AULL, Proprietors. WM. P. HOUSEAL, r NEWBERRY, S. C, " Tl!URSDAY, MAY 26, 1887. The Oconee people hiav:e raised a nice question in connection with the : honor license. Seneca is a dry town by act of the Legislature. An act of the Legislature submitting the X ' question of license to the voters of the county was passed. And at a recent election the county voted for license. Now the question arises what becomes of the special act relat itg to the town of Seneca. We desire to call attention to the article on the first page of this paper, from Dr. T. G. White, formerly of this county, on the subject of fruit i canning factories. Small enterprisesl( of this kind will pay. There are quantities of canned fruit sold right here in Newberry. We expect nearly enough is consumed right here to keep a factory on a small scale busy to supply the demand. We raise the fruit, or can do it ; we consame the canned goods. WVhy ifien send abroad for what we can profitably manufac 'ture at home ? Rev. J. Hawkins, D. D., editor of the Ldlte'un Vlsior, publishes a card in that paper this week denying the report that has been circulated to the effect that he had .made apphca tion to join the Methodist church. Ur. Hawkins has been a Lutheran all his life and has been in the Lutheran ministry for more than thirty years and it would have been late in life for him to change his church. Those who started this rumor and those who have kept it going should now see to it that no pains are spared to stop it and thus partially make amends for the injury they may haye I d one a good and useful man. cossoLIDATION EFFECTEl). As will be seen from the report ~. published elsewhere in this paper, h- he meeting of the committees of the three C's and the Georgia and Carolina Midland railroads, was held in Colum S bia the other day and an agreement of consolidation entered into which, will no do>ubt be ratified by the stockhold ers, or directors when they mee .r'he main line of the three s as we understand it will run airect to Char leson,an th Ge ~a and Carolina Midland will be a branch. WVe see no objection to this. AWe will have -connection from this road, from the lakes to the ocean. They claim to have plenty of money and resources * to complete the road, and by the articles of agreement, or resolutions adopted, tuey obligate to complete it in three years. What we want is the road. The money that has been vote'd is jbst that much given to the enter prise ;'-and we'~consider whatever * subscription we vote to railroads is so much money given to have the roads built. But even then it pays town ships and counties to vote reasonable subscriptions, for the amount thus given, pays back in the increased valuation of property, and the addi tional amount of property put in the town, or townships, or county. in con sequence of the construction of the road. The $40,000 we have already 2 -given and the $10,000 we are going to Sgive will soon repay us for the outlay ifthe roads are ever built. And we hope.to see both of them built soon. The tliree Cs will take up and pay at once all the indebtedness of the Georgia and Carolina Midland, and will begin the construction of the road within .sixty days after the con solidation is complletedi. A meeting of the stockhoiders of the Georgia and Carclina Midland railroad will be held in Columbia at Wrights IIotel on June 1st, to hear the report of the commit:ee and act on their report. Editor Watterson and the Vice-Pres Idenmey. Mr. Watterson has repiled to tile New York 11erald's nomination of him as Vice President as iollows. -Lie indulges in comment on what he considers an editors calling and gives his idea about the complexion of the ticket in '88: 7Barring the expression of personal compliment and good will, which it would be churlish to deprecate, the IIeralds Democratic no-nination for V ice President does not strike us. It has about it a lack both of practi cability and vraisemblance. It is neither relevant nor polite. The editor who is true to his calling makes every y-ear of his life a record whlich would be hurtful, if not fatal. to campaign requirements. Trhe edi:or who is fit for his calling is likely to be unfit for office, because there is bet-ween the two the princi pal of an irreconcilable antagonism; t te functions ofthe one being mainly critical, of the oth~er more or less constructive. Politics, no less than journalism, is a business to be~ Slearned by regular service and to be; chievements and honors must >nt empty vanities. The editor he Courier-Journal, had some ye go to consider the question aking office in a connection so af native and invitir.g as to compel t lecision then made to be conclusi ,n, in deciding it in the negative, lid so for all time. It is not intended by these relar o teke the Herald's pleasautr nore seriously than such badina leserves.

So, also, does remarkable increase of minist 9,694. The increase in members has been something like 408,00( year, which is at the rate of I, every day, or 40 every hour. growth of Methodism is particuh. enormous.

At the age of three months a ra.-h made its appeitrance on my face. A physician was called. le said teething was the cause, he pre scribed some coo.ing medicine, but the sores spread to my ears and head. Another 31. D. was called. He professed to know all about the case, called it "King's Evil," and pre scribed gunpowder, brimstone, a,*1 lard mixed into a salve, but the dispase continu'l. They could not do anything with it Another. prescribed borax water and flour; another, linseed poultices. None of them did me any good at all, but made me worse. The disease continued unabated; it spread to my armps and legs. till I was laid up entirely, and from continual sitting on the floor on a pillow my limbscontracted so that I lost all control of them, and was utterly helpless. My mother would have to lift n,e out and into bed. I could get around the house on my hands and feet, but I could not get my clothes on at all. and had to wear a sort of dressing gown. My hair had all matted down or fallen off, and my head, face, and ears were one scab. and 1 had to have a towel on my head all the time in the summer to keep the flies off. My parents consulted aprominent physician and surgeon here inChicago (the other physicians before mentionad were of Dundas and Ham ilton, Canada), he sa d he could do nothing ror map, that the cbances were that 1 WOUl grow out of it. or that it would strike inward y and kill me in 'iuie. He wanted to cut the sinews or my legs so that i could walk, but I would not let him, for if I did get better I would have no control of them. The disease continuo-4 in this'hianner until I was seyenteen years ol?1, and one day in January, 1S7,ir} tle t:icao Ti-ibune, 1 read an iceount o ur inedicine's.
