DR. W. J. ALEXANDER.
The death of Dr. W. J. Alex
ander, which ia announced in
another column, makes a void
in the community. A personal
ity has been withdrawn which
gave strength, purity and lus
tre to everything around it. A
worthy coadjutor in the task of
life, the upbuilding of the com
munity and the people, has been
lost to us. His influence was
vast because he was a great
man, morally and mentally.
The esteem which everybody
had for him gave unusual force
to his hold upon thecommunity.
That so strong a personality has
been closed to the world, closed
suddenly while giving promise
of a long future with still great
er achievements, is cause for
universal regret and it is natu
ral that the people should la
ment the loss. It will be diffi
cult to fill his place.
It is not the Old and wise
counsel, “naught but the good
should be said of the dead”,
that prompts us to give the
highest praise to the memory of
Dr. Alexander. We knew him;
all those around us knew him—
and to know him was to know
that a better man never lived
in Darlington. As a man he
was noble, as a friend, faithful,
and as a scholar he hail few
equals in these parts. In every
relation he bore to his people,
whether of public or private
nature, he had as his only guid
ing stars honesty of purpose
and a desire to be true. These
imbued in him the highest con
ceptions of honor, which, com
bined with his great natural
ability, made him a valuable
member of the community in
which he dwelt. With his de
parture a light went out, whose
absence will be missed but
whose influence for good will
continue forever.
It was the good fortune of
him, who writes this too feeble
tribute, to have known him in
the class room, to have seen
him every day and to have
watched him under the severe
strain of moulding the minds of
the youth entrusted to his care.
How well he performed this dif
ficult task is shown in the warm
affection in which he is held by
those whom he taught. There
are many of his former pupils
throughout 8 o u t h Carolina.
These were his young friends
and they will be greatly grieved
to hear jf his death
THE NEW DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
The President on Monday ap
pointed Hon. W. PerryaVIurphy,
of Colleton county, United
States District Attorney for
South Carolina. This is the
most important federal office in
the State and the people were
naturally concerned about the
THE DISPENSARY SIGN.
If there are aoy who still
maintain that the dispensary
law does not convert the State
into a rumseller, they will cer
tainly be convinced when they
read the sign which has been
placed at the State dispensary
in Columbia. This is the way
it reads: “State Commis
sioner, Rectifier and Wholesale
Liquor Dealer.” It is said that
the sign had to be put up before
a drop of liquor could be bottled
and we presume that this is in
accordance with the United
States revenue laws. The sign
is very small and an exchange
tells us that “it is way up on
the front wall” and “is wofully
insignificant.” The State au
thorities do well to put this
little sign almost out of sight
for it points to work of which
they should not feel very proud.

HARRIS’ LITHIA SPRINGS, S. C.
After a long and varied experience in the use itf mineral waters' from many
sources, both foreign and dpmestic, I am fully persuaded that the IJarris Lith
ia Water possesses efficacy in the treatment of afflictions of the kidney and
bladder unequalled by any other water of which I have made trial.
This opinion is based upon observation of its effects on my patients for the
past three years, during which time I have prescribed it freely and almost
uniformly with benetit iq,the medicable maladies above mentioned.
When failure to relieve has occurred, I have imputed it to insufficient use
of the water, for mv experience teaches me that from one to too quarts daily
should be taken from two to four weeks, to secure its full remedial effects.

Having spent last summer days at your Springs, and having since used sev
eral cases of the Harris Lithia water, I am glad that I can bear willing testi
mony to its valuable qualities. The analysis made by Dr Doremus ought to
attract to your place many vititors, and send the water to every part of the
county . (J. W. HOLLAND,
