Monument to Jefferson Davis. The Jefferson Davis inonu munt, will be unveiled in Richmond June 8, 1907, the anniversary of Presi dent Davis's birthday. The ocoasion will bring together one of the largest gatherings in the history of Rich mond. The Davis monument fund waa turned over to the United Daughters of the Confederacy five years ago by the United Confederate Veter ans' Association at a convention held in Richmond. Twenty thousand five hundred dollars were turned over to the Daughters and since that time they have raised over $43,000. The total amount raised is $66,000, though this amount is not all in bank, the Daughters having invested quito a sum in Sheppard's picture, representing the three arms of the Confederate service-the artillery, the infantry and the cavalry. From the sale of these pictures they ex pect td realize abont $5,000. The monument will cost about $70,000, which will include every thing. The Daughters of the Con federacy want to raise about $10,000 in addition to the sum they have on hand. Of this $10,000 they propoHp to invest $5,000, the interest of wbioh they propose to use in oaring for tf\e grounds of the monument. Wof% on the monument will begin next July and the granite work will be completed long before tho tinto for tho unveiling. Three years, how ever, will be required for the comple tion of the bronze figures, the statue of Jefferson Davis, the other a fe male allegorical figure. Sculptor Valentine has stated that he could not possibly complote tho figures under three years. The figure of Davis will stand eight feet high on a granite pedestal of about^the same height, ann) the female figure, pointing her vun ward, will stand about seven foot high on the summit of a oolumu 56 feet high. A Policeman's Testimony. J. N. Patterson, night policeman of Nanima, Iowa, writes: "Last winter I had a bad cold on my lungs and tried at least a half dozen advertised cough medi cines and had treatment from two physi cians without getting any benefit. A friend recommended Foley'B Honey and Tar and two-thirds of a bottle cured me. I consider it tho greatest cough and lung medicine in tho world." Sold by J. W, Bell, Walhalla. Ashland Stud is Dissolved. Lexington, Ky., November 20. The famous Ashland Btud, property of Mrs. John M. Clay, widow of the son of Henry Clay, was dissolved to day nt the W. T. Woodward's dis posal sale. The stud was founded by Henry Clay 74 years ago, de scended to the son and then to his widow. Senator Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, an admirer of Henry Clay, presented him with Margaret Wood in 1845 and in 1846 Commodore Morgan, U. S. N., pre sented him with Yorkshire. With these Clay founded tho stud of thoroughbreds that has continued for nearly three-quarters of a century. SO'S C HTuHtS"s" AU'tIS? I Best l?ouHta Syrup. Tastos I la tin io.

We publish an article to-day which shows what the dispensary hss done for South Carolina. It was an awful thing when the State went into the liquor business, and we are just be ginning to reap some of the results. That the harvest will be greater is perfeotly evident to thoughtful ob servers. We have sown to the wind and we shall reap the whirl wind. Possibly it is wrong to say that we did the sowing, for the peo ple of the State asked for prohibition and the politicians gave us whiskey in itu worst form. They engrafted it into the'very fibre of tho State, making it a dealer in the whiskey business. Relief must come and we believe that it will como. Tho people need to be thoroughly aroused from the mountains to the seaboard and then something is sure to happen. Tho cry of every man who loves his fellowman and his State should be for the deliverance from this awful curse. In view of all the evils connected with the dispensary business it is strange to see good people in other States working for the establishment of local dispensaries. This ean be accounted for only on the ground that they have not taken the means to inform themselves. It may be said of them in a fearful sense, "they know not what they do."-Green wood Journal. In his annual report to the Post master General, First Assistant Post master General Wynne recommends clerk hire allowance at all third-class post offices. May Gat Army Post. ('oliimbin, November 21.-The ef fort to secure an army post for Co lumbia has taked definite shape and the decision will now rest with President Roosevelt and the war de partment. Governor Heyward and Major Micah Jenkins, collector of internal revenue, left this afternoon for Washington for a personal inter view with the presideut on the mat ter. This is in accordance with the resolutions adopted sometime ago by the oharober of commerce and every effort will be made to sr iure a defi nite assurance that the poet will be established. The interview will be had with the President to-day, and besides Columbia's Representatives the Senators and Representatives from this State have interested themselves in the matter. Vice President A. B. Andrews, of the Southern Railway, will accompany the party to the conference. He Could Hardly Got Up. P. H. Duffy, of Ashley, 111., writes: "This is to certify that I have taken two bottles of Foley's Kidney Cure and it has helped mo more than any other medi cine. I tried many advertised remedies, but none of them gave me any relief. My druggist recommended Foley's Kidney Cure and it has oared me. Before com mencing its use I was in suoh a shape that I could hardly get bp when once down." Sold by J. W. Bell, Walhalla, May Nam? Capon. .Washington, November 20.-In case the bill becomes a law for the creation of a new Judioial District in the Western part of South Caro lina, President Roosevelt strongly has John G. Capers in mind for Judge. The President is impressed with and likes Capt. Capers and be lieves he would make a oompetent and satiBfaotory Judge for the new district. It is not known of course what disposition will be made of the measure, although it has much sup port. It is claimed that the new court system will be of great benefit to lawyers and others, and there are so many strong points in its favot that it may prevail. Capt. Caper? was at the White House to-day and it is said that he discussed the situa, tion with the President. -mmm Foley's Honey and Tar for coughs and colds; reliable, tried and tested, safe and sure.

Columbia, November 20.-A third aution has been instituted against dispensary constables in Charleston, according to notice received at the Attorney General's ot??oe to-day. This action has evidently been started after the aotion of the S tato Board in taking away the profits of the city of Charleston. The suit gives notice that Rudolph 1). Wie ters has filed olaims against Gideon, Bateman, May, Hoye and Grady, dispensary constables, and their bondsmen for the ?nm of $600 each for damages. A few days ago Wie len filed suit in the United States Court for $10,000 damages, and also began Criminal aotion in the Cironit Court of Charleston, there being some trouble at the time over the bond. This last suit is in the State Courts also, making three separate actions against those men. The con stables "are represented in the State Courts by Messrs. Bellinger, Town send and Haskell, of this oity, and in the United States Court by the At torney General. The last move is regarded with much surprise in offi cial circles. Ns Way to Remove a Dispensary. The Legislature should in all jus tice do some untieing whereby a dis pensary oan be removed from a com munity as well as to be established in it. AB it is now the hands of the people are tied and the bands of the State Board are tied, and when a dispensary is once located in a com munity it is there to stay, for the weight of a surplus dollar is suffioient to anchor it there. The spirit of commercialism is a mighty lever. The Kershaw Era. There is no cough medicine so popular as Foley's Honey and Tar. It contains no opiates or poisons and never fails to cure. Sold by J. W. Bell, Walhalla. The question of having ware houses in the South for the purpose of storing cotton is being generally discussed. It is argued that a far mer could then store his ootton, take a warehouse receipt and draw money on it and keep his cotton as long as be pleased hofore selling it. Farm ers can now store their ootton with the ootton faotorics, take a receipt and settle with the mill when they please at the price prevailing at the time of settlement. The mills charge no storage or insurance from the farmer, as they oarry all the in suranoe themselves.-The Easley Progress. W. A. Herren, of Finoh, Ark., writes "I wish to report that Foley's Kidne: Cure bas eurea a terrible case of kidney and bladder trouble that two dootors had given up." Sold by J. W. Bell, Walhalla. j -. Ev Omited on Head at Millionaire. Philadelphia, November 21.-Dr. Androw L. Neiden, of New York, last Wednesday performed the ope ration of grafting an ear on the hoad of a Western millionaire, whose name the surgeon says he is under bond not to divulge. The operation was to have been performed in Now York, but Distriot Attorney Jerome is said to have interfered. Pr. Neiden advertised for a man willing to Bell an ear for $5,000, and of 800 applicants he seleoted a young German who conducts a restaurant in New York. Dr. Neiden said to day : The operation has been performed and promises to be successful. I Bm under legal contract and heavy bond not to reveal the name of my patient. Generally speaking, be is a wealthy man from the West. The operation took plaoe at a private hospital here where I was assisted by a Philadelphia physician and one from New York. I think they will be willing to have their names known later, "The two men were placed in op posite directions upon an elongated bed. One-half of the volunteer's ear, the upper half, was out off, to gether with about 4 inches of the skin behind the head. "'This was twisted around and fitted to a freshly prepared wonnd upon ray patient's head. The half ear was held in place by bandages and the two men so bound they can not move their heads. They must remain in this position for at least twelve days to allow the circulation to como through the flap of skin that still remains a part of the volunteer's scalp. "If this half ear starts to knit properly the lower half of the eat will be grafted in the same manner."

When ten years old Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Abraham Lincoln as President of the United States, was a ragged street boy in Raleigh, N. C., and bad never been to school. Andrew was apprenticed to a tailor and began to learn his trade before he was able to read or write. A benevolent old gentleman in Raleigh nsed to go about the oity reading to the apprentices in the shops, and in the course of time he came upon Andrew. It was supposed that jn this way the boy who was to become a president got his first love of reading, for shortly thereafter he began to learn his letters. Ten hours a day he worked at his trade, and the rest of the time, with the exception of a few hours devoted to sleep, he was trying to read. At sixteen he finished his apprentice ship, bat he had yet to learn muoh before be could read well. Then he was fortunate enough to marry a young woman who became his teacher. Ile opened a tailor shop after ho was married, and his wife sat with bim while be worked and read to bim in the evenings, teach ing writing, geography, aritbmotio and spelling.
