Dreher, one of the best farmers oa the Fork side of the river, was iu town Friday and left his dollar. Now is the time take to an old dull hoe and scrape off all the loose bark from the fruit trees, killing the eggs of the insects found there. If at first you don't succeed, don't stop long enough to make it necessary to-try "again," just keep right on trying in the first place. It is said that G. W.

J. J. Link, says the Abbeville Medium, raised five rows of ribbon cane near town, each row being about fifty yards long, and made his molasses last week. The yield was fifty gal1 Ions of the best syrup, In addition to the syrup made he bedded out stalks enough for his next year's crop. | Few things in this world trouble people more than poverty: or the fear of poverty; and indeed it is a sore 5 affliction; but like all other ills that flesh is heir to it has its antidote, its reliable remedy. The judicious application, of industry, prudence and temperance is a certain cure.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages,'and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature m doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it foils to cure. Send lor list of testimonials. Address F. J. CHENJ5Y & Co.,Toledo,O.

Pond, a prominent merchant of'Bateeburg and a prosperous and useful citizen of . that community, died last Wednesday, after an illneBS of a few days.' He was married last July to Mrs. Josephine Andrews, who, together with oDe son, Mr. J. T. Pood, are left to mourn his departure, lie was a mason ana a Pythian. Mr. David H. Clark, of Colombia, who has been connected with the Olympia cotton mills of that city for the past two years as book keeper, has resigned and will accept a position as travelling salesman for Powers; Highley & Co., Valparaiso, Ind. Mr. Clark will be located at Anderson, S C., for the remainder of this year afterwards going to Illinois for an indefinite time where he will look after the interest of his firm. Last week government engineers, in company with Congressman Lever and some representatives of the business interests of' Columbia, made a trip on the Ccngaree river with a view of ascertaining the practicability of deepening the channel so as to assure its navigation at any stage of the river. We have not seen the findings of the engineers, but it is safe to say, without an attempt to forestall that report, that it wHl be * - ? *- , _ i il _ j iavoraoie, oeuauae mo uoopouiu^ ut this stream is both feasible and practicable. There is some talk of patting another boat on the river, but of oonrse it depends largely upon what action the government will take in the matter before final action is taken. ; The first snow and sleet covered the groand in Iowa, Nebraska, and northern Missouri on Monday and Tuesday.

What Do Fish Do, and the Seals and Insects and Worms? Here is a problem for people' with sharp eyes: As we all know, a horse when walking or trotting advances on!?- one leg of each pair at a time, but when galloping lifts both fore feet together and then both hind feet. Now, the question is how other animals manage this matter. The birds, of course, flap both witigs* together, but which birds run and which hop? We human beings "trot" when we walk and "gallop" when we swim?that is, if we are using the plain breast stroke. The dog, however, "trots" for both Now, do the amphibious animals?the seals, otters and the rest?swim like men or like'other four footed creatures? Then there are the fish. One would rather expect that, as they move their tails from side to side, they would flap alternately with the fins, which are their hands and feet. Who can tell whether they do or not and whether all fish at all times follow one rule? By the way, how does a frog use its "hands?" Thp rrpaf nnfltnmiaf T*! Rnv Trmke ster has pointed out that, while the ''thousand legs/' such as our common gaily worm, advance two feet of a pair together, the centipeds. which are much like them, do exactly the opposite, and the swimming worms also alternate the stroke of each pair of paddles. I doubt if many people can tell on which system the caterpillar manages its dozen or so legs or whether the adult insect walks, trots, paces or gallops on its six. How does the spider use eight? Altogether this is a large field for observation, a .field, too, where any one may discover new facts as yet unrecorded, and thus add to the store of knowledge?St. Nicholas. Standard Weights Fised. There is not a little discussion in some counties as to the correctness of weights and measures. The issoe seems to have been joined at first by two rival concerns which sell computing scales. Gov. Heyward has received perhaps a dozen letters from clerks of court in reference to the standard measures which should be in the court houses in compliance with an act passed in 1842 The acts of this State declare that weights and measures mu3t be regulated by a standard fixed by the Congress of the United States, tnat the weights furnished by the federal ? i . ?_ government must ne Kept dy tee State Treasurer and by such shall all weights in the State be regulated. Section 1624 6ay&: "The clerk of court in each county shall furnish and is required to keep in his office the weights and measures established by law which shall be the standard of all other weights aDd measures in the county aDd to which any person shall have access to test the same. The Governor of the State is authorized and required to purchase 6ucb standard weights and measures out cf the fines and forfeitures incurred in their respective ccuaties." Pirating Foley's Honey and Tar. Foley & Co., Chicago, originated Honey and Tar as a throat and lung remedy, and on account of the great merit and popularity of Foley's Honey and Tar many imitations are offered for the gennine. These worthless imitations have I c-irv-iilo'r c/~\nnrlincr nampc Rffwarft nf them. The genuine Foley's Honey and Tar is in a yellow package. Ask for it and refuse any substitute. It is the best remedy for coughs and colds. The Kaufmann Drug Co. Odessa Was An Inferno. Odessa, Nov. 3 ?An inferno raged in this eity during the night and continued throueh the early hours of the morning. No other word would probably describe the awful scenes enacted here during the last fifteen hours. Conditions beggar description. Drunken mobs have run riot through the streets, behaving like packs of wild beasts toward the Jews Although martial law was declared yesterday and theoretically c.minues in effect, the troops during night and early today did nothing to prevent the sacking of the Jewish quarters j aud work of pillage /begun Wednesday evening has continued unchecked. This riot of bloodshed and robbery has continued now for over forty-eight hours. Troops have contented themselves with preventing mobs from pillaging homes and shops of Christians, none of which have yet been harmed. Hospitals cannot accomodate all the wounded, many houses' being turned into temporary infirmaries. It is estimated that 5,000 persons were killed or wounded during the rioting. This afternoon the situation became somewhat improved. * ^ a No Cass of Pneumonia on Record.

Wheeler, the proprietor of the Columbia hotel, was arrested last night and summoned to appear before the recorder this morning on the charge cf running a gaming house. The arrest was the result of the raid made fair week in which twenty-three persons charged with gambling were arrested on the third floor of the hotel. This action was taken by the police commission and this morning Mr. Wheeler appeared in court and aBked for a continuance until tomorrow morning, which was granted. The continuance was aeked for because Mr. Wheeler's attorneys, Messrs. Bellinger and Welsh, were engaged in the pickpocket case. The warrant for the arrest was sworn out by Special Officer James Dunning.

The trouble between children and their mothers too often is due to the fact that the mother has some female weakness, and she is entirely nnfit to bear the strain upon her nerves that governing children involves; it is impossible for her to do anything calmly. The ills of women act like firebrand upon the nerves, consequently ninetenths of the nervous prostration, nervous despondency, "the blues," sleeplessness, and nervous irritability of women arise from some derangement of the female organism. Do you experience fits of depression with restlessness, alternating- with extreme irritability? Are your spirits easily affected, so that one minute you laugh, and the next minute you feel like crying ? Do you feel something like a ball ris- ing in your throat and threatening to choke you; all the senses perverted, morbidly sensitive to light and sound; pain in the ovaries, and especially between the shoulders; bearing down pains; nervous dyspepsia, and almost continually cross and snappy ? * If so, your nerves are in a shattered condition, and you are threatened with nervous prostration. Proof is monumental that nothing in the world is better for nervous prostration than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; thousands and thou- i sands of women testify to this fact. ; Ask Mrs. Ptakham's Advice?A Womai To Gure a Cough take Ramon's English Cough Syrup in small doses during the day, then sleep at night.

I could neither enioy life nor sleep nights; I was very irritable, nervous and despondent. "Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was recommended and proved to be ihe only remedy that helped me. I have daily improved in health until I am now strong and well, and all nervousness has disappeared.'' Mrs. Charles F. Brown, Vice-President of the Mothers' Club, 21 Cedar Terrace, Hot Springs, Ark., writes : Dear Mrs. Pin kham:? " I dragged through nine years of miserable' existence, worn out with pain and nervousness, until it seemed as though I should fly. I then noticed a statement of a woman troubled as I was, and the wonderful results she derived from Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, I decided to try it. I did so, and at the end of three months I was a different I woman. My nervousness was all gone. I was no longer irritable, and my husband fell in love with me all over again."
