Says Home-Made Mixture |e Easily
Prepared, and Cures Weak Kid
neys and Bladder.
Here is a simple home-made mix
ture as given by an eminent authority
of Kidney diseases, who makes the
statement in a New York daily news
paper, that it will relieve almost any
case of Kidney trouble if taken be
fore the stage of Bright’s disease. He
states that such symptoms as lame
back, pain in the sde, frequent desire
to urinate, especially at night; pain
ful and discolored urination, are read
ily overcome. Here is the receipe;
try it:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Take a teasoonful after
each meal and at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here in town
is authority that these ingredients
are all harmless and easily mixed ;
home by shaking well in a bottle.
This mixture has a peculiar healing
and soothing effect upon the entire
Kidney and Urinary structure, and
often overcomes the worst forms of
Rheumatism in Just a little while.
This mixture is said to remove all
blood disorders and cure the Rheu
matism by forcing the Kidneys to
filter and strain from the blood and
system all uric acid and foul, decom
posed waste matter, which cause these
afflictions. Try it if you aren’t well.

morning two blue clad servants of the

number of policemen and a cloud of

One lotpi'icious colored geutleuiai

seemed necessary.
“Have you read the Bible?” askcn
the Judge.

HORSE-SHOE ROBINSON
A TALE OF THE TORY ASCENDENCY
BY
JOHN P. KENNEDY
The passage of the brook occupied
time; for the thirsty horses were
successively given a slack rein as
they entered the ford, and were al
lowed to drinl:>. This delay separat
ed the platoons, and those who first
passed over had advanced a consider
able distance before the stragglers of
the rear had quitted the stream. For
some minutes that stir and noise pre
vailed which, in » military party,
generally attends the attempt to re
store order anionst confused or brok
en ranks. The frequent commands
of officers summoning the loiterers
and chiding their delay, were given
from front to rear in loud tones, and
the swift gallop of those who had
lingered in the stream, as they obey
ed the order and hastened forward
to their places, sent forth a quick
and spirited evidence of bustle, that
broke sharply ufion the silence of
the surrounding forest. These indi
cations of activity unfortunately prick
ed with a sudden astonishment the
ea r of one who has heretofore figur
ed. not without renown, in this his
tory—the lusty and faithful Captain
Peter; who, not sufficiently alive to
the distinction between friend and
foe, now began to snuff, and paw
the ground, and then with a long and
clear note of recognition, to express
his feelings of good fellowship to
wards the unseen strangers. Another
moment, and the gay and thoughtless
steed reared, plunged broke his
bridle, and bounded through the
woods, with a frolicsome speed that
brought him into the midst of the
troop, where he wheeled up and took
hig place, like a disciplined charger,
on the flank of one of the platoons.
This incident caused the officer in
command of the party to come again
to a halt, and to despatch a portion
of his men to seek the owner of the
horse. An eager search commenced,
which was almost immediately ter
minated by the wary sergeant pre
senting himself to the view of the
troop, on a prominent and exposed
point of the rock, where he seemed
to be busily and unconcernedly en
gaged with his jack-knife, in strip
ping the bark from the roots of a
sassafras tree that grew out of one
of the fissures of the cliff. Appar
ently, he gave no attention to the
clamor around him. nor seemed to
show a wish to conceal himself from
notice.
“Who in the devil are you—and
what are you about?” exclaimed the
leading soldier, as he mounted the
rock and came up immediately be-

“That will do.” said the judge. “You

The witness left the chair, wondering
what the people were all laughing
about. Outside the courtroom light
was shed on the personality of the
Scripture character whom he had been
modestly following. A colored clergy,
man did the light shedding act, and
the witness hastened hack to correct
ing his labor at the root of the tree.
“Good day, friend,” said Robinson,
looking up over his shoulder, “Good
day; From your looks you belong
to the army, and, if that’s true, per
haps you mought be able to tell me
how far it is from here to the river?”
“Get up on your feef,” said the
other, “and follow me quickly! I will
take you to one who will oil the
joints of your tongue for you, and
put you to studying your catechism.

He was conducted to the troop, who
were waiting in the road the return
of the men that had been despatched
on this piece of service.
“Quick, quick, move yourself! we
have no time to lose,” cried out the
officer in command of the detach

came in view; and then, atfer an in

into the charge of one of the leaders
of a platoon, and then put spurs to
hi 8 steed and moved to the head of
the column.
It w r as in the afternoon when this
incident occurred; and Robinson
found himself, during the remainder
of the day, compelled to follow the
troop through a jseries of by-ways
across the country, in a direction of
which he was wholly ignorant,—be
ing also in the same degree unac
quainted with the object of the march, i
When the day closed they arrived at
a farm house, where it seemed to be
their purpose to pass the night; and
here the sergeant, towards whom no
unnecessary rigor had been exercis-1
ed, was freely allowed to participate
in the cheer provided for the party, j
This rest was of short duration; for,
before the coming of the alioted bed- * 1
hour, a courier arrived, bringing a |
despatch to the leader of the detach-!
ment, which produced an instant or- ■
der to saddle and resume the march, j
Once more upon the road, the serge
ant became aware, as well as he was
able to determine in the dark, that the
party during the night were retracing
their steps, and returning upon the
same route which they had before
travelled.
A half hour before the dawn found
the troop ascending a long hill, the
summit of which, as Robinson per
ceived from the rustling of the blades
in the morning wind, was covered by
a field of standing corn; and he was
enabled to descry', moving athwart
the starlit sky, the figures of men on
horseback approaching the column.
The customary challenge was given;
a momentary halt ensued, and he
could hear the patrole—for such they
described themselves.—informing the
officer of the detachment that Colo-1
nel Tarleton was close at hand ex-1
pecting their arrival. This intelli
gence induced an increase of speed
which, after a short interval, brought
the nightworn squadron into the pre
sence or nearly a whole regiment of
cavalry.
The troops, thus encountered, were
stationed upon the high-road where |
it crossed an open and uncultivated
plain, the nearer extremity of which
was bordered b.v the cornfield of
which I have spoken. It was appar
ent that the regiment had passed the
night at this place, as a number of
horses were yet attached to the fence ;
that guarded the field, and were feed-;
ing on the blades of corn that had !
been gathered and thrown before
them. The greater part, however,
were now drawn up in column of
march, as if hut recently arrayed to
prepare for the toil of the coming
day. |
Robinson wag conducted along the ,
flank of the column, and thence to
a spot in the neighborhood, whore a
party of officers assembled by a syl
van ’ tent, constructed of the boughs
of trees, showed him that he was at:
the headquarters of the oommander |
of the corps. This tent was pitched ;
upon a piece of high ground that af-;
forded a view of the distant horizon ;
in the east, where a faint streak of
daylight lay like the traces of a far-
off town in flames, against which the i
forms of men and horses were reliev-1
ed, in bold profile, as they now mov
ed about in the early preparations
for their march.
A single faggot gleamed within the
tent, and, by its ray, Horse Shoe was
enabled to discern the well knowm
figure of Tarleton, as he conferred
with a company of officers around
him. After the sergeant had waited
a few moments, he was ordered into
the presence of the group within:
“You were found yesterday,” said
Tarleton, “in suspicious circumstanc
es—what is your name, fellow?”
“I am called Stephen Foster by
name,” replied the sergeant, “being
a stranger in these parts. At home
I’m a kind of a gardner tr> a gentle
man in Virginia; and it isn’t long
since I sot out with his daughter to
come here info Carolina. She fell

ant, “were to arrest all auspicious
persons; and I had two reasons to |
suspect this man. First, he who
found upon a spot that couldn’t have
been better chosen for a look-out if
he had been sent to reconnoitre us;
and second, his horse showed some
military training.”
“But the booby himself was stupid
enough,” rejoined the commander,
“to carry his passport in his face.”
“I have a paper, sir, to that pur
pose," said Horse Shoe, putting his
hands into his pockets, “it signifies.
I was told.—for I can’t read of my
own accord—that I mought pass free
without molest!fication from the sodg-
ers of the king—this is it, I believe,
sir.”
“To three suppers at the rising
sun, four and six pence,” said Tar
leton, reading. “Tush, this is a
tavern bill!’’
“Ha. ha. so it is,” exclaimed Robin
son. “NVIell, I have been keeping that'
there paper for a week past, thinking |
it was my certificate—and, like a fool.
I have gone and tore up the t’other.”
“Wle are wasting time, gentlemen,”
said the commander. “Turn this fel
low loose, and let him go his ways.
But hark you. did you hear of a fight
lately on Pedee, between some of our
people and Marion—three days ago?” ■
"They talked of such a thing on
the river,” replied Horse Shoe.
“Well, and what was said?”
“Nothing in particular that I can
bear In mind.” I
“Like all the rest we have tried
to get out of him; You don’t even
know which party got the better?”
“Oh, I have hearn that, sir.”
“\V!hat did you hear? speak out!”.
“Shall j give you the cL'cumlocu-
tory account of the matter?” asked
Horse Shoe, “or did you wish me? to
go into the particulars?”
“Any account, so that it be short.” j
“Then I have beam that Marion
gave the t’other side a bit of a beat
ing.”
“Aye, aye, so I suppose! Another
tale of this Jack the Giant Killer!
And what hag become of Marion?”
“That's onbeknownst to me,” re-
plied Horse Shoe.
“Do you remember the fool we met
at the Waxhaws last May ” asked!
one of the officers present, of anoth
er. “This fellow might pass for a
full brother in blood—only I think
this clown has the less wit of the
two.”
“As heavy a lump, certainly,” re
plied the officer. “This, you say, is
the first time you have been in Caro-1
lina?”
“To my knowledge,” replied the j
sergeant.
“It is broad day, gentlemen.” said
Tarieston; “we have been squander
ing precious time upon an empty
simpleton. Give him his beast ana
let him be gone. Sirrah, you ate free
to depart. But, look you. if I hear
any report along the road of your
having seen me, or a word about my
coming. I’ll ferret you out and have
you trussed upon a stake twenty feet
long.”
“Thank your honor,” said Horse
Slice, as he left the tent. “I never
troubles my head with things out of
my line.”
Then seeking his horse he leisure
ly rode back by the way he had come;
and as soon as he found himself be
yond the outposts of the corps, he
urged Captain Peter to as much speed J
as the late arduous duties of the good
beast left him power to exert.

AS SUCCESSFUL EAST
AS IN THE WEST
Cooper’s Theories Are Being Rapidly Accepted
by Eastern People.
L. T. Cooper, whose theory that
the human stomach is the cause of
most ill health and who created a
furore In Chicago, St. Louis and other
western cities, is meeting with the
same remarkable success with his
medicine throughout the east. Cooper
has convinced an Immense number of
people that his theory Is sound and
his medicine will do what he claims.
Perhaps the most interesting fear
tures of the discussion tills young
man is causing, are the statements
made by responsible people who have
taken his medicines and have become
enthusiastic converts to his beliefs.

To the People of Gaffney.
All persons in Gaffney must hold
themselves responsible for any weak
ness or suffering caused from old
age. chronic coughs or colds, bron
chitis. weak lungs, run-down condi-
tiens, stomach troubles, nervousness
or poor blood when we are willing
to sell them the real cod liver pre
paration, Vinol, and return their
money if it does not benefit.
The reason Vinol is so successful
in restoring health and creating
strength is because it contains in ad
dition to tonic iron all the medicinal
elements of cod liver oil actually
taken from fresh cod’s livers, but
without oil or grease to upset the
stomach and retard its work.
Unlike old-fashioned cod liver oil
and emulsions, it is deliciously pala
table, agreeable to the weakest stom
ach, therefore, unequalled as a
strength creator and tonic recon
structor.
A member of the Gaffney Drug

we ask every run-down, nervous, de

to several di. cases, the appearance,

sincerely regret that some of his inter

duced. They were often larded with
too much technique to trust to my
memory for their reproduction. Two
episodes may be cited:
While operating upon a patient for
appendicitis action of the heart sud-
detdy eased, for no imaginable rea
son. Tile patient w as dead. Instantly
the surgeon thrust his arm inside the
abdominal cavity, seized the heart that
had ceased to beat in his strong grasp,
squeezed it until the blood was forced
into the extremities of the body. Re
laxing his grasp, tin* moribund organ
retilled. This artificial heart action
was maintained until the organ acted
of itself. Tiie original operation was
completed and the patient, who was
dead, is alive today.
Another experience related to a man
who was shot in the abdomen, the ball
having made four perforations of tin*
small Intestine. Dr. Shrady had the
man put on the operating tabh* open
ed tiie abdominal cavity, removed all
the intestines—al>out sixteen feot in

inch of them to see that further injury
had not occurred, eliminated exactly
eight inches of the intestine which
contained the pistol holes, constructed
a switch for tiie alimentary canal un
til the joint could heal, then sewed up
the incision, in which a tulie had been
inserted for this deflection, and the pa
tient was seut home a whole man—if
we except a section of his intestine*.
He entirely recovered and was alive

Mutilated Magazines.
Australia has placed a heavy duty
on all magazines containing adrertis-
Ing matter in a proportion of more
than one-fifth of the general contents,
Mutilated magazines are one of the
first results of the new tariff. Sub
scribers to many popular monthlies are
writing to the Melbourne papers, in
dignantly complaining of the condition
in which the last numbers reached
them. Nearly all the advertising pages
were torn out by rude force. This was
done by the agents with the permission
of the minister of customs, xvho has
granted the publishers four months'
grace to make fresh arrangements.
