I.IKK. A ROMANCE
re
Tne story of IV. Marion Sims
reads like a romance A poor lad,
a si niggling young physician with j,-|
failure stamping his entrance into
thn profession ? with all these dis~ yc
advintage*he became the foremost jp,
physician of ihe world in his day,
and was thw tried and trusted mir
ire hi who operated in royal homes (<a
in Kurope He nag self exiled
from thin country during the War pf
between the States, and surrender- p(
od a tine practice in New York
citr on account of his loee for the on
south During hia sojourn in an
Europe he became so eminent and
so much sought after that he a
very nearly became lost to America
entirely. lie finally returned to
thin country and established a fa- jt
moils hospital in New York. n
Dr. Thorn well, the master mind
1 I
of the Southern Presbyterian ' *:
church, the distinguished educator C(
and the eloquent preacher, was f(
himself a rery poor boy. ! j
A ndrHw I-..L. * - ? - !
,. mhvkpimi nai in a idwit j t) |
station in his childhood. He was j ]
hoin on old Twelve Mile creak. I
.lust 10 miles away, on Sugar
creek in Macklebnrg county,
.Tames K Polk was bora. No other '
two presidents wore horn so near
to each other.
Hut Lancaster ia not content to
thua close her charpter of history.
The people of this county ^
are restlessly energetic, and are ''
huilhing up many other enter?
prises. *
The railroad which the people of
Che?teriiold county are building
* ' f
will bo tAkcn up by the people of
JjancM^tor un< 1 will be built from
the line divi ling the counties to
the town of Lancaster. Further
more the narrow gauge road from
^iSincristor to Chester is to be to *'
tmilt and to be made 'standard 1(
fr
gauge. C.ro?,at ins are now being put
n the ground for this purpose. ni
A WONDF.RFUL KOAD. .
at
This is one of the beet paying A
road* on record. It is about k2f> tn
miles long, and yet when put up
at auction a few yearn ago was tr
bought by Col. I^eroy Springe and la
other Lane -astrians for $25,000, m
r >11in<5 stock and all. Since that cn
time the road has Seen put into pi
la tter shape, better rolling stock m
purchased and yet, rumor has it, fo
thcdividends and profits hare more gi
th *n reimbip'sed the owners for tii
purchase price and for added expenditure
for improvements. ?l
In the town of Lancaster, Col. th
Ivcroy Springs and his associates co
are building a cotton mil1 to cost dr
,000,000. Other improvements ta
are on foot, and the building of a ex
ad from Chesterfield courthouse m
II open up valuable lands. o|
The people of Lancaster of a{
isster, of Kershaw and of Fair- sc
Id all hare a patronizing aspect ui
ward the great Catawba fall,
eated near the corner of contact tb
these four eounties. And from b
cent real estate transfers in that s?
ighborhood aggregating about ti
5,000, it is believed that the tb
ue is near at hand when this g<
otnendous fall of water will be ci
ed to direct spindles and looass, w
light the streets and to furnish tl
ctric car transportation in nearr
towns. Catawba Falls is such It;
immense cataract that nothing tc
n be undertaken on a minor ci
ale, and for this reason the people
that section are willing to

Commits suicide
V Sirk Wiiiimn Kills Herself With
Her Poctor'8 Pistol.
Opeliua, Aln , .Jan 16.? A few
l?t\s a-jo^lr* .1 F Williams of
Itenlah, in this county, committed
suicide by shooting herself.
She had been sick and a doctor
tvns attending her. Ho went to her
resilience to make a professional
call, and, as was hi* custom travel
inir through tho country, carried a
small pistol with him. When ho
went in tho room he laid the pistol
on tho table. After making an examination
hs to her condition, she
asked all persons who were present
t'? retire from the roona a short
time, and as soon as they did so
?.ho got up and shot herself with
the pistol and died almost instantly.
It is supposed that she was suffering
from temporary aberration of
of the mind.
A good cure for the grippe:
l'hena<etine, two scruples; salol,
two scruples: qninine salcylate,
one scruple. Mix into twenty pills.
Take one pill every hour for four
hours, and then one every two
hours for three or four doses.
