is not necessary to speak, as everyone is fi miliar with them. Five hundred (ol lars was decined the minimum amnount necessary to assure the project. The committee, after a full and thorough canvas3, can show but -350 sub. scribed and in prospect. One hun. dred and fifty more dollars are nced ed-are absolutely necessiry before any steps can be taken. Where arc they to come fromu? Will tLe busi. ness men of the town allow the preselt interest so manifest in this laudible public enterprise-public necessity, rather-to ebb! Certainly the water famine, not threatening, but present, warrants speedy action; and tho method proposed seemns adequate and thoroughly practicable. Imagine, if you will, the outcome of a fire in any of the biusinosa blocks, with two. thirds of thc vells on the street dry. The tire or ganization and its coim mittees have exhausted their re. t sources; it remains for tho l-isiness men to act and that promptly, else the whole thing will go up in smuoke (the town too, possilly). Will they do it? I may add, in conclusion, that it i may be accepted as nearly certain that a material reduction in insur nuce rato will result from the estalb. lishmont of this department.

Elell, c< The Scriptures teach us to re. o joice with those who rejoice and)( a weep with thcee who week. Today ci i'm weeping with the brethren of the Methodist church over the de porture of your preacher and my P frie~nd and brother, Rev. S. P. 11. e Elwell, D. D. What a shudder ran a over me when I read the notice of 1 his death, he so strong, so cheerful, so full of life and~ energy, gone a suddenly wlthout time t- say good =r bye to loved one How sad I Andr yet God knows beat. "He doeth all things well." lBro. Elwell was no ordinary man. Twenty years ago 1be was pastor of the M. E. church at Easley, while I was pastor of the Baptist church. We wore much together, Il e preached m my church and I ini. hi5, and two men never got along bejtter than he and j . WullI do I remember some of his great ser mons. The hes t I ever heard him preach was from the text Hoeb. 4: 16. This sermon wvas preached for tne at a country church during a p)rotracted meeting, and during the delivering of the sermnon both prea her and congregation seemed overpowered by the presence of and fearless in the discharge of duty. Now as a soldier discharged he has entered into the rest that remaineth for the people of God. Farewell, dear brother, till we meet again. Ihere we have preach ed, prayed and sung together, and I believe in heaven we will shout and praise the name of the Tribune God together fovever. D. W. HXoTT, Seneca, 8, C.
