THURSDAY, March 19, 1903. t . a Governor Heyward might break up the * illict sale of whiskey in Charleston by c appointing the blind tiger keepers as dis- i t ^ pensary constables. *** 1 Our people should begin to take some s interest in the approaching city election, t The fact that there is considerable money ? in the city treasury should wake us up. t * * * Chicco evidently knows where the money is. He wants to give up the keeping of a blind tiger in Charleston and 1 take a job as a member of the State board e of directors of the dispensary. ? * * * The city of Greenwood is soon to hold another election on the question of es- ^ tablishing a dispensary there, Greenwood * -being one of the few places in the State 1 which has never had a dispeusary. We v are opposed to the sale of liquor in any J way, shape or form, but we think the c good people who work so hard against a *' dispensary there should be equally as * v active in their efforts to rid the town of blind tigers. If whiskey is to be sold, it ^ is no doubt best to have it sold from dis- v pensaries instead of blind tigers. n * d * * The editor of this newspaper has no F axe to grind in the graded school build- c ing matter, and it does not matter to us * one way or the other, so far as our per 1 ? nAn/^oniori Tf will SOUai luicicsts aic vwuwmvv.. ? ..... uot benefit us only as it does any other r citizen who owns property here and c whose interests are identical with that of I the town. In advocating it we are only s trying to do our duty as we see it, and if j, those whose interest in the town is or v should be far greater than ours are willing c for Bamberg to take a long step backward b by refusing to erect the building, we t surely will not complain. s * C * * We consider it the duty of every citizen to vote for the new graded school building. We must educate the children if we C expect to have an eulighteued citizenship. It is a duty which we owe to ourselves, our town, and our country. We look up- v on the new building as a necessity, and n we have earnestly advocated its erection because we feel the demands upon us as ^ a people. We don't like to pay taxes any k more than other people, but the amount tJ most of us will have to pay will be small, ^ and we will cheerfully contribute to such t] a worthy cause. The tax proposed to he v levied for the school building is three P mills?only $3.00 ou every thousand ? dollars worth of property returned, so tj this will touch a large majority of the y people in the district very lightly. Our b wealthiest citizens, those who own the P s* bank, cotton mill, etc., which will have c to bear the most of the burden, are in b favor of erecting the building. If they h think it wise, surely that is the very best ^ ^^^e^^nce^hat the new building is badly The Cheeky Chieco. b The News and Courier of Saturday ? prints the following account of the re- ? turn to Charleston of Vincent Chicco, fc who had been up to Columbia to have a J talk with Governor Heyward about the blind tiger business. >' Vincent Chicco who went to Columbia , to have a talk with the Governor, returned ^ to Charleston. Saturday he readily consented to tell what happened when he ^ ? braced the governor. According to him , the interview was in part as follows: . ' ?? ?i J ? I* ".NOW, governor, saiu uc, yvu ic a prominent gentleman. And I'm a gentleman, and all the Chiccos are gentlemen. ? Governor, tell me, what are you going to t] do about this matter ? " "There is but one thing to be done, J Chicco," the governor replied in positive tones, "you'll have to quit this business. * It is my duty to enforce the dispensary law." L "But governor, I have got a wife and j many children. I have to support them. I've got to make & living, that's the propo- > sition I'm up against." "Well, you'll have to close your estab- n lishment, Chicco, unless you can make a j living without breaking the law. Promise t me you'll cease violating the dispensary law." a "Governor, I've just told you I'm a j gentleman, and if I was to make that promise I would break it, and then I'd be a liar, and no gentleman is a liar." "Very well, Chicco," replied the governor, decidedly, "you've got to respect the dispensary law or take the consequences." ii "I can't give up my business, governor, a I've got to make a living and I don't 1 know how to do anything else." t "All right, Chicco; you and the consta- \ bles can settle that." e Suddenly Chicco's face lighted up with L hope. "Governor," he whispered, "I've c got-a proposition to make you." c "What is it, Chicco ? " c "I'll quit the blind tiger business if t you'll appoint me a member of the board a of control." 1 What the governor said Chicco refused to divulge. "Pa," said the small boy, "what is the f ghost of a smile?" a "A ghost of a smile," pa sadly replied, s "is something that is found in empty r bottles." i .. , a A New Ntory. g Representative Cushman, of Wastdug- I ton state, told a new story in the Repub- ? lican cloak rooms a few days ago. He c stated that a few years ago the lawyers $ of that state at one of the meetings of the Stale Bar Association gave a banquet to all the lawyers present. "One of the old-timers," said Mr. Cushman, "was on hand from the wilds of c Wahkiagum. He had practiced law in ? the territory when Grant was in the White House. The old fellow wore a J long-tailed, claw-hammer coat, with brass > buttons and other prehistoric raiment. 11 "When he took his seat at the table v there was before him in the center of the 11 table a large silver pudding dish tilled 11 ' with custard, upon the top of which was 1 floating an inviting snow-white frosting. The old gentleman, not recognizing the J conventionalities of the occasion, went a for it like a Dolly Yarden trout for a salmon egg. He reached over the table and pulled the dish gently toward him, J" dipped the silver ladle deep iuto the de- * licious compound, and sucked the ladle * dry with one distinctly audible smack. -v Just as he dipped the ladle in a second ?' time one of the colored w aiters spied him, and harrying up to the old man, whispered in his ear. 44 'Don't eat dat, Mistah.

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP 'ored by One Bottle of Chamberlain's Conffk Remedy. "When I had an attack of the grip last winter (the second one) I actually cured lyself with one bottle of Chamberlain's !ough Remedy,'' says Frank W. Perrv, Iditor of the Enterprise, Shortsville, N. "This is the honest truth, I at times ept from coughing myself to pieces by iking a teaspoonful of this remedy, and rhen the coughing spell would come on t night I would take a dose and it seemed bat in the briefest interval the cough rould pass off and I would go to sleep erfectly free from cough and its accomanying pains. To say that the remedy cted as a most agreeable surprise is puting it very mildly. I had no idea that it rould or could knock out the grip, simply ecause I had never tried it for such a urpose, but it did, and it seemed with the econd attack of coughing the remedy aused it to not only be of less duration, ut the pains were far less severe, and I ad not used the contents of one bottle efore Mr. Grip had bid me adieu.

Lots of Children and No Milk. .1 udgc Eppa Hunton told this story: He was once in Virginia making political speeches ami came to a little town in the mountain region. There was no hotel, and he accepted the invitation of a farmer to have supper and stay all night. Before supper the host told Judge Ilunton that he had just put in a barrel of good whi^ey and offered him a drink. The Judge took the drink and took two or three more. The whiskey was excellent. Two weeks later Judge Hunton got back to the same town. He remembered his friend and went to his house. He was cordially received and invited to supper again. No whiskey was offered. After a time the Judge felt the need of a little stimulant and said: "By the way, that was remarkably fine whiskey you gave me when I was here two weeks ago." "Yes," replied the host, "so it was; but I am sorry to say it's all gone." "What?" said Judge Hunton, astonished. "You don't mean to tell me you have used a barrel of whiskey in two weeks?" "Yes," said the host. "I tell you friend, whiskey don't last long when you have a big family of children and you cau't get any milk."

Powdered sulphur applied daily is a good remedy for mildew on rosebushes. Plants may be grown in comparatively small pots by applying a weak solution of guano. Oregon is said to have a white sunflower which grows wild in some localities in the valleys of the Blue mountains. Cress is the quickest growing of plants. Under perfect conditions it will flower and seed within eight days of planting. A northern aspect for the orchard gives a colder and later soil and retards the blossoming until a later period, thus lessening the danger from spring frosts.

A Famous Woman's Club of a Century or So Akto. About a century ago the seventh heaven of the fashionable world ot London was a club known as Almack's. of which the patronesses were Lady Castlereagh, Lady Jersey, Lady Cowper (afterward Lady Palmer jtonj, Lady Sefton, Mrs. Drummond Burrell (afterward Lady Willoughby), the Princess Esterhazy and the Countess Lieveu. Their smiles or frowns consigned men and women to happiness or despair. It is hard for us to conceive the importance which was attached to getting admission to Almack's. Of the 300 officers of the Foot guards not more than half a dozen were honored with cards to this temple of the beau monde. The government was a pure despotism, as every government by woman is bound to be, and a host of intrigues was set set in motion to get an invitation. Very often persons of rank who had the entree anywhere were excluded from the club. Such as were admitted had to dress in conformity with the edict of the tyrants, no gentleman being allowed to appear at the assemblies except in knee breeches, white cravat and crush hat. On one occasion the I Duke of Wellington was about to ascend the stairs to the ballroom dressed In black trousers when the guardian of the establishment stepped forward and said, "Your grace cannot be admitted In trousers," whereupon the duke, who had a great respect for orders, quietly walked away.?New York Press.

A gentleman present, who had no knowledge of Latin, yet saw what boisterous merriment It caused, secretly determined that he would repeat the whole performance at his next little dinner party at home and give his guests a great laugh at his wit The occasion arrived.

The late Joseph Medill, editor of the Chicago Tribune, besides being an indefatigable editor, had a decided vein of humor in his composition. During the last years of his life, as his strength permitted, he watched over hia paper as zealously as in his younger days, and it was his custom to scan the columns of certain favorite exchanges and clip from them extensively, marking them on the margins, "J.

It was one of his great griefs that there was not always room for all of them, even when col umns of live editorial matter bad been crowded out, as they were sometimes, to make room for them. One night he went up to the room of the night editor with a bundle of clippings in his hand.

An English specialist recommends to adult patients suffering from anaemic condition the daily consumption of eight or ten egg whites. They can be taken clear and with ease If the eggs are kept very cold, broken into a cold glass and used at once.

A HOG'S MOUTH. The Way It Enabled the Animal to Eat Hickory \utn. "People often wonder liow it is that a hog can get all the kernel out of a hickory nut, or any other kind of nut for that matter, without swallowing any of the shell," said a man from the country, "but as a matter of fact there Is nothing mysterious about the process. Mind you, hogs don't swallow any of these harder substances. They get rid of them, and then it is just as easy for them to get rid of the shell of a nut as it is for a man or a squirrel. You might think because a hog crushes the nut into small fragments that he would necessarily swallow a good portion of the hull. But he doesn't do any such thing. "It is a conceded fact among men who know anything about the subject that the horse is the most perfectly constructed animal in the world, considering the purposes for which the horse is used and its method and habits in life. But I want to put in a good word for the hog when it comes to the thing of cracking and eating nuts without getting any of the harder substances into the <atnmnch. The horse has verv fine teeth. The back teeth particularly are finely constructed with a view of enabling the horse to crush its food well before passing it into the stomach. These heavy grinders, heavily set in the horse's jaw, are looked upon as marvels. So they are. "But what's the matter with the teeth of the hog? What's the matter with that marvelous process by which they separate the kernel of the nut from the hull? It has occurred to me that this is no small achievement, and nature is at least entitled to some sort of tribute for her skill in making this result possible. In the first place the hog's tongue is more sensitive than would be supposed, and it can easily detect the harder from the softer substances. By some sort of process the hog is able to work the bits of a hickory nut hull over to the sides of its mouth, the tongue being used for the purpose, and here they are thrown out at the corners. Probably you have noticed that the corners of a hog's mouth are somewhat different from the corners of the mouths of other animals. The lines of the mouth do not end so pointedly, and hence it is a much easier thing for the hog to work the harder substances which he does not care to swallow out through these little openings."?New Orleans Times-Democrat A FEW WHYS. wny ao many employers suy xueir clerks are a stupid lot and unworthy of their consideration?

Chicago Record-Herald. Time In Japan. The Japanese divide the twenty-four hours into twelve periods, of which six belong to the night and six to the day, their day beginning at sunrise and ending at sunset Whether the day or night be long or short there are always six periods in each. To attain this the characters or numerals on the scale are adjustable. Two of them are set one to agree with the sunrise, the other with sunset, and the four characters between them divide the space into equal portions. Thus when the period of daylight Is lopger than the night the day hours will be proportionately longer than those at night Another peculiarity in their scale is that they use only six characters, those from four to nine, and these read backward.?London Express.

Rheumatism, which does its terrible work in the muscles, joints, and tissues, is caused by uric acid which gathers in the blood. To get rid of this poisonous acid which produces the irritations, pains, agonies, inflammations, and swellings peculiar to rheumatism, Paine's ] Celery Compound should be used without delay. No other medicine gives such prompt, cheering, and happy results. It is the only medicine that prevents a return of the dreaded disease. Paine's Celery Compound braces the nerves, the blood is quickly cleared of all irritating poisons, tissue and muscle are built up, and the digestive organs perfectly toned. Do not treat with indifference the slightest rheumatic symptoms; the early use of Paine's Celery Compound will save you weeks and months of suffering. Mr. S. D. Conway, St. Louis, Mo., was permanently cured by Paine's Celery Compound after repeated failures with other medicines and physicians; he says:? "I am 6d vears of ace, and have lived in St. Louis 27 years, and all this time with the exception of three years, I have served in the Engineers' Department as Inspector. Last winter I contracted rheumatism and was laid up. I tried all remedies and doctors, but all failed until I struck Paine's Celery Compound, which has made a permanent cure in my case. I have recommended it to many, and they have used it with the same result." FOB HOME USE AM) ECONOMY , Diamond Me Old Clones Loofclew 1 I lv T /\ Direction book and 45 I m m/ dyed samples free.
