CHECKERED CAltKEK OK MR. K. C. ADS TEN Foster Calhoun Austin, of Brunswick, Ua.. reached his old home last Tburf-day. Mr Austin was reared In Due West, but has been in Due West very little during the past thirty years. He was graduated from Erskine College in the year 187U. After graduation he taught school one year near uowndesvllle. W. E. Bell was one of the pupils lu that school. In 1872 he went to Evergreen. Ala., where he taught in the Academy one year. In 1871 he went to Mississippi aud taught school at Cotton Plant. It. E. Robinson and D. W. Wise man. were among his pupils ai that school. In 1870 he went to Pout a toe. Miss, where he wax principal of the Pontatoc Male Academy, until the (all ol 1S80. In that year he removed to Florida, locating at Orange City, where he engaged in real estate business until lss5, when he entered the practice ollaw with au office at DeLand. There he remained until May 1896, when on account of Irequent destruction ot orange groves, lie moved to Brunswick, (Ja., and opened a law ollice. Not being pleased with that city he Is now making ready to take his family, wileund one boy, twelve years old, to L.os Auueles, California. During his residence iu Florida, he bought government laud and founded in 1SS9, Coronado Beach, one of the finest and most popular summer resorts in the state. He still owns a large pan of this property. In 1S83 he also founded at Auburndale, about half way between Sanlord and Tampa. Mr. Austin was general manager of the Atlantic, and Western railroad, from 1S89, to 1S91, but resigned on account of growing law practice. He was a classmate of Judge Ira B. Jones, and J. C. Hemphill. He is full of energy and ambition and has attained deserved success, in Florida he accumulated considerable property, a good portion of which he still owns, and from which he expects to realize handsomely at sometime in the future. Mr. Austin came to Due West to visit his mother for a few days. Monday morning he left Due West and returned to Brunswick. Next Monday 15th, Inst, he will begin his journey of three thousand miles to his far away home on the l'aciflc Coast. We trust his fondest hopes may be realized and his every dream become an actual fact. PERSONAL. Mr. Wbortoo, a wealthy gentleman from Spokane, Washington, is visiting bissiBter.j I. .1 .

THE PRESS. Absorbing the Opinions of it Newspaper. Marrion Star. In discussing this question we are apt either to underrate or overestimate the Influence of the public press. It we are not at-soclaied with r newspapar in sorue way, either by reading it or in some other way we naturally conclude that a newspaper has no influence. And If we come within the above class we are excusable for taking this view, but tnere is no reason for belonging to this class or to the other class that comes within another classification, and for reasons that are patent to almost every oue. We have reference to the Individual that confines bis reading to a single newspaper?imbibes its views and parades them as his own. Editorial Opinion of the Political Future of Cuba. Cuba will ultimately be a part ol the United States.?New Haven Leader. Events and conditions are developing to force upon the Cubans the conviction thdt they are not so necessary to the United Stales as the United States is necessary to them.? Nashville Journal. With support being given annexation by Cubaus, it will be but a short time befoie all, except the class of ambitious politicians, ther<. will favor the plan,lor all will come to see that there is no other safe course for them to pursue.?Boise Statesman. Juan F. Jova, a Cuban who has served his country favorably, writes : "I cannot see the possibility of prosperity forCuba without annexation to tlie United States." This much is certain; though the plea of nn/l fAfolon liwAulnru w 111 tlOL UUpilttilBia auu i\s?w*bi* fvw?.w ..... determine our policy, the island will never be given over to anarchy again.?Chicago Times-Herald. The Cubans already realize that their future welfare can be guaranteed to them only, through the closest and most friendly relationship with the United State*, It not by actual association with their government as a part of it. ?Springfield State Journal. The sooner that Cuba can become a part of the United States peaceably the better It will be for the island and also the United States.? Westmoreland Recorder. That Cuba is destined to be a component part of the United States few reflecting people doubt. The best thing that can happen to that people as a whole Is speedy and irrevocable annexation.?Wachita Eagle. No one doubts tbat Cuba will ultimately be annexed.?N. O. Dally Pleayune. Tnat It Is the ultimate destiny of the Cuban people to be Incorporated with our republic we think no Intelligent observer of the events of the world doubts?Boston Herald. Cuba ought to belong to Uuole Sam?and It is probable that It will In a few years ask for annexation.?Warren Hegister. The destiny of Cuba is annexation to the United StateR.?Minneapolis Times, The true position for Cuba is within the American Union, and The Star believes that sooner or later that will be her destiny.?St. Louis Star. When the question is raised, "What is the best thing for Cuba and the Cubans?" the answer is "Annexation." This will continue to be the trutb whatever happens.?Kansas City Star. The Late Mrs. D. Wjntt Aiken. Greenwood Journal. This estimable lady died at the home ol her sister, Mrs. O. F. Simpson, in Atlanta, last Tuesday morning at live o'clock. The 'first announcement of her illness reached Greenwood Monday nUht whereupon her son, Mr. David Aiken left at once for her bedside. Mrs. Aiken spent Christmas here with ber sons and her good health was tbe subject of comment; but, taken with pneumonia, In less thun a week she was cut down. Mrs. Aiken was a Miss Hmltb, of Abbeville. She was a worthy companion of most estimable husband, the late Col. D. Wyatt Aiken, alike distinguished In war and In peace. We have long fell that Col. Alfcen was one of the purest and best men that we have ever bad In Congress. Only a short while ago, we were looking at bis grave and lelt that Greenwood ought to feel honored In having the body of this distinguished citizen burled witbin her gates. The casket containing Mrs. Aiken's remains reached this place Tuesday evening, and were borne to the residence of her son, where they remained until Wednesday afternoon, when they were carried to the Presbyterian church. Dr. Naif conducted the ser vices in which he was assisted by Dr. J. Lowrie Wilson, after which the body was laid to rest in the city cemetery. Mrs. Aiken leaves eight children, Messrs. David and Joe Aiken, of this city; A. M. Aiken. Jr., of Chester; Wyatt Aiken, of Abnevllle; Mrs. G. W. Taylor, ol Greenville; Mrs. W. G. Neville, of Yorkvllle; Mrs. S. R. l*i Mellaril, of Virginia, and one single daughter, Miss Nancy Aiken. SCANDALS IN THE NAVY. Cape. NcUownn and Commander Very Suit! to be in Trouble. Boston. Jan. 20.?A letter received from a naval ollicer at Manila, dated Dec. 12. says that two scandals In the United States squadron are causing general talk. One is the shooting of a Filipino on board the Monadnock by CaDt. McGowan. because the man climbed over the side of the vessel forward instead of aft as demanded by naval usage. It is maintained tbat the captain iutended to fire over the man and 6care him, but he was bit in the hip and died soon afterward. The other subject of comment Is the fact that S. W. Very, of the Castlne, uo to the present time, has had every officer on the vessel with one exception under suspension, and one of ihem has objected. Although the authorities desire to quiet proceeding, the officers will have to be heard, and the matter will be carried to the department at Washington. CUPID'S TRICKS. .? Euiruifeniciit KinitN ? Wfilillnic Pre* NeulH of Uold, Silver autl Cut GIbhn. We have conclusive reasons for believing that cupid is conducting an unusually vigorous campaign In our midst and the seed is being sown for a big crop ol weddings. K. C. Be i nau the jeweler informs us tbat he sold last month a great many rings that had the appearance of engagement rings, although some of the bashful purchasers claimed they were for "sisters." As such sales are business secrets be absolutely refused to give names, but several cost over S25.00 each, which would indicate that some of the Orlandos have confidence in the constancy of their Rosalinds. Bernau says prices for engagement rings range from 8150.00 to $1.00. but thai rirl<>?n nrn no measure of affection. OilDld would seem to be a silent, but very efficient p?rtner of tbeJewelers, even If au expensive one to th? lovelorn. Bernau also nays be has provided for a fine stock of silver, cu' glass, va*es and other suitable weddlug presents, and invites tbe frieuds and relatives of the happy couples to look around as he is sure tbey can find something that will suit thel taste and purses. Any single life is short, and it may seem to be unimportant as the world goes, but it is a link in tbe chain of generation* of life. The value of a particular life is often in the fact that it is a connecting link. Trespassers. ALL persons are forbidden to trespass on our lands.

It la tlie Jack of All Tradea of till Human Body. The liver is the jack of all trades of the r>ouy. jrioss organs are sansuea wit a ao- | ing their own particular business, "one j man one job," but there would soemto be quite four or live distinct functions for this important organ. In the first place, each one of its millions of minute cells acts a3 a filter, guarding tho portals of the blood from intrusion. Our food may have undergone the ordeal of digestion, but before it is allowed to circulate and nourish the body it must be carried to the liver, which examinee and promptly eliminates any particle likely to be injurious to tho health. Then, again, as a tonio manufacturer the liver is without a rival. It prepares a special medicine, and every now and again sends a dose to the stomach to induce it to work properly. Whenever the liver has a < little time to spare from its other duties it manufactures a stock of this medicLo* (the bile) and 6aves it up in the gall bladder until required. Moreover, the liver selects all the insoluble fats of our foods and by dividing them into very tiny globules and making a soap of them with an alkali so liquefies that they can be absorbed in the ordinary way. The superfatted livers of the 'Strassburg.geese (used in making the famous pate de foie gras) have been so overworked that they have entirely lost this DnnnmalrlT>ff YWYWP.TV One of the most carious things done by the liver is to, deal with any starchy substances that a* insoluble and gradually transform them into a strange material that is found riowhere else in nature? namely, animaj-Sugar. This sugar (glycogen) cannot be imitated by the most clever chemist, and it is carefully saved in the body so a^to compensate for any deficiency in the tnpply of tbp ordinary kind. Whether weijfeonsider tne liver as a filter or a soap boilflt or an apothecary or a sugar maker, we find it doing each kind of work as though that one were its sole care.?New York World.

This Is due lo several causes, to wit: . Some .School Districts overdrew ihelr apportionment lor the previous year, and the overdraft was deducted from the present apportionment. In some districts fewer pupils have been reported, the total number of children, however, has been Increased which decreased the per capita rate. The main cause ol a decrease in fund Is the fact that the apportionment for last year (through au oversight) wan more iban the lands actually on baud.
