They have good material to select from, but will they select the best pieces of timber is horse of another color. The contract for wiring the public buildings in Columbia has been let, and will aggregate S10,000. When the work is completed there will be "more light" on the subject. Kmifh Dennis. two white men charged with burning the town of Timmonsville recently, have been granted bail in the sum of 83,000 each. Public opinion as to their guilt is about evenly divided.

Report says that Secretary Root has decided adversely upon the application of W. P. Crawford, tf Chester, for appointment as Second Lieutenant in the regular army, on the ground that it is charged that Crawford iilted bis fiancee on the eve of the day named for his marriage, 1 which conduct is considered by the army officials unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. t wmammMmmmmmtaammmmKummBrnmBBuammmmrmmmmmam I BAD BLOOD, BAD COMPLEXION, j The skin is the seat of an almost end- I less variety of diseases. They are known j i by various names, but are all due to the j , same cause, acid and other poisons in ! j the blood that irritate and interfere with j ; the proper action of the skin. To have a smooth, soft skin, free from all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure ; and healthy. The many preparations of j i arsenic and potash and the large number ; i of face powders and lotions generally i used in this class of diseases cover up 1 for a short time, but cannot remove per- i manentlv the ugly blotches and the red, j disfiguring pimples. Eternal vigilance is the price of a beautiful complexion j when such remedies are relied on. Mr. H. T. Shobe. c;o4 I.ucas Avenue. St. Louis. I Mo., says : " Mj- daughter was afflicted lor years with a disfiguring eruption on her face, which resisted all treatment. She was taken to two celebrated health springs but received no benefit. Many medicines were prescribed, but without result, until we decided to try S. S. S., and by the time the first bottle was finished the eruption began to disappear. A dozen bottles cured her completely ana left her skin perfectly smooth. She is now seventeen years old. and not a sign of ?v.? omharrattinf disease has ever returned." S. S. S. is a positive, unfailing cure for the worst forms of skin troubles. It is the greatest of all blood purifiers, and the only one guaranteed purely vegetable. Bad blood makes bad complexions. makes new, rich blood * * 0 ' ? ? 1 I.U.. a L.-,rv>?

Many farmers of the State have come to the conclusion that it is more economical to raise their own bacon than to buy it from th9 West "While tNe lamp of life holds out to burn, the vilest sinner may return" and we trust that the farmers will return to the old South Carolina custom of having a smoke house and 1 corn crib in your own back yard. More hog and hominy and not quite so much cotton is the secret of successful farming.
