Her story follows: "About 1-A years ago we decided to take up our abode in Dover and everything went along smoothly for several years, business progressed and being of a saving temperament we accumulated quite an amount. Our family increased as the years rolled by and we now have 5 child ren living, the oldest 15, youngest 3, but sickness made its way into our household, and doctors' bills flooded ( upon us, until we have nothing left but our home, and these sweet child- ' ren. Everything went to satisfy the ' claims of physicians. "About 3 years ago I had a miser- 1 ! able feeling at the back of my ears? 1 I my right hand became paralyzed and 1 | the paralysis extended to my arm ^ and throat, and would affect my head * and eyes, sometimes for days I would 1 ! lose my sight, my face was deformed 1 lifeless as it were, my nose drawn to E i-rno ci/lo ann T iirocanforl ? rvifnblp ^ appearance and never expecting to regain my natural facial expressions. 1 I employed the best physicians ( that could be procured expending thousands of dollars for their services ^ but could not obtain relief. At last, they stated my case was beyond the reach of medical skill, and it would be | but a short time until the end would j come. This certainly was not very | encouraging to me, but I never gave $ ! up hope. In connection with receiv- \ ! ing the attendance of physicians I < : have tried every medicine known to { | the apothecary but never received ; any relief until Dr. Williams' Pink j j Pills for Pale People came to my as 1 ! sistauce.

Her conversation was always { i prefaced by the introductory inquiry | { so common to visitors, ''Did you j | come here for your health?" She ! I thus addressed a stalwart, ruddy vis- j i age young man at the dinner table of | the hotel, and the following dialogue ' ensued: "Yes, madame; I came here probj ably the weakest person you ever saw. I had no use of my limbs?in fact, my bones were little tougher than cartilages. I had no intelli- j ' gent control of a single muscle, nor ! the use of a single faculty." i ? , i "Good gracious!1 exclaimed the as- ! ! tonished auditor. "And you lived?" j , I "I did, madame; although I was j | void of sight, absolutely toothless, I unable to articulate a single word and 1 i I dependent on others for everything, oeing completely deprived of all power to help myself. I commenced :o gain upon my arrival, and bave scarcely experienced a sick day since; tience I can conscientiously recommend the climate."

Jbservaticns During My Travels To the Editor of the Dispatch: On the 24th of December, 1S95, I end my family took the train at Gasson, S. C, bound for Walterboro, S. J., to visit my wife's relatives and 'riends. We took quite a circuitious route :o reach Walterboro, but it was the ;>est way we could go. We had the misfortune to miss xranection at Fairfax and had to lay )ver twenty four hours waiting for ;he Port Royal and Augusta train. I ivas disappointed with Fairfax, as it s not as large a place as I had supposed it to be. The iuhabitants seemed to be happy and hopeful. Oq the P. P. and A. road there are several stations, the most important of which is Hampton Court House. It is a pretty lit lie town. The court house is rather small. The next place of importance is Yemasee, at which place we changeJ cars and t >ok the Charleston and Savannah traiD, thence to Green Pond where we changed to the Green Pond and "Walterboro train. This place is said to be sickly and hence very few inhabitants there. The most important j>laces on the Southbound road from Gaston to Fairfax are North, Norway and Denmark. The country through which we passed is, for the most part, very level until you reach "Walterboro where you will find sand beds again. This is a lovely place, with its neat residences and spacious yards. The court house occupies one square, in front of which is an Artesian well. The jail is not convenient to the court house. Nero.

Elizabeth Ann, who died January 17, 189G; aged 23 years 7 months and 14 days. These twin sisters were the daughters of Monroe and Sarah Buff. They were batized in infancy, and in ! early youth attached themselves to Mount Hebron M. E. church, andrci mained faithful and true to the same until death. They leave a kind father, two brothers together with many friends and relatives to mourn their early death. Farewell, dear sisters, your hearts were knit together; in life one; in Joy, one; in sorrow, one; in sickness, one; and in death thou has not been separated; in the tomb thy bodies rest side by side until Gabriel's trump shall bid them rise, while thy blood bought immortal souls, we believe, hand in hand walk the golden streets of the eternal city. They were laid to rest in the family burying ground i near Saluda river, Lexington county, | S. C. Burial service rendered by the writer, assisted by Rev. E. L. Lybrand. J. A. C. The subject of thi3 sketch?David Lawrance Corley?after a brief illness, died at his home near Lexington Court House, S. C, December 30th, 1S95, aged 8 years 1 month and 20 days. Although so young, his life was a record of Christian character. From early childhood, he was devoted to [ religious books. His favorite Bible stories were "the boyhood of Jesus," and "The Good Shepherd." The latter his dear mother read to him a few hours before his departure, to which he listened very attentively. His missionary spirit is seldom excelled, and would always earn his own money for the same. During the months of the Centennial year of m'ssions, he took great interest in raising money on brick cards for Chapel building, and was heard to j siy when interogatc-d on the subject, ? Who knows but that some day I will be a Baptist minister, and the in scription of my name on these very bricks when placed in position, will be representative for me as a missionary to the heathen." He loved his Sunday school and j teacher so well; also took an active j pait in raising money for the pur- | chase of a church organ, and leaves $1.50 to be sent as a Christmas offering to the "Carry Maxwell Orphanage." Oh, how wonderful we say that one so young could embibe such a Christ like spiiit! "What a beautiful example dear little Lawrance has left us. We will miss his cheerful, smiling fuC3 andexa nple at the house of G 3d, and ia the Sunday school and missionary meetinrrc A hove all father mother brothers and sisters will miss him at the dear home, where he was the flower and pride of parental home. Bat, 0! while we miss, we shall never forget thee until we behold thy dear face at our Father's house. May God in J his mercy and infinite grace impart his richest blessings upou this dear stricken family: sanctify and bless this dispensation to their spiritual development and eternal attainment.

In The Beginning Of a new year, when season of close confinement is only half gone, | many find that their health begins to | break down, that the least exposure threatens sickness. It is then as j well as at all other times, and with | people even in good health, that the j following facts should be remern| bered, namely: that Hood's SarsapaI rilla leads everything in the way of ' medicines: that it accomplishes the j gieitest cures in the world; has the i largest sale in the world, and re n quires the largest building in the world devoted exclusively to the preparation of the proprietary medicine. Does not this conclusively prove, if you are sick, that Hood's Sarsaparilla is the medicine for you to take? 11. Cherokee Notes. 5 t To the Editor of the Dispatch: ) !

We need absolutely honest elections in South Carolina, that is to say: We need a law, which will be so perfect as to allow the rightful owners of the offices and their allies to use the negroes at the ballot to oust the usumers who now hold office be JL cause of the truancy of the people to the respectable and genuine representatives of the country. In the war the officers rode their horses to fame and glory while the soldiers trudge their weary way to the discharge of arduous duties, and to the filling of patriotic graves. In civil life the rightful owners of the offices should be allowed to secure their own by walking in over the shoulders of the negro, even to ; the discomfiture of the "Three for aQaarter Statesmen" who now assume ! to fill and disgrace the public offices. The whole skill, tact and energy of I the General Assembly should be dij rected to the passage of such laws as i will biiDg about honest elections. ! This old plan of preventing the re spectable old officeholaing class from utilizing the negro in the effort to > oust the usurpers, commonly called i Reformers, is not loDger to be tolerI j ated.

There would of course be a "close finish'' in such a contest, but aftej ! much consideration of the subjeel ; we are inclined to belieye that in t race to decide which was the mosl contemptible newspaper in Soutt Carolina the Abbeville Press anc j Banner would win by a length, i For four or five of the last sh i years it has assumed to speak as i ' "Conservative" paper, for no othe: ! reason that we can conceive thar | that it desired the more securely t< | betray the cause it pretended t< i champion. What it has called itsel | latterly we have not observed, bu' 1 we detect no disposition on the pai | of the decent "Reform" papers ti I claim it as one of themselves, al though in its discreditable fashion i I has "rooted" for the most discredit i able acts of the most discreditable i j "Reformers." i i It is a shameful paper. It seldoD , makes an honest or an open attack but in a manner peculiar to itself?i j sneaking, slanderous manner?it ap i peals to the lowest impulses and th I meanest prejudices of the worst o iits readers. We have withheld these stron; words for years, but we cannot do s< longer after reading this ignoble edi torial which it has put forth to maiD j tain fraud and perjury in South Car | olina elections: *?**?* i i . ] There was a time when we re j garded the editorial policy of th ; Press and Banner as inspired b j chankism, but we cannot do so longer j It cannot command even tne pit ! given to lunacy. o ? j Worse Than Cleveland. i Columbia Register. ' . J The talk of Carlisle for Presider } | is the rankest sort of nonsense. Tb > j Itsgister does not believe he can si . cure the Democratic nominatioi t j I even with the whole power of the ac ministration's influence exerted i j his behalf, but should the nation! _ j convention be guilty of the purblin t j folly of selecting him as the party _ j standard-bearer, he could not be ele r j ted, for his nomination would spl 3 I the Solid South wide open.

The case is the same in other Southern States and throughout the West. The Register says nothiDg as to the correctness of this sentiment among the Democratic voters, but j certainly the goldbug Democrats can! not say a word in condemnation of it. for they set the example of votiDg against Democratic nominees whose financial vie^s did not coincide with theirs. Why was Hardin defeated and why will Blackburn fail of leelection in Kentucky? Simply aid solely because this man Carlisle, who hails from that State, backed by Cleveland, exerted his influence to keep goldbug Democrats from votiDg for them. And the goldbug pape s cheered him on to his treacherous work. The Register warned them at the time that their chickens would come home to roost. They sowed to the wind and must not complain when they reap the whirlwind. They practised treachery, and cannot murmur if repaid in kind. Once Carlisle was the idol of Southern Democrats and could have commanded their solid support. That was when he was a leader in the fight for bimetallism and was a Democrat after the -?? * , 1 1.1. good old style. .But since ne nas Decome a member of Cleveland's Cabinet and become the most radical advocate of the Republican doctrine of gold monometallism, they have spewed him out of their months and wo aid vote for almost any man in preference to him. The Democratic p irty is in a very bad way now, but i 3 condition will le worse if by any hocus-pocus Carlisle should be put up as its candidate for President. If asked the question ''Have you got a stomach?" it would be safe on general principles, to answer "Yes." But, if you are sure of it; that is, if you ever feel any distress after eating or any pains of whatever description ' in the region of the stomach, you 1 have got something more than an or] dinary stomach; in other words, you have got a diseased stomach.

The announcement that there would be a necessary increase in the tax levy to meet the expenses of the State Government has created considerable discussion and some dissatisfaction. The Comptroller General states that unless there is an income tax the levy will have to be at o it ten mills to meet all expenses of the Government. The dispensary profits, which are supposed to amount $100,000, have all been given to the school fund, and the phosphate royalty is tied up in a sinking fund to pay the State debt. These funds cannot, therefore, be considered in providing for the necessary expenses of Government. It is very likely that both the income tax and license bill will be introduced in the Legislature. The Comptroller General stated that he did not know what scheme would be devised in reference to incomes, but suggested that it would probably be a tax on all who received an income of $1,000 or more. That would bear equally on all the people of the State, but. the license scheme will only effect the town people. It is stated farmers, for instance, will not be subject to a license tax, although they are in business like any one else. The Comptroller General estimates that a tax on in comes of thousand dollars would bring in about $50,000. This will not be enough to meet the deficit. The license tax on businesses as charged in Charleston would bring in about ?500,000. Comptroller General Norton does not intend to recommend any plan to the Legislature, but will simply call to the attention of the members what they are permitted to do under the Constitution. The whole subject is one in which the officials are deeply interested, and they are scratching their heads daily to get up some scheme to raise the money and still not increase the rate of taxation.
