It is as yet undecided to what -j ecial use it will be applied. ? The iew blacksmith shop, 45x24 feet and 12-feet high, will have three iorges 'anning.

This grand old 1 by the Sea, Glied with beautifol and r eu women, brave and cultivated men,' the laurels of the first Revolution green upon her brow, and the battle s of the late war still fresh upon her shi makes her tiie pride and boast of e1 true South Carolinian. This is the opportunity I have had to ihank yoi the splendid victory won in the camp; of 187S-a campaign based upon platform of white supremacy, hcnest ? eminent, home rule by home folks, the preservation and perpetuation of civilization of the Anglo-Saxon race. When the war closed, with poverty J? olation all over the S ,uth, the ca ol a politician was entirely outside of plan of my future life.

I pursued the even tono my life with little pleasure and some t cess, until the grand uprising of our j plein 1S70, in their supremo effort throw oil" the worst government the w< ever saw.

After a short a?i harp conflict we routed them, " hors Dot and dragoon." This splendid victoi hniled the public heart, awakened n i "-pcs, inspired the fainthearted ; 11 w he decisive victory of the campaign, at; .roved a Waterloo to the Kepablici iartv. Tue campaign closed on the 7th of N ember, 1S7G, and the State was rodeen d. The voice of rejoicing echoed froi he blue tops of tho mountains to the whil iain of the ocean.

It seemed to me to bi npossible to induce the honest rank and ie of our party t<> throw aside tis?: pri? pies t-L.! they bad inherited from a no L? aaufciry for tim shifting policies G? t!.( ?eomplilbed demagogues wno were s ' i; ig political preferment and a lucrative lice al the sacrifice ofall self respect and ;ery sacred principio.

A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility ; lie is easily startled, his feet ;:re cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa tion of the skin; lu's spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrust* every remedy.
