We are eorry that a larger congregation was not pres. ent. Rev. W. D Quick will preach at Shady Grove church on the 15ih of this month. We will be glad to see a large congregation out that day. Guess. Scottish Thrift. As an illustration of thrift and foresight Andrew Carnegie likes to tell a humorous story aboot an old Scots-woman whom be used to know in Dunfermline. To this poor old woman the minister's wife said one day: "Janet, I mean to make yen a present of a bonnet." "I thank ye, ma,ma," Janet answered, with courtesy. aTell me what kind of a boDnet vo would like, a felt or a straw one." * the minister's wife went on. Janet thought a moment. Then she faid: "Wee), ma,am I think I'll tak' a straw one. It'll maybe be a mouthful to the coo when I'am done wi'it.'5 ?Exchange. Port Arthur Certaialy Sealed. St. Petersburg, May 5.?A message from Port Arthur yesterday evening states that the ships cf the Japanese fleet were then cruising cn the horizon, and that a fresh attack on the fort was possible. The message adds information which tends to confirm the Japanese contention that the harbor of Port Arthur is sealed, for a certainty. The dispatch says that twelve fireships participated in the last attempt to block the harbor. The exact position cf eight has been located, the position of two is unknown while remaining were unable to withstand the Russian fire retreated. >* A- J' 1 -? J According wd uispaicueB received from Tokio yesterday in London two of the fireebips used in attempt Monday bad been sunk in channel sealing the baibor. This may be the two referred to in the above dispatch as in a location unknown. A Carnival of Crime. "Washington Post. Judging from the carnival of crime in the North whence come horrible stories of whole families being wiped cut if huebaDds and wives, the murder of husbands by wives, the murder of wives by husbands, the murder of innocent children, scandals in society, robberies on a hoge scale, and all manner of swindling, corruption and wickednesp, one would think the press might get busy at home instead of reading lessons to the South concerning a few isolated lynchings. Parker's Position. Washington, May 6?What is ailedged to be an authoritative statement of Judge Parker's position on public questions bas been given out here in an interview by Elliott Danfortb, of New York, one of Parker's most intimate friends. He says j ONE LUNG May be gone and yet the remaining lung t will be amply sufficient to sustain a vigorous vitality. As a general thing few people make more use of both lungs than is equivalent to a healthy use of one lung. These facts are all in the favor of the man or woman with weak lungs, even when disease has a strong grip on them. ^ a person j ft I * ^ strong.

When I commenced taking it I had no appetite, my system was completely run-down, had no ambition to do anything. Now I feel better than I did before I got sick.

Those who suffer from chronic diseases are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free All correspondence strictly private. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets assist the action of the n Discovery." Parkers views in part are as follows: "He is io favor of reducing custom duties wberever they shelter trusts. He ioeiste tbat wberever American manufacturers, by mean9 of monopolistic tariff are enabled to charge at home prices higher than accepted abroad tbe duties should be reduced. He would smite the subsidy monster wherever it might lift its head. He believes the solution of tbe trust problem would be facilitated by a wise revision of tbe tariff. He wopld insist on tbe use of tbe state's- powers to regulate trusts when these are within state bound aries. Wberever inter-state law or anti-trust law ate violated be would enforce the federal law. He would let tbe South solve its own probleme, aDd he is in heartiest sympathy with it.'' Mr. D^nforth expresses the conviction tbat Paiker wiil not only be nominated but elected. Endorsed by His County. W. Boyd Evans the Favorite ot the Democracy of Marion. The Marion county JL>amocratic convention adopted the following resolution unanimously: "Whereas, W. Boyd Evans is a candidate for railroad commissioner. Resolved, That we, the Democracy of Marion county, in convention assembled, endorse his candidacy and commend him to the voters of the State as one qualified to perform the duties of the iffice with credit to himself and fidelity to the State/' The Democratic voters of Kirby township in Marion county, where Mr. Evans, now a lawyer of Colum-' bia, was born, passed the following: "Whereas, W. Boyd Evans is announced as a candidate for railroad commissionet; and, whereas, we, the Democratic voters of the township n which he was born and reared, knowing him to be qualified in every particular to fill the office to which he aspires with credit to himself and honor to the State; therefore, be it "Resolved, That we, the Democratic 1 T7" in voters ui xvn uy iu??uouipt iu uccuug assembled, do endorse bis candidacy, and instruct the delegates elected to tbe county convention to cffer suitable resolutions commending him to the citizens of this State for their support." * j Liver spots have spoiled many pretty complexions, and nothing so completely removes them as Ramon's j Tonic Regulator.

A Cure for Piles. 4'I had a bad ease of piles,'r says G. F. Carter, of Atlanta, Ga., "and consulted a physician who advised me to try a box of De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve. I purchased a 1m)x and was entirely cured. It is splendid for piles, giving relief instantly, and I heartily recommend it to all sufferers." DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve is unequalled for its healing qualities. Eczema and other skin diseases, also sores, cuts, burns and and wounds of every kind are quickly cured by it.

Rome, May 5.?According to a direct communion-ion received by the pope from the Russian czar, cotwithstanding the advice of his ministers, he has determined to go to the front and command the army. Will Arrive to Late. London, May 6.?It is believed here that Admiral Skrydlcff, appointed to take command of the fleet of Port Arthur, will never reach his command. There is a probability that by the time he reaches MaDchuri, the Japanese will be in control of all approaches to Port Arthur, if not in possession of the town itself It is beleived that the Russians will not give up Port Arthur without a determined resistance, but the fall of the town is only a question of a short time. la Bear Port Arthur. London, May 6 ?Tbe Central News correspondent at St. Petersburg reports that the Japanese landed at two points in the vicinity of Port Arthur. The first landing was at Piszewo and the second at Poit Adams. The two places are but twenty miles apart and on opposite ! sides of Kwang Tung peninsular, to j the rear of Port Arthur. Got the Cook. Mr. Newedd?What! No cook stove in the house* I gave you money to buy one. Mrs. Newedd?Yes, my love, but | I found I hadn't enough to buy a stove and hire a cook, too, so I let the stove go.
