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 tutes. Sold by J. W.

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.

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. Dangers ot Pneumonia.

"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 homo.-Daily Mail.

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.

The best lung fertilizer is Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork is good too, but it is very hard to digest. The time to treat consump tion is when you begin trying to hide it from yourself. 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 tion you can't expect to be cured at once, but if you will begin in time and will be rigidly regular in your treat ment you will win. Scott's Emulsion, fresh air, rest all you can, eat all you can, that's the treatment and that's the best treatment. We will send you a little of the Emul sion free.

V. _joc. and f TL all JruggtstOj 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.

New York, March 18.-Tho labor situation is becoming serious here, and il is believed that last year's fight between employers and unions in various branches will be resumed this year on even a larger scale. Trouble between lithographers and employers has como to a crisis, and unless tho men accept tho proposition to work under arbitration agreement the employers will shut down to-1 night and refuse to recognize tho union and only employ men as indi viduals.
