s'Whiskey-Scarred Veterans"

Altogether, it is a pitiful story that Mrs.
Chapin'S friend tells about the condition OF
the Soldiers Home at Hampton, Virginia,
where 2,70U Union veterans are supported
by the Uuited States Government. Just
think of it-"eighty per cent of the men
drink to excess" three of them have been
known to be ished out in one day from the
river into which they had tumbled while in
o tipsy condition, and they buy their wbis-
key at "a National saloon" licensed by the
Government and established at the Soldiers
Home, so that the veterans can have their
liquor handy. But worse than this, on
pension days and pay days no passes are
issued to the veterans so that they can 60
outside the gates; but the money is paid to
them and the National saloon gets its share
Of the bounty given by generous country
to its brave defenders. It is also worthy of
note that National flag floats over the
Nationa! saloon.
About a month ago the Rev J. p Abbott,
Of Medford, Massachusetts,, preached a SER
mon on the liquor question, in the course
Of which he said that '.more men owed their
disabilities to whiskey from the suffers
''tent during the war than to shot and
shell. and characterized large proper
ton Of the Grand Army of the Republic as
''whiskey-scarred and MANNED veterans D.
The story that comes from the Soldiers
Home at Hampton appears to show that the
suffers tent is accomplishing its work as
well in time of peace rs it did in time Of
war.-Neees and Courier.

Dr.. Andrew Siroonds,

The death of DR.. Andrew Simonds, which
occurred yesterday (June 13th) can hardly
be described rs in any way surprise to the
community, for it was known for some days
back that he was lying in a very critical
condition. But for ali the warning of the
approaching end of Suffering, the death Of
DR.. Simonds must strike the Charleston
public with the shock Of the removal of a
veritable "paladin Of finance"
Dr. Simonds was born in Abbeville coun.
ty. South Carolina, and the principal work
of his life is summed up in the history Of
the First National Bank, Of Charleston, the
affairs Of which he has successfully conduct
ed for quarter of a century, and the stock
of which to-day stands one hundred and
five per cent. above par, or at two hundred
and five dollars share.
DR.. Simonds was man of considerable
wealth, having amassed the bulk Of ltin the
management Of his bank. He possessed
considerable artistic taste, and his hand
some residence on South Battery contains
perhaps the finest art gallery in the State of
South Carolina. AS fnancier he stood
before the public man of note and promi-
nence, and his death therefore leaves quite
q void Charleston H,orG

A FearEul Warming.

Iu less than thee years ten esimi-
nails IN York county have ended their
lives on the galiows, five at one time
without trial, and FIVE after convic-
ton in the courts.
This is certainly an appalling rec
ord, and should be a fearful warning
to the living. First comes the execu-
ton Of Colombus Crawford, who was
tried, convicted, and executed for
murder. Next comes the lynching OF
FIVE parties charged with the most
horrible crime of killing little inno-
cent boy. In December last two Grim
nails were executed for the same crime
of murder, and only last Friday the
execution of two others. Several other
murders have been committed in the
county dnring that time, but the par
ties charged have made their escape
for the time, but certainly the record
is large enough. It should serve as q
warning to all evil disposed persons,
Ter it has been established that York
do not propose to fail in the
Zormance of their duty and let the
6ilty go unpunished. We hope that
THE fearful warning will be needed
and that our jurors will not soon be
called upon to sit in judgment on
similar crimes. It should ever be re-
membered that the way Of the trans
gressor is hard, and that sooner OR
later his fate will oyertake him.-Tork

Hammond On Zee Wafer.

Here are some of the charges the lively
DR.. William A Hammond brings against
tie deadly ice pitcher: It's contents may
cause death if taken when the body is over
heated. A big drink of ice water is as bad
rs a kick in the stomach. Americans have
the poorest teeth of any people, and ice
water is the cause Of it. As to the stomach,
whole chamber Of horrors is created in its
insides by the ice water fend. Ice water
causes confirmed dyspepsia. But that is
the least Of its train Of evils. 1t also pro-
duces catarrh Of the stomach Nay, there
IS reason to believe that 1t originates cancer
Of the stomach too. Americans are more
subject to that disease than other nations
are. Ice water lessons the hearts action.
It also impairs the sense of taste. And
once DR.. Hammond knew fancy ice cold
soda fountain drink to be followed by 4 ter
rlble case Of facial neuralgia.

SlOO REWARD s1OO

The readers of the TINES will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is catarrh. Halls
catarrh cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being q constitutional disease, requires q
constitutional treatment Halls catarrh
cure is taken internally. acting directly up
on the blood and mucus surfaces Of the
system, thereby destroying the foundation
Of the disease, and giving the patient
strength, by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its cura-
tive powers, that they offer one hundred
dollars for any case that it fails to cure.

houses are damaged. A part of the
debris has been burned, cremating
the bodies underneath it. A few
bodies ere found every day, but in q

total loss of life was about 1000, on

Scrofula

is form of blood poison which de-
scends from parent to child; some
times it onits one generation to ap-
pear in the next. It is a taint which
must be eradicated from the system
before cure can be made. Swift S
Specific drives out the virus through
pores of the skin, and thus relieves
the blood of the poison. Mercury
and potash mixtures dry up the sores
of scrofula and other blood diseases,
only to bottle up the poison in the
system, which of course is certain to
break out at some weak spot, as the
throat, nasal organs and lungs.

and one will draw from the box containing
the names of the paid up subscribers and
the other from the box containing the tick
cts. The committee viii at every drawing
Zone from each box) inspect the tickets that
have been drawn and announce the result.
For instance, suppose the little boys have
each drawn ticket from their respective
boxes. The name drawn by one little boy
is Always Loseum, and the ticket drawn by
the other is blank That means Mr.. A.
Loseum has failed to secure prize. The
little boys draw again. The name is Lucky
Fellow, and the prize ticket has sewing ma
chine on it. That means Mr.. L. Fellow
has secured the sewing machine for his
prize The drawing will thus continue till
all the prizes have been given away.

scribers may rest satisfied that everything
will be done in fairness.
