Se "Cssd Bible Every Sunday.
Stories of surprises in cross examination
were exchanged in a small
group of men the other day, nearly
all of which had been, published in
the newspapers, and the following
was sprung by an Illinois man:
"Years ago one of the prominent
lawyers of central Illinois was D. G.
Tannicliff, afterwards justice of the
State supreme court. Tunnicliff was
a great wit and a very smooth article
on cross examination. He did not
often get the worst of it from any*
body. He seldom attempted bull
UOZiUg III Croats eAHUJiuatiuu, uuu
c^old back an unwary man into almost
any admission.
**One day TunDicliff bad an eld
farmer named Dave Brown on tbe
opposite side and the value of the
eld man's testimony depended upon
bis claim that he could not read. It
was believed that he could read a little
end TunDicliff tried to trsp him.
After several adroit efforts which old
Dave neatly sidestepped, the lawyer
changed the subject and wandered
sway from the leading question.
Suddenly he asked:
fc'Have you a Bible in your home,
Mr. Brown?"
"Yes, sir, a family Bible. Had it
for years."
"X am glad to bear that. Every
good man should have a Bible in his
home. You use your Bible, I hope?"
"Yes, sir. X use it regular."
"That's right. A good man should
use his Bible often. About how often
do you use your Bible?"
"Every Sunday morning, sir" said
the old man, with apparent interest.
"Every Sunday morning. That is
commendable. There is no more
appropriate time for usiDg the Bible
than on the Sabbath morning. And
what So you use your Bible for on
Sabbath- morning?"
"To strop my razor, sir."

There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and until
the last few years^was supposed to
be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it a local
disease and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to b8 a constitutional disease
and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Go, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is
taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonfal. It acts
directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for particulars
and testimonials.

A Letter from Arkansas.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
I am still enjoying the mountain
breezes and drinking the sparkling
water and eating the delicious
peaches and big red apples of north
Arkansas. So many people from
South Carolina have asked me tc
give a description of this part of the
State. If yuu will give me space in
your valuable paper I will try to give
you as correct a description as I can
/ later.
v I will mention a few South Carolinians
who live near here. Mr.
Pleasant Busbee, a Confederate veteran,
who served through almost the
entire Confederate war, he relates
many interesting circumstances that
occurred on the field of battle ic
Virginia and other places. He anc1
his family enjoy good health. Mr
John Stewart and family also came
from Lexington, South Carolina
Mr. Busbee's and Mr. Stewart's
family are all in comfortable circum
stances and are foremost in school
and church work. AI90 9talwarl

Mr. Busbee says that it would be
a great pleasure to him to meet all
his old war comrades and friends ir
Lexington, S. C., especially the Editor
and his brother, M. P. Harman.

Satisfactory.
The New York State Democratic
convention, in session at Saratoga
during Tuesday and Wednesday, adjurned
on Wednesday after apparently
harmonizing all the differences that
had existed in the party. D. Cady
Herrick of Albany, at present a Jus
tice of the btate bupreme Court, was
Dominated for Governor and Francis
Barton Harrison, at present a representative
in Congress from the Thirteenth
district, was nominated for
Lieutenant Governor. The nomination
of Herrick was in the nature of
a compromise, which is said to be
satisfactory to all concerned. The
work of the St. Louis convention was
endorsed and a resolution was adopted
pledging the electoral vote of the
state of New York to Alton B. Parker
and Henry G. Davis.
It the New York Democrats are
really in earnest about getting together,
it is easily possible for them to
carry the state for Parker and Bavip,
and i? New York goes Democratic,
there will be a close rub for victory.
Confessions of a Priest.
Rev. Jno. S. Cox, of Wake, Ark.,
writes, "For 12 years I suffered from
Yellow Jaundice. I consulted a number
of physicians and tried all sorts
of medicines, but got no relief. Then
I began the use of Electric Bitters
and feel that I am now cured of a
disease that bad me in its grasp for
twelve years." If you want a reliable
medicine for Liver and Kidney trouble,
stomach disorder or general de
bilifcy, get Eiecfcric Bitters. It's guaranteed

Advice Unheeded.
Union Times.
It does seem a waste of time and
words to volunteer advice to the farmers
of the South. We have not
been alone, nor have we given advice
based upon our opinion, unsupported
by the published facts as to
the holding of cotton and not selling
during the months of September and
October. In consequence of not
heeding such advice cotton has gone
down in price, based upon the number
of bales marketed up to this time
in excess of this time last year, being
at least two hundred thousand
bales.
Some Seasonable Advice.
It may be a piece of superflous
advice to urge people at this season
of the year to lay in a supply of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It
is almost sure to be needed before
winter is over, and much mere prompt
j and satisfactory results are obtained
I | when taken as soon as a cold is coni
tracted and before it has become
settled in the system, which can only
! be done by keeping the remedy at
hand. This remedy is so widely
known and so altogether good that
I nn one should hesitate about huvinn
b ( at in preference t.o any other. It is
| for sale by The Kaufmann Drug Co.

jL Groca Joke.

j "I heard a good joke on a promiI
nent railroad official the other day," i
I j
i said George Sparks, of Cincinnati, j
who was a guest at the Albion today. |
"This particular man was general j ^
passenger agent and he confcemplat- j
j ed moving to another town. He *
wanted to get a certain bouse about
which he been in consultation with a j;
real estate dealer, so when he decided ?.
to take that particular house he wired
to the station agent, signing his
name G. P. A., to attend to the final 1
j arrangements for him and see about ^
renting the bouse. The agent bad j
given him only a limited time in j (whicb
to exercise his option on the j ^
bouse and for this reason he was es- j .
pesially enxious that the business j
should be settled at once. To fcis ! *
\
surprise and anger be received this 1
message from the station agent: I;
'The G. P. A- can G. T. H.'
"Wild with anger, the general pas- r
eenger agent, ready to fire the man
who bad told him to change bis
abode to a warmer climate, jumped
. on the next train and went to town.
He made a rush for the station agent, t
who dodged and asked what the | a
matter was. The explanation was
given in angry tpnes, when the agent
said: n
"Why, I didn't mean anything excent
that the eenerel Daseeaeer

agent can get fcbe bouse."?Exchange.

A Judicious Inquiry.
A well known traveling man who j
visits the drug trade says be has
often heard druggists inquire of customers
who asked for a cough med- ^
icine, whether it was wanted for a D
child or for an adult, and if for a a
child they almost invariably recom- 8
mend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. ^
The reason for this is that they know ^
there is no ^aDger from it and that 11
it always cures. There is not the
least danger in giving it, aDd for
coughs, colds aDd croup it is unsur- \
passed. For sale by The Kaufmann

It Was His. E
A small boy was telling his mother 1
of a mishap which had occurred to a
playmate of his. The youngster, it
appeared, had been regaling himself
with one of those large, marblelike *
candies which are a particular delight k
of childhood, aDd in a moment of ex- ^
citement it slipped down and stuck T
in his throat. But, said the narrator, ^
they succeeded in relieving him. 1
"Oh," said his mother, "you got it out,
did you?"
"Naw," was the impatient answer;
"we shoved it down; it was his, 1
