The delegation is said to be solid

A joint stock company has been
organized to publish the Columbia
E/anicg Record. Au excellent boa;d
of dmelois have- been elected,
among whom are seme well kLown
business men of that city. Mr. G

Judge Gage has refused the motion
for a new trial in the case of
Mr. Watte, the penitentiary guard
who W1 into a cut of the S. A. L
railroad in Columbia last year, against
* the Seaboard Air Line. The case
was recently heard bv the Richland
j j
county court and Mr. Y>"atts given
$7,000 damages. The railroad company
asked for a new trial with the
above result.

The decision of the State Supreme
Couit of Kentucky was agsiust the
Republican claimant for Governor.
The case gees to the United States
Court
on a writ cf error. Tbe tactics
of the 12 'publican leaders seem
to be dtly so as to give Mr. Taylor
a chance to serve out the term before
the case has been decided by the
. courts.
_
Two shots were fired at the P:ince
of Wales, the heir apparent to the
Throne of England, as he was leaving
the railroad statiou in Brussels
on April 4 h. Anti British feeling is
thought to be the motive which instigated
the anarchist to attempt such
a cowardly and dastardly deed.
Col. W. A. Xeal, late superinteDdent
of the penitentiary, has been
acquitted by a Richland county jury
of the charge of breace of trust
with fraudulent intent and grand
larceny in the Fowler draft matter.
There are other cases against him.
There is a great demand in Colum

all kinds?Columbia State. Just

needed, of the finest and best quality
There is no probability that the
war tax will be reduced. It is a suecessful
revenue raiser and the Republican
party kuows a good thing
when it sees it, and holds on to h
with a death grip.
The United States is the greatest
bread and meat producing country
in the world. She raises more than
she consumes and exports the surplus.
Rumor has it that two more cotton
mills are to be built in Columbia.
If this cotton mill building continues
Columbia will be the Lowell

The story of love is as old as the world,
and as ail embracing as the universe. It
furnishes the sentiment for all romancesall
novels?all plays.
The novelist considers it wholly from the
sentimental, intellectual side, but there is
another aspect even more important?the
physical side. Sentimental love between
men and women leads to close physical association?to
marriage?to the rearing of
children. And <o health must be considered.
A.weak, sickly, head aehey. backache}*
woman cannot be a good, helpful
wife. She cannot bear healthy, happy
children. She cannot give her children
the proper care and training.
A sick woman nas 110 ngm. 10 man v. .t.
sick woman lias no right to attempt motherhood.
But no woman need be sick unless afflicted
with cancer. There is a sure way
for her to regain her health. She need not
go to a local doctor and submit to the disagreeable
questionings, "examinations"
and "local treatments" so invariably insisted
upon, and so justly abhorrent to
every modest woman.
I)r. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo. X. Y., has
cured more cases of female weakness than
any hundred local practitioners. He has
proved that diseases distinctly feminine can
be cured right in the privacy of home.
Write to him stating your symptoms and
an account of your trouble and he will give
your case careful, confidential consideration
and prescribe for you free of charge.
Mrs. O. X. Fisher, of 1S61 I.exington Avenue,
New York City, writes: " I had been a sufferer
from nervousness with all its symptoms and
complications. In the spring of 1S97 I began to
take l)r. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Now I
am not cross and irritable. I have a good color
in tuy face aud have gained ten pounds."
Deatfi of Mr. Seaborn Jones.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
"Born in 1816, died in 1900"
Such is the extremes of Seaborn
Jones. His wa3 a long and useful
life. The first great calamity befell
him about a year ago, when one
who had been his helpmate bis stay
and almost his life for over sixty
years, w 13 called to her reward. The
loss was almost more than he could
b^ar. The life of this good man was
a singular one and the end pathetic
in the extreme. From his childhood
he was a hard worker, starting in
early manhood, he had only two
prominent blessings to begin life's
fitful journey with, but happily they
were among the best that ever fell
to the lot of man. They were good
health and a wife, than whom no
man ever had one better and few indeed
as good. These were the only
things that Seaborn Jones had when
. be began his life's work and he
labored with an energy and zeal that
was i" tiring. His character was
the most scupulous honesty, no one
has ever yet beeu found that doubted
his integrity and the proverb "honest
as old man Jones" was the standard
pointed to by those who wished
to describe their approval of correct
transactions. His constant activity
was rewarded by his accumulation of
a reasonable amount of property and
in the eveutide of life, he, in a measure,
retired from his labors and bade
rair to spend his remaining years in
quiet and comfortable association
with his family who, were still with
uim, (but the ways of providence are
mysterious; in eteruiiy, though we
will see clearly why such t hings are)
only a few years ago, Mr. Jones was
marked as a victim of that fell
destroyer, ''Cancer" and his sufferings
can be understood, but he d d
not murmur nor complain, but with
a resignation that was characteristic
of the man, he steadily went on in
his domestic duties as though nothing
was giving him pain. He never
divided his sufferings, but bore them
alone and in silence. All was done
for him that ecu d be dene. Loving
hands of faithful children ministered
to (very possible want aud could
heroic devotion have removed the
insideous disease he would have been
well today, but such were not the
decrees of providence and gradually
bis life ebbed away, and Thursdry,
the o:b, inst, he returned to the L)rd
;he trust and the responsibility that
bad b(en given him Si years ago.
Fiidav night after a thoughtful
J a o
funeral sermon by Ilov. N. N. Burton,
there were two graves instead cf
one in the little plot in Batesburg's
cemetery, and two who, for much
more than half a century walked side
by side are now close to each other
again linked by laurel wreathes.
Met Links we can almost hear their
gentle whispers as they are reunited
after only a brief separation. How
happy they surely are. Kind reader,
assist me for a moment and lets
draw aside in imagination the curtain
that separates us from the great
beyond and with an eye of faith see
he meeting of this devoted couple in
the "Edtn above"' we can truly ex
claim with the sacred historian, 'I
is not ali of Death to Die."

a'heu he sood discovered hi3 fatal
mistake and exclaimed that he hid
swallowed carbolic acid. Dr. Barron
*a; immediately summoned and
found his patient in a hopeless condition
when he arrived, but however
he used every available means to
alleviite the min's suffering, which
were futile. He attempted to remove
his patient to the hospital, but Mr.
Fan died before he ariived to the
biidge. The deceased was a quiet
man with temperate habits. His remains
were interred near Cayce.
Oj last evening the writer wit
nessed a very romantic marriage, a
gentleman came in tbe store and
asktd to have the ceremony performed.
This was quite a strange occurrence
in a dry goods store, as much
as a surprise to the proprietor. The
party wishing the knot tied at once,
Mr. Witt, a notary, was called in and
soon tbe happy party, Mr. Wade G.
Gregory and Miss Anna P. Sox,
daughter of Mr. John B. Sox, were
happily pronounced man and wife.
The bridal party then went to the
home of Mrs. A. D. Shull, sister of
the groom, where they spent the
evening.
Ou Sunday evening at the Baptist
church, Mr. Geo. Busby and Miss
Carrie, the lovely daughter of Mr. J.
L. Berry, were married by Ifov.
Mr. Duren. She has a host of
friends here and in the county,
while the groom is a popular young
man and holds a lucrative position in
the Columbia Mills. Both Mr. and
Mrs. Busby, have many friends who
who wish them much haoDiness and

SEVEN RUNNING SORES CURED
BY
Johnston's Sarsaparilla
QUART_bottles.
THE GREAT SPRING MEDICINE.
JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA as a Blood Food and Nerve Energfcer. is the
greatest SPRING MEDICINE ever discovered. It comes as a rich blessing from
heaven to the " worn out." the run down, the overworked and debilitated. That " tired
feeling." those "sinkingspells." the languor and despondency which arise from badly nourished
nerves, from thin, vitiated blood and an underfed body, vanish as if by a magic
spell. The weariness, lassitude and nervous prostration which accompany the spring.
time and the heat of summer, are conquered and banished at once. For every form of
neurasthenia, and all ailments of the brain and nerve, insomnia, hysteria and nervousness
generally, it is almost a specific. It furnishes the very elements to rebuild worn-out nerve
tissues. It feeds brain, nerve centers and nerves, calming and equalizing their action; it
makes rich. red. honest blood. Newness of life, new hope, new strength follow its faithful
use. It makes the weak strong, and the old young again.
It was the antiquated (but now happily exploded) method in the good old times, to
treat Salt Rheum, Scrofula, Cancer and other troublesome disorders arising from
BLOOD TAINT with powerful alteratives, such as mercury, arsenic and other mineral
agents. It was expected by this treatment that the poison could be killed while the blood
was left to course through its channels holding in its circulation the specific germs of the
disease. But in this way. every part of the body became more or less diseased. Nothing
can be more terrible than a horribly destructive blood taint. It not only attacks virulently
the different structures of the body, but many times the bones are honey-combed
and destroyed. It often seeks out the nerves and spinal cord, and again it will bring de
cay and death to some vital organ, as the kidneys, liver or stomach. There is only one
scientific method for the cure of blood taint. That is, PURIFICATION I Every particle
of the blood must be removed through the execretory channels, the lungs, kidneys, bowels,
liver and skin. " First pure, then peaceable." The great restorative, reconstructive and
vitalizer of the blood, JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA, not only radically and exhaustively
removes the taint, but also removes all mercury, calomel and other minerals,
and fills the veins and arteries with the ruby, glowing current of vitality. "The blood is
the life." Good health means pure blood. Tne eld and reliable remedy, JOHNSTON'S
SARSAPARILLA, is universally regarded as the greatest Blood Purifier ever discov- I
ered. This fact is now established beyond question or cavil.
