Excelsior, January 25.--We had a good rain on Friday and th< eather is again cool and bracing. Mrs. Caroline Cook is visiting her daughter near Prosperity. It is not thought the grain in this section is seriously injured by the cold weather. Our school has several new pupib since Christmas and is moving or ',' nicely. Mr. Ira Nates, of Columbia, has been at his home here for a few days on the sick list. His health is much inproved now, however. Mr. Willie Maffett, of Edgefield, visited Mr. D. B. Cook's family here last week. Mrs. Willie Blanton has returned to her home at Graniteville after a several days' visit to hier fathier's family here. Misses Janie Kinard, of Leesv,ille, and Bettie Werts, of Etheridge, are visiting in this comiiunity. Mr. ). B. Cook has rebuilt the tenant house receitly destroyed by fire on his place. With a good daily mail service we feel like we are living inl town now. Sigma. THE STATrE DISPENSARY. Last Report of the Old Board of Directors Has Beci Made to Governor Heyward. The old board of directo.is of the State dispensary, consisting of Chairman L. J. Williams, H-. H. Evans and Wilie Jones, made their last annual report to Governor Heyward, which is as follows: To His Excellency, D. C. Hey ward, Governor of South Carolina: We have the honor to submit here with a statement of the business done by the State and county dis pensaries during the fiscal year year ending November 3n. 1903 By referring to the severI state ments attached hereto you will find that the total cost of liquurn. wines, beer, etc, for the year las been $1,997,559-47, and that the total sales (exclusive of fresh beer) litv been $2,817,998.77. The iet earnings for account c tli- school finld for the fiscal year whicl have beenl placed to its crdit alliolilt to S$ 26.266 The iel profits that have accrued to and equally dlivided between the count iet and townus amtounit to 851 2,2 16.35. Grand tot al of earningr for the yemj for school fund and counties and( to~ ns, $638,48S2. 35: inicrease ovel eam nings of last y'ear, $7 1,584 02. TFwo years ago the school fund amounted to $6i 1,354 38, and thec Act of February' 26, 1902, require& us to reduce this somii to $40o,ooo, aind within a fewv days we will have met this requirement. As we said in our last report, $400,00o is an insufficient amount to conduct the business of the dispensary on a cash basis. In conclusion, we are gratified to say that the business of the dis pensary has been conducted with harmony and success in all its de partments, and while the volume of business has increased, we attribute it to a more rigid enforcement of the law rather than to an increased cosumption of liquors.

Cullom, Editor of the Garland, Texas, News, has wrillenl a letter of congratulations to the nianu facturers of Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy as follows: "Sixteen years ago when our first child was a baby he was subject to croupy spells and we would be very uneasy about him. We began using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in 1887, and finding it such a reliable rem edy for colds and croup, we have never been without it in the house since that time. We have five children and have 0 iven it to all of them with good results. One good feature of this remedy is that it is not disagreeable to take and our babies really like it. Another is that it is not dangerous, and there is no risk from giving an overdose. I congratu late you upon the success of your rem edy."
