The tines collected by the present Council s:nce the first of April last year amounted to $564.50. And since Janu ary of this year $150.50 have been col- ] lected.

Misses Stella and Minnie Bourn, of Clinton, after spending several days with theirsister, Mrs. Hennessey, left on Monday for Tempton, Mass., for a prolonged visit to relatives. A pleasant voyage girls. The farmers last week hauled away fertilizers faster than the rail road com pany could haul them to town. Would that some other sections of our county would do like the one in which "Some times" lives-buy only a very little. At a regular meeting of the Y. M. C.

In this particular in tance, please explain why you change be orthography of one word in the h'ase. The lady in question was of >uth Carolina nativity, education, ustomns, and manners, and we thought be old English phrase, "to the manor orn" conveyed the exact idea. Please xplain the difference.

It is the custom now adays when the country schools can't get My more public pap they die. Thieves here have been living off the feathered tribe. They have taken in sixteen geese from NMr. J. K. Epps i sinee Christmas. Scarcely any corn has been planted in this section up to this date. Farmers, if you haven't planted, it is time you had your seed shelled. The feather renovator was around through our section last week blowing up beds. Just ask Jeff how he likes them after they have been renovated. The grain crop has "come out" con siderably in the last two weeks. It is waking up, and the prospect is favor able for a good crop. The farmers have been pushing for ward therr plowing every day that was favorable. I don't think I have ever seen so much plowtng done in the same length of time. Mr. J. A. C. Kibler takes the lead in road-working in Township 10, so far as I have seen. He has put his section in apple pie order, working his hands five days in succession. This is busi ness. Anything that is worth doing at all is worth doing well. Our friend H. S. B. Kibler isa young farmer, but he "gets there all the same." He has sold twenty bushels of corn of his own raising, and says he plenty left to do him. The Farmers' AlliaLce stil gets a fire brand thrown at it occasionally. It is just like every other organization in the world, it has its load of criticism to carry. But this is nothing more than we expected. There is a set of cold water men who are ever ready and waiting, and by the time eveiything gets in good working condition, to con mence pouring on. But in spite of this set of hindrances the Alliance stands on a solid foundation. Many farmers, outsiders as well as members, have al ready felt the good results of the Al liance. In the beginning we did not expect that it would at once fill our cribs with corn nor our meat houses with bacon and flour and put gold dol lais in our pockets. Rome was not buht in a day, and we do not expect that all the beoefits, to be derived from the Alliance shall come, like Minerva from the brain of Jove, armed and equipped for battle. The Alliance is planted on a right foundation and it will grow. The Cannon's Creek Alliance is in a prosperous condition. I th;nk we have the strongest sub-aliance in the coun ty. Our membership is 48. We meet the first Saturday in each month at 2 p. in. SoM. f ES. NOTES FROM ST. LUKE'S. Mr. Tom Boozer and family, of Lewiedale, son of Mr. Win. Boozer, have been visiting relatives and friends in this community. Miss Della Hunter is spending some time with Miss Olivia Paysinger near New berry. Miss Betsy Hunter, more familiarly known as "Aunt Betsy'', is staying with her sister, Mrs. Polly Spence at Prosperity. Mrs. Spence is growing old and infirm. Next Sabbath will embrace confer ence, whi Mh will prevent regular ser vice at St. Luke's; however, our thoughtful pastor has arranged to have service. There will be a missionary meeting conducted by sonic of the semi nary students from Newberrv. We, who live in a Christian country are prone to neglec': the cause of mis sions. We fail to heed the Macedonian cry. "Come over and holp us." Our Y. M. C. A. deserves special mention. We have meetings twice a month regularly. Mr. Newton Lester, a zealous, Christian worker is at the head of this grand and noble organiza tion. The young men are the hope of our country. The St. Luke's Academy is doing fine. Our p)eople realize the impor tance of educeating their children. L. NOTES FROM EXCELSIOR. Small grain booming. TheU pretty weather of the past week has put the farmers on a "get there."

To the Editor of The Herald and tc News: Hamlet and Horatio are dis- S turbed by a flourish of trumpets and !sL firing of ordnance, which Hamlet ex- u plains as follows: 11am. The King doth wake to-night, E and takes his rouse, Keeps wassail, and the swaggering up- 1 1 spring reels; And, as he drains his draught of R.hen- d ish down, 01 The kettle drum and trumpet thus bray out t The triumph of his pledge. Hor. Is it a custom? 11am. Ay, marry is't: And though to my mind, though I am a native here, And to the manner born it is a custom ti More honored in the breach than the observance. [Hamlet, Act 1, Scene iv. v It seems clear to me that "manner" tl and "custom" in this quotation are sc synonymous-that Hamlet objects to f the custom though he is to the custom d born. This is my opinion, but it must w be borne in mind that opinions settle ai nothing. I might add that in every P edition of Shakspeare that I have ex amined the word is printed "man- gi ner." GEO. B. CROMER. b The Three Greatest Men. h w The junior and senior classes of New berry College have, for several months, te been trying to decide who were the j, greatest men the world has ever pro- fe duced, taking as definition of true si greatness the high and rarely attained re standard, great in action, great in in- J tellect and pure in morals. Many names were presented, brave warriors, noble statesmen and philosophers with the loftiest intellect. But for the want Cr of time the list might have been ex tended almost indefinitely, for many bright stars have risen to adorn and sa shed their lustre over this dark world of ours. These names were discussed from time to time. Finally the classes de- Cl cided upon nine out of the numbers, a. and of the remainder there were three 2 names, all of which seemed to be sa equally favored. Consequently there a i were only nine selected, the honor i which was to be conferred upon the eu tenth being divided between the three. Li The names of those declared as nine greatest were, taking them in chro nological orde,, Socrates, Caesar, Luther, Gustavus, Adolphus, Oliver Cromwell, George Washington, R. E. of Lee, William Gladstone and Prince h Bismarck. The three undecided, Co umnbus, Shakespeare and Napoleon. 1 The classes propose now, if possible, t to determine the names of the five rie evi greatest women that have ever lived. be * W1 co f ATTENTIION, FARMERS! an The Cotton Bagging Trust Reorganized---A tin at Good Time to Start Pins Fibre Factories.

Rio JANEIRO, March 24.-In Rio at resent there is but one topic-the epi lemic which is making such great ray ges among all classes. The official re urns of death froni yellow fever from :he commencement of the year sum up [5,000 victims from that form of fever done, and mortality from other types s unusually great. The inhabitants at io are dying off t the rate of 2,000 a month ini a city of hree hundred thousand, largely dhe leted by the flight of every one able to ake refuge in the highlandsofSanitaria. hildren from ten years dowvn are the ~pecial prey, even infants a few days ld succumb to the plague, and no medi a skill avails to save the families of he most eminent physicians from lecimationi. No doubt the great severity of the ~piemic arises from the complete fail e of the rainy season to make its ppearance resulting in great scarcity ,T f water and in the drying up of pm wamps. ec' A Father's Furious Wrath. h [Greenville Fews.] CIFrToN, S. C., March 22.--Clara, he nineteen year old daughter of J. S. lagins. eloped with E. Mathis and was narried yesterday by Captain James ood. After the ceremony the party ent to the house of the groom. The news of the runaway match soon spread bhrough Clifton and reached the ears of Mr. Hagins. He was very indignant ,, md threatened to take the life of both ride and grooni. He procured a shoe aker's knife, a weapon with which he is exceedingly skilled, and repaired to the house of the groom. Without uttering a word-being a mute-he ade a desperate lunge at the throat of young Mlathis. The blow was some-4 ,hat parried, but struck Mathis just W. above the ear, inflicting an ugly wound R everal inches in length, the bride inter- r fered and received a slight cut on the C hand. The interference of friends pro- n vented any further bloodshed. Dr.O0. At 1. Falls promptly sewed up the wound Ca f young Mathis and pronounced it not D fatal. Hagins has been arrested. - More than a Century 0Old.
