OBITUARY.


IN MEMORY OF LITTLE ELSIE MILDRED.
On tho Sd of December, 1880, just one
year ago to-day, tho courts of Heaven
rang ous with welcome at the arrival of
a released spirit from it's earthly tene-
ment, and the soul Of little ELSIE MIL
DRIED SCHUMACHER, aged two months
and fourteen days. entered into the rest
prepared for tho children of God.
Slumber sweetly, dearest one,
On thy lowly couch of rest,
While We kneel and try to murmur,
God docs all things for the best.
Though thy spirit is in Heaven,
Where we hope some day to meet,
Thy memory we will love and cherish,
Until our hearts shall cease to beat.

Our Tomassee Correspondence.

ToMAssEE, S. c., Dec. /, 1890.
DEAR COURIER: AS we have not
scnt Il communication lately, we will
cndeavor to give you a few items.
Corn gathering is about completed,
and "corn shuckin's" and dances are
Gin fashion" at present.
The air is very crisp in the early
morning, reminding one of winter.
Since the smoke of the recent
Gubernatorial battle has cleared up,
and the result known, we might say
From March to November
1t was give and take,
But now the battles over,
And Tillman takes the cake.
The elections for Governors and
Congressman all over the Union
were a surprise, or rather, the results
were to most people. But what
could have been expected but over
whelming defeat at the polls of the
Republican party after passing snch
a monstrosity as the Mckinley tariff
bill? And the election law, which
passed the Lower House, and the
revolutionary and tyrannioal rules
adopted by Speaker Tom Reed.
Happily, Mckinley was retired by
his constituency, and there is strong
probability that the. great viliier of
the South, J. J. ingalls,, of Kansas,
will be allowed to stay at home by
the combination of the Democrats
and Farmers Alliance Assemblymen.
If the present tidal wave con-
t%inues, there ia little doubt of a
Democratic victory in 1892. Cleve-
land, Hill and Campbell, of Ohio,
are Presidential probabilities, with
Boyd, of Nebraska, Peck, of Wis
consin, or Gen. Palmer, of Illinois,
second on the ticket. "
Rev. J. S. Abercrombie finished
his years preaching at Oconee M. E,
church Sunday, November 28d, by
preaching an instructive sermon to 8
good sized congregation.
Crops in this section seem TO "turr
out" better than was expected, espc.
cially cotton, srd on the whole, we
think 1890 may be considered ar
average crop year.
And by tho way, what about that
new paper to be established at Wal
halla9 Three papers in one county
of not quite a thousand square miles
and q fraction more than $4,000
inhabitants, and another n to BIZ
established! That would DO q pape,
to a little more than four thousand
people, not quite a thousand families
and not nearly all Of them taking
papers of any kind. We are not ar
expert, but it looks like the news.
paper business is already fully devel.
oped in this county. However, "tht
more the merrier," and we shall be
impatient to see the sheet now pro.
posed.
We regret to chronicle the deatf
of Mr.. John Beatty, one of oul
community's most aged and esti,ma.

A RARE OPERATION.
A Tumor Removed From the Brain OF
Patient.

From the st. Lduis Globe Democrat.
A surgical operation of rare interest, and
one which illustrates the wonderful achieve
ments Of modern science. was performed by
prominent surgeon in this city yesterday.
The operation consisted of nothing less than
the removal of tumor weighing two
ounces from the brain of a patient at the
Sisters Hospital The operation was per-
formed by DIR. N. B. Carson, and was wit
messed By a number Of his professional
brethren.
TIE operation of removing a tumor of
the brain has been performed seventeen
times up to 1889, and has been performed
several times since. Saveral OF these oper
atlons have been done in ST. Louis. The
case treated yesterday is Of special interest
on account Of the unusual size Of the tumor
1t is, of urse, too early to know whether
or not the operation will result in the recov
cry of the patient, but afforded the only
hope for recovery possible A considerable
percentage of the cases heretofore operated
upon have been successful. f!t.l
The operation, of course involves the re-
moval of portion of the skull and the sepa-
ration OF the tumor by the usa of the knife
But the actual operation scarcely involves
as much skill as the diagnosing OF the disease
and the locating of the tnmor. Medical
science. however, has so separated and de-
fined the functions of the brain that it en-
abes the skilled surgeon to locate disease in
that organ, and it was by this means that
DR.. Corson located the tumor removed yes
terday. The accuracy of his diagnosis was
proved by the finding of the tumor exactly
where he had located it from observation of
the patients symptoms The character of
the tumor has not yet been determined, but
it will be the subject of future scientific in
vestigation,

LoNasHoREMEN USE THREATS.
They Start Boycott on a Couple of
Stevedores.

OCSVSOOr6S.
The colored Lumber and Timber Work
fngmen's Union Association publish a no.
tice to day of the passage of resolution
by the union to finish all the vessels that it
is now loading for Mr.. Charles Ramsey aud
Sam Daniels (coloredl, and to have nothing
more to do with them afterward.
In effect the carrying out of the resolu-
ton Is boycott by the union against the
two stevedores. A member of the union said
last night that the reason for the action is
because Ramsey and Daniels were employing
non-union men, and were not treating the
union men right.
There appears to be trouble brewing be-
tween the stevedores and longshoremen
working In lumber. The union has raised
the price of labor, and is arbitrary in its
demands, the shippers say.
The shippers complain OF the prices
charged by the union, and they say that he
union is working green men and giving very
poor service. One Of the shippers men
toned the following instance last night:
The captain of the schooner Emma Hether,
which is loading lumber. engaged with the
union to load the vessel on the dav agreed
upon, the union men failed to turn up and
the captain hired non-union men and began
loading. The next day the union men
came down to begin the job and when they
found the non-union men at work, they re-
Quired of the captain that he discharge
them. This the captain refused to do, say
ing the union men had not kept their con-
tract. The union men would not touch the
work and left the vessel.

DOWRIES IN FRANCE.
The Trouble French Girl Has to Get
Settled In Life.

Ine Trouble french Girl Has to Get
Settled In Life.
From the January North american Revielo.
The question of money In the dowry Is
the tender spot in all French marriages.
A poor girl who goes into rich family of
the middle class of society has to climb a
veritable calvary before she can be united
to the man she loves. All the circumstances
connected with the wedding presents, with
the furniture which her .fiance buys, all the
matters connected with her trousseau, and
with the contract which establishes her
share Of the property in the future, are SO
many humiliatiug obstacles which distress
her to the heart, and infict upon her pride
wounds that will never cease to bleed. To
what length do these well-known defects
and intrigues extendl And how many
young girls go sorrowfully to mar
riage with the feeling-the certainty
that they are being married for their dow
ries There is no class of French society,
from the peasant to the nobleman, where
the same spirit of covetousness and the
same scenes do not reappear proportion
ately, altered only by the different systems
for the settlements of the brides personal
property-tlIat is her dowry. Equal mar
riages or equal conditions of marriage
among the peasants, or the middle class, or
the aristocracy, are called marriages de con-
UeHGnce,; and they are generally the hap
piest, not because they bring the blessed
joys of choice and love with them, but be-
cause, owing to the fact that the prejudices
of French families in the matter of dowry
are not in that case shocked or forced to
make concessions or sacrifices, the life of
the young people flows on less disturbed by
reproaches, less tormented, and, therefore,
haDDier.
