Our railroad's schedules just now are in the nature of an abomination, so far as the mails are concerned. The departures are all right, but the arri vals are behind time or not at all Perhaps it will be better by and by. Oysters are nicer than corn bread, but scientific cooks assert there it more nourishment in corn meal than in the luscious bivalve. Well, fortu nately, flora meal is plentiful and cheap in Edgefield, which is not the case with oysters.

This involves the setting.of from 400 to 600 posts and the putting in plact of 40 miles of wire. A few more gold finds in the South would convert us all into goldbugs. By tbe way, would it not be well to have experts examine the old Dora gold mine, near McCormick? Who .knows that South Carolina hasn't a deposit of ?old equally rich as that in Georgia?

The most stubborn cases of neural gia are apt to yield to a hot water ti satinent. Wherever the pain is lo cated, there a hot water bag should i>e applied, the suffering part should be wrapped in a blanket, and the unfor tunate patient should be put to bed and covered with more blankets, and induced to drink at least three cups of water as hot as the palate can stand. This treatment may seem severe, bat it is sure to bring relief. Married, at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. 1).

With feelings of profound re gretwe notice the death of thii estimable young man, which sac . event occurred at Dothan, Ala., ot the 5th inst. Mr. Dorne came to our town in j Aug. last, in tbe interest of the Singer Manufacturing Company During his stay here he won the confidence of all with whom he associated by his gentlemanly de portment and devotion to prin ciple. Only two weeks ago, while in the discharge of his duties, he wae taken ill at Dotban and among strangers, far away from his native home, South Carolina, he gave up hi8youDg, hopeful, promising life, a victim to that fell disease pneu monia. Kind, tender hands, though strangers,' ministered to his last wants, and soothed his last suf ferings. During Nov. last he united himself with the Methodist church here, and his pastor and those brethren who knew him best, felt assured of hi: earnest interest in the cause- of his Master. How 800 1 has his work among them ended and himself been called io "come up higher.'' To the friends in other places who loved him, and to his absent, sorrowing relatives, our hearts go out in deepest sympathy.-l4A Friend," in Troy (Ala) Messenger, Monday, January ll, 1897. The total number of southern cotton mills in 1895 was 435. Of these fifteen have been "crossed out" and merged into other con cerns, aud three were burned, re ducing the number to 420. To this number, however, fifty-five new mills were added during the year 1896 om-kiug the total now 475, SI MONTO N SUSTAINED . A Part of the Dispenaary Law is Uncoil stitntional. The United States Supreme Court has sustained Judge Simon ton's decision, that a part of the South Carolina dispensary law is unconstitutional. The part of the law thus settled is the clause which relates to tho importation of liquors for private use. The lawyers interested in the case think this is a serious blow to the law, and that it may result in breaking it down. It will be remembered that shortly after the dispensary law went into effect, July, 1S92. James Donald, of Georgetown, suffered loss by the seizure of a barrel of beer which had been ordered out side the Sta'e. Mr. Bryan, re presenting Donald, carried the case into the United States Circuit Court, and after arguments on both sides, Judge Simonton decided that the citizens of the United States had the right to order liquor for personal use, and that seizures to the contrary would be a clear violation of tba inter-state commerce laws. The State appealed from this decision, and the case went to the Circuit Court of Appeals, where the State received another set back. Still another appeal was taken, this time to Supreme Court, of the United States, wi'h the re sult above stated. TILLMAN'S THEORIES. Knows all About It, He Says, But Never Drinku lt. And Sure He's Right About WhLslrey. New York Ti me. Charleston, S. C., Jan, 21.- ''By gad sir,, I want t > say to you, sir that I know all about the liquor business, sir. And I don't drink, sir, and I never dealt in tho stuff, sir, except for the state of South Carolina, sir." So said Senator Ben Tillman a few days ago. It is true that the senator does not drink-at least, not publicly-though everybody who meets him and gazes on his fiery red face and listons to his picturesque oaths feels sure he is a drinking' man. He came near throwing party of Chicago politicians into fits tho Sunday be'ore election. They took him around to a "blind tiger" which was running on Sunday. They lined up in front of the bar, it was "A little whiskey, please^" all along tho line, uatAl\ the bar kwpat T?rafc_r?_ ?he senator. "Alittle apollinaris" said thi noted South Carolinian. "I nevei take anything stronger, sir." Senator Tillman says he got thc dispensary idea from a town jusi across the Georgia line from hie hdme. After he had got the legis . lature of his state to pass the dis 1 pensary bill be signed it and tool a trip of investigation. \ "You see, sir," be says, ' wanted our people to have pur liquor or none, sir, LIKED CARBOLIC ACID. - "The first thing I found out, sii 3 was that the business is as crooke* a as a dog's hind leg. Now, I wan . that is to buy it from the distiller . warehouses. Each barrel mus i have two government stamps oi . on it, one showing when it wa j put in the warehouse and on i showing when it was taken out t That's the kind of liquor J. gav i, people of my state to drink, sir. 3 Now, anybody who has gone in to a dispensary in South Carolina given his full name and address paid his money and got a bottle o . liquor bearing the certificate o s the state chemist as to its purity [ will never forget his disappoint i ment when he tastes his purchase It burns like carbolic acid i It fairly hisses as it saws anc i gnaws it way to the stomach. "That's all right," says Senatoi Till man. ',The fusil oil ma1 i make it a little hot, for the liquo" is new. But it's the pure article . Our people set up a great how about my liquor when the systen waa introduced. 'Well,' said I., '. ; am giving you liquor of ful strenght. Put water in it until i is diluted to the strength of th< lipuoryon Mve been buying arie you will iiud it ail right." "I remember an old farmer." the senator went on, "who foi years had made it a habit to 'buy a quart of whiskey every time he came- to town. He came to me after his first experience undei the uew system. .'Govnor,' says he, 'no quart of whiskey ever got me down afore. Even it I emptied a quart bottle I was able to walk straight when I cams in to the ole woman. But this time. Guv'ner, why sir, I woke up next mornin' in a fence corner and the bottle was still half full.' ' You see. gave him a full quart and at full strength." BLENDED WHISKEY. ' "What a' out blended liquor?' the senator was asked. "Now, I'll tell you all about blended liquor. First let me say that if you are a drinking man you have taken more ungodlv compounds over bars than you could dream of in a century. Why, I went into a rectifiers' place in Cnciuuati. He was mak ing poach brandy. He had barrels of Cologne spirits and he would squirt in some prune j; other stuff to color it, a: some essence of peach and peach leaves to flavor you know we can get pru S? from peach kernels and acid is one of the quickest known, sir. ''Well, as to blended whi rectifier will take a li? tie g whisky aud a barrel of pu) hoi from which much of th< oil has been taken. You m take out all the oil, for it essential flavor of whisk} rectifier pours the good whi to tho alcohol and doctors ii and you have the Double X. . X. or Quadruble X bl whiskj\" How about ageing whisky "They have got so now thv. age it arteficially, and as fa: know the process is all right, old way to to put the new 1 into barrels and let it stand, barrels must be of oak, bc cak has tannie acid in i tannie acid is necessary t process. Then inside' o) barrel must be charred. It t have a coating of chareo? eighth of an inch thick. The coal helps give the color whiskey from the still is like water." 'What do you think < Raines law in New York?" "I haven't studied il there is only one way to de: the liquor question, and I thtf South Carolina way. know, I fixed it so in th. constitutional convention fi quor never can be eold ove in South Carolina-that it. drunk on the premises. I to put the whole dis system in the constitut. there was danger of collidi the United States coustitu I just put the bar clause ii HIS BELOVED SYSTE Senator Tillman is just in his belief in the di system to-day as he was started, though ?ll ms scandals have been a with it.
