Hoyt last Saturday at his home in Greenk tille removes from South Carolina journalism one of its ablest expo< nents. A man of broad culture and the soul of honor, he .was liberal in I . his views; but his stern and uncom* promising sense of duty made him an adversary to be feared whether in the forum of debate or in the columns of a newspaper. In him burned the pure fires of patriotism and in *61 when argument was thrown to the winds before the inevitable conflict he showed a skill and readiness in using the sword not ? lest conspicuous than thatpiimariij demonstrated in wielding tliej i V to-calkdmightier pen. Col. Hoyt was a newspaper man f~- forjovc of that calling. Beginning hit apprenticeship when a lad of fourteen he became in a few years editor of a sheet and thereafter con>1 tinned to be a maker of newspapers E-jf throughout his useful and honorable WTOl. ||; Len than two weeks ago he was a prominent figure in the State Coa| rention being elected as a delegate to the National convention from his 8k district On that occasion the wrir ter hereof had from him a hearty hand-shake and a pleasant word of greeting. Little did we think that in oo short a while his hand would he stilled and his lips cold and silent iv in death. r May he rest in peace! "Worse than Texas." In Lingstree the pistol-"toters" |l . ^ seem to hold despotic sway and with none to molest pursue thej ^ even tenor of their way. Night after night they explode their "shoots ing-irons", utilizing as targets anything their vagrant fancy ch&Bces to P': settle upon, whether the object be * animate or inanimate, and the ff deadly missile goes after it regard* i. lees of consequences. | * So bold and reckless have become; i' dr-nerhtr WniorVi+jj of t.hf> nim- ! 8k Vie pistol that they hare taken to practicing upon unoffending citizens ?trying to pick them off the piazzas rf their dwellings. Some days since ? several guests were seated on the porch of the Hemingway Hotel i when the crack of a revolver was beard a few hundred feet away and ;*.~t a bullet passed just over their heads, striking a door that opened out upon I the piazza. One of the guests, a i \ traveling man and a stranger, ex'?" claimed that this community was "worse than Texas", and certainly that State is in sad plight if rampant jr lawlessness stalks abroad within its Ff' borders as impudently as here. To residents of the town this hooting within the corporate limits r. has become so common that it ceases W"'' R, K to attract attention and our large stock of good-nature and forbearance continues to tolerate it so long as no one is actually killed or hurt. But ! for all that it is growing uionotoInous, this pistol practice, and stringent measures should betaken looking to the protection of law-abiding citizens from the miscreants who under cover of darkness prow) about wilfully defying the law and endangering the lives of their fellow-men. Obituary. Mis Marv Elizabeth Camliu died at her home near Harpers, S. C. February 10,1904. She was in her 64th year. She juined the Methodist church, South, when a girl and ; soon afterwards was converted. She was married to W S Cam 1 in, Sr., who served his county (Williamsburg) as representative in the Lower House for some time. To this union were born nine children, four of whoni have gone before, and live t ? 1 are sun wicn us?iuur suu? mm win* daughter. These with Brother Camlin are left to mourn their loss. Mrs Cam 1 in was an intense sufferer for many many long years. She had a spell of fever years ago from which she never fully recovered, and about fifteen years ago her cheek bone was broken and her person otherwise badly bruised in a cyclone which swept house and almost every thing on the place away. For weeks she hung between life and death and even the physician said she must die. But in this shattered state she survived only to be a cripple and live an invalid's life. The writer kuew her personally for several years. Her faith was strong und her hope was bright through'the years. She was on speaking terms with the Master. She ofteu talked to her children abonther conversion. It was clear. She didn't complain, but bore her affliction with Christian grace. A kind friend, loving wife and trne mother is no more with us. She often expressed herself as being ready to go when the Master called. When she realized that the end i was near she called the children to her and said: "Take care of your father. You all must live in peace and brotherly love". Then repeated the words: "Bless the Lord 0 my soul and ali that is with in me, bless His Holy name", and raising her hands as in triumph she soon passed into sleep. Rev. J. B. Weldok. TRIUMPHS OF MODERN SURGERY. Wonderful things are done for the human body by surgery. Organs are taken out and scraped and Kolished and put back, or they may e removed entirely; bones are spliced; pipes take the place of diseased Mictions of veins; antiseptic dressings are applied to wounds, bruises, burns and like injuries before inflammation sets in, which causes them to heal without maturation and in one-third the time required by the old treatment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts on this same principle. It is an antiseptic and when applied to such injuries^ causes them to heal very quickly. It also allays the pain and soreness. Keep a bottle of Pain Balm in your home and it will save vou time and money, not to mention the inconvenience and suffering which such injuries entail.

He applied Chamberlain's Pain Balm freely and says it is the best liniment he ever used. Mr Babcock is a well known citizen of North Plain, Conn.
