Thus a mere scratch, insignificant cuts or puny boils have paid the death penalty. It is wise to have Bucklen's Arnica Salve ever handy. Its the - best Salve on earth and will prevent fatality, when Burns, Sores, Ulcers and Piles threaten.

It is to interest the leading grocery houses in the sale of bottled liquor as agents of the dispensary system, branch diepeDsary system, branch dispensaries, f o to speak. Some years ago some such plan was suggested and urged; how it will now take is uncertain and doubtful. The plan is to &ee if such firms as Samuel H. Wilson, Klinck-Wickenberg, Welch k E*sod, and other firms of that standing will consent to sell the finer grades of liquors and wines for the dispensary under dispensary regulations. The idea is being particularly pressed by one member of the board of control and hopes to see his views carried out. TT n pnoQ OH arronpioa will JLLV Ui^O IU(?U ouavu wgwuvivw <*? popularize the dispensary; will offer a medium for purchases where buyers are averse to patronizing out and out dispensaries, and that they will be a eource of considerable revenue to the state, city and county. The contention is that such a plan would be permissible under the present law. That is very questionable, but the dispensary law has ever been as stretchable as a rubber band and the state board is almost supreme. At all events the board could urge the necessary legislation if the plan be decided upon. The idea is now to try the plan in Charleston, and if it works well there to extend its operations. It would be a popular move, but whether prudent or acceptable is another matter. The suggestion is that fancy grocers prior to the dispensary law in many instances sold finer and bottled liquors, and that the scheme would be to return to such a plan only under dispensay dispensation, and the sales to be made of liquors bought through the state board of control. i Obituaries. Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Jumper, nee Leaphart was bom Sepfc. 4, 1822 departed this life July 20, 1904. During this long life sister Jumper was true to her obligations, to her loved ones, to her church, and to her God. Truly a good woman has gone to her reward. At the age of 16 9he was married to James Jumper, who preceded her to the spirit world 40 years. To this union were born 16 children, nine of whom are now living. The posterity to this union numbers 163. Truly a large family to rise up and call her blessed. Her church affiliation was with Shiloah M. E. church eoutfc; and here her sweet spirited Christian life shines brightly. Her delight was in beiDg in her place in the service of her Lord. A consecrated Christian has gone to her reward. Her Pastor. Annie Ramiter, was born Sept. 3, 1825 She was married to James Wyatt Bush, September 28, 1S4S. She died July 31, 1904. She was the mother of five children three c? which are dead and two living. She has seventeen grandchildren. She has one brother and sister iivicg She was 79 years, 10 moths and 2S rlftVR nlfL havinor 6 crrpfttor&nr] r?r?ii J , 0l~ o ? dren. Her remains were conveyed | to St. Jobn church and there burried, | Rev. J. K. Efird officiating. Mrs. Rebecca Catherine Stuart was born October 11, 1825, at Lexington, S. C., and departed this 'ife May 24, 1904. She survived her husband, S. J. Stuart, about five years. Their union was blessed with seven children, six living, two sons and four daughters, one dead?a son dying in infancy. She leaves also to mourn her lose one sister and three grandchildren. Mrs Stuart was confirmed in youth I?M?1^ ? | iu St Stephen's Evangelical Lutheran church, of which she was a most i exemplary member to the time of her death. Iu the death of Mrs. Stuart, oDeof I j our oldest and most highly esteemed ! i citizens, God speakvS to U3 again in ! | solemn tones of the ft ght of time, J : and of that limitless ocean upon ; 1 whose shores we all shall soon stand. ! i Death has "all seasons for its own,'" j ! it presses with its icy lips its cold ! kiss alike on the cheek of the prat | tling infant and the aged pilgrim ! weary with the journey of life. | This mother in Israel was not unI mindful of the flight of years or for- i | getful of their meaning, but as the faithful disciple of Christ she redeem- ; ed the time, she counted the years ! as ihe God-given cycles of time, and ! to her they were as a swiftly flying chariot that should soon laod her at the bright portals of her heavenly } Father's house. The tenor of her life indicated that she regarded her- j self as a piigrim here below hasten- i ing to another county, a city beyond j j the strife and sorrow of human ex- j istence, a city whose builder and j maker is God. While on earth she tarried. The j TTQQ'ro r.t Vi or lnnrr on^ rtr\r\ ^ I t7 1 i f n : ux uwi uiug nuu guuuij mv ; were weighted with the rich fruits of j the spirit of love, meekness, patience, j hopejarid peace. The bereft ones that remain have | the precious consolation that the j sainted mother awaits their coming and bids them to press onward amid their sadness till their toils and ; cares are o'er: and all their grief turned to gladness, on the fair celestial shore. The departed expressed i her Christian hope in these beauti- j ful lines: I 4'Beyond the sunset's radiant glowThere is a brighter world, I know. Where golden glories ever shine Beyond the thought of day's declineBeyond the sunset's purple rim, Beyond the twilight, deep and dim Where clouds and darkness never come My soul shall find its heavenly home- | Beyond this desert dark and drear The golden city will appear; And morning's lovely beams arise Upon my mansion in the skies-" The obsequise took place at the residence of the family in the prea- I ence of a large and mournful con-; gregation. The paster of the family, Rev. J. j G Graichen, had charge of the ser- ! vices, assisted by Rev. O. N. Round tree and W. D. Quick. The discourse was based on 1 Cor. xv:10. The interment took place in St. j Stephen <3 cemetery, at LexmgtoD, i S. C. J. G. G. ! j A Father's Worry.

The crusade for the negro : was settled in the state of New Jer- ! sey by the outrage on the farmer a j young wife near Burlington by three negro tratnps.
