Daring the civil war nearly as much heroism was shown by the women of oar nation as by the brave oaUIotq \Tnnv a woman, weeping DVAUIV4W? J # ^ for her dead sod, bound up the wourd3 of his suffering comrades, rejoicing in their renewed strength, even while sorrowing for the one OX the battlefield. who was gone. At that time was laid the foundation for the worldfamed organization known as the Woman's Relief Corps, whose aid to the soldier of to-day, fighting against the world for a living, is no le68 notable than the heroism of the early Ws. One of the most earnest members of the corps at ByroD, III, is Mrs. James Houseweart, but illness once put a stop to her active woifc. a year bo ago, when she was nearing fifty years of age, the time when women must be most careful of their strength, Mrs. Houseweart was taken seriously ill. The family physician told her that she had reached a critical period of her life, and must be very careful. His prescriptions and treatment did not benefit her, and other treatment proved unavailing. At last Dr. Williams' Pink ills for Pale People were brought to her notice, with indisputable evidence that they were helpful in cases such as hers, and with renewed hope she tried the remedy. Last March she took the first box of the pills, which gave much relief. She was determined to be cured, and kept on with the medicine, until now eight boxes have been consumed, and sne ieeis like a new woman. Mrs. Houseweart said: ''I have taken only eight boxes, but I have been improving since I took the first dose. I do not believe I could have lived without the pills. They certainly have done me more good than any physician or any medicine I have ever tried.'* Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose bulk) at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all druggists, or direct by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Co, Schenectady, N. Y. The South's Duty. What Should Be Her Position in the Democratic Party. Washington Post. It seems to us that the time has come for the South to assert and to assume its proper place in the Democratic councils?that place beiDg by right one of domination. For more than thirty years the South has modestly and contentedly sat below the salt. It has played the part of the poor relative at the banquet. Furishiug three-fourths of the strength, the bone and sinew, the courage and the intelligence of the party, the South has meekly accepted the position of a mere subordinate, dictating nothing, suggesting nothing, satisfied to obey the orders of the minority and to do almost all the fight in a campaign which brings it no rewards. We say to our Southern friends that this arrangement has lasted much too long. Thft South todav eauiDS the Dem ? _ ? y -x x ocratic parky with most of its brains | and its conservatism. There are exceptions, of course, but our proposition holds good as a rule, and the fact remains that the South does not take its proper place in the conduct ' and management of the Democratic party. It still submits without pro- i test to the disqualification imposed upon it by the civil war. It still consents, after thirty three years of time, and after tire splendid demonstranon of patriotism made last summer, to be held in an inferior position, to be kept out of sight as a thing* to be ashamed of, and to be used only as the rank and file of an army it really dominates by virtue of numbers, intellect and valor. No greater anom aly can be imagined than that which is presented by the South's acquise, cence in the arogant ^nd ridiculous 3E DF T77". TZ ET, - Solicts a Share of hypothesis set up within the Democratic councils by the North and East. It^as reached a point at which even Northern and Eastern Democrats regard it with wonder and contempt. If the Democratic party is to sucon^r fnf.tirfi national contest, it must do so through the expedient of the Souths leadership. The elections this year have shown that the Democracy can win more easily by adhering strictly to its principles and by a sedulous avoidance of timp saving and spacious alliances with Populism. This abomnable policy was adopted in 1888, when the Eastern Democrats, acting for Mr. Cleveland, induced the party to abandon its organization in States where Populists held the balance of power? such Sates as Nebraska for example and deliver its vote to a ticket and a platform which honest Democrats could not view save with discontent and shame. Mr. Cleveland was the Eastern and Northern fetich and dishonor could be advocated in his name. But the policy of cowardice and infamy has brought no strength to the Democracy and this year the proposition has been proved in every State wherein that policy was at one time tolerated. We all know, now, that the Democrats are stronger when they stand fast-by their traditions and their record, and there goes with this the conviction that Democratic leadership must, for the future, be left to those who furnish fho strength and common """ r ?. - o sense ancl self respect. In the South we find the fighting material, the conservatism and the statesmanship of the Democracy. To the South we should look for its dictators and its leaders. The unnatural arrangement has outlived its .time. Let us have the dispensation of reason and propriety. Treaty Not Signed. Only a Few of the Articles Have Been Arranged. "Washington, November 30.?Contrary to what seemed to be the general expectation, the peace treaty has uot been signed in Paris. The commissions are no\. proceeding with negotiations with a rapidity that is eminently satisfactory to all concerned, but it is said to be a physical imposibility for all the subjects requiring adjustment to be closed up immediately. Respecting the various matters that are covered by the treaties with Spain, which have been unsettled by the renunciation of those treaties at the beginning of the war, it is the present purpose to adopt the simple expedient cf providing for a renewal of those treaties in the general articles. Nothing can be said perhaps in the treaty itself as to the institution of negotiations to replace those old treaties with more moderate conventions, but it is not doubted that at a convenient time such negotiations will be had, though it is not desired that the conclusion of the J peace treaty be retarded by embark- ! ing at this time upon a discussion of j these complex and delicate questions, j Therefore, if this view is correct, the ! peace treaty will be of a wider scope I than was in contemplation a few days | ago, for in this single document pre- I vision will likely be made for a com- ! plete resumption of .relations,'diplomatic and commercial, between the two countries. ? . How To Find Out. Fill a bottle or common glass witn your water and let it stand twenty-four hours: a sediment or settling indicates au unhealthy condition of the kidneys; if it stains your linen it is evidence of kidney trouble: too frequent desire to pass it or pain in the back is also convincing proof that the kid| neys and bladder cro out of order. WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowledge so ' otten expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- ; Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in | the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability tc hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being com pelled to go often daring the day, and to get np many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of SwampRoot is soon realiz-d. It stands the highest for its wouderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. At druggists fifty cents or one dollar You may have a sample bottle and a book that tells more about it, both sent absolutely free by mail, if you send your address to Dr. Kilmer Co., Binghamton, N.

Another Storm Now Raging Will Interfer With the Work of Rescue. The Savannah Steamer Gate City is Safe. Boston, Mass, November 30.? The news of the loss of the Boston and Portland Steam Packet company's steamer Portland, off Cape Ccd, and the death of more than 150 persons, comprising the passengers on/3 nram nf tbo cfonmpr and thp news from the hitherto unheard from ports along Cape ?jd, showing at least a score and a half of vessels were wrecked along that shore with a loss of twelve lives, has come as a dire climax to previous reports of disasters resulting from Saturday night's storm. There are still other places to be heard from on both sides of the Cape which have not yet been reached by train on account of washouts, and which are cut off by other means of communication by broken wires, blockaded highways and shattered bridges. While the total loss of life cannot be estimated with any degree of accuracy, it is known that more than 200 persons perished. This estimate is made on a basis of only one from each crew reported missing and each of which would include at least three, while the larger schooners have seven or eight men aboard. ? % The attempt to estimate the financial losses sustained by the shipping is equally difficult, but it appears the bulk of the damages was done be tween Cipe Ann, where a score or more vessels were lost, and Cutty Hunk, where the steamer Warwick is on the rocks. From present reports it is known that fifty 6ix vessels are totally wrecked, while fortynine are ashore with hardly a chance of being saved. Of the fifty-six total wrecks (barges not included) fortythree craft aggregate 12,202 gross tonuage. Of those in perilous positions twenty-eight aggregate 7,159 tons. The stranding of the big English liner Ohio and the ocean tug Tamaqua is not included in the estimate given, nor manv big barges ashore in Boston harbor. The position of these latter craft are now dangerous for they are exposed to the north east I storm wuicu ue{,rau tuis uiuruiug. FIVE BODIES RECOVERED. j Orleans, Mass., November 30.? Five bodies were recovered here from the Portland. The vessel was wrecked just north of Cipe Cod. The wreckI age and a great many bodies are i drifting south, possibly as far as ! Nantucket. It is thought that the I north east gale of today will bring i the bodies in. The entire Cape is j patrolled. The body of Dudley ' Freeman is the only one recognized | as yet. GATE CITY SAFE.

A The steamer Chattahoochee, which arrived here last night, reports that she passed the Gate City off Montauk, Point, L. I, Monday afternoon, and nothing amiss with the Savannah liner as far as could be observed. The storm was over at the time the Gate City was seen. ANOTHER STORM HAS STARTED. BostoD, Mass;, November 30 ? Another north east started here ] just before 7 o'clock this morning, | and an hour later settled down in a | way that promised several inches of snow at least. A brisk wind, 20 miles an hour was blowing from the north east. These condition will greatly interfere with the work that is being done at points where ves, sels are wrecked, as the sea is running high and the snow is thick on the water. The weather bureau officials state that the storm will probably continue all day. NEW YORK SNOW BOUND. New York, Nov. 30.?The storm which began last night with rain followed by hail and snow blocked traffic in the suburbs today and delayed it the city. While the storm had none of the severity of the blow of Saturday and Sunday, coming so soon on the heels of that storm, it increased the difficulties of the sitution. Even the elevated lines suffered today and many persons were obliged to walk long distances in order to get down town. The mam line of the Long Island railroad is again blockaded, and on a number of its local branch eg traffic is also suspended. A train is buried in the now bank at Mineola. The trouble is aggravated by high winds which refilled the cut made through the drifts that results from Sunday's storm. $100 Reward $100.

The perfectly healthy tongue is cleaD, moist, lies loosely in the mouth, is round at the edge and has no prominently papillae. The tongue may be furred from local causes or from sympathy with the stomach, intestines or liver. The dry tongue occurs most frequently in fever, and indicates a nervous prostration or depression. A white tongue is diagnostic simply of the feverish condition, with perhaps a sour stomach. "When the tongue is moist and yellowish brown it shows discorded digestion. When dry and brown it indicates a low state of the system, possibly typhoid. When the tongue is dry and red and smooth look out for inflammation, gastric or intestinal. When the papillae on the end of the tongue are raised and very red it is called a strawberry tongue, and that means scarlet fever. Sharp, pointed red tongues will j hint of brain irritation or inflamma- j tiOD. A Yellow coating on the tongue in- j dicates liver derangement. When so much can be gained from j an examination of the tongue it is j important that the youngest child j should be taught to put it out, so j that it can be visible to the uttermost point in the throat. ^ | Hilton's Iodoform Liniment will j kill the poison from poison Ivy, j counteract poison from bites of j snakes, stings of insects.

True Bill Returned Today?Grand Jury Made Its Report This Morning Charging the Parties With Conspiring Against James W. Tolbert While in the Discharge of Duty. Columbia Kcgister, Dec. 1. The grand jury of the United States district court found a true bill for consipracy this morning against W. L. Sturkie, John Dunlap, Wade Cothran, Henry Martin, J. P. Jennings, J. Q. Still well, J. L. Reynolds, L. Tucker and Thomas Bentley, all of McCormick. These parties are under indictment for conspiracy against James W. Tolbert, clerk in the postoffice at McCormick. This interesting development in the troubles growing out of the Phoenix election riot, was brought about by United States District Attorney Abial Lathrop. He was acting under instructions and in the discharge of his duty but it is understood that one of the Tolberts op- j posed taking the matter into court. The general charge is conspiracy j in violation of United States statutes 5508 and 5518. There are seven or eight counts under each charge. There is no prosecutor in the case, but the presentment was made by Mr. Lathrop in his official capacity. The indictment was presented to the grand jury yesterday afternoon. James W. Tolbert, Mrs. Nannie J. Tolbert, his wife; and Mrs. E. M. Palmer, were sworn as witnesses, and their testimony-was taken before the grand jury yesterday afternoon. Of course, the proceedings of the grand jury are not public, and the facts recited in the testimony could not be obtained. Messrs. K. li Tolbert, James VV. Tolbert, Joe Tolbert and Thomas W. Tolbert and Mrs. James W. Tolbert have been in the city for a day or two, and the fact that their meeting was coincident with the session of the United States district court made many suspect that there was some ulterior cause for their being here, and caused some speculation. The case will be tried at this term of court and the result will be anxiously awaited. New Battleship Stuck in 2?ud. The Wisconsin Grounded When She Left the Ways?Must be Dug Out.

After the election of officers the [ program previously published was I called and responded to as follows: j Number Work, a class of small chil! dren?Miss Ellen Hendrix; Exhibi! tions?Prof. Thaddeus W. Dreher. : Prof. Dreher very ably discussed this j subject. He brought out the fact ; that exhibitions may be used as the means for superficial display on the part of teacher and pupils, or arouse | the patron's interest in the school I He dwelt on the question, "can we, I as teachers, afford to drag an exhibition down to the common level of theatrical or fun making intertainmentsf showing that we cannot conscientiously make this great sacrifice of morals. He also showed that even were interest aroused in school work that it was bought at too dear a price when seven or eight weeks were spent in preparing for these exhibitions. Exhibitions are commendable when they are made up of questions which test the real knowledge of the children, and even these place nervous children at great disadvantage. Official business prevented the attandance of Superintendent Farr, and Prof. Haynes. The Executive Committee prepared the following program for December 17th next: 1. The Story of Education?Prof. L.
