March 10,1898. jrr , ^ The Saluda Sentinel came to us last week in the shape of an illustrated anniversary number. The whole edirion was very creditable yy' : to the town and county of Saluda One of the laws passed by the last session of the Legislature was the separate coach bill. The act has been "hanging fire5' in the General Assembly for years and *. years, but was passed by the over whelming majority of one at the recent session. Now that the law has passed we hope that it will work well. As it provides that no discrimination shall be made in the way of accommodations for the noes therewill be no reason for complaint on the part of the colored people. I ?? V ????????? W'- 'il Besides the many reasons which t have been set forth why the farmera should raise at home all their opplies the possibility of war with Spain emphasizes that necessity. Ail food stuffs will rise in value and cotton will decline. ' Cotton has become a necessity, but it mast take a back seat as opposed x to bread and meat. Why argu V went should be necessary to convince the South that with half its present cotton crop and double ifs other products its people would he the most prosperous on the globe, is one of the greatest myste \r- ries oi the age. The crisis in the trouble between Spain and the United States has about been reached, we believe. The Spanish government las! week requested the-recall ot Consul Lee, which request was promptly Wu^ian/1 ktr Aim i*AiTA*i]mAni kiuo^u mj vui ^vTciiiiuriu. aiicii Spain requested that the supplies now being sent from United States to the starving Cubans be sent in merchant vessels instead of war ships and this request was lL- -likewise promptly refused. After the refusal of the United States to vecall Consul Lee. it was expected that Spain would have given him his passports at once, thereby forceing trouble, but Spain did nothing of the sort. ?

WALLACE AND J oil N SON 1 . t i * """ Raccoon Branch. (Dock Post office.) As 1 have never seen any "dots" i from this backwoods branch, I j would like to send you something j lrom this isolated section. We on ! this branch live 20 miles from a I railroad, 6 miles from a church J and six miles from a school house j | and are therefore, outside of the 1 world: but we nee The County ! Record every week, and that lurnishes the only light we have. There are two or three things that we wish to write about, and the fir>t is the low price of cotton. The speculators say over production is the cause of five-cents cotton, and it is the same old story every year. Now, Mr. Editor, if you will go to the depot and see how many bales was shipped from that point during 1896, and then see the number shipped last year, I'il bet there were more bales shipped in 1896 than in 1897. The cotton crop is exaggerated every year, which is delremental to the planters. I say let the cotton be counted at the gin and not by the speculators. We will never get a true statement of the production as long as it is counted as it is at present. The next thing I want to speak is this: The February term of court js just over, and Scott Mention is boarding at the u Brit ton House" at a costs of $9 per month, the tax-payers footing the bill. Why don't our law-makers make a law to put such boarders in the chaingang and ihake them pay tor their food till the next instiing term of court, when if found guil ty they can be put back on the chhingang. The next and last thing that I care to write about now is the fact that the county supervisor does not keep the roads in as good conditiod as he might, nor has he ever put tip mile posts filong the roads, and sighn-boards at every cross roads and fork, as required by law, which if done would be a great convenience to the travel ing public. ?4John Coon."

OlEOHMfl The bladder was created for one purpose, namely, a receptcle for the urine and as such it is not liable to any form of diseases except by one or two ways. The first way is from imperfect action of the kidneys. The second is from careless local treatment of other diaOOCAG CHIEF CAUSE. Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys is the chief cause -of bladder trouble. So the womb, like the bladber, was created for one purpose, and if not doctored too much is not liable to weakness or disease, except in rare eases. It is situated of and very closa to the bladder, therefore any pain, disease or inconvenience manifested in the kidneys, back, bladder, or unioary passage is often, by mistake, attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort. The error is insily made and may be as easily ivoided. To find out correctly, set rour urine aside for twenty four hours i sediment or settling indicates kidley or bladder trouble.
