Rice came back from Augusta on Saturday. We think Prof. J. A. Wiggins will remain with us another year. He and his lovely wife and sweet little tots would be sadly missed if they were to be seen no more among the Danes, For eight years he has wrought faithfully and well, and we believe the people generally would like to try him another year. Then we should be glad to havethose excellent teachers: the faithfnl Miss Leland, the patient Miss Reaves, the charming Miss Flenniken, the brilliant Miss Southard, the accomplished Miss Nance and last but by no means least the lovely Miss Leach.

The child was a little more than a year old, and it was found that death was caused by a dose of corrosive sublimate. The child's reputed father is a man named Parker, and its mother is dead. It had been kept by an aunt, JosieEngland, who lives out in* what is locally known as ''Yamville." She testified that the child was sick and on Sunday she sent down to the drug store for some calomel to give it. She did not give it until Tuesday morning, and as soon as she did so the child screamed and gasped for breath so that she knew something must be wroug, so she aud the negro nursed hurried down town with the child at once to see a doctor. They brought the little sufferer to Dr. Hoover's office, which is next door to The Herald, but he was not in. Then Dt. Black and Dr. Bronson were sent for, but neither one came, as the child was dead before they could arrive. The womau cried and seemed very much affected, saying that she had killed her child, evidently believing that the medicine administered produced death. As thechild died down town, the matter was known of by a great many people, and in view of the above facts Magistrate Lightsey concluded to hold an inquest at the request of Josie England. Several witnesses were examined, and the jury finally rendered a verdict that the child came to its death by a drug administered by Josie England. She never denied giving it the drug, but said she thought it was calomel. The drug clerk from whom Parker claimed to have gotten this stuff testified that he did sell 011 Sunday to a white cotton mill hand five cents worth of calomel and he knew he had sold calomel and not corrosive sublimate; that he had been in the store only a few weeks and did not know where this poison was kept, as he had 110 call for it; that after this affair he had found out it w as kept in the front part of the store and he had put up the calomel at the prescription case in back of store. Parker testified that the package shown at the inquest contained the same medicine he had bought on Sunday from the drug clerk, aud that he asked for and thought he was getting calomel. * He also said the child was illegimafe, although he had kept it until the mother died, and had since helped to support it. Dr. H. F. Hoover, a disinterested physician, testified that he had casually examined a package of medicine on Tuesday which was said to be the same from which the child had been dosed. Parker brought it to his office. That he compared it with calomel by sight, touch and taste and told the mau he thought from this superficial examination that it was calomel. He did not test it chemically. That the medicine exhibited at the iuquest was not the same shown him Tuesday, but it was in the same envelope. The proprietor of the drug store testified as to the place where corrosive sublimate was kept in the store, aud that all persons purchasing it or other poisons were required to register as required by law\ The stuff exhibited at the inquest was examined by several physicians and found to be the poison mentioned above, and Dr. Baggott, who examined the child, testified that the dose administered caused its death. The jury returned a simple verdict, not saying whether the drug was ofMTiin Ktt micfolro nr rvt V???r\x*iC?> Thp mftftpr kJJ lUlOIKIUV VI WUVi VV tuv. * uv it?Mvvv? is being further investigated, and there may be later developments.

How many murders are directly tracable to whiskey drinking and the dispensary and what an expense are the trials of the murderers to the county! Lest you forget, I remind you that the blood of J.^B. King, Willie Grimes, Heape, of Branchville, and the colored shoemaker, of recent times, to say nothing of the long red list of the past, cries out from the ground against this insult to the truth.

The Company which Mr. Perkins represents made its first public offering of stock in January, and so many subscriptions have been received that a great deal of the equipment for the mine has been purchased and prepared for shipment as soon as the way is opened for travel. It is estimated that fully three millions of dollars of machinery and equipment is now on the way to Thunder Mountain for various companies. One of the companies sold stock a year ago at 50 cents a share and now it is not to be bought for $8.00 per share. Thirty other mines are opened ana are getting into richer ore every day. The property which this Company owns is second to none in the district, and the more one learns about it and its officers the greater tho desire becomes to own some of its stock.

"I saw to tnis day i can laugn as nearuiy as me youngest of my grandchildren. I am good for some more years, and I scarcely feel my age. My vigorous constitution and remarkable freedom from disease is due to the daily use for many years of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. Though I am past 104 years of age, I feel as young and hearty as forty years ago. I weigh 175 pounds, my appetite is good, and I still do all the chores. I cannot say too much in favor of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, which is indeed a blessing to old people and invalids. I know it has prolonged my life many years." Mr. Bullock's wife died twenty years ago, and he is living with one of his grandchildren. Sixty-flve grandchildren are married, and they are all strong and healthy. His descendants who live in Fort Hamilton, Brooklyn and Manhattan are the McDonald, Watts, Hurst, Bullock and Clark families. The health and vigor of Mr. Bullock's children and grandchildren show that their father thought of his descendants and kept nis constitution strong and vigorous with a pure stimulant and tonic, leaving all kinds h a woman; she should keep herself healthy ept their constitutions strong and free from hildren. It is an easy matter to keep the g Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, the only abis free from fusel oil and other dangerous patent medicines and drugs, to that of Mr. Bullock's, and if every one :ted. the average life would be prolonged at millions in the last 50 years-.

"After my first baby was born I did not seem to*regain my strength although the doctor gave me a tonic which he considered very superior, but instead of getting better I grew weaker every day. My husband insisted that 1 take Wine of Cardui for a week and see what it would do for me. 1 did take the medicine and was very grateful to find my strength and health slowly returning. In two weeks I was out of bed and in a month I was able Jo take up "y usual duties. 1 am very enthusiastic in its praise." Wine of Cardui reinforces the organs of generation for the ordeal of pregnancy and childbirth. It prevents miscarriage. No woman who takes W ine of Caraui need fear the coming of her child. If Mrs. Unrath had taken Wine of Cardui before her baby came she would not have been weakened as she was. Her rapid recovery should commend this great remedy to every expectant mother. Wine of Cardui regulates the menstrual flow. lwiNE?fCABPU[ RllfroiPSand Watrnns vu&b'uu vv u^vi,v We have received one carload of ANCHOR BUGGIES.
