Peace.
Beaufoht. Decemhrr r>- Col.
William Ki.iott died at midnight
while out?:i a Uitck hunting trip. |
He went Tin-.-day to the quarantine
station, on Saint Helena feenud, and
after a successful day's hunting
yesterday spent Wednesday evening
with the (jtarantine official, sitting
before an open fire. Shortly before
retiring he was attacked with acute
iDdiirestio.. and after a few .moments
tiled. The body was brought to
Beaufort ti.is afternoon. The funeral
service* will be held at Saint
Heleua church, though i.o definite
arrangements have been made. Col.
Elliott came down from , Washington
Friday and has been hunting in
the vicinity since, apparently iD
good health and in good spirits.
* William Elliot was born in Beau.
fort in 1837, the son of the iiev.
S'ephen Elliotc. After preparation
at Beaufort collage he went to Harvared
university, and afterwards to
the University of Virginia. In 1861
he was admitted to the bar in
Charleston. At the breaking out of
tKe war he wys appointed on Gover
9 >r Pickens* staff, and soon after enlisted
as 1st iietitenant under Capt. j
Burnet tihett.in the Brooks'artillery, j
Aftel considerable service in the!
Virginia campaigns he was made
' assistant adjutant general on the
staff of General Stephen D. Lee and
served in Yidcsburg during the
*iege. At the close of the war he
tad risen to 'lie rank ot brigadier j
genem".
During .he last war of the war j
he married Miss Isabel Barnwell of j
Beaufort. She died four dears later,
i
leaving oue daughter, wjm married
Mr W B Smith WhaUy, of Charleston.
At the close of the war he began
the practice of law in Beaufort aod
entered npon those political activities
thai made up so large a part of his J
career. In be was elected in-j
teudaut of Beaufort aud member of
the legislature. Iu 1876 aud 1SS8
he served as delegate to the national
Democratic convention.During these
years the Democratic par y in Beaufort
conntv and in the 1st Congressional
district was having a stormy
' fe. Mr. Elliott directed the con -1
test in this COUDty, acting as chairman
of the county excutive committee,
for many years and uutil his
election to the 50th Congress. He
was re-elected to the 52nd Congress
and received the certificate of election
to the 53d Congress, but was
unseated bv the house. He was
" I
given Ae certificate of election to {
the 54th Congress, but was unstated
' June 4, 1896, and the seat was given
to the Republican opponent He
was elected to the 55tb, 56th and
57th Congresses. In 1902 he ran
for the senate and was defeated iu a
closely fought contest, after which
he practiced law in Columbia.
Three years ago he was appointed
by the president to locate and number
the grumes of the Confederate
dead, and was engaged in this workup
to the time of his death, having
just returned from a trip to the
Mississippi Valley. While in congress
he was successful in furthering
the harbor improvements at
Georgetown and Charleston, and
was chiefly instrumental in having
the government establish the naval
station at Port 1 loyal.
A tickling cough, from any cause,
is quickly stopped by Dr Shoop's
Cough Cure. Aud it is so thorough
lv harmless and safe, that Vr snoop
tells mothers everywhere to give it
without hesitation, even to very
young babps. The wholesome green
leaves and tender stems of a lung?
healing mountainous shrub, furnish
the curative properties to Dr Shoop's
Cough Cure. It calms the cough,
and heals the sore and sensitive
bronchial membranes. No opinm,
no chloroform, nothing harsh used
to injure or surpress.Simply a resinous
plant extract, that helps to
heal aching lungs. The Spaniards
call this shrub which the Dr uses,
"The Sacred Herb." Always demand

TENDRILS.
Moving Parts Which Are ths ""Brains i
of Plant Lift."
There are two classes of plants ,
which are incited by man s presence
to describe certain definite movements
One claas, the sensitive
plants, retract their leaflets as we
Ipproach them, as if they resented
any attempt at closer intimacy,
while the ?ther class, comprising ail
those vines which develop climbing j
organs called tendrila, will reach1
out toward U9 if we place our hands
in contact with them and will .even
I use a finger as a support to climb
upon. We know that these tendrils 1
will wind just as readily about a
twig or a grass atem, but as -one
feels these sensitive strands multiply
their encircling coils about one'6 '
fingers there almost seems to be e&- i
tablishcd between ue and the vege- j
table world a more intimate rela- i
tionship tlian lias evvr existed before.
Tendrils are indeed capable of
exhibiting faculties and goine
through evolutions more wonderful
perhaps than many of us realize.
It is only after we have seen thena
at work, testing with their sensitive
tips the objects they come in con
tact with, apparently considering
their suitability as a support and
then accepting or rejecting them,
as the case may be?it is only then
that we realize how justly they have
been called the "brains of plant
life.", _ I
The thoroughness with which
these wandering tip^explore their
surroundings is illusfrated bv an in- j
stance 1 observed in a grapevine
tendril. A cherry branch whose,
leaves had been variously punetured
and scalloped by insects hung near
the tendril, and a particular leaf j
had just one small hole in its blade.
not'over three-sixteenths of an inch \
in diameter. So careful had been
the exploration of the leaf's surface j
that this bne small hole had been j
discovered by the tendril, which had j
thrust itself nearly three inche#!
through the opening. ? Harper's

A Tart Old Lady.
In Indiana a good many year? j
ago a eerlain old lady, summoned
a< a witness, came into court wearing
a large poke bonnet, such as
was then much affected by rural
folkf. Her answers to the questions
put to her being rather indistinct,
the court requested her to
speak louder, though without much
success.
"The court cannot hear a word ,
x-ftti c iv mv vnrul woman." said the i
judge. "Please to take off that
huge bonnet of yours."
"Sir," she said composedly and
distinctly enough this time, "the
court has a perfect right to bid
a gentleman take off his hat, but it
has no right to make a lady remove
her bonnet"
"Madam," replied the judge, "you
seem so well acquainted with the
law that I think you had better
come up and take a seat with us on
\.r.nnk ?
ill C UViivu.
"I thank your honor kindly," she
responded, dropping a low courtesy
to the court, "but there are old
women enough there already."?

Don't Speak to Your Horso.
Caress must promptly reward
performance and the voice be never
used?the horse does not understand
your words, and if you are
angry your tones will only further
disconcert him?while if you are
eternally talking to him you simply
render him careless and inattentive.
Caress the spot you have just addressed
nor think that he understands
a pat on the neck as reward
for something he has just done with
his hind quarters. Go direct to the
spot, and where two parts have been
addressed caress them both, aa in
backing, the bind quarters and the
sides where the legs came, etc.?
and do the same thing in bitting.
Do not pat the . neck if you asked
him to yield his jav. "Don't reward

Corruption of Namn.
The name of Ai plecrcss, the old
Eoss-shire seat of the Mackenzie?,!
is a modern corruption of Abercrosan,
meaning "at the mouth of the
Crosan," the little river which there
flows into the Atlantic. The names
of many places in Scotland have un- |
dergone changes as curious and
confusing. The thousands of travelers
who weekly alight at the fine sta- j
tion of St. Enoch, in Glasgow (called
alter the neighboring church), no
doubt identify the name in some
vague way with the patriarch
Enoch, mentioned in an early chapter
of Genesis. It is really a corrupted
form of St. Thenog, or Thenaw,
who was the mother of Kentigern,
Glasgow's first bishop and patron
saint and who ia the subject
of as quaint a legend ag any to be
found in mediaeval 6acred history.

UNION GKADED SCHOOL
Pleasant Entertalnmed to Be GI?en
on December 20RHEMS,
December 6:?At the
last meeting of the Francis Marion
Literary Society the members
thought that it would be best to
close the society until after the holidays
because the weefc following i
would embrace examinations and the
follow-in? Friday would be needed l
to practice for tiie approaching entertainment.
A remarkable pupil entered our
school last Monday morning. He is
a man very near middle age and after
preaching for fifteen years has
decided to try aud obtain an education,
so for the first time in life he
sat in the school-room last Monday.
He entered the sixth grade, having
studied at h'?me for all the educa
tion he has obtained. We honor
and respect a man of such noble
purpose and determination.
We are in the midst of our examinations
this week and without a
doubt shall be glad when the last
one is finished Friday.
On Monday Mr J L Cook, lecently
returned from his studies in New
York,and Mr Kirkland Cockfield, a
member of the Senior class of Johnsonville
Graded school, visited our
school. Also Hon. Josiah Doar,
superintendent of education from '
Georgetown, was with us Tuesday)
aud Wednesday. Mr Doar is a fre !
nnent visitor and one we always;
1
welcome with intense pleasure. On
this occasion he gave us a delightful ,
address replete with humor, as,only I
he can give. All visitors are cordi- (
ally welcome at all tini^s by teachers |
and pupils. ,
For the night of December 20,
there has been planned one of the
most notable entertainments ever
held in the history of onr school.
The programme as has been arranged
is varied and elaborate throughout, j
Those who come will be made- ac- i
quainted with the effect of "Wo-;
man's Suffrage*' by means of one of ;
the plays. "Under the Greenwood !
Xtee," a play for the Christmas'
times will also l?e given. Besides
instrumental solos, daets and trios,
there will also be two vocal quartettes
and two dialogue-duets simi
lar in spirit to the one so popular
?nitim(.niioniAnt A very happy.

entertaining and elevating evening
is promised to all. An admission
fee of 25 cents will be charged.
Reserved seats 35 cents, the prodeeds
for the benefit of the school.

Whenever you feel that your
stomach has gone a littlo wrong, or
when yon feel that it is not in good
order as is evidenced by mean headaches,
nervonsiiess, bad breath, belcntng,
take something at times, and
especially after your meals until ielief
is afforded. There is nothing
better offered the public today for
stomach troubles, dispepsia, indigestion,
etc., than Kodol. This is a
scientific preparation of inCural d gestants
combined with vegetable
acids aud it contains the same juices
found in any healthy stomach.
Kodol is .guaranteed to give relief.
It is pleasant to take; it will make
you feel fine by digesting what yon

Rheumatism
I hare found a tried and tested core for Bheo>
tnatlcn! Not a remedy that will straighten the |
distorted limbs of chronic cripples, nor ran Dony >
growths back to flfsh again. That is impossible.
But I can now surely kill the pains and panes of
this deplorable disease.
In Germany?with a Chemist in the City of
barmstadt? I found the last ingredient with
which Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Remedy was made
a perfected, dependable prescription. Without
that last Ingredient. I successfully treated many,
many cases of Rheumatism; but now. at last, it uniformly
cures all curable cases of this heretofore
mach dreaded disease. Those sand-like granular
wastes, found in Rheumatic Blood, seem to dissolve
and pass away under the action of this remedy as
freely as does sugar when added to pure water
And then, when dissolved, these poisonous wastes
freely pa*? from the system, and the cause of
Rheumatism is gone forever. There is now no
real no actual excuse to suffer longer without
help. Wo sell- ana in confidence recommend
