Cigarettes Tainted with Leprosy.

G.prosy, says q physician Of San
Francisco, has not few victims among
the whites. Especially is it revealing
itself about tho lips and tongues Of boys
who smoke cheap cigarettes made by
Chinese lepera. The disease, though
fatal, is slow in giving tokens of its
FIRST approaches. The Doctor knows of
no cases, the majority largely Mongo.
lian, The disease is highly contagious.
Sleeping in bed clothes handled by in
fecled Chinese servants, even sitting on
the chairs they have used, handling the
same things, etc., is dangerous. The
disease often is not observable for four
or five years and then only by physi-
oians accustomed to examining such pa
tients. In the Sandwich Islands, where
it prevails an island is set apart for lep-
ers. Tn. hospital has OF this time 800
lepers. A vigilant eye is kept on the
lookout for traces of iucipient leprosy.
When observed the person is at once
sent to the hospital, but great many
are concealed by friends, and thus the
disease spreads. No case is discharged
cured, unless it be true that quite lately
some few recent cases have been cured

would like to know the names of the

A Family Gathering.

IT was the pleasure of the writer
on Monday last toattend the celebra
ton of the Goth birthday of Mrs Nc.
Master in Winnsboro. Around tho
board sat over 100 of the descendants
of this elderly and estimable lady.
Sons and daughters, grand children
and great grand children, all gather
around On this day to pay their de
votions to the loved woman from
whom they have all sprung, and an
occasion more full of pleasure and
Joy # has never been our good for,
tune to meet, With all the pleasure
it was also one equally impressive.
At the head of the table sat ths 10
BILE good woman, whose time of life
had far exceeded that allotted to
man. Though somewhat infrm yet
in the full possession OF al OF her
mental faculties. Around her were
those whom she had raised, watched
over and cared for, and in this vast
crowd were men who had won honor
and distinction in battle, Elep who
now are law makers and legislators,
men who hold high Offices of trust in
the banks, and men who fill honora-
bly, every walk of daily life, and ip
that crowd uot one to bring blush
or tinge to the cheek Of the aged
and venerable mother. Indeed has
she been blessed, and we hope, trust
and pray that many years may yet
attend her, and that the evening OF
her life may be as happy as hea
long life has been useful.

a Big Cotton Field.

A gentlemen told us last week that
he hid just returned from Wedge
field, in Sumter county, where he
saw the largest and finest field OF
cotton that he ever saw in all his
life. The owner, MIR. Aycock, told
him that the field contained 900
acres, and that he expected to gather
1000 bales of cotton from it. The
cotton stalks now average about
three feet in height and lap in the
rows This is farming on an exten
sive scale for our State. He has
about 500 acres more of cotton in

Many SNAKES III one.
On Saturday afternoon last MIR.
Henry Wilson, Jr., killed moccasin
snake near the creek in the lower
part of town, that measured about
five feet in length and eight inches
in circumference. The big snake
was cut open and inside of it was
found twenty, seven little snakes va
rying in size from ten to eleven inch
es. It is said that the old snake, up
on the approach of danger, will swal-
low her little ones to shield them
from harm, and this must have been
an instance of that kind.
