NEW SERIES, NO. 04,-VOLUME L.TNO. 3 5 A GREAT HEALTH RESORT FOR SUFFER ERS FROM BRONCHIAL TROUBLES. Mr, lames R. Bryce Wrllos aa Interesting Articlo for tho Connor's Rondors. Being advised by my physician I sought Arizona for bronchial troubles, it being renowned for its puro, dry atmosph?re. I made Yuma my des tination, going from Walhalla to Atlanta, Ga., tbonoo to New Or leans. There I took tho Sunset Limited over the Southern P- >ilic, touching Houston, Texas, where I stopped over for a day to rest and seo tho city. Houston is ono of the loading eotton and cattle markets of tho Southern States. Being near Galveston on tho Gulf of Mexico, it linn tho advantago ovor other places in Texas. The next stop I made was at San Antonia, Texas, called tho Alamo City. I suppose you have read of tho fj.ll of the Alamo under David Crockett, Bowie and others. Those brave Americans left tho stain of blood on thc walls which can bo seen yet. This was the beginning of the Mexican war and soon Texas was freed from Mexico. Cur Spanish Aincrican war has demonstrated one ? thing and that is, that on tho bor dors of Mexico tho Mexicans respect tho Americans. San Antonio has a history that would take time and space to relate. Leaving there my next stop was at Kl Paso, Texas, on the Rio Grande. Wo crossed Pecos Hiver bridge 312 feet high. The country presents tho appearance of a desert from there on. I thought tho pia riries were bad enough, seeing noth ing but the prarie dogs, but here you could not see anything but the cactus und grease wood. I met District Attorney Sanford, from liaglc PURR, going to hold court Home twenty-five miles from Alpine. Wo ohattcd for Homo timo and I was beginning to think he had passed the place ; HO I remarked, but lie said it was Home distance from where he lived to thu court house-215 miles. You can imagine what kind of a time tho District Attorney has in the South western portion of Texas. Kl Paso is tho center of railroads leading in and out of Mexico. I next crossed the Rio Grande, go ing into New Mexico. Along thin part of tlie road they have guards on the trains, expecting at any moment to bo held up by robbers. W li en over the train would slack up on ac count of tho sand on the track, I thought I would soon have to show up, hut I did not encounter any rob bers. About dark wc rolled into xf. A.f""w... ." and a? Capt. Billy Smith nays, "twenty minutes for dinner ;" no time to talk politics and original packages, but something good to cat. In tho Wost Harvey's restaurants arc noted for something good to eat and pretty waitrcHses. Being bash ful I always took twenty minutes to eat. I understand bc has populated the country hy the waitresses marry ing off. Some forty miles further on we encounter a sand storm which de layed UH eighteen hours. When I reached Yuma I found myself in a hotel that looked like it had neon better days, and a water tank. 1 crossed the Colorido river over into California and staid a few hours. Thin being thc Southern portion, almost anything grows the year round. Labor is cheap on ac count of the Chinaman, ns he can live on almost nothing. I took back track to Maricopa Junction for Phrpnix, a city of I?"?,000, on Salt creek. This pl apo looked more like the East than .'my I had seen since leaving New Orleans. I liked the placo very much, but thoro seemed to bo too many sick people there for the writer, as it afforded thc best accommodation in thc Ter ritory, Afte. consulting a few friends ? had made, | loft for Tup?an where I stayed for some time, Tuc son ?H thc second oldest settlement In the United State?, situated in the Southern portion, on the lino of tho Southern Pacific Railroad, <|00 miles West of Kl Paso, near tho borders of Mexico, almost in tho center of tho pllmatjo hejt recommended by thc knited (States Medical Commie ?ioi?or ns tho most favorable region in thc ? II i tod B tates for those alllictcd with pulmonary ailments asthma and various chronic diseases, Thc altitude above nea level iw y,4?0 foot and tho climate iu dry and plea sant the entire year. During thc months of June, July and Auguat the average temperature is about 00 degrees'; but there ia so little hu midity in tho atmosphere that little Inconvenience is experienced. This mild Bomi-tropioal ntmosphoro is probably owing to tho physical con ditions which aro prominent. Tho Santa Catlinn, tho Hinc?n, Tucson and Santa Rita form a circlo of high mountains, curving threo-qunrtors around tho vnlloy. Toward tho West stands another rango, all of which provo a completo barrier to storms. While th roo of tho summer months aro warm during tho day, tho nights aro-always cool. This is on account of tho ratified condition of tho atmosphere It becomos in stantly cool on the setting of tho sun, there hoing no humidity to re tain tho beat, licef never spoils, only dries np. Tho fall, winter and spring months can bo compared with tho Italian clime. Thero is little or no frost. Flowers bloom during thc winter months and much of tho shrubbery retains its foliage It soaroely over rains and very littlo fanning is done. Irrigation is too costly. If Tucson was near Wal halla she could probably borrow some of our showers of rain. Tho country is barren, only a few mes quite bushes, which grow downward instead of upward. A small load of wood can be gathered from tho roots cf ono bush. The Indians gather it and bring it to town on Mexican burrows, selling it at eight dollars per cord. Thero aro some three thousand Indians in and around Tucson doing most of tho hard menial labor. They live peacefully and have good sohools. Nine miles from there is ono of the oldest mission ohurches in tho United States where they worship. Tho Sawxavior was built in 1668 by the Spanish. Being a Territory, where every kind of sport in wide open, there are few crimes, only potty thieving. Mining is carried on extensively throughout the Territory. Copper predominates over tho minerals. Silver is next and every man is a silverito. Making a short visit into Mexico I had to havo Mexican money, so I took two dollars and twenty-five cents of American coin and received fivo dollars in Mexican coin in exchange. Tucson has a population of ten thousand, mostly Mexicans. Span ish is spoken by soven-eighths of tho inhabitants. Thero aro two dilly papers, but they contain little now.'' of the outside world. Tho churches and schools would grace any c f our Eastern towns or cities. They have able preachers and teach ers. Most of the houses or adobes are mae'e of mud. Living is very expenshe on aooonntof tho railroad rates. The peoplo aro anxious for thc Nicarauga canal to bo cut. There arc a groat many peculiarities, but space will not allow moro to bo said for the present. I olooe by saying that with all of Arizona'a pure, dry air, Walhalla can easily make up for it in moro ways than one. J. li. BttVOK. WALHALLA, S. C., April 10, 1890.

Its placo in tho popular cstoem was taken by thc beautiful Kastor lily. Kvcry. one at Kastor-timo likes to soo Kas tor lilies about, but they arc expon* sive. The bulbs oomo from Bor muda, whero tho soil is very rich. Hut tho production of thc bulbs of these lilies, which grow no rapidly, exhausts the soil, and, as tho soil in Bermuda is very thin, they will scarcely bo able to produce tho lilies much longer. They must havo three things-a rich soil, heat and wator. So wo havo imported 600 bulbs, which wo aro distributing across^ th,o. Southern States, Arizona and Now Mexico got? some for tho irrigated portions. Texas received some be cause of its rich, soil and abundant rainfall. Mississippi and Louisiana also got some. We hope by this moans to find some place whore tho Enstor lily can bo brought *o perfec tion and then tho florists oan do the rest. Tho monoy now sent to J3or muda for bulbs will bo retained in this country, and ovory ono will be | ablo to have Easter lilies.

IMPORTANT ELECTION BY THE STATE BOARD OF CONTROL. Now Officers Eloctod-Cap?. B. C. Webb Ro-cloctcd Clerk of tho Board. COLD Min A j April 6.-Tho board of control waa to havo met nt 0 o'clock, but members wore tolled out ono after another to bo entertained by tho ? many candidates. Tho meeting was not called to order until ton minutes after 10 o'clook on account of tho pressure on tho members. When tho mooting was called to order things happened in a great hurry and changes were made with lightning-liko rapidity. As soon ns Mr. Halesden took his soat at tho. head of tho tablo and announced tho purposes of tho meeting he said that during tho year in which ho had ; hoon chairman of tho board ho had done tho very best ho could and that ho had worked with all his diligence and vigor in tho interests of tho dis pensary and the board. If anything has gone wrong and lins not been righted ho felt that it was through no fault of his, ns ho had done al! that he oould. Tho board of con trol was composed of fivo members, and one new member was. elected ovory year. This and custom scorned to pr?vido for rotation, and in viow of this and for purely per sonal reasons, which ho did not caro to mention, he would say that he would not bo a candidato for re-elec tion as chairman of tho board. lic ohuso ho would no longer bo chair man would not prevent him from oo-operating with tho board to its fullest extent, and he promised to do all that ho could to make tho admin istration of tho new chairman suc cessful. It was decided that a majority voto should elect. Tho names of the members woro then called, and thoy voted ns follows for chairman of tho board : Mr. Miles for Mr. Ilasoldon, Messrs. Williams,IIascldon, Boykin and Robinson voted for Mr. D. M. Miles, and he was declared elected chairman of thc board for tho next year. Mr. Miles has been a member of tho State board for somo .timo. Upon his eleotion ho thanked his ooiicaquos for their votes and st.id that ho would bo obliged if Mr. Ilnseldon would hold the position of chairman for tho present month, on account of certain business ho wishod to attend to. This was agreed to by all. Cant. B. C. Webb was unani mously re-elected clerk of thc State board of control. Mr. Moso II. Mobloy and Mr. G. II. Charles wore rc-clcetcd clerks in the ofllco. of tho State board of control without op position. Mr. W. W. Harris, dork of tho constabulary force, was re elected without opposition. Tho election for commissioner ox citcd considerable interest. Tho race was between Col. S.W. Vance, the incumbent, and Mr. J. B. Douthit, who until tho recent session of tho General Assembly was a member of tho Stato board of control. Thc election was entered upon without any speeches or waiting and resulted. : .Messrs. Hasoldon and Robinson voted for Coli Vance and Messrs. Boykin, Williams and Miles votod for Dou thit, and, thorefore, Mr. Douthit was declared olected commissioner for thc dispensary. Col.
