We regret that owing to the illness t
of Senator E C Epps, our esteemed ?
Legislative correspondent, we are
i deprived of his final communication *
, j describing at first hand the stirring ?

' the closing hours. Along with scores Q
' | of his other friends hope to see Sen- ^
*; ator Epps out again fully restored J ^

i So far as we could determine
, from the fragmentary reports of the' (i
Legislative doings that \^ere printed; t
A . j
n the daily papers, the Williams)urg
delegation, both in the House
ind in the Senate, stood for ecojiony
all the way through. Messrs
Chandler, Graham and Epps were
here until the curtain rolled down
md the lights went out.
Mr W I Nexsen has acquired the
>wnership of the valuable lot at
Southwest Main and Academy
treets. The purchase price, accordng
to our information, was $4,500.
lumor says that the owner will erect
hereon a modern modern mercantile
ind hotel building?a structure that
vill be in keeping with the valuable
ite and the spirit of "Greater
Cmgstree."
We Jiave received a report of the
leath' tf^lady from a correspondent
it Wc in. The letter bears no
ignati except that it comes from
i friend. ' Again we re-iterate that
ve are ndc permitted to publish any
;ind of letter or communication
irithout knowing who the writer is.
This rule applies to all; so if you
lon't want to sign your name save
our stamps.
Correspondents must furnish their
eal nafnes with every letter, no
natter how often they write. "Roseiud"
does all right to appear in
rint, but we must know for our
irotection who he or she is. Also
re must again remind corresponents
that their letters should be
rotten on one side of paper only,
t delays the type-setter to have
opy written on both sides of the
heet, especially When pages are eratically
numbered.
In justice to the restaurant prorietors
in town, we feel it our duty
o state that, according to our best
iformation, the oysters that caused
itomaine pqisoning in Mr Gaskins'
ase, as mentioned in our Lake City
orrespondence, were not fresh oysers,
but cove or canned oysters.
Ve make this explanation lest unounded
prejudice should be formed
gainst our local purveyors of the
ittcious bivalve, who are very careul
to serve only the kind that are
ot only fresh but above suspicion,
0 far as wqfhave ever heard. It is
lso gratifying to hear that the vie- i
im of the ptomaine poisoning is \
onvalescent, or nearly so.
A Teacher of the Old School.
Mr J J Brown, Sr, of Florence is
1 town this week visaing relatives.
Ir Brown is a type of the old-time
:hooI-master, who taught anywhere
rom 9 to 14 hours a day and never I
eard of phonics, calisthenics, Del- (
arte and all the other fads and
isms" that mark the modern "proessor."
Undefc the old field methyls,
by the way, were produced such
itellectual giants as Calhoun, Webter,
Clay and all the rest of that
right galaxy of stars that irradiatd
the nation's capital and commandd
the applause of listening Senatrs.
Mr Brown has just returned from
n extended trip to Alabama and
"lorida, where be lingered pleasant-;
r among kindred and friends new '
nd old.

The Birmingham Age-Herald
lakes the following note of Mr '
Irown's visit to that city:
J J Brown, father of Robert A j
irown and a brother-in-law of;
layor Culpepper Exum, is spending
le holidays in Birmingham with
elatives. He is from South Carona,
where he is extensively identi- |
ed with the development of that
tate. j !
Mi Brown has been much inter- ,
3ted in the city of Birmingham and
istrict, a great deal of which has
een shown him during the past few i
ays by Mayor Exum and Robert
Irown.
"I am very much impressed with (
he vitality of this city and the prosects
for the future," he said yeserday."
Few other cities have
iven me the same impression of
reatness as Birmingham. The city
> wonderful for its years, and I am
leased to see it has eclipsed some of
he older cities of the South. Birningham
is abundantly blessed with
hose elements of nature which go
nake up a great industrial center,

ity equal to Pittsburg in every way.
Jirmingham has been toasted by
:very city in America, I believe, ons
he wonderful showing made in the
:ensus reports. If any one comes
lere not only is he impressed with |
he tact that Birmingham deserves
very bit of the returns, but it is
he almost unanimous opinion that
ven half has not been told. I am
rery enthusiastic over the prospects j
lere. The people here are real huslers
and the kind that are preservng
the finer instincts of the South.

Is one of the easiest rooms to make pretty, and one
of the most important.
The dainty whiteness makes for that1 cleanliness
which is the first and greatest requisite for a baby's
health. Besides, prettiness is the only fit surrounding
for any child. "
*
You need a chiffonier and bureau In white enamel (perhaps
we can show you how to do orer your present pieces) a
good brass or iron crib with sides high enough to keep baby
from falling, a rocking chair, straight back chair and small
table, also in white. These with a pretty rug, dainty wall
paper, and muslin curtains, complete the room.
Be careful to get a STEARNS & FOSTER
mattress, for it is the best. To a child, good sleep
mwins or nod health. V sturdv bodv. a fresh, retentive
mind. Even nervousness is often due to lack of
,really sound sleep. Get a STEARNS 6c FOSTER

back without a word.?$3.45 to $11.25.
