It gives a close and interesting view of the home life of the great soldier and statesman. "The Flower Fetes of California-''| and "Getting Good Pictures of Children" are striking pictorial features, and "Ineide of a Hundred Homes" is full of artistic suggestions for the practical housewife. Edward W. Bok protests against the niggardly contributions of a penny to cburcb collections, and gives the working-girl advice as to where her bc6t chances are to be found. Lilian Bell finds much to admire in the French women, and some despicable traits in the French men. She writes of both with customary frankness in her Paris letter. "The Inner Experiences of a Cabinet Memb?i'8 Wife" increases in interest, as does Hamlin Garland's serial, "The Doctor," now nearing its conclusion. A valuable service is rendered by Mrs. S. T.

The word consumption means wasting away, and dyspeptics often waste away as badly as consumption. The reason people waste a*ay is because either they don't get enough to eat, or ttey don't digest what they do eat. If the latter is your trouble, take Sicker Digestive Cordial.

Once again, and within a painfully short period, the Division Commander is called upon to announce the death of one of Soulh Carolina's most distinguished citizens, Gen. John Bratton. Whether his life's work i* viewed from the standpoint of the Confederate veteran, or that of the citizen only, it must be recognized that Gen. Bratton always did his whole duty with exactng faithfulness. Gen. Bratton, as a soldier, wa3 un surpassed in courage, equalled by few for coolness, and ability to command; his example to the men of "Bratton's Brigade" showed in the well earned reputation for discipline and fighting qualities won by that brigade, second to no'brigade in Lee's matchless army of Northern Vfrginia. As a citizeu, he was deemed worthy to be ODe of Hampton's closest advisers in redeeming South Carolina in 1876, and no county in the State was better organized than Gen. Bratton's home county of Fairfield. The comrades of the division will JUIU ill CAlCLiUIUg ILiUOL 1 blUi. uliu heartfelt sympathy to Gen. Bratton's only daughter, MiiS Isabel, who 60 graciously represented the division, as ' sponsor, at the reanion in Nashville in June, 1897.

Mr. Editor: I sec in your issue of January 27th a suggestion made by the Greenville News to substitute Calhoun for Clemson. It is said "the great statesman desired his home to become the property of the State." I snow, personally, mat is nut bo. Mr. Thos. G. Clemson was, at the time of the donation, so vilified by the Honorable Legislature and so many misstatements made about the gift that I think a true history of the fact might be interesting and a conclusion reached to let Mr. Clemson's name go down to posterity as a noble man and an honored son of South Carolina. Mr. Ciemson married Miss Anna Calhoun, oldest daughter of Hon. Jonn C.Calhoun; bat did uot receive Fort Hill as her dower. Mrs. John C. Calhoun owned Fort Hill after her husband's death. She sold the properrv to her oldest son, Andrew Calhoun, later, reserving a home with him. Mr. Andrew Calhoun was not able to meet the payments and Fort Hill was sold?a bona fide sale?to Mr. Clemson, and Mrs. Calhoun moved to Pendleton village to a small home of her own and Mr. and Mrs. Clemson took possession of Fort IJill. he matter of the disposition of Fort Hill was much discussed by Mr. Clemsob, and in lact, in a letter to Col. Rion, which I have, Mr. Clemson said Mr*. Clemson agceed with him that some disposition ought to be made of Fort Hill to preserve it for good She favored its being given for educational purposes. In Mr. Clemsor-'s first will he had decided to leave the nroDerty to the State, to be kept up by the State much iu the same manner as Mount Vernon, with a matron and twelve ladies of the State to act as regents, to keep the old home of John C. Calhoun in perfect preservation. Mr. Clemson worshipped his distinguished father-inlaw and lost sight of his oicn individuality in the thonglt of giving Fort Hill to the State. However, subsequent to this will, Mr. Benj. Tillman, the honest friend and well-wishsr to the agricultural interest of the State, visited Mr. Clem9on at Fort Hill and convinced Mr. Clemson that an agricultural college was the best disposition of this property. Mr. Ciemson thought a polytechnic school was the best, and yon see that hi3 own idea has finally been developed by the drift of progress. The endowment 01 a nanasome capital from Mr. Clemson's valuable personal property of $80,000 or more was of course to be set off by the State taking an interest in the matter and helping out a noble legacy. It would be a shame and disgrace now to change the name of Clemson College, for Calhoun bad no more to do with the property than the next man. Mrs. Jas. H. Rion. For Orer Fifty Years.

I, therefore, venture to send yo?a the following from Mr. Edward Pearson's "History of Fairfield." *Iu treating of the lives of the Fair field people the first place is due Col. Arromanus Lyles. He was the son of Mr. Ephraim Lyles, and was born in 1748, and was the first white male ?' rr oAfnA moarto USLlYtJ Ui 17 QliliClU* Jl/J ournv uivuuuj he obtained a good loglish education. He could write well,composed letters well, and was a good accoantant. He belonged to the Whig race and did not dishonor the school in which be wai reared. Like a trne !or?r of the soil, he mastered all his tnergies, and marched to the field of conflict, ar.d discharged his duties with perse ererce, fortitude and courage. Lie wa* a magistrate, and waa once almost unanimously elected to the legislature." He was thrice carried, firr. io Mia< Rebecca Valentine, who was the mother of her children, Ephrairn. John, James, Arrolnaum, Thomas and a daughter,* who married Rev. Moody, a Methodist minister of Kentucky. His second wife was Miss Means, a relative of that grand and good old man, Gov. J. H. Means. His third was Miss Kennerly. He died in 1820 and i? buried near Lyles' Ford,? the site yet owntd by his grandson Capt. T. M. Lyles. His sons were all worthy citizens of South Carolina. Ephraim and John settled in Newberry County, where some of their descendant" ;yt live. James immigrated t" m.c vVest, and I thought died there, tnough, a good many of his grandchildren are residents of South Carolina. Arromaous and Thomas remained in Fairfield?the latter being honored several times by his fellowcitizens in being claeted to the legislature. Maj. Thomas |Lyle3 was no nrdinarv mm: he possessed a clear iu tellect, corabincd * with a fund of common sense and great integrity of character, that rendered him worthy of the trusts reposed 011 him. During the days of Nullification he was made captain of the Bnckhead troop; was afterwards promoted to the office of Lieutenant Colonel ot the Fairfield Regiment. His commissions are yet in possession of his grandchildren. He married Miss Mary Woodward, a granddanghtar of the "old Regnlaior" Thomas Woodward. Und.T a stern exterior, h3 carried a hea-t as tender as a woman's. I've heard him [ say, that when travelling in Ken tucky, he stopped Jtor toe mgac ai a house where there was a little cnild with whom he tried to be friendly. The father remarked, '*It is useless to notice her, sbe is very shr of strai gers." Mr. L^replied, 4Til bet five dollars she will make friends with me," a^d, in a sbort whiie she was sitting in his lap chatting as it she had always known him. He was a sincere patriot. During the late war, as he was too old to volunteer, he hired a substitute. A few days before Sherman's raid through this couuty, he fell, breaking his thigh, which, of coarse, confioea him to bed. The raiders thinking he j was feigning illness, brought fire and ] pat it under his bad, saying "we will ; burn you ont of this"?to which the j brave old man replied, "I ?annot gei J .up, but you cannot deprive me of many Woman's Diseases Are as peculiar as unavoidable j and cannot be discuss- >"? ed or treated as we do those to -which JBySfMsi} the entire human family are subject, j WjcEjK/' Menstruation sus- Ifw&ffli tains such import- SSji ant relations to her L ~ Wj health, that when SB'; j j Suppressed,Lrregu- <r[fill |> j 1\ lar or Painful, JyJ'J f | l\ she soon becomes fSajJ vA '< Y languid, nervous ********* and irritable, the bloom leaves her cheek- and very gTave complica tions arise unless Regularity and Vigor are restored to these organs.

It may interest som j of yonr readers to know thai, fonr generations of this family have served in the legislature, viz.: Arromanu3, his son Thomas, his grandson William L , his great grandson William H. in Richland caunty, and John W. in Fairfield.
