DISCOVERY OF A
ICHEMlI1CL COMPOND
TO KEEP LAMP CHIMNEYS FROM
BREAKING, AND
OIL FROIM EXPLODII!
These Powders not only make Kero
sene Oil perfectly safe and prevent the
breaking of chimneys by the heat, but
cause the oil to give a milder and bet
ter light. This end is reached by de
stroying the gas in the oil. Gas is
known to make an intense heat, con
sequently in destroying the gas the
greater portion of the heat in the blaze
is done away with, leaving ordinary fire
heat but no gas heat.
These facts practically demonstrated
at my Drug Store at any time.

FIRE IN THE WOODS,-In th~e neigh

orning last, and soon assumed a seri

mch damage had been done in the de
struction of fences it was finally checked
bout sundown. It ranged toward Ja
lapa and in direction of Kinard's, and
swept over an extent of some four
miles. It is not known bow it origina

THE BEST THING OF AL.L.-The most
mportant discovery of the times is the
wonderful pbwder now on sale at Dr.
W. E. Pelham's Drug Store, a very
small portion of which placed within
your lamp or oil can, prevents explo
sion by any possible or impossible
accident, and not only that, but its
hemical properties so act upon the
chimney of the lamp that that very
breakable and therefore expensive ar
tie will not break, however great the
flame that is brought to bear upon it.
We look upon it as a valuable discovery,
in view of the many horrible accidents
resulting from the careless handling of
kerosene, as by the use of this powder
the danger is altogether removed. The
skeptical can have all their doubts dis
sipated by calling on Dr. P. who will
put both to the severest tests. The
powder costs 50 ets. a box, one of which
is sufBicient for six gallons of oil.

Chapter Second.
In the Herald of last issue we gave a
hurried account of our trip down to
.Charleston, and the railroad mishap by
the way; and reaching the city with
whole bones and the hope that a bad
beginning would give us agood ending
for the return trip, we were prepared
to enjoy the entertainment afforded,
both of a public and private character.
As to the celebration which called so
many thousands of outside barbarians
to the city it is too late now to write
suffice it, it was a splendid occasion, and
we have no doubt that every one felt
that it was good to be there and would
be willing now to make endorsement,
that the good people of the city by the
sea are entitled to any amount of praise.
The day ~was charmingly auspicious,
clear and balmy, but the rain of the
day before made it unpleasant under
foot, especially to the military, which
in a very short time were covered with
mud of the blackest kind-the yellow
country mud is prettier to look at-but
the soldier boys did not care for the
mud while beautiful eyes looked down
and smiled on them from above.
Enjoying a promenade on the battery,
and feeling as big as a sunflower, as all
countrymen do while looking at the
vast expanse of water tiecked with all
kinds of craft, we. were suddenly
brought down from the contemplation
of the sublime to an awful reality of the
ridiculous,-tbe pants of our young.
est boy had ripped open from stem to
stern-it was an awful moment. We
had but one pin and a very small one,
but if we could induce him to walk like
all other boys and cease from jumping,
that one pin might suffice. But jump
he would and did, and again the ends
fluttered in the breeze, and we found it
neeessary to get him home. The stitch
ing on those pants was done on a Wil
cox machine, and the end of the thread
was not secured-hence this accident.
If any of our readers take boys to the
city, let them not only be sure that the
stitches are right, but that they have
more than one pin in the Iappel of their
coat.
Passing through market street a bas
ket of live crabs attracted the attention
of that boy, while the old woman who
ad them for sale attracted ours. Turn
ing up the whites of her eyes, said she,
"hab fait, look here," pointing to the
basket, "dis mornin de basket was full,
now he mos empty, fait done it, bless
de lord," and with the cry of "sea
rabs" on her lips we left the old lady.
A 6.40 ride on the plank road in a
spring wagon, behind a horse which
was accustomed to stopping at all the
lager beer saloons on the road, was an
experience which we do not advise our
friends to indulge in; it was a business
trip on our part, and the many gay
youths and maidens who passed and
repassed our slow coach.we trust so
considered it. We trust the authorities
will repair the plank road ere we make
another visit.
A visit to the shirt and garment fac
ory of the Langly Br,os., og Kjing Street,
gave us the gratifying proof of what
energy and perseverence will accom
plish. But a short wyhile ago these
gentlemen started their factory under
ircumstances anything but encour
agig, and to-day they are reaping their
reward in a splendid business, and are
able to give employment to forty ladies
who daily make up a variety of gar
nents frony plain to elaborate, and at
the most mnoderat.e prices. Reader, if
you visit the city be sure and yisi.t the
Langly factory. Their advertisement
appears in the Herald.
The days spent in Charleston were
pleasant indeed, but when the hour for
leaving arrived we began to think once
more of run ogs and smashes. To show
ow it turned out. we left at 9.50 p. in.,
and between one and two o'clock eased
up to give the iron horse rest, falling
asleep at this point, nothing more was
known untii waking about 4 o'clock it
was discovered that the train bad nqt
moved in all the interval, there was
another run off some miles below
Pranchville. There was no fire in the
stove and it wa.s .cold, daylight dawned,
and no prospect of advance. The ex
press which left Charleston at- 5 in the
morning took a few of the luckless pas
sengers off. and steamed up to the place.
of accident, when wye again had the
pleasure of laying to. About 9, the ob
struction moved, we had the privilege
of moving, and good time was made,
but in spite of extra speed Columbia
was not reached until near 12 o'clock;
fortunately Gol. D. had kindly con
sidered our situation and kept the train
waiting. So after all, the damage done
was but slight, and we are again home,
with the boy and his damaged pants.
In all our past experience we never be
fore had a run' off at both ends of a
journey, not to mention the mishap
which befell the boy in his breeches.

MOLLORON, NEWBERRY CO., S. C.,
February 18th, 1878.
At a m;eeting of a goodly number of tag
citizens of No. 4 Township, at Flint lill
Church, to-day, for the purpose of effecting
orgar.izations among the colored people of
the whole county for certain purposes, it
was agreed that, WHEREAS,
The colored race are surrounded by dan
gers, the necessary consequence of a want of
moral and mental education,that their social
duties to each other are often neglected, par
ticularly in the matter of attention to the
sick and dead-that the ( bristian sympathy
and fraternity of feeling is jeopardized, and
there is a lack of unity in the attainment of
worldly advantages, in securicg their right%
and in accordinig to their. iceighbors in:
formation and protection of their rights
that may be infringed upon. Therefore, be it
Resolved, 1st. That we propose the form
ation of a Christian Association composed
of men and wormen of good moral standing,
and to est.ablish and name a society or so
cieties in each township of the county, to
avoid the dal,gers, correct th~e evils and
carry out the objects above recited.
2nd. That each society shall establish the
fee for membership, monthly fees, and fines
for absence or violation of any rules.
3d The o&icers of each society shall con
sist of a President, two Vice-Presidents,
one Recording Secretary, one Correspond
ing Secretary, Treasurer, two Marshals, a
Chaplain and an Executive Committee of
five members.
4th. Tihat at no meeting of any society
shall the merits or claims of any candidate
for political office, or political organization,
be made the subject of diseinssiQIm
5th. That a charter or lleense to form a
society shall be granted first by the execu
tive committee to-day appoit.ted, or elected
by the first society organized, and there
after such leave shall be granted in other
townships by the nearest executive comn
mittee.

LITTLE WHITE LicK,
LEXINGTON CoUNTY,
February 26th, 1878.
DEAR GEORGE : I know that I am about
to make myself very unpopu!ar. I know
that both sexes under thirty yeairs of age,
as fir down. I am sorty to say in these
times of precocity, as the day of shedding
the last nilk-tooth, will denounce me for a
fool. Little do I care for that, however,
so long as characteristic curiosity will force
them. to read these letters. I say then,
fearlessly, that the great obstacle in the
way of thoroughness in collegiate, as well
as preparatory training of the mind, is
girls.
Our first parents came into the world.
adults-full-grown people. There had been
no prejaration for social position by youth.
ful conformity to rules. Adam never was
under the necessity of scratching with the
point of a thorn upon'a red rose petal (the
only available writing materials in those
days) a note to Eye, requesting the per
mission to visit her, and sit up with her un
til bed time. Nor could she, by any possi
bility, write an answer regretting that she
was compelled to decline the pleasure of
his company, in consequence of a previous
engagement. Every condition of this
primitive courle is full of instruction for
their posterity. The manner of their crea
tion shows that the conduct of maturity
should not be anticipated in youth; and
this inculcation can be traced ibrough the
patriarchal ages, f-r more than a thousand
years. It was 4nly when Isaac was a full
grown man, that his father sent a trusty
servant to a distant land,-the land of his
kindred,-for the purpose of selecting a
wife for his son; and lie married his cousin
Bekky without asking any questions. Ja
cob it seems never thought of marriage
until after he bad grappled with some of
the most trying responsibilioies of life,
such as being too shrewd for his brother
Esau,-and then married a woman whom
he had never seen in his youth. The
mighty Samson intrusted to his father the
matter of his marriage,-just as they did
here in the piney woods when my father was
a young man. In the iapse to degenera
tion, the deviations from the custom haye
become innumerable. Tho substitution of
girls for ready- made women was cert.ainly
a merciful change in the plan of creation ;
and gave both sexes, in their gradual de
velopment, opportunity of avoiding the
presentation of temptation, on the one
part, and of opposing resistance to it on
the other. But unfortunatpiy ia has come
to pass that girls are offeriug the bitter ap
pie to youths, before they, on both sides
have left off wearing the garlic amulet
around their necks for the prevention of
whooping cough. Thus, instead of iry
proving the time given them for creating
themselves,-exercising themselves, in con
ve.rgence toevards steadfastness by inclirra
tions,-they so suffer their affections to
divaricate, (knowing that I am subject to
the criticism of Collegians, I may, now and
then, select a word that overleaps the re
quirement,) divaricate, that when they
come to the actualities of life,-the position
where Adam and Eve began-they have no
concentration of purpose.
This being the o'pinion of a very wise and
discreet friend of mine, as well as the result
of my own observation, I r.ust insist on it,
that girls are hurtful to any kind of pro
fioienoy. In fact, they ought to be sup
pressed ; as is clearly authorized by the
lesson contained in primitive formation of
woinan. How was it ? While she was in
process of development the man was in a
deep sleep, therefore, oh ye young men,
sleep *hile the girls are growing. Have
no knowledge of them, take no interest in
them, until they become as thorough wo
men as Dolly Socks thinks she is, herself.
Observe, again, that the man, previously to
his acquaintance with the woman. had given
names to all the plants and animals. This
surely is an inculcation for all students to
be thoroughly instructed in the sciences,
at least in Botany and Natural History, be
fore they bring on the necessity of spwing
fig leaves togethey.
-By-the-bye, I have had a vision about
fig leaves.
It is impossible for me to point the many
shades of interference with which girls mo
lest a college curriculum. A polun;u in a
newspaper is not sufficient space. I can do
no more at this time thani ask if the follow
lng questions do not strike near the truth.
Grave Senior, have you never opened
your Mental Philosophy, and found a chap
ter of the Chibdrei <(f .the Ahhey staring
you in the face ? Have you been able to
explain the phenomenon otherwise than by
the recollection that some young lady said
she always cried when she read that cele
brated romance ?
Gentie Junior, have you never had a
page of Griffith Gaunt to come between
your eyes and your Horace, because you
heard a sighing maiden say, that jealousy
was. truly a delight?
Tender ?reg, hast thou tqqt oftyg~ turned
away thine eyes from thine Elementary
Algebra, and stealtbily read under the left
lappel of thy jacket, a little book entitled,
Why does not Fido eat Gandy? Was it
:ot because thou didst hgz a little twelve
year-old damsel, who had not yet ceased to
"smell of bread and butter," declare that it
was a charming little volume ?
Dare any of you deny it ? No ? Then
there is no necessity for me to write any
more on this part of the subject.
An appropriate illustration, if it be true,
is better than a studied syllogism. (Excuse
me). I will give one to point you the "old
paths wherein is the ggyd way," hoping
that you will "walk ther3jy 4n4 find rest
for your weary souls." (Jer. vi. 16). If the
rule has proved profitable to a rough black
smith, it will be the same in more refined
circles; just as an oak that is good for
hamnes near the root is good for planks~ as,

worked the hellows. Not only that, but
she took hold of the light sledge hammer
and struck upon the glowing iron. This is
an illustration of what a woman will do,
who never bothered a ian until he got his
trade. It made tears drop from my eyes
and fry upon the red-hot plough-mole; and
I resolved to help Elviry in her line of
work, for helping me in mine. Up to this
time, however, she has never let me have a
chance. Yours as ever and forever,

WOMAN's BEST FRIEND.-To relieve the
aching heart of woman and bring joy where
sorrow reigned supreme, is a mission before
which the smiles of kings dwindle into utter
insignificance. To do this is the peculiar 1
province of Dr. J. Bradfield's Female FlegulaT j
tor ; which from the numberless cqres it has
accomplished, is appropriately style I Wo
man's Best Friend. The distressing complaint
known as the "whites," and the various Ir
regularities of the womb, to which woman is [
subject disappear like magic before a single
bottle of this wonderfi,l compound. It is
prepared by Dr. J. Bradfield, Atlanta, Ga.,
and sold at S1.50 per bottle by respectable
Drug men everywhere. Physicians prescribe
it. Its action is prompt, sure and decisive.
