A Negro in Each 1ownship—One Member Declined to Vote to Rauty. The Board of Education were nearly all day Tuesday selecting the school committeemen for the the eleven dis— tricts in the county. Under the new lew old district lines are abolished and each township now constitutes a school district. Five committeemen are ap- p2inted in each of these and they have charge of all the schools in their re- apective townships. The colored brother was somewhat a thorn in the, way of the Board and caused some hesitavion about making appointments, To ignore him entirely might stave otf the possibility of his being used again to advantage when next voting time comes, and too many of him on the committees might cause a rupture and trouble, because of the tact thnt under this great new law the white and colored committeemen. work together aud the colored member kas just as much voice in controlling the white schools as does ber. There was some talk of putting two negroes onin certain townships, but finally the compromise was made of just tacking on one in each, right straight through. the white mem— After the list was all made out it was placed before the Board for ratifi- cation, when one member, Jesse Can- non declined to vote for it, his reason being that he could not vote for the The majority of the Board being against him, thelist was rati- fied.

Though Deprived by Poverty of Other Joys, The old saying has been .otten re-| © th peated that “Love laughs at lock- smiths.” Love has even been koown to unlock prison doors, and an instance has just occurred here which shuws that it can also remove paupers from the poor house. A few weeks since a young named James Rawls was zaken sick. He was a stranger, and seemed to have no home and no friends. physician whe was called to him Be- cured his admission to the County Home, and he was carried there, In due time young Rawls regained his health, and it seems while there he fell in love with Miss Mary Briley, anoth- er inmate ot the Home, cnd gained her love as well. man ‘Tuesday he informed Superintendent Bryan that he was ready to leave the Home, and if allowed todo so he would take Miss Briley with him and assume the responsilility of providing for her in future. The Superintendent informed him if he could show _himselt capable of caring for the young lady he would give them both a discharge and they could get married. It de- veloped that the young man had about $50 in money and he also claimed to have some land in Beaufort county. Today Superintendent Bryan gave them a discharge, brought the couple to town, and himself applied to Regis- ter of Deeds Perkins for a marriage license for them. The couple then went tothe Superior Court Clerk’s office where they were. married by Justice of the Peace R, S. Evans. The ctremony had an feature about it. had been completed and the couple pronounced man and wife, they still held on to eacn other’s hand and logked tor more. [he Justice cl sed his book and remarked “Well, I guess that’s the end of it.’ ‘This caused Clerk Moye to burstcut in a laugh and ald “I expect you ought to haye told them it isjast the beginumg,” amusing When the usual form The couple received cougratulations and took their depar.ure. Bicycie Path There are forty-eigl.t wheels in use in Greenville. I expect this number to be doubled in less than a year. Our streets are poor for riding the bicycle. Wheelmen, let’s have a track ? Why no: build a double track from Five Points tothe county gate on the old Piank rvad, It could te done at a reasonable cost by using this patent paving material now being made in this county. Atrack of that meterial tour teet wide, vould be a fire place for the health giving whvel.» If all owners of wheels will share it, then the cost would be ‘ight to each one, and they would actually get such, cost back iu less than a year by saving the wear and tear on the Bicycle. Riders of wheels, what do you say? Let us get together and devise some plan to get a path. WHEELMAN, Guan Your Cemetery Lot. Councilman A. J.

Business failures in the second , quarter of the present year In- volved liabilities to an aggregate of $43,684,876—a8 larger amourt ‘than that of the corresponding period in any other year since 1893. The increase was due to the Aprii crash among the New Bedford cotton mills; and *but for those additions the amount -javolved in the quarter's faiures would have been smalier than that ofany recentyear. Without the cotton mili failures the cur- rent returns of the commercial agencies might be considered highly encouraging. according to R. G. Dun & Co., these excep- tional failares in one month ex- ceed those in cotton manufactur- ing in the whole country for three entire previous years. Considered in the light of this statement the failure list indicates a tendency to greater solyency yn generai business. The worst disasters of the quarter aud of the half year were due to the effects of the depression and losses of previous years, from which many had not had time to recover. With improving busi- ness conditions throughout the country the subsequent records of commercial insolvencies should steadily become more favorable. —Philadelpyia Record: eee The Origin of Trusts. According to the report of a recent interview ina Yew York paper, John Sherman has an- nounced that he is opposed to trusts and other combinations in restraint of trade. Such an announcement, coming from John Sherman, may mean that he is in favor of them. Those who are familar with his public career know that no confidence can be placed in uny statement he may make. This, which was true of him in his prime,is doubly true now that the shadows of old age and oblivion are gathering over his mind and memory. _ My, Sherman is the author of the secret legislation which demonetized silver, and which has made trusts in this country possible. He now says that the anti-trust law can be 20 amended aa to destroy the trusts, but this 18 & statement that means noth- ing. Trusta are the natural outcome of the contraction of business, trade and profits due to the contraction of currency. : The theory that a prohibitive law ean be made effective is a fallacy | the face of it, for currency contraction drives all business ; and all capital into concentrated nnele, and this movement is, in the pature of np irrqati Ju try a 10c.

An endeavor has been made to expluin this condition by the factthatthe smoke discharged from tricity assembled around the building along and distributes it in the air‘ whereby the source of attractign fcr the electric spark of lightning is not only diminiah- ed, but almost disappears, This fact also eqplains, it issaid, why people in the country kindle a large fire in the fireplace when a thunderstorm is approaching. ad Frayea for Rain. At the openings of Sunday morning’s service at the Kpiscoe pal eburch Rev. Dr. F. J. Murdoch offered up in his prayer a petition for rain. Before the services were concluded it was raining, Dr. Murdoch then offered up a prayer in thanks for the rain.

The youpg men are in desperete straits. They must either give up going to church altogether, which won't he!p them with the young ladies. or they must “do the proper thing” when the bas- ket and vhe belle come around.
