gentleman who lias taken a prominent
part in the society for a number of
years suggested that the organization
was about to go to pieGes. It is hoped
that the ci:izens of the c :mmnnity will
come to the rescue of this historic
)
organization, and save it from dissolution.
A great public duty will be
grossly reglected if this community
sits quietly aud a'lows a *.eciet\, cnce
so useful in t^e educational worui, ro
disintegrate It 13 a society 1 hat has
bcjn known not only in th'S Stale for
over a century, bnt it ha* m ??<e Winnsboro
known in other St*te<. Once it
gave to Wianfcboro a prominent culture,
and it can be made ol gieat
benefit to the town even now. While
our prospects tor material prosperity
are brighter than they have ever been,
this, above all other time*, is the time

IV CU^Vt I WUVU
Monnt Zon Society. Aside from
mere sentiment tnrroutidiojx the old
organization, [substantial reasons for
its existence ate not wanting, aiul we
repeat tha: it wiil be a reflection upon
the cuitnre of the community, if we
shall become so indifferent as to ail jw
the old society to become defuiict for
the}want of interest. Its h'Ster. is
th? be-t part of the history of Winnsboro.
We hope that this reminder of the
danger threatening will serve to
awaken new life, z*a! and enthusiasm,
and rescue from ruiu tbe organization
that should le the peculiar pride of
ou: bVoric old town.
Tde c^o;!t7 papers furnish an encouraging
sign. Nearly every one of
them have something to say about
"the flour mill." Tuis means that the
~ ~ ? HI . i ai,/1 pflf f V?oi r*
i&I'LLiei'S WIU ^:aui ? uuai auu tag ?uvu
own flour. The Yorkville correspondent
of the News and Courier
gives some information in making
? flour that most housekeepers and consumers
of flour do Dot kuow. The
so-called "fancy pitent" flour or exceedingly
wliie fbn:* is not the most
wholesome. What's ealied "rtrai^Lt"'
flour contains, explains tbc correspoudent,
"every particle of nutriment
in the wheal; everything connected
with the wheat being used except the
skin or busk." He states that in York
the patrons of the hom3 raiil call for
' the straight" fljur, with very few exceptions.
It seems that it is not the
whitest biscuits that are t!ie most
nutritious. The correspondent concludes:
"Fancy patent flour is sold in
grocery stores as the finest product of
the mills, and so far as appsarance3 go
it is everything claimed for ir, but it
is sadly defisient in nutritive qualities
for the reason that the process by
which it is made separates or removes
the kernel, which contains the strengthgiving
phosphates, and v. is removed
because it is a dark brown color, and,
therefore, must be discarded if whi e
flourjs what is wanted. It is estimated
thit there are about twe ve
poundsot the necessary ingredients in
a bushel of wheat suitable for fancy
? flour. The balauce?26 to 32 poundsis
made into lower grades."
><Some people wi'l wear fehoes too
tight for appearance, and often in
i matter of dress we sacrifice, health and
comfort merely for outward show, and
such people will doubtless do the same
thing in their diet. Sensible people,
however, will profit byNa knowledge
of what is wholesome, withont so
much regard to its appearance.
Perhaps it is a goo I thing that the
war tax will probably stay with us a
good long time, for it will tend to
warn the people against the dinger
of militarism and check the tendency
to depart from the cardinal principles
of our government. The people need
something to arrest the evils of expansion
and of meddling into the
affairs of foreign countries.
A dispatck from Washington to the
etlect that a plan to extend lh-3 levy
of the war tax to other things besides
tho.^e now coming within its provi?
ions woum luuicaie mai iuu ia.x is iu
be continued. It is repotted that "the
Internal Revenue Boreau will recommend
a number of changes in ihe war
revenue act." "In the main, the law
has worked satisfactorily. * * One
proposition now under consideration
is to assess a tax on the sale or rental
w of all patent protected articles." "It
will be suggested," it is also remarked,
4:ihat express and telegraph companies
doiog a morey exchange business be
required to pay au annual tax for the
privelege." Telegrams and express
receipts are now taxed, bat the sender
has the tax to pay. The annua! tax
for the privelege of doing a money
exchange business could not so easily
be thrown npon the people. As it is
the telegraph and express companies
are paying no part of the war tax. If
" the nronosed amendment is atlonted. it
will pull some money directly from
the companies, which saems perfectly
fair. Ba^k and banking institutions
have the tax to pay, and it i? simple
jastice to require express and telegraph
companies to do the same thing.
The point we wish to make, however,
is that instead of di?ca3?in;>
when the tax will be lifted, the government
is considering how it inav be
increased. Oar Eastern possession,
to which we are having such a hard
time gaining possession, will come
very high. If a few months war with
Spain cost so much, how tnuch more
will several years of war n^ anst the
i Philippino3 cost. The proppects for
I relief from war taxes is not very enj
couragiD^.

; on the 24th prorogued it to the 15th

f j met on the 15th November when Gov.
; Montague who had returned sent a
" | message, calliDg on them to frown
1! down any attempt to stir up sedition
-1 in connection with the letters from
7 j Massachusetts and Virginia, in reference
to parliamentary attempts to tax
! the colonists, rand to do all they could
. to relieve the distress in the remote
settlements. It may be mentioned
1 here that the assembly passed resolu1
tions endorsing ;these letters and was
; promptly dissolved on the 10:h by the
j governor.
The election for this assembly was
* held on the 5^h and Cth October iu accordance
with their express resolu
t j tions. Tiie numoer in me Dacs coun21
try believing that their only remedy
lay through legislation came down in
' {lar^e bodies and offered to vote at the
parish churches in the different elec
i tion districts. Claudius Pegue3 was
elactfd from Saint David's, Moses
Kirklaiid, Aaron Loocock and Tacitus
> Gaillard from Saint James Goose
* Creek, aud others from other parishes.
" The following writs of election for St.
| | James Goose Creek will explain this
1 matter:
: . "We the underwritten do hereby
1 certify that pursuant to the within
" writ, Moses Kirkiand, Aaron Loocock
5 and Tacitus Gaillard were elected
" members of the Common's House of
Assembly, of this province, by a num
ber of men cominjr down from Sixa}
Gotha and Beaver Creek, and insisting
on a mht of voting as qualified free1
holder? within the parish; it being be?
yond a doubt that they were excluded
* irom St. Matthews, as its limits are
; specified around every part of it. They
1 directed themselves by the laws which
J mention its old bound3 and by which
; they appear to be excluded. With
I whatever precautions we thus might
1 act, we find ourselves liable to an error
* through the uncertainty of the limits
of the parishes. Under this dilemma
1 they thought that the mcst eligible

IS IT RIGHT
! For an Editor to Eecomm -nd Patent
I Medicines'?
From sylvan Vallev New*, Brevard,
n. a
It ma7 be a question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the righ: to
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as a preventive of sufihrin?
we feel it a daty to say a ?ood
word for Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have
known and ased this medicine in onr
family for twenty years aud have always
fonnd it reliable. Iu many cases
a dose of this remedy would save
bonrs oi suffering while a physician is
a.vaiied. We do not believe in depending
iinplicity on any medicine for
a cure, bnt we do believe that if a
bottle of ChamTTerlain's Diarrhoea
Remedy were kept on hand aad administered
at the inception of an at
tack much sufferiog might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence
of a physician would not be required.
At least this ha* been our esperi-nce
during the past twenty years. For I
