"I wish to say a few words in praise of Chamberlain's Colio, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy," says Mrs. Mattio B?rge, of MartinsviHe, Va. "I suf fered from chronic diarrhoea for ten years and during that time tried va rious medicines without obtaining any pormanent relief. List summer one of my children was taken with cholera morbuF, aud I procured a bottle of ibis remedy. Only two doses were required to give her entire relief. I then de oided to try the medicine myself, and did not use all of one bottle before I was well and I have never since been troubled with that complaint. One can not say too much in favor of that won derful ratdlcine." This remedy Is for sale by Laurens Drug Co. WORKING NIGHT AND DAY.

C.| last Friday. J. D. Leonard, a prominent Spartan burg county man, died last week. Mr?. L?e Bogao was killed near Cowpenp, Spartanburg county, Sunday by a runaway mule. Monday Willio McMillin, a negro bell boy at the Spartan Inn, Spartan burg, fell 50 feet out of a window and was killed. Eliza Gray, a negross, tritd to com mit suicido in tho Anderson jail last week. It is said to be very unpleasant to bo in jail at this season of tho year, in Anderson or elsewhere. Last week near the site of tho Paco let ware-house, washed away in the flood, a bit of cotton was seen sticking through tho sand. It was found to bo a part of a bale. Othor balos wero found beneath and in all $60,000 worth of co-ton was recovored. It bad been completely buried and lost. COIRS WERE FOUND. Three Old Spanish Dollars Discovered Nesr Here. A negro plowing ou Mr. W. W. Jones' place near here last week plowed up three old Spanish dollars. One was dated 1779 and the others were noarly as old. They were perfectly pre serve:}, The field where they wore found had been recently c'carod and had not beou cultivated for many years. Emphasixes Its Superiority. The best test of the merit of an arti clo is the way it sells. Bransford Mills, at Owensboro, Ky, where "Clifton" flour is made, run night and day, and yet they cannot supply tho demand for "Clifton." In this city, as elsewhoiv, it is the standard by which other flours are guaged, and tho statement that "it is just as good as "Clifton,"only makes its superiority the more pronouncod. T. N.

Although nearly approaching Its cen tennial anniversary, the Routh Carolina 'College Show? none of tho decrepitude .of old age, but rather Increasing slgne of vigorous lifo. A now departure of ;great Importance to tho College and to 'the State has Just boon Inaugurated. For some years tho College has hart a department Of pedagogy, for the train ing of teachers; but in ft winter, for the ? first ? time." tho Legislature created a .number of endowed normal seholar Bhlps, one for each county. It Ih the intention of the Trustees and Faculty to Bot.those scholarships upon a high plane, and to seek thereby to qualify superior young men for positions of leadership and Inllueneo in our public, schools. fJHowever largely women may be employed as teachers, the work of superlntend?n<". direction and (control I must continue t<> be most largely in the .hands of th? men: and It is to supply these teachers of leadership and In ifluence, in the community ns well as In the schools, that the College will chiefly !alin, through these scholarships. Hence, no young man under nineteen years of i age will bo oliglblo. und preference will be given to those applicants who have already taught with success for at least one year. A special and technical course of study has boon established, on a high yet practical plane; and it is intended [that this department shall be worthily 'entitled t?> l)e tolled a "College for "Teachers." All the work will be dis tinctively normal, und apart from the regular College i-lassrs. The Trustees and Faculty feel sui" that In preparing a body of strong and well equipped men teachers the College will aid In supplying one Of tho most Important needs of the state, fhey hop-, also, that this work. In its success and its results, may meid with such public ap proval as to lead hereafter to its still further enlargement. Circulars have been Issued giving the details of regulations and course ot study. The pr< S nl F03Slon, now nearly ended, has been very encouraging. Not a ripple has disturbed the Internal peace of the College. The new Presi dent has won golden opinions, and hat more than maintained the confidence and affection gained in his long service as professor. The friends of the Col* lego look hopefully forward to the con tinued success and Increased usefulness of this venerated Institution, which will sonn enter upon its second century of honoiahlo history, SOME JEWELRY FACTS.
