AS TO THE COUtt HOUSE SQUARE.
A Correspondent Takes Issue With
Grand Jury Presentment.
Editor County Kecokd:?I notice
in your last issue that the Grand
Jury'a attention had been called to
the condition of the pubiic square
around" the court house; so they
"reccOmmend that in future it be not
used as a horse lot."
Now, tnere is always someone ready
to block the wheels of progress.
I don't know as to the law of the
matter, but I do know that if it is
discontinued as a "horse lot" it
will seriously inconvieuence a lot of
poor farmers. I kuow that we can
hitch in Wilkins' lot (may his shadow
uever be less!) and some few
may get their stock in the various
stables; but how about the farmer
who comes 20or 23 miles on a "big"
day when the above-mentioned places
are filled, and must get back home
, the same night?must he stop out
of town near the cemetery and ask
permission of Mr Epps to stake his
mule on his premises?
Itseems natural that the Board of
Health should have a say in the
matter, but if it is public property,
the tax-payiug farmers should have
a say too.' Give us a well-fixed-up
lot near the business section of
town, or build one hundred stalls
at the rear of the court square, facing
court house, with a walk of ten
feet between stalls and rear fence,
with concrete floor, then balance of
square could be turned into a thing
of beauty and a joy forever.
We'farmers are more interested
in good roads than in public parks.
As to the reference to the court
house square in Spartanburg w% are
a)t acquainted as to the conditions,
but think tnat Spartanburg is a
richer county than Williamsburg.
We farmers don't want any more
$ . annexes to the court bouse, no more
steel bridges, nor pnblic parks, until
every public road in the county
is in apple-pie order.

REUNION OF CO. I 26TB. S C. V.
#
Held at Scraaton on the Fourth ot
July
^ScRANTON, July 5:?Reunion of
company I 26th S C V, with many
veterans of other commands was
held at this place today. The
veterans assembed at the depot
where the roll was called by
. the secretary, many answering to
same, after which they marched to
a grove in front of the Freewill
Baptist church, where they stood in
line while Rev Mr Henry, pastor of
the M E church,led them in a long and
earnest prayer. At the close of the
prayer Miss Bertie Collins of Florence
emerged from the throng of
spectators and being assisted to a
stand that had been previously erected,
with the most beautiful and tender
pathos,delivered a selection prepared
especially for the occasion, which all
agreed was the most beautiful feature
of the meetiug. After this
Messrs W R Singletary, John W
Lynch and M MBravebov very ably
addressed their comrades. M C
Collins of Florence was then called
and he also very ably addressed the
* veterans. The veterans and spectators'then
divided up in groups
and partook of the abundance of
eatables and refreshments prepared

of the most vital questions before
the people of this country will hare
been solved," declared Wm J Bryau
yesterday at a banquet given in his
honor by Dr Sol C Dickey, president
of Winona Lake Assembly.
"President Roosevelt and others
are now bringing to a successful issue
the principles and ideas I advocated
17 years ago," Mr Bryan continued.
"This is particularly true
as regards the tariff. The president
is compiling my future speeches for
me." '
Mr Bryan took a fling at the President's
cabinet, saying that there
was not a man in it who agreed with
Roosevelt. Referring to the controversy
between the United States
and Japan Mr I'.yran, who, during
his trip around the world visited the
Eastern Empire, said a little more
backbone at Washington would settle
the difficulties for all time to
come without a conflict between the
two nations.

the Stomach, Heart or Kidneys, are
merely symtoms of a deeper ailment.
Don't make the common error of treating
symtoms only. Symtom treat men
is treating the result of your ailment,
and not the cause. Weak stomach
nerves?the inside nerves? means
stomach weakness, always. And the
Heart, and kidneys as well, have their
controlling or inside nerves. Weaken
these nerves, and you inevitably have
have weak vital organs. Here is where
Dr. Shoop's Restorative has made its
fame. No other remedy even claims
to treat the "inside nerves." Also for

~ "*.7 ?ri Notice.
I have made a careful study of the
conditions existing with respect to the
petitions filed with me asking for an
election on the question of "Dispensary"
or "No Dispensary," and I find
as follows: There are 5107 names on
the books of Registration. Some of
these I know to be dead, some removed
from the county, and other names
appear more than once. The petitions
tiled with me contain 866 names,
some of whom I know are not qualified
electors. The law requires that the
petitions should be signed by at least
one-fourth of the qualified electors of
the county. This being so, therefore,
as at present advised, I have to refuse
to order the election, However,
should I hereafter become satisfied
that the petitions contain a sufficient
number of proper signatures, the election
will be promptly ordered.

DOG POINTED A LION.

All Gam* Looked AI ike to Thia Plucky
Little Fox Terrier.
The following incident is perfectly
true and absolutely unique:
As a member of a colonial mount- ^
ed corps, the British South Africoj*
police of Mashonaland, Rhodesia, 9
S)uth Africa, it fell to my lot in q
April, 1903, to enumerate for offi- P
cial statistics the white residents of
Rusapi district, which is 180 miles
southeast of Salisbury, the capital,
and sixty-four miles west of Umtali,
near the Portuguese border. It
was upon my return journey to the main
camp that the following dog
incident occurred:
On the 18th day of April about p
4 p. m. I reached an outlying farmi
it. ? .1 p
flOUSO ClOSe to Hie muwajf auu iu
the vicinity of very suggestive look- p
itig hills. As I knew the owner, 1
decided to outspan there for the P
night. My horse having been sent
to water with a native boy, the p
farmer and I entered the house. In b
a few minutes a Mashona herd boy
dashed in unceremoniously, crying: *
"Baas! Baas! A lion is down near /
the cattle!" After questioning the h
boy, who was much excited, we set a
off, accompanied by a fox terrier,
and upon arriving where the cattle c
were grazing we at once found his q
majesty's spoor (track), which we n
followed until lost on the hard ?
ground. f
After searching the most likely
places we gave up hope of finding 1
him and, turning about, headed for ^
hsme. After crossing a vlei (open
grass land) we entered a thick bush
and proceeded a short distance.
Then I missed the dog and, looking
back, descried him pointing in the
orthodox style, the hair on his back f
fiercely bristling and body as rigid t
as a statue. Retracing my footsteps t
and looking over the bushes where c
he was, imagine my complete surprise
to behold a magnificent lion, *
full length, with face toward me, ^
barely fifteen paces off. At sight of r
me he growled softly, and then I c
shouted, "There he is!" But by
the time my friend had run up and j
I had recovered from my surprise ]
the lion was bounding off, much to
the chagrin of^ my friend. The bush
was thick, and we had to fire at ran
dom, and he got clear away.
Needless to say a few choice epithets
were slung at me by the other
fellow, but it all happened very j
quickly, and I was totally unprepar- |
ed for such a close view. Moving y
around behind the bushes, we found <
the skin and entrails of a sheep, \
which had been devoured, bearing 1
out the statement that the lion will 1
not eat the intestines of his prey. ]
All this time the dog was jumping i
around and at last started off on i
the trail, and we had a hard job to 1
get him back. The evening was f
getting dark, and we had no wish 1
to meet the lion among the bush in
the dark. After reaching home the
farmer placed some strychnine on a a
piece of meat and placed it on the t
veldt, but our visitor did not return c
that night. 1
It is not often a dog has the op- t
portunity to point such royal game. r
Talking about dogs, I remember | r
seeing an Irish terrier rout out a _
hedgehog, and there ensued a ter- g
rific onslaught, ending in the death fc
of the spiney one and leaving Box- j
er, the terrier, full of quills, which ,
I plucked, much to his discomfort.

No Infallible Success Rulaa.
Power to see the future has a certain
place in business, an exceedingly
humble one, however. It is employed
professionally by 6ome la- dies
and gentlemen at an averagt .
price of about a dollar a sitting.
They can 6ee things afar off, but
not the landlord who is coming up
the stairs to throw them out or the
policeman who is coming around
the corner to run them in. Prescience
and clairvoyance have no 9
place in the equipment of men who are
able to make a living in less i
hazardous and persecuted callings, I
?>ays Will Payne in Everybody's. '
There are plenty of infallible rule9
for success. Some men who ^iave
succeeded are rather fond of lay- c
ing them down for the guidance of
the young, but nobody, least of all
their authors, ever infallibly sue- =
ceeded by them.
