Magnolia, S. C , March 3 -A genuine case of smallpox has developed in this place, not more than tero hundred yards from the depot, among the railroad section hands, which bas caused considerable commotion in our quiet little town. A negro, as asnal is the victim. From his demeanor he certainly thinks birt - self qaite a hero Many more negroes will doubtless exert themselves to seen re shares in the loathsome disease, and hasten to divide with all whom it may be their good fortune ic come in co a tact The most of them are opposed to vaccination, aod call this disease .'black meares." Dr Bacot and health officer Reardon after making a toar*through the smallpox region, came here yesterday, and hoisting tbe red flag at the infected house proclaimed quaran tine against it Dr Darby now vaccinates free of charge, all who request or present themselves. Mr J A Luckey is slowly recovering from an attack of pluro-pnenmonia Miss Carrie Belle, daughter of Mr. B F. McLeod, bas been quite sick for several weeks, nut we bear with mach pleasure that she is somewhat improved Miss Cora Player, daughter of Mr. B. A. Kee!9, is extremely ill, and ber recovery is doubtful Uar live, energetic and popular pastor, Rev E. B. Mason, bas palled off bis coat, rolled np bis sleeves, and gone to work actively, erecting buildings aod laying off a garden OD oar new parsonage premises. The work ie near completion The farmers in this section are exceedingly anxious for a spell of dry weather, as farm work is very much retarded. Signs of the late freeze will be with as a long time to remind os of tbe 15th of Feora ary, 1889. All tbe jsesamioea are killed, also, many other evergreens. Mr. P B. Sanders found a large dead 'possum in rear of bis yard. on tbe morning of tbe freeze, which doubtless came there in search of food asd Ending none succumbed to the cold. Great oem bera of birds also froze to death Two tramps, on that terrible night, Feb ruary 15th, called a; Mr. Wm. Talion's, and asked for shelter from the weather, etat.og that they bad been refused at twenty-one places that eveniog The younger of the two was nearly froz c. aod wept like a child wcao'hegot to the fire. They had on shoes but no socks Be it said to tbe credit of Mr Tallon, they were weil cared for while at bis home, and furuisbed with such under cloth ing as they did not have. How could a human being refuse or tarn off any one .io such aw fal weather ? In tbis part of tbe county Irish potatoes are being planted io considerable quantities for market, bat there will be very little re duction in the cotton acreage Some will plant even more than they did lest year on the dim prospect of a general reduction.

Under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid So ciety of the Baptist Church, Prof. W. W. Brown will lecture in th Y. M. C. A. Hall, on Tuesday evening next. His striking sub j?ct will be "Kissing." The State says of the lecture : Brof. Walter W. Brown's lecture on "Kiss ing," delivered here last night, was a uias terful effort. The audience made up in en thusiasm what it lacked in numbers. Toe lecture is unlike anything else heretofore produced--unique, original, uone-sncb. Full of wit, humor, ladricous situations, it keeps the bearers for an boar iouproarious laughter * * * And it is not all fun and laughter. There Are scenes of iotense pathos, bot there is notbiag morbid. There are beautiful pictures of bom and home-life, bot nothiog offensively didactic. The lecture is, in fact, a medley, which touches many chords of ocr maoy-8ided human nature, yet there is perfect order and symmetry, affording that pleasing effect known as unity ie variety. The price of admission will be pat low, so as to comport with the hard times ; but the feast of good things will be spread ail the same, and ooe will be admitted to a seance on tho s obj set of Kissing for 25c. Girls j oat esririog maj come in for the smaller sam of 15c THE SMALLPOX SITUATION IN THE COUNTY. Health Officer E. I. Reardoa was in the city to-day. He reports that the small pox situation ia Sumter Coanty is encouraging, the cases being about 20 in number. The Sanitary Inspectors are retarded in their work by their inability to eoforce vaccination, as the Compulsory Vaccination Law cannot be enforced, owing to the fact that certified copies of the law have not been furnished to the Inspectors As soon as they are placed io a legal position to enforce vaccination, they will be better prepared to close in and etamp out the disease. There have been over 300 cases io ail. It is feared that the disease will get a fresh start owing to so many people being novae cinated, and the sooner the proper state au thorities give the inspectors copies of the law the better the chance to stamp ont the small pox. Letter from Cuba. ' Mr. Smith spent a part of last year io this ocooty, with his sister, Mrs. S W. Mobley, of Providence, and bas some warm friends here who no doubt will be glad to read (bis letter from bim, which is copied from the Chester Lantern : My dear friends : I am going to write yon a few lines, bat I am a poor hand to write. We landed in Coba Jan. 6th and settled down io a low, flat place and stayed there three days. It came a big raio and got so maddy they decided to move as, and now we are ap on a little mountain io sight.of the sea I do say this is the prettiest place I have ever asen. The oom fields are green with oom. Watermelons, oranges, ooooanuts, and bananas are plentiful. There are some very pretty girls.over here, bot it is very disooarag iog to try to talk to them couple of my friends and myseif went oat calling last night and carried some m os i ca I instruments and gave them some music. They seemed to to enjoy it very moch. We woald sit aod laugh aod they woald do the same When a crowd of them get together and talk it seems to me like a drove of black birds. I think this place will be a grand wit - ter resort io time to oome, or as sooo as we soldiers get peace restored. There is bat tittle sickness io camp. Good-bye till another time. W F.

The rebels attempted to capture the water works, six miles from tbe city They were driven back with great loss They made the main attack at night, bat the fighting was renewed this morning Under cover of darkness the insur gents approached within a short dis tance of the outposts of the Second Oregon and the First Nebraska. They soddenly opened fire aloDg the line for a considerable length. The outposts returned the fire immedi ately. The contest was maintained at a furious pitch for a tong time. The fire of the Filipinos was severe. Two Americans were wounded and seventeen rebels were killed on the fighting line and many were wound ed. The insurgents retreated slowly, keeping np the fire until ont of range Another attempt to capture the water works may be made. At San Talan the Colorado infan try, a battalion of Nebraska and two guns of the Utah artillery were engaged in the battle with the Filipinos Hale's brigade to day located 250 insurgents and two guns near San Pedro The guns were placed so they could enfilade Wheaton's bri gade Geo.

China. FALLING OFF IN THE TAX ON FERTILIZERS Little Over Half What it Was Last Year ior the Same Time. The receipts from the inspection and analysis of fertilizers have fallen off this year. The receipts to date have been bat $34,000, against 50.162 75 last year, and $44,583 75 tbe year before. Io 1898 for the entire year the re ceipts ran up to over $60,000, and it may bs that there will this year be a proportionate gain on til the much-de sired minimum of $40,000 is obtained AU of this tax has heretofore been given to Clemson college. That insti tution this year asked for an appropria tion of $40,000 from the State, or rather stated that that som would be all that would be Deeded to operate the institution. The privilege or inspection or tag tax caused the legislature more trouble than any other except the dispensary ; for the proceeds of this tax are devoted to a special institution, and it has been de oided by the United States supreme oourt that suoh a tax for the mainten ance of a special institution is not con stitutional Several attempts were made to reduce the tax from 25 cents a ton, but the final outcome was that the law was amended so that on its hoe it com plied with the Constitution and still permitted the funde after passing through the treasury to be devoted to Clemson college avowedly for tbe pur pose of remunerating that institution for the expense attached to toe inspection of fertilizers, all iospeotieos being made at Clemson. The bill bas not become a law, as it has oever been signed by Governor El lerbe Toe falling off in the receipts from tbe inspection of fertilizers then is due to the fact that .fertilizers are not finding, and may not find, such a heavy sale this year, or that the planting season is long in coming and uncertain in its outlook, and farmers are afraid to con tract for fertilizers under such conditions. Concerning: Appendicitis. Dr. H. E. Lernen of Alton, Dis., says "I often meet people who have such a wholesome fear of appendicitis that they do not eat grapes, tomatoes, figs or fruits containing little seeds because of a.fear that these seeds will lodge in the appendix and cause appendicitis. "Whenever I hear a person say ho denies himself fruits because of this fear I take occasion to assure him that it is useless to take any such precau tions. If voa like fruit, eat it, for ap pendicitis, seven in ten instances, is due to other things than seeds. Little particles of food of any kind can lodge in the appendix and produce appendi citis, even a bread crumb being capable of it. In addition, a great many cases are caused by something entirely out side the appendix, something causing the inflammation. "To all I would say, 'Go ahead and eat anything you like, for all precau tions yon may take are not going to save you from appendicitis if you are going to have it.' The inexplicable things to which the majority cf cases are attributable cannot be guarded against, and it is useless to fight the minority. "_ Sam Hodgkins' Will. "Sam Hodgkins." says tho Lewiston Journal, "was in his day and genera tion a much respected citizen of ?Han cock, and, like his son Dudley, better known as Uncle Dudley, was well known all over the eastern portion of the county. An amusing story is told by some of his old acquaintances to an eastern Maine paper of how he once made his will It happened to be done at a time when the old man was in one of his happiest and most generous moods, and. realizing no doubt the un certainty of human life, concluded that he would bequeath to his seven sons Dudley. Zachariah. Moses, Sam, Shem, Gee and Elliot-his worldly goods and possessions. "He was very anxious that the will should be legal, and was careful lest any of his children might be left un mentioned in some way. So the old man drew up the instrument, in part like this: 'Half to Dud, half to Zack and all the rest to Moses. Shem is blind, Sam is poor. Gee has moved to the Falls (Sullivan Falls) and Elliot is the baby.1 As the will was never pro bated it answered the purpose just as well as any. " Bismarck and the French. Bismarck had no great opinion of the French He believed that they are too easily swayed by popular catchwords "Talk to a Frenchman about liberty, equality and fraternity, tell him that his nation is the greatest in the world, and you can do anything with him. You can impress the French more than any other people if you tell them it is done in the name of freedom. " Asked his opinion in the case of a certain French spy, he said: "It's a sad casa You've got to hang him, but do it with the utmost politeness, so aa not to hurt his feeings. "-Exchanga Equal to a Fairy Story. Bilkins was seated in an easy chair enjoying his paper while his wife was busy with fancy work. Bobby, the 4-year-old son of the household, on the floor was fighting a battle with tin sol diers. Presently the little fellow tired of his play and exclaimed "Mamma, won't you please tell mea fairy story?' "I don't feel like it tonight, Bobby,' said Mrs. Bilkins. "Go and get your papa to tell you what detained him down town so late last night. "-Ohio State Journal Missed the Combination. He is one of those gushing old beaus who think flattery the key to favor with the gentler sex. The other evening he was at a reception with his wife, and they met the handsome Miss Blank, at whom he fired a whole battery of compliments. Then turning to his wife he said, "It's a good thing I didn't meet her before I married yon, my dear. " "Indeedit is," she smiled sweetly, "for her. I congratulate Miss Blank! " -Exchange.
