I - The Eminent Kidney and Bladder Specialist, Hie Discoverer of Swamp-Root at Work in Els Laboratory. There is a disease prevailing in this country most dangerous because so decep tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by it—heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy a! e often the result of kidney disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Then the richness of the blood—the albumen —leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root the new dis covery is the true specific for kidney, bladder and urinary troubles. It has cured thousands of apparently hopeless cases, after all other efforts have failed. At druggists in fifty-cent and dollar sizes. A sample bottle sent free by mail, also a book telling about Swamp- Root and its wonderful cures. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N.

I<S —iSince 1 wrote you last the twentittli century has opened upon us most pleasantly and minx, indeed, are speculative opin ions that aie corning before the pub lic mind us to what ii will r» Veal to those who u]a> Oe livinu in its close. All learned and thinking men of every sphere in life are calculating for moat wonderful developments in all fields, over which now the minds of men are at work. Science, in ail deparlmerits, promises startling rev elation;,; astronomers, even, propose during this era to convince the world balow that all the beautiful planets above, which constitute our solar system, are all inhabitated. All doubt,, say they, of this fact wl 1 soon be removed. Even they intimate it may be possible to know the kind of inhabitants who live up there. In the field of religion such men as Dr Tdlmage, Dr. (J. T. Russell and Mr. Watson, of our own State, all venture the opinion that the thousand years of Christ's reign on this earth, which is most unmistakably taught in many scriptural passages, will be fully inaugurated during this cen tury. Be all these opinions as they may and whether or not any of these anticipations are realized, one thing we all know, and that is, those of us who are living in this bright morning of this century should be doing all that we possibly can to better our own surroundings and all those with whom we associate in this life us well. We make a mistake if we think to live for ourselves alone. Perhaps this thought today is press ing itself more upon the minds of all cultured and Christian people than any past period of the world’s his tory. Never in all past ages of the world did the young people have a brighter and more inviting future be fore them than now, and we most earnestly hope that they will realize it in time to prepare themselves fully for ail the emergencies that may come. The Arrowood church is a large one, numbering nearly three hundred and fifty members. The house of worship is a splendid one with all the requirements necessary for com fort during hours of worship. Rev. C. M. Teal is again its pastor, having been unanimously called a second time to this office. Just ten years ago he was first called to the pas torate of this church and was retain ed as its pastor for eight consecutive years, voluntarily retiring from it, believing a change would work well for the people he had served so long. But lie has again been recalled and preached his first sermon on Jan (iih, just ten years to a day from the time ho became its pastor the first time Brother Teal needs no further notice from us at this time. The school at this place now has enrolled eighty-three pupils. Miss Ella Hicks, a most efficient young lady for her chances, has been ap pointed an assistant in this school. No better selection could have been made by our worthy trustees. Her manners, modi sty and all ot her char acteristics most agreeably fit her for the duties of this position. It seems, notwithstanding the vig ilance of our people with reference to violations of law, that some of our friends in Cherokee are determin-d to bring reproach upon our couuty. Murder, stock thefts, dog killing on the highways without provocation, and reckless pistol shots are now too common, and most inexcusable of all we hear of some of our neighbors be ing bound over to court for mob law assaults on each other. All these misdemeanors have occurred since our last regular term of court, riureiy the time is upon us when the press and general public sentiment Biould speak out in plain and unmii- tukable denunciation of these uncall ed for misdemeanors. Mr. D. P. L. Martin had killed 188 birds up to the 12th inst. Who can heat that? Mr. Martin greatly k en- joys this sport and is a fine shot. I have just received The Ledger. It is always received and read with great interest. I am delighted to eee that Mr. Butler is soon to introduce a bill in the legislature empowering Cherokee county to build a bridge across Broad river for the benefit of Chero- keeans who live on the other side. This is a very worthy enterprise and we wish our distinguished young representative groat success in pros ecuting this much needed public im provement. L. II D. Dr. I.odi;*' In S|M»rlanburg. [Carolina Spartan.1 Dr. Lee Davis Lodge, of Limestone College, was in the city Monday. He reports that all available room has been taken by boarding pupils, of which they have about one hun dred. He has prepared several other chambers for applicants who will ar rive in Ftbruary. Arrangements have been made for the beginning of work on the "Winnie Davis Halt of His tory" at an early day. It will cost !jil2 000. Limestone introle will en ter largely into the structure. That, when completed, will form a very im portant and attractive feature of this popular institution.

(Correspondence of The Ledger. 1 Bash Texas, Jan. 20—Dear Editor: I know you will bo somewhat sur prised to get a letter from a Texas girl. Yes, I say Texas, but claim old S' uth Carolina as my native state. I le.t there and came here when I whs quite a child. Most all of my relatives live here. I have one uncle, Capt E. G. Littlejohn. Omen, Texa j , and one cousin, Fayte Smith, Glade- water, Textts. They and their fami lies ate about all the relatives I have in Texas. We are having some very change able weather now. Have not had any very bad weather yet. Some of the farmers are getting ready to plant oats. Some planted in the fall and their crops are now looking well. This is a fine farming and fruit growing section. We can raise anything on the farm here that can grow in this climate. Crops here last year were generally fine. Some are not through picking cotton yet. The raising of fruits and vegetables in this country cannot be surpassed in any other section. Some of our truck farmers have strawberries now, and say they could gather several crates East Texas is moving to the front in having good schools and colleges for the education of the young. The Baptists have a fine college at Jack sonville, Texas, with Rev. J. V. Ver million as principal, assisted by an able corps of teachers. The Metho dists have a college at the same place. We have the district system in several counties and think it much better than any other. We have two families who live near here, Wm. Godfrey and Abe Estes, who came from near Gaffney. They are both successful farmers in this section. I would be glad to hear from some of the cousins there. More anon, Fannie Wilkins. □ Changeii Suggegted by Penolon Board. At the recent meeting of the County Tension Board held in the court house at this place, the follow ing suggestions in regard to changes in the pension law were made and sent Hon. T. B. Butler iu Columbia, to be acted upon by the legislature: In Sec. 4 (d.add the words,"or any other cause,” after the sentence, "and who are totally disabled by paralysis;” that distinction be made between pensioners who served only a few months in the State reserves and those who were in the regular army and served during the whole or principal part of the war. Also, that No. 2 of the rules adopted by the State Board be re pealed or abolished, and where it is impossible to get witnesses who are not applicants for pensioners, that pensioners or applicants may be taken as witnesses. Also, that the pay of the members of the County Board be increased to $8.00 a day, and that of the exam'm* trig physician to $5 00. Also, that no Confederate soldier who has become a pauper shall be required to go to the poor house, but shall receive his allowance from the county at his home. It is hoped that for the sake of the pensioners that the legislature will grant these changes, as the pensions ar<? small enough without all this trouble in getting them. ratrloUc Li in ei tune. [The State. J At Limestone College one actually breathes the air of Southern pat riotism. The Winne Davis School of History, established under the direc tion of Dr. Lee Davis Lodge, will no doubt do much toward the promotion of Southern literature. The college was visited on Lee’s birthday by the Camp Jake Carpen ter, U. C. V. There wer* some inter esting exercises in the college audi torium, and a number M town people were present. Prof. H. P. Griffith was speaker of the occasion, and as he went on in his talk touching here and there an incident of his own experi ence, telling again of the heroism and bravery of our soldiers, the listeners followed him with eager attention and interest. He spoke more espec ially v of Lee’s men, and of their i. arked characteristic—cheerfulness. He reminded us of the injustice which history has done to the South, and made us see the responsibility of rais ing the veil of oblivion which rests on the glorious past of the south. A Prominent Chicago Woman Speaks. Prof. Roxa Tyler, of Chicago, Vice- President Illinois Woman’s Alliance, in speaking of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, says: "I suffered with a severe cold this winter which threat ened to run into pneumonia. I tried different remedies but I seemed to grow worse and the medicine npset my stomach. A friend advised me to try Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and I found it was pleasant to take and it relieved me at occe. I am now entirely recovered, saved a doctor’s bill, time and suffering, and I will never bo without this splendid medicine again.” For sale by Chero kee Drug Co.
