Seneca, March 1.-The euteitaluroout given by the members of the Gee sippers' Club last evening at the home of Miss May Cheery waa s brilliant NiicccsH. The affair being dnsiguated as a "heart party," the color achemo was naturally red and white,' and the house was literally a dazzling picture, the my riads of hearts bel?g in striking and ef fective coutrast to the white back around. Festoons of white and red out lined tho apartments of the lower floor, tho whole of which was turned over to the large assemblage of guests. Each n-d every Gossipper considered hersolf a suit-uppoiuted committee of one to do all in her power for the comfort and ploasuro of nor guests, aud right royally did she succeed. There were fair repre sentations from neighboring towan, the sterner sex being also signally conspicu ously and nature gave a perfect eveuing. Quoits was tho first interesting gamo, many small tables being placed about the rooms, while small red heurte were used for quoits. Charles llenediot was tho successful contestant. Refreshments wero then served, tho guests being seated in tho large dining room. The menu was both dainty and elaborate, the color soborno beiug again strikingly evi denced. After supper, the guests wero required to exercise their skill at arch ery, tho target being'naturally a heart. At this Miss Ressie Norris was vlotor. Tho next and most striking feature of tho program was distribution of propo sals, tho young mon beiug required to answei in not mme than ten words, the letti ? s beginuing each word being writ ten on back of proposals. W. A. Hol land's was conceded to be l-.ost, Frank r.limer, of Anderson, coming second. Tho young ladies were ncvor prettier, costumed, as they wero, in beautiful and becoming gowns, while tho young no n, thou-. 1? slightly intimidated by circum stances incident to leap year affairs, ap peared to splendid advantage. The young ladies from out of town were Misses Mary Stribling and Corrie Pbin noy, Walhalla; Lidio Keith and Birdio Duckworth, Andorson; Bunio Wright, (loorgin; Kessle and Virginia Norris, Hickory Flat. The young men were Profs. Wright and Henry, Clemson; Frank Farmor, Andorson; Romain Mer rick and James Thompson, Walhalla; Will Thompson, Gaffney; Charles Bene dict, Calhoun; Dr. Smith, Nowry. Tho recital given by the pupils of Mrs. Ii. W. Batos's music olass on Saturday afternoon last, at tho homo of Mrs. S. K. Dendy, was a marked success. Tho pro gran? wes participated iu by ovory pupil of tho laige class, including those who had only taken one month's tuition, and tho result was n marvelous out-bringing of tho timid little ones. It is Mrs. Bates's intention to make these recitals regular mont Idy affairs, which plan will result in great and lasting benefit to tho pupils as also pleasant occasions for visitors. In this way tho children will havo dono away, in great part, with tho dreaded Orst appearance in public, ncquiritig also composure and enso in company. Thc called mootiug of South Carolina Tri shy tory at tho Presbyterian church hero last Thursday aftornoon transacted thc Several phases of business sot apart, among which was tho call from tho church boro to Rov. W. S. Haunter for three-fourths of his timo. Tho chnugo will doubtless result most advantageously to tho church. A tacky party was a pleasant innova tion in society circles among tho youugor sot hore last week. Mrs. Luther Mooro was hostess and a jolly good time was enjoyed by all present, Mrs. O. F. Bacon is on tho sick list this week, having been for several days a victim to la grippe. Tho late spiing has made tho matter of early gardening an impossibility with us. There has not boon ns yot a day when early peas er potatoes could bo planted. Mrs. I). P. Thompson, of Gaffney, is visiting her mother, Mrs. C. K. Living ston. Our merchauts aro receiving beautiful new lines of spring goods. Tho proverbial lamb-likeness of tho appoaranee of the windy March, accom panied by balmy sunshine, puts a broad smile on every face, making all to beliovo that tho long, ugly winter has broken at last. Well, last and least! When, two weeks URO, wo penned tho littlo squib containing the Latin maxim relativo to justice in newspaper reports, thero was no thought of provoking a controversy, ;i thing that has always been hold in ut ter contempt by your correspondent, and it was for this reason, that upon second thought, a request was made to tho busi ness manager to cut out that littlo item. But as that good personage neglected to doso, it. very readily occurred to us on re ceipt of last, week's issue that wo wore "in it." This being tho caso, wo, with our friends, deem it just and proper to substantiate tho implied accusation of inaccuracy and bias (or partiality) on tho part of ropoiters. As to tho lirst, tho "paid reporter to moro than ono well established journal" in giving tho "re port of guests at hotels" for tho first week in February, will ploaso bear tho fact in mind that thero was no report made for February 2d for ono of tho bo t?la. So much for the accuracy of tho report. Again, in reading tho "report of guests at hotels," wo woro a littlo puzzled (?) to know why tho paid ro porter chose to make tho report at a dato when ono of tho hotels had ex perienced the liuhtest trado sinco its de but into hoteldom. Wo think a way faring man may "run and read." Mi V. S. Inflammatory Rheumatism Cured. William Shaffer, a brakeman of Denni son, Ohio, was confined to his bed for several weeks with inflammatory rheu matism. "I used many remedies," ho says. "Finally I sont to McCaw's drug ?toro for a bottlo of Chamberlain's Pain Balm, at which time I was unablo to uso hand or foot, ami ia a week's timo was able to go to work as happy as a clam."

Proper Treatment of Pneumonia. Pneumonia is too dangorous a disease for any ono to attempt to doctor himself, although he may havo tho propor remedies at hand. A physician should always he called. It should bo borne in mind, however, that pneumonia always results from a cold or from an attack of tho grip, and that by giving Chamber lain's Cough Remedy tho threatened attack of pneumonia may bo warded off. This remedy is also used by physicians in tho troatmont of pneumonia with tho host results. Dr. W. J. Smith, of Sanders, Ala., who is also a druggist, says of it: "I havo hoon selling Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and prescribing it in my practico for tho past six years.
