Catarrh lias become such a common !
disease that a person entirely free from j
this disgusting complaint is seldom met i
with. It is customary to speak of Catarrh j
as nothing more serious than a bad cold,
a simple inflammation of the nose and i
throat. It is, in fact, a complicated and
very dangerous disease ; if not at first, it i
very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison through i
the general circulation is carried to all ,
parts of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis- i
factory and disappointing, because they dc ,
not reach the seat of the trouble. S. S. S.
does. It cleanses the blood of the poison i
and eliminates from the system all catarrhal
secretions, and thus cures thoroughly '
and permanently the worst cases. I
Mr. T. A. Williams, a leading dry-goods mcr- | )
chant of Spartanburg, S. C., writes r " For yean i
I bad a severe case of ' 1
nasal Catarrh, with all
the disagreeable effects eg i
which belong to that g TgL
disease, and which 6 . ?ggi (
make life painful and ??& &jg*
unendurable. I used JCw (
medicines prescribed by a i A
leading physicians and .jjSfffiL, W 1
suggested by numbers j\ \ J
of friends, but without |
getting any better. I
then began to take S. S. ,
S. It had the desired
effect, and cured me t
after taking eighteen <33xKK"..- iMWiZZm i
bottles. In my opinion S. S. S. is the only medicine
now in use that will effect a permanent cur<
of Catarrh." " ' ^ ^ ^

Colambia Evening Record, May 9. *
Over 2,000 people were at the 1
theatre last night to witness the 1
opening exercises of the Confederate s
reunion. The greatest enthusiasm
was displayed and the "rebel yell"
made the blood tirgle through one's
veins as the old Boldiers gave it
agein and again during the proceedings.
The whole lower floor was reserved
for the veterans and every seat
was taken. Seme hundred or more
had to stand. Many of the camps 6
brought their banners along and dur- a
iDg the height of the enthusiasm ^
they were waved by the bearers, a
making quite an inspiring scene. ; t
Both galleries were crowded with 8
ladies and gentlemen and the scene s
from the stage was a most notable I
one. a
The orchestra played "Dixie ' at j ^
the start and throughout the evening
and everv time its insnirinsr strains ?
V i a I c
were sounded there was the wildest ; (
cheering. j v
Several hundred people were seat- ; ^
ed on the stage, including many ;
ladies. Besides these there were j ^
Generals Hampton and Moorman, ' ^
General Walker, General Moorman, |
t
of New Orleans, General West, of
; ! \
Georgia, regimental commanders,
Governor McSweeney, members of
the supreme court and ethers.
CaptaiD Starling, of Camp Hampton
presided. As General Hampton
came in there was loud cheering, J
many of the veterans rising to their
feet as they yelled a welcome to the
general. ^
At first it was impossible to hear
the speakers beyond a few feet from .
them, which caused the audience

to the bad acoustic properties and \ .
th8 low tone of voice in which the ; j
speekers spoke they could not be '
heard.
Commander StarliDg called the as- j
semblage to order and introduced
Dr. Woodrow, who made an impres- j 1
sive prayer, though the audience and ; 1
few on the stage could not hear it j
owiDg to noise made by people coming j
and going. At the conclusion of the !
prayer the long metre doxology was
sung by the audience, being led by
State Treasurer Jennings and Mr. j
R. F. Martin.
Mayor Earle then made the wel- J
coming address. He read from his '
manuscript, but few could hear a j
word he said except those in his
immediate vicinity. He, however, ;
cordially welcomed the veterans, tell- |
ing them that the gates of Columbia :
had been thrown open to them, and
that Columbia's homes were theirs as
long as they stayed here.
Capt. Starling then introduced
Gen. HamptoD, who was received
with great cheering. The general
I apologized for the weakness of his
voice and as with the previous speak- !
ers little that he said cculd be heard.
Nevertheless, those in his immediate j
vicinity paid close attention and fre- j
quently applauded, and this entlius- I

iasm was infections so that the whole
crowd was cheering throughout his
address. The keynote of his speech
was that though the cause was lost
its principles would never be forgotten,
nor would the memory of the
heroism and csurage displayed in its
behalf be ever effaced.
Gen. Walker, commander of the
division, responded to the address of
welcome. He spoke strong and clear
and could be generally heard. He
ieturned sincere thanks for the splendid
welcome and magnificent hospitality
extended the veterans. He
3poke of Columbia's devotion to the
Vior oil;70nn
jausc auu. kuugiai>uiai\.u uvi
that they had builded from her ruins
\ city whose prosperity was gratifying
and whose continual growth
would eventually make her the metropolis
of the State. He referred to
the fact that Columbia was the birthplace
of the division. At the first
meeting there were fifteen camps
represented by twenty-nine delegates.
Now there aie 135 camps
with hundreds of gray-haired delegates.
Gen. Walker then read the tribute
to the dead and the women of South
dirolina, which was responded to by
;ke assemblage.
In a few appropriate words, he introduced
Miss Elizabeth Lumpkin,
who delived the address of welcome
:o the Georgia veterans.
Miss Lumpkin took the crowd by
storm and her reception was seemnelv
tbe heartiest ovation cf the
ivenicg. Her remarks were well
imed and replete with Doble sentiments.
She spoke with a clear,
strong voice, and her delivery was
'aultles'. In her address directly to
he veterans, after declaring that she
oved them all, the whole assemblage
086 en masse and cheered her to the
?cho. When she declared, with great
iramatic force, that it might be the
ions of veterans would forget the
reteraDs and their cause, but their
laughters never would, the enthusiasm
W88 without bounds. Though
i daughter of Georgia, she paid a
?lowiDg tribute to South Carolina,
md, in closing, called the veterans
he cavaliers of the earth. When
he bowed her adieu, those about the
tage heartily congratulated her on
ler effort?. The veterans cheered
ind cheered, and Miss Lumpkin
>owed her acknowledgments.
Among those who extended their
engratu'ations was General Gordon.
)n his appearance he was received
vith vociferous cheers and there
vere loud calls for him. He reponded
with a stirriDg speech and
he greatest enthusiasm was shown,
de pronounced General Hampton
he greatest South Carolinian, a man
without a stain on his life and with>ut
the probability of reproach. He
laid a Confederate-convention was
he noblest gathering beneath the
skies and on the brow of every one
)reeent could be read the word
'hero."
General West on behalf of the
Georgians, made an ekquent and
oeautifui response.

Rfv. Dr. Thornwell cut short his address.

Not seeiDg anything in the columns
of the dear old Dispatch from this
] section of the country, I will give
you a few items from around and
! about this flourishing neighborhood.
The farmers hereabouts are well
up with their work. The crops are
a little behind the usual time, which
! is due to the cool weather, but the
temperature has risen somewhat and
now the little corn is coming out considerable.
Small grain promiees to be aboun- :
| tiful crop and if nothing Lappets to
it the harvest will be abundant.
Mr. J. W. Addy has the finest Irish
potato patch in this section. He believes
in complying with the wants
of the people. Being a dispensary I
manager, he wishes to enforce the eld ;
motto, "ear, drink and be merry."
Chills and fever has been somewhat
a plague in this neighborhood
for several years, but lam glad to say
it is dying out to a certain extent, j
while there are still a few cases around !
here.

only puonc declaration so iar maae
on that point was that General Rafael
Portuondo of the Cuban delegation
just prior to his departure from New

Referring to the fear that the
United States government would use
its military forces in Cuba for the
coercion of the Cuban people, he
said, that the delegation were very
much gratified at President McKinley's
declaration on that point. According
to General Portuondo Presi'

the suspicions of the Cuban people
! were groundless and emphasized his
position by saying:
"Gentlemen, you need have no j
fears. Troops will not be sent into
Cuba unless conditions are little less
than anarchy."
The importance of this alleged
declaration lies in the fact that to obtain
some such official admission was
one of the main purposes of the delegation's
visit to Washington. Their
expressions of satisfaction as to the
result of their conferences are now
said to be due maidy to official declarations
made by the President of the

10.000 Bales of Cotton Burned.

was one of the greatest cotton
fires in the history of Augusta broke
forth at 1.30 o'clock this afternoon
The fire caught in the warehouse
of the Union Compress Company,
on the river bank.
The great warehouses of Phinizy
& Co., and S. M. Whitney soon
caught and were destroyed.
The warehouses are situated ou
the river bank and therefore there is
a strong draft and a good wind blowing.
There ar6 28,350 bales of cct
ton in Augusta and every bale of it
is witbin 100 yards of the fire.
Over 10,000 bales of cotton were

Wreck on the Southern.
I
A serious railroad accident occurred
on the morning of May Sr on
the Southern Railway near Trenton j
in which one man received injuries j
from which he has since died. The j
train consisted of six passenger j
coaches and one Pullman. So far as i
could be learned the train was de- l
railed by the breaking of a truck on
one of the cars after the train had
left Trenton.
Three white passengers were hurt
among them being 0. J. Ridgell, of
Batesburg, Lexington county, whose
leg was broken. It is most fortunate !
that more lives were not lost. The j
wreck was a bad one, completely de- j
molishing several cars and tearing up j
i the tract. The debris was cleared j
away as soon as possible.

To Withdraw Many Ships.
Washington, May G?The.greatest
lleet of warships ever assembled on
one station under th-> United States
Gag has been maintained in Asiatic
waters since soon after the battle of
Manila bay. During the civil war
there were more ships attached to the
North Atlantic and Gulf squadrons,
but they were cf less tonnage and
effectiveness than was the fleet in
Philippine and Chinese waters.
This latter aggregation numbered
fifty-three ships of all classes. Gradallv
it is to be reduced, and the first
steps have been taken in orders detaching
the Petrel and Brutus from
seivice under Rear Admiral Remey
and directing them to proceed to
home waters. Later orders will re
lieve many ships from further service
and direct them to the Pacific coast,
where they will be overhauled. Rear
Admiral Crowainehield called for a
statement as to the location and number
of ships now under command of
the three rear admirals, and found
that of the entire number twentythree
were in Manila harbor practically
unemployed. "Withdrawals of
a large number from patrol work,
upon which they have been employed
for two years, will permit a reduction
of at least one-half, and perhaps
more. Acting Secretary Hackett in
a few days will issue orders for several
additional ships to proceed to
San Francisco to be placed out of
commission. The crews will be transferred
tc the new battleships and
torpedo boat destroyers which are to
be commissioned during the summer.
The Oregon and Newalk will be the
first of the larger ships to reach the

by the monitors Montery and
Monadnock, which went to assist Admiral
Dewey in defending Manila
8g&iost attack by the Spanish fleet
which started through the Suez canal.
These withdrawals will lead to the
detachment of two flag officers and
thus reduce the station to a single
flag officer's command. Of late three
rear admirals have been on the station?Kfmpff.
in command of the
Chinese detachment; Remey, in command
of the entire statioD, and Rodger?,
with the flagship New York,
which recently arrived at Manila.
It is proposed to relieve Rear Admiral
R?mey and probably reestablish
the Europeau station with the
New York as the flagship and Rear
Admiral Rodgers in command. The
latter is on applicant for tbis command.
Naval cfficerB think it judicious
to allow Europe to see rome of
the latest products of American shipyards.
The Illinois, which is to go
into commission at Hampton Roads
June 15, may be sent to the European
station, and there is some probability
that the Olympia, which is nearly
ready for sea at BostoD, will also be
assigned there late in the summer.

Beware of a Cough.
A cough is not a disease but a
symptom. Consumption and bronchitis,
which are the most dangerous
and fatal disease?, have fcr their first
indication a persistent cough, and if
properly treated as soon as this cough
appears are easily cured. Chamberlain's
Cough Iismedy has proven
wonderfully successful, and gained
its wide reputation and extensive
sale by its success in curing the diseaees
which cause coughing. If it is
Dot beneficial it will not cost you a

The Difference.
Referring to the estimation in
which the people of the South and
those of the North hold the negro,
Dr. Parkhurst, of New York, recent*
ly said in a eerraoD: "The southerner
does not like the negro any better
than the average Northerner does,
and the two carry themselves toward
the negro with just about the same
amount of Christian consideration?
only of the two, the Southern white
man has perhaps this advantage,
that he does cot make quite so flamboyant
a pretense of ioviDgtbe negro
as his Northern confrere does. The
southern white man dislikes the negro,
and owns up to it. The white
man in the North dislikes the negro
and lies about it."
