"It is now proposed to authorize postmasters and deputies tb open letters on which no postage stamps have beeu placed, to learn the name of the writer and avoid send ing them to the dead letter office. If all who write would have their names and addresses printed on the envelopes they use, as the post office department requests, no such trouble would result/' This would be imposing too great a task on postmasters, to read all the improperly addressed letters. Our <-l? friend Lake Till man used io say that it put bim to his trumps to read all the postal cards. The above clipping offers a most excellent suggestion. You wall be saved much anxiety, trouble, and perhaps dollars, by using an envelope with your name and address plainly printed in the corner, so that when you are careless in your direction or the party you seek ie- unknown, at the office addrassed, you will have the letter promptly returned to you. Good business men always have their envelopes printed, and private individuals should do the same. We will furnish you a nice quality of envelope, with name and address printed at corner, at the following prices : 60 cents for 100; $1.00 for 200. Larger quantities at proportinately lower rates.

JOHNSON'S CHILL AND FEVER TONIC Cures Fever las One Day. "Uncle Georere" Also. f'It seems that there is no longer 1 any doubt but that George D. Tillman will be in the race for governor. It was positively elated on the street yesterday, by one who is in position to know that Col. George Tillman has finally consented to re-enter politics. The following was also given out in 1 regard to Col. Tillman's plans: He will not make the race on an anti-dispensary platform, however, 1 as has been reported. His position on the whiskey question will be to allow each county to select for itself prohibition, high license or '' the dispensary, as it sees fit, this, in his opinion being true local self government and one of the fundamontal principles of democracy. He will also advocate a change in the present system of county government and make a 1 determined fight for the betterment of the public school system.. He 1 will run as a candidate of no fae- [ tio?, but with the hope that he may be able to reunite the democracy in South Carolina. Ha ! will not only promise to reduce taxes, but will reduce them. The people are groaning under this burden. For a long time Col. Tillman has hesitated to allow the use of his name, but it is said that the petitions and letters from all parts of the utate which hava been sent him asking him to make the race have finally caused him to decide to do so. Some people question on account of his age, his ability to make the canvass, but all such misgiving*, , his friends claim, are without 1 foundation, and the next campaign will be made hot by his canvass. He enjoys the best of health and 1 is as vigorous today as ever. There ie no longer any doubt whatever but that he is in the race to the 1 finish."-Ex. 1 Why take Johnson's Chill & Fever Tonic?

Aiken, Feb. 6.-The new Highland Park hotel was burned this morning between the hours of 4 and ll o'clock. The fire waa discovered in the laundry aud for two hours the impression was general that it could be extinguish ed without causing serious damge ; but the fire had worked its way between the walls, aud wheD the firemen least expected it broke out in several new places. When it was found that the hotel was doomed the guests were notified and succeeded in saving the greater part of their effects. The fire burned very slowly, and it was after 8 o'clock when all hope of saving the hotel was abandoned. The hotel had been added to during the last summer and about $75,000 spent, in returnishiDgs and additions. It was filled to its utmost capacity and it was indeed fortunate that the fire started in a part of the house not occupied as sleeping apartments. There were no accidents to any persons and very little of the personal effects of the guests waa lost. Among the guests at the. hotel were two of the owners, Mr. J. H. Whittemore of Naugatuck. Conn., and Mr. Farrell of Aiisonia, Conn. . The local fire department res ponded promptly when the alarm was given, and did very good work, but it was soon evident that they were not a sufficient force, and an appeal was sent to' Augusta for help, to which they responded quickly with two engines, but they arrived too late to be of anv ser vice. The -lay has been a busy one, as all of the "homeless" ones had to bo cared for, and the true hospitality of the Aiken people was shown io the way in which they were provided with all the 30mforts that could be gotteu. A ?umber of them have taken cot tages and the rest have gone to the boarding houses. The owners of the hotel say they will rebuild as soon as possible, und that within the next 60 days a, very good start will be made on the new hotel which will be of brick and a modern structure in 3vory sense. The building was insured for about $75,000 and the furniture for about $25,000. The building is a total loss, but a con siderable part of the furi'iture was 3aved. The loss is estimated at $140,000. The hotel was quite an old landmark, having been erect sd in 1869. It was managed until two years ago by Mr. B. P. Chat field of Hartford, Conn., and since that time by Mr. H. W. Priest of Magnolia, Mass. , ' During the excitement of the fire an altercation occurred in which Thos. Fallon of Boston, the engineer of the hotel, was shot by another of the employes, but the wound was not serious. The loss to the city by tho burn ing of this hotei is inestimable, as it is now at the very height of a most successful season, and a good mauy of ths people will find it impossible to get suitable accom modations.
