The waters of the Litliia Springs are odorless, fiee from color, with a pleasant;
saline taste, nit her palatable. When taken in considerable quantity, thny ao not
nauseate, purge, or produce any feeling of iliseomfort. 1 And fibhi the analysis of
the Waters, they contain Chloride Sodium, Carlk Potash, Curb. Soda, Curb. Litliia,
Carb. Iron and Sulphate Magnesia. These waters act directly ujx)n the mucous
coating of the stoinaeh and alimentary canal, they are powerfully alterative and
tonic. They are even-thing to inflamed or irritated surfaces. They act Upon tli^
biixKl, changing it from acid to alkaline. In Indigestion, Catarrh of Stomach and
tiustralgia. supplemented with a proper diet, they are a certain cure. Thb action
UJK1I1 the kidneys is marked. The Sodium. Potash, Soda, Litliia, ini tlie best solvents
of uric acid, all calculi of an acid character, whether titary or cystic, are
steadily dissolved. I am confident that the profession will tind it very useful in
cases where this class of water \< mjuired. a*. j. (j. Wii.buh, M. D.

of the court of inquiry by issuing the
following order:
The report and recommendations, to- I
gether with the record of the proceed- |
ings of the court of inquiry, consisting
of llrigadier-Geueral Joseph L. Stoppelbein,
Col. J. (1. WurdlaW and Oapt.
Henry T. Thompson, appointed by ,
general order from this office, has been
duly considered. I
The report of the court of inquiry and
record of its proceedings will be at the
proper time transmitted to the General
Assembly for such action as kthat body
may deem proper with reference to the
adjutant and inspector goneral, who is
in this State a constitutional officer.
And it is ordered:
1. That Private Fishburno, of the
Hichland Volunteers be discharged froui
the military service of the Stato.
v?. That the captain of the Hichland
Volunteers publish an order reprimanding
Private Dunning of said company
for leaving ranks without permission.
8. The court of inquiry having completed
the duties assigned, it is lieieby
dissolved.
The commander-in-chief desires to
' express high appreciation of tlio com,
pleto and careful manner in which the
court has performed its duty.
Governor Filer be was asked his
reasons for approving of every recommendation
of the court save that of
reprimanding General Watts. To this
he replied that while he approved the
court's action iu its entirety, he did not
think he should attempt to roprimand
General Watts as he was a eonstitu
tional officer responsible only to tne
electors. General Watts' duties were
defined by law and it was not provided
that should lie prove derelict to his
duties that ho should be reprimanded
by anyone other than the people or by
them through their representatives.
I The governor felt that he would have
as mucli right to reprimand the attorney
ii general, Secretary of State or any other
i- official as to reprimand General \\ atts.
Governor Kllerbe did not express
himself just as above, but this is the
idea which he wished understood.
The actual cost of the court of inquiry
was $827.63. The members of the Court
received $4 per day with S'J for hoard

At Charleston on tiie '2wtli there was
observed what is called Carolina Day,
in memory of the brave defense of Fort
Moultrie by the gallant men who held
the fort against the British fleet just
one hundred and twenty-one years ago.
As is the usual custom, the Palmetto
Guard played the most conspicuous
part in the day's celebration. The
members of this command formed at
their armory and marched to the Battery,
where a salute was tired in honor
of Sergeant Jasper, whose statue
stands there Later in the day the
members of the Guard repaired to the
Sclmetzenpiatz, where they gave theii
annual maroon and picnic. A large
crowd was present ami and the picuio
was on exceedingly enjoyable one. All

that cooking utensils could not he very

were not as comfortable ns they might
be. The tents have been abandoned
and a wagon, thirty feet long and eight

easily moved from place to plnce by the

In compliance to the governor's request
the Stnte board of health has gone
toClemson to investigate the causes of
fever at thnt institution. Tho different
theories of tho sources of fever are alle.id.v
known, but which is the right
one is still unanswered. That something
is radically wrong with the hygienic
conditions is admitted, so that
the report of tho State board of health
will be awaited with interest.

ON FEDERATE REUNION At NASHTILLE
DRAWS HIM OUT.
ILD VETERANS MEET AND WEEP.
rot Tear* of Sorrow, llut Caused By the
Recalling; of Old Memoles of
the Battlefield.
- . .v ,
good, happy, gonial friend,
'barley Lane, delivered ft most enoyable
lecture on the analysis Of
aughter, or "Why Do We Laugh."
'Tow, if he will analyzo our tears and
ell U6 why do we weep, we will the
rotter Understand another one of the
nvsteries of our emotional humanity.
Why does u man weep when there is
10 sorrow in his heart?esneeiallv rin
>1(1 man?a veteran? If it wore not
jathetic it would l>e funny to see the
:ears in there old soldiers' eyes as
:hcy met and marched and listened to
the martial music or sat together tinier
the sound of words that came
from the lips of old lnea, eloquent?
>ld comrades in arms?words that
awakened soul-stirring memories and
quickened into life the hard but heroic
scenes that were living facts a third of
a century ago. How hard they look?
these old soldiers?hard in face and
feature but soft in heart. It seems
to me I can pick them out from common
people. Every wrinkle tells of
service* of suffering and disappointment.
The bronze on their furrowed
fnces has never vet been blenched, and
their walk is still a true but tired
march. Yes, I can pick them out all
around me. Look at old Captain
Neal, and Major Fouto, and McCandless,
and Durham, and Mountcnstle.
They can't hurry now. Their quick
step has gone. They marched and
counter-marched, they advanced and
retreated, they charged and doublequicked
for four long years, until the
spring of their instep was worn down
to a plane with heel and toe, and now
it is a fart that the hollow of the fool
icakes a hole in the ground.
But why should an old man weep'
I remember that when lien Hill f
statue was uncovered and the greal
speeches were over and queenly Win
nio Davis was brought forward on tin
platform and presented to ns as tin
daughter of the confederacy by Gen or
al Gordon, acclamations rent the ri;
and reached the heavens and made tin
welkin ring. Then everybody crie<
except those who had no feeling?in
emotion?no patriotism. Old Genera
| teyfeavViykim
turned quickly to took into his fac
and saw the tears coursing down a
freely as if ho were a boy. As I brush
ed my own away I said: "What is tin
matter, General? Do you want sonn
water? Are you about to faint?"
"Oh, no?no," said he, "just let nn
alone and hold me up a little. I an
feeling good. Thank God for Hii
mercies. 1 feel like old Nieodeiniu
when he said, 'Now let me die since ]
have seen thy salvation.'"
The medical books tell us that tear:
are contagious. We all know that am
have experienced it, but ordinarily 0111
tears come from our own emotions ami
not from another's. I suppose thai
there were probably ten thousand
bona tide veterans at Xushville, and
while under the influence of the occasion,
the surronndings, the memories
of the past and the thoughts that
breathed and the words that, burned,
they all shed tears or felt like it.
What a spectacle for northern eyes,
tui.?* ~ -?. x
tv imu n tuuimeiiuirj on norm era intolerances.
How long will it take to
eradicate our lovo for the lost cause or
our admiration for its heroes. Like
father, like son ami daughter, and it
is already transmitted adown the line
from generation to generation and in
a few years more these reunions will
he baptized with another name ami he
called the sons of the confederate veterans.
I said that probably there
were ten thousand real bona fide confederate
veterans gathered at Naslil
ille, for it is a fact that our veterans
ire swiftly passing away. There are
not 100,000 now alive?not more than
>ne in seven of all who served. There
night have been more, but unpen'ioncd
soldiers don't live forever;
leither do they multiply as the years
oil on.
"Time cuts down all
Both great and small."
Except a pensioned soldier.
No. For the peace and brotherhood
f all our people it would have been
ir better for the north to have said
liirty years ago: "Now let us be brethen.
You thought you were right and
iayl>e you were. You fought a good
ght and shall have your share of all
liis pension money." If Lincoln had
ived ho would have said so and stood
n that platform.
Walter Scott says: "Woe awaits a
nnntry when she sees the tears of
carded men," and so it would be bet?r
to conciliate our people with kindess
rather than to alienate them with
Iiuso uixl unfriendly legislation. See
hat a iiiartvr and a hero our people
itve made of Sam Davis, tho nohle
>v who held liis honor dearer than
is life. And this reminds ine to say
lat I have a letter, a good letter,from
. S. Halbert, of Crawford, .Miss.,
ho was an army comrade of Calvin
rozier, the Texas soldier who was
it to death by order of Colonel
row-bridge at Newberry, S. C., for
seating an insult given a lady by a
grosoldier. I wrote of this in a former
tter and of the monument the good
ople of Newberry had cVected to his
emory. The uc^ro was^but slightly
)
I
wounded and in the confusion in the I
car another man was arrested for the
dfc6d;, When Crosier learned this he i'
gave himstitf tip and was shot at sunrise.
Mr. Halbert btfd never heard of j
Crozier's fate until he read it in The
Constitution and he now begs for more
information concerning him and his sad
fate. Will some one wL'ft Vnpws pleaso
write to him. He says that Groz&f wee
a noble man and a gallant soldier and
belonged to Goode's battery organized
Kt Dallas, Tex. Bam Davis and Calvin
Crozier were but twe, We had many
more inet like them, but tbey Were not
so tried.
' But speaking of tears and war the
I most touching lines ever written were
by IjAUghornCj who died more than
one hundred years ago:
"Cold on Canadian bills or Mlndnn'A plain,
That weeping mother mourned her husband
slain;
Bent o'er lmr balm, her eye dissolved In
dew?
The big drops mingling with the milk he
drew.
What n sad presago of his futuro years?
l*he child of misery baptized In tears."
What could be more sweetly, sadly
pitiful. No wouder that Burns shed
teats when he looked tit the print that
had been made of the scene. Why haR
not some great artist taken the hint
and painted it to tho life?the mother
seeking her dead husband among the
slain on a battlefield and weeping over
her child as he nursed from her breast
? "the big drops mingling with the

The South Carolina Weather and

a normal. The tirst of the week was
i comparatively cool followed by excess

4 on the 24, 25 and 20 raugiug from 100
f 100 over the Southeastern counties.
The lowest for the week was 58 on the
^ 22 nd, at Spartanburg.
J The weathor was showery, but hardly
enough rain fell genera'ly for the need
' of crops, in many places none, and in a
I few too much. Thirty-one weekly measb
uroinents amounted to less than ono
[ inch; thirteen from one to two inches
I and three over two inches with 2.70 as
the largest amount, at Trial. The average
of forty-nine reports was 0.78and
the approximate normal for the week is
1 U;l.
I n Clarendon, Spartanburg and EdgeGeld
fields were washed by heavy
rains.
Severe local sloiins, of wind, rain
> and hail, doing more or less injury to
corn, ootton and tobacco, in few ifiBtauees
ruining entire fields, occurred
in Clarendon, Spartanburg, Anderson,
Aiken, Edgefield, Darlington, ltichlaml,
Bamberg, Kershaw, Sumter,
Berkeley, Orangeburg and Charleston.
The extreme Notheastern and Northwestern
counties wore free from local
storms.
The sunshine vuried greatly in different
portions of tho State, but the
average of all re|K>rts indicate about a
normal ?>er centago of the possible duration.
The week on tho whole was favorable
for the development of crops, which
made satisfactory advanco except where
injured by wind, hail and wet soil.
.Much mention by correspondents is
made of grass in holds, but qualified
generally by the statement that the
weather favored killing grass.
Corn is being rapidly laid by in good
condition oxcept that stands are irregular
and that over considerable nroas
throughout the entire State rain is
needed. It is more promising than at
airy time this season. Some fields wero
injured by high wind breaking down
tho larger stalus, and by excessive heat
curling the leavos during the day.
Cotton has begun to blossom freely
over the eastern counties, and suuares
are plentiful everwhere although the
plant is nmnll for tho season. In |>ortions

NEGRO WJ 1I1S.
The Experiment Being Watched
With Much Interest.
THE MOVING ABOUT HABIT
T .vi /
Among White Operntivei ? Another
Class Who WUI Never Have Cause to
Worry About Negro Competition,
The following correspondence appeared
in the Charlotte (N. C.) Obser
ver, under date of July 1st, froua Edgefield,
on tho experiment of negro labor
in thd Charleston cotton mills:
"Yesterday I ruet a gentleman who
has been to Charleston, and who visited
the cotton mill there. This visit was
made about a week ago. He states that
about one hundred negro operativen
were then employed in the mill. Four
policemen weie on duty its the mill yavd,
presumably to prevent interference by
the white ox-operatives witlf tho negro
employes. This gentleman saw po signs
of any disposition on the part of any
I white people to interfero with tho
l lurimant with HAimi labor. Mill ll.?
thought there wbb being more tulk of
interference than the circumstances or
evidences up to dato would justify, Ho
thinko it is not a question whether this
white working people will permit negroes
to work iu a factory, but that the
question to be solved is whether negroes
can be trained to make a success
of a factory. Individuals will undoubtedly
be found who can do good
work, but this man thinks it is yet to
be proved whether a full force of negroes
can bo organized and maintained -J
to operate a mill of fairl}* good size.
"The experiment at Charleston, if it I
is a future, will not settle the question.
The Charleston mill lias failed with
white operatives. If it fails aguu1 with
negro operatives the exparimeutproves
nothing. If it succeeds, then it will
be showu that there is prolit in usiug
negro labor under certain conditions.
"Home of those who have seen the
Charleston mill say that the fault is iu
the mill itself, and uot in the operatives.
The machinery is more or less
out of date and needs a complete re-organizatiou
and overhauling. If this is
true the new management will probably
remedy this deficiency.
"The experiment is one that Irf being
watched with much anxiety by those interested
in the mill and with much Interest
by many outsiders, while cottoil
mill operatives are eagerly interested.
Home people thn\k tliut success at
Charleston would bo a blow to the interests
of tho white operatives iu the
Houth. Others think it would bo to the
advantage of the white operatives in
giving up tho coarser work to the negroes
and making tho development of
manufacturing liner goods with white
labor at better prices more feasible.
"It lias been said that something
must be done to prevent tho wliito opfrom
moving about so much.
I jear. Th'i'.TorloMhli^
t to raise mill owners to consider tho
subject of negro labor. The bettor
class of mill operatives might do woll
to uso their inffnonce to check this habit
i that some families have of moving so
; often. The surest protection of white
labor against encroachment is efficiency.
Careful attention to work and
1 regularity will do more to keep the
' negro out of tho mills than auy amount
of argument or objection. Tho
1 younger peoplo ought to go
to school and the older ones
ought to see to it that the children
do go to school. Those whito operatives
who aro well posted, skillful, industrious
ami who are not always on the \
move will never have to worry about
the negro or any other race as a competitor,
but tlioso who avoid schools,
lose many working days and make fre- I
qneut moves from ono mill to auotlier j
had better mend their ways. Civilize- '
tion is relentless in its progress and always
bears down hard on ignoranco and
slothfulness. In those modern times --!
education, industry and steadiness of 4
purpose win all tights."
