Brcckland Hippies. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Well, I 8m here sgaiD, and should have been sooner but have been on a two week's visit and failed to come in the columns of the dear old Dispatch on schedule time. Notwithstanding my pfemiog negligence I read them each k without fail. On March 3l-r, Mr. Joseph Arekardt and Mi.-s Ruggie Day wtre ! happily joined in the holy boDds of j wedlock, Rev. J. A. Cromer perform- ! ing the ceremony. May it always be day and no night ever pass over their happiness is the wish of their many friends here. Brookland high school has closed. The exercises were splendid, consisting of music, dialogues, decltma lions, marches, drills, etc., too numerous to mention them all, but they were all certainly good and gave credit to both teachers and pupils. The Easter services in all the churches were well attended. Fine sermons were delivered and the decorations were beautiful. Kev. Walter S. Henry, pastor of the Methodist church, is able to be out after an illness of a few days. The little son of Mr. and Mrs. E. E Felder is improving rapidly after undergoing a very serious operation. Mr. E. W. Shull has been confined to bis bed for the past two weeks, is able to attend to his business to the delight of his many friends.

Tbe corporate limits of tbe town should be extended further than they are 60 that we could have better protection in every way. However, the election will soon come c ff and the people will see whether expansion is favor- i able or unfavorble. I am in favor of expansion and also tbe trolly line through Biookland. Why should we oppose any improvement to our towL? Why should it not grow to be as much so as far as possible its big capital's sister. Mr. J.

Columbia Evening Record. If the railroads were compelled to J pay the full amount of the damages | demanded in the suits entered against ibem in this State, it is likely that the profits from the business in the 1 State would not meet it. Seldom is i I there a court held anywhere in the j State that somebody has not a suit.I for enormous amounts considering ! the alleged injuries done. As a rule juries are always against the roads, , so that yearly thousands of dollars are assessed against them. South Carolina is not peculiar in this re- ! spect, but the damage industry seems ! more flourishing just now in these j "I loot oourapa and thought 3 would new regain my health "Three years of delicate health trying doctors' prescriptions and patent medicines" without benefit might well sap the courage of any woman. And vet Mrs. Bryant proved that the question of the cure of womanly disease is only a question of using the right remedy. A few doses of 4 Favorite Prescription ' restored her courage and revived Isfr hope, I because she could see "a decided change from the first." Three months' use of the medicine restored her to perfect health. , Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures irregularity, aries weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration, and cures female weakness. 1.Irs. Sarah Bryant. President of Memphis Social Science Club, residing at 271 Atkinson Ave., Memphis. Ttnn., writes: "I suffered with delicate health for three years, trying doctors' prescriptions and patent medicines until I lost courage and thought I would never regain my health; but a few doses of your 'Favorite Prescription' made me change my mind. Could see a decided change from the first, so I kept on taking it for three months faithfully and am now in perfect health." Dr. Pierce's Medical Adviser, in paper covers, is sent free on receipt of 21 one-cent stamps to pay expense of mailing only. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y, parts. There are legitimate causes for suits, of course, but we venture that a great majority of them are J not and we have seen it^aseerted that some lawyers are responsible for many of tbem, encouraging those with some alleged grievances to bring ? ?.% * L suit so tnat toe lawyer may pet boiuh pickings out of what may be awarded. Politicians are largely responsible for the attitude of juries toward the roads because on the hustings and in the legislature they demagogically attempt to make it appear that the corporations are rich and are oppressive to the "poor man". Between these two force, the railroads have lit tie chance, even when they are guilty of EOj wrong. We can suggest no remedy for the condition unless the legal fraternity disbars lawyers who make such business for themselves, and conservative public sentiment gets so strong as to demaEd that corporations shall bav9 the same justice meted out to them as individuals. The damage industry is hurtful to the business interests of the State. If the railroads are compelled to p^y out thousands of dollars on account of these suits tbey will recoup the same way, and they can do this, by raisiDg rates on laier-state DusieneeH i at least. Id fairness and justice we could't blame them. Liver spots have spoiled many pretty complexions, and nothing so completely removes them as Ramon's Tonic Regulator.

From the Uhapm, r>. v.;.. im-ws; Mim in the spring my wife and I were taken with diarrhoea and so severe were the pains that we called a physician who prescribed for us. but his medicines failed to give any relief. A friend who had a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy on hand gave each of us a dose and we at once felt the effects. I procured a bottle and before using the entire contents we were entirely cured. It is a wonderful remedy and should be found in every household. H. C. Bailey, Editor.
