REV T W MELLICHAMP DEAD Rev. T. W. Mellichamp died while on a visit to Rev. E. A. McDowell, lnear Alston, on Saturday. Mr. Melli Ichamp was born in Charleston in 1817, and had been a Baptist minister for iearly sixty years. His ancestors were French Huguenots. For a nu er of years he was pastor of aptist Church at this place. A g a;nd pious man, his long life has b most useful one. His remains were taken to P' way on Sunday for burial. DISPENSARY $OBRED Sunday morning the back door to the dispensary was found broken, and the presumption, of course, is that socie one Saturday night or Sunday morning broke open the door and entered. A considerable quantity of whi'ikey ws.stolen by the case. The lossi is:estimated at $215. This is the seedpd robbery that has occurred on Maia street within a week. Evidently the :burglar at the dispensary was familiar with the premises as the hole I in th'p door was made with splendid accuracy to enable him to remove the bar. (Then again from the amount stolen, it is presumed that quite a number had a hand in it. BEATH OF MRS EMEE BOORS MILLING ..A her home in Greenwood County, S.

Editor: I notice in your issue of his morning a mention of water orks for the town. It is eminently roper to have the matter discussed; there sliould join you and the die ussion should not end till they are .'mpleted. But with your permis on, I should like to change the word expense"~ in the phrase, "at the ex ense of the taxpayers" to investment. he success of every such undertaking epends upon whether people consider the one or the other. As long as ey look at it as an expense, it is a eacd issue; as soon as they consider it n investment, it takes on life and be mes a living reality. Such an enter rise is purely and wholly an invest ent; it is as free from the element fexpense as any other investment. a town issues $40,000 in bonds for plant for water works and electric ghts, it is an investment and a most aying one. It differs from an invest ient in factory stock or bonds in that ; dividends always come indirectly, t they come no less surely and on n ever increasing scale. Many of e interior towns of this State-some 0 larger than this-have made simi r investments and have pronounced em a success. Winnsboro would o well to imitate their example; the atter is well worthy of immediate onsideration. Very well do I remember when the ~round was first broken for the water rrks of Spartanburg. It was at the ~eginning of tnat city's rapidly in resing prosperity. A few days ~fter, a twelve-year-old boy, at the ose where I was boarding, came in ~rom school and with unbounded joy onounced the fact that Spartanburg ras to have a great female coillege. he water works were completed; ~onverse College came; factories fol wed; and the Spartanburg town of ~,5@0 ten ye'rre ago is to-day a small pity of more than 10,000 and with CASTOR IA For Tnfants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Slano of more business and intellectual activty than any town in the State. I imagine the Winnsboro lads at the certain an nouncement of water works and elec tric lights would give unheard-of ex pressions of delight and patriotism in these regions. Let the boys have a chance. J. Frank Fooshe. Winnsboro, May 13, 1899. J. D. Bridge, editor and proprietor of the Democrat, Lancaster, N. H., says: "I would not be without One Minute Cough Cure for my boy, when troubled with a cough or cold. It is the best remedy for croup I ever used." McMaster Co. UPPER LONGTOWN BREVITIES. The community was greatly sad dened by the death of Mrs. David Robertson, which occured at her home in lower Longtown on Monday. The deceased had been in declining health for some time. Death, however, came almost wholly unexpected. Heart failure was the immediate cause of her death. The funeral services were held at the Ridgeway Baptist Church of which the deceated was a consis tent member. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. L. Free man. The remains were carried to Columbia for interment. Mrs. Robert s-n was a most estimable Christian lady -one who will be greatly missed by , c friends. The deceased leaves besiWes her husband a daughter, Mrs. C. lV. Wray, of Ridgeway, to mourn her loss. We extend our sympathies to the bereaved ones, and point them to our Heavenly Father who doeth all things well and who is able to wipe away all tears from our eyes, We had a splendid rain lasc Satur day night, which was highly beneficial the growing crops. Corn planted March is looking well; therw is some laint of defective stands. Cotton ming up ricely since the recent the acreage is somewhat smaller last year. Small grain is not so well; haven't had euficient a for it. Gardens are looking nicely; plenty of turnips, lettuce, radiFhes, onions, etc., ready for table use. The fruit crop will be smaller than we expected. We noticed that most of it has already fallen off the trees; especially is this the case with cherries and plums. We suppose that we will have to fall back on the old stand-by the blackberry-this year. Messrs. J. D. Harrison, Wm. Simp son, A. F. Peay, R. A. Hudson and T. C. Raines, of Longtown, attended the reunion in Charleston. Some of them have returned and report a grand time. The lower Longtown school closed last Friday. On Monday night there was a May party at the school house. Dialogues, recitations, ets , were pr.r tieipated in by the school children. May 13, 1899. E. H. D. His Life Was Sawed. Mr. J. EI. Lilly, a prominent citizen of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a won derful deliverance from a frightful death. In telling of it he says: "I was taken with Typhod Fever, that ran into Pneumonia. My langs be came hardened. I was so weak I couldn't even sit up in bed. Nothing helped me. I expected to soon die of Consumption, when I heard :of Dr. King's New Discovery. One bottle gave great relief. I continued to use it, and now am well and strong, I can't say too much in its praise." This marvellous medicine is the surest and quickest cure in the world for all Throat and Lunf Trouble. Regular sizes 50 cents and 81.00.

Passed through a trying time. My sympathy arose at once, 1 knew just how they felt, Ive been that road so many times, And by the same means dealt. Well, U. X., you and Billy both Still must be very young For this to be your irst call ofi' While ou' to have some fun. I do bolieve that I could point To places in this land, Where the walls are bruised from side to side Like footprints in the sand. Was very much surprised indeed That you both took the blaes, Revealing secrets of that night By putting it as news. Like you at first I took it to head , And always cleared the hall, But have long since been accustomed to These tappings on the wall. I know you thought it was a spook Just inside of the hall; No danger of your getting hurt By tappings on the wall. You've heard them once, will hear them again, Not everywhere you call. Take my advIce and bid adieu By tappings on the wall. Boys, if those girls you love that much, Just make another call, Then if you leave in time you'll find No tippings on the wall. Old Fed. No Biaht to Ugliness. The woman who is lovely in face, form and temper will always have friends, but one who would be attrac tive must keep her health. If she is weak, sickly and all run down, she will be nervous and irr itable. If she had constipation or kidney trouble, her impure blood will cause pimples, blotches, skin eruptions and a wretch ed complexion. Electric Bitters is the best medicine in the world to regulate stomach, liver and kidneys and to purify the blood. It gives strong nerves, bright eyes, smooth, velvety skin, rich complexion. It will make a good-looking, charming woman of a run-down invalid. Only 50 cents at McMaster Co.'s drug store. FICnA w'J case Rheuntu=n and j. For Over Fifty Years. MRS.
