,{We wonder what has become of
Columbia-Lexington electric line?"?
Columbia Afternoon Record. Possess
thy soul with patience, brother,
and do thyself no harm. Rome was
not built in a day, neither are rails
roads constructed in a week. In the
meantime we opine that the electric
railway people are giving themselves
no concern whatever about what our
perplexed neighbor across the Con
garee may or may Dot addle its brain
over.
After years of patient waiting a
Charleston jary has at last been
found who are unwilling to peijare
themselves by bringing in a verdict
acquitting men charged with violating
the dispensary law at variance with
the evidence adduced. In the city
court on the foh ten blind tigers
were convicted.
A special term of the court of
sessions for Newberry county was
convened on the Gtb, inst, with Mr.
G. DaDcan Bellinger as special
Jndge. This co~- was convened
for the special parpose of trying
George Strother, a big black repulsive
looking young Degro buck who
is charged with having committed
rape upon the person of a white
woi ai sometime last March.

patitive examination that Mr. Lawton
Hydrick, of Orangeburg, wins
the Annopoli8 cadetship with John
T. Kennedy, of Orangeburg, first
alternate; Gibbes Lyke'e, of Likesland;
second alternate and Guy L
Warren, of Sumter, third alternate.
The way is now clear for the Seaboard
Air Line people to build their
own passenger depot without being
forced to enter the TJoion shed in
Columbia, and preparations are now
being made for the erection of the
necessary buildings. They will be
located at the corner of Gervais and
Lincoln streets.
The holding of the Southern's
Charleston train the other day beyond
the time it was scheduled to
leave Columbia so that President
Spencer's ton might catch it, was a
Diece of inconvenience to the travel
w
ing public that cannot nor 8honld
sot be easily overlooked.
President Roosevelt evidently believes
that "in the time of peace we
should prepare for war," and wants
Congress to increase the strength of
our navy by providing for the construction
of many more war vessels,
and in this he is eminently correct.
Columbia has made a successful
bid for the aor ual meeting of the
Confederate Veterans. The re-union
is to take place in May.
The liquor constables are at present
giving the blind tigers some
trouble. Is it a case of new broom

BEING A GOOD FELLOW.
It Is a Losing Game In the Long Ron
For .Most Men.
Any sensible young man ought to
know that he can't be up late nights
abusing his stomach and be in full possession
of his faculties for business the
next day, and lie ought to know also
that a man must be clear headed and
in full possession of his faculties to
hold his own in the keen competition
of life. Your "good fellow" is popular
for the time being, but when his money
is gone and he has lost his job and is
on his uppers the "good fellow" business
doesn't get him anything. It's
"poor fellow" then?another good man {
gone wrong, and "the boys" are ready
to hail another "good fellow" who has
the price.
We don't mean by this to say that
~ AwnAn o TUATT /Inn't 1
lilt; uuj? a mc mciv.cuuik> . iuvj v?wii ?.
altogether pass up a "good fellow"
when he goes broke, but it isn't the
same. They say he hit the booze too
hard and couldn't stand the pace. They
feel sorry for him, but he is out of it.
His good fellowship doesn't excuse him
even in the eyes of his friends for having
thrown away his opportunity.
The young man who gets the sleep
his system needs, is temperate in his
habits, lives within his means and
shows up for work in the morning with
a clear eye and active brain?that's the
man business men are looking for.
They want employees whom they can
trust. Having worked hard and laid
by a competence, they want to throw
some of the burdens off, and they won't
throw them off on the employee who is
too much of a "good fellow."
Cut it out. boys. There's nothing in
it. There's a whole lot of nonsense in
that "good fellow" business. You can't
fool the public very long by living beyond
your means and keeping up appearances.
There must be a showdown
some time or other, and that means a
loss of self respect and ml*iy bitter experiences.
Many a bright and promising
business man has failed because
he tried to travel in too swift a class,
whereas had he lived within his means
he might have become a highly successful
merchant.
The world doesn't give up its treasures
easily. It isn't in the cards for all
of us to be millionaires, and mighty
few of the "good fellows" get into that
class. It's better to earn your way
first and go hunting for good times
when 3*ou have reached the point where
you can spare both the time and the
money. Then possibly you'll have
more sense and have a different notion
about what a good time is.?Toledo
Bee.
An Enemy of Pansies.
There is one enemy for which the
pansy lover must watch like a lynx,
and that is a little green worm that
seems made on purpose to devour pansies.
Where he comes from or why he
should exist at all is a mystery. But
if you find your little plants stop growing
and see the leaves perforated with
small he' .s and your blossoms gnawed
behold, your enemy is there. Eternal
vigilance alone will save you. Your
face must be brought to the surface of
the ground. Kneel and turn up every
leaf. Doubtless you will find the small
green monster curled up and hiding,
sucking out all the juices of the plant
and so becoming exactly its color,
which makes him so difficult to find,
and if not checked he will utterly destroy
it He will devour it in a few
days.
The Boy.
A boy is ail odd piece of furniture,
but be is the ground and chief ingredient
of the man. Delude not yourself
with the belief that the boy is not all
he pretends to be, for he is a great deal
more. He is an incomprehensible fellow
to any one but another boy, and
because he will presently grow into
the awkward between hay and grass
period that separates boyhood from
manhood, and to a lumbering idiot
then, don't signify that he is an idiot
now. He never is. But his chrysalis
state fetters him and makes him seem
like one sometimes.
The boy is all right
He Succeeded.
A man arrested for murder bribed an
Irishman on the jury with ?200 to
hang out for a verdict of manslaughter.
The jury were out a long time
and finally came in with a verdict of
manslaughter. The man rushed up to
the Irish juror and said: "I'm obliged
to you, my friend. Did you have a
hard time?"
"Yes," said the Irishman; "an awful
time. The other eleven wanted to acquit
yer."?London Answers.
The Last Dueling: Clergymen.
"When did clergymen cease to fight
duels?" is a startling inquiry in Notes
and Queries. It will be news to many

exhilarating pastime. But, as a matter
of fact, the Rev. Mr. Allan fought
a duel with Lloyd Delany, Esq., and
killed him in Hyde park in 1752. He
was convicted of manslaughter and
fined 1 shilling plus six months in Newgate.
His Usual Preference.
"What kind of meat have you this
morning, Larry?" asked the board of
trade operator.
"Well, sir," said the butcher, "I've
got some fine bear steak and some beef
that's just bully"?
"H'mph! Give me some Iamb!"?

A Stealthy, Insidious, Weak
Suffer
There are a multitude of women, csj
pecially housewives, and all other
women obliged to be on their feet con- rstantly,
who are wretched beyond description,
simply because their strength
and vitality is sapped away by catarrhal
discharges from the pelvic organs.
These women get up in the morning
tired, drag themselves through their
daily duties tired, only to go to bed at
night as tired as before.
_3Irs. Eva Bartho, 133 East 12th Street,
3S". Y. City, N. Y., writes:?"I suttered for
three years with what is generally known as
leucorrhea, in connection with ulceration ofj
the womb. The doctors advocated an operation
which I dreaded very much, and strongly*
objected to go under it. Reading of the!
value of Peruna, I thought it best to give '
this well-known remedy a trial, so I bought 1
three bottles of it at once. Now I am a
changed woman. Peruna cured me; it took
nine bottles, but I felt so much improved I <
kept taking it, as I dreaded au operation so j
much. I am to-day in perfect health, and
have not felt so well for fifteen years."?Mrs. ,
Eva Bartho. !
Miss Louise Mahon, 3 Glen Bailie Street. f
| Toronto, Ont. Can., .Secretary of the King's j
Daughters and Secretary of Lady Macca- g

benefits to be derived from taking Peruna we I

down that I had to take to my bed, and be- f
came weaker and weaker. A friend advised 6
me to try Peruna, and I have great reason to be
grateful, for in two weeks I was out of bed
and in a month I was perfectly well, and I
now find that my health is much more robust
than formerly, so that I take Peruna once or
tw Ice a month and keep well."?Louise Mahon
Peruna Is such a perfect specific for
each case that when patients Save once
used it theyca-R never be induced to quit
it until the} arc pcrmantly cured. It
begins to relieve the disagreeable
symptoms at once. The backache
ceases, the trembling knees are strengthened,
the appetite restored, the digestion
made perfect, the dull headache is stopped
and the weakening drains are grad- V
ually cured. These results certainly
foilow a course of treatment with |
Peruna. 3
Barbara Alberty, corner Seventh and
Walnut streets, Appleton, Wis., writes
as follows in regard to Peruna:
" For years 1 have suffered with backache
and severe pains in the side. I
dcctored so much that I became discouraged.
A school friend told me how
Very much Peruna had benefited her 15

' medicine I hare ever taken. I used :t
faithfully for two weeks and it completely

Mrs. Kate Mann, 80G Bathurst Street.
Toronto, Ont. Can., Vi:-e President of the
Ladies Aid Society, write.;" I am pleased
to give praise to Peruna for the blesseu relief
I found through its use. I suffered for years
with,backache and dragging down pains and
often had to go to bed and stay there when I
was so busy that I could illy be spared, It
was therefore a simple godsend to me when
Peruaa was brought to my notice. Every
drop seemed to give me new life, and every
dose made me feel much Detter, and I promised
myself that if I found that it curecf me I
would advocate it so that other suffering
women should know of it. I have been in
perfect health for one year, I enjoy work and
pleasure because in such line health, and no
trouble seems too heavy to bear when you are
in good health, Peruna has simply been a
household blessing, and I never will be with- '
out it again."?Mrs. Kate Mann.

Mrs. Anna Martin, 47 Hoyt St., Brooklyn,
N. Y., writes:?" Peruna did so much
for me that I feel it my duty to recommend
it toothers who may be similarly afflicted.
About a year ago my health was completely
broken down, had backache, dizziness and irregularities,
and life seemed dark indeed.
We had used Peruna in our home as a tonic, .
and for colds and catarrh, and I decided to
try it for my trouble. In less than three
months I became regular, my pains had entirely
disappeared, and I am now perfectly
well."?Mrs. Anna Martin.
Mrs. "Win. Hetriek, Kennard, Washington
county, 2s cb., writes:
* 1 am fifty-six vears old and have not
felt well since the Change of Life began
ten years age. I was in misery
somewhere most of the time. My back
{was very weak, and my flesh so tender
jit hurt mo to lean against the back of a.
chair. I had pain under my shouldei;blades,
in the small of my back and
|hips. I sometimes wished myself out
;of this world. Had hot and cold spe:ls,
'dizziness and trembling of the limbs,
{and was losing flesh all the time. After
'following your directions and taking
;Peruna I now feel like a different persons'?Mrs.
