Ch.mpion short Hnrd Writer.

Mr A. s. White, the we'll. known authoa of Whites Photography" famous as the Champion Shorthand Writer of the World, received the first prizes in the inc ternatienal contests at London, Edinburgh, Paris and Berlin; he came near being per- manently disabled by rheumatism. His recovery by the use of remedy infallibls in curing rheumatism and all blood diseases is told in letter from his office 02 Wash ington st., Chicago, dated June 20, 1887.
 He writes:
 "Your remedy has done wonderful ser vice for me. For the past five years I have been troubled with rheumatic pains. My right hand had become almost use- less and was gradually losing speed as @ shorthand writer. A friend of mine, Dr. Dedericl, advised me of your remedy. I used dozen bottles of s. s. and am now entirely recovered. l shall never cease to commend your excellent medicines, and wish you much success.
 Yours truly, A. s. WHITE"
 And here is another witness:

Scribners Magazine for March opens with the first of two articles on 'The Cam >paign of Waterloo" by MT. John c. Ropes, whose notable papers on the portraits of Napoleon, in this Magazine, will be re- membered. The author has made care full and elaborate study of the battle Of Waterloo, and these articles embrace great deal of valuable original criticism, as well as most accurate summary of the es- tablished facts with regard to the move ment of the opposing armies during the campaign. The first paper deals especial
 ly with the battle of Ligny, and carries the story forward into the heet of the cam paign. The illustrations are from draw ings recently made by MT. W. T. Smedley, who has visited the field of Waterloo, es- pecially commissioned by the Magazine for this purpose; also from drawings by Zogbaum and from rare old prints in the collection of MT. Ropes. Another illus trated article, of interest to the lovers, of literary treasure, is "A Shelf of Old Books Leigh Hunt," by Mrs. James T. Fields. | Franklin Leonard Pope contributes clear account. of the origin, development, and present state of perfection of the Electric Motor, with its applications to various in dustries. The second and concluding in stalment of "Mendelssohn's Letters to Moscheies" is made up of letters written from 1842 to 1946. Robert Louis Steven son continues his series of essays with some delightful recollections of "Beggars, y whom he has known. This number con- tains an unusual amount of fiction. The serial, First Harvests," by F. J. Stim- son, again transfers the action of the story to New York, and contains an amusing picture of the Stock Exchange, gives glimpses of several clubs, formulates the cUde with which respectable young New Englander faces the busy scenes of New York life, and shows some decided modih- cations which the reality brought about ln 1t. MT. Bunner's story, Natural Selec- tion, is concluded in this number. There are two complete short stories, 'The Nix ir," by Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson, fantastic sketch, in which may be read an allegory and "The Day of the Cyclone" '" by Octave Thanet, which is love story eliminating during the Grinnell, la, tor nado. The poems are by 0. P. Craneh, Bessie Chandler, Thomas Nelson Page, and Charles Edwin Markham. Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, $3 year.

; The untimely death which annually carries of thousands of human beings in the prime of human youth, is indeed terrible. The first approach of consumption is insidious, and the sufferer himself is the most unconscious of its approach One of the most alarming sympt- oms of this dread disease is, ill fact, the in- eradicable hope, which turks in the heart of the victim, preventing him from taking timely steps to arrest the malady. That it can be arrested in it's earlier stages is beyond ques- ton, as there are hundreds of we'll authenti- cated cases where Dr. Pierce's Medical Dis covery has effected a complete cure.

TrOy's Timely Topics.

TROY, s. c., July g. 1855.
The moon just eclipsed anything we have
ever seen, and we feel safe In saying that the
Investigations Of the young people no doubt
added to their stock Of knowledge. Fair Lau-
ra must have blushed and shrunk from the
gaze of her many observants. We suppose
there must have been other bushes that was
not SO visible as that OF the moon, yet It's
meaning was more significant We hear Of
several parties (of two) who sat up and blush
ed and eclipsed.
We have just learned Of the ravages OF hog
cholera in this section. Mr.. John Young re-
ports the death of several of his hogs. Mr.
John Creswell lost his fine boar on Saturday.
Crops planted late are comparatively good.
Corn that was planted carly Is almost q fall

Mr.. ]. T. Solomon who, with his wife, is
summering at Little Mountain, was In town
Saturday. He left again on Sunday morning.
Mr.. Geo. G. Bradley is quite Ill from cramp

This cry was needed by about forty negroes.

1t Is O fact by actual count that only t.ree
members of the Troy Club favor the Clemson
bequest and the candidate who will openly
oppose it will get the unanimous vote Mt this
place, otherwise to the contrary. Most Of the
citizens declare they will not vote for no man
who favors the measure Candidates pledges
are not binding the citizens TO vote for unjust
measures. The popular side is not on that
wing, and the tide of public opinion speaks
against this measure. No one objects to the
