In the presence of 2,000 people, the monument in Columbia to the memory of the late Mr. N. G Gonzales was un veiled, and was presented to the city Tuesday. It is a monument not only to an un usual man, but to a martyr, who lost his life in protecting the welfare of his state. The people have done well in erecting this memorial. The Southern Ploughman, published in Columbia by Rev. Richard Carroll, colored is a remarkable good agricul tural paper, very much better than many of the so called agricultural pa pers that are generally offered by the weeklies as premiums. The Ploughman contains a great deal of matter of important interests to all farmers. It is strikingly well edited, and deserves a large circula tion, and sucessful career. our Liver? It will pay you to take good care of your liver, because, if you do, your liver will take good care of you. Sick liver puts you all out of sorts, makes you pale, dizzy, sick at the stomach, gives you stomach ache, headache, malaria, etc. Well liver keeps you well, by purifying your blood and digesting your food. There is only one safe, certain and reliable liver medicine, and that is TftedfbnTs Blesk-Orauglit The recent report of the weather bu reau for this section contains some statements of very serious importance. It says: » Tho deficiency in rainfall for this year at present amounts to about twen ty-two inches, and it will be necessary for more than an inch of rain to fall daily in order to catch up. It is not expected that the deficiency will be greatly reduced before the end of the month, and on the weather records the past year will go down as a dry one. The present deficiency in rainfall i.- considerably larger than any of receni years, though there has been a defici ency annually since 1893 as follows: I89-! 0 17; 1895, 1.86; 1896 . 9.08; 1897 6 06; 1898 i0 82; 1899, 12.41 ; 1900. 18.64 : 1901, 24.04; 1903, 19 52; 1903, 13.88; 1904, 18.96. The normal rainfall for this sectior useiTtn ne abmH-i? me but during the past ten years it has been reducefr fo only about 31 inches. Under thes* conditions js it strange the water ii ur wells lias steadily got low- i li-wer? \ud that all over tin , . I - ml springs have gone •lor people are already paying tin , nnhy for the dninterrupted destine • i die forests. And unless soin? prompt measures are taken to stop the ^discriminate destruction of what forest* remain, and to renovate lands already deduded, tne penalty of thi> violation of the laws of nature wil yearly become more severe. For over f»0 years this wonderful vegetable remedy has been the standby {»\in thousands of homes, and is today the favorite liver medicine in the world. It nets gently on the liver and kid neys, and does not irritate the bowels. It cures constipation, relieves con gestion, and purifies the system from an overflow of bile, thereby keeping the body in-perfect health. Price 25c at all druggists and dealers. Test it. Then.

NsOsra Advertising. ▲ little over half a century Ego I) WEE considered beneath the dignity of many substantial concerns to adver Use beyond the Insertion in the new* papers of an occasional business card. Borne of the experiences of that tim» show how recently advertising, as w« know it, has developed. A retail hardware house in an east trn city once found Itself possessed of ten times the number of articles of a certain kind that it had intended to buy. As they bad been ordered espe cially for a new hotel and were of a pe culiar design, there seemed to be no way of disposing of them except at « merely nominal sum. One of the younger men connected with the concern offered to "move them” at a fair price provided he be permitted to advertise. The sugges tlon encountered much opposition, but finally a small sum was set apart tr carry It out. The advertisement was drafted in an attractive way, and the people soon began to buy the new art! cle. Finally the house was obliged to send to the manufacturers for more. When the next season’s trade opened, the member of the firm who had most opposed the experiment whispered to the young man that he had bettei write out a few notices "and put them In the papers.” From such beginnings the advertis ing practice has come.

If there Is the slightest doubt in the minds of any that Dandruff germs do not exist, their belief is compelled by the fact that a rabbit innoculated with the germs became bald in six weeks’ time. It must be apparent to any person therefore that the only prevention »-f baldness is the destruction of the germ - which act is successfully acccmplished In one hundred per cent, of cases by the application of Newbro’s Herpicide.

Has any one ever noticed that a si lent man has usually the best broken horses? It may not be true, but all the men of my acquaintance who do not talk much have well broken horses Drive with them, and you will wouder how they manage their horses. No management is visible. The horse goes where he is wanted without apparent effort on the part of the driver. One famous turfman at least has been not ed for his art in driving a horse to the limit of his speed without making a move while his rivals were lifting and yelling and whipping theirs. How did he do it? Don’t know, but be was a man of few word*. Probably there is a lesson in this Tfio average horse understands only a few things thoroughly, only a few words, signs or commands. The silent man gives only a few, and he does not confuse his horse. The horse is made to know them thoroughly. He under stands the man who understands him It is a pleasure to drive a horse that understands. Few pleasures in life can equal it if the horse Is a good, cheer ful driver. There would be more of this kind If they were made to know a few things thoroughly—the rlgh* things.—National Stockman. Wfcjr Be Renewed Hie Teeth.

Bond very Word and Be Posted— Re-assessment of Real Estate and Per sonal Property—Bring Your Tax Receipt. Owing to the fact that all the town ships are divided into school districts, several school districts subdivided into districts, and all districts numbered, it becomes necessary for each taxpayer to give tiie number and name of his district as well as the township in which Ins property is located, when he makes his return. Where a taxpayer owns more than one tract or lot of land, each tracLt**— lot must be made on a separate blank. All returns must be sworn to that the valuation is the true value, if not they will be subject to 50 per cent penalty This is the law as lately con structed by the Attorney General and is according to instructions received at this office from the Comptroller Gener al. DON’T FORGET THIS! The law requires you to value your property at its true value and swear to it. It is less work for me to take your return than to add 50 per cent penalty. Taxes are high enough without paying penalty, so make your return. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,) Aiken County, Auditor’s office, > Aiken, S.
