The people of Spartanburg are ad vocating the constitution of a rail road from Spartanburg to Henrietta. But listen at this: They want the people of the whole county taxed to pay for it. What good would it do the people of this section to be taxed for a railroad that they do not need? What good would it do the people of Woodruff to tax them for a railroad that would not touch their territory? If Spartanburg city wants a railroad to Henrietta let her and the people along the line pay for it but do not tax the .vhole people for an enter prise which could only be of benefit to Spartanburg. _* — — A Book for Young Men.

Medical science up to date offers no excuse whatever for the use of alcoholic beverages, uud very little for alcoholic medicines. So rapid has been the ad vance of science since it undertook the serious consideration of the matter that within another year or two we confi dently expect to find the medical pro fession solidly arrayed against its use, except as other dangerous drugs are used in emergencies. When that time comes wo may expect with equal confidence that it will be come deeply and earnestly interested in the discovery and use of moans by which those who have been diseased by its use may be restored to health. It has only been a few years since the chronic dis orders following the use of alcoholic liquors have been classed as diseases, ' and even yet there are a great many medical men who contend that they are not, and therefore not curable by med- , leal treatment. Now that it is conceded that alcoholic ' liquors are directly and indirectly the I most fruitful causes of insanity in its j many forms, ranging from incurable ! melancholy to brief attacks of frenzy, it ought to be apparent to any reasoning ‘ person that the proper and the only ; rational way in which to chock this 1 frightful disease is to remove the cause. Not only does liquor render men in- [ sane for the time being and dangerous while under its influence, but in many i instances the condition becomes chronic, as the records kept by asylums for the insane show. This would be bad enough, but there is a worse phase. The children of those who are afflicted with this terrible nerv ous disorder are apt to inherit defective nervous systems, and are likely to fol low in the footsteps of their parents or become the victims of other forms of nervous disorders, any of which may render them invalids for life.—Banner of Gold.

The great human freak now •’’oing the cities of continental Europop, /or atory to a trip to the United States is a pair of curiously connected Chinese twins named Tiauwasi. The twins are boys, 10 years of ago, and are connected by a piece of flesh almost four inches in diameter, which is attached to each just below bis waist. This connecting ligament is only about nine inches in length and so firm and unyielding that it keeps the brothers continually stand ing face to face. Unlike the arterial bond which connected Chang and Eng, the famous Siamese twins, the Tiauwasi connecting link is solid through and through.—St. Louis Republic.
