Bible Written by Hand.
The roost beautiful volume among
tho half million in the Congressional
Library at Washington is a Bible
which was transoribod by a monk in
the sixteenth century, says The
Now York Press. It could not be
matched to-day in tho best printing
office in tho world. The parchment
is in perfect preservation. Every
one of its thousand pages is a study.
Tho general lettering is in German
text, each letter perfect, without a
scratch or blot from lid to lid. At
the beginning of each chapter tho
first letter is very large, usually two
or three inches long, and is brightly
illuminated in red and blue ink.
Within each of these oapitals is
drawn tho figure of some saint, some
incident of' which the chapter
tolls. There are two columns on a
pago and uowhero is traceable tho
slightest irregularity of line space or
formation of letters. Even under a
magnifying glass they seem flawless.
This precious volume is kept under a
glass case, which is sometimes lifted
to show that all the pages aro as
perfect a6 tho two whioh lie open.
A logend relates that a young man
who bad sinned deeply became a
monk, and resolved to do penance
for his misdeeds. He determined to
copy the Biblo that ho might learn
every lotter of the divine commands
which ho had violated. Every day
for many years ho patiently pursued
his task. Each letter was wrought
in rovcronce and love, and the pa
tient soul found its only companion
ship in thc saintly faces which were
portrayed on these pages. When
tho last touch was given to the last
lotter the old man reverently kissed
the pago and folded tho sheets to
gether. The illustrated initials in
perfection of form and brilliancy of
color surpass anything produced in
tho present day. With all our
boasted progress nothing in Europe
or America equals it.
A Severe Cold for Three Months.
Tho following lotter from A. J. Nus
baum, of Batosvillo, Ind., tells its own
story : "I Buffered for three months with
a severo cold. A druggist proparod mo
some medicino, and a physician pre
scribed for mo, yet I did not improve. I
then tried Foley's llonoy and Tar, and
eight doses cured me." Refuse substi

Cut the Campaign.
There will bo general agreement
among thc people of thc State, we
arc sure, with the suggestion which
has been made by a number of news
papers that the State Democratic
Executive Committee shall curtail
the circus business of tho campaign
which will bc held during tho ap
proaching summer. There are no
questions before the people which re
quire a county to county canvass, and
it seems to us that one mass meeting
in each of the Congressional districts
of the State, with such other political
meetings as may be arranged for by
tho local authorities in the several
count ies, will bc all that is necessary
to inform the public fully upon thc
issues of thc campaign, and to enable
tho voters to judge between the can
didates who shall offer for publie
favor. The State has been cursed
with politics of this sort for many
yoai <J, and wo ought to have at least
one campaign year in which the peo
ple could judge for themselves aa to
tho merits of tho candidates and tho
issues involved.-News and Courier.

Eloped With Wile's Slstor.
Newberry, March 10.-Fred Domi
uiok, of Gary's Lane, this county,
and son of Pres Dominick, of this
oity. disappeared Monday of last
week, having, it is said, left with the
sister of his wife, lt was not known
until Saturday that he had taken
the girl with him, as her parents
thought she was spending the week
with an uncle in the neighborhood.
Dominiok left behind a wile ana two
small children. Until the elopement
no intimaoy between Dominiok and
the girl, who is just 16 years old,
was Buspeoted.
The elopement, was planned very
skilfully and was executed so oleverly
that the pair had been gone noarly a
week before tho matter was known.
Dominick, in connection with his
father, runs a farm of 25 plows, and
Oswald Bishop,, tho father of his de
serted wifo, runs a farm about five
miles away. Carry Bishop, the girl
with whom Dominick eloped, had
told hor parents that sho was going
to spend a week with her uncle who
lives about five miles in another di
rection. It was not until Saturday
that it waa. learned by her parents
that she had not gone to her uncle's
and that Dominiok himself was miss
ing from tho community. It was
then discovered that the horse and
buggy were in possession of a negro
and that Dominiok and tho girl had
flagged the train down between Dy
son's and Chappells and had told
the negro to come back for them the
uext day. The negro had gone back
every day since and had not seen
them.

Should Raise More Foodstuffs.
"Many people do not realize tho
immense demand for foodstuffs in
and around Ander son," said a leading
grocer yesterday.
"There is at all times a steady
demand for groceries of every kind,"
he continued, "and the demand is
constantly increasing. My trouble
is not to sell goods, but to keep a
full stock on bend. This especially
applies to vegetables, and to chickens
and eggs, and the lighter meats.
"I am surprised th?t moro of the
farmers of the county, do not pay
more attention to truck and stock
farms. Wo aro never able to depend
even to any great extent on tho looal
supply. Hero this week I am buying
turnips from Cincinnati, cabbage
from Florida, potatoes from Maryland
and peas from the eastern part of
this State. All of these things ought
to bo raised here in Anderson-they
will certainly grow as well here as
anywhere-and the farmers would
make moro money out of them than
cotton even at 15 cents.
"Take chickens. There is never
enough to satisfy the demand. Eggs
nover get below 15 cents now? and
generally tho price is abovo that
ligure. None of tho dairies around
tho city aro able to supply their
demand, and only a few days ago
they advanced their prices. There
is big money in truck farming, but
not a great many of our farmers
seem to realize it, and as a result wc
are sending a lot of money out of
the county that ought to be kept at

Brandon, who has been "crushing"
between Tower and Kouchiching, ar
rived here last night and confirmed
the reports o? cannibalism on tho
Leech Lake reservation. Brandon
was near Pelican Lake at the time it
was asserted that an Indian had
killed and eaten his wife and child.
Two days later Brandon mot a small
party of Boise Fort Indians who
were on their way to the west end of
Vermilion Lake. From these In
dians Brandon learned of the killing,
and he says his information is au
thentic. Ile was told that the Indian
who committed tho horrible deed
was shiftless. During ? spree he
killed both his wife and child, and
biter devoured part s of their bodies
to avert starvation. A party was
sent to the Indian's cabin at once
and bring him to Leech Lake.

The best lung fertilizer is

is good too, but it is very hard

The time to treat consump

Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take Scott's Emulsion.. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump

cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat

Scott's Emulsion, fresh air,

LETTER FROM OLD PICKEN8.
8om? Timely Advice, to Farmer?-A Blow to
th? Lien Law and Dispensary Law.
Old Piokens, March 10.-Editora
Courier : Along with the whistling
of the Marsh wind, the gentle coo
ing of the dove, and the mournful
wail of the whippoorwill oomes the
alluring announcement of the city
and town merchant : "My books
are open ; lien time has come ; guano
has arrived; plenty of mules and
horses on time ; abnndanoe of oom,
bacon, flour, dec, can be bad for cae h
or good paper." And now may the
hitched to a foreign-raade plow-stook
in imponed gear, and whose compost
pile, corn crib and smoke house are
in the West, wend his joyful way to
market, mortgage bis muic and milk
cow, give a lien on his orop, buy his
manure and get supplies on a orodit
until his crop his "laid by," whon
his lien loses it's virtue, so far as get
ting rations is concerned.
What then? Shift for yourself,
bunt work, get some flour and go to
the blackberry patch. When the
ides of November come along with
wintry ice aud the shrill shriek
of soreeoh owl, this dormant lien
raises its hideous head, the mer
ciless tramp of an officer of
the law is heard and the orop,
whose value was considered be
fore it was made, is seized or sur
rendered, and if this is not sufficient,
the voracious mortgage, vulture-like,
devours its prey, in many instances
not leaving enough to tempt a visit
from Santa Claus to the thinly dad,
half-expeotant children on Christmas
morn. Of course this is not a gene
ral thing, but too often the man who
loans on a lien in spring and summer
when fall comes is lean himself, has
a lean, despondent wife, lean chil
dren, lenn stock, and a corn orib and
smokehouse that need no lock.
Tho merchant is not to blame, for
if the lion and mortgage were not
given by the farmer they could not be
enforced. Nor is the cultivator of
thu soil wholly at fault, beoause con
ditions are such that credit cannot be
otherwise obtained. There is but ono
remedy : Make our meat and bread
at homo. Let cotton be a surplus
crop. Thus I wrote one year ago,
and notwithstanding the advance
in the price of cotton, I seo no rea
son to change my views, and the
man who farms on a credit will And
that the price of his fertilizers and
supplies will keep equal paco with
the price of cotton.
It was hoped by many that the
lien law, dire source of high per
cent and ruinous oredit, with its de
moralizing influence upon labor,'
would bo repealed by our Legislature,
but tho concentrated wisdom of the
State dcoreed otherwise. It seems
indeed that this odious law, with its
twin curse, the dispensary law, are to
remain on our statute books, and
so long as they do we may expeot
poverty and debt to continue as a
result of tho former, and drunken
ness and crime as tho inevitable con
sequences of tho latter. Statistics
seem to show that our big drunkard
factory in Columbia, with its numer
ous plants scattered all over the
State, is paying financially, but
what aro they doing morally and
spiritually ? Let the criminal re
cords of our courts, tho wail of many
orphans, tho tears of countless
widows and the anguish of many a
lost soul answer.
I am told that in thc city of Co
lumbia is located a "Keely Institute,"
which permanently cures the drunk
ard, totally and forever destroying
his thirst or craving for the "chemi
cally pure." Since many claim that
tho profits of tho dispensary are
tainted with blood and should not be
used for educational purposes, how
would it do to use the samo to hire
or lease the Institute by the State to
cure or redeem the victims of its
dispensary.
From January till now the weather
has been unusually cold and wet, so
much so that but iittlo work has
been dono on the farm, but all indi
cations point to a heavy increase in
tho acreage of cotton as well as corn
in this section. Many old fields, for
many years barren, are being cleared
and will be put in cotton.
A few few days ago, in passing tho
site of Old Pickens Court House,
which is overgrown with broom
straw and shrubbery, I found an old
colored man, Willis Jenkins, clearing
off the lot with the intention of cul
tivating it in cotton this year. Ho
is now thc owner of the lot on which
fifty years ago, aa a boy of ten years
of agc, be was sold to tho highest
bidder at the sale of Pleasant Alex
ander and brought something over
six hundred dollars. From hore he
was carried to North Carolina, where
he remained until emancipation,
when he returned. Verily "times do
. change and men change with them."
Jenkins is an industrious, reliable
man and docs all ho can for thc ad
vancement of his race. Ile enjoys
tho respect and confidence of the
whito as well as the colored people.
It affords mo pleasure to inform
my esteemed friend, your versatile
correspondent from Tugaloo, that I
am still among tho living, despite the
