Telegrams were sent to al! towns throughout Puerto Rico requesting like demonstrations The feeling of uncertainty regard ing the tarsff bolds business practi? cally at a standstill, the merchant be ing afraid to order goods or to advance funds on the planters' accounts. The meeting today was conducted in a calm and businesslike mannner The merchants here will be satisSed to accept any de cisi?n of congress either free trade, the 25 or 15 per cent tariff but they a*k for a settlement of the question st> that business activity may be re resumed They decided to take this unparalleled step only after mature deliberation Sixty country women marched from N*ranjtto, arrivii g last evening, and p-li'ioned Gov Gen Davis to save them from starvation and to provide work and food The women present? ed a most pitiable sight They were barefooted and ragged, half naked, duet covered and weary from their journey r^otne of them were lame ; ail were discoruaged The petition which thpy presented to the governor general tells the story of the depressing times-no work and the price of rice beans and bread beyond reach fruits destroyed ?nd the relief supply discontinued, ? bringing them and others where they came fr- m almost to starvation.

At this meeting toe ?gares o? options on bods , in and near Pacoiet were fubmitted By a glaoce at tbese figures, it was clearly seen that the prices asked by the property owners were high, out of \ reach of Ei9tero capitalists, who do oot care to spend ?30,000* for aSout two hundred acres of laod fouttaeo miles .rom this city. Some of the laod couid n ?t be purchased at all. So the directors determined to build a ?500,000 cotton mill io Georgia Capt Jobo H Montgomery will be president and treasurer, and Mr Victor M Montgomery, assistaot treasurer atd manager.

The actual relief movements have not been publicly developed in detail but it seems that Lord Methuen only started very recently and is rather engaged in dispersing the B ?ers of the district than aiming at actual relief Col Peakman has dispersed 500 Boers at Fourteen Streams Lord Roberts probably ascertained from Mr Fraser, the new mayor of Bioem fontein, before dispatching Gen Pole Carew southward that, in all likeli hood the railway wa? clear The next move will be to collect at Bloem fontein by railway sufficient stores for the army Lord Roberts will have when the Orange river forces have joined bim This will probably occupy from two to three weeks Tnerefore the next important operations may be expected in Natal The cavalry brigade which L^pd Roberts bas sent to Thabanoha, 35 miles east of B'oemfonreio, is destined to cut off some 2 OOO Boera wio are esoap'Dg from the southward.

Every year about this lime lib?se interested begin to write to trie State board of pensions asking wheo tbe pension money will become avtiiable, uone understanding the complications and vexatious delays that have to te encouutered by the boaid iu getting things io shape for the mouey no be paid out Already such inquiries are being received, and so thai some idea <?f the woik mtgot be obtained by trie pub<ic, the following statement has been made public : "Several petitions have b-en re ceived by the State pension b ?ard, asking that the tond be distributed as soon as possible to the poor, needy veterana and widows Tne d^Uy ir, the matter of paying out the pensiona is generally * opposed to be the fault of the Mate board and thia statement is made with a view to explaining a few of the d ffi u'ties with which WP nave to contend So far only 13 counties out of 40 have sent in their roils ; after the rolls are received nere, they have to be checked over with last year's rolls and in nearly every case many oid pensioners are ?eft off. ?Ve then have to make a list of th^m and send back to the county boards asking for information, and fr? qoently wait several weeks before we receive it, as the boards are scattered ; besides th s, we have to return many applications which are defective for correction In many counties pension township boards have bad no meetings yet. so we cannot hope to receive the in*t rolls before the latter part of April, if then In one county there were 45 old pensioners unaccounted for. and it has taker? two we^ks nince the rolj was Checked over and tne nannys sent to get the proper information con cerning them, and ihi? is on?? ol many instances ; if we copied the rolls in the condition in which they are received we wou'd be doing gieat injustice to the pensioners, as by it quiries regarding those leff off we invariably find they were over looked and should have been rep ?rt ed. When the roll* are fi iaHy in, and after considerable w<?rg done on them here it? proper order, it is then necessary to m*ke <u- the pay rolls As there were over 7 OOO pension? rs last year and likely to be 500 more this year it is a matter of considera ble time and work to wri e out the pay rolls for the cletks of court W e then send them to the chairman of the county board to verify and then only are we prepared to pay out the pension fund "-State --?--??. - A REUNION OP WOPFORD j ALUMNI Snartanburg vianj. 19 -The .?.Incint association of .fforo G<? le?e. of w i cb C^pf W E burnett is p'e>id n . 5a det* mimed ro have a grea* r- union o tbfi alumni of this c -Mct/e, 'O be ? he,? ia Jone during c rna ?. cement At a recent meeting a cumnor ot com? mittees w?re appointed lo ki g to <hi. snd Tbe^e c<>mmitte* ?? cor???s ot ?br kind of gen'l'oien wbo are c*pa ie, willina; and ar xmas t.? make to?1 reciioo & success Tots wnl be ?h'! *asr sommeiicement io which precut or former students will set- Dr J n H !
