Victoria's Diamond Juhillcc.
The gala week, having its head
quarters at London, memorializing the
sixtieth anniversary of the reign of
Victoria, culminating in the great
celebration of Tuesday last, passed
with transcendent eclat. There has
been nothing approxlnating its splen
dor in all the ages. No country has
ever existed eomparab'e in extent of
dominion and power to that of the
"British crown." That in wisdom, In
science, in commerce, in liberty and
happiness, her subjects are blessed be
yond the nations of ttio earth is not
duo to Victoria actively is beyond
question, but at the same time, it is
equally true, a prince or a half dozen
princes upon the throne, of ambi
tion and aggressive temper, and the re
sult might have boon the reverse of all
this.
As a fact all the world honors Victo
ria, all the world sent greetings to her
and nor people The overwhelming
ovation is largely due to its practica
bility, to the fact that to day inter
communication between antipodes is
easier than botween adjoining States
and provinces a century ago. The
brotherhood of mankind is more
nearly realized than ever in the long
past. Steam and harnessing the
lightning are making all the world to
be kin. How far Sheba travelled to
experience the wisdom, and the might
and the glory and the majesty of
Solomon will never be known, as her
country and her home can never be
located. If a Sheba had visited Lon
don on Tuesday last she may have not
encountered in one personage the wis
dom her ancient majesty found in tho
great monarch of Juda, but the wealth,
the pageantry and the might imper
sonated in the metropolis of the world
on Tuesday last has not had its
parallel in the history of the ages.?
Mankind arc not kindly disposed to
v lisb: they are land-grabbers.
Ivo and absorbers of tho
hd conquerors of nations; they
Continents and proceed to take
the sun forever shines upon the
?bandard and that standard is
i rampant. Out the sins of

queen. The world has con
to love her. The God of the

e reign to three score years
r, and on Tuesday last more
ids lips pleaded for blessings

psannahs to the ruler of all.
peadyisni -Or What Else.'
Court of inquiry organized by
governor' and Commander-in
to investigate and report the
Of the College grounds rumpus
he State militia has concluded Its
s and submitted its conclusions to
Governor. It finds as fact that
I ts, the Adjutant General, was
>ly an inspection ollicer by law,
that Col. Wilie Jones, the ccm
.idant or his Adjutant should have
located the field for tho maneuvering
/of tho troops and that this was not
'done. It furthor finds that Col. Jones
/ neglected and failed to inform Watts
,' of the very material fact, that tho mil

I whon that fact was in possession of
f. Col. Jone tovl Col. Jones alone. We
?peak of facts as found bj the dis
tinguished Court. Notwithstanding
these findings, the Court proceed to
recommend a published "reprimand"
of Watts, tho reprimand of one poor
private and the dismissal of another
from the glorious privilege of serving
in tho militia of 'our grand old State."
There has not been such a blundering
NON-sequitur?thero has not been so
self-contradictory a conclusion as hor
found between ascertained facts and
conclusions. A child, the merest ass,
may understand that the unfortunate
collision resulted upon the withholding
of tho facts as found from Gen. Watts,
the reviewing officer. The Court may
bo strong n its personel and ccmparcd
to tho fiel?? from which His Excollency
had to choose, but Jublter himself
nods and nodoubt the Court felt the
hypnotic inlluence of the big dailies of
that great capital city, Columbia, who

portions of Watts compared to their own
enormous dimensions. Governor 101
lerbo after he has waded through the
_ .184 pages of fool's cap, if he has a head
loft, will wc assume, see the absurdly
contradictory character of the facts
found and the recommendations of the
Court. So scolng this, should end the
matter. But certainly tho General
Assembly will be competent to digest
tho voluminous testimony and trium
phantly vindicate Watts.

Mr. Latlmor (Dom. S. C) asked
unanimous consent to have considered
a bill declaring a State capable of en
tirely controlling tho liquor trahic.
This, Mr. W. A. Ptono (Rep,. Pa.)
said was an outgrowth of n local fight
in South Carolina, in which tho courts
had mado a decision, and was not a
6roper matter for consideration by tho
[ouse. Ho objected to its considera
tion.
Certainly, Mr. Latimor, but it will
take every man, woman and child in
the State to do tho business. The name
of tho Ponnsylvania gentleman sug
gests thirsty follow cltl/.ons not a
"stone throw" from Hon. Mr. Latimor.
And the suggestion of Mr. Latimer
suggests a very suggestive story book
of ono Marcus Twain - "Innocents
Abroad." Innocence in Mr. Latimer,
or Mr. anybody else, however, is com
mendable, and for this virtue tho Hon.
menber has our conjmondation.
Johny Rebs at Nashville.
A resolution commendatory of the 1
roign of Queen Victoria was voted
down, and the resolution of praise for
the <v>ucon's Jubilee was defeatod .
Unnecessary resolutions, but should
have been voted, when oncu Offered.
If for no other reason out ?f respect to
tho memory of Carlisle. The South
has no quarrel with England, the only
State in Hurope in sympathy with us
when we were fighting the world.?
Kvery other nationality had their
rapscallions us hirelings in arms against
us. John Hull is greedy but not mer
cenary?he hires others of the "can
kers of a long peace" to do his light

uniform. The resolutions should have

PRACTICE ECONOMY
In buying medicine as in other
matters. It is economy to got
Hood's Sar.saparilla because there
is more medicinal value in Hood's
Sar.saparilla than In any other.?
V.very bottlo of Hood's Sarsap
arilla contains 100 doses and will
average, taken according to di
rections, to last a month, while
others last but a for night.
Hood's Pills are the only pills to
take with Hood's Sar.saparilla.?
Easy and yet efficient.
Assigned To I.aureus
Tho county board of education
went to Princeton this week and
mot with the Laurens board for a
consultation on tho subject of the
Princeton school district, which
lies partly in Greenville and partly
in Laurens. Tho boards decided
not to change tho boundaries of tho
school district or to make a special
district. Tho difficulties arising
from tho mixed condition of affairs
were obviated by transferring six
Citizens of Dunklin township, who
livo in the corporate limits of
Princeton to Laurens County In
order to give them the benefit of
tho public money for tho Princeton
school.?Greenville Mountaineer.

You Know.
The Shakers have made a great
hit. Their digestive Cordial is said
to bo tho most successful remedy
for stomach troubles ever intro
duced. It immediately relieves
nil pain and distress after eating,
builds up the feeble system, and
makes the weak strong.
The fact is, foods properly di
gested are better than so called
tonics. The Cordial not only con
tains food already digested, but is
a digester of other foods. Food
that is not digested does more harm
than good. People who use the
Cordial insure the digestion of
what food they eat and in this
way get the benefit of it and grow
strong.
The little pamphlets which the
Shakers have sent druggists for
free distribution, contain much in
teresting information on the sub
ject of dyspepsia.
LAXOL is not- a mixture of
drugs. Ii is nothing but Castor
