CONTEMPLATE THE CHANCES

The month of January is the month
favorable to buyers. And especially
is this the case in first-class Dry Goods
houses. Proprietors, beside not liking
to carry any winter goods over to
another season, have to make room in
their stores for spring arrivals. Con
sequently, as rule, they make VERY
SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTIONS in prices.
Such is the case with us just now.

diseases originating in disordered Liver,
such as Dyspepsia, Billiousness, Constipa-
ton, Headache, Collie, etc. Simmons Liver
Regulator is simple and harmless, purely
vegetable, and can be safely and advantage
ously used under any circumstances. Il
acts mildly and effectually and is especial

not know another preparation which can
bring forward such Endorsements from heads
of families and those holding the highest Of

duce your docror's bill and insure for your
families health and happiness.
It seems strange but it is nevertheless true
that the world contains people who Will try
to initiate, counterfeit or substitute some

icine, risking life and health, and it be.
hooves every one to look that they buy only

Married Man and Pretty Maid.

ORANGEBURe,. Feb. 16.-One of the most
interesting topics Of conversation IN this
city for the past month has been the dlsap'
pearance of Mr. james Van Tassel: the prln-
cipal facts of which have already been pub
lished. 1t is said that he raised by mort
gaging his property, considerable sum OF
money, and in addition borrowed heavily
from the building and loan association OF
which he was member.
Mr. Van Tassels property here consists ot
two lots in an eligible and desirable part OF
the city, upon one OF which is a two-story
building, u store beneath and dwelling in
the upper story, with necessary and con-
venient outbulidings, altogether worth q
pretty considerable sum. These are under
mprtgage, the judge of probate holding one
as security to guardianship and bond fol
the children Of Mrs. Syfrett, sister Of Mrs.
Van Tassel. Mr. Van Tassel is of medium
height rather stout, and of light complexion,
and is a man OF pleasing address. lie is no,
a native of this place, but came here after
the war. He went into politics and was
he was holding when the Democratic party
came into power.
The Columbia papers speak of the dlsap'

the same time that Mr.. Van Tassel shook the
dust Of this place from his feet. Miss Callie
Nelson visited the family of Mr.. Van Tasse
here during the summer of 1887, and it is
said that Mr.. Van Tassel became very much
attached to her during her visit. She spent
several months at Mr.. Van Tassels. Miss
Nelson is said to be very handsome wo
man, rather small, with dark hair and eyes
She is about eighteen and walks very erect
Altogether she is very stylish and attractive
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
About month ago, Miss Callie Nelson, {
pretty young lady of Columbia, ran away
from her home, and day or two after leav
ing sent note back to her friends saying
she was going somewhere to seek work
There was no cause for any such act on Le!
part, as she had home with all the com
forts Of life, and her friends were greatly
surprised at the course she took.
About the same time Miss Nelson left Col
umbia, Mr. Van Tassel, prosperous mer
chant, Of Orangeburg, mortgaged all bis
property, and raised from every possible
source all the money he could, probably ter
thousand dollars, and he left : day or two
after he left his wife got q brief postal card
from him, without place or date on it. Since
is nothing has been heard from him. Itis
not known that the two are together, but al
things put together, lead the public to be-
lieve that they have run away together.

Mari0n's Drug Store Bar Room.

DR.. E. L. Brown, who few days ago was
convicted by the Town Council of selling
whiskey illegally, has presented a letter to
the council stating that, while he had oin-
tention of doing SO, he had violated the laws
Of the town, that be made mistakes as to his
authority; and that be wished to continue
the drug business on his own exclusive ac-
count. He pledged himself to conduct the
business strictly in accordance with the law;
asked that further prosecution against him
be dropped, and that some portion of the
fine imposed be RENTED.
The council has consented to withhold
further prosecution so long as there is no
violation of the State law and town ordinance,
but no portion of the fue was RENTED.
Thus, in the most agreeable manner pos
pible, came to an end what has been to the
whole people very unpleasant matter

New Regulations for Pensions.
1Ne,os and Golrser.l

Co1uMsn, February 17.-The comptroller
general to-day sent to the clerks OF Courts IN
this State printed form, which was pre-
pared by the board, and is to be filled out
by all applicants for pensions. This action
became necessary, as there were such large
number of applications being filed, and
there were grave doubts as to whether the
law was being properly complied with, and
whether many of the applicants were entl-
tied to pensions. This document, which
was sent out to-day, requires very minute
answers to everything which relates to the
condition of the applicant.
The first question is ''Are you married Z
Then, "Do you own real estate?" Describe
vour real property" The number of acres
or lots and their value, and the number Of
houses and their value are then put down
with their location.
The next question is "Does your real es-
tate yield you any income and what amount
The amount of money. cotton, corn and all
other products must then be put down.
.sDo you own any personal property is the
next question, and there is room for the
number and value of almost every animal
and article Of personal property, from goat
to steamship. "What income does your
personal property yield you?" "Do you re-
ceive saIary?" "What amount?" "Do
you receive any wages?" What amount?'
'.Do you receive an income or fees from any
profession, Office, or occupation ofany kind,
which added to the gross income OF your
farm or rents which you may receive, will
yield altogether the gross amount Of $3.50
per annum?"
These answers are sworn to by the appli-
can't and if he has wife she has to 60
through the same form and swear to it, and
then two outsiders who know the applicant
must swear that they believe the return Of
property and the schedule of income made
! by the applicant to be true.
In addition to this the following circular
was to-day sent out:
