Cured of Chronic Diarrhoea After Ten Years of Suffering.' "I wish to say a few words in praise of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and , Diarrhoea Remedy," says Mrs. Mattie , Burge, of Martinsville, Ya. "I suffered from chronic diarrhoea for ten years and ' during that time tried various medicines 1 without obtaining any permanent relief. I Last summer one of my children was | taken with cholera morbus, and I pro- 1 cured a bottle of this remedy. Only two j doses were required to give her entire relief. I then decided to try the medicine myself, and did not use all of one ' bottle before I was well and I have * never since been troubled with that complaint. One cannot say too much in favor of that wonderful medicine."

One of our town dudes, who is rather bashful, aDd is "sparking" a young lady a few miles from town called a few afternoons ago to spend the evening with her. While there it commenced raining and the giri's father asked him to remain over night. The next morning when be was invited to a seat at the breakfast table he reluctantly accepted. He was very nervous an agitated. He set opposite the mirror and discovered that he had forgotten to comb his hair. Then he dropped bis fork on the floor and as he stooped to pick it up he upset his ccffee. Matters went from bad to worse, until % 9 nnaiiy tne young man quit eatiDg auu put his hands under the table. The loose end of the tablecloth was lying in bis lap and when he touched it he turned pale. He thought it was his shirt and thet in his nervous excitement while dressing he hed forgotten to put the garment inside his trousers. This accounted for the smiles and embarrassment. There was no time to lose. He hurriedly stuffed the supposed shirt inside his trousers. Two minutes later when the family arose from the table there was a crash. The dishes lay in a broken mass on the floor. The young man pulled three feet of tablecloth out of his breeches and lied through the door. He is now hidiDg, t.nd the girl is looking for a less bashful lover, who can tell his shirttail from a tablecloth. Tobacco Heart. Some one has said that it is estimated that about twenty per cent, cf the young men who recently applied to enter the United States naval academy have failed in the physical test and the failure was largely due to the use of tobacco resulting in the irregular beating of the heart. We believe it has not been so very long ago when grog and tobacco were articles of ration furnished by the gcvarnment to the Davy. The Campaign. The State campaign is drawning its slow length aloDg. Not much interests in the meeting is being manifested by either the candidates or the people. The Governor and the rest of the State officers, having no opposition, have "vamosed the ranch" and retumed'tothe bosom their familee, their club3 and to their official duties content to let well enough alone and the people may root bog, or die," it matters not with which so long as the "piper is paid. This indifference on the part }f people arises^not so much from ihe brilliancy and and popularity of the present State administration as it 3oes from the time honored Democratic custom of giviDg the Governor and his "cabinet" | we are becoming to be quite aristocratic in our views and sentiments since the days when Senator Tillman first set in the gubernatorial chaii] two terras when an encumbent desires to succeed himself. Night "Was Her Terror. "I would cough nearly all night long," writes Mrs. Chas. Applegate, of Alexandria. Ind., "and could hardly get any | sleep.

The minimum age is now 15, but it is thought with tbe better advantages cffored in recent years by the schools of tbe State there is no good reason to encourage a young man to leave home before he is 1G. It is argued that this raising of i the age requirements is especially ! a proper move on the part of the j South Carolina College, whether or : not it should be followed by other colleges in this State, since the South Carolina College should seek more and more to rai3e its standard and develop into a university of recognized leadership and headship in the State. The most practical way to raise the standard is to raise the age of admission and, with mature students, accomplish more work each year. As some progress towards the university idea, it may be noted that th6 South Carolina College has already developed two professional schools of acknowledged standing, the law school and the normal school. The enrollment in the former during the last session was 24, in the latter 38, besides ten teachers who took fha ohnrf. cririnrr mnrDu Tkno VUW UUUi u <?.UAU UUVJi l> er course for teachers begins each year about the first of April and is designed specially to meet the needs of teachers of short term schools who will avail themselves of six weeks or two months of college work. Hunting fcr a Hovr. London, July 6.?The Associated Press learns from a high British source that exchanges of views are takiDg place between America and Great Briiian with respect to Thibet. BeiDg a dependency of Chine, the fate of Thibet is of considerable importance, because its acquisition by any Power would mean a violation of the principle^ of the integrity of China, which is the keynote of Secretary Hay's far Eisterc. policy, to which Great Britain has given adherence. Mr. Hay, it is believed, thrcugb Ambassador Choate, has delicately presented the possible bearing of the British military procedure on Chinese integrity. It is understood that the British Government frankly disavow ed any ulterior purpose regarding Thibetan territory, reiterating that it has no intention to permanently occupy Thibet. ? ? ? ???
