B THE CHEROKEE CLUB.
I The meeting of the club held on
Past Tuesday morning was most
'pleasant and interesting. There
was a large attendance, and much
• interest a.-d enthusiasm. Mrs.
Mrs. Granger being absent, Mrs.
H. E. Cary, the first vice-president
presided, dispatching the business
with promptness and ability.
The treasury of the club is in
good condition, the debts paid up
and a balance on hand.
Mrs. Green reported for the li
brary committee, the library in
good shape: some new books have
been added lately, and others will
be bought from time to time.
The rag carpet for the library is
not yet made. The committee
want about ten more pounds .of
rags —Please, some one, help out.
►The carpet will have red as the
prevailing color and will add not
only to the comfort, but the beau
ty of the room. Mrs. Green is
most anxious to start the Library
Association and an effort will be
made soon to get the men intei
ested enough to join.
After the business meeting, a
delightful program on the current
events of the month was given.
The next meeting will be held
at the clvb rooms on the afternoon
of the 2ind, at three o clock, and
(will be in charge of the village im
provement committee.
The following resolutions draft
ed by the village improvement
committe and unanimously en
dorsed by the club, were sent be
fore the mayor and council on last
Thursday night. They speak for
themselves, and we all feel the
needs they recite.
PLEA FOR ORDER AND CLEANLINESS
BY VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT
COMMITTEE.
The following has been present
ed to the mayor and council of the
city by the village improvement
committee of the Women s club:
do the Honorable Mayor and
Council:
Gentlemen: The undersigned
represent the village improvement
committee of the Woman s club.
We are not all Methodists, but all
of us endorse that notable saying
of John Wesley, that “cleanliness
is akin to Godliness. A dirty
town indicates a dirty people, and
a dirty people are not fit for heav
en. The condition of your streets
and sidewalks and the bad odors
from some of the dens along them
are mortifying to all the ladies and
some of the men. Some of the
fences aldng the sidewalks that are
the most frequented are in a
shameful condition. Look at
those pailings near the Methodist
church on Ervin street and those
on Market, and there are many
others like them in different parts
( of the city. Your sidewalks are
a stumbling block to delicate wo
men and decrepid men. If the
town plumber digs across them to
lay a pipe he leaves a hill and two
hollows after every excavation.
The men do not care very much,
but the ladies do. We cannot
vote and do not wish to, but we
ask for a respectful hearing on the
propriety of havmg_axlvanjv_tovvn^

If we could have our way, the
sidewalks would be relaid in all
the bad places and be kept clean
from filth and diit and the negro
dens would be abolished or kept
in sanitary condition. Your mar
shall should be instructed to scat
ter the id’e loungers who gather
there and will not give the way to
respectable ladies. He should
stop negroes from smoking in the
postoffice to the disgust and an
noyance of the ladies who have to
go there. One bad odor is enough.
We cannot serenely breathe tobac
co and the odor d’afrique at the
same time.
Let the town awake to the dawn
of anew century and put on a
clean shirt, and do please compel
owners and tenants to hang their
gates on the inside. Some of our
good citizens are greatly annoyed

Endorsed by the club.
Two new members were at the
meeting, Mrs. Ambler and Miss
Jessie Cobb. New names are con
stantly being added and the club
is growing.
There is one rule of the library
which, unfortunately people aie
disposed to ignore. This is in
each book on the slip where the
number is recorded, and it is to
the effect that for books kept out
over two weeks a fine of two cents
per day will be imposed. It is un
pleasant to the lady having the li
brary in charge to have to insist
on the paywent of these fines, but
it is a matter of business entirely.
It is hoped that delinquents will
pay up. These little sums help to
pay the running expense of the li
brary. And when you get a book
which is beginning to wear out, do
please paste on the back, sew in
the loose leaves and help on the
good work.
A SMALL MAHER SOMETIMES
INVOLVES LARGE RESULTS.
There is as much difference in seed
Irish potatoes as there is in day and
night. Some potatoes make vines,
while others makes potatoes. We have
seed for which we pay in lots of ten
and twenty barrels, $1 <SO per bushel 40
cents per peck. We have other pota
toes we offer at $1,20 per bushel or 30
cents per peck.
Which would be more preferable? A
peck of potatoes that will make you,
when properly cultivated, 5 to 10 bush
els of potatoes, the seed costing you 50
cents, or a peck that will make j oil ten
bushels of vines and a few knotty
things not worth the gathering, that
cost you 30 or 35 cents. Would it not
be wiser to pay $2 per bushel for seed
that will insure good results, than to
have inferior seed donated you. East

GUARDING AGAINST GHOULS.
Possibility of Attempt to Desecrate
Victoria’s Tomb.
London, March 11. Apprehension
prevails here as to the possibility of an
attempt to desecrate the mausoleum at
Frogmore in which Queen Victoria is
entombed. Not content with a strong
guard of police that has until now kept
watch over it, by order of the king the
authorities have established a strong
military post there and soldiers are to
assist the police in future in keeping
guard over the body of the late queeu.
That the arrangement is to be a per
manent one is apparent from the fact
that a guardhouse of considerable di
mensions is being built in the immedi
ate vicinity of the mausoleum.

Birmingham, Ala., March 11. —The

i
Ll Hung Chany; Appeals to Other
Powers to Intervene In Ills Coun
try’s Behalf —Two Companies of
American Troops Remain.
London, Mry-ch 11.— The Times, in its
second edition, today published a dis
patch from Shanghai, dated March 11,
saying:
“It is reported, upon trustworthy au
thority, that Russia has notified China
that unless the Manchurian convention
is signed at an early named date she
(Russia) will withdraw the convention
and substitute harder terms in its place.
Li Hung Chang declares he is powerless
to resist, and has appealed to the United
States, Great Britain, Germany and
Japan to intervene in China’s behalf.
“Considerable uneasiness in conse
quence of the extreme friction is be
lieved to exist between the Yang Tse
viceroys and Li Hung Chang.”
Americans to Remain.
Peking, March 11. — Companies A and
Bof the Ninth United States infantry
have been notified that they are to re- i
main in China. Many Americans here
urge the legation to use its influence to
have at least two field guns and enough
artillerymen to work them left. They
say that during the seige these guns
would have been more valuable than
200 armed men, and that necessity for
their use is liable to occur again.
Many Chinese Main.
Germans report that in the recent en
gagement near Pao Ting-Fu 250 Chinese
were killed and four magazine guns
were captured. There were no German
losses.
The American field telegraph line
which was constructed here ceased op
erations and the wire has beeu coiled iu
preparation for shipment to Manila.
Despite the report that Li Hung
Cliaug is seriously ill and that his life
hangs by a thread, his physicians say
his condition would not be dangerous
except for his advanced age. They are
extremely hopeful of being able to bring
him abound again.
VICTIMS ARE BURIED ALIVE.
How American Sympathizers Are
Terrorized by Filipinos.
Manila, March 11.—The trial of the
nine natives charged with having mur
dered Quisimbing, presideute of Ca
lamba, because he was friendly to the
Americans, discloses how the insur
gents terrorized the natives even iu ter
ritory oebupied by Americans.
Members of a secret society known as
Mandoducats have systematically ab
ducted and killed Filipinos favoring
American rule. In two mouths the Ca
lamba Mandoducats killed 49 natives.
The victims are usually buried alive.
Fear kept the people silent. An
officer of General Cailes organized and
directed the operations of the Maudodu
cats in Oalamba, Binang and other
towns in the LaGuna province.
The ringleaders were arrested and
tried, and many suspects are held pend
ing an investigation. The arrests ef
fectually checked the operations of the
Mandoducats.
The verdict of the military commis
sion which is trying the cases has not
been announced.

HARRISON SERIOUSLY ILL.
Ills Physician Ssays the Crisis Is
Near at Hand.
Indianapolis, March 11.— The illness
of General Harrison, although not criti
cal at this time, is so serious that his
physician, Dr. Henry Jamison, yester
day six.mt most of lus time at his bed
side and called into consultation Dr.
Evan Hadley. Dr. Frank Dorsey has
for several days beeu iu constant at
tendance upon the ex-presideut Dr.
Jamison left the general last night at 10
o'clock, and a little later said:
“General Harrison was taken ill
Thursday with a chill. At that time
his ailment had all the symptoms of the
grip. There developed after that a
pretty sharp congestion in the left side,
involving the intercostal nerves and
also the pleura of the upper part of the
left lung. With that came lever, his
temperature rising 2 or3 degrees. There
was also increased respiration. He has
since been in the same same wav. He
has not been very uncomfortable. With
the exception of the pain suffered
yosterday, he has been suffering
but little i>aiu. His temperature is and
has beeu lor some hours about 102 3-5,
his respiration 30 to 36. and his pul-e
keeps at about 90. His puise is good,
but the upper part of his left lung is
more or less iuflamed. His danger lies
in the exteusion of this inflammation.
His mind is clear, although he is some
what iuclined to go into a sort of dreamy
sleep. When awake his mind is per
fectly clear. Ido not consider him iu a
critical condition at this time, but there
is some danger in the exteusion of this
inflammation. ”
Dr. Jamison said his patient’s condi
tion was such that a crisis would proba
bly be reached within 24 or 36 hours, at
which time he would either grow grad
ually worse or better. He thought there
was no danger of sudden collapse. The
greatest danger is due to his age, which
is somewhat against resistance of uu at
tack of pneumonia.
Ex*President Is Hopeful.
Indianapolis, March 11.— General
Harrison passed a fairly comfortable
night and his physicians announced this
afternoon that there Had beennoclmuge
for the worse. He slept until nearly 10
o’clock this morning, and when he was
aroused he said he felt a good deal bet
ter. t Saturday afternoon slight conges
tion of the left lung developed and it
was feared that pneumonia might be
coming on. This congestion was not so
pronounced this afternoon, aud the
physicians believe there is no danger
unless complications arise. The general
still has fever. He says himself that
the attack is only a slight brush, from
which he will soon recover. Members
of the Harrison family have not yet been
summoned.

BOERS FIGHT FOR BRITISH
Former Burghers Now Hearing Arms
Against Their Brethren.
Bloemfontein, March 11.—General
DeWet is reported to be moving north
ward steadily at the rate of 25 miles a
day, with a view of crossing the rail
way to the eastward. He should now
be west of Kroon stadt.
Several small commandoes axe in pos
session of tlie southeastern portion of
the Orange River colony, from winch
the garrisons of DeWetsdorp, Weponer,
Smithfield aud Rounville have been
withdrawn.
It is impossible not to be struck with
the fact that a great proportion of the
former enemies of Great Britain iu
South Africa now frankly throw iu
their lot with the British. Bradford,
Krooustadt and Bloemfontein compa
nies of ex-burghers are now bearing
arms against the Boers. They state
their object is not to operate against
their former comrades, but to defend
their hemes and property against ma
rauding bands. Every town iu the
Free State occupied by the British will
soon become a center of British influ
ence, extending a long distance in their
vicinity. Over 13,000 refugees tire now
within the British lines, and many of
them demand arms and permission to
take the field. If these requests are
granted, it will be easy to get 2,000 ex
burghers enrolled on the British side.
