RACINE, WIS, NOV "a, 1905.
To DR.. HERRIcK, Albany, N Y.-Dear sir: L
cannot refrain from informing you of the wonder
full effects of your SUGAR COATED PILLS on a
boy living with 4ne. While hard at work drawing
cord wood, he fell to the earth as if in fit, was
insensibe and partially cold. We carried him to
the house and sent for doctor, who bled him and
gave him some medicine He remained all night
in the same situation. The doctor said he would
die, and left him. My wife insisted upon giving
him some of your Pills. We administered four in
five hours and shortly after two more. rubbing
him with hot brandy and mustard. The Pills
operated powerfully. At four o'clock in the after
noon he opened his eyes and spoke, commenced
getting better, and in three days went to work.
More than fifty of our citizens saw the boy, and
will testify to what have said. You are stranger
to me- but thought would write.
Yours, ALEXANDER MORTON.

CURED BY BGRHAvE's HOLLAND BITTERs."
Mr.. A. Matchett, trader probably as we'll known
as any man in Western Pennsylvania, states as
follows: {" / met with farmer in Armstrong
county who was reduced By Dyspepsia to mere
skeleton. | persuaded him to buy bottle of
Berhave's Holland Btters, believing it would cure
him. Meeting him some months after, what was
my astonishment at finding him hale, hearty
man; he told me he now Weighed 200 pounds, and
that this wonderful change had been produced by
Berhave's Holland Bitters to which he attributed
solely his restoration"

EVENING SESSION.

The President called the Convention tc

The DooRKEEpER A message from the
Senate and House of Representatives.
MESSAGE FROM THE SENATE.
Mr.. President, 1 am instructed by the
President of the Senate of the State of s.
Carolina, to signify the acceptance of your
invitation to attend upon the ratification Of
the Ordinance of Secession from the late
Confederacy of the Union.
MESSAGE FROM THE HOUSE.
Mr.. President, am directed by the II
of Representatives of the State of South
Carolina, to state to this body that they
have accepted your invitation to attend up
on the ratification of the Ordinance of Sc
cesson.
The Convention then rose and joined in
the procession to the Institute Hall. The
procession moved down Broad to Meeting
street, and up Meeting to the Institute Hall
Bon6res were kindled and fireworks were
being set off on all sides. At the foot o1
the staircase the Delegates were joined by
the members of the Senate and House Of
Representatives, and the procession then
moved into the Hall.
The President and Clerk of the Conven
ton, the President and Clerk of the Senate
the Speaker aod Clerk of the House of Rep
resentatives, the Governor and suite, and
the Rev. DR.. Bachman were seated upon
the stage. The exercises were opened with
prayer by the Rev, DR.. Bachmau.
The President then asked: Are the At

and shout that shook the very building,
reverberating, long-continued, rose to Hea-
ven, and ceased only with the loss of breath
In proud, grave silence, the Convention it.
self waited the end with beating hearts.
The President then requested the Dele
gates (by previous decision) to step forward
as they were called in the alphabetical or
der of the Districts which they represented,
and sign the Ordinance. Two hours were
occupied in this solemn ceremony-the
crowd waiting patiently the end. As the
Delegation from St. Phillips and St. Mi
cbaePs came forward, again the Hall was
filled with applause. And as the Hon. R.
3 Rhett advanced to the parchment, the
shouts became deafening, continued,
Until he had seated himself, signed and re-
tired. It was proud and worthy tribute,
gracefully paid, and appreciated. The
same special compliment was paid to our
EI. Governor Gist, who recommended in bis
message to the extra session, the immedi'
ate secession of South Carolina from the
Union.
At the close Of the signatures the Presi.
dent, advancing to the front of the plat
form, announced that the Seal of the State
had been set, the signatures of the Conven-
tion put to the Ordinance, and he thereby
proclaimed the State of South Carolina a
separate, independent nationality.
To describe the enthusiasm with which
this announcement was greeted, is beyond
the power of the pen. The high, burning,
bursting heart alone can realize it. A
mighty voice of great thoughts and great
emotions spoke from the mighty throat Of
one people as unit.
The State of South Carolina has record.
ed herself before the universe. In rever.
ence before God, fearless of man, unawed
by power, unterri6ed by clamor, she has cut
the Gordian knot of colonial dependence
upon the Northeast her fortune upon hel
right, and her own right arm, and stands
ready to uphold alike her independence and
her dignity before the world. Prescribing
to none, she will be dictated to by none
willing for peace, she is ready for war
Deprecating blood, she is willing to shed it.
Valueing her liberties, she will maintain
them. Neither swerved by frowns of foes,
nor swayed by, timorous solicitations Of
friends, she will pursue her direct path, and
establish for herself aud for her posterity
her rights, her liberties and herinstitutions
Though friends may fail her in her need
though the common of her enemies may
belch destruction among her people, South
Carolina, unawed, unconquerable, will still
hold aloft her flag, "AN1M1s OPIBUsoUl
PARATI."

We ARE OUT OF THE UNIoN.-And we
thank God and South Carolina for it. We
are no longer under the dominion of the
North. The step which South Carolina has
so boldly and gallantly taken, is fraught
with more aud greater benefits to the hu.
man race than any one thing since the COM
ing of Christ. It will give more force and
power to the truth that oman is capable Of
self government )" it will iuaugurate the
system of "Free Trade" all over the world,
and will lead to the overthrow of all those
devices by which labor has been made sub.
servient to power aud robbed Of its reward
by cunning and designing men it will es-
tablish the principle that governments are
formed for the protection Of the rights Of
every citizen, and not as an engine by
which the rights of the many are to be
seized for the benefit of the few. It is the
dawn of the great political and moral mil
lennium, which will extend its influence to
all the world and to all future generations.

under the name and title of the Constitu
tion of the United States of America, beg
leave to report that they have performed
the duty assigned to them, and herewith
submit the Ordinance, engrossed in such
manner as seemed suitable to the gravity
of the subject and the occasion.
The President then, in the presence OF
the assembled audience, read the Ordi'
nance, and scarcely had he finished before
terrific thunders of applause burst from the
beating hearts of the people. After the
loud and long continued cheering had sub
sided, the President called upon the mem
bers to come forward and sign the Ordi
nance. ... ..a..
While engaged in this, the people Of
South Carolina who had assembled on the
outside of the Hall, jammed the streets
Bon6res were kindled and fireworks shot
off bands of soldiers passed and re-passed
before the Hall.
Throu ghout the signing ofthe Ordinance,
the vast multitude testified their hearty
approval in loud and long continued cheer
ing, and when the President of the Con-
vention pronounced these words: "The
Ordinance of Secession has been signed
and ratified, and proclaim the State Of
South Carolina an Independent Common
wealth." the tumultuous enthusiasm that
ensued beggars description.

After the Ordinance had been signed,

of the President of the Convention, pro.
ceeded to the street, and read the Ordi-
nance to the immense ooncourse in Meet

the parchment to the crowd, and calling
upon them to give three cheers for the
Separate Commonwealth of South Carroll
ma. This was responded to in the most
enthusiastic manner by the assemblage-
who then gave three cheers for Gen. W.
E. Martin, and three more for the Ccc7en'
ton, and then dispersed.
