They want the Navy Department lo ga//C on a real hero who will contrast favorably with the narrow, selfish, en vious, and brazen Sampson. They have not the countenance to look his very opposite- the brave and modest Kclllcy-in the face. Obi Charleston can't do the "high land tiing" nor the "il corgi a* cake walk" i;i such u rip-roaring fashion as her ac complished sister. Atlanta, but when a sure enough cake is at stake and she steps nut on tin- tloor. she is .just so mortui pretty that anything she. wants is hers.

The administration knows well thai the hero of Santiago is too good a sailor to complain of tiny assignment given him. and presuming upon bis modesty nn?l uncomplaining submission to higher authority, it has assumed a very contemptible and picayunish attitude toward a man whoso only fault is that hr is not a pampored favorite with a narrow, mean ?nd partisan administration at Washington. Certainly the Demo crats, for political reasons, are looking on complacently at the ?leliberat?- sui cide ol' its old enemy. - ? . m lt is a little remarkable that noone has seen th?- importance of a society for tho Prevention of Cruelty to Ani mals us yet. Three weeks ?go, we set forth many reasons why Anderson should have such an organization: sine?' that time, wu have seen such cruelty and barbarity that wi- feel constrained again to make au appeal to the human ity of the good people <>f tin- ?-?ty t?> take som?? united steps to put an end to the cruel torture to which our faith lui brutes an- subjected. N??w that winter ami its attendant rigors and hardships upon all animals ?re about toc?me upon us. let us have the society in easy running order in time lo secure many needed reforms in thc line of ex posure and general lack ?>? attention. Our columns are open to any one hav ing suggestions t?> oller or calls for a meeting on the subject, and we hope some one, lady or gentleman, will take the lead. In many cities the ladies Jiavc taken the initiative, ami if An derson's ladies won hi only follow, we will vouch for a good Organization and good results. The Republican party is lloundering hopelessly in a sea ol' trouble that threatens to beat it to fragments. A little while ?go thcprospi'ct of ? dimu nition of thc war tax was alluringly held out by thc administration. That prospect has faded away like. ? morn ing-glory under the chilling nip of some delayed frost, forgotten in thc calculations of thc weather bureau. 11 is now admitted that war taxes must be elevated and new sources of rovonuo discovered or invented. In fact, thc internal revenue bureau baa already unnoticed its determination to make certain lincR of business contribute more largely to tho national larder. Thus it isthat the whole ugly story and calamitous consequences of the Philippine war is being told and di vulged. Thc country does not object to a burdett, however heavy, that in volves the defence of notional honor ?ind that is approved by (lu* national conscience, luit a bm (ton imposed by bungling incompetent oUicinls, in response to tho dciiiamlH of an un wholesome militnryisni or for campaign purposes, tho country doc? object to ami will resent at the first opportunity. The opportunity will be presented by th?- ballot box in 1000, and. if th?- coun try declines to embrace it. then thc country hliall deserve thc woes that .?-Inill follow the continuation in oflieo and power ot a Republican parly. Death sf lb. ! M. I tro IT n. Thc Lockcshiirg \rk.) /feuiovntt, ?( thc 21st inst., contained thu following notice of tin- death <>l a former citizen of Anderson, which, we know, will bc read with sadness by his many old friends and relatives in this section: At his home in Ile (?neon, Ark., at fl o'clock a. m.. Tuesday, September 12th, Ifl?M?, Dr. Kliab Moore lltown passed "over the liver to rest under the shade i of thc trees," aged Ufl yours. Heath rc- ! suited from malarial trouble. He wan sick only live days. <>n Wendcsday. j (lie Pith, his mortal remains were lani I to lest in the new cemetery, one. mile I west of De tineen, after' appropri- j ate funeral .servier? conducted by Kev. C. W'nrdhiw, pastor of the l)e Queen Itiijit?Ht. Church. 'J'hc Confeder ate Veterans, Doctors and Masons participating. The following was lin* ! order of thc service: Masons formed into line at lodge, marched in double column totlie home, escorted thc body to thc Church. As the corpse was borne into thc Church thc choir sang, "We shall reach thc summer laud, some sweet day br and by." 1'raver hy the pastor of the Church. Prof. Chas. K. Williams, as thc rep resentative of the, Confederate Veter ans, spoke of Dr. Brown as a soldier, after which tue choir sang, "hst us 1 puss over thc river and rest under the shade of t (ur t rees.'' Dr. I (row II us a physician, was spoken of by Dr. J. W. Hammonds, thc choir following with the song. "Thc H real I Physician." Mr. fl. (J. McCurley, representing thc ; masonic fraternity, spoke of thc de.- . ceased as a Mason, being followed by I the song, "Around thc Croat White I Throne, nf ter which Kev. C. Ward law read a portion of thc l?th chapter of first Corinthian.1-'., concluding I In reading with the last verse of thc Hook of Daniel-"Go thou thy way until thc end; for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the cud of thy ?lays." Ile gave a brief sketch of the life of Dr. Hrown, speaking of him as a citizen, the head of a family, and a member ol' tho Missionary Baptist Church. Kev. Manville offered an earnest prayer, j after which the .Masons again took ! charge of the body, the choir singing, "Tliat Beautiful Land" as the body was nome from the Church, followed by thc people. At the ?fra ve thc burial service of the Masons was carried ont. j Mayor Craig issued a proclamation ? suspending nil business ni De Queen j from Kia. m. to'J p. m., out of respect to the memory ol lhe.deceased, livery- j body heeded this proclamation mid we might say all attended the funeral. The school adjourned, and attended! tho service, inarching in the procession to the Church. De Queen did herself great honor in honoring as she did one of her greatest and truest citizens. Di. Drown was born in Anderson; County, S. C.. June 17. IS.'M. Some ] time between IMO and I HIM) he joined tim Missionary Baptist Church at Townville. S. C. After thc Civil War he moved to Helton, S. C., to which he changed his Church membership, lie was educated in tho Count v of Iiis na tivity, studied medicine anil graduated from the Medical College in Atlanta, (ia., in IH3JI. In July, 1H?!>. he married Miss Kniily Moore, of Anderson Coun ty, S. C., by whom he raised a family of live sons. She with three sons survive him. Two of his sons. Hrs. Hobt, and .lohn, preceding him to the grave-Dr. ! Hobt, having died Nov. rth, IN!??, and Dr. .lohn, Nov. I Ith. l>??t?. When the Civil Wai bogan, the de censed volunteered and entered service ns Lieutenant of Cu. ;, 2ndS.C. Volun teers. Later he was promoted to Cap tain ni Maj. Moore's Keginient. Dr. Drown was thrice wounded. No brav er soldier graced the field of battle. No truer citizen breathed the uirof liberty and independence. No doctor wrought : harder and more faithfully to dolus! whole duty. As a father and husband he was tender and considerate, lie was too magnanimous to be unjust to even an enemy, if he had one. His lib was un open nook beforo thc people with whom he lived. His neighbors read it and approved it by their last tribute of respect to his memory. At the time of his death he was chairman of the Hoard of Medical Examiners of this County, ?iud thc commanding offi cer of Camp "John ll. Morgan." Con federate Veterans, lt may bo truly said of him, whatever his hands found to do, ho did it with ali his might. -mmaw- O -mmm Pendleton Items Dr. Law. of Spartanburg, preached an excellent .sermon at the Presbyte rian Church on Sunday morning.

ON THU VKKOKOI- TOTAL IILIXDNKSH, TIIINKINO Tin-: SioiiT is UKIN ri UK STOHKD * When an old person ii rst begins to Buf fer I rom cutana;!, tho crystalline lens of tho e3'e, from the result of i n fla m in at or.v actton ol' the leus substance, begins to sweii a little aud their reading glasses no longer suit them. It ia a common mistake for lierions thus affected to suppose they are getting what they call their second night. Such cases are frequently caused from unequal vision and should hare very careful atten tion in regard io glasses, and if the proper spectacles are used the growth of the cataract can in mosteases bo checked. This swelling of the lons "of the eve" makes tho person near sighted for dis tance and tho ?lass that will give the best vision should he p/escribed and con stantly worn. Thou* glnnse* will largely restore distant vision which he had sup posed lost, also tond tn stimulate the optic, nerve aud all otho- nerves of the eye. causing a revived action of the mus cles and media nf the ey? and in most cases cheeking t ho growth or formation of the cataract, entirely, thu? preventing what would otherwise result in total j blindness.
