Dr. Matthez came to Anderson a little over four weeks ago intending to remain possibly ten days or two weeks, bringing with him letters of introduction of the highest character with regard to his high skill.and pro? fessional ability, not that such was needed, for his fame had long since been heralded throughout South Car? olina, lnstend of bringing his stay to a close after two weeks, he found it impossible to put aside the vast number who appealed to him for aid and assistance in giving them sight, thus he has remained over one month. Whilst the array of testi ! monials published in his behalf have been many and from high sources, yet none will earry more or greater weight than the valuable encomiums offered by persons living right in this community, whose name and standing is sufficient guarantee of the good work Dr. Matthez is doing. The letter of Miss Hubbard is such that any one might be proud of. Knowing this Dr. Matthez must well indeed have been all that he claimed and done all he promised in having enjoyed the intelligent judg? ment of Miss Hubbard. The evident heartfelt praise of Miss Williams is an honest testimonial which will carry great weight. In conclusion we can but urge upon those of our readers who have not consulted Dr. Matthez to do so at once. It is the opportunity of a life time. Having been here so much longer than he in? tended, his stay will soon be brought to a close. So go at once to his office at the Hotel Ohiquola. What Miss Hubbard Says. Anderson, S. C, Oct. 28,1895.

The time seems approaching when automatic road carriages, propelled by steam, electricity, or petroleum, will come into general use and take away from the patient horse the worst part of his daily toil. The odds, at pres? ent, seem to be rather in favor of pe? troleum. A most interesting competi? tion has recently taken place in France between varied specimans of motor carriages. The course precrib'ed was from Paris to Bordeaux?a distanco of 358 miles?and back again, any vehicle to stand disqualified if it consumed more than one hundred hours on the road. The big prize of the day?40, 000 francs ($7,720)?was for four-seat? ed carriages, which was won by Les Fils de Peugeot Freres, while Messrs. Panhard & Levassor secured second place with a two-seated carriage, mak? ing the round trip in twenty-four hours and fifty-three minutes. The winning conveyances were pro? pelled by gasoline, and the rate of speed was about 15 miles an hour, which is regarded as an extremely creditable performance, the long lines of hills being taken into account. These hills appear to have proved too much for the carriages propelled by electricity, of which only one got through, the others having abandoned the contest. One of the steam car? riages was brought to a standstill at Versallies early in the race, owing to an accident, and the others lost time by frequent stoppages of five or ten minutes, made for the purpose of taking in coal and water. The eletric al conveyances had all to stop, from time to time, to renew their dynamic charges, but the petroleum machines carried enough force for a twenty-four hours' run, and on the return journey the run was made without a single stop. In comparing the merits of the different propelling agents, the palm must, so far, be awarded to petroleum, which is clean and can be easily car? ried. The ordinary feeder used for short distances contains less than 4 quarts of oil, which will last over a journey of 20 miles, or two and one half hours. For long distances, a receptacle capable of holding enough petroleum for a run of at least twenty or twenty-four hours is provided. We hear also of bicycles propelled by petroleum, in which great interst has been exhibited, and half a dozen of such machines started in the race to Bordeaux, one, at least, holding its own among the larger vehicles. It is believed that light petroleum bicycles, tricycles and even four-wheelers, will soon come into general use, which will tend to relieve lady cyclists from the necesity of wearing short skirts. Al? together, it seems that petroleum is destined to become the popular agent for solving the problem of traffic and conveyances without horses in the streets of great cities and on smooth country roads. It has already made astonishing headway in the use and industries of the world. In Japan it has become almost the sole illuminant, and on the Caspian Sea the Russian steamers burn nothing else for their engines.?Scicn tific American. Bocklons Arnica Salve.

Late as the year 1860, the steamers plying on the Mississippi river were just as infested with organized gangs of gamblers as are some of the steamers now that ply between this country and Europe, and the scenes thereon occur? ring were frequently of a violent char? acter, for people are robbed nowadays with much more equanimity in all ways than they were in the good old times. During the fall of 1832, the steamer Orleans, Capt. Davis commanding, running between Nashville and the Crescent City, became the theatre of a rather typical encounter. A young man, of Natchez, going North for the summer on his wedding trip, had been requested by a number of merchants and planters in bis neighborhood to collect sundry accounts due them in New York and some other places which he proposed to visit. A gambling syndicate, in some mys? terious way, had gotten news of this and had been informed that if prop? erly handled, the young man might be an easy mark. They watched him carefully, and shortly after his arri? val in New York some of their mem? bers made his acquaintance and learn? ed that he would return South by way of Pittsburg, where he proposed to board a steamer for Louisville, and, after visiting a few days in'that city, I to take a packet for New Orleans that stopped at Natchez and other points on the river. One of the men who had made his acquaintance in New York joined him on the boat at Pittsburg, and, greeting him heartily as an old friend, intro? duced him to two alleged Louisiana planters, who made themselves quite agreeable. Cards were introduced in the gentlemen's cabin during the even? ing, and the young man was allowed to win small sums, so that by the time the boat reached Louisville he fondly imagined he was a complete master of the game and the equal of his oppo? nents. The game played in those days was twenty-card poker, that is with no cards in the deck below the ten?an excellent game to hold high and in? spiring hands and in which the "three pluck-one" or favorite cross-lifting trick of the gambling fraternity can be brilliantly employed. The packet Orleans was differently built from steamers nowadays, the men's cabin being on the main deck, directly under the women's, and, in? stead of the round wheel houses of the present, those of the Orleans were square, with a flat top which rose with? in two feet of the hurricane deck, with a distance between these houses of about thirty-six feet. The gamblers had' won all their vic? tim's money but a few thousand be? fore the vessel reached Vicksburg, but intended to complete their work before it arrived at Natchez. But a few miles above Vicksburg a tall man with a smooth-shaven face, who looked very much like a preacher, had come on board and he, with others, stood looking at the game in the men's cabin. The dupe was half drunk and wholly desperate,-the infatuation of hoping to win back holding him as in a vise and.making him deaf to the en? treaties and tears of his young wife, who several times had pushed through the throng of men, begging him to leave the game and come to their state? room. At 1 o'clock in the morning the last dollar of the victim had been swal? lowed up by the human river sharks, and, rising from the table, he rushed wildly to the sides of the vessel, doubtless with the intention of antici? pating disgrace by suicide. He was seized by the tall stranger, wno had followed him, and by his wife, who was watching him, and was pursuaded to go to his cabin and seek sleep in? stead of death. "Keep awake and watch him closely till I return," said the stranger to the distracted wife. Going back to the cabin where the gamblers and others were clustering at the bar, the stranger drew from his pocket a big wallet, and handing a $100 bill to the bar-tender, quietly asked for change. The other being unable to make it, referred him to the chief gambler. "With pleasure," said the man, and, noting the fat wallet, added courte? ously, "Won't you take a drink?" The tall man assented and casually remarked that, as he was going to stop off at Natchez, he supposed it was hardly worth while to go to bed, where? upon one of the other gamblers, get? ting a wink from his chief, chimed in: "i don't care to go to bed either. Let's play another game." Where? upon the stranger was invited to join them, and after some demur he con? sented. They allowed him to win some siza? ble bets, but just as the day was be? ginning to break the dealer gave him a hand that would induce him to bet still more largely. The ante was $5 and the blind was $10, the next man put in $20, the stranger $40, which was followed by $130. They went on raising each other in the usual fashion, except that the hundreds jumped rapidly into thousands, while the breathless crowd around them instinctively drew closer with a sense that something was com? ing. At last $100,000 was stacked up on the table and the dealer and one of his confederates had dropped out. The man who made the blind and the stranger remained, looking into each other s faces, the former with a flush on his forehead, the latter palo and cool, as if napping at church. But his eyes were very vigilant and ho was only waiting for the crucial moment when the dealer would slip a card to his opponent. Suddenly rising he drew a long, hideous looking knife, with a curious curved point, from his bosom, and, throwing his own hand on the table, said serenely: "Four kings and a ten take this pot." Then he seized the gambler by the wrist and added: "Show your hand as it is. If it contains six cards I shall kill you." The stranger's voice was almost as quiet as if he were speaking in alady's parlor. But there was a depth, a pur? pose in it which the whole crowd felt from head to foot. As the cards from the gambler's sud? denly twisted wrist fell on the table, they were seen to be four aces, a queen and a knave. There was a moment of deathlike silence. Then a roar like the breath of a prairie fire went up from the crowd, which was composed chiefly of planters and honest travelers. "Who the devil are you, anyway?" cried the baffled gambler when the shouts subsided. "James Bowie," was the answer. The voice was like velvet, but it cut like steel into the hearts of the chief gambler's confederates and deterred them from any purpose or impulse they might have had to interfere. They, with the crowd, shrank back from the table, smitten with sudden terror by the name. Bowie softly swept the bank notes into his large slouch hat and lightly clapped it on his head. "You must fight l.j for this," said (he chief gambler, recovering bis coup I age at the loss of his booty. "Certainly," said Bowie, "I said I should kill you. In which way do you prefer it? With knife or pistol?" "Notwith your weapon," replied the man savagely. "So be it, then!" returned Bowie. "Will some gentleman lend me a pistol and act as my second?" A dozen were instantly offered, and, selecting one very carefully, Bowie said: "Let it be at once, on this boat. Make the arrangements to suit your? selves. I will return in five minutes. Lightly as a panther he bounded up the stairs, went to the young man's cabin, knocked, handed the contents of his hat to the wife, telling her that two-thirds of it belonged to her hus? band and the rest to himself, and that he would return in a few minutes. The seconds had arranged that each of the duelists should stand on one of the wheelhouscs and that the signal should be given, "one, two, three, Sre?stop!" They were to shoot be? tween the words "fire" and "stop" as often as these words were uttered. At the first call the professional gambler fired before the word three was entirely uttered. Bowie fired just after, apparently without taking aim, and his opponent, with a shriek of agony, turned a somersault backward and fell into the river, just as the great round face of the sun, like a gol? den cannon ball, shot up from behind the neighboring bluff. Bowie blew the smoke out of his pistol, shut down the pan and descend? ed from the wheelhouse aB if littlo affairs of this kind were his usual ap? petizer before breakfast. Then he divided the money with tho young man's wife, and, in spite of their affectionate solicitations, for they re? garded him as their savior, clung about him and wished to take him home with them, he got off the boat at Rodney, telling the young man that he must never touch a card again as long as he lived. In the interests of history and in justice to this unusual man, it is well to give away the Bowie myth, which probably originated from a duel which he fought with the knife that bears his name in the year 1827. This, too, occurred near Natchez, on the opposite back Bowie came on the field with several friends, gentlemen of good standing, and so did his opponent. He received five wounds, but killed his man with a long hunting dagger which had been made by a blacksmith out of a worn out file. It had a double edge and curved point, and was afterward pat? ented and manufactured in Philadel? phia. But this duel, unfortunately, closed in a deadly melee of the spec? tators?a pitched battle in which six men were killed and 15 wounded. As the glory traveled it grew to be believed that Bowie himself had at? tacked over a score of men single handed, with this terrible numerical result, and the name of Bowie in the South and Southwest became a terror and a spell. The plain truth is that James Bowie not only never provoked a quarrel in his life, but prevented a great many. He was a man of singular modesty and sweetness of disposition, with a reverence for women, an extravagant fondness for children, and a calm read? iness to protect the weak ; in fine, with nothing at all of the desperado about him, except that, whenever it happened to be needed, he had on hand, to quote the fine phrase of President Jackson, "that desperate courage which makes one a majority." ?Illustrated American. No Place For -Them. An old soldier describes what turn? ed ou t to be a laughable experience of two of his comrades. In one view of it they were very unfortunate, but looked at in another light their case may be said to have been "twice blest;" for they were certainly glad to get in and gladder still to get out. . On one occasion, when during a maich. they halted, they discovered an old house near by, and thought it would be a nice thing to sleep under shingles once more. Accordingly they slipped out of the ranks, went over to the house, and spreading their blankets on the floor, went to Bleep. About daylight they were awakened by a soldier in charge of the place. "I don't want to disturb you fel lowa; but do you know where you are sleeping?" "No. Is this some general's head? quarters?" "No ; but it is old General Small? pox's hospital. It won't interfere with him, however, if sleeping here, don't trouble you any." "Whew!" shouted the luxurious sleepers simultaneously, as they ran out of the place. "Don't be in a hurry," shouted the guard cheerfully, "you are not dis? turbing anybody. There's only two fellows in here, and they're both dead." "Why didn't you tell us, you mis? erable scoundrel?" "Because I was asleep myself. Here, don't you want your blankets!" "Nol to blazes with the blankets!" "All right. I'll take good care of 'em till you come back again. I hope you will have it light." At this horrible suggestion tho men filed back to line, where, by begging, they got garments enough to make a change. It was many days before they got nd of the fear that they had the dread disease. It was much lon? ger before any one could say "shin? gles" to either of them with any de greo of safety. How to Prevent Croup. SOME READING THAT WILL PROVE INTERESTING TO YOUNO MOTHERS.

We have received a marked copy of the Chicago Inter-Ocean containing a letter from a special correspondent reviewing the political conditions in Alabama, and declaring that tbere is "no solid South now," because Alabama is awakening to the era of industrial protection." The idea of the correspondent seems to be that the best way to break the solid South is to give the Southern manufacturers a chance to raid the public treasury, to make them Republicans by making them thieves. Having found it impossible to make the South Republican by negro^ suffrage, by the bayonets of th? army, by sectional and repressive legislation, it is now proposed to bribe the South into an abandonment of its political principles. We do not think tbatthe South can be bribed any more tban it could be bull? dozed. But the Westorn idea is clear not only is it proposed to break the solid South by offering "industrial protection" to the iron makers of Alabama?but it is suggested that the Government should pay for the slaves. The correspondent of the Inter- Ocean says: "The reunion at Cbickamauga was a revelation and will cause a great change in the Northern heart. I heard an old Union veteran say: " 'I believe the country is at peace by God's blessing, and I think the time has come when the country Bhculd pay the Southern people for the slaves we freed. When that is done every sore will be healed, even the scabs robbed off, and I mean to say so when I go home.' "That would indeed be peace and would remove from the Southern heart every vestige of bitterness toward the Republican party. It would sweep the South like a prairie fire aud create a tie which could know no breaking." This is a shrewd political device, but it will not deceive any thoughtful person in the South. "An old Union veteran" does not understand the situation. The time has long passed to "pay the Southern people for the slaves we freed." The money could be put to good use down this way, of course, but it would have to be raised by taxation, and it would mani? festly not be fair to tax the South to pay the South for what the South lost in the war. We have no idea that the people of the North would consent to be taxed to "pay the Southern people for the slaves we lreed." Besides, nobody in the South asks or expects that the Government shall pay for the slaves. And it is alto? gether a mistake to suppose that money for the slaves "would remove from the Southern heart every vestige of bitter? ness toward the Republican party." Little as our Chicago contemporary and "an old Union veteran" may think of it, there are some things that money will not bny in some parts of "our common country." One of these things is forgive? ness of the Republican party for all of the sins which it has committed against the South. Money does not make people respectable or intelligent or patriotic or virtuous. Money cannot buy principle. Paying for the slaves will not make the South Republican.?News and Courier. In his speech the other day before the cotton manufacturers at the' Exposition Colonel D. A. Tompkins, of Charlotte, N. C, incidentally discussed the proposed employment of colored labor in the mills. Colonel Tompkins expressed no opin? ion on the subject, but in reply to the talk of the Northern manufacturers in regard to colored labor he says: "It is impossible for me to come to a conclusion as to whether the colored peo? ple would make successful mill hands or not. Nobody, not even those who know and love the colored people best, has ever had the courage to try the experiment. I believe I have about as many friends among colored people as any other aver? age man, and yet I would not dare to try the experiment of a cotton mill with colored operatives without the full con? sent of all my associates or stockholders to lose money in the experiment, if it should turn out tbat way. Nothing but experiment on, in my judgment, ever determine the question. In order to de? termine it I would be willing to be one of 100 persons to subscribe ?1 500 each for a mill to be operated by colored people until by losses it should be determined tbat the experiment was a failure, or by success it should bo demonstrated to be practicable." This Is a fair proposition and it repre? sents tbe sentiment of the Southern mill men. They are perfectly willing to em? ploy both races, but they are waiting for a favorable opportunity to make tbe ex? periment without running too great a risk. Colonel Tompkins is one of tbe most progressive and enterprising manufac? turers in tbe South, and his views are those of a conservative business man who has no prejudico to hamper him when he is dealing with the question of labor. The color of his operatives is not an important matter with him. Tbepolnt -is to get reliable and competent service at a reasonable rate. Colored labor will be in demand in the cotton mills just as soon as the mill owners become satisfied tbat it will be profitable. In tbe South there is no color line in business and labor. In this connection the result of tbe Anniston experiment will be watched with considerable interest. It is prorosed to organize and operate a cotton factory at that place exclusively by negro effort. A company has been chartered by tbe legislature and an enterprising and pub? lic-spirited negro is in charge of tbe un? dertaking. The plan is certainly a feasible one and we see no reason why it should not be a complete success. At any rate the effort will be watched with interest, and all will unite in wishing its promoters the success their energy merits.?A tlanta Constitution. Relics of the War. Sylvania, Ga., Oct. 27.?A Confeder? ate Veteran of Sylvania recently talked to a Telephone reporter of a lot of curious weapons of warfare with which a com? pany from Screven were armed at the be? ginning of tbe late war, and before they remembered that Governor Joseph Brown had caused to be constructed a large number of pikes with which to arm the Georgia troops, and this probably gave rise to the peculiar weapons that were made for the Screven company. Mr. George Cooper, the noted black? smith and the inventor of the well-known Cooper plow, was the designer and manu? facturer of this unique weapon, and it un? doubtedly surpassed Governor Brown's. It consisted of a bowie knife set in a firm handle, the whole thing being about two feet long. The knives were somewhat on tbe order of a short sword, and carried In a kind of scabbard at tbe side. The old soldier who was describing it and who belonged to the company, said that at? tached to the handle of these knives was a strong piece of elastic, probably eight or ten feet long?so that in an engage? ment the knives could be hurled at the enemy and then, after inflicting a wound, or in either event, would rebound into tbe hands of the owner. It could thus boused an indefinite number of time*, and at a distance, too, where swords cou'd not be brought into play. It will be seen that it was very much on the order of the ancient javelin, only the olastic attach? ment made it much more serviceable and a more dangerous and effective weapon at close quarters. Mr. Bob Kellev, of this county who was a member of the company, still has one of these old knives in bis possession which he treasures very much as a relic, and there are probably others scattered through tbe county. The blades of the knives were made mostly from lartre flat files, and being pointed and ground very sharp, were capable of piercing a man through and.through if thrown wbith ac? curate aim. The Screven boys, however, did not have the opportunity to tost the weapons in conflict, fcr they were soon furnished with other implements of war? fare and had to discard tbe knives. ?

Dr. Schneider-Preiswerk, in Basle, has discovered a novel means of sav? ing life in marine accidents, which if generally used will probably lessen greatly the number of lives lost by such accidents. Iiis invention- has been pronounced very important by the French Academy of Sciences, which in one of their last meetings listened very attentively to a lecture by Dr. Lanveraux upon the neiv inven? tion. The inventor docs away with all artificial belts and other floating ap? pliances. He proposes to inflate the cellular texture beneath the human skin on the breast, which, if filled with air, forms a natural pneumatic belt, by the aid of which one may not only float himself but even support another body. The idea is said to be perfectly practicable It has been proved that a man weighing 160 pounds, whose specific weight is be? tween 1.08 and 1.10 and whose head may weigh seven pounds need only about 200 cubic inches of air within hi? body in order to float with the head out of the water. This amount of air is easily inserted into a hollow space beneath the skin with Dr. Schncidcr.s aseptic syringes, which will in one injection inflate from 20 to 35 cubic inches of air. The introduction of the point, which is only two millimeters thick, will hardly be felt. Such a pump is not even necessary. It is much simpler to use a little apparatus also patented by Dr. Schneider, which consist of a hololw needle, a thin rubber hose 18 inches long, into which this needle is inserted. A little aspetic cotton placed into the open end of 'he rub? ber hose is all that is necessy. The skin is simply raised, the hollow needle introduced into it, and then the other end of rubber hose is taken into the mouth and the man's own breath blows into it. Two deep res? pirations, which are blown into each oi the breast, will be sufficient to float a man, however heavy.?Philadelphia Record. For Superstitions Women. These may be interesting to super? stitious women: Monday's child is fair of face. Tuesday's child is full of grace. Wednesday's child is born for woe. Thursday's child has far to go. Friday's child is loving and giving. Saturday's child must work for a living. But the child that is born on the Sabbath day, Is bonny and happy and wealthy and gay. Of the month in which one is born it is said: If a girl is born in January, she will be a prudent housewife, given to melancholy, but of good temper. If in February, a humane and affec? tionate wife and a tender mother. If in March, generous and impul? sive, but apt to be headstrong. If in April, inconsistent, not very intelligent, but likely to be good-look? ing. If in May, handsome., amiable and likely to be happy. If in June, impetuous, will marry early and be frivolous. If in July, passably handsome, but with a sulkly temper. If in August, amiable and practical, and likely to marry rich. If in September, discreet, affable and much liked. If in November, liberal, kind and of a mild disposition. If in December, well-proportioned, fond of novelty and eqtravagant. An Exasperated Landlord. A tale comes from the Nutmeg State of a man who traveled much and was well known wherever he went by hotel men and others as a "proverbial kicker." Nothing was ever good enough or bad' enough, hot enough or cald enough, rich enough or poor enough for him. One day he went to one of the best hotels in the State and put up for the night. His fame had preceeded him, and the landlord gave orders to high and low to serve him with the best, and to wait on him with alacrity. His wishes were all antici? pated that night, and he went to bed as happy as a man like him could be with nothing to growl about. In the morning extra pains were taken with his breakfast, after which the landlord went and inquired if everything was all right, adding that he trusted his breakfast had been satisfactory. "Well, it was fair," admitted the guest, "but I like a breakfast to be hot. This wasn't hot enough." "Very well, sir," responded the ex? asperated landlord, "we have done our best for you. There is, however, only one place so hot your breakfast would be sure to please you. You'd better go thefe." And walked off. Real Estate for Sale. ONE COTTAGE and Lot on West Mar? ket Street.
