Divided $17,000.
. Alliance Exchange at Last Out of Existence.
; V * -? *
The Alliance Exchange has formally
gone out of business. It has
practically been in that condition for
several years though its corporate
existence has been kept up. The
Alliance had $17,000 on hand and
there has been a great deal of cod- I
troverey over what disposition should
. t be made of it. The executive committee
having the matter in charge
met in this city, and finally coDcluded
to take this money and divider it
p?o rata. This will be an immense
job, bat it is understood that the
sob-alliances will get as nearly as
possible the amount of money originally
contributed to the fand, and
*bey can make whatever disposition
of it that they wish. It is said that
some will devote their share to char it
able purposes, and others will give
it to schools. Still others will attempt
to return the money to individuals.
It will thus be seen that
whatever plan is followed, it is going
to be a difficult matter to equitably
dispose of it, for not only are some
" * *? i i. t_
of tbe contnDutors aeaa, out buoalliances
also have long since been
disbanded.
The money was deposited with the
old Farmers and Mechanics bank,
which has since been merged with
the Palmetto bank.
Stepped Against a Hot Store.
A child of Mrs. Geo. T. BeneoD,
when getting his nsoal Saturday
night bath, stepped back against a
hot stove which bnrned him severely
The child-was in great sgony and
his mother conld do nothing to pacify
him. Remembering that she had
a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm
in the honse, she thought she would
try it. In less than half an hour
after applying it the child was quiet
and asleep, and in less than two
weeks was welL Mrs. Benson is a

With tbe closing of the court here
la6t Saturday, concludes tbe judicial
duties of Judge O. W. Buchanan, so
far as Laurens county is concerned
His term of cffice will expire next
spring, and bis numerous friends all
over tbe State regret his retirement.
He has been one of the best "Refrom
Judges," and while he has not altogether
escaped some eevere criticism
by bis political opponents, they are
obliged to admit that he has made a
most just and able judge.' South
Carolina will need Judge Buchanan

A Startling Surprise.
Yery few could believe in looking
at A. T. Hcadley, a healthy, robust
blacksmith of Tilden, Ind., that for
ten years he suffered such tortures
from Rheumatism as few could endore
and live. But a Wonderful
change followed his taking Electric
Bitters. "Two bottles wholly cured
me," he writes, "and I have not felt
& twinge in over a year." They regulate
the Kidneys, purify the blood
and cure Rheumatism, Neuralgia,
Nervousness, improve digestion and
give perfect health. Try them.

STORY OF A FAMOUS POEM
Hovr Gray'* MF*egy" Blade Its First
Public Appearance.
One of the most ceTebrated of eighteenth
century poems. Gray's "Elegy,"
made its first public appearance in the
shape of a hurriedly printed pamphlet,
which was sold for sixpence. This publication
was the result of a curious
race for priority. Gray completed the
poem some time in 1750, but had no
immediate intention of publishing it.
A copy, however, found its way into
the hands of a Mr. Owen, the publisher
and proprietor of the Magazine of
Magazines, a recently established periodical,
and he wrote to the poet stating
his intention of printing it in his
magazine, and asking his co-operation.
The proposal was not at all agreeable
to Gray, but seeing that publication was

Walpole explaining the circumstance
and asking liim to get Dodsley to print
it immediately, but without the author's
name. Walpole handed the
poem to Dodsley on Feb. 12, 1751, and
on the 20th a copy was in Gray's hands
at Cambridge, so that it was probably
published in London on the 18th or
19th. The Magazine of Magazines for
February, according to the then custom,
was published toward the end of
the month, and may have come out on
the same day. The rival editions must
have appeared, it is pretty safe to say,
within a few hours of each other. The
action of the magazine editor was
hardly justifiable, but it laid the reading
world under a debt of obligation
by forcing t^e poem into print Several
original copies of the "Elegy" in
the poet's writing are in existence.
One, which was sold for $1,150 at
Sotheby's in 1S7?, was especially interesting
from the number of corrections
and erasures made by the author's
hand. In this manuscript Gray
had substituted "Cromwell" and "Milton"
for "Caesar and "Tully" as he had
originally written. His friend M^son
is said to have suggested this altera

Nothing can tal e the place of yoar
county paper. For county news and
for county pride it should go into every
home. But for news from the capital
of your State and every county in
South Carolina, served fresh every
day; for daily news from Washington,
the United States and every other
quarter of the globe, nothing can take
the place in South Carolina homes of
The Daily State.
These are momentous times in history.
We are in the midst of wars,
strikes' and political struggles of great
importance. The next session of our
legislature, with the inauguration of
a new governor, will have peculiar interest.
Man or woman, to keep up
with the times, must read the daily
history of the world,"and that is recorded
in entertaining style in The
State. The State will be sent daily for
58 a year, Si for 6 months, $2 for 3
montns, or jusi a iracudu uvu
of a postage stamp for one letter a
dayA Cheap education and information
for a family for 2 1-5 cents a day,
isn't it? ,
But if you can't afford that, there is
The Semi-Weekly State, issued Tuesdays
and Fridays, each issue containing
the most important news from all
South Carolina and the world at large
for that day and the preceding days
since the last issue. And this may be
obtained for $2 a year, $1 for 6 months,
or just a fraction over a half cent a
day!
No family in South Carolina is too
poor to take this paper. No money can
be spent to better advantage by a poor
family. It is a necessity. Subscribe
