The following is the II publican delegation to the National Republican conveniioi: At Large?E A. Webster, Robert Sinails. E H. Deas, and R. R Tolbert, Jr. ^First District? G. I. Cunningham, and W.

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 R.

Mr. Koester has been giving Columbia a good piper an 1 now tbere being money behind ! - ?...11 ^l/?nKtlr,ca the enterprise, lc >>m make many improvement?, which will make the paper more popular. 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. 7 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 bia just at this time for lumber of all kinds?Columbia State. Just send your orders over, neighbor; l>x ington can supply all the lumber 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 of the South.

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." Occasional. Batcsburg, S. C, April 9, 1900 Erookiand Notes. T) the E liter of the Dispatch: Charles Ihr, a Orcadian, who was | employed by Air. Oiirer, a contractor on the Seaboard Air Line, ma le a fatal mistake the otbu- day in th inking carbolic acid for spirits of Lilre. j .Mr. Fan was a blacksmith at the . amp and used the carbolic acid iiTi tl:f' rwb ill icp< rut I I the stock, lie als<j Lad a bot.le of | rpiiisof iitie in t be same box wheie ( be kept other medicine?, wLieh Le j Used at times to tj ii-1 his nerves. Feeling a little indisposed he took a bottle from the case thinking it was spiiitsof nitre and drank its contents 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 A A pleasure in there new life. R-v. S. C Balleutine spent a few days here last week, the guest of Prof. Derrick. L i grippe seems to be prevalent around. Mrs. Bziggs Cayce has been quite sick, but her many friends are glad to know that she is now convalescing. D. April lOlh, 1900. Notes from Around Delmar.

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. BLOOD FOISOX CUBED BX JOHX8TOX'8 SARSAPARILLA. Byron, Mich.. October 31. 1894. Williams. Davis.
