They are . the people who have never had it. Any one who ha9 ever had even the slightest touch of la grippe knows well the complete misery it brings. And not only misery for the time being, but unless properly treated its sequella follow it month after month until the patient despairs of ever getting well again.

Made Money tbe Paramount Issue for lOlTo. j Topekn, K*U8., Feb. 21.?Wiliiam j J. Bryan addressed six hundred dein| oerats at a banquet held in this city | tonight. The gathering was in the ! nature of a reunion of the democrats, j Its magnitude gives it considerable ! significance as showing the demo| cratic strength as a balance of power ! party in this state. Many speakers | of state prominence addressed tbe j meeting. Mr. Bryan asserted that | the money question was to be the | paramount issue in the next cam| paign and cited the fact that the | national committee of tbe democrats, j the populists aud the free silver j republicans have issued addresses in | which they assert that the money ! question is the issue and call for the I co-opcration of the force that it may i j triumph. ; Iu an interview Mr. Bryan declined ! to discuss tbo present crisis ith ; Spain. He said tbere was time J enough to discuss tbat affair when i ? : the official investigation committee ! on the Maine affair bad made its ! repoit. Faithful Watchman. | ? Tbe truth of an old saying about i children and fools is newly illustrated i by a story in a London psper. | A gentleman went into a fancy ! goods store. It was early in tbe j i morning, and in order to make ebaugo j the shopkeeper was obliged to go j upstairs after the cash box. As he i went out of the room, he said in a i whisper to his little son: j ""Watch the gentleman that ho j does not steal anything." i The precaution was natural enough but the form in which it was conveyed ; was unfortunate, for when the shop; keeper returned, a few minutes later, ; the boy ciied out: "Ha, he didn't steal anything! I j ... ? : watched him. ' - j A thrill of terror is experienced < e \v tieu a brassy cjugu omuup suuuue : through the house at night.

Washington, IV b. 21 ?I today j asked the South Carolina representa - tives in congress to give their con- j stituents their views on the Cuban 1 , question. Senator Tillman iR out of the city, i Senator McLauiin said: The be:rt opinion I can form frotu readiug 1 he j j newapaptisis (but the blowing up of ; ! the Maine is not uue to an accident. ! | There seems to have been threats j I made in Habaua that the Maine ; would be destroyed if allowed to j anchor, and Capt. Sigsbee has wired j bo nfiw Hpnnrf mpnt not to stltd ! auother vessel there for fear it also would be destroyed. I don't thiuk the administration will hold out much longer against public opinion in the Cuban matter?a crisis is at hand. If the official report shows that the Maine was blown up by a government mine our government will have to act. I believe Spain? or a certain party in Spain?wants war wiih the United States. Each country seems to be waiting to lmvt the chip knocked off its shoulder. Representative Talbert said that he didn't care to express an opinion a9 to the cause of the destruction of the Maine until the facts are made known by the board of inquiry. "Cut,*' be said, "if Spanish treachery is shown t) be the cause I dozi't see that there is anything for us to do j but to give Spain a licking. I am J now and have long been in favor of j recognizing the independence of Mi*. Stokes sail!: The weight of undisputed evidence in hand points to the disaster from external exploI sion?most probably a submarine mine. The Spanish authorities knew the location of the mines and the Maine was assigned to ber place by the authorities and this makes out a j strong primafacie case of deliberate J treachery, in my judgment. Should j such prove to be the case the very least that could be demanded would be full compensation for the ship and reparation as far as possible for j ] the lives of the crew. We might be | justified in view of other circuni- j ! stances iu declaring war. f Dr. Strait thinks that the catastro- i | phe was the result of treachery, per j i haps on the part of some Spau'sh ; j followers of Weyler. If this be the i | case we would have to demand in- j j deinnity for meu and property and if ! ! this is refused we would have grounds 1 1 ; for a tight. Congressman Wilson said: Cou- | 1 I # # J gross is awaitiug the action of the j j administration, as the Republican 1 | leaders have adopted the policy of letting the administration pursue its own course. If the Cuban matter i ' could be once gotten before congress ; ' there would be speedy recognition of j I belligerency because there are enough ; | "Republicans to join the Democrats ' ! in the house to carry such a resoluj tion. Speaker Reed will not give | t the house au opportunity to vote. So j the matter is solely iu the hands of j j McKinley. Since the destruction cf ; | the Maine there has been tremendous 1 \ nressuro brought to bear upon the ! * ~ i President. Tbat, taken in eonuec: tion with the DeLoiue iucident and the admitted failure of autonomy, is ' | likely to result in the President sub- j ! mittiug a message immediately after the report of the Maine investigating j j committee indicating that ho will i j pursue the course uf intervention i ! which in is his last annual message he ! \ suggested might become necessary. J Tbat intervention will mean oue of j | two things; either the recognition of j I k'.lK<ravartnv wliieli will snr-edilv re- i j wu.iwfeitwuw, L. suit in Cuban independence, or the ; i purchase of her independence l>y i Cuba from Spain at something like j *100,000,000, with the United States j i superintending the collection of i | Cuban import revenues and thereby j i : securing tbo payment of the purchase ' j luodc'V. I do not tlr.uk JL're^iaent ' t 1 j McKinley will go to extent of letting j . I congress adjourn without taking j ' action himself or instructing the 1 i age. Prompt and i ? i-- t? i- i.i a o,.if uouse leauers iu nri cuugicsa n c act. The l?epubiican party cannot go before the country this fall with such a llagiant disregard of its platform pledges. As to Spain's liability. I think th3t our government can hold Spain responsible only in the event that Spanish authorities or Spanish agents wore in some way connected directly or indirectly with the explosion. Xo government can be held to answer for the act of a fanatic or fiend who has no official connection with that government. But even if Spain is not responsible for the damage the fact of the ex piUMOU Ull'ni'Ul? Ciu auviiuvuiii vwu tribuiiou to the existing lawless condition surrounding Cuba and will Lave itu effect in intlueuciug President MeKinley to act upon tbe conclusion which the great body of the people of the country have already reached, that Cuban autonomy is a failure unci that humanity demands that the anarchy and barbaiitv that has been prevailing iu tbe island for tbe past year be terminated by such proceedings on tbe part of our government as may be necessary. Congressman Latimer said that from present information be thought tbe ship was blown up from outside, but that be bad no sympathy with tbe feeling that Spain should be held responsible nnless it con be proveu that tbe government instigated tbe outrage. Congressman Elliott did not care to express an opinion or add any thing to increase tbe present excitement until tbe facts become known. Mr. Norton expressed tbe same views as Congressman Stokes. P.

To the Kditor of the Dispatch: It is indeed s;ul to be called upon | just at this time to chronicle the sad I news of the lamentable death of one of South Carolina's truest citizens: i Lexington's most industrious sous: j Gaston's most unliable and devoted i Imsbauds. j Mr. Otto Lomiz. was born in Ger ! many, August 20, 1820. Ihing pos' ecssed with that motive which char' ccttrizes every young man to aspire to high aims in hfe. he left his native ; country and embarked for the I'uited j States. 1 fe l.n.hd in the city of !

Here he was extensively engaged in the mcicuntilc I business for a number of years, ! whence lie came to Gaston, where he t i was running a good business till his ! death, which occurred on Saturday, j January 21), lsf?8. Ho leaves an j afflicted widow and a host of relatives : and friends to mourn his loss. j j By a close application to business and an untiring perseverance he had amassed a handsome property which he leaves to his widow, and to his successor, Mr. G. A. Goodwin. The funeral exercises were conducted by T. F. Hirers in the Baptist j : church, at Gaston, on the 81st. His ' j remains were laid to rest iu the ! i i cemetery to await the summons to ( I "come forth." Here "n the ground his body lies.

Taxes by Installment. | We lind these comments in the , Anderson Peopi.-s Advocate: The proposition to pay city taxes j in installments is certainly n good ! one and is a measure of practie.il , relief for the taxpayer. It would 1 enable I be business men to use one half of their tax moiiev in their busi doss for a while longer insteud of the city collecting the money and plue; ing it in the bank from which it is j again borrowed by the business men i and interest paid for its use. It is j money for which the city has no im mediate use and should not be collected until such tinio as the need | for its use arrives. Apiil anil Ocioi brr it seems to us would be a good i time for the collection of these taxes. It would be a measure of relief to the laboring class of the population who are <b pendent on their daily labor for their support as if would be much easier for thein to pay half at a time out of their tucagc-r earnings. If it is possible to inaugurate the system it .should bo done and now is a good time to begin it. The plan cf paving city taxes by installment is, we believe, a* Greenville idea. That it is based on "sound serine" can scarcely be <juestioned and The Peopl e Advocate has stated sorno of the reasons supporting it clearly and forcibly. ? "My dear," said Mr. Hawkins to bis better half the other morning, "do you know that you -have one of the best voices in the world?"
