ROME RAMBLINGS. Personal?Reflections on the Old Regime and the New. Rome, June 12:?Home-coming of our boys and girls,some from school ) and some teaching school, gives us much pleasure. Those from school are: Misses Louise and Annie Wilson, Columbia college; Amy Eaddy, Florence Hemingway, Winthrop; Laura Yates, Linwood, N C; Ethel Johnson, Southern Presbyterian college; Messrs Pressley Thomas, Charleston Medical college; Charley Thomas, University of South Carolina. Teachers at home are: Misses Iva Eaddy, Pomaria; Pearl Eaddy, Trio; Marie Eaddy, Carver's Bay; Emmie Swan, Indiantown; Mr EuYfltpe: Winnshoro. Of those I from school,the following graduated and are now ready to take their places in the world to try to make it better for their having lived in it: Misses Louise Wilson, Amy Eaddy, Florence Hemingway and! Laura Yates. How these graduates do multiply, two or three every year from this little place. So many that it is hard for us old folk to keep up with them. What a difference from the old day. Like Bill Arp,"I like to ruminate on the things of the past and compare them with the progress and rush of the present." The old-time economy of the plantation was the economy of waste. Two servants to each white person was considered moderate and reasonable. In a fam* ily of eight or ten, with numerous V visitors and some poor kin, there were generally a head cook and her assistant, a chamber maid, a seamstress, a maid or nurse for every daughter and a little "nig" for eve\ ry son, whose business was to trot around after him and up hunt mischief. Then there were the stable man,the carriage driver, the gardener and the dairy woman and two or three little darkies to drive up the cows and mind the calves while the milking was done, and so on. But the good old plantation days are gone. The times have wonderfully changed since then,some things for the better, some for the worse. The old aristocracy is passing away. , Some of them escaped the general wreck that followed the ,-ar and . have illustrated by their energy and - liberality the doctrine of the survival of the fittest, but their name is not legion. A new and hardier stock has come to the front. That class which prior to the war was under a cloud is now seeing its better days. The pendulum has swung to the other side. The result of the war made an opening for them and developed their energies. With no high degree of culture, they nevertheless proved equal to the struggle up the rough 1 * hill of life and now play an important part in running the financial machine. Their practical energy has been followed by thrift. They have proved to be our best farmers and most prosperous merchants and mechanics and considered the solid men of the State and have contributed largely to the building up of our schools, churches, etc?a class who form a most striking contrast to the stately dignity and aristocratic repose of the grand old patriarchs and statesmen ' whose beautiful homes adorned the hills and groves of the old South ; some fifty years ago. But the chil- i dren of the old patricians have come 1 down some and the children of the common people have come up some. They have met upon a common plane ] and are now working happily together both in social and business 1 life. Spirit and blood have united J with energy and muscle and it makes . ^ a splendid team, the best all-round 1 team the South ha$ ever had. < From this race has sprung the great educational boom that is now agitating our State from the moun- ] tains to the sea. Who can see the ] end? Education, refinement and * thrift going hand in hand. What a glorious future our boys and girls are fitting themselves for to keep i step with this onward rush.

Crashes Into Sour Bile, Making You Sick and Yon Lose a Day's Work. Calomel salivates! It's mercury. Calomel acts like dynamite on a sluggish liver. When calomel comes into contact with sour bile it crashes into it, causing cramping and nausea. If you feel bilious, headachy, constipated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a 50 cent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone,which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without making you sick, vou just go back and get your money. If you take calomel today you'll be sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides it may salivate you, while if you take Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great, full of ambition and ready for work or play. It's harmless, pleasant and safe to give to children; they like it. Salters Sittings. Salters,June 14:?MrsW H Melntire and children have returned to MariDoro, aner a pieasam- visu wj i relatives here. | We are pleased to note that Mr " Everett David, who has been quite ~ sick for some time, is improving. Miss Mary B Heyward has returned home to spend her vacation. Miss Lillian C Salters, who has been teaching in the Clinton school the past term, is at home for the summer. Mr F L Richardson went to Georgetown last week on business. Miss Emmie Ferrell is visiting friends and relatives at Florence this week. The hot, dry weather prevailing during the past week has made the crops grow considerably and improvement is noted all along the line, but still there is room for much more. Rev W I Sinnott is at Sumter this week attending the meeting of Harmony presbytery, called on important business. It fills our hearts with sorrow tp note the sad death of Mrs W S Boyd, a lady of noble Christian character and bright, sunny disposition. She made warm friends wherever she went. Her remains were laid to rest Sunday afternoon in the Richmond church cemetery near Greelyville in the presence of a large concourse of friends. Our deepest sympathy goes I out to the bereaved ones in this sore affliction. Mrs B A Hearsey and little son of Vin/mfvaa ova irieitinn1 frianda Kara IVUi^Otl HI t KI01WIU5 llivuug 11V1V. this week.

The public endorsement of a local citizen is the best proof that can be I produced. None better, none strong- 5 er can be had. When a man comes | forward and testifies to his. fellow- I citizens, addresses his friends and I neighbors, you may be sure he is 1 thoroughly convinced or he would | not do so. Telling one's experi- | ence when it is for the public good | is an act of kindness that should be fe appreciated. The following state- | ment given by a resident of King stree adds one more to the many cases of home endorsement which are being published about Doan's Kidney Pills. Read it. W K Mcintosh, prop tobacco warehouse, Main St, Kingstree, says: "Several years ago my kidneys were iisordered, and I suffered from dull pains in the small of my back. I was sore and lame and had head aches and dizzy spells. I tried different medicines, but without success, until friends recommended Doan's Kidney Pills. They cured me." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy?get Doan's Kidney Pills?the same that Mr Mcintosh had. Foster-Milburn 3o, Props, Buffalo, N Y.
