The River Navigation. 6olumbia Evening Kecord 3rd Tne report of Uaited States Engineer Gillespie oa the river navigation work done at G tiumbia for the year ending June 30,1903, has just been made public and is an interesting account of the progress made on the Gongaree.

The total ex pendiiures for the year ending June 30,1903, was ?109.118 28, and out of this the laud has been acquired, the lock houses built, the plant for the erection of the dam has been completed, a dredge constructed and a -small steamboat built to carry on the worfl.

The tree on which it grows is known by the significant name of "the forbidden fruit" or "Eve's apple tree." The blossom has a very pleasant scent, "bat the really remarkable feature of the tree, the one to which it owes its name, is the fruit. It is beautiful and hangs from the tree in a peculiar manner. Orange on the outside and deep crimson within, each fruit has the appearance of having had a piece bitten out of it. This fact, together with its poisonous quality, eays the Liverpool Post, led the Mohammedans to represent it as the forbidden fruit of the garden of Eden and to warn men against its noxious properties. On Their Winter Cruise. New York, Dec. 1?The battle ship3 Illinois, Alabama, Kearsarge and Massachusetts sailed today on the anuual winter cruise to the West ladies.

"Yrje* ma'am " "I am very tired, and I am going to lie down for an hour.'* "Yes, ma,am." " If I should happen to drop off call me at 5 o'clock." "Yes, ma'am " So my lady lies down, folds her hands, closes her eyes and is soon in the land of dreams. She is awakened ? by the clock striking G and calls indignantly: "Delia!" " Yes ma'am."

An investigation into the books cf J B Long, deceased, late treasurer of Horry county, reveals the fact that there is a shortage of $4,143.73 The bond of the treasurer is good for the amount and action will be instituted on it to recover. No explanation is given a? to how the shortage occured, though Mr. Long claimed before his death, that bis office had been robbed and this may account for it. It is a fact, however, that these shortages often occur because of bad bookkeeping, though in some cases a different explanation would have to be made. "I was afflicted with sciatica," writes Ed C Nud, Iowaville, Sedgwick Co, Kan., "going about on crutches and suffering a deal of pain I was induced to try Ballard's Snow L>niment, which relieved me. I used three 50c bottles. It is the greatest liniment I ever used; have recommended it to a number of persons; all express themselves aB being benefit ed by it.
