LOCAL BItEFS.
-Rev. Mr. Croat is able to be out
agaiv after ois recent sickness.
-Rev. Jabrz Ferris, pastor of the
Reptist Church here, preached in the
Baptist Church at Kershaw on Snday.
-Rebeacs, the little daughter of Dr.
and Mrs..- . B. Hanahan, is quite iick.
It is hoped that she will soon recover.
-Mr. W. B. Creight is having re
pairs made on the cotton yarehouse
that was daMaged by fire several
months ago.
-The ladies of the Baptist Church
are arranging for a feast for the chil
dren of that Sunday School. Tbey
hope t have it on Tuesday evening,
and will make the children have a nice
time.
-Te little colored girl who was so
badly burned about two weeks ago,
died on Wednesday morning from the
effects of the burn. It was not thought
at first that the burns were so serious,
though very pa'nful.
--The young ladies from Winnsboro
wno. are attending the various cIl
leges in Columbia will spend Christ
mas at home. Miss Jennie and Marie
Beaty, Clara Beaty and Isabel Doug
lass arc among those who were ex
pctea to reach home on Wednesday.
-The mayor of Charlotte has passed
an ordinance forbidding the firing of
crackers on the streets of that city. It
would be well it the mayors of all
towns and cities should follow his
exarop'e. Many accidents, such as
happened here 'on Tuesday, would be
preveated if this most unappropriate
way of celebrating Christmas could
be stopped.
-Srmtor Tilhnau has introduced a
bill to give Mrs. Belle McCaw Alston
a pcni'm of fifty dollars per month.
It was stated a short time ago in a
Chester paper that Mrs. Alston was to
receive a pension of five dollars per
day from the governient. As the
above will prove,- this report was a
mistake, the bill not having bcen in
troduced at the time that this- state
ment was written.
--Lumnber is being brought here for
the new passenger depot and it is ex
pected iniat the building will be finished
and ready to be occnpied at the end
of about three months. It was said at
one time that the depot would be
finished by the 1st of January, but that
was inmpossible. The favorite Sunday
afternoon walk for those who are
interested is past the new depot and a
great many people can be seen there
on a fine Sunday afterrnoon.
-The negro Ellison Brown who
was so dangerously wounded bWy
Harris on Satur'day evening and who
has been in such a critical condition
evter since, is showing Eome slight
signs ofimproverr.ent, and the attend
ing physician thinks that he might
r ecover after iall. When his wounds
were first examined it was thought
that his recovery .would .be impossible
and that he could not live more than
a few days. The negro who did the
shooting of course is still in jail.

A CARD o~.. THANKS.
.Ar. Editor:'Please allow me space
in your valuable paper to thank the
good~ people of Gladden's Grove, Mor
gantown and Mitford for their hospi
tality toward us while in their mi ist.
I can truthfally say I never met a
more ger.erons-bearted] people in my
life. Their kindness shall never be
forgotten by me.
Very resp~ectft~lly,
A. D. Hood,
Superintendent of Chain Gang.
Morticello, Dec. 16, 1898.
A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Clarke McCants, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Jie. G. McCants, met with a
serica:: acci:leumt on Tuesday. He and
several other bnys were firing crackers
near- the A R. P. parsonage, and a
large '-racker exploded in his right
band. The force of the explosion was
so great that the first joint of the little
fellow's min~dle finger was blown off,
-the thumb was knocked ont of joint
and (t~e hand was spIl open. The
index finger- was badly hurt also, but
the doctor- hopes tQ be'able to save it.
'1h echild suffering very much from
the wound and shock was taken to a
drug store and received medical atten
tion very promptly, and at last ac
counts he was doing vet y nmcely.

BRONCHITIS
Bronchitis is very prevalent. Itgen
erally begins witha common cold, at.
tended with cough, boarseness, sore
ness of the lungs, tightnessofthe cbest
and difficulty in breathing. If not at

sands die from bronchitis annualy.
Dr. JohnW. Bulls Cough Syrup is the
best remedy for this disease; it relieves
the cough at once- effects an easy ex

THE PRESIDENT PASSES THROUGH.
The special train carry ing Prcsident
McKinley aud hii party passed through
town on Monday night at about half
past eleven o'clock. It is unforiunate
that the Presidential train should have
passed through at ' ach an unsenson
able hour a a thus prevent our citi
zens from having even a glimpse of
Mr. McKinley. The people of Colum
bia were more fortunate, and not only
had a sight of the President, but were
honored by a little speech from him.
The south-bound train was delayed on
Monday night by having to wait for
the President's train. We hope that if
the President ever passes this way
again it will not be in the dead of night.
All of us would like to have seen Mr.
McKinley and the other distinguisted
men in the party.
Remarkable Rescue.
Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield,
[Il., makes the statement, that she
caught cold, . which settled on her
lungs: she was treated for a month by
her family physician, but grew worse.
He told her she was a hopeless victim
of consuration and that no medicine
could cure her. Her druggist sug
gested Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption; she bought a bottle and
to her delight found herself benefited
from first dose. She continued its use
and after taking sixbottles, found her
self sound and well; now does her
ewn housework, and is as well as she
ever was. Free trial bottles of this
Great Discovery at McMaster Co.'s
drug store. Large bottles 50 cents
and $1.00. 6

SONG OF FARMER BLUE.
Mir. Editor: I encl:)e ou the "Sorg
of F.. mer Blue." He witbholds hi
real :i.me because he doesn't think
that, as a literary achiievement, it
could contribute to a fame which he
never had. Iu it he has anathematized
nobod-:, slandered nobody, nor said
aught to wound auii body's fcIIhgs.
Yelu can publish it, if you will; if not,
yon can commit it to the voracious
jaws of the relentless waste basket,
But don't, I beseech you, ptch it in
rudely and unfeelinagly, but fold it
with care, and lay it in gently and
reverently, for you know not what
hopes you may thus entomb to -ise
again. "Quoth the raven, ne'crmorc."
Farmer Blue.
The cry of "Hard Times" at the door
The farmer oft has heard before,
Yet never, until here of late,
Has e'enis shadow crossed the gate.
But row with ghostly step and mien,
Within our homes his form is seen.
King cotton is no longer king,
No iorger do his praises ring,
Of his royalty be is shorn,
From bis brow the dioem's torn.
He .; only now a worthless thing
For whom no homage vassels bring
Low xrices have dethroned quite,
At.. left his subjects in a plight,
Witout a star to guide them o),
V th scarce a hope to build upon.
But tho' cast down, they don't despair
Thd f.-runes so.nehow to repair.
Still . :y'ie puzzled just what to do
W ha :ur-e is wisest to pursue.
On. - *-nds, the merchants, all advise,
If fr.. a our low estate we'd rise
And from our hines the wolf expe!,
We mst raise meat and grain to sell.
Now their advice seems stripped of
self,
And leaves to them slim ch'nce of
pelf;
For with meat, corn, wheat, oats, and
rye,
There'd not be much for us to buy,
And ston out friends would come to
be
As posr as even now are we.
Far he it from each farmer's i-eart
To c' so base and mean a par!!
%hrein our friends grow can and
po or
Wilke we should have abut-'Itt store
'Tis irue that in the bygone past
The merchant held us hard anc fast
Yhether we begged, or dared to stand,
Ie always held the w~tining hand.
T,i. ;. past I we don't mean to blame,
For i., their piace we'd do the .ame.
eeing, dear []iRALD, how we -tand,
wili Von not lend a helhing h Avd?
Dvite for u4, pray, if you can,
Some witer and some fairer plan
WVheceby merchant and farmer too
With equal chance may For tune w.; 0.
For without a change we well know
Tba' soon the plow must cease to go.
And ;,ow, dear HERALD, we must close
Before our muse begins to dozo,
For Morpheus whispers it is time
o seek our couch and cease to rhyme.
f e'er we win kind Fortune's smile
nd heap up riches in a pile,
erhaps our muse may come again
nd sing for thee a sweeter strain.
ill then we must both work and pray
nd watch the coming of that day
hen the farmer shall be the peer
f any man that treads this sphere.
ood night, dear HERALD! pleasant
dreams,
hile Luna pours her softest beams, J
hile stars of night shine bright and
fair,
nd bowers of night perfume the air.
