Thomson and Jeremiah Smith bc anil hereby are appointed to preparo an address to the people of South Carolina, setting forth the work and issues before us, and to plan for and perfect an organ i/.al ion of thc Prohibi tionists for the coming campaign." In accordance with thc above, we sub mit tho following address : To TiiK IV.otM.i: or Soi ni (' v HOI.INA : Tho Prohibitionists ol' Hie Stale aie encouraged lo make another appeal to the voters for a supremo effor! along Hie lino for thc abolition ol thc manufacture and sale of liquor in South Carolina. For many years the men and women ol mir State have toiled earnestly to elleel legal prohibition of lin" liquor Iralbo, and gratifying progress was being made not only in banishing' the licensed saloon from all territory without incorporated towns and cit OS, hut there was much being accomplished in thc way of reduc ing the number of saluons here ami there, and also in securing control of the smaller municipalities through the bal lot box or restrictive legislation, 'litis progress in temperant e reform induced an application to thc regularly consti tuted authorities of Ute Democratic party in control ol' the eleetiun ma chinery of thc stale for a separate box in which to vote for or against Prohibi tion, ami this privilege was ..wanted ill tho primary election ut l>!i'_\ resulting in an overwhelming majority for Ibo logal prohibition of Ibo liquor tn.nie. and along with this result lhere was ob tained ll clear majority of members in tho lower House, who passed a slricl prohibitory mensure in accordance willi the verdict of the people. This measure was defeated, however, and in its stead was substituted the dispensary law On tho regulation and control of i he t rallie, au importation that was recognized tis contrary to the wishes of the people and indirect conllicl with I heir ascertained verdict. Thus tho dispensary hogan its career as a !supplanter, and it has made seven years of uncanny record, marked by bloody and disgraceful steps from Hie beginning. Tho present condition ol Hie liqtioi business eau hardly he said to bo salis factor)' to a single intolligeni person in tho Stale. When (ho dispensary lan was lirsI adopted, thousands ?.! . linn esl people Imped for and expected Ililli li from it. 'I . y were told thal Ibo re strictlve features of Hie law would 1"' enforced by sober Slate ollieials, who, liol having any 'mancini inter?s) tit stake, would lahm lo reduce Hie con Btmiplioil of liqilol and leake tin' dispon sary system a stepping st.me t.. pnddlii timi.

The annual salary paid il common i-.nutty dispenser would buy tidily bah of col ton, ami he was given In understand that his dispensai y must lu pi < table lo (lu Slate or it would he closed and hiinscll dismissed Iront the service.

TI'CHON, AUIZONA, February 21, UKX). Dear Courier: 1 havo boou to day in tho city of Tucson, Arizona, throo wook? and ?vo days, and oach day hal brought stronger conviction? that thc utniosphoro of tili? country will provo an infallible euro for pulmonary affection?. Hundreds of people come here from all part? of tho United State? to breathe tho puro dry air, which, if sufficient time is Riven, seldom ?cud? ono away without fooling that a new "lonso of lifo" has boon granted. I, inysolf, havo tho ploaauro of balancing tho scales at a twelve pounds higher notch than when 1 arrived, and tito regular tinco times a day expression of my landlady give? positivo ovidonco of a possibly faster increase I havo boon out bunting sovoral times, but oach timo only to rotura with tho meditativo thought that if-well, if that jack rabbit had just stopped, 1 might iuwo gotton a rest on something ?toady (for I was shaky) and killed it, and pro cured a pair of oms, which looked to mo to be almost the size of tho inn?t? of two largo ?hips running along sido. Hut no; 1 could not got ono to stop, and ono had just a? woll try to hit a mosBago traveling on a telophono wiro as ono of those things in motion. Hut now changing to tho scone? of tho country, wo lind tho most interesting in that of ail old mission church founded somo throo hundrrd year? ago by tho priest? who tried to sottlo this country, lt is such a model of architecture that it excites tho wonder and admiration of all who visit it. lt was my pleasure to visit it sumo few days ago, and finding it lo bo such a wonderful thing I shall at tempt to give you such a description of it as best 1 could tako it in. lt is situ ated in tho Saut:', (-ruy Valloy, about ten miles South of Tucson. Oapago Indian villages surround it on all sides. Its dimensions arc 110x70 fool. Tho archi tecture is a commingling of the Moorish ami llyznntillO. The outside is castel lated and surrounded by one domo and two minarets. Tho foundation walls tire of brick willi a line coating of cement. Thc outside walls arc blick, ni BO co mo tod, The inside walls arc of stone and cement, plastered and stuccoed. The con tor of the front is covered with beautiful scroll work and bears also tho coal of arms of the Franciscan Monks, which is a cross with a rope coil above and two arms be low, one of which represents that of Christ and tho other that of St. francis do Assisi, the patron of the church. The roof is surrounded by a brick balustrade cemented, and at each ungle ami corner are grillons, worked in cement, forty-eight in all. When once inside the church one is forcibly struck with the display of skill in its structure, its beauty and grandeur and taste dis played in its adornment. Tho inside has ' the form of a Latin cross, tho front be ing to the South and extending" thence ? to t'o North to where tho main altar is. j The walls and ceilings aro all tastefully decorated and frescoed. Four large paintings represent the annunciation, ' the visitation of tho Virgin to Elizabeth, tho nativity of Christ, and the visitation ; of tho Magi. Thc altar work and all thc cornices aro done in cement, as arc also I the six arched ceilings overhead, the I main one of which is about fifty feet, the j other? about thirty feet high. Tho ceil- ? ings were all frescoeil, but much of that had bec.? defaced by time and tho ele ments. Four evangelists in sculpture adorn tho main altar and the scroll work is covered with gold loaf, which in its early days, when thc frescos and paint ings were all trcsh and bright, and all tho surroundings new and ill perfect har mony, must have presented a beautiful, grand and gorgeous sight. In thu lateral chapel of the Virgin Hiero is a cross of. ironwood imbedded in cement oil which 1 lhere is a sculptured ligure of (.'brist. Within the body of the church there aro in all bf'.y pieces of sculpture, most of which ?ire beautiful, being yet perfect in form and feature. In two of the angles of the main areli there are two beautiful statues representing angels. The. main aisle is adorned by two large fresco paintings representing the last Supper and Ibo Pentecost. From the South end of the main aisle a doorway leads to thc West into Ibo baptismal chapel and from (here a Hight of stairs, consisting of twenty-seven, twenty-one and twenty one steps leads to the upper Moor of the West minaret or tower. At tho rise of twenty-seven steps a doorway leads lo the right into thc choir gallery, which is arched and frescoed. A rise of twenty one stops more leads to the second lloor of the tower where lhere is a chime, of four bells. Tho last Hight of twenty-one. steps leads to Ibo upper lloor of tho tower, from where n line view is obtained ol' thu .surrounding country. An admis sion fee ol* twenty live, cents is charged and a guide is furnished to di root and ox plain. To thc South of the church are nhl convent buildings which have been ' renovated and are now occupied by four j of the Sisters of St. .loseph, who arc' leaching schools for thc Papas' children. ! I fear I have taken up too much space! ill giving this description, but even now ! you only have, as it were, a mechanical outline of the real beauty and grandeur I of it. W. J. N'KVII.I.K.

Throughout tito HOBBIOU last Saturday tho United .States Senate had under con sideration tho Hawaiian government, bill. 'Ibo discussion took a wido rango, but tho basis of it was an amendment, of fered by Senator Platt, of Connecticut, os to tlio appointment ami tenure of oflico of tho Judgos of tho Hawaiian Courts. Senator Tillman, of South Caro lina, embraced tho opportunity to de liver n characteristic speech, in tho courso of whioh he m ado a slinging attack upon Senator Morgan, of Ala bama, and vigorously opposed many provisions of tho bill, particularly those which related to ;,uffingo. In tim courso of tho consideration of tho Hawaiian Oovcrnmont bili Senator Tillman made a vehement attack upon tho measure and arraigned Senator Mor gan, of Alabamaj for allcgod lack of courtesy. "Tho oligarchy which oxists in Ha waii," declared Senator Tillman, "and wliich this bill porpotuates, is powerful and unscrupulous, lt is an autocracy greater than over oxisted outside Russia. "1 sympathize With tho Senator from Connecticut in his offorts to secure a properly appointed judiciary for tho i? lands-a judiciary not controlled by thc oligarchy which now has its grip on tho islands." Kcforring to an incident which occur red tho other 'lay, in which Senator Morgan, of Mabama, declined to yield lo Senator Tillman to reply to a state ment made by Senator Wolcott, of Colo rado, concerning tho "suppressed vote," Senator Tillman said: "1 have felt in dignant nt Hie treatment 1 received from the Senator (Morgnn). Never in my ex perience in tho Senate have I boen treated so discourteously by a member of thc S?mate." Senator Morgan endeavored to inter rupt Senator Tillman, but tho latter waived him aside, saying : "I declino to yiold to tho Senator. Ho has put him self outside tho pale of courtesy and con sideration so far as I am concerned." He then explained the circumstances ;>f Senator Morgan's refusal to permit him to roply to Senator Wolcott. "When 1 rose to explain tho situation in South Carolina, as it was presented by tho Senator from Colorado," said Senator Tillman, "thc Senator from Ala bama said: 'No, 1 cannot permit you to speak. I'll leavo you to light it ont some nthor limo.' It was tho iirst time in my Bxpcrionco that I had ever been refused 1 hearing in like circumstances. No Re publican would have don?cd me tho privi lege, because i toro is no man on that side of the chamber so lacking in cour tesy and decency." Senator Tillman then oxplninoi! that under the present Constitution of South Dardina there were about 11-1,000 regis tered voters, 1I,()IIU of whom were col ored. Ninety-nine por cont of tho white iroto in the State, ho said, was Demo cratic. In the summer primaries fully lt) per cent, of the registered votes were jast. At these primaries the contests Tor tho State ofllcOH were made. "Thoro is no lethargy in tho politics of South Carolina," said Senator Tillman. 'We have as much politics to the square milo as any Stato in the Union. There is no Republican party in thc State. Thc Itcpublican machino is composed of federal ollicc-holdors who control thc patronago and send thc delegates to He publican National Conventions. "The elections in November arts sun dy ratification of tho primaries. Nat it ally the result being a foregone conc lu .ion only four thousand or (ive thou (and voters turn ont in each district, to .?otc." A'ter calling attention to the fact that if tho general election in Massachusetts n lS'.'O only :;s."i,(KM) votes wore east, out >f a voting population of tit'..">,()(M), and hat at the same election in Connecticut he vote was 1L'.">,()<H> out of liJ I.tHM) legal voters, he said: "Why do they accuse is of the South of suppressing Hie vote ivhen they ari' doing the same thing in Massachusetts'.' Why, we don't do half bedevilment in South ('andina ?is this l)ill propases to di) in Hawaii. This hill Brill give four or live years moro of con Iract labor of slave labor -to tho sugar liarons, who, in remitted duties on sugar, will make $S,(IHO,UOO." In tho course nf ;i criticism of the inca uiro Senator Tillman said: "I d' not ibjcol to the whites of Hawaii, but what I do object to is thc hypocrisy of those n this chamber who maintain that the toupie of Hawaii aro to bc treated dif :erently from those people who reside in Louisiana, Mississippi, South ('andina md other Southern States. The whites )f the South arc patriotic Americans. "I want to protect the whites of Hawaii, but don't try to do it with lypocrisy." Senator Tillman then read a letter rom a person, unnamed, who de? hued 'that a man who dares to oppose the ingar barons in Hawaii is in jeopardy of lis life."

The following ia tho toxt of nn :ict of tho Gonoral Assembly approved on Feb ruary 7th, 1000, that is of special interest to sportsmen : Section 1. That Section 4'<il, Volumo 2, Revised Statutes 1803, (criminal statutes), bo amended by inserting botween the word "partridge" and tho word "any," the following: "And it shall bo unlawful for any person to sell, offer for Halo, or ship or export for sale, any partridge or quail for tho spaco of live years from the approval of this act: Provided, Nothing in this act shall prevent importations for salo of any partridge or quail;" so that the said section, when so amended, shall road as follows: Suction 431. lt shall not bo lawful for any person, except upon his own lands, or upon tho lands of another with tho consent of tho owner thereof, to not or trap a partridge, and it shall bo unlawful for any porson to sell, oiler for salo, or ship or export for salo, any partridge or quail for tho spaco of live years from tho approval of this act: Provided, That nothing in this act shall prevent tho im portation for salo of any paltridge or quail. Any person violating this section shall bo guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction, shall bo punished by n lino of not exceeding *:{(>, or by impris onment in tho county jail for a term not exceeding 30 days. Criminal Statistics. An important act of tho General As-1 scinhly is thal requiring the keeping of a record and tho making of reports of criminal statistics, Thc need of such au act has boen obvious. Here is tho text: Section I. That each Clerk of tito Court of Douerai Sessions shall keep a record and report annually to the Attorney General and tho Solicitor of his circuit, in duplicate, by the loth day of Decem ber, in blank forms to be furnished by the Attorney General, tho name, race, sex, age, aliened crime, of every person brought to trial in his court for the year ending December 1st; and in case of his failure to make said report within the time hendn limited, he shall forfeit to the county ?10 as a penalty for each day's delay in making such report, to bo re covered by the Solicitor of the circuit by an action in any court of com po tout juris diction. An Attractive Woman. If a woman is not. attractive there is something wrong. Any woman can be attractive if she will make the. effort, lt isn't altogel her a quest ion of beauty, lt's largely a matter ol' health. The bloom and glow of health go far toward bring ing beauty. A clear skin, bright eyes, red lips and the vivacity which bodily good feeling brings, will make even a homely woman handsome. Hall of thc women one meets are semi-invalids. Failure to heed the warnings of outraged nature-failure to give the help needed by thc most deli cate and sensit i ve. organs-little troubles ignored nut il they have become, dormi liatlt-these things bring about the sun ken, circled eyes, the. hollow checks, thc palo and sallow skin, tho llabby, slrcngthlcss Mesh, which characterized the appearance ol' tho woman who stiff ors from "ten?ale weakness." Dr. Pierce's Favorito Proscription lias cured thousands of sullering women, lt is a perfected ?pocilio for tho troubles peculiar to them. 11, eradicates thc dis ease, stops thc draggings, life-sapping drain, and in a perfectly rational, natu ral way, builds nj? the wasted strengh. lt will bring buoyant health, lt will pul roses into palo faces -solid llosh in sun ken places. lt does away with the humiliating examinations and "local treatment" so much dreaded by modestly sensitive women. For thirty years, it has been successfully prescribed by Dr. Pierce, Chief Consulting Physician to the Invalids' 1 Intel and Surgical Institute at RulValo, N. V. Fast Train Kills Five Smiths. Last Saturday night tho mid night expressen the Lehigh Valley railroad struck a carriage, containing seven pi r sons, al Tuttle's crossing, near Roches tor, N. V., instantly killing live of the occupants, fatally in juring another and badly bruising thc other. All were mem bers ol' a family, Smith by name. The family had spent the evening at a friend's house, near Tut tle's crossing, and were on their way home, liefere reaching the crossing the carriage was stopped and Mr. Smith listened for Hu* train, but did not hear it in the howling gale. The horses had just crossed the track in safety when the engine of the express crashed down upon thc carriage and its occupants. < lardner Smith, who was the least injured, crawled to a station nearby and secured assistance. The mother and eldest daughter were car ried fora mile on the cowcatcher of the engine. The bodies ol' the tbree young est children were found near thc scene of tho accident. ve You "p You mav have heard about SCOTT'S EMULSION arid have a vague notion that it is cod-liver oil with its ha<l fnsfc. and smell and all its other repulsive fea tures. lt is cod-liver oil, thc purest and the best in the world, but made so palata ble that almost everybody can take it. Nearly ail children like it and ask for more. SOOTT'S EMULSION looks like cream ; it nour ishes thc wasted body of thc baby, child or adult better than cream or any other food in existence, lt bears about thc same rela tion to other emulsions that cream docs to milk. If you have had any experience with other so-called "just as good" preparations, you will lind that this is a fact. fhc nypophosphites that arc combined with the. cod-liver oil t^ivc. additional value, to it because tlie.y tone up the nervous system ami impart strength to the. whole body. <,... .111.1*1 o> all(IriiKp.iMS.
