Dixon at the Colum bia hospital where he has recent ly undergone an operation for abscess on the liver, is giving his friends considerable uneasi ness. ? Mrs. M. M. Graser, accom panied by Mrs. J. J.

Mrs. H. L. Thompson, ac companied by her daughter, Miss 1 Nina, has returned to the land of her adoption from Greenville. While the hills of Greenville are more or less heathery, there is no place like Camden, and so Mrs. Thompson found it. We welcome both of them back most cordially. .Life of Sam Jones. We are in receipt of a copy of the life of Sam Jones, and have partially reviewed it. It was written by his wife, and Rev. Walter Holcomb, a co worker of the deceased evangelist. The contents are extremely interest ing, and the work should have a large sale, especially among all classes of christian workers. The introductory chapter is sigularly beautiful, and will cause the stoutest heart to melt, and to bless God that He created such a woman as Mrs. Jones. Notes Fron Exchanges. A rather costly fire occurred at Greenville on the 13th inst. Loss in the neighborhood of $50, 000 about half covered by in surance. ? ? ? The Thaw trial was inter rupted and postponed on the 14th by the death of the wife of one of the jurors. The case might have proceeded without the pres ence of the bereaved juror, as only one result is expected, i. e. the acquittal of the accused. # * * The Carey-Cothran liquor bill has gone to a committo? of free conference of which Hod. J. G. Richards is a member. Settle the thing, and let us know where we are at. ? ? ? We caught it somewhere that our County Supervisor's salary has been raised $20. As we re marked in a previous edition, "Small favors are thankfully re ceived, and large ones in pro portion." If the job of County Supervisor of Kershaw County is not worth $1,000 per aunum, it is not worth a baubee. ? ? # Ono editor is complaining that somebody sent him a vak?ntine in which it was stated that the sender worvld not be satisfied un til he or she hud the editor's heart. Same hero. We got ono of the same kind, and have been wondering ever since what tho party wauted with it.

Roosvelt is not exactly our style, but lie was dead right in the matter of dismissing those soldiers, Senators Foraker and Tillman to the contrary notwith standing.

Shirley was on his u ly homeward, he was struck in the head with a stick which was sup posed to be in the hand of John Harrell. John says however, that he didn't do it. Mr. Shirley was supposed to have considerable money on his person. H<5 was not seriously injured, and if robbery was'the motive of the attack, the assail ant failed of his purpose. On the same night, John Smith, a colored carpenter of this city was held up by three men at the corner of DeKalb arid Campbell streets and relieved of all his valuables including a sum of money. There is 110 clue to the identity of the robbers. The Limit of Life. The most eminent medical scientists are unanimous in the conclusion that the generally accepted limitation of human life is many years below the at tainment possible with the advanced knowledge of which the race is now possessed. The critical period, that determines its duration, seems to be between 60 aad 60; the proper care of the body during this decade cannot be too strong'y urged; carelessness then being fatal to longevity. Nature's best helper after 60 is Klectrio hitters, the scientific tonic medicine that re vitalizus every organ of the body. Guaranteed by V. Leslie Zemp, Drug gist. 60c. Many Itnllroad Accidents.
