THE KANNNG TIES. Mainiiizg, 93. C. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, jWNE 19, 1889. Wofford College had the best com mencement this year, for a number of years. There were sixteen graduates. All the speeches were good. Wofford is in a prosperous condition, and has an excellent outlook. The evil spirits seem to be let loose on earth, and to be doing their fearful work. Every paper contains accounts of some fearful disaster by wind, or flood, or flame, or explosion. or earthquake, or some other evil cause. The present year will be no ted for its many and fearful disasters. South Carolina will undoubtedly have a centennial about eighteen months hence, probably Jan. 3, 1891, which will be the centennial of the first session of the legislature in Columbia. Arrangements will be made, and the Columbia centennial will probably be the grandest in the history of the State. The farmers of three cotton States, South Carolina, Georgia, and Louis iana, have concluded to use the new cotton bagging which is to take the plce of the jute bagging made by bagging trust. Two niilion yards of the new bagging have been be spoken for the farmers of each of - these States-6,000,000 yards in all. This looks like a black eye for the trust. The death of a wealthy and eccen tric oldiiartT-yr, Texas, says a Southern exchange, has brought to light a remarkable will. The old man had no relations, and in his last will and testament he directs all his prc perty to be divided equally among all persons living in the Southern States who were born on his birthday, the 9th of March, 1835. The amount of the fortune to be distributed is not mentioned, but it is sail to be very Dr. T. B. McDow, the slayer of Capt. F. W. Dawson, will be tried in Charleston next Monday. He pleaded not guilty, last Monday, to the charge of murder, and by consent of counsel on both sides next Monday was fixed y of trial. It is charged t e drawing of the jury was tam pered with. The jury consists largely of negroes, whc it is claimed were not kindly disppsed towards Capt. Daw n.. --The trial:ill be of great inter est, and will be reported all over the country. It will probably embrace several days. The Charleston World is taking~ a' peculiar stand. It announced ada or two ago that it would publish the -entire proceedings of the McDow murder trial, fairly and impartially, without comments, giving simply the; proceedings as brought out in the court room.. Yesterday it began the ly in favor of Dr. Mcow We were in hope the World- meant what it aid. The public will better appreci ate the bare statements and facts *without any coloring. The vast amount of debris in Johnstown is being removed by ex ploding dynamite cartridges weighing several hung|red pounds each. They -move the debris, but the earth quakes with each discharge, and neighboring houses are damaged. A part of the; debris has been burned, cremating the bodies underneath it. A few1 bodies are found every day, but in a' fearful state of decomposition. The total loss oflife wasabout 4,000, on-I ly aboti one third the number at one time reported, but a fearful loss. *The town will be rapidly rebuilt.

There are few cases so flagrant that the plea of self-d'efense cannot be established. The present condition of public mor-! als is discoaing, and unfortunately there is no word that can be urged in its defense.-Pee-Dee Inder. A Fearful Warning. In less than th:ee yearsf24trerimi ls in York county have ended their lives on the gallows, five at one time without a trial, and five after convic tion in the courts. 'This is certainly an appalling rec ord, and should be a fearful warning, to the living. First comes the execu tion of Colombus Cranford, who was tried, convicted, and executed for murder. Next comes the lynching of five parties charged with the most horrible crime of killing a little inno cent boy. In December last two crimn nals were executed for the same crime1 of murder, and only last Friday the execution of two others. Several other murders have been committed in the county during that time, but the par ties charged have made their escape for the time, but certainly the record is large enough. It should serve as a Lwarning to all evil disposed persons,: thas beeri established that York Wo not propose to fail in the rnance of their duty and let the! ~ity go unpunished. We hope that rtefearful warning will be heeded and that our jurors will not soon be called upon to sit in judgment on similacrimes. It should ever be re membered that the way of the trans-: gressor is bard, and that sooner or later his fate will overtake him.- Yor/c Enterprise.

A Suggestion to Celebrate the One Hun dredth Anniversary of the Founding of the State Capital. As it is one hundred years this year since the State records and government papers were carried to Columbia, it would be ap propriate, I think, to have a centennial celebration in that city. This would be a suitable year for such a celebration. It is an off year in politics. It is also a year in which some of our people are trying to re vive an interest in our State history, and then, as I stated above, it is one hundred years since the State records were carried to Columbia. It was in March, 1786, that the Legisla ture provided for the founding of Columbia. At that time the land where it now stands was owned by the distinguished Taylor fam ily (one of whom was afterwards Governor of the State.) The city was laid out in 1787, and in January, 1790, the first Legislature met there in a session that lasted half a year. Such was the founding of Columbia. Many are the historical memories connected with the city. Theie, in May, 1791, Gen eral .Washington was honored with a pub lic dinner that was attended by a number of ladies and gentlemen. It was there that the Nullification Convention met in the No vember of 1832. It was in the Baptist church of that city and on December 18th, 1S60, that the famous Secession Convention met; and it was in this same city that one of the greatest acts of vandalism mentioned in modern history took place in February, 1865. I refer to the burning of the city by William Tecumseh Sherman. Columbia is the home of the Hamptons-a family that has been prominent in both the political and military history of South Car olina. It was there that the great orator, William C. Preston, lived. It was there that Horry, the Revolutionary patriot; James H. Thornwell, the.great Presbyterian; Maxcy Gregg. one of the knightliest of Carolina's Confederate soldiers; Henry Timrod, the American Tennyson, all lie buried. It is in that city that Carolina's Governors reside while filling this office. It was there that Beverly Nash lived-he was the negro who made Rutherford B. Hayes President of the United States, and during the dark days of Radicalism, Columbia was the home of Rob ert B. Elliott, an unscrupulous but at the same time one of the most brilliant negroes that has ever lived in the United States. It is in Columbia that the South Carolina College stands. What a number of able men have been connected with this institution as instructors, and what a number of eminent men can be numbered among its grad uates! At the unveiling of the Confederate mon ument ten years ago last month one of Col umbia's most eloquent and distinguished citizens-the late 'en. John S. Preston-de scribed in language simple and touching how Columbia looked before it had been vis itzd by the ravages of war: "How beautiful the dear old town was, with its quiet, deep shaded streets, its com fortable, cheery looking houses, surrounded by gardens bright with evergreens and gor geo'is with flowers, redolent of nature's sweetest incense. Its people happy, cheer ful and busy in honest and prosperous toil. We all knew each other and every one trust ed his neighbor, and gentle charity waved her wand and sceptre over us." The city has recovered much of her old time beauty. It is unquestionably the prettiest place in South Carolina, and it is pleasant to state that there is a steady growth about the city which shows that it is not going backward in the race of progress. It is not my intention to give a sketch of Columbia, my only aim is to impress on our people that a centennial ought to be held in the city. It is sincerely to be hoped that a centennial worthy of the Palmetto State and her beautiful capital city will be held there. In speaking of the project, the Kews and P...er says: Mr. McDonald Furman's suggestion that the onb hundredth anniversary of the es tablishment of the State government at Col umbia be celebrated will doubtless be re ceived with favor by the people of the entire State. This is a celebration ini which the whole of South Carolna should take and in which the publicsp Columbia will fee ne ssin Leg ure after the removal of the seat of the State govern ment was held in January, 1790, and th'ere could be no better time than January next to celebrate the centennial.of this historical event. Charleston, we are sure, will be ready to join with Columbia in an effort to make the celebration in perfect keeping with the ancient renown and classic dignity of South Carolina; while every other city and town in the State will contribute to the-success of an enterprise which will illustrate the growth and glory of our Commonwealth. The centennial at Columbia ought to be made much more than a public holiday. It will afford an admirable opportunity for 'taking stock,' for comparing what we are with what we were, for making an exhibi tion of our material resources, of our pro gress in the arts and sciences, in morals, in literature and law. A centennial association should be formed without delay at the State Capital and the plans for the celebration should be perfected with all possible dis patch. The State Board of Agriculture should be placed in charge of the indiistr-ial features of the exposition, and the mer chants, manufacturers and business men of the* State generally should be invited to contribute to the success of the undertak ing. The Columbia centennial should be made, and with proper effort can be made, one of tlie6 ifost imposing and profitable of all the centennials of this century of centen nials. "Whiskey-Scarred Veterans.." Altogether, it is a pitifal story that Mrs. Chapin's friend tells about the condition of the Soldier's Home at Hampton, Virginia, where 2,700 Union veterans are supported by the United States Government. Just think of it-"eighty per cent. of the men "drink to excess;" three of them have been known to be fished out in one (lay from the river into which they had tumbled while in a tipsy condition, and they buy their whis key at "a National saloo'n" licensed by the Government and established at the Soldiers' Home, so that the veterans can have their liquor handy. But worse than this, on pension days and pay days no passes are issued to the veterans so that they can go outside the gates; but the money is paid to them and the National saloon gets its share of the bounty given by a generous country to its brave defenders. It is also worthy -of note~that a National flag floats over the 'Kational saloon. About a month ago the Rev. J. P. Abbott, of Medford, Massachusetts, preached a ser mon on the liquor question, in the course of which he said that "more men owed their "disabilities to whiskey from the sutler's "tent during the war than to shot and "shell," and characterized a large propor tion of the Grand Army of the Republic as "whiskey-scarred and maimed veterans.' The story that comes from the Soldiers' Homie at Hampton appears to show that the sutler's tent is accomplishing its work as well in time of peace as it did in time of war. -Setes and C'ourir. Hammond on Ice Water. Here are some of the charges the lively Dr. William A Hammond brings against the deadly ice pitcher: Its contents may cause death if taken when the body is over heated. A big drink of ice water is as bad as a kick in the stomach. Anmeric-ans have the poorest teeth of any people. -and ice water is the cause of it. As to the stomach, a whole chamber of horrors is created in its insides by the ice water fiend. Ice water causes confirmed dyspepsia. But that is the least of its train of evils. It also pro duces catarrh of the stomach. Nay, there is reason to believe that it originaites cancer of the stonjiach too. Americans are more subject to that disease than other nations are. Ice water lessens the heart's action. It also impairs the sense of taste. And once Dr. Hammond knew a fancy ice cold soda fountain drink to be followed by a ter rible ease of facial neuralgia.

For sale at the TDIzzs Scrofula is a form of blood poison which de scends from parent to child; some times it omits one generation to ap pear in the next. It is a taint which must be eradicated from the system before a cure can be made. Swift's Specific drives out the virus through pores of the skin, and thus relieves the blood of the poison. Mercury and potash mixtures dry up the sores of scrofula and other blood diseases, I only to bottle up the poison in the system, which of course is certain to break out at some weak spot, as the throat, nasal organs and lungs. Judging from what I have seen, I regard Swift's Specific the king - ent medicine of the day. I know sev eral persons who have been perma nently cured of serious cases of blood poison by its use after prolonged and unsuccessful use of various other remedies. JAMES C.

JonssTowx, PA., June 14.-A large num ber of new men arrived this morning and were placed at the work. General Hastings is succeeding admirably. The work is now thoroughly systematized. In the debris above the bridge which is now burning it is certain there are a large number of bodies. The friends of those still missing at first objected to burning the debris, but the hor rible condition in which the bodies have lately been received has caused them to withdraw their opposition to the burning. A number of stores were opened to-day. The first through trains east and west pass ed here to-day. Business men are now re ceiving supplies, and a building boom is assured within the next few days. Com mercial travelers from all parts of the coun try are now here. They are instructed to inform the merchants that they can pur chase on their own time. B. B. B. (BOTANIC BLOOD BALM.) If you try this remedy you will say as many others have said, that it is the BEST blood purifier and tonic. Write Blood Balm Co., Atlanta, Ga., for book of convincing testimony. J. P. Davis, Atlanta, Ga. (West End), writes: "I consider that B. B. B. has per manently cured me of rheumatism and sci atica." R. R. Saulter, Athens, Ga., says: "B. B. B. cured me of an ulcer that had resisted all other treatment." E. G. Tinsley, Columbiana, Ala., writes: "My mother and sister had ulcerated sore throat and scrofula. B. B. B. cured them." Jacob F. Sponcler, Newnan, Ga., writes: "B. B. B. entirely cured me of rheumatism in my shoulders. I used six bottles." Chas. Reinhardt, No. 2026 Fountain Street, Baltimore, Md., writes: "I suffered with bleeding piles two years, and am glad to say that one bottle of B. B. B. cured mc." J. J. Hardy, Tocoa, Ga., writes: "'B. B. B. is a quick cure for catarrh. Three bot tIes cured me. I had been troubled several years." A. Spink, Atlanta, Ga., says: "One bottle of B. B. B. completely cured ruy child of eczema." W. A.

CHENEY & CO., Toledo, 0. ;&?Sold by druggists, 75c. Dr. Andrew Simonds. The death of Dr. Andrew Simonds, which occurred yesterday (June 13th) can hardly be described as in any way a surprise to the community, for it was known for some days back that he was lying in a very critical condition. But for all the warning of the approaching end of Euffering, the death of Dr. Simonds must strike the Charleston public with the shock cf the removal of a veritable "paladin of finance." Dr. Simonds was born in Abbeville coun ty, South Carolina, and the principal work of his life is summed up in the history of the First National Bank, of Charleston, the affairs of which he has successfully conduct ed for a quarter of a century, and the stock of which to-day stands one hundred and five per cent. above par, or at two hundred and live dollars a share. Dr. Simonds was a man of considerable wealth, having amassed the bulk of it in the management of his bank. .1e possessed considerable artistic taste, and his hand some residence on South Batter contains perhaps the finest art gallery in te State of South Carolina. As a financier he stood before the public a man of note and promi nence, and his death therefore leaves quite a void.--kCaleston old1. ENTITLED TO THE BEST.

HOW IT WILL BE DONE. Five prominent gentlemen from different sections of the county will be requested to give away the prizes, in the following man ner: These gentlemen will place in one box a number of tickets equal to the number of bscribers, all of which tickets er similar box ontaining the ers, one name ets have been in the boxes, n up and mix st. Then the four or five yer ol ilbe blindfolded, and one will draw from the box 'containing the names of the paid up subscribers and the other from the box containmng the tick ets. The committee will at every drawing (one from each box) inspect the tickets that have been drawn and announce the result. For instance, suppose the little boys have each drawn a ticket from their respective boxes. 'Ihe name drawn by -one little boy is Always Loseum, and the ticket drawn by the other is a blank. That means Mr. A. Loseum has failed to secure a prize. The little boys draw again. The name is Lucky Fellow, and the prize ticket has sewing ma chine on it. That means Mr. L. Fellow has secured the sewing machine for his prize. The drawing will thus continue till all the prizes have been given away. This plan seems to us as fair as possible, and to have the least objections. Our sub scribers may rest satisfied that everything will be done in fairness. 'rHE HONOR LIST.
