alarm to one Of doubt, pcrplexity and
distrust." "a Isew complication has
;, arisen in tho inflammation Of the
eparotid gland. DR.. Hamilton does
'Ilo*' regard this as a cause for alarm.

that the President will die.
THE DIVISION among the stockhold-
ers Of the Cheraw and Chester Rail

longing to the corporation. The de-
maud will Of course DO refused, and
. the controversy will be determined in
the courts. Both tho Lancaster papers
sustain the Hardin board and stock
holders. On the other hand the senti-

side Of the Agurs organization. The
question Of their respective rights
must remain open till judgment can
be procured in the Supreme Court.
1T NOW appears that there was a
coed deal, Of truth in thc.story told BY
Judge Mackey about that dispatch
sent by n Lancaster man about the

gram as Judge Mackcv speaks Of was
left Oh the table for transmission, but
he didn't see,who it was that left it. It
was the first day the new line between
Chester and Lancaster was to,bc oper-

sent free, oversize line that evening.
Dir. Brennecke found the aforcmcn-

others which had beanlcft, and tore 1T

The ATLANTA EXPOSITION is attract
ing general attention, and the scope
Of the exhibition will be much larger
than was originally anticipated. 1t
will not be purely Southern enter
prise but National one. Mr.. Kim
ball has recently returned from All cx-
tondcd trip over the North, to further
its interests, and he says he found the
people there, even as far up as New
England, to be very .WaiEm supporters
of the scheme. The papers as a gen
eral thing cordially co-operated with
him, commenting the enterprise in
the strongest terms. A part of his
business was to visit Washington to
secure from the authorities the adj
mission Of articles for exhibition from
Europe to our ports free Of duty, and
he received assurances that his re-
quest would meet favorable considera-
ton. All must rejoice at the sncoess
OF this Southern undertaking, which
has continually grown till it attracts
attention all over the Union. Every
Southern State should be we'll repre-
sonted. We are glad to know that
steps are taking to give South Carolina
prominent plncc in the picture.
