Monthly Report "Civic League Nurse." During the past two months I have naid three hundred and twenty (320) visita, some of these cases were of a most serious nature and required con? stant attention. I had several cases of intestinal trouble, also a number of malarial fever patients. The young^irl I referred to in my last re? port a- suffering from typhoid fever proved a most obstinate and awful case, several severe complications arising. I am gratified to report in the face of all this she has recovered. Just here let me thank the ladies of the Civic League, the Elks and a few other friends for their financial aid in this case. Another case of typhoid I assisted with though to rather a limited ex? tent, this patient's temperature after being' being normal for seven days rose alarmingly and the poor, weak? ened heart could not withstand the ' relapse. I must also refer to another typhoid case where I . showed the j mother how to properly give a bath, j ! she giving them herself after this. No case gratifies me more than the one to which I will refer. The case was that of a mother suffering with typhoid fever. This patient was with? out any family except her husband, who was obliged to continue his work so we solved the great prob? lem by procuring the services of an untrained colored woman who could read and write a J?tUe. This enabled her to carry out my written direc? tions. This patient is now well and walkin- about. I regaTd this result, as the most successful of any under my management. In the matter of operations I have assisted with two. In company with one of our physicians went to the house of a patient suffering intensely. This doctor tapped the patient, a j woman, getting a quantity of fluid, which relieved her promptly. I { visited for quite a while a case of ? bronchitis, an aged woman. I have had three obstetrical cases. Probably the most distressing case I have called upon was the case of a mother suffering with uremic convul- , sions. In this terrible condition she J lingered for two weeks, then passing j away. In this heart-rending case I j would like to refer to the extreme kindness of her neighbors. . A little { band of six or eight giving almost their' entire time to the alleviation of the poor sufferer. I think this pub- j lie allusion to these noble women is. due. I must allude to a really terrible rase of cholera infantum. I was call ex?, in to see the baby at five in the morning- and by one its little strug? gles had ceased. Antonia B. Gibson, City Nurse.

Hunzinger by striking him in the head with a brickbat, has surrendered to the sher jiff. ! Hunsinger was hit in the head last Saturday afternoon and sent to his home, -four miles from town. He I failed to receive medical attention up? on his arrival at home, though sever? al efforts were made to secure physi? cians, and death followed within 36 hours after he was wounded. The half I dead man was allowed to lie on the ground here for more than an hour before he was sent home. When Cuningham learned of the death of Hunsinger he came in and surrender? ed. Cunningham struck Hunsinge** while the latter was advancing on him with a drawn knife. ANOTHER EDGEFTELD HOMICIDE E. T. Chappell Shoots Negro Tenant in the Field. Edgefield, July 2.-This morning E. T. Chappell, who lives on a farm, one mile below town, shot and " killed George Griffin, an elderly negro ten? ant on his place. The tale goes that Griffin had en? tered into a contract, or obligated himself, not to hire any of his chil? dren off of the Chappell place until the latcer's vcr op should be gathered, j Griffin, it is said, broke this agree- j ment 'by hiring one or more of his j children oL the place. This brought about a dispute in the field. Griffin, it is alleged, essayed to p^k up a j rock to hurl at Chappell and was j shot and killed by the latter.

Some Examination Humor. Queer mistakes are made by appli? cants on civil service examination papers, says the Baltimore Sun. Such papers are not for public isspection, yet occasionally the examiners are struck so forcibly by errors made as j to recall them years after there is any j chance for the person most interested to discover that it is his blunder which is the subject of comment. A negro girl, taking the examina? tion for teacher in the Indian service, in reply to the question on her appli? cation. "How long do you expect to remain in the government service?" replied, "Till death takes hold this mortal fraim." Another applicant for position as teacher in the Indian service was ask? ed to name three or four standard American works of literature and their authors. The reply, painfully penned, was, "I will name Whitcomb Riley and his When the Fodder and the Punkin is Ripe." A butcher being examined for a po? sition as government meat inspector was given an exercise in "copying from plain copy," which is merely an exercise to prove that a man can re? produce, properly spelled and puct uated, a printed paragraph set down before him. It seems also an exercise in common sense and accurate obser? vation- of spelling and punctuating. This applicant wrote is the space pro? vided for the copy from plain copy. "I am 34 weigh 160 pounds and no awl about meet." Here are some answers from pri? mary school examination papers: "In austria the principal occupa? tion is gathering Austrieb: feathers. "The Bay of Biscuit is on the coast of France. "The principal industries of Ger? many are manufacturing, agriculture and the cultivation of the intellect. "Russia is very cold and tyrannical. Its inhabitants live in Siberia. 'The Great Desert of Sarah was fermerlv discovered in Africa. "The two most famous volcanoes of Europe are Sodom and Gomorrah. "One of the chief exports of Eu? rope is live meat, which grows in great quantities. "The north tempered zone is the best one. ? "The frigid zone is the most hot? test.

New York, July 5.-Bradstreet's to ? morrow will say: j "Continued favorable weather con? ditions have made for further crop development, expansion in retail trade in light summer goods and notable stimulation of hitherto lagging reor? der business. One of the most favor? able developments of the week has been the improvement noted in col? lection at many markets, a sure sign that retail stocks are moving, though the number of cities reporting reduc? tion sales or slow trade is sufficiently large to show that trade in summer wear has not in all cases been satis? factory. The usual measures of busi? ness, such as clearings and failures, point to irregular conditions. Desire to await a clearer view of crop out? turn limits future commitments, but the situation in cottons is very strong on uncertain crop outlook as to prices cf goods is now having the attention of manufacturers and wholesalers. .Holiday quiet rules in the shoe trade, but recent warm weather has helped retailers and jobbers and the outlook for the coming half year is hopeful. Bastern shipments for the first six months of 1907 aggregate 2,465,340 cases, a decrease of 3.8 per cent, from t1- - same period of 1906. "Considerably more activity is re? ported at leading wool markets and all staple wools have sold well at Boston and at leading interior mar? kets. "Pig iron continues quiet and prices are easier at some markets. Premiums fer spot iron have practi? cally disappointed. While buyers of copper are still holding off in the hope of obtaining lower prices, quotations are unchang? ed from last week." .Piles get quick and certain relief from Dr. Shoop's Magic Ointment.

Legend o? a Musket. Mark Twain tells the following story, related by a fellow passenger, who, being bantered about his tim? idity, said he had never been scared since he loaded an old >Queen Anne's musket for his father once, where? upon he gives the following: You see the old man was trying to learn me to shoot blackbirds and beasts that tore up the young corn and such things, so I could be of some use about the farm, because I wasn't big enough to do much. My gun was a single-barreled shot-gun and the old man carried an old Queen Anne musket that weighed a ton, made a report like a thunder? clap, and kicked like a mule. The old man wanted me to shoot the musket sometimes, but I was afraid. One day. though, I got her down and so I took her to the hired man, and asked him how to load her, because it was out in the field. "Hiram," said he, "do you see those marks on the stock, an X and a. V, on each side of the Queen's crown? Well, that means ten balls and five slugs that's her load." "Eut how much powder?" "Oh." says he, "it don't matter; put in three or four handfuls." So I loaded her up that way, and it was an awful charge-I had sense enough to see that, and started out. I levelled her on a good many black? birds; but every time I went to pull the trigger I shut my eyes and wink? ed; 1 was afraid of her kick. To? wards sundown I fetched up at the house, and there was the old man resting on the porch. "Been out hunting, have ye?" "Yes. sir," said I. "What did you kill?" "Didn't kill anything-didn't shoot her off-was afraid she would kick. (I knew blame well she would.)" "Gimme that gun!" the old man said, as mad as sin. And he took aim at a sapling on the other side of the road, and I be? gan to drop back out of danger. And the next moment I heard the earthquake, and heard the Queen Anne whirling end over end in the air, and father spinned around on one heel with one leg up and both hands on his jaw, and the bark flying from that old sapling like there was a hail storm. The old man's shoulder was sot back three inches and his jaw turned black and blue, and he had to lay up for three days. Cholera nor nothing else can scare me the way I was scared that time. The Doctor Away From Home When Most Needed. .People are often very much dis? appointed to find that their family physician is away from home when they most need his services. Diseases like cramp colic and cholera morbus require prompt treatment, and have in many instances proven fatal before medicine could be procured or a phy? sician summoned.

Troubles of the stomach, heart or kidneys are merely symptoms of a deeper ailment Don't make the common error of treating symptoms only. Symptom treatment is- treating the result of your ailment, and not the cause.

According to the Norfolk Land? mark, three distinguished citizens , of Charleston, S. C., no less personages in fact than Mayor R. Goodwin Rhett, Col. Thomas R. Waring, of the Charleston Post, and Speaker Rich? ard S. Whaley, of the South Carolina house of representatives, met at the Jamestown Exposition on South Caro? lina day and definitely decided that Maj. J. C. Hemphill, the veteran edi? tor of the Charleston News and Cou? rier, should -be elected as Senator Till? man's colleague to the United States senate from South Carolina. This was certainly a laudable step on thc part of the three distinguished Charleston ians, and a touching tribute to the distinguished editor of the News and Courier, but the remarkable feature of the incident is that the esteemed Landmark perpetrated a piece of hu? mor equal to the "nine tailors of Too? ley street" in all seriousness and with? out the slightest inclination or inspi? ration to persiflage.-Macon Tele? graph.
