Mormonism.
The freaks of an insane Mormon
elder^an account'of Whose doings is
given in this issue, would be witheat
special significance did it not
foveiblj remind ns of the fact that
tfaeeet emissaries of the Danite
church are keeping everlastingly at it
in their work of proselyting our people-to
their way of thinking.
L9ce dther problems that are constantly'with
us the ubiquitous Morman
will not down and the
qoesriou of what to do with him is
|. i
one that is difficult of solution. As
9 free, independent and libertyloving
nation our people regard with
abhorrence auything taking the
form of religious persecution. And
jet when the tenets of a sect are in
direct conflict with oar ideas of law,
^morality and decency it seems that
there should be some way to put a
top to the incursions of its disciples.
to
Paradoxical as it may seem, upon
their weakness these Mormon "missionaries"
rely as their strength.
~ Their work is done quietly and systematically
along the lines of least
resistance. They avoid controversy
or disputation and thus inject the
winis of their poison where it may do
ita deadly work with little chance
iter an antidote. And, however painful
the truth may be, the Mormons
kte securing a foot hold, not only in
this county, but iu our whole State.
It is only a few years ago that a
Mormon conference was held in the
-r , city of Charleston and at that con^
' 1 11 A. I
f' terrace, we are whu, mere were r.o
.
leu than fifty elders who were 10
fMoth Carolina for the dissemination
of their doctrine. At this time
we do not doubt that the number is
f en
greater.
I
Without entering into a discussion
of the Mormon religion the fact
alone that it allows and even encourages
polygamy should be an
insuperable barrier to its spread
in, this State. South Carolina
stands second to none in her
reference for woman, bearing the
proud distinction standing along
without a divorce law in the galaxy
of States. The doctrine of Mor
Monism strikes ?t the very foundation
of her ancient ideals and cherished
traditions. It is time our
people, and above all our ministers,
awoke to the seriousness of this
propaganda. Meet these people on
*5^ their owfc battle-ground and before
the unanswerable argnmeut of the
religion of Christ the followers of
Joseph Smith and Brigham Young
mast slink away afraid and ashamed.
Gustarus Franklin Swift, President
of the Swift Packing Co., died
* y. I
in Chicago last Sunday. Mr Swift
began life as a butcher and died
leaving an estate whose estimated
value is $10,000,000.

The State Pension Board.
. c
There is now *?00,000 appropriated
to the j>ension fund and vet
notwithstanding the vast sum that
is at their disposal, the State pen- ''
eion boaid requires the county j!
pension board to insert certain notices j
in county newspapers and then o
refuses to pay for the notices, leaving v
the county boards to settle with the o
noirsnaiters the lk'ht WaV t!?PV Can, J
I~I *
which means that the members of e
the latter board have to pay the c
v
money out of their own pockets.
For a big and prosperous commonwealth
kSouth Carolina, or those who ^
administer her government, has some c
strangely niggardly ways. . a

Waltzing in South Dakota. j 1
?. !'
(From Bell Fottrehe "Bee."') j
The lit tie in form a I dancing
parties given in the Gayety from (
time to time ar^ becoming im- ,
mensely popular. The reason, |
possibly, is the innovations in- .
froduced by some ot the boys. |
Dave Broomfield has declared |
that "sitting out" a waltz is now |
more fashionable than dancing, ,
the only difference being von sit ,
instead of dance. The * man's
right arm is around the girl's
waist, while Ins leit hand hold- ,
her right. Her left hand is
placed upon Ins shoulders, while .
her head rests lovingly on his ,
manly "buzzitm" and all they ,
have to do is lo sit and listen to ,
the music. Now that is something
like it. We have always regard- *
ed it a nuisance to gallop a mile (
or two in order to get a good hug.
A room full of people, silting
around on sofas, hugging to music
is more gratifying. This will*give
the old rheumatic brethren another
chance to waltz. Most men waltz
not for the dance, but for the i
position, ajtd while a man loses
hts appetite for dancing he has
got to get mighty old before he 1
loses his appetite for hugging a
pretty girl. Belle Fonrche is always
up-to-date and this new
dance is bound to be popular here,
for we have not found a man who
is not willing to blow in a dollar
on the deal. Vet many people
wonder why we don't waltz.
ROBBED THE GRAVE.
A startling incident, i? narrated by
John Oliver of Philadelphia, as follows:
"I was in an awful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes
sunken, tongue coated, pain continually
in back and sides, no appetite,
growing weaker day by day. Three
physicians had given me up. Then I
was advised to use Electric Bitters; to
my great Joy, the first bottle made a 1
decided improvement. 1 continued
their use for three weeks, and am now (

should fail to try them. Only 50 cents,

The dash and clamor of a City
fire-company racing headlong to ,

But besides the reality of the j
text there is a story to tell which i
is pulsating with American life [

ilection of teachers, under proper
regulation*.
These courses of instruction are
iffered as supplementary to I he
work or the summer schools, or in
lieu thereof, when attendance on

Their purpose is, as in
the summer schools, to elevate
the work of leaching in the

which seems especially approprj
ate in connection with the Normal

in !lie South Carolina College,
The same circular also calls
special attention to the Normal

arpmntiiin from college lees ?
recently established bv the
Legislature in this College.
These scholarships will go into
affect next session.
Divorce is an epitaph frequently
carved on love's tombstone.
When a man's spirits are oh
ihe ebb he says he hasn't the ghost
i)l a show.
A woman asks a man's advice
ho that later on she can tell him
how little he knew.

Fortune seems to delight in
knocking at the average man's
door when lie is absent.

What to X>o.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's SwampRoot,
the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
It, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should have the
best. Sold by druggists in5Cc. and$l. sizes.
You may have a sample bottle of this
wonderful discovery fvffi*'-,
ind a book that tells
more about it, both sent
