Swansea's Doings.
To the Editor cf The Diepatcb:
Since the return of friend Ogilvie j
to The Dispatch office your humble
ecribe will send you some items of
life and doings here and the country
around, as Mr. Ogilvie has had some
bitter experience in trying to translate
this scribe's scratching for your
readers.

in experience and the farmers around
this year are plum full of bad luck,
but by another year of prosperity
we will forget the dead past.
Mrs. James E. Gantt is in from
Pulatki, Florida, where Jim is now
hotel keeping and Madam Rumor
says is doing well and all the family
pleased.
W. B East has contracted to rebuild
a large colored high school
academy at Denmark, S. C, which
was lately burned by fire. Mr. Burfort
from Swansea, a very competent
architect, is his "boss carpenter."
The graded school will close after
another week's teaching. The trustees
bad to take a large portion of
the school fund for this session to
build a school house since the burning
of the old one. The three lady
teachers who have conducted the
school this year have made a success
of it and Mi6s Isabella Brooker and
Miss Thome as co-principals, and
Hiss Owens as assistant, deserve the
thanks of the patrons.
Mrs P. E. Hutto has added a nice
line of new millinery goods recently
to her stock.
Mrs. Cykes, lately from Blackville,
has opened up a new store of millinery
and also dressmaking, an additional
interest in Swansea's trade.
Dr. Langford has finished and
moved into his new drug store.
Mr. J C. Reynolds has gone into
mercantile business here also and is
doing a good trade.
Hon. W. H. F. Rast is again able
to give his time to bis business.
Mr. George Bell TimmermaD, of
the Lexington Bar, is in town looking
after his interest.
Jb'ilteen cents cotton is an inspiration
and many an old lank face now
looks many years younger, and many
hearts brighter for it and some breath
naturally who for some time only
caught long breaths, but our skies
can't be almays cloudless nor can our
suns shine always bright. But today
we behold a day of push and
prosperity never equalled by America
before and even now there are calam- j
' lty howlers.
L. P. Smith still sits as supreme
judge of our court to settle the dis- !
putes of his neighbors and keep the
lawless under subjection.
Spectator.
Catarrh Cannot he Cured
with local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is a blood or constitutional
disease, and in order to cure it you
must take internal remedies. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not !
j
a quack medicine. It was prescribed j
by one of the best physicians in this
country for years and is a regular
prescription. ' It is composed o* the
best tonics known, combined with
the best blood purifiers, acting
diretly on the mucous surfaces. The
perfect combination of the two ingred- j
ients is what produces such wonderful
results in curing Catarrh. Send

a. "wCcroft.
Washington, March 10.?Col. Croft
died at 7:30 this morning from blood
poisoning.
mi 11 "1 r J j
xne Diooa poisoning was ;;auseu, |
primarily, by a splinter in a linger of !
the left hand. This brought forth I
an abcess and a result of it was
that blood poisoniDg set in. Col.
Croft was much better up to a day
or two ago and it was confidently expected
that he would soon be out'
again.
The following sketch is given of
him in the Congressional Directory:
"George William Croft, Democrat
of Aiken, was born in Newberry
county, S. C., December 2Chb, 1846;
his early education was at the common
schools in Greenville, SC. In
1863 he entered the Srnth Carolina
Military academy, at Columbifl; in
1864 the cadets of that institution
were placed in the Confederate army,
and continued to serve until the
close of the civil war; in 1S66 and
1867 Mr. Croft attended the University
of Virginia; he subsequently
lacp linear flnvprnnr B. F.
ni UUIVV4 4M " MM V?x/? vn v Perry,
at Greenville, and was admitted
to the bar in 18G9, and in 1870
located at Aiken, where he has continuously
practiced his profession.
Mr. Croft has been a member of the
South Carolina senate, and served
two terms in the house of representatives
of that state; was aUo twice
elected president of the South Carolina
bar association; was married to
Florence McMahon, of Alabama,
April 17, 1874; was elected to the
fifty-eighth congress, receiving 5,134
votes to 247 for W. S. Dixcn, Republican."
/
Col. Croft was a most eloquent
man, and lawyer of great success in
the advocacy of cases he undertook.
The most important criminal case h?
hftR heen en^a^ed in recently was as
? o n ? _ - - . ?
the leading attorney for CjI. James
H. Tillman, charged with the murder
of N, G. Gonzales. He and Col.Tillman
were law partners and personal
friends before the tragedy, and
Col. Croft threw his whole soul in
the defense of Tillman.
He had not filled out his first term
in Congress having been chosen in
the last election. He would have
been a candidate again this summer
and would have been opposed by L
J. Williams.
Governor Heyward today sent a
letter of condolence to Congressman
Croft's son.
The law in regard to a successor
says that the Governor shall issue a
writ ordering an election for the people
to state their choice. Tnis, of
course, has not been done yet and
will not until after the funeral.
Both houses ofCoDgress adjourned
in respect to the memory of the dead
congressman. The following committees
were appointed to accompany
the remains to Aiken for interment:
On the part of the House.?Messrs.
Fmley, South Carolina; Aiken, South
Caroline; Johnson, South Carolina;

French Army Scandal.
Paris, March 10 ?A non-commission
officer has been arrested on the
charge of trying to sell secret information
about the French navy to
Japan.. A woman is said to be implicated.
The government denies the
story.
Women as Well as Men
Are Made Miserable by
Kidney Trouble.
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages
and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor
| _ and cheerfulness soon
disappear when the kidne^s
are out ?* or<^er
,n| w-A /if?~ or diseased.
_ Kidney trouble has
" w become so prevalent
\] that it is not uncommon
-. // ior a child to be born
/ylV\vHrtJ afflicted with weak kid(J
i[p~ neys. If the child urin[
ates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition cf the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made miserable
with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.

"War on England to Come
From Bussia.
Berlin, March 10.?The Tageblitt
today asserts that, the conviction prevails
in government circles iu Russia
that war with England is inevitable,
as a result of the present Japanese
war. Russia is actively preparing to
strengthen her defenses on the Baltic
coast. The minister of matine has
asked the inhabitants of the Finnish
island Kallin to leave the entire island
to be prepared for fortifications
Prince Uchlomsky, the cz^rs confidential
adviser, is quoted as saying
that a Russian attack on India is
imminent.
Proper Treatment of Pneumonia.
Pneumonia is too dangerous a
disease for anyone to attempt to
doctor himself, although he may have
the proper remedies at hand. A physician
should always be called. It
should be borne in mind, however,
that pneumonia always results from
a cold or from an attack of the grip,
and that by giving Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy the threatened at tack
of pneumonia may be warded off.
This remedy is also used by physicians
in the treatment of pneumonia
with the best results. Dr. W. J.
Smith, of Sanders, Ala., who is also a
druggist, says of it: *T have been
selling Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and prescribed it in my practice for
the past six years. I use it in cases
of pneumonia and have always gotten
the best results." Sold by The
Jlautmann urug uo.
The advisability of placmg boards
of control and dispensers among the
list of officers to be nominated in the
primary election, is being mooted in
certain quarters. "While we realize
the great danger in mixing politics
and wiskey, yet as we are living under
a democratic form of government
where it is presumed that "the voice
of the people is the voice of God,"
we ee9 no very objectionable reason
why the people could not be trusted
to select their own county board of
control and dispensers. If they are
unfit to select the first it follows as a
natural sequence that they are unfit
to select the other State and county
officers. If not why not?

Colds Cause Pneumonia.
One of the most remarkable cases
of a cold, deep-seated on the luDge,
causing pneumonia, is that of Mrs.
Gertrude E. Fenner, Marion, Iod ,
who was entirely cured by the use of
One Minute Cough Case. She says:
"The coughing and straining so weakened
me that I ran down in weight
| from 148 to 92 pounds. I tried a
number of remedies to no avail until
J used One Minute Cough Cure.
Four bottles of this wonderful remedy
i
cured me entirely of the cough,
i
i strengthened my lungs and restored
me to my normal weight, health and
I strength." Sold by all druggists.
