Thursday, May 19, 1904 |; That negro in Charleston who saturated (the clothing of another negro, who was asleep, with kerosene oil and applied a match to it, seems to have been trying to solve the negro problem.

Dr. Poteat, president of Furman university, has commenced a fight against i ! betting on baseball and other games on the univer^ty campus. He has the conf the mavor of Greenville in his efforts to suppress such gambling practices among the students as well as i visitors. Dr. Poteat's undertaking is very commendable and affords a worthy . example for other institutions to follow. "On to Charleston!" is the cry of old and young this week. The reunion of the / old Confederate veterans is in full blast and Charleston is in a blaze of glory. The city's gates have been thrown open to those who bared their bosoms to the invading foe on the field of carnage in defense of their homes and loved ones. Many memories of trials, hardships and campfire incidents are revived this week. Let those brave and honored sons of Carolina enjoy their declining years as they see fit, for one by one they are gradually "passing I I oyer the river to rest under the shade of fo the trees."

Baltimore, May 13.?Of the five "honor men" who received their diplomas at the University of Maryland School of Medicine to-night two were South Carolinians?R. Lewis, of Marion, who won second place, and J. J. Cleckley, of Bamberg, who was fourth. The other three were from Man-land, Pennsylvania and Egypt, the Egyptian being a member of one of the noble families of that country. Dr. Lewis came- within one-fourth of a point of the man who won first honor, and his classmates felt that he was due a medal as well as the first houor man, but he received none. Dr. Cleckley has spent only three years at the university, though the course is one of four years. He studied for a while at Charleston Meuigal j college before entering the University of j Maryland. He was for a while a student | in Wofford college, but gave up bis liter- j ary course in order to pursue the study of medicine. Dr. Vance W. Brabham, of Bamberg, 1 who this year completes his third year, has received several signal honors by his classmates, which are not usually bestowed upon students who are not fourth year men. Among the most important of these was the presidency of the Y. M. C. A. He will complete his course in 190d.? T. H. D. in Columbia State. CUBED OF RHEUMATISM. "My mother has been a sufferer for years with rheumatism," says W. H. Howard, of Husband, Fa. "At times she was unable to move, while at all times walking was painful. I presented her . with a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm and after a few applications she decided it was the most wonderful pain reliever she had ever tried, in fact, she is never without it now and is at all times able to walk. An occasional application of Pain Balm keeps away the pain that she was formerly troubled with." For sale by H. C. Rice, Denmark; Bamberg Pharmacy. A Bright Thought. She was a fair young thing from Boston, with an inquiring mind and having run the blunt old sealing captain into the farthermost corner of the Labrador coasting steamer and cut him off from all means of retreat, she begged of him to tell her of his perilous vocation. "But captain," she asked, "how is it you catch so very many dear little, tiny seals?" "Well, you see," replied the captain, in his husky voice, hesitating as he hunted : for a word other than "females," which he thought objectionable, "you see the ladies pup on the ice." Onr Darling. [Written for The Herald.J Lines affectionately dedicated to my dear children, Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Rey L nolds, on ine aeam 01 meir nine buu, Jennings. Waxen fingers, shining hair, ' Evelids closed with tender care; Lips that almost wear a smile, Though a little pale the while. Full and round and perfect brow? This is all that's left us now, Lying in the casket there, Of our darling one so fair. Though his stay with us was brief, Still it lessens not our grief; His little months numbered only eight, Then angels opened wide the gate, And took our little darling in; Where he is forever free from sin. With no more pain and suffering there Under the loving Saviour's care. Hope, still faithful, comes to bless With her loving tenderness; Points us upward to the sky, Says we'll meet him by and by, Just within the pearly gates; There our precious baby waits, For to him is kindness given, To lead His loved ones up to heaven.
