Dickson, a well known and popular citizen of Fork Township, died at bib homo near Town ville Saturday night. His death waB rather uuexpeuted, though he had beeu in very had health for several months and it was thought that he oould recover. Mr. Dickson had been a school teaoher nearly all his life and was unusually successful. He had taught nearly all the time in Fork Town ship, though he was for two or three years, some 20 years .go, a book keeper for tho firm of MoCully ?fe Taylor in this city. During his loug oareor Mr. Dickson had taught hun dreds of childi en, who aro now among tho men and woman of tho county, and without exooption all of them havo had tho kindest words to say of him. He possessed a very bright and aotive mind, and with it the faculty of making friends. Ho had a happy, genial disposition, whioh made him friends wherever ho was known. For several years Mr. Dickson was the Broyles correspondent of this newspaper and his pen contributed many entertaining articles to its columns. Two years ago he com menced tho publication of short bio graphical sketches of all the mon who wont from Fork Township into the Confederate army, but failing health causod him to stop the work before it was completed. If his notes aro still in existence The Daily Mail will try to seouro them and havo thom yofpublished. Mr. Dickson was a genial, whole souled gentleman, and his life was one of real worth to his community. Hundreds of warm and true friends will mourn his death. The souvenir edition of the An derson Intelligencer, issued in 1896, contained tho following biographical skotoh of Mr. Diokson : W. A. Diokson is of Scotch-Irish descent. His great-grandfather, Matthew Dickson, emigrated from County Tyrone, Ireland, about the year 1750. Removing later to what was then oalled Caradon District, S. C., but is now York county, ho served Throughout tho Rovolutionary war in the patriot army. His grandfather, Matthow Diok son, tho second, served in tho Creek war in 1841, and was in sound of tho battle of Horse-Shoo Bend, where General Jackson utterly defeated tho Indians. His father, Benjamin Frankliu Dickson, served on tho coast of this State and North Carolina during tho last months of tho Civil war as Cap tain of Company E, second battalion of Statu Reserves. Alexander A. Diokson, who taught with marked thoroughness and efficiency at An derson eourt house and elsewhere in the county, and also in Georgia, Ala bama and Mississippi many years ago, was his uncle. On his mother's sido ho has two uncles-W. M. Gantt and B. P. Gantt-who have taught with much more than average ability and success. Tho subject of this sketch was born in Fork Township, of Ander son county, on October 8, 1851, and spent his boyhood on tho farm and in the country schools. Some of bis teachers wore Rev. Wm. McWbor ter and S. II. Johns, at Retreat, in Oconeo county, W. F. M. Fant and B. F. Gantt, at Townvillo. For throe years-1871-1874-ho was bookkeeper and salesman in tho storo of P, K. MoCully, at Anderson. The year 1874 he spent in Missouri, but like most young men who "go west" ho was glad to return to bia native heath. Ho began teaching in 1875, and has followed the profession steadily since, a period of twenty-two years. Brief as that time appears, it baa nevertheless brought undor his tui tion two generations. Tho most of his work as a teacher has boon dono in tho Fork, Ho taught four years, however-'91-'9G-at South Union, in Oconeo county, and was thero chosen a member of tho county board of education, lie was also activo in Betting on foot and perpetu ating the Oconeo Teachers' Associa tion, and for a year or so was editor of the educational department of Tho Koowco Courier at Walhalla -An derson Mai).

Our Correspondent Gives M Opinion Cen? corning Local Option. Old Piokens, Anril 80.-Editors Courier: I have oeen requested by several of your subsoribers to "write and publish my views on the dispen sary law," and what I think of the proposition to abolish, by election, the dispensaries in Ooonee county. In my opinion the law, as it now st?nde, makes the legal sale of whin key in South Carolina purely a mat ter of looal option, each oounty be ing empowered or granted the privi L?e io settle the question by ballot "not oftener than onoe in four years.'" Oconee oounty having had in ope ration for several years two dispen saries, her people have hud ample limo to judge of their good or evil effects, and now if one-fourth of her qualified voters dosire the voioo of her voting population on the question of their removal, let them file their petition with the County Supervisor as required by the statute. It i? reasonable to suppose that all prohibitionists would vote against the dispensary, and I believe the trembling band of many a viotim to the intemperate use of whiskey, who in bis weakness oannot resist the temptation when presented, would gladly and honestly iusoribe upon his ballot "no dispensary." I believe every father of a bright son, whose poor soul is not yet con taminated by tho on venomed liquid, fit beverage of hell, would vote "no dispensary" with a fervent player upon his lips for the suuoess of the glorious cause of temperance. I know evory noble son, whose heart has been saddened by the sight of a loved father reeling under the influence of the accursed evil, would do everything in his power to abolish the infernal traffic, and overy manly soul would endeavor to shield or reclaim a weaker brother by removing temptation as far be yond his reach as possible. I know that if tho Christian mothers, pure daughters and loving wives ami sweet sisters of thoso who do vote, wore allowed a ballot tho majority against the dispensary would be overwhelming and if an election is ever ordered thoir gentle influence in the oonfliot will be a power by reason of their tenderness and devoted interest in those they love. No matter what may be said in favor of the dispensary as au im provement on tho old system of barrooms which has been abolished by the constitution, no matter what may be said of it as a source of re ve nue to tho State and as being auxili ary to our school fund, it is still an immutable truth that the sale of al coholic spirits anywhere, in any form, under any naroo, is a great evil, an unmitigated curso to humanity, a fa tal temptation to tho weak and a fearful menace to tho youth of our land, whether sold by a blind tiger, from the depths of an old well, a sympathetic drnggist by prescription of a doctor who knows enough about Latin to write "spiritus frumenti," an elegant bar-tender in a gilded li censed saloon, or a sovereign State with a palmetto tree or an idiotic white rabbit pictured on its bottles. c. flow's This I Wo offer One Iluudrod Dollars Reward for any case of catarrh that oannot he cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

Davit, ol Waco, Texas, Ttl lt of Hit Suoosss In th? Lone Star Slate. Thinking perhaps that many of my old pupils and friends would be glad to near something of my stew ardship for the last 19 years, I will ask The Courier for space enough to say a few things. In August, 1885, I left Westmin ster for Texas. My first stop in Texas was at Jefferson, where my mother, eldest and youngest brothers and two baby sitters now live. After spending two weeks at Jefferson, I oame to Blum, Hill county, Texas, where Brother W. H. Davis was teaching sofiool. My first three years in Texas was spent in the school room, making from $75 to $104 per month. The $194 was made in twenty days tcaohing an arithmetic and writing school. Io March, 1887, I met, wooed and won the heart and band of Misa Nannie Edney, of Brenham, Texas. She was a grand daughter of Robert E. Hardin, for whom Hardin county, Texas, was named. Of course she is a Texan. In the fall of 1888 I and iamily went to Louisville, Ky., where I spent one year and a half in the Southern Bap tist Theological Seminary, spending my vacation in 1889 (three months) at Crowly, La., as missionary under the State Board of Louisiana. In Jauuary, 1890, I oame to Waoo, Texas, whioh in still our homo. During the last fourteen years I have traveled perhaps not less than seventy-five tnousaud miles. Dur ing the first three of this last four teen years 1 started and ran a Bap tist book store under the auspioeB of our Baptist State Sunday School Board, aud during this timo 1 repre sented the Sunday school literature of our Sunday school board at Nash ville, and also that of the American Baptist Publication Society. Of course, these were three busy years. I then resigned this work of my own free will and accord to enter the pastorate. But I was pastor only fifteen months, having resigned the pastorate to travel for the Bap tist Standard, which, by the way, is the best Baptist paper in all our Southland. I traveled for this pa per four years. Since that time I have been travel ing as missionary under our State organizations, to wit : State Baptist Sunday School and Colportago Con vention and Texas Baptist State Convention, the two interesta having s been consolidated some four years f ago. For several years our Annual a Baptist State Conventions have been s the largest Christian 'representative <' gatherings the world has ever known, t It ia not an uncommon sight to seo t from five to ten thousand people at- J tending these annual conventions. I have never for one moment re- 1 gretted casting my lot in tho Lone f Star? State and thank God that I & have bad the privilege of taking a t small part in the great and glorious 1 work of evangelizing this great and ( growing State. 1 In dosing this article, please allow me to express my unremitting thanks 1 to Almighty God for his innumerable f and unspeakable blessing , so abund- < antly showered upon upon us. The < Lord gave me a noble, Christian wo- 1 man for a wife, and to us he has I given six ns healthy, pretty, sweet ? and obedient children as any six 1 brothers and sisters I have over seen. < During ali these years of travel over < this great State I have never boen 1 summoned home beoause of sickness 1 in my own family. < Over and above all this, I thank God for the humble part he has al- ' lowed me to take in leading multi- 1 tmles of poor, lost and helpless sin- \ ners to see Jesus as their real, per- 1 sonal Saviour. Oh, what a glorious 1 and blessed work. Our two eldest ohildren, Unus H. Davis and Willie Lee Davis, are aotive members of the First Baptist Church of Waco.

Parker & Co., of Now York, have recently published an interest ing lotter on tho early habits of the boll weovil. Thoir dissertation is in part as follows : For some time past wo have beon trying to ascertain thc feeding habits of tho weovil between tho end of the tiibernating season and tho appear ance of first squares and forms. In quiry throughout tho infested dis tricts brought no enlightenment, and we havo to thank C. L. Harlatt, act ing entomologist in the department of agriculture at Washington, for the Following clear and lucid statement of the early habitB- of this destruc tive peet : To give an account of tho poriod you mention in brief-Tho weevil does not come from hibernation very early in the spring, accommodating itself in this particular to the habits of the plant. Prior to tho develop ment of forms and squares, tho weevil feeds on tho tender growing parts of the first shoots of cotton in the region whore thore is moro or less volunteer cotton, and outsido of the volunteer region, it feeds on tho first leaves and tender shoots of the planted cotton. It was this idea which led to tho idea of trap cotton and poisoning as a remedy, both of which aro dis oussed in tho publications already Rent you. The breed does not begin until the squares aro formed. Tho beetle has no place to deposit its eggs, nor can larvae do volop in the growing shoots or on the loaves. Thore is, therefore, as noted, a comparatively long feeding period prior to tb? development of the first spring or early surnmor brood.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order ' or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born 3? afflicted with weak kid neys.

This unpleasant trouble ls due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose.
