"There is only one chance to save your life and that is through an operation" were the startling words heard by Mrs. I. B. Hunt of Lime Ridge, Wis., from her doctor after he had vainly tried to cure her of a frightful case of stomach trouble and yellow jaundice. Gall stones .had formed and she constantly grew worse.

C., Dec. 22?Several months ago the little.three-year- old son of Mr. > William Sentell, a prominent cotton mill A - man of Dexter, in this vicinity, began ZT.i ' coughing violently, and kept this up almost incessantly, developing what ap* peared to be a case of galloping ponsumpk tion, which was quite puzzling to every : one of account of the extreme youth of . the child. About two weeks ago he coughed up a shoe button which had evidently been ! - swallowed several months ago, and was the cause of the trouble. The bright little boy is now recovering rapidly.

Beaufort, Dec. 21?The Coosaw - \ Phosphate Mining company, the oldest |g concern engagetl in the phosphate industry in this section will suspend operations indefinitely on the 22d inst., and a &V large number of persons will be thrown out of employment, i he concern is com^ pelled to close dow n owing to the fact that they have now more rock on hand than the}* can accommodate in their dry sheds, where the rock is stored awaiting shipment to foreign*markets, being taxed to their utmost capacity. m How to Care Croap. Mr. R Gray, who lives near Amenia, Duchess county, N. Y.,says: "Chamber* ' Iain's Cough Remedy is luebest midicine : 1 have ever used. It is a fine children's remedy for croup and never fails to cure." W hen given as soon as the child beconn s hoarse, or even after the croupy cough has developed, it will prevent the attack. This should be borne iu mind and a bottle of the cough remedy kept at hand ready for instant use as soon as these symptoms appear. For sale by Bamberg Pharmacy. His Neck was Broken. Waltekboro, Dec. 21?Last Monday morning on a plantation near Toogoodoo creek, in this county, a negro man by the name of James Barnwell was found dead in a cotton patch near his house. He had not been seen since Friday afternoon so a search was made for him with the result as stated above. Dr. Taylor was summoned, and upon examination found that his neck had been broken. The negroes in that section suspect foul,,play and have had Will Drayton arrested on suspicion. A jnrv was empaneled by Magistrate Behling but the inquest was adjourned until another day on account of the absence of Dr. Taylor. Worltls's Champion. "I tried many remedies to cure piles," writes W. R. Smith, of Latham. 111., "hut found no relief till I used Bucklen's Arnica Salve. 1 have not been troubled with piles since." It's the only champion pile cure on earth and the best salve in the world, 2oc per box, guaranteed by Dr. ( J. B. Black and Thomas Black. A Holiday Catastrophe. We find the following account of a holiday catastrophe in an Arkansas exchange: "He was coming down the railroad with his Christmas purchases, and was only two miles front home when he fell j into a culvert, breaking his skuli and a jng containing four gallons of the finest whisky ever made in this county." As no other "purchases" are mentioned it is presumed the jug and contents was the sum total. r:; v" "* ' .1 ' v - t First He Had Heard Of. "IIow are you. Champ V" asked Galusha A. Grow, of Pennsylvania, the oldest member of the House. "Pretty well," replied Representative Clark, of Missouri. "I gained twenty- j five pounds during the last campaign."* I "Is that so? " retorted Mr. Grow. "It; is the only Democratic gain I heard of this year." No one can reasonably hope for good health unless his bowels move once each day. When this is not attended to, disorders of the stomach arise, biliousness, headache, dyspepsia, and piles soon fidlow. If you wish to avoid these ailments keep your bowels regular by taking i Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets j when required. They are so easy to i take and mild and gentle in effect.

It is a perennial nuisance. Year after year the time for the payment of taxes has been extended until the people generally have looked upon it as a foregone conclusion that the usual extension will be made. It would l>e a splendid thing if some of these folks should be badly fooled and were made to pay the penaltics. The State ought to fix a time for the payment of taxes and then stick to it. like other people do. There is no reason or sense, to say nothing of economic considerations, for the State to fix December 81 as the last day for the payment of State and county taxes, and then, at the ast moment, extend the time until February 1 or March 15, as has been so often done. It is child's play in an important matter. Dr. Timmerman will, in a short time, | be scratching his head because he has no money with which to meet the semi-annual interest on the bonds of the State. He will meet the interest charges, but will probably have to skirmish around to get the money. This is brought about nrst by ine persistent postponement of the last day for paying taxes and the county treasurers holding funds which they ought to send to Columbia. There never was a better time than the present to impress the fixedness of the statute as to the payment of taxes. The Governor and Comptroller General can extend the time for paying taxes, and they ought to announce at once that there will be no extension this year. It is generally admitted that the people pf the State are in better financial condition than they have been for many years and that in some sections they are more prosperous than they have been since the war.?Columbia Correspondence News and Courier.

Boston, Dec. 21.?The most remarkable criminal case tried in the Massachusetts Superior Court in many years, and which aroused intense interest in the fashion, able Back Bay district, ended yesterday when Judge Bond probationed Marion Rogan, who had blinded for life Dr. Frank L. Taylor, a dentist, by throwing vitriol in his* face out of revenge for her betrayal. The young girl had earlier appeared before the Judge and told her pitablestory, and showed the white-haired justice her little babe of which she claimed Taylor was the father. She said Taylor, after he had wrecked her life, had told her he was irresistible among women by reason of his good looks. In announcing his decision Judge Bond said from the evidence it appeared that Dr. Taylor had sought out Miss Rogan, knowing she was a virtuous woman, who had in no way wronged him, for the sole nnrnnse of causing her ruin. and. after he hail accomplished it by fraud and deception, and the use of intoxicating liquors, if not by drugs, he unfeelingly cast her off without assistance and advised her to resort to a life of prostitution, and even boasted of his disgraceful conduct with this young woman." "Such a man," the Judge added, "is so vile that I have no pity for him in his unfortunate condition." " Judge Bond said he regretted that Miss Rogan did not leave the punishment of her betrayer to a higher power than herself. As "to the possibility that siiniliar acts of personal vengeance would follow the probationing of this prisoner, the Judge said that such acts were so rare, none other having come before him in the forty years of his service on the bench, that he would take the risk and order the release of the prisoner on probation.

Rowcll, of the Denmark Times, printed a spec'a; edition containing a write-up of the town's of Bamberg, Blackville, Denmark, Olar, Govan, and Lees. There is considerable work in getting out a paper of this kind, and the work was done entirely by Mr. Rowell with his son and daughters. The issue was well gotten up, and we congratulate our contemporary. In the writeup of Bamberg he has the following to say about this paper: THE BAMBEltC. HERALD. Perhaps the most potential force in the up building and development of any community is the printing office. Here we tind the Herald Printing office contributing its full quota to the business life of Bamberg. This is a thoroughly equipped printing office and it is well worth a visit to seethe presses driven by the small but powerful electro-dynamo. The Bamberg Herald has passed the various vicissitudes of a country newspaper, sthovwroc i\f Mini otherwise. Under the present management of A. W. Knight it as well as all else about the office under his management, seems to be prosjwring. This paper with its bright cheerful face goes forth on its weekly visits to brighten many homes in the county. Tortnred a Witness. Intense suffering was endured by witness T. L. Martin, of Dixie, Ky., before he gave this evidence: "I coughed every night until my throat was nearly raw; then tried Dr. King's New Discovery which gave instant relief. I have used it in my family for fouryears and recommend it as the greatest remedy for coughs, colds and alf throat, chest, and lung troubles. It will stop the worst cough, and not only prevents but absolutely cures consumption." Price 50c and $1.00.! Every bottle guaranteed. Trial bottles free at Dr. J. B. Black's and Thos. Black's.

Beaufort county is the only one in the State where the schools for Negroes received more money than those for whites, the respective ainouts being $7,730.93 and $5,90435. A MIDNIGHT BURIAL. TRUE STORY OF THE FIRST MASONIC FUNERAL IN ARIZONA. Owing: to a Sequence of Peculiar Ineidentw the Ceremony Was Delayed and Was .Not Completed Until the Sun Peeped Over the Hills. The following true narrative of the first Masonic burial in Arizona, as re, lated to me by my old friend. Colonel \Y. M. Williams of Cairo, Ills., will doubtless interest your readers. I give it, as nearly as possible, in his own words: In 18G0 I was in Arizona as superintendent of the St. Louis Mining company, located on the San Pedro river, a short distance west of what is now known as Tombstone and 40 miles east of Fort Iluchanan. On one occasion I made a visit to the Santa Rita mines, located in another part of the territory. These were managed by Cincinnati parties and were l*t\/xw>n irAl??fw1nmnn minno i U UO lilt" JLlClUCAltUiuu Uituvm When I arrived there and introduced ! myself, as none of us had ever met be! fore, I was greeted with that cordial | hospitality known only to those who have lived on the frontier or in mining camps by Mr. II. C. Grosvenor of Cincinnati, the superintendent, with two others who occupied positions at the mines. One of these, Mr. J. T. Mason, I found seriously indisposed; the other I sent to Fort Buchanan to bring Dr. J. B. D. Irwin, surgeon at the post I then devoted ray time to the sick man, who was growing more feeble each hour. lie told me if he died he wanted to be buried with Masonic honors. I had "tried" him and found him to be a bright third degree Mason. I promised to do all I could to carry out his request lie died before morning, and the messenger sent for the doctor had not returned, and it was uncertain as to when, if ever, he might return. As in those days there were not over 05 Americans in the territory outside of the troops, the taking of life by the Indians was daily expected. In this emergency it devolved upon me to arrange for the burial of our friend. I sent peon messengers to Tubac and other places where Americans were known to be to come to my aid. During the day I selected a beautiful spot overshadowed by a large mesquite tree and there had a very deep grave dug, as in that country the coyote is a kind of hyena, that will unearth any corpse if not laid deep in the ground. This work was done by peons, while I stood guard to keep the Indians from surprising us. By midnight the messengers I had sent out commenced returning with the few who could come with them. I found among those who arrived two or three Masons, who. like myself, were "rusty" In the Masonic burial ritual. We opened the trunk of the deceased, hoping to find something to guide us in fulfilling his last request The only thing we discovered was an Episcopal ritual. The following persons composed the funeral cortege: Dr. C. B. Hughes, J. Howard Wells, William S. Oury. H. C. Grosvenor. Colonel Titus. S. Warner and myself. We had determined to bury the body at night in the darkness, having no light except a candle in one of the old time perforated tin lanterns by which I could read the service. After lowering the body into the grave I commenced to read the service. I stood close to the head of the gtave, and Mr. Howard Wells held the lanteru behind me. A rustling sound was heard. It was supposed to come from lurking Indians, and every one looked out for himself. The man holding the lantern dropped it into the grave, and 1 fell in after it. There I was with the corpse in a deep grave. I had my pistols and Sharp's carbine with me, and I realized that if the Indians peered Into the grave 1 could fill it with dead bodies. I listened. Not a sound was heard. My companions had. 1 suppose, secreted themselves and no doubt thought 1 had done the same. After the lapse of about four hours day began to dawn, and as I stood upon the corpse (no cotlins were In use in Arizona at the time of tills occurrence, the dead being simply wrapped in their blankets) and cautiously looked over the brink of the grave to take in the surroundings. I soon saw my comrades, one by one. emerging from behind rocks, where they had hastily secreted themselves, no one knowing where the others were. I called aloud for help and was soon assisted from the prison in 1 had been coufined for fully four hours, and as this is the first Masonic funeral that was ever held in Arizona I think it deserves a record. After comparing notes we discovered that the mesquite tree under which we were holding our solemn service was the roosting place of a colony of crows, our intrusion having disturbed them and thereby causing^ us to stampede. As the sun rose above-the mountain tops we returned to the grave and completed the reading of the ritual and covered our friend with the clods of the valley and left him sleeping where he will rest until the resurrection morn.?Evelyn B. Baldwin In New York Masonic Standard. The World'* Fawlt. "There is one thing I like about you," said the intimate friend, "and that Is your lack of vanity.

On one of the most pleasant side j streets of Cleveland live two dogs?a large, dignified hound and a saucy, small fox terrier. The two are the ' best of friends, and the big dog Is al- 1 ways watching over the little one and doing li'.s best to keep the pert fellow ] out of a fight. But the other day his t watchfulness failed. Another terrier , came and yelled defiance at the hound's comrade, and when the big , dog arrived upon the scene it was to behold a frantic, tumbling, snapping { heap, of which his favorite was part. He seemed to consider the state of I things, then gave a sigh of patient dig- t nity and bogan to walk around the | combatants, keeping a critical eye on < the struggle and evidently acting the 1 part of umpire. His favorite was get- j ting the worst of it. but he did not in- < terfere. Maybe he thought the pun- ( ishment of defeat was better than any ( ho could bestow. He watched silently j till all at once his friend gave a yelp of real pain and. trouble. Then sud- ^ ^""1" !?.-. HI rr ornrvL-o With H t UCillJ IUU UVy, Ulf v??v* ?? ? bound he was beside the other two. I With one tap of his paw he sent the { victor over into the dust, grabbed his 1 favorite in his mouth as a cat grabs ( her kitten and made off to his own j back yard. t During the next hour he licked, scolded and fondled the repentant terrier. And now the two are more devoted i than ever, though the little dog seems ( more meek and decidedly more obodi- J ent than of yore.?Cleveland Plain Dealer. A Falthfnl Dog. Many hundred years ago there lived ! at Athens a dog whose faithfulness ( has caused him to be mentioned In ( history, and in the Grecian city his r story is often repeated. - I The dog guarded one of the heathen ' temples at Athens. One night a thief stole into this building and carried off some of the most valuable treasures. The dog vainly barked his loudest to c frighten the thief and to rouse the A keepers as the man went off with the jewels. But the faithful dog did not mean to lose sight of the rascal, and all through the night he followed him. By daybreak the poor animal had be- A come very weary, but still he kept the 1 robber in sight The hatter tried to 3 feed him, and as he made friends with ji the passersby he took It from them in- < stead. Whenever the thief stopped to . rest the dog remained near him, and n soon a report went through the country of the animal's strange behavior. The keepers of the temple, hearing 1 the story, went in searcn or xne aog, v and they found him still at the heels 1 of the thief at a town called Cronyon. f The robber was arrested, taken back 1 to Athens and there punished. The ^ Judges were so pleased with the dog's t sagacity and faithfulness that they or- = dered him to be fed every day for the rest of his life at the public expense. J Poisonous Effects of Weariness. The eating of "high" game is un- I doubtedly attended with risks, and the poisonous effects are probably due to tl the toxins produced in the earlier ? stages of the putrefactive process. The j advantage, of course, of hanging game t is that the flesh becomes tender and s decidedly more digestible than wheu l it is quite fresh. The ripening proc- (1 ess, however, may mean the eiabora- r tion of toxins. 1 It has been stated that the production of the characteristic flavors of ^ game is related directly to the amount , of sulphuretted hydrogen or sulphur t alcohol set free, but It is rather re- f pulsive to think that the delicate flavor 1 of game is dependent upon that invari- 1 able product of decomposition of rot- 1 ten eggs?sulphuretgd hydrogen. The j smell evolved during cooking of "high" game is even more disgusting. Fresh game sometimes sets up mys- . terious poisonous symptoms which have been attributed to the fact of the Vva /vr^rvtih JiitUJU UiltlU^ UITU U>L"IUUUIVU UUU fatigued. Fatigue products Indeed bave been separated from overbunted game which, when injected into a c healthy animal, have produced marked poisonous effects. There is no doubt C that fatigue products under certain cir- I cumstances are also elaborated in the f human body and give rise to a species ' of self poisoning, characteristic symptoms of which are headache, stupor t and gastric and intestinal pains. The c flesh of overdriven cattle may prove ii poisonous from the same cause.? ^ Lancet ? Hott Weather Works Wonder*. Not the least mysterious of all the ? wonders of the earth is the extraor- ^ dinary cleverness of Dame Nature as ' a carver and designer.

Continuous trickling of water wears away the face of the rock. Haphazard it was until at last a weird pattern is formed that sometimes resem- <? bles a man's face, sometimes an animal. All over the world Nature has placed her picture gallery and her col- p lection of statuary, the biggest free (j show in the world. tl Another work of Nature's that very o often results In extraordinary changes A being effected is a landslip.
