The July quarterly report of County

shape. A balance July 5 of $6,592.72

credit of the county school fund, is
quite enough to tide the treasury over
until the collection of taxes begins
again. Before auother term of the

under way.

One of our gentleman friends who
has the hallway and eTery room of his
handsome residence wired and fur
nished with electric lamps says he
was wildly besieged by his whole fam
ily when he reached home Saturday
night after the electric storm, who im
plored that the new-fangled things be
removed instanter or they would all
likely be killed before morning. He
was told in dramatic language how the
awful thunder crashed and the forked
tongued lightning played on the
wires, penetrating every apartment of
the snug home, and how strictly provi
dential it all seemed that even one of
his loved ones had been spared to tell
the awe-inspiring tale. To cap all, the
connecting box had been burnt out,
the incandescent electric lamps would
not give forth their accustomed light,
and the entire household would have
been shrouded in darkness but for
their calling into requisition a few
cast off coal-oil lamps of other days.
All this and a good deal more like it
was poured into his oars in a perfect
chorus.
Our friend,who has all along been an
ardent friend of the new light system,
realized he was facing a crisis and for
a few moments was speechless. Then
his quick wits came to the rescue, he
broke out in a big laugh and ejaculated,
“ O, pshaw ! you don’t understand what
you are talking about. The electric
wires are what saved the last one of
you. I have just come from up town,
and they tell me that the lightning
struck a tree near Mrs. Storm’s, shat
tered the steeple of the negro Baptist
church, struck Seavey's brick yard and
dived into a big sink hole near John
White’s, and there wasn’t an electric
wire connected with any of these
places. Yes, indeed, it was the elec
tric wires that saved you, and we must
keep ’em in the house for future pro
tection.”
This unexpected stunner restored
quiet and confidence and the electric
lights are blazing in that home again
as cheerily as ever.

sufferer from diarrhoea, the frequent
attacks completely piostrating me and
rendering me unfit for my duties at this

salesman kindly gave me a small bottle
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. Much to my sur
prise and delight its effects were im

against the attack with a few doses of

been very satisfactory and almost com

pointed to draft and submit resolutions
expressive of the sense of the meeting:
J. W. McGrath, X. F. Hudson, J. W.
Ross, F. F. Becker and H. J. Grice.
The committee retired, and on re
turning, offered the following report,
.vhich was unanimously adopted :
Your committee on resolutions beg
leave to report that after a careful
consideration of the matter, it is re
commended that we adopt the set of
resolutions passed by the Mississippi
Compress Association at their meeting
held in Jackson, Miss., on May 20,1898,
a copy of which is attached hereto.
[The resolutions referred to are too
lengthy to be incorporated in this re
port, but will be published in full in
next week’s Leader.]
It is also resolved, That each and
every member present will change his
press to the uniform or standard size
of 24 x 54 inches in time for this sea
son’s ginning, and that he will use his
best efforts to induce his neighboring
ginners to do likewise.
Respectfully submitted,
J. W. McGrath,
N. F. Hudson,
H. J. Grice,
J. W. Ross,
F. F. Becker.
After a free and full discussion of
the subject in all of its phases, the re
port of the committee was unanimously
adopted.
It was further resolved to make this
organization permanent.
The Association then adjourned to
meet Tuesday, October 4th.
After adjournment, all the ginners
present were invited, as guests of the
Brookhaven Compress Co., to go to the
College and take dinner. Most of them
accepted, and the good feeling which
prevailed all round during the meeting
at the Court house, was accentuated by
the generous spread set before the
Association by Mrs. Chambers.

Saturday'* Tkundur Sturm.
A violent thunder storm visited this
community Saturday afternoon, and
the lightning played “hop scot" and
“hide and seek" among the telephone
and electric light wires in a way that
was “shocking” indeed to delicately
strung nerves.
The lightning struck a sycamore tree
near Mrs. Sarah Storm's, and that
good lady saw balls of electricity roll
down her hallway and all over the
yard. Mrs. J. M. Weems, living close
by, was severely shocked.
The steeple of the colored Baptist
Church was struck and shattered all
the way to the grounrf. Where the
bolt passed through the floor it was
set on Are and the building would
soon have been in flames, if a colored
man who was passing soon afterward,
had not discovered and extinguished
it before it gained headway. Fortu
nately, the main part of the church
was not injured, not even the window
glass broken.
The lightning also struck one of the
sheds at the brick yard, and that it did
not kill some of the hands who had
just suspended work for the evening
seems a miracle.
Telephone boxes and incandescent
electric lights were burnt out by the
sportive fluid without number.
It was “a hot time in the old town,”
so to speak, while the storm lasted.
Change* in A**e**ment of Lands.
Persons who wish to have changes
made in their land assessment should
come forward at the August meeting
of the board of supervisors and have it
done as provided by law. I shall not
make any changes on the roll. If you
have bought or sold any land during
the year you should attend to having
the assessment rectified.

County School Hoard Meeting.

County Supt.
Heath of Dr. Clement.
It is with sincere sorrow and regret
that we chronicle the death of our fel
low townsman and friend, Dr. J. C.
Clement, which sad event occurred at
his home in Columbia last Saturday
evening about 4 o'clock. His death
was sudden, being the result of a
drink of what is commonly known as
wood alcohol, and came as a terrible
shock and surprise to his many friends.
He had not been well for several days,
but was on the streets nearly all day
Friday, apparently as bright and cheer
ful as was his wont, and his death was
entirely unexpected. For the past
year he has resided in Columbia for
the practice of his profession, dentis
try, where he was getting considerable
work. He was a man of retiring hab
its, but of large heart and a most
kindly nature and disposition, having
nothing but good to say of mankind
and doing ail the good that he could
in his modest, unostentatious way. Dr.
Clemeut leaves a widow and one child
and other relatives. To them, in their
excruciating grief and bereavment.our
sympathy and prayers are offered. The
remains were carried to Purvis Sun
day, where they were interred by the
side of his little infant son.—Pearl
