A Family Reunion.
To the Elitor of the Di*patcb:
Oq Sunday, March 19th, 1904, I
bad the pleasure of attending the
birthday dinner cf Mrs. E. C. Hallman,
(widow of the late Davis Hallman)
at the old home place. The
event was the celebration of Mrs.
Hallman'* 62 birtoday The entire
family being pre** m on this occasion
not only added to ihe pleasure of
mother, but to all who were present?
both brothers, sisters and friends.
It was indeed a pleasure to be
with this large family, and see the
fcindness of the mother for the eaildren
and in turn the children for the
onrt kindness
motner. uu*y mo -?
shown at this reunion add another
ray of sunlight on our live9 to help
us remove from our minds and hearts
the many disappointments that we so
often meet with while passing through
life's dusty way. Another feature
that added to the pleasures of the day
was the music, both striDg and instrumental,
which was rendered in a
very pleasant way by her sons, grand8008
and many granddaughters. The
sweet chords of the music was not
only pleasing to the ear, but caused
us it think of him who gives to all
every good and perfect gift, how
thank 'ul we should he to him for his
kindness.
Mrs. Hallman is the mother of
. twelve liviDg childret; grandmother
v> ?
of 51, and great grandmother of 1.
Of these three of her granddaughters
have recently launched out on
life's matrimonial sea, and have taken
upon themselves the cares that pertain
to their future happiness. -We
wish them success and a bright and
prosperous future.
While it was indeed a pleasure for
her to have her children, grandchildren
and great grand-child gather
around her it can be said that the
greatest pleasure to her was the
presence of her mother, Mrs. Smith.
Mrs. Smith is near, if not past the
mile post of fourscore years. Truly
she has kept the fourth commandment.

Now all of us uaing filled with the |
pleasures that satisfies the mind
there was yet one thing lacking to
complete the enjoyment of the day.
JBut when 12 o'clock came it was
necessary that a table be made in
the yard where ail could gather
around and partake of the delicious
' ' 1 " ? 4 /-v /inm.

the enjoyments of tbe day.
May he woo doetb all thiDgs well
spare oar lives so that we can meet
again and ei j ?y many more such oc
casions, is our best wishes to all.

Best Cough Medicine for Children.
When you buy a cough medicine
for young children you wart one in
which you can place impiicit confidence.
You want one that not only
relieves but cures. You want one
that is unquestionably harmless. You
want one that is pleasant to take. j
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy meets
all of these conditions. There is
nothing bo good for tbe coughs
and colds incident to childhood. It
is also a certain preventative and cure
for croup, and there is no danger
whatever from whooping cough when
it is given. It ba9 been used in
many epidemics of that disease with
perfect success. For sale by The

Lever for Parker.
Washington Post
Representative Lever, of South
Carolina, received word yesterday
that the first Parker club has been
in Viih Vinmft countv of
yigc.u.?v? ?
LexiDgton. Mr. Lever has been
very anxious that th-3 conservative
element of the South Carolina Democracy
should control the election
of delegates to the St. Louis convention,
and he expressed himself as
very much gratified that the Parker
movement should first take tangible
shape in his home county, which is
just across the river from the State
capital.
A few days ago Mr. Lever gave
out an interview on the possibility
that the south might, present a candidate
for the Democratic presidential
nomination, and he was quoted as
having said that Senator Bailey and
Judge Emory Speer, of Georgia, were
stroDg men, either of whom would
make an acceptable candidate. Mr.
Lever intended to say that either
Senator Bailey or John Sharpe Williams,
the minority leader in the
bouse, would make a strong candidate.

Important Bank Decision.
Among the decisions filed by the
State Supreme Court last week there
was one of decided general importance.
It came up from Beaufort in
connection with the Bank of Beaufort,
which wasOowned by the late Mr.
Lockwood. The bank failed, and
then a contest for the deposits began.
H Q Davis, county treasurer, had
$4,1ST 39 on deposit, and George
Gag<s city clerk, had 81,351 77 on
band. These two officers claim that,
the funds they had on band in the
bank were public funds, and therefore
entitled to preference. T^e
Supreme Court holds that the funds
clearly belonged to the county apd
city as indicated by the deposits, and
that they are entitled to preference
under the statute law of the State.
Tae opinion of tbe Court was prepared
by Associate Justice Gary.

"Nine or ten years aero my health became
very poor, and in 1.S92 was so far gone that good
doctors pronounced mv case the worst they had
ever treated." writes Mr. Harvey Phipps. of
Florence. Ala. "I had acute voinach trouble,
liver complaint, catarrh and wa 'nervous to such
an extent I could*not sleep. I finally got three
bottles of Dr. Piwce's Gclacn Medical Discovery
and some * Pellets.' Took them according to
directions 011 the bottles, and in a few days
noticed a decided improvement. I commenced
to get more rest at night and could eat with
pleasure, where formerly food was like chips to
me. When I had used three bottles of the
'Discovery' I was a new man : could eat mince
pie for supper, go to bed at seven P. M. and
sleep until seven A. M. I am now working at
inv trade (carpentry), every day in all kinds of
weather, and think if I had not taken your
medicines I would now be under the sod."

The cabman was taking Mr. Algernon
Ashton out of his way, and on
being remonstrated with he shouted,
"You'd better get out!'' So the fare
got out, with the remark, "You're
a nice creature." The cabman then
uttered the sarcasm, "And you call
yourself a gentlemai!1' Upon which
Mr. Ashton instantly said, "I never
called myself a gentleman." The
cabmaD naturally felt that language
was uniqial to a situation like thip,
and he cirove away without another
