The visits of the steamer Tar Heel to eur city has brought out a bit of her captain's history. He is a col ered man, and is named John Swain McBarrows, and is a well to do in dustrious map.- with, an intelligent •Hatty. His good w'ilb it stewardess Uf the boat and his sonde engineer, etfc., but it is not of these we wlsffto write, but of his trip to Liboria. Several years ttgo John gathered his people and his hard earnings to gether, and*!>ut ont to New York and therewith about 150 more colored people, sot out for Liberia, Africa, then pictured as tho colored man’s havop of rest, by tho sea captains who wanted passengers to that shore. After a sail of about forty-two days the party reached Monrovia and af ter looking around for n short while, selooted a placo to locate, but Cap tain John said ho had already made up his mind that although Africa was his “father land” so to speak, ho for one preferred tho old hills around lluwkiuqvlilo to Anything ho saw there, and whilst foiling timber for a home ostensibly, his head was back in Georgia, and tho mail was bringing hack a letter to his white friends to send him tFe money to re turn. The money came and at the expiration of four months and ten days he wob again sailing on the mighty ocean, not for Africa but dear old Georgia. He says the costumes of that oonntry didn’t suit him. The climate was too hot and the natives wore too little clothing for a man who had any respect for decency, Jb SayA he didn’t want to aiayin any l 8 country whore plank woae mado with a whip saw, the process was to Blow. Be it said to the captain’s credit that as soon as he got homo he rais ed the money and brought back those of his comrades who were not dead. , Weighing the Mails. The government will commence weighing tho mail carried by the railroads in tho South on Febru ary *20th, in order- to determine tho compensation to bo allowed them for tho next four years. Tho mail will bo weighed on tho cars ev ery day for thirty consecutive days from the date of commencement to arrive at a fair average, and will be conducted by tho postal clerks, tho railroads having tho privilege of rep resentation to see'that the weighing is done correctly. The United States is divided into four districts, num bered from one to four. For thirty days in each year the mail is weigh ed in one of the districts, so that each district receives attention every four years, and has a re-appointment made of compensation allowed. On the 20th inst., the weighing of the mail on the, lttW.R R. will begin, and then we .shall know how it compares with former service. Beach Elected. The election for Clerk of the Supe rior Court yesterday was warmly fought, and every voter that could be gotten was brought out. There had been Qrar candidates in the field, but Mr. W. H. Rainey withdrew a few days ago, and about noon yesterday Mr. E. M. Dart realized that his chances were pour, so withdrew Jn fa vor of Mr. R. W. Thiot, and from then nntil night things were - lively indeed. At six o’clock the polls dosed, and the connting began, and by eight o’clock it was known that* Mr. J. L. Beach had won the day by nearly 100 votes.

We have received donations of bound books from Dr. C. L. Schlat ter, Mrs. D. T. Dunn and others, to whom the thanks pf the Association are due; and have been tendered by your Board of Directors. The Board of Directors sustained the loss by death January 2, 1888, of one of their members, Mr. H. C. Day, whose “entering into rest” we deplore, and a suitable expression of their sorrow has been passed and spread on the minutes on January 9, 1888. In conclusion allow me to express the hope that more public interest will be centered in the direction of our Library,.and that our member ship may be very largely increased during the current year.- Very Respectfully, *T.

Your Secretary and Treasurer bogs respectfully to report to you that during the past fiscal year there has been received from all sources the sum of $337.05, making! with balance received from former Treasurer on March 2,1887, of $28.04, a total of $365.09, and there has been expend ed in ail $361.54, leaving a balance on hand in treasury of $3.65. .The Association is out of debt, but, there is, as you perceive, almost no money in the treasury. Our membership is only seventy-six, and there may be noted a lamentable absence of pub lic interest in our Association, which has gone backward instead of for ward during the past year, as may be «een by comparing the receipts for 1866, with those of this report We have expended during the yefir $103.16 for new books, which, in their selection reflect credit on the Libra ry Committee, and have added some needed furniture and forntshings to onrRoom, which is now in good shape, and looks quite well. We have received during tbe past year donations of bound volumes from Dr. C. L. Schlatter, Mrs. D. T. Dunn and others, and the Advertis er-Appeal, Breeze and Brunswick Journal dailies have been tarnished by the publishers,' for which they should receive, the thanks of this Association.

Most of the republicans have their eyes on the treasury. A young official of Clarke county, this State, makes it a rule to give ten per cent of all he makes to the church.
