Sugar Scandal.
When Senator Tillman, Dotna

eavored to question Senato
'handler, the latter suggestet
li.it the South Carolina S??nato
bscrve the rule of sitting dowi
uring the reply.
"When you play hall you al
rays stand up,'' said Senate
'illtnan, amid laughter.
Senator Chandler went on P
ay that if there were any Sena
ors who hail engaged in specula
ion of sugar stock?which Uoc
orbid is the case?then foil
ears have obliterated the evi
nee. The old investigation hat
ailed; the tree had fallen and i
light to lie. It would be a pre
losterous proposition, he said

As Senator Tillman closet
there was no applause, but fo
a second there was a stir in thi
i- gallery, which promised some

j The Columbia papers of Saturday
last gave glowing accounts of
the graduating recital of Miss
Margaret Humphreys of this
place. The following highly cotnli
plimentary allusion thereto an
peared in the News and Courier's
t. Columbia correspondence :
"The hall of the l'resbyterian
College for Women was tilled tonight
with one of those brillianl
1 and recherche assemblages ot
?. visitors so characteristic of the
audiences at this institution. The
. occasion was the graduating re'
cital in piano of Miss Margaret
t Humphreys, of Lancaster. Most
u difficult and classic pieces by
( Had), Schumann. Chopin, Rubenstein
and Mendelssohn were
0 rendered in a most finished
and masterful style. It is rare
that so young an artist receives
such an ovation as was given Mist
Humphreys. The College is noted
i? fur having inspired so many of its
music pupils to devote their ltvef
to this art and to pursue their
studies abroad. Miss Humphrey*
' bids fair to rival tlie best that
have gone out from its halls. It
i- well the first graduate of music
under the new regime of the
College should be one whose
natural gifts and diligent study
t reflects -mdi credit on teachei
{ and pupil."

all efforts to check it. My

MBfi swollen that for <juite

, said I had Cancer of
the most malignant
type, and after exyv"
Ow ^ liaiisting their efforts
without doing me
any good, they gave
up the case as hopeless. When informed

"At this crisis, I was advised to try
I S.S.S., and in a short while the Cancer
; began to discharge and continued to do
so for three months, then it began to
| heal. I continued the medicine a while
I longer until the Cancer disappeared entirely.
This was several years ago and
there has been no return of the disease."
