One would naturally and reasonably suppose that the assembled wisdom of South Carolina politicians could frame an ordinary appropriation bill carrying $50,000, in buch a way that the select wisdom of the Attorney General and the judges of the supreme court could not breathe upon it and cause it to vanish into impalpable nothingness. But this is exactly what has happened to the bill ap propriating $50,000 additional Con federate pensions, which passed the last legislature with so much enthu siasm. The judges have declared it to be an appropriation that appro priates nothing—the clattering of a mill that has no corn in the hopper— the buzzing of a frame of spindles with no cotton on the spools. The veterans must wait for their extra pensions, as they used to wait for their extra rations and tighten their belts to supply by compression what was lacking in internal expansion. The extra rations often got mixed up with contingencies and disappeared, and it is more than probable that this extra appropriation will grow small by degrees and beautifulTy less until it, too, will be heard of no more. Another unique revelation of legis lature blundering comes to the sur face in Charleston. The old city sud denly finds herself in a county that has no legal existence, no county laws, no county officers, and worst of all, no legal dispensaries to dispense the chemically pure liquids to a thirsty and long suffering population. But Charleston has no idea of perish ing by neglect—not at least until after her great exposition is over. If com mon report be true she has a whole menagerie of fierce animals without eyes, whose instincts are true to the interests of the city, and she will turn these loose to administer to the life, health, and amusement of her people as well as to the entertain ment of ell comers. Talk about biennial sessions of the legislature! Better havs semi-an nual ones in order that each session may rectify the blunders of its pre decessors. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The State of Kansas will need 20,- 000 men from beyond her borders to help harvest her wheat crop. South Carolina could spare the number dur ing harvest week and get her own crop gathered and threshed in good time. The inference is self-suggest ive. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The rains have at last come in abundance and the hearts of farmers and gardeners are made to rejoice. The oat crop will be immensely bene- fitted while corn and cotton will be up where the stand was poor, and potato slips and cabbage plants will come from the beds by thousands and take their places in the patches and gardens. Perhaps of all the crops raised in this latitude, wheat alone will receive not only no bene fit from the rains but a positive in jury. Our observation has been that rains upon it when it is in bloom work decided barm to the crop. ♦ ■♦ ♦ ♦ The whole country will rejoice to bear that Mrs. McKinley is able to sit up and is considered out of dan- frer. When it was announced that she was dying there was a tbriil of sympathy from one side of this con tinent to the other, and everybody forgot politics for the moment and felt for the president as for a man and a brother. At ordinary times there seems to be an impaseab!e gulf between the obscure citizen and the chief executive of a great nation, but in the face of death all distinc tions vanish, and the greatest men of earth sink to the common level of humanity. Sermon to Odd Fellow*. Sunday night services at the Second Baptist church will include a special sermon by Mr. Ford, the pastor, in the Interest of Odd Fellows.

Mu*t He lion* Through With Heforc the Money Can He Serured—Advlce In Regard- to Condition* Under Which Rebate Is Ulven—Act of March 2. 1UU1. There will be considerable money coming back to the cigar and tobacco dealers in this State in view of the changes in the revenue law after the 1st of July. The Government uses a great deal of red tape which is necessary for protection, before the rebate can be secured. The col lector’s office is anxious for everyone entitled to any rebate to get it, and in order that those intersted may familiarize thems* Ives with the con ditions on which the rebate may be had the following advice is given : The Act of March 2, 1901, provides for a rebate of taxes as follows: On smoking and chewing tobacco and snuff, two and four-tenths cents per pound. On cigars weighing over three pounds to the thousand, sixty cents per thousand. On cigars weighing less than three pounds to the thousand, forty-six cents per thousand. This rebate will be due and payable to all dealers and manufacturers whose claim, in the aggregate, will amount to at least ten dollars, and no claim for less than ten dollars will be considered. ' It is necessary in order to make a valid claim that the following infor mation be observed: At the beginning of business on the morning of July 1, 1901, the dealer or manufacturer must, in the presence of two disinterested wit nesses, well known in the community as persons of good repute, and who are not in bis employ, make together an inventory of ail tobacco, snuff and cigars which he may have in un broken orginal factory packages. If a box, bag or caddy, or other package bears evidence of having been opened and repacked, the contents thereof shall not be inventoried unless the witnesses are satisfied that no tobac co, snuff or cigars originally packed therein had been removed therefrom and other goods substituted therefor. Tne actual weight of the contents of any box, bag or cadrty, or other stamped package should correspond with the stamp. No addition to the stock thxll be made and no adjournment of the witnesses anddaimant shall inter vene between the commencement and complttim of inventory. The serial numbers of stamps affixed to packages will not be requir ed to be given in the inventory. Packages -of to'jaccp, snuff acd cigars will be inventoried accordirg to their several statutory classifica tions. The witnesses at the time of taking the inventory should each count the packages oi the several denomi nations and keep an accurate account of the same on separate sheets cf paper. The computations to be made by the witnesses of the total number of such packages and their aggregate net weight should be compared and checked with the dealers’ or man ufacturers’ inventory, and if agree ing therewith should be signed by the witnesses and the claimant and delivered to him as a memorandum of bis inventory, and from which he could make a new claim should bis original claim be lost or misplaced. Each claim must be duly signed and sworn to by the claimant in the presence of bis witnesses who will, in his presence acd in the presence of each other, duly sign and make affidavit to such claim as attesting witnesses. The notary administering the oath should have a seal, or send a certi ficate from the clerk of the Court or Secretary of State that be is duly commissioned and is qualified to administer oaths. The claim as signed and sworn to before the officer administering the oath shall be immediately forwarded by him under seal to the collector of internal reyenue for the district of South Carolina at Columbia, S. C., if claimant is resident ic the State of South Carolina^ When tobacco, snuff or cigars are held by a commission merchant claim for the rebate may be made by such merchant for and in the came of the actual owner. Goods in transit on July 1, 1901, shall not be inventoried either by consigner or consignee on that date, but when such goods are received by the consignee he may make a separate claim|for the rebate on form No. 41 in the presence of two witnesses as be fore described. The claimant shall exhibit to the witnesses copy of bill of lading and original invoice and these papers must be filed with claim made for such soods to transit. Air persons in South Carolina who expect to have sufficient stock on hand on July 1, 1901, to make a claim of ten dollars, should at once write the collector of internal reve nue, Columbia, 8. C., notifying him of the fact and asking for blank forms. Only a sufficient cumber of forms will be furnished and persons apply ing tor them should be careful not to lose them, as the supply may be exhausted. The names of all persons to whom blanks sre msiled will be recorded in the collector’s office. Persons writing the collector should give their names and postoffices legibly. Every manufacturer and dealer in the State whose claim for rebate of taxes will amount to ten dollars or more wilt be furnished, upon appli cation, with >k copy of form 481 be fore July 1, ityl. It should bs borne in cuiod that no iiiisfiian nasMiw^ae—aa—wiss i , mu i it fllaiM ean be valid unlsai the following elements are present: First. The claim must bo made on blank form furnished by the collector. Second. There must be two dis interested witnesses. Third. These witnesses must meet the dealer on July 1, 1901, in the morning, at his place of business or where his tobacco is stored, at the commencement of the business day and must complete the inventory of stock without adjournment. Fourth. The witnesses must sign the claim before a competent officer, who shall attach his seal to the instrument, or, if he has no seal, a certificate from the clerk of Court or Secretary of State that be is duly authorized to administer oaths. Fifth. The claim must amount to at least ten dollars. If any dealer wishes further infor mation upon any point his inquiry addressed to the collector will be promptly answered. Hi* Nose Itrukcn. Little Beb Gaines, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Gaines, met with an acci dent yesterday which was of a pain ful nature. Some b >j s were passing a ball in the alley between the stir^s of It. A. Jones & Co., and Dr. 8. B Crawley & Co., and just as the hoy nearest the street missed catching the ball Pep passed and was struck on the nose with ku:h force &< to break that member. Medical atten tion was given the little fellow at once, and while the w und is a very painful and disagreeable one, Bep's many friends hope that his face will not be disfigured. The throwing of balls or anything else should not be allowed so near the streets of the city. Try the new remedy for costiver.ess, Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets. Every box guaranteed.

It is customary to sneak of Catarrh as nothing more serious titan a bad cold, a simple inflammation of the nose and throat. It is, in fact, n complicated and very dangerous disease ; if not at first, it very soon becomes so. The blood is quickly contaminated bj the foul secretions, and the poison througit the general circulation is carried to all parts of the system. Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis factory and disappointing, because they dc not reach the seat of the trouble. S. S. S. docs. It cleanses the blood of the poison and eliminates from the system all catar rhal secretions, and thus cures thoroughly and permanently the worst cases. Mr. T.*A. William*, a leading dry-goods mer cliant of Spartanburg, S.

Mrs. Thankful Orilla Hurd lives in the beautiful village of Brighton, Livingston Co., Mich. This venerable and highly respected lady was born la tbe year 1812, the year of the great war, In Hebron, Washington Co., New York. 8be came to Michigan In 1840, the year of “Tippecanoe and Tyler too.” All her faculties are excellently preserved, and possessing a very re tentive memory, her mind is full of interesting reminiscences of her early life, of tbe early days of the State of Michigan and the Interesting and re markable people she has met, and the stirring events of which she was a wit ness. But nothing In her varied and manifold recollections are more mar velous and worthy of attention than are her experiences in the use of JOHNSTON’S SARSAPARILLA. Mrs. Hurd Inherited a tendency and pre disposition to scrofula, that terribly destructive blood taint which has curwed and is cursing the lives of thousands and marking thousands more aa vic tims of the death angel.. Transmitted from generation to generation, It la found In neary every family in one form or another. It may make its ap pearance in dreadful running sores, in unsightly swellings In the neck or goitre, or in eruptions of varied forms. Attacking tbe mucous membrane, It may be known as catarrh Id tbe head, or developing in the lungs It may be, and often Is, the miate cause of consumption. Speaking of her case, Mrs. Hurd says: ‘T was troubled for many yean with a bad skin disease. My arms an<j limbs would break out in a mass of ■ores, discharging yellow matter. My neck began to swell and became very onslghtiy in appearance. My body was covered with scrofulous eruptions^ My eyes were also greatly Inflamed and weakened, and they pained me very much. My blood was in a very bad condition and my head ached severely at frequent Intervals, and I bad no appetite I had sores also In my eara. 1 waa In a miserable condition, I had tried every remedy that had been recom mended, and doctor after doctor bad failed. One of the best physicians Id the state told me I mast die of scrofulous consumption, as Internal abcesses were beginning to form. I at length was told of Dr. Johnston, of Detroit, and nis famous Sarsaparilla. I tried a bottle, more ao an experiment than any thing else, aa I had no faith in It, and greatly to my agreeable surprise, I began to grow better. You can be sure I kept on taking It I took a great many bottles. But I steadily Improved until I became entirely well. An tha « ea ed up ’ t * ,e ba<1 symptoms disappeared. I gained perfect health. !!# m have , neTer 1)6611 troubled with scrofula since. Of course an old lady Jv ® f 6ftr * * 8 n °t a young woman, but I have had remarkably good health a 5 d believe that JOHNSTON’S SARSAPARILLA la tha i purifier and the best medicine In the wide world, both for 88 8 8 I ) rlng medicine.” This remarkably Interesting old lady did not iok to be more than sixty, and she repeated several times, *T believe my life was saved by JOHNSTON’S SARSAPARILLA.” acxcaxxGfr-AJv oaivct oowupAJWY, owmat.ox’r, nrrmau For sale by Company Store Gaffney Mfg., Co., Gaffney, S.
