HEED CREEK SPRINGS.
Klngstree Citizen's Glowing Description
Thereof.
Editor County Record:?
Two weeks have died since I began
the story of my visit to Reed
Creek Springs, and as I am two
weeeks nearer my end, I shall resume
that story lest it become stale
in the minds of those who have
never been there, but would like
to go.
'Tis a great pity that these waters,
so rich in nature's curative
remedies and so burdefted with healing
properties, have never been advertised,
that those who -jire every
summer seeking health might know
that their opportunity lies at their
very door. From my own home
town all one has to do, is to buy a
ticket for SI.80 and you will be
landed at this resort where you can
begin life again. The hotel is spacious
for the patronage it receives,
there being only about thirty rooms,
including baths?but it is not spacious
enough for the patronage it
ought to receive.
Among the many comers and
goers while I was there, I made
many new friends and among this
number are those annual visitors
who go there for the great benefit
they receive, and after listening to
* their story, and from the experience
and benefit my wife and I received,
I can not do otherwise than lift my
voice at an angle calculated for disA
tance and loudness in its praise. We
came away with our mouths full of
harmony and our souls gushing out
with gratitude, feeling much as astronomers
who have discovered a
now nlanet. with the advantage with
us, not the astronomers, making us
feel full of citified airs, that ate into
Our very vitals. m
Here, at these charming springs,
there is a song in every heart, even
in the heart of him who doesn't
sing, and there's cheer in every face
and a spring in every step.
Life to one before coming here
seems hollow and monotonous and
existence but a burden. On going
away one feels like singing Tom
Sawyer's Buffalo Gals. If you go
there with a sore toe and apply the
yellow cream of^that water to that
sore, it's well in a day. If you go
there with sorrows put down in long
division and multiplied by nine
figures, when you come away you'll
feel like you have paid passage to
the Panama exposition with new inspirations
continually bursting upon
you with a skip, hop and a jump
and considering yourself a steamboat
drawing fifteen feet of water.
Yes, you'll think yourself a steamboat
and captain with engine and bell 8
thrown in. Go there and you'll
find 100 per cent of these statements
true. If you feel like a dismantled
hero, stript of all honors, go there
and you'll be reinstated. If you
feel like a dead cat, or a dried persimmon,
go up there and you will

mountain and a mountain into rivers
and rivers into a continent and
war into peace. These waters restore
your bad feelings into norrpal
and'soothe the soul like the spell
that is in the murmur of the sighing
pines. These springs have been the
mecca for ailers for over one hundred
years. I would utter this incantation?who
hasn't been here
before, come, and whoever is here,
stay here if you can and enjoy health,
but leave behind your heavy woes,
> ' long complaints and your dogged
meanness, and when you're there a
little while you'll be no longer infatuated
with patent nostrums and
all new and old methods of producing
health or mending it. Go there
gnce and you'll be an easy victim
to go again.
That spring, speaking metaphorically,
is an angel of healing and
the balm of Gilead to suffering humanity.
Mr Editor, these waters
are not a cure all, nor a raiser of
the dead, but dyspepsia, malaria,
lassitude, eczema and many other
ill will be snubbed out of you as
with a coarse file, though you be as
dismal as a hearse. But these conditions
must be complied with: Leave
your pain-killer at home and come
with as hearty an interest in your
coming welfare as if you had fire
built under you, and when you go
back home takev all your patent
stuff you can lay your hands on and
mend the cracks of the floor, walls
and ceiling with it quit your meanness
and nobody will say you are;
mean for doing it; then you'll sleep
the sleep of the just and live as
long as a graven image. Selah! i

Salters, July 26:?Crops have im- j
proved considerably around here the i
past two weeks. ]
Tobacco is being cured now and ,
will make a very good crop, but the
price is so low that many complaints
have been heard from both up and 1
down the river and many farmers 1
say they will plant no more after !
this season. 1
Miss Emma Watson spent last j
\
t \
week with her brother, Henry E
Davis, Esq, of Florence.
Mrs Eva Sims of Charleston has
returned after a pleasant visit to
her sister, Mrs Chas Fowler, of this
place.!
Miss Carrie Sparks, who has been
spending some time with Miss Leila
Ferrell of this place, has gone on a
visit to relatives in Florence.
Miss Virginia Wilson visited relatives

Mr J T David visited friends at
Lake City last Sunday.
Henry E Davis, Esq, of Florence

Protracted services were held in
the Methodist church here last week,
conducted by Rev Mr Burnett, of the
Jordan circuit. Good congregations
attended the services and we [
hope much good has been done.
Mr C W Boswell spent Sunday |
with his parents at Silver. His
mother, who has been quite sick for
some time, is, we are glad to say,
much better. Look Out.
ONE DEAD, ANOTHER DYING.
Negroes and Officers Exchange
Shots at Nichols.
Mullins. July 25:?One negro,Jake
Davis, is dead, and another, name
unknown at this time, is fatally m
' wounded, as the result of trouble ~
between about thirty negroes and |
several officers at Nichols, this coun- jj
ty# about eight miles from here, last
night.
It seems that the negroes were at
a church and dissension arose among
them, and that the Mayor, Magistrate
and policemen went to the
nhnrf?h to ston the auarrel. when
the negroes opened fire on the officers,
who returned the fire. Policeman
Walter Powell was shot through
the arm, but the Mayor and Magistrate
were unharmed.
The Coroner arrived on the scene
about 1 o'clock this morning, but
decided to postpone the inquest un- 2
til after daylight. ?
One arrest has been made and I
others are expected shortly. E
TRY IT! SUBSTITUTE FOR
NASTY CALOMEL.
Starts Your Liver without Making
You Sick and Cannot
Salivate.
Every druggist in town?your
druggist and everybody's druggist?
has noticed a great falling-off in the
sale-if calomel. They all give the |
same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone is _
taking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people a
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone
is perfectly safe and gives better results,"
said a prominent local druggist.
Dodson's Liver Tone is personally
guaranteed by every druggist
who sells it. A large bottle costs 50
cents, and if it fails to give easy relief
in every case of liver sluggishness
and constipation, you have only
to ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasanttasting,
purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake
up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick I
headache, acid stomach or constipated
bowels. It doesn't gripe or cause
inconvenience all the next day like
violent calomel. Take a dose of calomel
today and tomorrow you will
feel weak,sick and nauseated. Don't
lose a day's work! Take Dodson's
Liver Tone instead and feel fine, ful
of vigor and ambition.
W S Wightman, aged 68, one of
the best known citizens of Saluda
county, died at his home a few
miles from Saluda Wednesday afternoon
of last week. He was stricken
with paralysis Saturday afternoon
while in his buggy on his way home.
Mr Wightman was a veteran of the
Civil war. He was County Superintendent
of Education of Saluda
county several years ago. *
Traveling Man's Experience.
"In the summer of 1888 I had a
very severe attack of cholera morbus.
Two physicians worked over
me from four a. m. to ? p. m. without
giving me any relief and then
told me they did not expect me to
live; that I had best telegraph for
my family. Instead of doing so, I
gave the hotel porter fifty cents and
told him to buy me a bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy, and take no substitute.
I tojk a double dose accord
mg to directions ana went 10 sieepi*
after the second dose. At five o'clock |
the next morning I was called by
my order and took a train for my
next stopping point, a well man but
feeling rather shaky from the se- j
verity of the attack," writes H W|
Ireland, Louisville, Ky. Obtainable
everywhere.
Mr Henry Tomlinson died suddenly
last Friday at the resience of his
brother at Olanta, Mr S J Tomlinjon.
Though in bad health for some
time, he was on the street Thursday
and appeared as well as usual. fi
