ISf'O. _________ 1 NOTES AND COMMENTS. ! Tbe paper bag trust is one of the j latest. j Senator Tillman has made Kiplin's 1 "White Man's Burden" famous. , Washington's birthday was not I generally observed in this State. There are a great many bills awaiting the signature of Governor Eilerbe 1 to become laws. i The concrete foundation for the new Young Men's Christian Association of Columbia, was laid last week. Work on tie Sumter and Wateree railroad has been commenced and will be pushed rapidly until com pietea. The committee appointed by the last General Assembly to investigate the affairs of the penitentiary, has begun its labors. The executive committee of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society has fixed November 6:h for the opening of the State Fair. Col. J. P. Thomas, of Columbia, proposes to continue work on the Confederate rolls without pay. This is unselfish patriotism exemplified. The tenible grip has invaded the sacred precincts of the State bouse in Columbia and many of the State's servants are victims of its ravages. It is affirmed that there are 50,000 government employee's at Washington, the most of whom are absolutely useless and the balance get too much payMany tax payers of R'chland county failed to make their returns in the time presciibed by law, and the 50 per cent, penalty will be added to ! their last Year's returns. J ? The Secretary of State has over two hundred commissions for Magistrates and various county officers which the Governor has not been able to sign owing to his extreme illness. ife'v Cuban women are proving more formidable enemies to the South Carolina boys than were the Spanish soldiers to the Americans. They have won their way to the boys' hearts by their beauty, winning ways and dazzling eyes, and they are led willing captives to love's altar. A negro woman named Susie Little, while coming from Lauren3 to Columbia, jumped through a car window on the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens railroad, near Ballentine in this county, last Wednesday and was instantly killed. It is supposed that she was demented, brought on by domestic troubles. ?13 31 were found on her person. The Globs Phosphate works in Columbia were entirely destroyed by fire last week. It is supposed that the fire originated from a spark from a passing eDgine. About 10,000 toes of fertilizers were also burned. The destroyed property was fully covered by insurance. The works were leased by the Virginia-Carolina company and it is not known asyet if ths wj:k< will be rebuilt. Our News-Letter of Summit, came to us last week with one page printed in "Dutch." We congratulate our neighbor on its enterprise, but we confess our ignorance of that language and hence do not know what the matter had reference to, but we presume that it was the version of the German consul at Apia of the Samoan difficulty between that officer and the representatives^ Uncle Sam and John Bull. The infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R B. Hiller, of Hilton, this county, has passed from the sorrows and disappointments of this life into the unspeakable joys and eternal happiness of that bright and beautiful * * e *1 i t iana 01 never ending aay, wneresics- : ness and sorrow never enter and j where parting and death are unknown. May this dispensation of an all wise j G >d be turned into blessings of great joy to the bereaved parents. Senator Tillman lias introduced a ; joint resoluiion authorizing the Sec- j retary of War to lend 10,000 cots to the Confederate Veterans' Reunion which is t> be held in Charleston, next May. Senator Tillman has been { taking a great interest in South Car- i olina affairs, and as his con tern pora- j ries respect him for his sincerity, j distinguished ability and profound j statesmanship, the joint resolution j will probably be adopted and the j Veterans get the cots us they should j have. Mrs. Anna Elizabeth Mouts, fumil iaily known in the community in | which she resided as "Aunt Betsey ' t i- rr* * ; Derrick/* died on Tuesday of last ' week, at her home near New berg ' school house, in the Dutch Folk of ; this county, in the 74J year of her j age. She was greatly beloved by a large circle of relatives aDd friends for her lovely dispositon and moth- j eily character. Her earthly remains sleep beside those of her son in ihe ; beautiful but "silent city of the | dead" at St. Thomas. * Piesideut McKinley is sending a arge number of re-infoi cements to jren. Otis at Mauila, and still there's nore to follow. The Uuited States ire now beginning to experience what Spain had to contend with for centuies. According to the eternal fit- \ jess of things Spain sb< u\l now adIress a note to the United States, the land of the free and the homo of :he brave," in the name of humanity md fieedom that the government at ; Washington must recall her soldiers ?nd Ipflve the FiliDouos to woik out """" " ~ ~ 4T their own destiny. The Clemsou boys celebrated Washington's birthday by smiling and throwing kisses at the Winthrop girls. The Winthrop gills wouldn't keep them, so they smiled and threw the kisses back at the Clemson boys Both boys and girls enjoyed their sport. The Clemson boys returned to Clemson delighted with the progress tbey made in the game of billing and cooing, while the Winthrop girls retired to their slumbers to dream of a handsome fellow in grey uniform covered all over with big brass buttons. A party of citizens from the neighborhood of Phoenix, in Greenwood county, the scene of the race war during the last election, visited the town of Greenwood one night last week with the avowed purpose of ridding the county of the presence or the Tolberts, wno were tne instigators aod the ring leaders of the November riots. The men were on horseback, were heavily armed, quiet and sober, and about seventy-five stroDg. The men expressed themselves as beiDg determined that the Tolberts, from whose presence in their midst, they claim, they have suffered so loDg and so much, shall not tarry any where in that county for any length of time. They say that peace and good order cannot be maintained as long as these men remain in their midst to stir up strife between the races and that there is too much at stake to take any risks. As soon as tbey found that the Tolberts were not in town, the men quietly left for their homes, after making an earnest appeal to the leading citizens of the place to keep the Tolberts, like "John Brown's body," "marching on.'' These men know the situation better than we do there fore we cannot condemn them and will most assuredly not commend their act. BLIND GUIDES. .Blindness is one of the saddest misfortunes that can befall a human being. But there is a time when blindness stamps the blind as a criminal. That time is when the blind man undertakes leadership. Imagine the situation. Weak and suffering women, blind as to their own needs, put their hands in confi dence into the hand of some self styled leader, with the result that both fall into the ditch of failure, and she. poor thing-, staggers on a few more paces only to fall into the last ditch, the " house appointed for all living." AN EXPERIENCED EXPERT NEEDED. Let us drop all figures of speech and face the facts frankly. Here are thousands cf people suffering from disease of one form or another. The cry of the sufferer is for some one to lead him out of this desert of disease into the promised land of health. Here is Dr. R. V. Fierce, of Buffalo, X.Y., who has a record of more than a quarter of a million of cases and 98 out of every hundred led to perfect health. An experience of thirty years as chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., guarantees him to be familiar with every phase and form of disease. But consumption! Is that cured too by I)r. Pierce's medicines? Among the hopeless (so-called) cases were those who had the night-sweats, the hectic flush, the hacking cough, the racked lungs, and the emaciated, or wasted body, which are accepted symptoms of consumption. Their home ?liysicians said they had consumption, hey also said that tneir days were numbered. Yet these same people treated years ago. have lost the night-sweats, lost the lung pains, lost the cough, have regained their normal weight, and are living right along in the hearty enjoyment of a healthy, happy life. They eat well, sleep well, and enjoy life. Perhaps they are not cured. Perhaps their days are numbered. But if the number is three score and ten and they live a life FVLL OF HEALTHY ENJOYMENT. life might as well end bv consumption as v. rw ijy cux \ A/i. J i\ i w Medical Discovery lias produced such results in thousands of ca-e*. Mr. John G. Born. Liberty Ave.. Pittsburg. Pa., writes: " Some thirty month*- ago I said to my wise. 'I don't want to keep anything from you. T must tell you I am in the last stage of consumption." In Decemi>er. isoo t commenced taking Dr. Pierce-Golden Medical Discovery. 1 could then only speak in whisper-. I have t3k.cn thirteen bottles, and can say with truth I am greatly benefited. People are surpri-ed to hear me speak. 1 can halloo, and my voice ha- not been as good in eight years. Mv stomach was never in better condition. Formerly ! could not eat without suffering very much immediately after, but now I can eat anything I am al-o greatly relieved of that distressing suffocation. " Three month- ago I was talking to a man in the -hop when another person. \vh<> overln ard me was greatly surprised that I could speak so loud. as. for three years I could uot -pt-ah above a whisper." " I had bronchiti* for eighteen years and I was treated by three phvsiciuns but all failed." writes David Wart/en In ft. K-q . of Shoemakers ville. Berks Co.. Pa. ' Tisev toin m* iiu-re wjs no cure for me. T suffered from indigestion. and also from constipation: became very weak.

When I commenced taking these medicines I weighed one hundred and thirty pounds, now I weigh one hundred and seventy-two. n?j?i enjoy good health for one of my age I am *eventy-five.' " As you know, five years ago the doctors hail given me up to die with consumption." writes Mr. K. G. McKiuney. of Deepwatcr. Payette C'v. W. Va. "I took treatment from Doctor K V Tierce, and am entirely well now I have tak-u steadily, as directed, his ' <;olden Medical l?iscoverv.' " J-RHK! krki-;! FRjir.I To any reader of litis paper.

AtUaU. G?, 1 Has Seen Light. | To the EJitor of the Dispatch: There is a matter that I wish to present to the County Superintenj dent of Education, the County Board of Examiners, or a part of them, and I 11 i-..o*o,on of- Invnrn nnrt VfitVl YfillT I me nuMuco ul mijji, ^ i consent I will place it in your columns to secure the attention of all concerned. A few weeks ago an accomplished I agent went the rounds of this county armed with the endorsement of our Superintendent of Schools, some (one at least) of the Board of Examiner! and of many other distinguished educators, selling on time "till January, 1000/' what be claimed was a new departure in teaching mathematics. He had talk the people into the notion that, by the aid of these helps, anj child could master the subject in 8 short while, and that it was foolish { to be groping in the dark when light could be received in every corner at ?37.50 a deal. We, trustees of No | 27, got our lamp and when it came j prepaid to our nearest express office J your humble scribe brought it home ! and thought he would enlighten him! self before making the entire District | refulgent with arithmatical light. ] was sadly disappointed. There ie nothing in the whole thing that anj school teacher should not be able tc elucidate with a blackboard anc j chalk. It might De 01 some use as t ! review to teachers at institutes, bul ! for common school purpose, I con sider it almoRt worthless. Now, Mr Editor, I consider myself buncoec and that badly, and I want us to gel together and dtvise some way to gel out of this snap. I hope I am mi6 taken, but I am of the opinion thai | these pay certificates have alreadj been cashed at 20 per cent, discount thus giving the company ?30 foi what I am satisfied is not worth exceeding ?10. In his pamphlets he asked that certain things be taken on authority, when we al! know that every mathematical conclu sion is capable of demonstration ic every particular and if a man can t give the whys in arithematic he is not up to his business. Again, his map is all wrong in regard to Fairfield aod Lexington counties as, foi instance, he has Twelve Mile creel on the south side of the railroad. I am ready to deliver my goods in good order to Mr. Tufwiler, and am also ready to say that he will take them back or get his pay from No. 27 ! through the courts. What say you, I fellow Trustees! i Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This remedy is intended especially for coughs, colds, croup, whooping cough and influenza. It has become famous for its cures of these diseases, | over a large part of the civilized world. The most flattering testimonials have been received, giving accounts of its good work; of the aggravating and persistent coughs it has cured; c* severe colds that have yielded promptly to its soothing effects, and of the dangerous attacks of croup it has cured, often saving the life of the child The extensive use of it for whooping cough has shown that it robs that disease of all j dangerous const quences. Sold by i J. E Kaufmann. She Was Sony, i ? Toe man hid been absent from j New Yoik for a number of }eais. | During his absence many changes j had taken place. Some of hi? friends j had moved away and some had died. Though be bad taken the New Yoik papers pretty regularly, he had not j kept up with these friends of his as i he should have done. Const queutly now aud thru some one of theui that i he thought dead and buritd and forgotton came up to Lim and shook , him by the hand. Such shocks had the i fleet of giving hitn nervous prostration, or i neaily st; and ihey were of such freI (pac-nt occurrence that his health not | only became uidtrmiutd, but be ultirn .t' Iy anivtd at the conclusion that all his fiiends were yet alive. One evening he called upon a woi man friend who was living at u hotel. Arrived at her looms, he found her | *uirounded by a crowd of people, but be finally reached her and shock her i by the hand. | "You aie j ;>t tho same," he said, ; admiringly, "You haven't cbaDged a particle," which wag not at all true, for her hair had turned ro white ! that she hud the air of a tnuiqui*e in ! : some old picture. "And your bus- j baud, too,'" be went on, "be is just j the same as ever. I saw him just > uow down in the lobby. He was j I smoking." i TLe woman looked a trille stariled j for a moment, then recoveml her! composure with considerable effort. "I am sorry to bear, she rema.'ked, j gravely "that my busbaud is still j smoking. He has been dead for j twelve years." The Hapless Editor. .

"I will accept your assistance," said the editor. i?Tr>onlr (YnndnoeJ" Bold flip Pr>Tl. X UUUa UVkJv tributor. "I have at last found something you are willing toaccrp'!* "Hold 01!" shrieked the editor. "Will you try to sell me that j ,ke when I get out?" "Yes," said the contributor. "Then leave me to my fate." I have been afflicted with rheumatism for fourteen years and nothing seemed to give any relief. I was able to be around all the time, but 1 constantly suffering. I had tried 1 everything I could hear of and at last was told to try Chamberlain's ' Pain Balm, which I did, and was im mediately relieved and in a short ' time cured. I am happy to say that 1 it has not since returned. ?Josh Edgar, Germantown, Oil. For sale 1 by J. E. Kaufmann. i OBITUARY. Baylis E Monts died at the home ; of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. Thos. , Monte, after an illness of about eight ; weeks. He was born November 2, 1877 and died February 17, 1809, ; making his whole pilgrimage here on earth 21 years, 3 months and 14 j days. He was laid to rest in the r | family cemetery on the ISth of Feb > ruary. The funeral services were I conducted by the Rev. J. A. Cromer, i who deliver an able sermon from St. t Matthew vi:33 to a large congregation - of relatives and friends who bad . come to pay the last tribute of rel spect to one whom they all loved. We t cannot see why such a youDg man t should be plucked from amoDg us, - but God knows best for all, for "the t Lord giveth and the Lord bath taken 7 away* blessed be the name of the , Lord." He leaves a father and mother, two brothers, four sisters and a large > circle of relatives and friends to i mourn his departure. Ob, weeping, 1 trembling parents, the good sheppard who carries the lambs in bis t bosom looks pitiously upon you and ' says in loving tones, can you not ? trust your child with me.' Surely ( your heart in the midst of agony will reply, yes, Lord, I can think of his ' unerring wisdom, his almighty power, : bis boundless resources, his unutterable tenderness and above all his I infinite love, and vour faith will be > strengthened and sealed. Rememi ber that he loves your sainted child as tenderly as if there was not another child in the universe, and oh, how safe, how happy be must be with him. Bear in mind also the separation is only for a little while. Ah there has many a tear been shed, And many a heart been broken, For want of a gentle hand stretched i. forth, Or a woid in kindness spoken. D. K. A Cure for Sick Headache.
