Joseph N. Brown before the R. E. Lee Chapter, Daughters of the Confederacy, on McGowan’s brigade at the “Bloody Angle” on the 12th of May 1861. Col. Brown has made a valuable contribution in this paper to the history of the civil war. His memory for details is remarkably accurate, and as he was in command of the brigade at the time and directed all of its movements, his description of the battle has all the force and validity of an official report. He gives us a picture of it now, thirty- six years after that awful event, which is fresh and vivid in its color ing, and terribly minute in its horri ble details. For unconquerable pluck, for heroic endurance, for fierce fighting to the death, there was no other battle of the great war that furnished a paral lel to McGowan’s brigade at the Bloody Angle. It held it for seven teen hours against a storm of bullets from three directions, and abandoned it at last only when it was ordered to move to a more advantageous posi tion. Col. Brown says that the night was without a moon and was made intensely dark by a drizzling rain and the men could have left the lines unobserved at any time. Yet they remained all night,though every foot of ground they stood upon seemed to be swept by the enemies balls. As the men fell in their places others from the right kept moving in to replenish the lines, and thus the work of death went on through all the long dreary hours of that dark and terrible night. Trees eighteen inches in diameter were cut down by minnie balls. We have seen the stump of one of these trees in the Smithsonian Institution, Wash ington, where it is kept as one of the most vivid relics of that cruel and horrible war. This paper will be put up in pam phlet form, and we hope that a suffi cient number of copies will be issued to give it a wide circulation. The Winnie Davis School of History of Limestone College will prize it as one of the most valuable of all its historical collections. While the reading of Col. Brown’s thrilling description has awakened in us a feeling of pride that we were born in the Palmetto State and bore a humble share of the hardships and •dangers of war with McGowan’s bri gade, yet at the same time it has brought a pang of sorrow to the heart for the hundreds of heroic men who were sacrificed in the Bloody Angle; for at this distance of time it looks like the sacrifice was unnecessary and might have been avoided. There will never be author eucb a battle on this continent, as there had never been another such a one before it. Be sides the changes that have been and will be made in modes of warfare, there will never come a time again when any body of men will be so nerved to deeds of desperation—so in spired with deathless devotion—as the men who Md that bloody angle for seventeen hours against a deter mined and persistent foe who con etantly assailed them with ten times their numbers. Exposition. That, we take it, se cures the exposition against all chance of failure, and the people may begin to get ready for the biggest thing that ever took place in our State. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Character is at a premium in North Carolina, In the case of Rev. Mr. Gattis against Dr. John C. Kilgo, President of Trinity College, for slan der, the jury returned a verdict of $20,000 damages in favor of the plain tiff. Most men in this State would let another say what he pleased about them for less money than $20,- 000. In fact, for ten years in this State we have all been saying what we pleased about one another and it hasn’t cost a cent. Dr. Kilgo hud better come back to South Carolina. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ President McKinley’s message was too much for us to read, and not having read it we beg to be excused from expressing an opinion concern ing it. The country has been turned over to him and his party for four years longer, and we hope that the few democrats in congress will not attempt to obstruct republican legis lation. Let the republicans do us they please and let them bear all the responsibility of their measures. That is the surest way of curtailing their power. The Nicaraguan Canal is going iff boJjrSflTTT’^^TresTdent recommends it and the country is about ready to take hold of it. The committee re ports that it will cost over two hun dred millions of dollars, but that will never discourage this great country. It will spend fur more chan that amount in trying to conquer and hold some islands in the Pacific that will at best be a source of more trouble than profit. The canal will soon save billions to the world ai d its construction will be a triumph of peace worthy of a great and enlight ened nation. ♦ ♦ The cash in our State treasury is said to bo running low. Treasurer Timmerman says that it is much lower than it was at this time last year. Two reasons are assigned for this. One is the larger appropria tions and the other is the tardiness of tax payers this fall in plunking down their cash. Tne time has been extended so often that large tax payers are encouraged to hold back. But the State will get your money, gentlemen, and don’t you forget it; and our legislators will come to gether in January with many fresh schemes for spending it. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Few of our colored c'tizens know of the work that Rev. Richard Car- roll is doing for their race. The last issue of the Baptist Courier contained a detailed account of his “Rescue School” near Columbia, written by Jas. A. Hoyt, Jr., which our colored friends who have the progress of their race at heart ought to read. Carroll is attempting great things for his people, and he is meeting with as much success as perhaps under the circumstances could bo expected. We should be glad if some of our leading colored citizens would invite him to Gaffney and give him a chance to lay his plans before them. He takes up no collections and does not personally handle the money with which he operates. ♦ •♦ ♦ ♦ Our highly esteemed contemporary and neighbor, the Spartanburg Jour nal, has been unconsciously furnish ing its thoughtful, attentive readers some rare amusement, to be enjoyed in silence. A week or two ago it had a pointed, sensible, and well written editorial on ' Overworked Platitudes.” We commented on the article at the time and expressed the hope that the Journal would now be true to its own teachings and set us an example of how to get along without loading everybody down wijth fulsome, un meaning compliments. In its issue of last Thursday it had nearly two columns devoted to some entertain ments given in the town, and those two columns would make the man who invented complimentary plati tudes ashamed of himself. Only an expert of long practice could have got them all in and fitted them together in a style of such exquisite joinery. We imagine that the ladies who read descriptions of themselves in that issue of the Journal wondered if they had not just awakened frnv a delight ful trance, and that they had to pinch themselves before they could be sure that they were flesh and blood and sojourning in a land of realities. We shall await with some anxiety further performances of the Hpartan- burg Journal in decorating tho social life of Hpartanburg. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. NOTES AND COMMENT'*.

One of her worst troubles was chronic constipa tion of several years’ standing. She also suffered with general debility jind paroxysms—sometimes as often as six or eight times a day. At this time she was passing th rough that most critical period in the life of woman—change of life. “In June, 1895,1 wrote to you about her case. Ton advised a course of Pe- ru-na and Mau-a-lin, which we at once commenced, and have to say it has com pletely cured her. She firmly believes that she would have been dead only for these wonderful remedies. “About tho same time I wrote you about my own caso of catarrh, which was of 25 years’ standing, and at times I was almost past going. I commenced using Pe-ru na according to your in structions, and continued its use for alxmt a year, and it has completely cured mo. “I have to say that your remedies do all you claim for them, and even more. Catarrh cannot exist where Pe-ru-ua is taken according to directions. Mau-a- lin is a most wonderful medicine for chronic constipation.” Mr. A. F. Stern, Marino City, Mich., writes: “I was troubled with catarrh for three years, and tried almost every catarrh medicine I heard of. I went down to Dela ware, O., to at tend college, where I got one of your Alma nacs, and saw Mr. A. P. Stern. another remedy for catarrh. I was almost discouraged with trying all kinds of medicine, but my room-mate told me that your medicine was all right, and so I tried it. After taking seven bottles according to directions, I was cured and felt like a now man. I recommend it to all who are suffering with this dreadful disease. It is tiie best medicine for catarrh. I owe my health to you.” Mrs. J, A. Bashor, Knoxville, Tenn., writes: “My health was completely bro ken down and had been for almost a year. I could not rest day or night, but suffered constantly untold misery. Tried remedy after remedy, but found nn relief until Pe-ru-na wau recow- today well and hearty. I shall always praise Pe-ru-na, for I feel it saved my life.” Mr. J. W. Draper, Gainsboro, Tenn., writes: “For many years I had been a continual sufferer from that dreadful disease, ch ronic< catarrh. I gave up Jiopes of ever being relieved. I tried every remedy my friends recom mended, but all in vain. Finally I took my bed. My friends had all given mo up Mr. J. W. Draper, to die, believing mo to be in the lasl stages of consumption. Having a bottle of Pe-ru-na in the room, I began to take it, and in a few days felt so well that I got up. I continued it, improving all tho time, until I am now almost a sound man. Can do as hard a day’s work as almost any man. This happened foul years ago.” Mrs. Rachel A. Magaw, C7 West Jef ferson street, Springfield, O., writes!' “Your Pe-ru-na la worth its weight in gold. I feel like • •V; 2$ new woman. I can’t praise it enough. I |Spentagreatdeal of money on doc tors, but nothing evef did me any good until I sent to you and tried your Pe-ru-na. I „ now feel well of Mrs. Kuchcl A. Magaw. tho catarrhi bn , I shall never be without Pe-ru-na, and shall toll all I seo to try It, for I know it to bo a sure cure for catarrh. I can’t praise it enough for what It has done for me.” Catarrh is an American disease. Fully one-half of the people arc afflicted more or less with it in some form. Previous to the d iscovery of Po-ru-na, catarrh was considered well-nigh incurable. Since the introduction of Pe-rn-na to the medi cal profession thousands of cases are cured annually. By aid of Dr. Hartman’s free books and free correspondence a multitude of hopeless people are permanently cured of tiiis most loathsome and stubborn disease every year. Anyone afflicted with catarrh should write Dr. Hartman, Columbus, O. Ask for free books or frM advice, whichever you most need. J, I).
