Nettles of Darlington. I'nder the new Constitution re<[uiring a school tax of $.'5 per capita, Lancaster's school fund for this year will he $1-1,628, which is about $6,101.68 more than for any previous year. This $6,101.68 will have to be raised by a special levy, yet to be made, unless the authorities so construe the Constitution that the proceeds from the Dispensary can be applied in that direction. That would reduce the amount to be raised by special levy. Crand Lodge K. of II. The Knights of Honor, a wellknown fraternal insurance association. held its annual meeting in Columbia last week. In the entire country the membership numbers nearly one hundred thousan '. There are 64 lodges in South Carolina with a mem-j bershi]) of 2,225. There lias been paid to the widows' and orphans' benefit fund from January 1, 1S96, to December 3 1. 1890, $100,004.74, while fifty-two deaths are reported, the total amount of benefits being $101,000. The deaths reported are from February 4.1 $00, to March 13, 1897, while the amount reported as paid on account of the widows' and orphans' benefit fund is from January 1 to December 31, 1S96. This shows that the receipts from this jurisdiction have about paid the death claims therein. The finances of the Grand Lodge are in good condition, the cash balance on hand being $2, 357.04 ; no debts. Thursday morning the committee on finance reportod reoom mending that tlie per capita tax in subordinate lodges be continued at $1 and that $1,500 be appro-: printed from the funds of the' (iiand bodge for the purpose of j extending the membership of the organization in this State. This amount is to be supplementary to a sum to be appropriated for the same purpose by the Supreme | Lodge, amounting probably to I $000.

An important resolution adopted was one looking to the admission of females to membership in Merit Made and Merit Maintains theronlidcnoe of tho people in Hood's Snrsaparilla. If a medicine cureo you when you nre sick; if it cures your neighbors and your friends when they are ailing; if it makes wonderful cures of many diseases everywhere, then beyond any question that medieino possesses merit. Tlia? is just the truth about Hood's Sarsaparilla. Prcpnrcd by a combination, proportion nnd process unknowu to other medicines, it has curative powers peculiar to itself. We know it possesses great merit because it has Made Cures, not onco or twico or a hundred times, but in thousands and thousands of cases. Wo know it cures, absolutely, permanently cures, when all others fail to do any good whatever. Hood's Snrsaparilla is known to possess merit or tho power to cure disease; it ia known to bo the best building-up medicine on earth; it is known to be honestly advertised, and for theso reasons tho people buy and tako Hood's Snrsaparilla almost to tho exclusion of other preparations.

The Mount Lebanon Shakers recent: ly performed a great deed of charity, although it was not designed as a charity, being nothing more or less than an advertising scheme. It bowever resulted in great good just tbe same. They gave away I,(KM) bottles of t heir I >igest i ve Cordial tot hose suffering from stomach derangements. It was so effective in curing those who used the remedy that they were loud in their praises of it and in consequence a large demand for the Cor' dial was at once created. The druggists of this town have little books that tell all about it. Digestive Cordial creates an appetite, aids digestion and brings about a rapid increase in ilesli and strength.

A practical woman recently said that she reads tho advertisements in the newspapers as closely as anything else. "And long ago," she said. "I quit buying of those who do not advertise. It always seems to me that the merchant who advertises invites mo to trade with him, while the one who does not advertise impresses me with the idea that ho dosen't 1 caro enough for my trade to ask I for it. Then too, I know the merchant who advertises has fresher goodR, for the reason that | he sells more."?Ex. GREAT SALES prove the great , merit of Mood's Sursuparillu.

Buck, of Delaney, Ark., had Scrofula for twenty-five years and most of the time was under the care of the doctors who could not relieve licr. A ? specialist said he could cure her, but lie filled her with arsenic and potash which almost ruined her constitution. She tlieu took nearly every so-called blood medicine and drank them by the wholesale* but they did not reach her trouble. Some one advised her to try S.S.S. and she very soon found that she had a real blood remedy at last. She says: "After tak tng one dozen Dottles ol S.S.S. I am perfectly well, my skin is clear and healthy and I would not be in my former condition for two thousand dollars. Instead of drying upthepoison in my system, like the potash and arsenic, S.S.S. drove the disease out ythrough the skin, and 1 was permanently riil of it." A Real Blood Remedy.
