TEMANWl% -ADM. ;WEDNESDAY MARCH 28. 1888. .Wofford College in Charleston. It is understoodthat Prof. Daniel A Du Pre, of Wotford College, will come to Char leston during:the Floral Fair, and be ac companied by the present senior class of ,that college. The special purpose, besides: ,the pleasure incident to the trip, of thet visit .of Prof. DtiPh e atudthe senior cltss will be to visit the phosphate works aron. Char leston, and probably:to .visit theo several foci of the old earthquPke and ft:r other rcientific obs, ryations. It .will be remaem1 bered that Prof. )a~re took the last senior class in Wofiord to Washington lait year, the principal purpose of that trip being-t visit.the Smithsouiinn Institute. The visit :to Charleston is doubtless being looked for .ward to with great pleasureby the students and their profes -or. They will be warmly welcomed by the people of Cha;dleston. .ews and Courier. The Queen Losing Her Mind. LoNDOs, March 24.-It would be hardly -worth while to notice the reported rumor of the critical mental condition of Queen Victoria, had it not been so frequently re iterated in the last few days, and did not circumstances give a certain :ir of proba bility to such assertions as have been so .prevalent at different periods since the death of the Prince Consort. The Queen's ecentrcities have been so marked that a project of the regency has been seriously considered, but such action has been re garded as unneecessray, so long as her con duct did not continue to transgress the bounds of propriety. It is now said that recent events have markedly developed her Majesty's tending to melancholia. The excitement consequent upon the death of Emperor William, and the ascent of her daughter to the proud position which she now occupies, have affected her visibly. They Nerer Will be Missed. After you get angry and stop your paper just poke your finger in water, pull it out and look for a hole. Then you will know how sadly you are missed. A man who thinks a paper cannot thrive without his support ought to go off and stay awhile. When he comes back half his friends will not know that he was gone,- and the other half will not car a cent, while the world at largo kept no account of. his movement. You will find things that you cannot en dorse in every: paper. Even the Bible is rather plain andbits some hard licks.. If you were to get mad. and burn your Bible the hundreds of presses would still go on printing it, and when you stop your paper and call the editor. names, the paper will still be published, and what is more--yotu wi read it on _= . c eo e-(b-iww Big Caroban Pines. In a private letter to a gentleman in this city from C&.:John B. Whitford there is an amount of some forest giants lately meas ured in Greene and Wilson counties, on Conten Ceek. One pine tree measures 22 feet in circumferenee, and would make a stick of timber, solid. heart, 6 feet square and 35 feet long, or' straight-edge plank 6 feet wide and 35 feet long. Another pine measured 18 feet in circumference and 100 feet to the rst .branch. Soine white oaks were measured and would make planks 2 feet wide and 60 feet long.

A., (Balaam's Ass,) has again spoken and will continue to do so, savs he, as long as Office Holder is in the tield for any office. To this I have no objection so long as he con fines himself to the truth; but I do seriously object to his crowding with in one short paragraph five lies, to wit: 1st, he says I managed to get a meeting after the night train had passed. Everybody here knows toi meeting was duly advertised some day previous. 2d, he says I managed to get myself nomiuate.d. I can prove by the 21 voters present that I so licited no mau's vote or intimated in any way that I wished the nomination. 3d, he says that I found I could count on the end of my finger all the votes I could get. Now I am no politician and therefore don't know much about this but I have been informed by those who are pretty good judges that bad the election gone on the regular ticket would have been electel. 4th, he says I had my deputy declare the election illegal. 5th, he says there was a dearijohn for the occasion. Were it necessary I can pricure certificates proving each and every one of the above assertions false. I am now done with this subject unless B. A. wishes to pursue it fur ther, in which case I will let the peo pie know why be commenced this uncalled for attack upon me. OFFIcE HoLDn. The Dulty of Parents in Sickly Seasons of the fear. We commend the following testi imony as to the elicacy of S. S. S. in measles and fever, from one of the best known physicians practicing in Georgia. It will be seen that he strong ly testifies to the happy results accru ing from the use of this medicine in preventing the frequently very serious consequences that follow an attack of measles. The resultant effects of an attack of measles remain in the system for months, and unless great care is exercised the lingering poison in the blood will attack some vital part of the system, endangering life. We take great pleasure in giving the widest possible circulation to this em inent physician's candid and manly letter written in the cause of suffering humanity. Eiuv r , G.., March 31, 1887. My.dear Sirs--I have used your S. S. S. medicine with exceptional benefit on patients convalescing from measles. A feature of that disease is that it leaves the mucous membrane chronically inflamed-that is, the in flamation continues from four to six months. I have given it to several patients just getting out of bed from the measles, and always with the hap piest results. I also used S. S. S. in convalescent fever cases with the best result. It will, in my judgement, prevent sum mer dysentery, if one will take a few bottles in the spring, thus preparing the bowels for the strains of sum mer. I am prompted to send you this letter, because just now I am aware that measles prevail in Southwest Georgia. While I hesitate to appear as a voucher for proprietary remedies, S. S. S. has beoome such a standard medicine with many regular physi cians, that I am relieved of the em barrassment ordinarily attached to a regular physician's endorsement of proprietary medicines. Besides the claims of -suffering humanity are greater than selfish professional ethics. Yours sincerely, Treatise on Blood and Skin dis eases mailed free. For sale by all Druggist. The Swift Specific Co., Drawer 3, Athinta, Ga. G~ood Advic to the Negro. It is reported that a large number of so-called agents are at work in the Southern States. Their objects is to persuade the colored people that they can make their everlasting fortunes by emigrating to Brazil. The most remarkable yarns are told of big~ crops, big wages and big money gen erally. It won't work, though. The negro is not as simple as some folks take him to be. He has heard of the old adage, "Out of the frying pan into the fire," and has altogether too much sense to make himself an illustration of it. Of course there is a good deal orl poverty' amonag the blacks of the South. Still, we venture to say that no three or four millions of people in their peculiar circumstances ever did so much in twventy years to better their surroundings. Nothing could~ be more depressing tha'n the condi tion in which they found themselves at the end of the war. It seemed iai possible, even to us of the North, for them to get any grip on American' life agd ambition for at least a couple of generations. 'But they have made steady and. in many instances, re markable progress. The money they have saved, the thrift they have man ifested, the celerity with which they have fitted themselves to the ne& cir cumstances, are clear proofs that time will make all things straight. 'T.he Brazil scheme is a delusion. and a snare. -It is a spider and fly arragemnt;and the colored man can ake ore~ashand vastly mr progress by sticking to his home than by the most promising exodus that ever appealed to his imagination.

After a while a zough sets in, at. first dry, but vster a few monthS it is attend d with a greenish-colored ex )ctoratifon. The patient feels ;red all the while, and sleep -oes not seem to afford any :est. After a time he becomes 'iervous, irritable and gloomy, .md has evil forebodings. There is a giddiness, a sort of whirl inig sensation in the head when rising up suddenly. The bow el; become costive; the skin is dry and hot a tiues; the blood I becomes thick and stagnant; the whites of the eyes become ringed with yellow; the urine is scanty and high colored, de positing a sediment after stand ing-. There is frequently a <;pitting up of the -food, some tine;s with a sour taste and so:etimes with a sweetish taste; this is frequently at, tended with palpitation of the heart; the vision becomes im paired, with spots before the eyes; there is a feeling of great prostration and weakness. All of these symptoms are in turn present. It is thought that narly one-third of our popu lation has this disease in some of its varied forms. It has been found that phy sicians have mistaken the cause of this disease. Some have treated it for a liver complaint, others for kidney disease, etc., etc., but none of these kinds of treatient have been attended with success; for it is really constipation and dyspepsia It. is also found that Shaker Ex tract :> Roots, or Mother Sei gel's Cutrative Syrup, when properly p~repar~ed will remove this disease in all its stages. Care must be taken, however, to secure the genuine article. IT wILL SELL BETTER THAN COTTON. Mr. John C. IHemptinstall, of Ohulafirmee, Cleburn Co., Ala., writes: "My wife has been so munch benefited by Shaker Extract of Roots or Seiger's Syrup that she says she would rather be without Part of her food than without the medicine. It has (done her more good than the doctors and all other medicines put together. I would ride twenty miles to wet it into the hands of any suf ferer if he can get it in no other way. I believe it will soon sell in this State better than cotton. TEsT~iONY FRoMI TEXAS. Mrs. S.iE. Barton, of Varner, Ripley Co., Mo., writes that she had been long afilicted with dyspepsia and disease of the urny organs and was cured byShaker Extract of Roots. Rev. J. J. McGuire, merchant, of the same place, who sold Mrs. Barton the medicine, says he has sold it for four years and never knew it to fail. SHE WAS AL3MOST DEAD I was so low with dyspep sia that there was not a phy sician to be found who could do anything with me. I had fluttering of the heart and swimming of the head. One day I rea l your pamphlet called "Life A mong the Shades," which described my disease better than I could mnyself. I tried the Shaker Extract of Roots and kept on with it until to-day I rejoice in good health. Mrs. M. E. Tinsley, Bevier, Muhlenburg Co. Ky. For sale by all Drumggists, or address the proprietor, A.

In all work done, in whatever department, and whatever the extent of ground covered, our motto shall always be Thoroughness. To this end, we shall requir e that every lesson be learned, if not in time for the class recitation, then elsewhere. No real progress can be made so long as the pupil is allowed to go on from day to day reciting only half-perfect lessons TERMS PER MONTH OF FOUR WEEKS ; Primary Department (3 years course),..................... $1.00, $1.50, and $2.00 Intermediate Departmuent (2 years course),............... ..... .......... 2.50 Higher Departmient (2 years' course),......................... $3.00 and 3.50 Collegiate Department (3 years' course),... ....... ....... ... ......$S4.00 and 4.50 Music, including use of instrument,.................................... 3.00 Contingent Fee, per session of 5 months, in advance,....................... .25 Board per month,................................................... 8.00 Board from Monday to Friday (per month)............................50 T O P..
