Hall's Catarrb Uure is tne omy poBiuve cure uuw 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 mucoas surfaces of .the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the pa- ; tient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they 'jfifer One Hundred Hollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address P. J. CHENEY & Co..Toledo,O.

Everybody has good gardens, and it won't be long before we can hear the sound of the sugar pea pot boil, which we so dearly love. [Which do you mean, the sound of the pot or the taste of the sugar pea.] Spring time is here, we love to bear the sweet song of the mockiDg and all the rest of the birds, which thrills our soul to know that this old world is moviDg on. We can also smell the sweet fragrant blossoms which no home can do well without.

On their trot line with a successful catch they first caught a cat fish and presently came along a trout measuring 29J inches in length, which swallowed the catfish, and he was caught. Ia the party were the champion fishermen Messrs. W. L. Gible and A. P. Corley, of Irene. Tne latter catches his fish while up a tree with bis rifle and the former is a long faith fisherman with his pole. While here we noticed Mrs. Lucas' fine garden of cabbage, onions and other truck.

Internal hemorrhage caused death in a few minutes. Wall has been arrested. Application for Pardon. We notice among a number of applicants for pardons before Governor Heyward and the board, is Laurence Coleman, colored, of Bateeburg, who was convicted of forging an order on J. I. Smith, superintendent of the Southern Railway Co , June 21,1902, passing said order on L. C. Hartly, merchant. There were two cases and one was carried over. It is claimed in the application that he was sentenced to serve six years, and that he has already served four of them.

A highly sensational shooting scrape between two prominent men, both well known in Columbia, occurred at 9 o'clock this morning at Chapin, a small station on the C, N. & L road, as the mixed freight and passenger train stopped there on its way into Columbia from Laurens. Dr. Rowland K. Smith was in the baggage coach on his way to Columbia, where his father lives, but the passengers in the coach next to it were completely taken by surprise by a regular f usilade of revolver shots between Dr. Smith and his fellowtownsman of Chapin, T. M. Brown, who opened up on bis assailant from near the tracks. The two men emptied their revolvers at each other, but not a shot took effect, thongh both coaches have marks of the fray. Dr. Smith came on to Columbia, Mr. Brown remaining at Chapin. The passengers were indignant about the matter, and on the arrival of the train here President I.

From the heated words that passed between the combatants and from other facts spoken of at Chapin it is understood the trouble between the two men arose over relations AL.

His father is one of the best men in the community.?Record, May 3. Postmaster Sobbed. G. W.

Two Millions Behind is the April Report. Washington, May 3.?There was an excess of government expenditures over receipts duriDg the month of April amounting to nearly two millions. The treasury surplus of the fiscal year to date, however, amounts to $4,930,9G5. The San Franciscc disaster, calling for the expenditure of emergency funds by the federal government, is responsible for the April deficit. It is expected that there will be ? surplus during May and June and that the surplus for the fiscal year will be at least fifteen millions. April receipts were $15,092,867 ar?d the disbursements were $17,025,106. ?. T. X L. cires neuragia. KOBE PENSIONERS. List for State Increased by Over a Hundred.

The raid is considered a very successful one and no trouble was encountered by the officers in effecting the capture of the outfits. No arrests were made as there appeared to be no one in sight when he offi;ers arrived. Lawyers Too Tardy. Judge Hydrick reprimanded tbo members of the Columbia bar severely a few days ago for delaying the court machinery. Although there were over one hundred cases on the civil docket, the roster for the day was exhausted on account of continuance, leaving the court with no busi * i ttt i.l j:_ ness oeiore it. were txie prumuiug judges more exacting with the lawyers, not granting this or that indulgence upon the merest pretext, the business of the court would be handled with greater dispatch, the cost to the taxpayers would be reduced, the code of justice would be less frequently defeated, and the demand for extra suasions of court would be reduced to a minimum.?
