NOTES AND COMMENTS. * - Senator Butler and Representative Sarratt are two very popular mem bers of the legislature, if we are to judge from the attention shown them by their colleagues. They are a pretty lively pair and are no doubt working for the very best interest of their constituents. During a visit to Columbia last week we passed the spot where N. G. Gonzales was assassinated, and we could not suppress the feeling of sadness that arose within us. No true citizen of South Carolina will ever be able to pass that spot with the knowledge of the crime that crimsoned the soil and made a blot upon the fair name of the State, without a sense of the awfulness of the tragedy that blotted out the life and ended the career of one of her most devoted sons. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ We don’t know that we have any- people whose standing and opportuni ties would suggest better things. But where ignorance is bliss ’tis folly to be wise. This recalls an incident reported of a northern lady who visited this sec tion some years ago our women she said: ‘‘They are such poor conversationalists—they know nothing to talk about and hence talk about one another.” That that is true in many instances no one will try to deny. The fact is,with all the opportunities afforded them to be otherwise,some people try to see bow ignorant they can be of things worth knowing. We understand that Mr. John Blackwood has got the contract for carrying the mail from Sarratts to Wilkinsville for the next four years. The following is copied from The StatR and will bis read with great in terest by those who, like ourselt, never heard of it before. To us it sounds more “like a huge joke” than anything else, but it may lead to some remarkable discoveries: “Senator T. B. Butler, of Cherokee, has a memento from one of his clients, which has greatly interested the guests he has shown it to at his room in the Jerome hotel. It is a large bowie knife, which was given him re among these people, and they suffer far worse tortures than the million aire unless they avail themselves of u standard medicine like Green’s Aug ust Flower, which has been a favor ite household remedy for all stomach troubles for over thirty-five years. Speaking of August Flower rouses the torpid liver, thus creating appetite and insuring perfect digestion. It tones and vital izes the entire system and makes life worth living, no matter what your station. Trial bottlft, 25c; regular sixe, 75c. Cberokee Drug Co.; L J. Allison, Cowpens. S C.

Friday we published that we would distribute these seed. The people came for them so rapidly that by yesterday noon the entire lot had been disposed of and we could have given away hundreds more, so many people call ing after the supply Jhad been ex hausted. Secretary of State Jesse T. Gantt has rendered the State a service that she will never be able to adequately below this and nearer the edge of the blade was so much ground off by Per ry before he found out that the blade was inscribed, that it is unintelligible. The first word seeeras to have been ‘First’ and the last ‘Confederacy.’ Perry dug it up while at work near the famous Dogwood spring men- tioned.in'Horseshoe Robinson.’ Many years ago a party of northern people were in the neighborhood digging for supposed hidden treasure, and since Perry learned that, he has refused to disclose the exact place he found the knife. He says that when his time is up on the gang he is going back 1 and make a more thorough search for the treasure. He thinks that his crime may yet lead him indirectly to fame and fortune, absolute indepen dence and luxurious ease.” Mr. and Mrs. Walker Goforth gave the young people a pound supper Thursday night. Mr. Matthew Bankhead, who was sick some time ago, says Dr. Black gave him quinine in them little shells. Mr. John F. Estes and Miss Mattie The manager of one of the most 4 successful furniture houses in ^ Greater New York was asked to ^ what one thing, in his opinion, the success of the concern was most due. He replied: “The founder of the firm was a great 4 believer in advertising, and to this fact may be ascribed the enormous business we are handling.” There is no business, however small, that cannot be increased by judicious, systematic, per- 4 sistent advertising.

It has recently been discovered that the germs that produce Malaria, breed and multiply in the intestines and from there spread throughout the system by means of the blood. This fact ex plains why Malaria is hard to cure by the old method of treatment. Quinine, Iron, etc., stimulate the nerves and build up the blood, but do not destroy the germs that cause the disease. Rydale’s Tonic has a specific effect upon the intestines and bowels, freeing them from all disease breeding mi crobes. It also kills the germs that infest the veins and arteries. It drives from the blood all poisonous matter and makes it rich and healthy. RYDALE’S TONIC is a blood builder, a nerve restorer, and a Malaria destroyer. Try it, it will not disap point you.
