Many times women call on thoir family physicians, Buffering, na thoy imagiuo, ono from dyspepsia, another from heart disoaso, anothor from livor or kidnoy disease, another from nervous exhaustion or prostration, another with pain boro nnd riioro, and in this way thoy all pro son'.. , alike to thomsolvcsnnd their easy going and indifforont, or ovor-buBy doc tor, soparato and distinot disoaso, for which ho prescribes his pills and potions, nssuming thom to besuch, whon, in real ity, thoy aro all only symptoms caused by sumo womb dlsordor. Tho physician, ignorant of tho causo of Buffering, en courages his "practico" until largo bills aro made. Tho Buffering patient gets no hotter, but probably worse by reason of tho delay, wrong trcatuiont and conse quent complications. A proper medicino, llko Dr. Piorco's Favorito Proscription, directed to tho causo would havo ontiroly removed tho disease, thereby dispelling nil thoso distressing symptoms, and insti tuting comfort instead of prolonged mis ory. This modioino enables a sonsitivo, modest, woman to avoid tho unnecessary physician's "examinations" and hts gene rally U80I088 and stereotyped "local appli cation" treatment. Br. Charles Manly. Wo havo heard with sorrow tho part ing words of our much esteemed pastor and friend, Dr. Charles Manly, ono wo havo, from long find tende'* association, learned to lovo as dearly as thoso with whom wo wear tho chain of human tics, and who foeis closor to us than blood links withal. Ho carno to our church twolvo years ago with a mission of love to il and charity to others, his Christian oharactor being such that the confidence of all de nominations was soon won, and ho was pointed to as a leader in tho causo of Christ that nono need four to follow. Ile now leaves us for another Hold, following tho footprints of duty at tho call of tho Master. biko tho shuphords of old, without doubt or disputation, ho sccs tho signs and knows tho star whoso beacon light will lead him to the fountain whore blessing? oan bo secured and work in tim causo to which ho has consecrated his life found to do. With Christ as bis guide and man of bis counsel wo feel assured that an abundant harvest will bc tho result of his obedience to this .sum mons. No matter what tho sacrifico, ho is willing to indure, yea to bo offered, if found necessary, so it bu in tho causo of his blessed Redeemer, in whoso service ho never tires in laboring. We know and feel that when the fl Ulli hour of atone ment comes with him ho will be found as he has always lived, at his post in discharge of the duty with which bo has been intrusted, and like the groat apostle ho will bo able to exclaim, "1 have fought the good fleht, I havo kept the faith, I have finished my course, henceforth thors is laid up for me H crown of right eousness." . Iiis hard to give him up or for our short weak minds to seo the wisdom of his removal from our midst, hut without murmuring we submit, believing that tho ways of Providence aro inscrutable and past Unding out, and that this seemingly irreparable loss to us will bo gain for thom to w hom be goes, and wo know that his prayers will bo for us, and that heaven's blessings will be ours if wo strive earnestly to press forward toward the mark and prize of tho high calling of Cod in Christ Jesus, where ho has so long pointed us, and to which wo havo boon (tailed, for wo know that tho Lord doeth all things well and makes no mis takes. When wo consider this, tho sepa ration though sorrowful, yes painful, is not an inconsolable lamentation, and with bim who goes out from among us it is a strain of triumph and au affirmation to both that t he I.ord has a purpose to servo and for him a special duty to fulfil. His life among us has boon BO puro and undo!Hod, however, that bis departure will indict a deep and incurrido wound, not only in tho baptist church, but with all tho Christian people of Son?oa. The re will be one to fellow, a successor' none can lill his place in the church and still less in our homes and by our fl re sides, for he has erected a monument of good deeds here, there and everywhere ho bas served which will bo more lasting than brass and loftier than the pyramids of kings. Wo may eultivato with zealous caro and oncourngo with Christian grace tho work to follow, possibly after n while cheat ourselves iido tho belief that all is well, but with somo.of ns, at least, when with grief subdued, a token will como to remind ns of bim who is far away, and that WO havo hoon watering a hoart where tho fair OS t flowor has been plucked and tho newer or hitor growth cannot lill the void. Tho joy of having tasted tho better things of life makes it much harder to induro tho sting that always follows deprivation, than if wo had nevor on joyed those higher and hotter blessings which fortune bestows, so tho privilege of living under tho influence of such a spi lit, elevating, ennob ling and Christ like in his charac ter, leadership ami example, will make it peculiarly hard for us to be satisfied . with less, and with our circumstances it will never again bo our good fortuno to lind another like him. His mission was to comfort in sorrow and rejoice with us in happior hours, all of which we have long since learned, and which did not havo to tako Miomsolvos wings and My away to be appreciated. Now, in conclusion, wo should, through faith, endeavor to ombnico the promises of our .Saviour, obey and observe with Christian trust his injunction to take up our crosses daily and follow bim, and looking to tho silent and unkown futuro, roly wit h implicit confidence on tho most ?iilpiunnivo and iiioiiiontous assurance over delivered to tho human race: "Ho that believeth in me, though dead, shall live, and he that liveth and bollovoth in mo shall never die."

In view of tho fact thal ta xes aro hoing so Blowly paid, ovidontly from tho low prico of cotton, pooplo aro beginning to discuss tho question whothor it will not bo possible for tho Legislature to rcduco tho levy at tho coming session. Dr. Timmormnn, Treasurer of tho State, is probably moro familiar with tho liiianeial condition of tho Stnto than any other man in it. In sneaking on tho gonornl aspect of affairs no oxprossod tho opinion this morning that tho levy could not be reduced, provided tho necessary appropriations for tho govornmont aro continued as thoy aro. Thore is no ox travnganco in appropriations. On tho contrary thero is in many instances a dis position shown to out down tho oxponses of departments absolutely necessary to tho proper conduct of tho govornmont. Dr. Timmerman planned that tho groat loss of tho rovonuo from the phos phate industry mndo it impossiblo to ro duco tho lovy. This meant a loss of several hundred thousand dollars which annually went into tho treasury. Prom tho interviews mid letters pub lished in the county papers it is evident that legislators aro sot on cutting down expenses, many of thom advocating tho reduction of Halar ios of ofllcors. Suoh billn como up yearly and amount to noth ing. IC von if thoy wore scaled as somo legislators want tho situation would not materially bo affected; tho levy would not bo decreased. lt seems that tho only thing to do is to grin and boar it, now that wo aro in hard luck, and hopo for hotter times to como. -Columbia Record.
