The mumps had j the mastery and several of the com- | munitv have had a severe time with ! * | them but are safely across the breakers. Mrs. Lawrence P. Smith has entirely recoverd from a severe attack of the mumps and is able again to superintend her domestic cares. Several cases of vaccination has j given severe pains and gave the ap- i pearance of alarm, Mrs. John R. . Langford and Mrs. Paul E. Hutto beiDg the worst sufferers. Col. James C. Fort was in town a foa? /toTe aof\ lonl-incr nftar his busi- i V*'V "to" ??5 ness. He intends to box the pine timber on his upland 4,000 acres of land on Cedar creek, seven miles west j of Swansea, and will still it Swansea. He expects to purchase a bouse and lot and move here. Our citizens will give him and family a hearty welcome among us. Several of our progressive farmers have started a good work in fanning and have had Iheir fields terraced to prevent the useless and silly exhaustion of the soil, among whom we nofe the names of R. E. Mack, Jesse Yon, Darling Jofcoat and others. Their terracing was done by Cbarleigh B. Dowling. Oar Magistrate, U. W. Jefcoat, has resigned, and P. E. Hutto appointed in his stead. Judge^ Hutto has had to exercise his official- office in several cases already. He will soon find that the way of the Magistrate, like that of the transgressor, j is a bard one. Mr. G. Derrick of the Fork and D. J. Kootts were engaged last week j in surveying lands in dispute between } John J. Barrs and Dr. Joseph Mitch- j f-li of Leesville. The land in dis- | pute was on the famous ''Pond j Branch dominion," and the case will i come up in the court at its next sos- j sion. The survey was made by or- j dex of the court and the case will be j a clash between the Estate of Needham P. Jefcoat and the Estate of i JohD T. Ohaney. Messrs. Efird & j Breber will represent defendant j Barrs and Messrs. Graham & Nelson j will see after the plaintift' Mitchell. The Geiger Bros, and C. S. Koof continue to bring their large lumber j output to the railroad heic. G. 1>- j Dowling also has entered the lumber j business and is sawing and landing | for shipment at Swansea. Messrs. Archy Wolfe, Henry Ass- j manD, Lee Muller and ether of the j progressive citizens of Sandy Bun i have employed a competent man and will run a tobacco farm this year. Dr. William Muller, well known to " - - .1 - . 1 1 i many ol our Citizens mrou^uuui, iuc i county is still in quite feeble health. ! Dr. Muller is best beloved and most j respected where he is best known. 1 He is a kind hearted, broad minded j Christian gentleman, a genial neigh- j bor and a faithful friend. His vir- J tucs will be a heritage to his kiu- | dred and we still hope for bis pro- j I* longed life. There is much to be regretted cf : j the clash between the county con- ! I vention of farmers and the worthy j ! far mer of Black Creek, J. F. Lyles. j | Feaster Lyles has many warm friends i who believe him to be a man of suf- I licient giit and manhood to have his j opinions anywhere aDd the courage j of his convictions to express them, j though he is iu a "helpless minority.'' j Y>re kuow but little of the trouble j between him and the convention and his article, which the Dispatch tells | j is behind, may tell us more of it.

W A There seems'to have been more poliiics in the last Legislature than j in any other for years. Much of the discussions had a political twang to ! it that has a deep meaning. But the judgment day is coming and a dreadful reconing will have to be. Five men are now conceded as being can- , didates for the Governorship and the j other candidates are like the sands i on the sea shore for multitude and j which no man can number. The J politicians, as a class, must be a dull set. They seem hard to understand the situation and many have to learn some severe lessons. They have the happy faculty of getting into everything and on everything, even if there is nn nlatform to stand on, they al ways find standing room. It now appears that they have captured the Cotton Growers* Association, and what nexi? We will wait and see. Spectator. A Cl:ud of "Witnesses. Catarrh Can Be Permanently Cared. C. W.

The Wuteree Messenger, j This is a time for serious thinking i and sober rejection.

I There seems to bo no scarcity of | gubernatorial timber. Gov. E lerbe i will stand for re-election; Edgefield j comes up with Col. Geo D. Tillman j and Senator Watson: Spartanburg j with Senator Archer? Newberry with j SenatorMower and Solicitor Sebum i perl: end Dud well with Senator ' May field. There are also others . ! spoken of in this connection. The struggle is between the people j and the politicians, and the masses | of the people should be active, cauI tious and wise with reference to their part of the performance. I If any one should enter the race i for no higher motive than that they J regard Kllerbe as a weak man and in j consequence of this they might be j elevated, their stock in trade is very j poor, and no such candidate should , be endorsed. What we want is men i of inflexible loyalty to trutb, unswerving devotion to duty, unflinching rectitude?men who will "stand ; four-square to ail Ihe winds that i blow.*' We should by all means i have a man for Governor who measj urers up to such a standard as this i whether it be W. II. Kllerbe or some ouc else. It might be well to remember that ; a good deal of the "dissatisfaction" I with Gov. Eilerbe's administration 1 i:as its origin with the politicians? j more thau with the people in fact. ! Then the executive chair is nottLe only important place to be filled, and what we would like to see is good, honest, capable and wise men?those | who have the courage of their convictions?filling each of the impor j til tit o Hi cos m the gitt ol the people, i and to this end we shall continue to ; work, regardless of factional lines, i We want less of stiife and more of i peace: less of political scheming and j more of political honesty.

Iu speaking of it he says: 'About two years ago I was stricken with rheumatism, and for a a year was severely troubled with it. It came on me suddenly during the winter, I don't know what caused it, unless it was exposure, about the farm. '"It was the old fashioned rheumatism and began in my lower limbs, gradually working up until my arms, hand and fiugers became affected.

I k'The druggist recommended several things, and I tried some of them, j but was not benefited until I used i Dr. Williams' Pink Pinks for Pale j People. I gave this remedy a fail . trial as I did the others, and soon discovered that it was different from anything I had tried. ;'I found that this was a medicine that did what was claimed for it,and when I had taken about a dozen doses of the pills I found that thc-j were helping me. I continued tak ing them, and I am glad to-day "that I did. Why that medicine actual!} : cured me and I did. 't take more than six or seven boxes either.

"Positive, why of course I am, Nothing else did it. I did not take an}- other medicine at the time, and I was ..ever better until I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, I have taken nothing else since, and of course they are what did the work." Mrs. 1'pdegrafi agreed with her husband that "Lc was cured of a very severe case ot rheumatism by these pills.1' What belter proof ccuhl a person want than the above facts. This plainly shows that Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People are unrivalled as a tonic fur the blood. The | secret of perfect health, strength and ! beauty is pure blood, and impure blood is the foundation of most dis1 eases. One of the first to discover this I , fact was Dr. Williams, who years ago formulated a combination of vegetable remedies which acts on the impure and impoverished blood, imparting those elements that purify, vitalize and enrich it, thus aiding bodily functions, arousing every organ intj healthful action, and in fins \v:iv restririno' the retire svstpm J ~ O * to 1)talth and vigor. That Dr. Williams' Pit k Pills for Pale People do this has becu attested to by thousands all over our land in foreign climes.

(Mobor "I"??tf. | From Columbia to Lexington. ! An Electric Road Which Will Mean Much for Business. f Work to Begin in a Short Time? I Three Electric Com panics Combine to Carry Out the Plans?Two i Biver Bridges to be Built, i Columbia State, Feb. 17. The much talked of connection of this city with Btookland and the town of Lexington by an electric railway is to be perfected iu the very near future. The information comes from a prominent member of the Brookland Electric company, and the plan is to becanhd out by the combination of three electric companies The Brookland Electric company, i which was chartered by the last session of the legislature, and the new Lexington Electric and Power eoai pany, have decided to consolidate i and build a road connecting the two j towus which they represent. The | i Brookland company has the right of | way across the river to connect theii line with Columbia. The plan now is that the Lexington company, i which is composed of some of the I | strongest men iu the county, and ! who are determined to carry cut the i j purposes of their charter, build their j I road to Brookland, where it wili con ! i i nect with the road of that town. ! Then these two companies, which i have combined with the Columbia j J Electric Street Railway company, j | together with the latter, will build a j j bridge across the river and operate: ; an dectric line which, will conned J i the three towns. The whole distance over which the; line will operate will be I t miles, and iu addition to tbe passenger line the j companies propose to run a line of j freight cars ami expect to do a large j business. Already they have a guar| autee of *0.00 freight per day by one | of the Lexington factories. The new bridge which will be built will be a handsome piece of engineering. It is nccessaiy to have ' | ?40,000 subscribed to build the 1 i bridge, one-fourth of which will be I j paid iu, iu order to get it started, j The remaining ?-10,000 will be floated i with bonds. In this way the plan I cau be cariied through without any 1 i trouble. It is hoped that the citizens of Columbia will subscribe to ' j the enterprise, as it will mean much ' I benetit for the city.
