Scrofula is but a modified form of Blood
Poison and Consumption. The parent
who is tainted by cither will see in th*
child the same disease /"C73>~>^

the form of swollen
glands of the neck and I
throat, catarrh, weak .wof ^ pA

a long time, for the disease develops slowly
in some cases, but the poison is in the
blood and will break out at the first favorable
opportunity. S. S. S. cures this wasting,
destructive disease by first purifying
and building up the blood and stimulating
and invigorating the whole system.
J. M. Seals, 115 Public Square. Nashville,Tenti_
says: "Tea years ago my daughter fell and cut
her forehead. From this wound the glands oa
the side of her face became swollen and bursted.
Some of the best doctors here and elsewhere
attended her without any benefit. We decided
to try S. S. S., and a few bottles cured her entirely."
SJfijfe makes new and pure
blood to nourish and
kj and is a positive and
^0^ safe cure lor Scrofula.
It overcomes all forms of blood poison,
whether inherited or acquired, and no
remedy so thoroughly and effectively
cleanses the blood. If you have any
blood trouble, or your child has inherited
some blood taint, take S. S. S. and get
the blood in good condition and prevent
the disease doing further demage.
Send for our free book and write out
physicians about your case. We make no
charge whatever for medical advice.

How This Editor Was Received While
on His Tour. ,
There are times in the life of every
one who has arrived at the age when 1
the responsibilities of life rest heavy <
upon the shoulders, which makes the 1
performance of duty a pleasure 1
rather than a drag. These occasions ]
are like a green oasis in the dreary 1
desert of life, in whose luxuriance of
shade, freshness and coolness the 1
weary traveler along the road from 1
the cradle to the grave can pause for (
awhile and quaff the refreshing waters
from the fountain of pleasure, (
revel in the rich beauties of nature ]
as revealed in the fragrance of flow- j
ers, the sweet songs and beautiful
plumage of birds and warm coloring
of field and forests.
Such occasions crosses the pathway
of this Editor when the time
rolls around for him to lay aside the
pen and scissors, the paste and brush,; ]
aDd stick and rule, hitch up faithful i
old Jumbo and hie away to the ever j
changing scenes of the rural districts j
and behold the beauties of nature in ]
all their purity and extravagance.
Ooe of these occasions happened 1
recently when the Auditor made the j
L - 1 IV. L? t-- 1 U _ ,
lour 01 lue cuuuty ior iuo purpose 1
of receiving assessments of property. '
"We have already told of the progress
made by the people in the several localities
of the county and the prosperity
which has come to them as
a reward for the pursuit of that progress.
We wish now to say something
concerning their social characteristics
and their generosity and
thoughtfulness in dispensing the
hospitality of their homes and their
conscientuous discharge of their social
and religious obligations. And
in order to do so we shall commence
at the beginning of the trip and
take the reader along so that he can
see what we saw.

comforts of our own home and after
a pleasant drive in the early winter
morning air, we arrived at Wessinger
station in the Fork, the first
point of disembarkation for the Auditor
and this disciple of the Fourth
Estate, and met Mr. J. J. Wessinger
who looked as hale and hearty as in
the days of yore and wearing a smile
upon his fatherly features like unto
the ones he used to wear when he
went a courtin' and pulled "lasses''
candy with his best girl. He is a
happy and genial gentleman and his
unassuming kindness win the hearts
of all.
Tbfl firat. niwht that we scent in
?*G " L
the Fork was at the pleasant and ho3
pitable country home of Mr. B. B.
Hiller. Here comfort and ease, ele-'
gance and grace were personified, and
it was indeed a charming picture to
see him and his interesting family
in their home life attending to their j
domestic duties with a cheerfulness
and thoughtfulness that wins the ad
miration and wonder of the stranger
within his gates. Mr. Hiller is the
efficient dispenser at Chapin and his
business relatious with those people

have been marked with countesy and
attention that they swear by him.
While sojourning at Mr. Josh
Shealy's, where the multitude had
gathered together to witness the
maricle working power of the Auditor
in transcribing property into dollars
and cents, the friendly anc honest
hand of Mr. J. E. C. Sheaiy met
ours in genuine friendship, and we
accepted with alacrity the warm invitation
extended to us to spend the
night in his home. Mr. Sheaiy is a
big hearted man and is one of nature's
noblemen, and has for an helpmate
an estimable and kindhearted lady
whose devotion to home and its enjoyment
is proverbial in the settkment.
At Cbapin we found this coming
city of the county in the throes of
business activity, consequently the
* 1---3 1- J 1

everything went on as m errily as a
marriage bell. This is a progessive
little town on the Columbia, Newberry
and Laurens Railroad and only
a few years ago evolved from a primeval
forest into its present dimensions.
Thrift, industry and business characterizes
its citizenship and beauty,
grace and culture distinguishes its
fair women. We would like to linger
yet awhile with these charming creatures,
but the Auditor, having no eye
for beauty of face and winning ways,
ruthlessly drags us to newer fields
where the cart wheels were calling
for us.
As the shades of night were creep
1 it. -
mg on we drove up to mecomioriauie
and happy looking home of Perry
B. Fulmer. There is one remarkable
trait about the character of Jumbo,
our horse, which is noticeable by all
those who have made the tour of the
county with us, and that is, be delights
to stop at those gates whose
owners have full barns and cribs and
whose larder oveiflows with the good I
things of life. We found this to be
the case at Mr. Falmer's, who is one
of the many who makes bis own supplies
and hence his barns are never
empty and the "gaunt wolf" never
howls at bis door. He has an intelligent
and refined family and their delight
is io administering to the comfort
and pleasure of their guests.
On Wednesday morning, having
Kr nioht'd roaf
UCCU 1CUCOUCU UJ luv uiguv u <v?>,
we met the sturdy sons of toil in
that region lying around the Cross
Roads, and pleasently spent the time
in social converse. These are intelligent
and progressive people, and
Fully posted on all questions of a political,
social and religious nature.
That afternoon found us in the live
and go-head town of Peak, comfortably
domiciled at the Peak hotel under
the motherly care of Mrs. Stuck,
the proprietress. This hotel is famous
the country over for its abundant
and excellent fares, clean linen
and home like comforts. Peak is a
growing town and has a large back
country from which to draw trade.
Its present pressing need is a free
ferry and we trust that the County
Commissioners of Fairfield and Lexington
counties can see their way
clear to supply this demand.
Next we were at Spring Hill mingling
with the patriotic and libertyloving
citizens of that vicinity, and
on leaving this place we took the
road that leads to the hospitable
home of that prince of good fellows,
Mr. John E. Fulmer, the latch string
of whose door we always find on the
outside, where we spent the night in
ease and luxury on a bed of softest
down.
Our next stopping place was in the
little, but none the less enterprising
town of Hilton, and found Happy
Bob Hiller. the man who feeds the
hungry, clothes the naked and shoes
the barefooted of that community,
ministering to the needs of his customers.

tion to break the staff of life with the
Rev. S. C. Ballentine, one of the
Fork's most able divines, we accepted
the invitation and enjoyed a sumptuous
dinner elegantly served. Mr.
Ballentine is greatly beloved by saint
and sinner alike for his nobleness of
heart ?\nd hand, and is noted for his
devout piety, eloquent tongue and
refined culture and learning. We
enjoyed the time spent with him and
his pleasant and accomplished famjiiy
Night found us comfortable housed
beneath the roof of H. J. Fulrner,

partiality to fish flebh had great piles

enjoyment, which reached from his
table on this mundane sphere to some
j point this side of the pearly gates.
: To say that we enjoyed the delicious
and bountiful spread but faintly expresses
the feeling of satisfaction that
came over the inner man when we had
to cry out hold, enough. The way our
modest Auditor hid fish under his vest
is a warning according to Hoyle and
he now proudly wears the distinction
of being the champion cat fish eater
of the State and vows by till the gods
that no one shall rob him of the title.
Our next point was at Ballentine,
at which place we found our young
friend, Jim Boozer. He looked as
natural as when behind the counters
at Lexington and had the appearance
. of an industrious and prosperous
man who has had fair winds and
clear weather.
From thence we drove home and
spent the holy sabbath under our own
vine and fig tree.
