n1teen years OF age, VINO are auolcUeu w
smoking, and has made known some in
teresting results concerning the effects OF
tobacco upon these boys. The extent to
which tobacco was used varied, and the
effects were Of course unequal, but were
very decided in twenty-seven cases.
With twenty-five of the boys there was
disturbance of circulation, palpitation Of
the heart, imperfect digestion, sluggish.
ness of intellect, and to some extent
craving for alcoholic stimulants. Twelve
patients suffered from bleeding of the
nose, ten had constant nightmare, four
had liberated mouths, and one became
| victim of consumption. The symptoms
were most marked in the youngest chill
dren, but among those of equal age the
best fed were least affected. Eleven boys
| stopped smoking, and were cured within
year"
By reference to another column it will
be seen that the firm of Hill & Harrison
has been dissolved, the latter member
disposing of his interest to Mr.. r. s. Hill.
The drug business will be continued at
the old stand under the firm name of
Hill Bros. We bespeak for the new firm
continuance of the liberal patronage
bestowed upon the old firm. Mr.. Harri-
son has accepted position as prescription
clerk with DR.. s. F. FAINT at Newberry, S.
c., where he will go about lst July. We
regret to see Mr.. Harrison leave Ander-
son, as he is an excellent young man in
every respect. DR.. FAINT could not have
made better selection. Besides being an
accomplished apothecary, he is polite and
accommodating, and makes friend of
everybody with whom he comes in con-
tact. We commend him to the good peo-
pie of Newberry.
A lady remarked to us the other day
that she thought Anderson had several OF
the most silly, giggling young men to be
found in any town of the same size in the
State. She said she recently attended
religious meeting, and was so unfortunate
as to get seat in front of some of these
young men. During the service they
kept up continuous giggle and conver-
sation, and not only would not pay any
attention to the services themselves, but
prevented those around them who felt an
interest in the meeting from hearing
word that was spoken. She thinks that
the mothers Of these young men should
kolr than han1r t1rAne thar frnI Qnd
teach them how to behave We have no
ticed the conduct of certain young men
on several occasions, and think this lady
is right. There is some excuse for mis-
chievous boy misbehaving at times, but
when it comes to grown young men con-
docting themselves in an unbecoming
manner, it Is ridiculous. Doubtless they
think it is smart, but if there is any
smartness in such we fail to see it. 1t
shows the lack Of brains.
Old Sol made his appearance last Tues
| day after an absence of about nine days,
| during which time the whole County was
visited by heavy rains. Much damage is
reported from all sections of the County
| to the small grain crops, especially to
that which has been harvested. We
trust, however, that it is not as bad as is
supposed. On last Friday afternoon a
| very heavy rain fell in the Corner town.
| ship, damaging the growing crops and
washing the land terribly. One Of the
citizens of that section says it was deci-
| dedly the heaviest rain for the time being
that has fell there in twenty-five years.
About the same time portions of Broada-
| way township we're also visited by
heavy rain. Citizens of that section de-
scribe it as being water-spout, as the
| whole surface sor several miles around
| was deluged. The plantations and crops
of Messrs. a. e. Brown, Solomon Geer,
John Mattox and Pickens Young suffered
most In places the crops and soil were
literally washed away, hardly vestige
of vegetation being left. In the city we
had rain every day for eight days, but
| it fell steadily and did no damage except
to the wheat and oats, which is not very
extensive.
