The town of Greeleyville was thrown into excitement by the attempt of a negro named Grant Keels to commit an assault on Mrs. Gest, a white woman about 80 years of age. T1he fiendish attempt was made about two miles from Greeleyville and wats frustrated by the cries of the old ady, r.in to her rescue her daughter and Mr.Bradshaw. The negro had thrown his victim down, but hearing others approaching, ran off and made good his escape. It will not do for the scoundrel to be seen anywhere in that section again. I was seriously afflicted with a cough for several years, and last fall had a more se veere cough than ever before. I have used many remedies without receiving much re lief, and being recommended to try a bot tle of Chamberlatn's Cough Remedy, by a friend, who, knowing me to be a poor wid ow, gave it to me, I tried it, and with the most gratifying results.

They had their photographs taken in a group and on their return home Captain D. J. Bradham turned one of the photos over to Artist IGoldberg, who transformed them from min iature to life size. The picture now adorns the wvalls of the sheriff's office and it is as ine a piece of work as we nave ever seen. Artist Goldberg certainly excelled himself with the Bradham brothers and we know this excellent specimen of his work will in duce others to have the pictures of their loved ones enlarged.

This' time last week we were certain that the >oys would have the honor of dining with the President ere this. The major is still in hopes that we will be a-signed to Gen. Butr's command: the men, too, are very anxious to be under him. Just as soon as the battalion is complete we will get orders and not before. There are niow 5'7 recruits that have passed the examination and 65 more ready to be exatmined. This comn pany will be mustered in witha the required nmber, 1006.

How can she expect to get it, when our first regiment and battalion could and cannot get from them a place with sufficient wvater for drink ing and bathing purposes and a place large enough to drill on? The battalion would ot be so anxious to leave if the merchants would take enough interest in them by furnishing the prop~er imptlemenotts for a drill ground and a pool to bathe iti. It is to their interest to keep ua here as n as posible. None of them will deuy tht their sales have increased. Then whyi not keep us here and furnish those things which are so much needed?

Breakage occurs in the following ways: In transit from State dispei sary to county dispeinsary. during which transit each case is handled six or eight times, and as the hand ling by railroad hands and drayien is extremely rough it is to be expee ted that the breakage item will be large. Then, after reaching desti nation and is opened 111, a change in temperature from hot to cold or from cold to hot, will cause die loss of sev eral bottles that break from expan sion or contraction as the case may be. Then, again, a bottle of beer or ale or porter will blow out its cork and the contents be lost. All of this goes to swell the item of breakage which is eharged to the expense ac count and is deducted from the prof its that go to the town and county. From my five years' experienee as dispeiiser I don't think that break ige, as Mr. Haselden says, should av Crage over 1 per cent. The average with the Manning dispensary. as showin by statements above, is less than per cent. E. S. EnviN. County Dispenser. Mahnnn, S. C., June 11, 1h08. Not ice.
