Cotton planting is nearly over, and corn replanting is general-. There is a good deal of sickness in our community. Mr. George McManus lost his little boy three years old, and Mr. C. H. Hatfield, an infant three months old. In both cases death was very sudden and unexpected. They have the sym? pathy of their many friends. Mr. T. EL Smoot, of Darlington, closed his school on the 9th inst-, at Pisgah Church. Mr. Smoot deserves \much credit as a teacher, and made many lasting friends while in the discharge of his school duties. If all the patrons of the Pisgah school would unite we could have a fine school every sesison, but alas, we fear the future will be like the past, a few, a very few, would have the ex? penses to meet. On the 19th instant the Sunday School at Pisagh church held an or phanase day. After church services the ladies served a tempting lunch, which was enjoyed by all present. The collection for the Connie Maxwell Or? phanage amounted to S3.25. May God's blessing accompany this little gift. Look Out. Easter Elections at Stateburg.

Neutrality Not Violated. Washington, April 22.-The report of CoL Crowder, who investigated^the shipment of horses and mules to South Africa from the port of Chalmette, La., was laid before the cabinet today by the president. While the report is incomplete, it developed that the con? clusion was reached by the president, from what he had seen of it, that there is not sufficient evidence to show past or present violation of neutrality and consequently there is no warrant for intervention. Col. Crowder made some additions to his report during the afternoon, and tonight he went over the matter very thoroughly with the preisdent and the attorney gene? ral.

Colombia, April 2JL-Governor Mc? sweeney has four Acts that are await? ing his approval or vote. Two of the number are of general importance" Cne of them relates to the liability of railroads on bills of lading, (the Sullivan Act, ) and the other refers.- to the much discussed State bonds, (the Graydon resolution, ) which seeks to wipe the bonds off of the State Treas? urer's books. The railroad bill is of general im? portance and Governor McSweeney has received a great many letters, and had a number of interviews concerning the Sullivan measure. There were questions of law involv? ed, and at the requestjof some of those interested the legal questions were presented to the Attorney General by Governor McSweeney, and he h?s promptly rendered opinions giving his view of the legal issue. In brief, he states that, in his opinion, the laws are not unconstitu? tional. . Notice to Telephone Subscribers. Subscribers will please add to their directories the following: 87 Barnett, B.

Probably few people know that the original name of the state of Tennes? see was Franklin or that in 17S8 the salaries of the officers of this common? wealth were paid in pelts, but the fol? lowing is a correct copy of the law: "Be it enacted by the general assem? bly bf the state bf Franklin,, and it is hereby enacted by authority of the same, that from and after the 1st day of January, 1788, the salaries of this commonwealth be as follows-to wit: "His excellency the governor, per an? num, 100 deerskins. "His honor the chief justice, 500 deerskins. # "The secretary to his excellency the governor, 500 raccoon skins. "County clerk, SOO beaver skins. "Clerk of the house of commons, 200 raccoon skins. "Justice's fee for serving a warrant, one minkskin." At that tune the state of Franklin extended to the east bank of the Mis? sissippi river, and on the west bank was that great unknown forest region of Louisiana. It was then a "terra in? cognita," save a few canoe landings and Indian trading pests on the river banks. It was known ?as the district of Louisiana and in 1805 was made the territory of Louisiana. The state of Franklin, which be? came Tennessee in 1796, was almost as little known. The now great city of Memphis was ? mere trading post "and was not laid out as a village until 1820. . : Pelts were as plentiful in those nays as pennies and much better ?fistr?b?f ed for purposes of currency and barter. The pioneers were perhaps as happy and as well contented as is the average: citizen now.-Arkansas Gazette.

A number of years ago a son was born to a colored woman, in . the south, and as, he was her first she looked up? on him with pride and was much at a loss to find a name for him. Relatives and friends, including her mistress, were appealed to; but although many names were 6UggestedV all were dis? carded. After many days of deliberation she said one morning to ber mistress: "Miss Mary, I'ze. found a name for my boy. Fm going to name him Delicious." "Why," said the lady, "where did you get that naine?', . "Qh." she ?ried, 4*Pin going tb call .bfm that 'cause I want to name him .for Mr. Grant" When it was explained tb her that the great he**0 was named Ulysses and not Delicious, she was somewhat dis? turbed in mind, but Ulysses did not please her, so the boy had to begin life burdened with the name Egbert Eu? gene-Detroit Free Press. William Wirf? Reformation. ' William Wirt, the great lawyer, at? torney general of the United States and prosecutor of Aaron Burr when he was tried for treason, was stupefied and made sensuous by liquor. At times he lost all self control and self respect On one occasion while drunk he fell in the streets of Richmond. While lying there asleep Miss G- the most beauti? ful woman in the city, to whom be was betrothed, came along, saw him and placed her handkerchief, on which was her name, over his face. He wakened, saw the name, learned the incident and it reformed him.-Beverages. Cdd iirinkins tapa. When every man got drunk and was proud of it in olden days, much ingenu? ity was expended in the construction of queer and elaborate drinking ves? sels, and many such r.re yet to be found in museums, especially in Ger? many. ) One preserved in a Berlin museum represents Diana mounted on a stag and surrounded by hounds and hunts? men. The cup consists of the hollow body of the silver stag, the head of which is removable. The piece stands fourteen inches high. It was made at Augsburg in 1C10. It is also an auto? mobile propelled by clockwork conceal? ed in the hase. Trick cups which drenched the unini? tiated were very popular. Another va? riety contained wine and water in sep? arate compartments. The drinker who did not know how to manage them filled his mouth with water, though the cup was apparently full ot wine. The glass with the fighting hares, iii^ the same museum, belonged to Fried? rich Wilhelm I. The hares represent two of his ministers and boon compan? ions.-New York Herald. 1 '?Si JUST ESCAPED HANGING. , -" HBHK';:;% Dr. Mudd. Who Mended John Wilke?] Booth'? Broken Les* Mudd was a physician, and it was to his house that Booth had ridden on the; night of his great crime. There his broken leg had been set; and there he had been secreted for one day. The doctor was an educated man of refined and dignified manner. He had never quite recovered from his surprise that any one should find; fault with him for setting a broken bone for a stranger.; He always asserted that he did not know Booth and was not aware at the time that Booth had committed a crime. But Mudd had been an ardent secessionist He was accordingly sen? tenced to imprisonment for life.
