to tbe meeting of the Sunday School Con
vention in Sumter, the proceedings of which
are published in this issue, ne said among
other things if the parents would manifest
tbe same interest in sending their children to
Sunday School as they do in the case of the
common schools it won id be a great factor in
the^uccess of the institution. As the world
hereafter is more important of attainment than
this, the means to insure it, ought to be of
paramount importance to anything else.

? Castle in the Air.
Io our drive from county to.-own last
Monday morning a vehicle quite full of
officials representing the C. S k N. R. R.
passed us, also several other gentlemen going
in the direction of Stateburg. We im
mediately began to conjecture that something
was up in Railroad circles, that tbe health of
tbe old hills, the richness and fertility of this
sweet stretch of country had at last attracted
tbe eve of tbe capitalists, -nd these parties
were ou a prospecting tour for the purpose of j
locating a line or buying some lots. We
learned afterwards that they were journeying
towards the Court House of Hon. .T. S.
Sumter. Where important interest* connect
ed with the Road were being litigated. They
were much impressed with tbe beauty of the
country and especially the justice and fairness
they received before a Stateburg jary. The
Company won tbe case.

Dr. T. A. La Far of Charleston, oow resid

here last and this week with his brother, Mr.
M. L. LaFar, and favored tbe Watchman ano
Socthbon office with a visit, showing us sev
eral of the flags which were borne by our sol
diers at tbe opening of hostilities in '.861. He
also bad witb htm the records of the bureau
of supplies connected with the South Carolina
Hospital association, and many faroiHar names
of plain people of to-day transpire on its pages
as gallant soldiers of tbe lost cause.
Dr. LaFar intends to present the flags to the
State at this session of the Legislature, and the
following extract from the Abbeville Medium
connectionjiherewitb, will be read witb interes*:
' Dr. LaFar is on a visit to his uncle, Geo.
W. t? y fan. He now resides in Peosacola,
Florida, but is a native of Charleston. He is
a man of distinctioa in his profession and in
literature, having a high reputation as a lec
turer. During tbe war be was one of tbe
chief officers of the South Carolina Hospital
association which wig under the management
of tbe late Rev. R. W. Baro well. The asso
ciation was supported by tbe patriotic ladies
of onr State and did much to relieve and aid
our gallant troops in tbe field When Rich
mond fell Dr. LaFar saved from the wreck a
number of South Carolina flags which had
been deposited for safe keeping in the South
Carolina Home when the battle-flag was
adopted by tbe army. He has preserved them
carefully and exhibited tb?m to us tbe other

and a battery of artillery near a palmetto tree
and in tbe distance several forts. On the

posed of cotton blooms and open bolls and
heads of rice, painted with exq u isi te taste.
Last, is the flag of 16th S. C. V. On one side
is tbe coat-of-arme of South Carolina sur
rounded by stars, and cn the other is a scroll
containing tbe name of tbe regiment and the
motto. 'God and my Country,' all beautifully
painted by band. Tbe flag is made of thefine.-t
dark blue silk. Dr. LaFar intends to give
these flags to the State at tbe next session of

thank you, individually and collectively, for

but I hope some time in the future to bave
tbe opportunity to try it again, and also to
meet you all face to face during tbe canvass.
Good luck to you all, and may success
:rown every effort the farmers make to better
their condition. W. A.JAMES Ja.

Edifor Watchman and Southron : Our State
Industriai Fair held last week, was a com
plete success in every sense of the word.
Through the medium of your valuable col
umns 1 tender my hearty thanks to all who
fo nobly contributed to the success of the
enterprise. To me it is highly encouraging
to see the disposition among our people to
uni'.e in good deeds. For tbe third year we
have had an increased attendance and deeper
interest.. There is no good reason why a
grand State Fuir on a larger scale should not
he held. Exhibits came from Marlborough,
Chesterfield, Darlington, Florence, Marion,
Richlaud, Oraogeburg, Anderson Beaufort,
Kershaw. Clarendon, Charleston and Sumter
Counties. Excepting the live stock depart
ment the preceding years have been surpassed
in every way. "Let us have peace," and
let us co-operate in this good work until
every county in this State is represented at
Sumter or elsewhere by the industry of the
colored ueople of South Carolina.

INTERESTING NEWS.
Prom Rev. J. B. Hawthorne, of
Atlanta.
Six mon the ago, at the request of a friend
who was interested in the sale of Dr. King's
Rovai Germeteur, I made a written statement
of the benefits I had received from the use of
that medicine. In that statement 1 expressed
tbe belief that it would cure me entirely of
Catarrh. Within tbe last two months I have
received letters from every quarter of tbe
Nation, calling on me for further information
in regard to my health. It has beeo impossi
ble for me to write privately to each person
who has made this, request, and I am there
fore under the necessity of making another
public sta'ement.
I am free from Catarrh. I believe that I
could get a certificate to that effect from any
competent physician. I have used no medi
cine within the last six months except King's
Royal Germetuer. My health is better than it
has been in thirty years. I am in possession
of information which warrants mein saying
that the relief which I have experienced from
the use of the medicine is not more certain and
radical than that which it has brought to hun
dreds of persone in Georgia and other states.
I feel it to be my duty to say, also, that
the effects of this remedy upon my wife bave
been eveo. more signal and wonderful. She
has been almost an invalid from nervous head
ache, neuralgia and rheumatism. In a period
of thirty years she has scarcely had a day's
exemption from pain. She has been using
Germetuer about two months. A more com
plete transformation I have never witnessed.
Every symptom of disease has disappeared.
She appears to be twenty years younger, and
is as happy and playful as a healthy child
We have persuaded many of our friends to
take the medicine, and the testimony of all of
them is that it is a great remedy.
J. Hawthorns.
Pastor First Baptist Church,
Rev. Sam. P. Junks talks out :
We are in receipt of a letter from the above
world-renowned evangelist, from which we
take the following extract :
"I returned from Tyler, Texas, on March
12th. I find my wife has been taking Royal
Germetuer to tbe great upbuilding of her
physical system. She is now almost free from
tbe distressing headaches with which she has
suffered for twenty years. Surely it has done
wonders for her. I wish every poor suffering
wife had access to that medicine."
Later he writes:
"My wife who has been nn invalid from
nervous sick headache has been entirely cured
by six weeks' ufe of Dr. King's Royal Germe
tuer. Her health is ?perfect. In three weeks
two of my children were cured completely of
nasal catarrh. It is truly a great remedy."
Dr. King's Royal Germetuer is a boon to
women. It builds up their strength, increases
their appetite, aids digestion, relieves them of
the cause of disease, and insures healih.
Gkneral James Longstreet, ?.he old war
rior, heard from :
I have suffered for months past from
insomnia and indigestion, and, failing of
relief, was induced by a friend to try Dr.
King's Royal Germetuer. I am now relieved,
and I hope permanently so.
James Longstreet,
Gainesville, Ga., June 27. 1890.
Their Think-Pans Lighter.
It ie not gallant to refer to it, perhaps, but
ihe illustration is necessary. At birth an
average female brain weighs 347 grammes,
and the male brain 893. Tbe female brain
begins to lose weight after the age of thirty ;
that of a man not till ten or fifteen years
later. The Medical Record tells us that there
is just five ounces less amount of brain matter
standing between women and idiocy than
there is in the case of a man.
It is very evident from this that our wives,
mothers and sisters need to have a care of
themselves. When debility, depressed spirits,
enervate^ sensations, loss of appetite and
dyspepsia make their appearance in the home
circle, the ladies should, by all means, harp
that universally accepted remedy, Dr. West
morelands'e Calisaya Tonic, to insure a re
turn of health, vigor and spirits. It is invai- j
uable in malarial districes, and is a sure ariti- ;
periodic. For sale by all druggists, and
wholesale by Dr. A. J. China.
If you are all run down?have no strength,
no energy, and feel very tired all the time?
take Dr. J. H. Mclean's S-?rsaparilla. It will
impart strength and vitality to your system.
