A fellow feel ing makes us wondrous kind. The gold of the Goyer?M*&ent goes out by every ?*-?*h,er; the peoplTHiave nono In tnolr ,fots. We are all upon o doad level. >o Britons, our ancestors, were in adod by t^he Danes, tho Britons paid them a certain sum and tho invaders departed; the next yoar they eamo back in doublo force; It took double the sum to get rid of them. Tho noxt year the Britons had no money to buy thorn off or arms or ships and tho Danes set tled on tho country. Our members of Congress will have to tako sliver for their por diom and mileage. Every gol / den ploco will have drifted to Lom bard Streot, London. Is thero nobody that we could rob'. Why not sue Mexico and tho South American States? Thoro must bo good pickings s?mewhoro? Is history to teach us nothing? * # * In addition to sending a train of cars full of provisions to tho starving Ne bruskans tho .Georgians behaved last woek very gracofully at Atlanta to wards tho widow of General Grant.? Southerners and especially old soldiors know to do graciously towards a wo mau, a lady, and especially towards tho widow of tho man who was courtoous to Gon.

Tom Iward, of RockJ^ih; - ?irflold ty, South^UsH'oitna. * * * Tho present Democratic Congress can agroo upon no financial policy for tho rollof of tho country. Tho verdict of our incompotoney was rendered in Novombor. It was based upon tho ac tion of a mongrel Democratic Ilouso in their wild craze to put tho country * upon a silver standard. The Eighty five Southern Democrats were fools to think that they could drive tho mighty hosts North and West to tako for their bonds Silvor dishonored by all the world. In tho meanwhile they rofuse to follow Clovoland and Carlisle and havo no settled policy of their own. Llko Collins' ram thoy will neither load nor follow, and tho result is wo aro in a fix. Gold goes abroad by the steamer load, confidence In our Gov ernment is lost, its faith and credit are indirectly assailed and wo are fast "passing into tho category of Mexico and the*Centr;il American States. Are we continually to proy upon ono another? The story of tho Kilkenny oats is a lesson In point. Aloxandor HamiltonGunn wont be foro our Logislutors and got a charter for u ton million dollar bank to bo es tablished in Columbia. And now this Gunn of largo callbro is in troublo in far olT London complaint being mado by a lady of that town. Ho deserves the sympathies of us far off foreigners for his grand conception and magnifi cent Intentions. Wo respectfully refer htm to Clovoland, Carllslo & Co. Tho deep, deop sea is forever drinking in tho waters of tno great rivers but is never full: like unto it is the financial stomach of Wall Street, but G unn mi gh t gorgo it and tho perpetual drain on our slondor rosourcos might stop. Our Legislatures spent somo hundred in giv ing him his charter. "What fools wo mortals be." An Intolllgont friend of tho Adver tiser has beon traveling as far as Texas and visited various communities and pooplos. Wo interviewed him ns to the financial conditions where he had sojourned. Ho states that so far as he had soon wo h?re in Laurons County are fully as woll off as any of them, If not bottor. Verily, mlsory loves com pany, and lot us all tako consolation, grin and onduro, build a factory, glvo employment to the poor, help prices for homo produots and hopo for better times in tho-very near future. * * * If thoro wero any Consorvatlvo party in this State, its vocation Is gene.

Thoro Is nothing loft to con serve but horses and mules worth thirty dollars por hoad, lands at two dollars por aero, and the taxes, a mil lion aud a half, which, as wo have said, are conserved by thoso who divido thorn out as office holdors.

He was a member of the Order and in his death Masonry nover lost a truor and more zealouB advocate. All who knew him unhesitatingly eay that ho was truly an honest, good citizen and a very kind neighbor. He leaves three brothers and three slstors (of whom two brothorsaro In the far Wost) to mourn their loss. May they humbly acknowledgo the wisdom of tho Lord in tho breach which Ho hasmado inthoir family, and may thoy ontlrely submit to h i wise and holy will, and evor livo as bocomoth dying, and yot immor tal men. Mr. Traynham's ancestors were Scotch-Irish and English and em igrated from Virginia to South Caro lina, and woro among tho first settlors of Laurons County. Ho finished his education at Anderson, aftor which ho spent muoh of his tlmo In touching. At the commoncomont of hostilities be tween tho North and South ho was in tho moroantilobii8ino88 at Honea-Path. At onco he Intrusted his interest to the caro of his Copartner and enlisted in Company E. Hampton Loglon, Aftor wards his eyes glanced ovorall tho bat tlo-llcld8 of Virginia und sovoral in East Tonnossoo, and with fow oxcoptlons ho was a participant In all. Whore tho contest was tho hottest and the pros sure hoavie8twa8 where ho liked to bo. Ho fought through tho war as u pri vate Ho nover wanted promotion at tho hands of inon, not caring anything for rank, but only fought and longed for success. Aftor tho surrender of Gen oral Leo at Apponiattox, ho roturnod to his native Stato and settled on his father's old homestead and dovotod his whole time to ugrlculturo up to his death.

The most remarkable Water on the Market to-day which is Shown by its Analysis and Testimonials of the Most Noted Physicians of the Country. Read what n prominent merchant of Columbia, S. C, has to say for Harris Lithia Water: "I had long been afl'ccted with kidaey troubles. I had tried all the mineral waters from Saratoga U Porter Springs. I had tried the Western waters and all others that I could hear of, and I have no hesi tancy in saying that none have benefited me even approximately as much as the Harris Lithia Water. I was using the BuiTalo Lithia Water when I heard of this. 1 do not expect to use the Buffalo Water again. "When I went to Harris Lithia Springs, ^1 had to^bejassisted out of my chair. After remaining two weeks I could get about as good as anybody. It acted on me like a charm?quickly and effectively. This water is now being largely sold in Columbia, and I think ?wery person who has tried it will aj^ree with mc in the belief that it h the most re markable water in the country. From a simple interest in suffciing hu manity, I would like very much to sec it given a trial. C A. BALDWIN, Columbia, S. C. Harris Lithia Water Co., Harris Springs, S. C. Akiikvii.(.!?., N. C.i September, 9, 1893. Mr. J. T. Harris: We have been selling the Harris Lithia Water for some time, and find it a ready seller; those who have tried it are loud in its praise. The doctors here regard it superior to cither the Buffalo or Londonderry Waters. Wc predict for it a wonderful sale when the merits become more generally known. . , Yours a cry truly, RAYSOR & SMITH, Prescription Druggist. Prosperity, S. C. Feb. 28, 1894. Mr. J. T.
