On August 30, ’08. I contracted cold and developed Grippe and was laid up fiive weeks. My bronchial tubes were badly af fected. which caused me to cough continually and prevented my sleeping at night. I tried all the old remedies which usually gave me relief but failed. Johnson’s Chill and Fever Tonic was recommended to me as a guaranteed cure for grippe and colds and 1 was pursuaded to try it. After taking it according to directions for one week, I found myself entirely cured of my cold and grip|K\ and my sys tem in first-class condition. I regard it one of the best medi cines I have ever used ir my family and can cheerfully recom mend it to anyone suffering from a like trouble or general debilitated system. H. G.

ENUMERATORS’ RATES CENSUS DIRECTOR DURAND —UStlES A CLASS1F4CAI10N OF THL CENSUS TAKERS. the per diem, there are five subclas ses alphabetically arranged, and the per diem is: ('lass F. $1; G. $1.2.'). H. ESTAB I, Sl.Ta; and J. $2. For each inhabitant the pav he Class F :* Washington. I). C. January 22. The varying w age scales in different parts of the country and the differ ences in the nature and extent of tho-local ilifficulties confronting the enumerators in the larger goog- rahica! divisions of the United States have influenced and guided United States Census Director Durand in the adoption of a classifi cation of enumerators’ rates of com. pensation. within the limits prescrib ed by the United States Census law enacted by Congress. The different classes of rates will be so applied that in general the average enumerator will earn sub stantially the same actual amount in one district as in another, even though the population may be much sparser in one than in the other, with other conditions also different. Regard is paid to tfte fact that prevailing wages and salaries are higher in some parts of the country than in others, but, as.de from this, the Director’s aim is to adjust the rates so as to. make the earnings' of enumerators substantially uniform. Where ihe per capita rates would not give sufficient pay, the per diem rates are prescribed. The rates in general will bo so adjusted as to give a slightly higher average amount to the enumerators than they received in 1900. Per diem rates of pay will be paid to the census enumerators in the sparsely settled rural districts of Arizona. California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Texas, Utah, Washington, and W yoming. The rate w ill range from $5 to $6 per dav for the enumeration of the rural areas outside of cities and towns. Six dollars is the highest rate authorized by law. The Director realizes that in many distnets of the far West it will be impossible to secure competent men to act as enumerators at a rate of compensation less than that being paid for ordinary classes of work in tile same area. Were enumerators in such districts paid only on the per (Japita basis, their compensation would be unreasonably low’. The enumerators in the thinly in habited countrs sections of North Dakota. South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas also will Ik* com|K*nsated on a per diem basis. Certain ditli-j cult or sparse!; settled enumeration districts in o'her states will be in- cluded among those to which the per diem rates will apply, as the conditioi - of the enumeration will be such that an enumeiator could i i not make lair earnings at any of the ( per ca >ita rates established. Thi-. announcement was made by . Census Director Durand to-day, in order to counteract the deterrent effect tipon applications for enumer ators’ places in the far West and Southwest states of the w idely cir culated and erioneous statement that per capita rates of pay were to be given in the sparsely populated regions named. THE CLASSIFICATION OF RATES. In this connection the Director has issued to the census supervisors a detailed statement of the classifi cation of rates adopted for the com pensation of enumerators in the Thirteenth Census, commencing April 15 next. There are three general rates— the per capita, the mixed, and the per diem. The first and second general rates have five subdivisions each. The |>er diem rates range from $3 to $3.50, $4. $4.50, $5, $5.50, and $6, and are to be paid for a day of eight hours’ work. For enumerators on the per capita basis, which will be that most widely used, the pav for each inhabitant is. Class A. 2 cents; class B, 2i cents; class C, 3 cents; class D, 3A cents; cents; G. 2A cents; H, 2A cents; I, 2* cents; dnd .1,3 cents. For each farm; Class F. 15 cents; (i. 17£ cents; H, 17* cents; I and .1. 20 cents each. For each establishment uf productive in dustry the rate is 20 cents for each 0 class. -— • • — RUFFIN NEWS ITEMS. .. Ruffin, Jan. 22.

I can scarcely express in words my pleasure derived from the meeting of my friends in Colle ton. It seems ages instead of months since I left them all. but my hours of loneliness during my absence are doubly compensated for by my cor dial welcome at home.

YOUNG HARRISON ATTACKED NEAR GARTER S FORD. Smoaks, Jan. 18. Special:- While on his way home from Lodge with a load of freight at about 1 o’clock. January 15, Zarkey Harrison, young est son of J. Z. Harrison, was at tacked at the foot of Red Hill, near Carter’s Ford church, by an unknown man, who was disguised by wearing a shawl over his face and gloves on his hands. The man jumped from the bushes and caught hold of the wagon. He told the boy to stop, but instead he put whip to the horse. He then caught the boy aud started to cut his throat, l»ut he threw up his left hand, causing the knife to go through it instead. J. Z. Harrison and C. H. Smith tracked his assailant through ih? fields by way of Colleton down to Williams. Finally they secured Mr. Ryon’s bloodhounds and took them to the scene about 10:30 o’clock at night The dogs trail.d the man and class E, 4 cent*.

For each bam and inclosure containmg live stock, not on farms, the pay is 10 cents for each class.
