Editor Union Times: J Please allow me space in your valuable paper for a short letter whicn , may be of some interest to many of your readers and especially the older j men of the county. I I have just returned to this town from a ten days' visit to Mr. Wm. A, , Scott of Konawa Seminole Co., in the j southwestern part of this State and < it is needless to say that I enjoyed \ the visit as every South Carolinian ? can imagine the reception one fresh y from that State would receive from a native of that grand old State, but j who for 15 years has not gazed upon ] the land of his childhood and youth. ] Wm. Capers Scott was born in the ' North Pacolet section of what was then and untl a few years ago a part I of Union county. He served through- i out the entire four years of the Civil war and as he is now in his 69th year vou can see he was a mere hov at. the bepinninp of the war. He was a member of Co. K, 2nd S. C. Repiment under Capt. A. P. Vinson. This repiment was commanded by Col. "Bill" Wallace and was in Ker- i shaw's division. 1 j Wm. C. Scott is not a man to "blow { his own horn," but recounts with preat S pleasure the brave deeds of many Union county men. It was from such men as W. H. S. Harris, W. A. WcWhirter, J. G. Lonp, t Sr., and others that I learned years apo of Capers Scott's part inthe hiis- 1 tory of Union county. 1 Mr. Scott was a member of a certain band of brave and noble men who, ' after lonp sufferinp and in many cases imprisonment or exile from South Car- , olina, from a rule or povernment that was so repulsive to the self-respect_ inp citizenship of that State and to ~ whom South Carolina is today much indebted for its pood povernment. ' Mr. and Mrs. Scott have only five children livinp, two boys, Claude and , J. D., both married: two pirls, Lula , and Grace, who are sinple and Mrs. . Galimore. , None of the children have ever visitelJ South Carolina but Lula and , Grace hope to some time in the near future. The children all think thu. next to Arksansas South Carolina and ' Georpia are two of the preatest States in the union and, of course, we can ^ excuse them for puttinp Arkansas first, as we would not have them be disloyal to the State in which they were born and, too ,they can't help because they were born in Arkansas instead of South Carolina. The unhealthy climate of South Carolina during the reconstruction period caused South Carolina to loose many pood citizens. The first night I was with Mr. Scot* his memory seemed to be at itk very best for he must have asked me about every man, woman and child he ever knew back there and in so many c?.<j?s 1 had to answer "dead", and often! afSl tor I hai./told him of the death of some* comrade and friend he would become silent for many minutes and, as h;> . graded into the fire 1 could see the tears roll down his cheeks and I knew that his thoughts could only be understood fully by his few remaining com, rades back home. < He spoke with much feeling of W. H. S. Harris. J. G. I.ong. J. W. = Scott. W. A. Goforth, W. A. McWhirter. T. L. Ilames and hundreds of others and as I parted with him he asked that in writing back home I ask his J old friends, to remember him and'that \ he would be awfully glad to hear from 1 any of them. His greatest desire is to ' visit old South Carolina again, but his health just at this time is not the best and he fears the trip would be 1 too long and tiresome. 1 I trust that he may be spared and ^ that his health may so improve that 1 lit- may ue privileged at least once more to see his native State and may ' God spare the hoys hack there that * they may be on hand to meet him and * refresh the friendship and memories ' that time and separation can never blot out. 1 When the few who remain to tell of : the thrilling days from '00 to '80 have 1 answered the last roll call may their 1 memory not only linger in the minds ' of the present generation hut throughcut the generations of all time to come. ' Thanking you for the space, time and trouble you have had in trans- ( luting this poorly written letter and 1 trusting that it may he of interest to 1 at least a few. I am. with kindest 1 personal regards to you, your staff 1 and my friends throughout the coun- 1 ty. Yours very truly, Boyd E.

Remember the "dose" mother insisted jn?castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them, i With our children it's different. Mothers who cling to the old for 11 of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is wellfounded. Their tender little "insides" are injured by them. If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only delicious "California Syrup of Figs." Its actions is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless "fruit laxative" handy; they kno? children love to take it; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomorrow. Ask your druggist for a .10-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-up.s plainly on each bottle. Beware of counterfeits sold here. See that it is made by "California Fig Syrup Company." Refuse any other kind with contempt. NICHOLLS TAKES SEAT. Washington. Dec. f?.?Congressman Sam J.

"Ikes Carnival" held at the Cedar Hill Graded school, on November 24, proved to be quite a success. Immediately after the doors were opened and the crowd admitted, Prof. E. O.

Rion McKissick of Greenville delivered excellent and beneficial addresses, the themes of which were the betterment of school conditions and education in general. At the close of the addresses the carnival oegan, confetti and the "ticklers' beginning the fun. There was a rush and push into the "midway" for none could resist the tempta- , tion of seeing "the real live performing monkey," "Andes, the great snake eater," "the lovely bridal scene," "the wonderful ground hog," "the swimming match," and "for men only."

In her gratitude for a remedy that saved her from the possible necessity for an operation, Mrs. Carrie Heflin, of Coats, Kans., writes: "Had it not been for Fruitola and Traxo I might have been on the operating table by now. It relieved me of at least one hundred and fifty gall stones. It surely does work wonders. My brother also had suffered for years, and has been greatly benefited by Fruitola and T raxo." Fruitola is a powerful lubricant for the intestinal organs, softening the congested masses, disintegrating the hardened particles that cause so much surrenng and expels the accumulation in an easy, natural way. Traxo is a splendid tonic, acting on the liver and stomach with most beneficial results and is recommended for use in connection with Fruitola to build up and restore the weakened, run-down sysKELTON Kelton, Dec.
