South Carolina College between, the students or that institution on the one side, and two or three policemen and the Columbia militia ' under command of adjutant gen \ eral Watts on the other. It seems!" that these grounds, consisting* ofjj about nine aeres have been re- ? served by the State for college i purposes and no outsiders have 1 authority to use them except by ' - %* - - ] permission from the College President. Gen. Watts obtained permission from Pres. Woodrow to review and inspect the Kichland Volunteers and Governors Guards j on Wednesday afternoon the 26th t but the inspection failing to come i off at that time, the Gen. and his 1 troupes appeared on the grounds Friday afternoon when they iound ! the college base ball team playing a match game with one of the % , city clubs The premises being j large enough for both the ins pec- j tion and five gaine, acting Pres. ^ Sloan requested Gen. Watts to ^ conduct his review in the east end of the grounds where the gameofthe students would not 1 be interf-ied with. This the (Jen. * consented to do, but in executing ' a field movement he commanded ( the troups to march accrossthe grounds previously occupied , by permission ot the college au- j | thorities, by the baseball players. The horse or one of Gen. Watts' ^ staff was struck by a for.l ball and Gen. Watts declared he would have the grounds cleared and gave Oo nrHor fn Pnl -Ti-?r??vi In march his battalion forward. This caused a general conflict in which clubs, | base ball bats etc., were freely 1 used and resulted in considerable J, blood shed by students', policemen j ] and Prof. Davis who, in the office ( of peacemaker, received a severe j i blow in the face from a policemans i club. Student D. D. McCal), of'; Bennettsville, received the sev-| erest injuries, having his skull!] fractured from the effects of which he may die. These are the i facts briefly stated and from , which it seems that adjutant Gen. < Watts is largely responsible for , the unfortanate affair. He as i sumed authority to break up a , game of base ball by college | students and ordered policemen to clear *he way for him where . he himself had no right, and which precipitated a most deplorable conflict. However, he is , holding himself in reserve and ' has not yet made a statement, i Unless he can change public sen timent, he will receive the deserved censure of the whole State and his office should be demanded of him.

A Missouri paper, to illustrate I he hopeful feeling thai some men have when they are in debt, telU dC a larmer *he owed Walt Perkins twenty-five dollars, and had wed him for years. One day he ' met Walt and said: ''Don't be uneasy Walt; I have the thing all fixed by which I can pay you." Walt asked him how he had got it fixed, and the old granger said. 'Well, Walt, if nothing happens, next year I hope to rise a good crop of corn, and I intend to trade some of the corn for a yoke of J r i DX6U, ana 1 Know ail cm man ill St. Charles coun'v that owns an old mare and he wants to trade her lor a yoke of oxen.

Why take Johnson's Chill & Fever Tonic? Because it cares the most stubborn case of Fever in ONE DAY. 1 ir,ft * Kven in these comparative! v J modern times a man is occasional {ly visible who sets tip tliut "ad| vertising don't p<?y yon." Many business men because they do not i constantly have before them tiiej tangibe! evidence to the contrary,1 because every customer does not' ask Ibr "That tlour I saw advertised," fail to discern that advertising does bring returns. How advertising's value is n j cognized by the best business men is strongly emphasized by a bill; now pending in the New York legislature to prevent misrepresentation in advertisements. The hill is being pressed by the very best class of merchants. They claim that unscrupulous and lying advertisers place them at a great disadvantage and pray that the; law may afford them protection. While declaring their own faith in advertising,thev insist that they should not be at the mercy ot j others who have no respect fori facts. In the end , and as a general rule, the legitimate and trurhful adveitisers will crowd out the, fakers but what stonger testimoni-! a 1 could be given to the value of advertising in itselt thanthirdeclaratiou by good basiness men that other men make money by the use of a fictitious "publicity?" ?Greenville News.

Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twentyfour hours; x sediment or settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it it positive evidence of kid ney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the bark, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Pr Kilmers Sw-mp-Root, the greati kidney remedy fulfills every wish i in relieving pain in the back kid j neys, liver, bladdler and evers J part of the urinary passagger. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, 01 bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate- The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Koot is soon realized.

I don't want any moie of your "protection" pills and don't see why they called a protection doctor again. It must have been by mistake. Women's I)rrw Coot Is Will Come High. The extremely high duties which Dingley prcj>osos to collect from women's dress soodn should be moro genet ally understood by the women of this country. It is they who must suffix most because of these duties. Here a;:e a few samples of the increased duties taken from a list prepared by Mr. P. II Worrall of the dress goods importing firm of Fred Bntterfleld & Co. of New York: "A wool and cotton cloth costing :n England Is. per yard, eqnul to 24 cents in our money, weighing 16 ounces to the running yard, costs under the present tariff 83.6 cents per yard, while aider the proposed tariff it would ccsl 67 8-16 cents per yard, "A wool and cotton cloth costing in England 2& 4d. per y ard, equal to iifl cents in our money, weighing 28 ounces to the running yard, and costing under the present tariff 78.4 cents per yard, would under the proposed tariff cost $1.4858 per yard. "An all worsted cloth, costing in England 2a. Id. per yard, equal to 50 cents in our money, weighing 16 ounces to the running yard, and costing nnder the present tariff 70 cents per yard, would cost under the proposed tariff $1,298 per yard. "A 32 inch black serge (cotton warp), costing in England 7 5-8d. per yard, equal in our money to 15.25 cents, weighing less than 4 ounces to the square yard, costs under the present tariff 22.87 cents per yard. Under the proposed tariff it will cost 30.07 cents per yard. "A 27 inch black sicilienne (cotton warp), costing in England 7 7-8d. per yard, equal to 15.75 cents in our money, weighing 8.7 ounces to the running yard, costs under the present tariff 28.62 cents per yard. Under the proposed tariff it wiil cost 33.92 cents per yard. Iniquitous Lumber Tariff. "The proposed tariff on lninber," the Boston Transcript (I?ep.) says, "is simply a measme to pick the pockets and crash the industry of a large, nsefnl and influential class of American citizens. It is uneconomic, unscientific, suicidal. The statements upon which this schedule was maae up are bduwu iu u?va wxu insidious and misleading. The result will be to strip the country not of an annually recurring income, but of its white pine principal, which at presgpt rates is within ten years of exhuuslA, and also to ruin a large class of business men in this country who deserve better things. It does not seem possible that men claiming to represent the people will permit such a measure to have the force of law. If they do, it will cease to bo folly and become iniquity."

With regard to Chairman Dinghy's admission that the duty on wool \?rll increase the price of wool, vha Karsas City Times says: "The consumer and not the foreigner, therefore, pays the tariff tax. It concedes aluc that the home producer puts up his prices arbitrarily. Mr. Ding ley'b own words wo a coufttssion that the Dingley bill ii a fraud and a robbery of tbe people for the benefit of the few individuals and corporations." Tbe most retroactive feature of tbe Dingley bill is the provision for paying back to tbe big manufacturers their campaign contributions. Same Place. ^ 0 ,T. N.
