His able head was manifest in the new constitution of the State, for which he deserves the great part of the credit.

The election ?B some time off and we have only the interest of neighborly good wishes but if the people of South Carolina seo fit to elect him he will no doubt confirm the wisdom of their choioe. -Au gusta Herald. "The Rebel Yell." Do you really comprehend the "rebel yell?" It was th cry of the only great army the v/orld ever mustered where each man came out to take his place from a home he owned in fee simple. It was the one message in one tongue, sent back upon generous breezes from the advancing host * mother and si&ter, to wife and babe : "I am here; grim peril runs riot before me, ravenous death laughs above and around me. 1 am here between home and Lincoln I" The rebel yell was the sublimest Americanism that ever was born. It was the one democracy that will never die here in the land of its birth.-J. W. DuBoae, in Bir mingham Age-Herald. "THE INN" New Restaurant Just opened for La dies and Gentlemen 833 Broadway, - Anpsta, &a. Everything first class, noth ing but first-class Groceries, Coffee and Teas will be used. Give us a call. J. E. CLANCEY, M?? "SHE WM AKES." The Way Things Were Done in the Oid Times. The very smart young people of this day, when everything to wear may be bought ready made and much of the food, cooked and ready for immediate use, may be handed down from tho store shelves, and transportation to, market, is as easy 1,000 miles as it is 100,may be interested in some of the primitive methods of their ancestors 75 to 100 years ago, Even as late as 1830 to 1840, Christmas turkeys -'were driven from the upper counties to Colmbiaj Augusta and Charleston. Tobacco was rolled in hogsheads io market, an axle going through the hogshead and shafts attached to the ends of axle. A horse or mule was the motive nower. All plow stocks were made at tnme. Even the drawing chains and all irons for farm use were made by the neighboring black smith. The uails that were used in building houses were hand made. Hinges, L tches and pot hooks, pot-racks and many kitchen convenienesss were made in the shops at home. Seventy-five years a^o there was hardly a ready made suit of clothiug or a pair of shoes or boots in a store for sale. Home made clothing was worn by women and men. They slept under home made quilts and blankets. The table linen or cotton was spun and woven by the women. Goods were hanled from Columbia in wagons up as late as 1850. The price for hauling to this couuty was 75 cents to $1.00 a hundred pounds. There were men iu those davs who did nothing but drive wagons the year round. Some of them were tramp wagous, like the tramp steamers we have now on the high seas. If a wagoner could get a load to auy market he would carry it, and if ho found frieght there for a distant place he would load up and start. Just so he was loaded and getting a fair price, he did not care where he was going. All cooking was done in open fire places in ovens aud skillets. It was expected that every famly that had anything would have two pots a small and a large one. Hence came the saying "to put the little pot in the big one" when a family was cooking a large dinner for visitors. In the early years of the century and even up to 1840 all traveling was done ou horseback, or in wagons. Even in the thirties a buggy or carriage waa considered a curiosity at a church in tlieup~ country. ATT' writing was done with goose quills and most of the ink was made .at home. Lead pencils were made by pouring melted lead in the joint of a cane. The plumbago lead pencil was unknown. The shoemaker would come around in the fall and make the family shoes, as soon as the leather was taken from the vats. There was not much choice as to style then. Socks and stockings and supenders, or "galluses," were all knit at home. The average boy got only one pair of shoes a year. They were handed out to him in December. About March they would be worn out and then he would go barefooted. Sheep and cow bells, hats rifles and all edged tools were made by the experts of the county.-Spartarn bug Hearld. JOHNSON'S CHILL AND FEVER TONIC Cures Fever In One Day. For Governor. Governor Ellorbe has had no flowery bed of ease, but there are several men in South Carolina who aro willing to undertake the arduous task of running the executive office during the next term. The names of prominent statesmen are mentioned, in con nection with the office of governor, and it is almost certain that Gov ernor E'lerbe will have opposition in the next campaign. The Hon. L. D. Childs is much in terested in the cause of prohibition and may lead the fight, by making) a clear cut issue before the people and asking that he be elected governor to enforce prohibitron. George D. Tillman, ex-congress man from Edgefield, has been spoken of as a probable candidate and will make his fight against the dispensary system, and possibly Senator Tillman will f. ce his brother and defend his pet institu tion. Senator Archer, of Spartan burg, is not so frieudly to State colleges and may appeal to tho people for an endorsement of his viewB. There is a great deal of talk now and the next session of the legislature will develop matters. Pickens Journal. Of all kinds done at this office. Call and get our prices. ONE OF TWO WATS. The bladder was created for one pur pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine, andas such it is not liable to any form of disease except by one of two ways. The first way is from im perfect action of the kidneys. The second way is from careless local treat ment of other diseases. CHIEF CAUSE. Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys is the chief cause of bladder troubles. So the womD, like the blad der, was created for one purpose, and if not doctored too much is not liable ti, 'eakness or disease, except in rare case?. It is situated back of and very clocj to the bladder, therefore any pain, disease or inconvenience mani fested in the kidneys, back, bladder or usinary passage is often, by mistake attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort. The error is easily made and may be as easily avoided. To find out correctly, set your urine aside for 2-1 hour; a sediment or settling indicates kidney or bladder trouble.. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney and bladder remedy, is soon real ized. If you need a medicine you should have the best. At druggists, price fifty cents and one dollar.
