' Seneca, April 23.-Show-going people will remember the engagement of the Parland-Newhall Company, which is to be at the opera house bern Thursday night, 25th instant. This is one of the host attractions th it has ever been booked for this place, and in fact ranks among the very best attractions of the lyceum. The management has secured it at a risk, as it is a higb-prlced Bbow, but as they (the managers)* have wisely deter mined to place only good, healthy, ele vating shows here, our oitizens, espe cially those who have clamored for a bet ter class of entertainments, should show their appreciation by attending in full numbers. Cards-of invitation have been received here to tbe marriage of E. Pettigrew Verner, of Charleston, and Miss Eliza bath Quale, daughter of Mrs. Henry John O'Neill, also of Charleston, which will occur April 24th at the home of the bride. Mr. Vernor is well known in Ooonee, is the son of Hon. and Mrs. J. S. Vernor, of Columbia, and has many friends here and throughout the Ht atc who will extent hearty good wishes and congratulations to the young man upon winning the heart of one of Charleston's fair daughters. Base ball is taking our town and we are not prepared to say what we are all coming to. For ?nstanos: We know a family cot a thousand miles from here which has a boy who plays ball. In a racont game he was ssid to make sn ex traordinary play, a touch-up, or touch down, over-head, or under-foot, we don't know whioh, not having ever seen a game, but the play attracted attention. It was talked about and written about in the papers, and after all, what does it amount to? In thc ?amo fsmlly is a lit tle lady, who, last week, in her examina tion on algebra, made 110, a remarkably extraordinary grade, and who knows it outside of ber family or her tesoher? In the name of heaven, what is this world coming to? What encouragement are wo to offer the coming generation to make students or oitizens of themselves with such s sentiment ss this prevailing? We are not making a fight against such things, but are constrained to say that the slgus of th* (imes are not tending to ward elevatiJ 1 mentally, morally or spiritually, th* ?outh of our day and generation, f J In the mate? game between Anderson and Seneoa last Saturday, on the Seneca diamond, the score stood 7 to 1 in favor of Seneoa. The'game was said to be one ot great excellence, and was well at tended by our ball enthusiasts. The fol lowing items were furnished by one of the kids, whioh we take pleasure in giv ing our readers, as it will prove wonder fully gratifying to the young snd old boys alike who witnessed or participated in the game: "The line up was: Ed. Mowry, p.; David Verner, 0.; Harry Bryan, lb.; J. W. ntrliding, 2b.; Loka Vernor,'Sb.; Melville Westervelt, s. e.; Aster Dsly, 1. f. ; Jaok Grant, 0. f. ; Gor don Todd, r. f.

The truth, plainly spoken, ts this: .Since the newspaper business has been started bore, the news business has as sumed such lively proportions, we just simply haven't bad the heart to write much, for notwithstanding a statement from one of onr business men that The Courier is still "scrambled after," we SOVoi roil so much like a small potato before, and the feeling is not a comfort able one. But maybe some day we will get over it. And last, but not least, let us remind the boys of our town, and surely there never was a braver, better looking, big ?er-bearted set, that the show is on 'hursday night, and is one to whioh they oan and must take their best girl, fooling perfectly soon re in the fact that it will be good to be there, and that there will be nothing "to molest or make afraid/' Our country friends will also find it a rare opportunity to see a high-grade show at a low price. x.v.s.

[Atlanta Constitution, April 20.] The lives of many passengers wore placed in the utmost jeopardy when a Howell station car waa blown up by the explosion of a st lok-of dynamite at the corner of Ashby street and Marietta road, and the esoape of the passengers j and the employees of the Georgia Rail way and Electric Company from death or serious injury was mirnculouH. The identity of the person or persons who placed the deadly explosive ou the tracks is not known. ' While returning to the city abuut 7 o'clook last night one of the Marietta Fair street cars waa suddenly converted i uto a complete wreok. A big hole was torn in the front of tba oar, the glasses brokeu into bits, the trolley jerked from the wires aud the wheels thrown off the track. The explosion' occurred just after leaving the terminus. The motorman bad put on about half speed and the con ductor was taking up fares. Then, as the car waa gathering apeed along a dark thoroughfare, a Budden crash, instanta neous darknesa and frightful jars to the passengers came simultaneously. Their bodies were lifted bigh in the air, tossed forward or backward aa the explosion saw flt, and tinnily depoalted upon the floor or sent barling buck into thoir eeat?. The conductor and the ni or tor m au were in the greatest danger, but fortu nately neither were burt. The motor man uervily kept bia bead and as the car left the track adjusted the controller handle and put on the brakeo. Even though the danger waa over, ter ror was written on the faces of every one, passengers and employees half-ex pecting a repetition. The lights were ?till - out. All the passengers could re call WHS the splintering of wood, the tearing, grinding sound aud the loud report as the flooring of the car was hurled upward to the oeiling. The trouble station was oalled, the car was placed upon the trucks and sout to the works, arrangements having been made for the comfort of the passengers; An immediate investigation ahowed the presence on the track of two sticks of dynamite, unexploded. It is believed that only one stiok exploded, but of this no one is certain. Exoept for the shake-up whioh every body suffered, no one waa burt, it is stated. The offloials of the Georgia Railway and Electric Company aver that they cannot conceive of reason for such an act. However, the police department will make a rigid examination of the oar ard of all evidences bearing noon tba matter, and if the explosion was the re sult of an effort to injure the street oar oompany or tbe passengers, will en deavor to secure the arrest of the guilty t>arty. It is possible that tho sticks were eft thor? by accident, and this view of the caso will also receive attention. The Price of Health.

SECRETARY WILSON HOT AFTER THE FOOD ANO DRUQ MEN. Washington, D. C., April 22.-??If these outrageous misrepresentations do not cease the department will publish a list bearing the names of manufacturers, who are indulging in this campaign of decep tlc." T' is remark was uttered by Secretary Wilson, of the Departmeut of Agricul ture, in an antborized atatement today, and was brought forth by the fact that there bad oome to bis knowledge infor mation that a number of manufacturers of foods and drugs were freely advertising that the United States Government Was guaranteeing their products. Th? Secre tary said that the serial number and guarantee required by tbe pure food and drug act, to be placed on food and drug products, were being used by tbeae man ufacturera for this purpose. "The serial number," said Seoretary Wilson, "is assigned to fix the responsi bility, where it belongs-upon the manu facturers-and to protect in nocen t deal ers, who have a tight, under the law, to rely upon bis guaranty. It istbe guaran? tee of the manufacturer, not the guaran tee of the Government." . - The secretary declared that every odor t would be made by the Department to pu*. a atop to tbeee statements. "I will do a little advertising myself," he said, "in behalf of tbe people. I am growing tired of seeing these untruthful statement? on tbe advertising pages of the magSKlues, tbe walls of the New York eubway, and the advertising ?pace of street oars of the principal cities. Man ufacturers wbo will deceive the publio about the guaranty will lie about the quality of their product." He added that the law was to be ad ministered fairly, and that no honest manufacturer need fear that th* depart mest wiii take "snap judgment" on bim, or harass bim in any way. Cured of Rheumatism. Wm. Henry, of Chattanooga, Tonn., had rheumatism in his left arm. "Tho strength seemed to have gone out of the muscles so that it waa useless for work," be saya. "I applied Chamberlain's Pain Balm an J wrapped the arm ir. flannel at I night, and to my relief I found that the pain gradually left roe and the strength returned. In three weeks the rheuma tism had disappeared and has not since returned." If troubled with rheuma tism try a few applications of Pain Balm. You are certain to be pleased with the relief whioh it affords. For sale by J. V/. Bell, Walhalla; W. J. Lunney, Seneca. Puyehue bi Full Eruption.
