Shall This State be Represented
at Chicago.

at Chicago.
Shall this State be represented
at the Chicago Fair is the live ques-
ton at this moment? The indica-
tions are now that it will be the
mammoth exhibition of the centu-
ry; and communities who mean
progress and advancement will
embrace the occasion to adj
vertise the world of their natu.
raj advantages and attractions.
Georgia and Alabama, our younger
sisters, rich and gorgeous in them.
selves, will be there, showing forth
their multitudinous possibilities for
development and making happy
homes. Virginia and North Caro-
lima will be there from their spruce
capped cliffs to the Westward, even
unto the cypress clad low lands in
the East that sigh to the mad
waves that beat upon their shores.
Let Jul old State be there. In her
Western hills she has iron and gold
bearing rocks; all through her bor-
ders her kaolin and precious clays
await the skilful fingers of the
artist to mould them into forms of
beauty; her phosphate beds have
slept for thousands of years and
await the talismanic touch ofcapital
to manipulate them for the exhaus-
ted fields Of the earth; her roaring
waters pour from the mountains
over the everlasting rocks and wait
the wheels of the mills to obstruct
their laughing rush to the seas; the
monarch oak, the walnut, the pop.
ular, the majestic and graceful
pine and the sad cypress cloths with
wealth and grace her mountain
sides and wave beaten shores.
These are her natural advantages
and the graces that adorn her, sim
pteG mundicis. Art has done much;
cotton, silk, tobacco, sugar, tea and
all the cereals in her wide domain
respond generously to mans efforts,
the touch of skill and industry. Let
us be there then; let us advertise
all these; we are too few to enjoy
them, too few to develop them to
even liliputian proportions. Then
let us be theie with all these signs.
This State is one Of the original
thirteen; she is mother to Georgia,
AiaDama, Mississippi, Texas Ar
kansas, and Florida. Of the Origi-
nal thirteen South Carolina Is the
Van Winkle--and is the very poor
est. Lat not the close Of the CEN
fury point her out as q laggard.
Now is her opportunity. Adver-
tbs her attractions; attract popula-
ton and capital; population and
wealth are reciprocal; the useful
arts and wealth go together; edu-
cation and the fine arts follow upon
the wake Of wealth and the useful
arts; education and the fine arts
and culture, refinement and chris
tisnty cap the climax. Let us get
ready for Chicago. The stranger

me to try your mineral water, I
did SO, and the result was most
gratifying. I felt relief after the
first day. After using il a week 1
was entirely well. 1t has been some

my general health is greatly i'm
proved. Too much cannot be said
In its praise. 1t is undoubtedly the

MR.. j. II. HARRIS,
DEAR SIR:-My en-
gagements are such that I have not
time to call the attention Of medi-
cal profession to the cases that
might be collected from the mass
that have accumulated during
the thirty.eight (3S) years of
constant use of the waters Of your
Lithia Spring. The waters of
the Lithia Spring are odorless and
cOlorless, free from salinary taste,
rather palatable. When taken in
a considerable quantity they do
not nauseate, purge or produce
any feeling of discomfort. I find
from an analysis of the waters they
contain cloride sodium, carbonate
potash, carbonate soda, carbonate
lithia, carbonate iron and suIphatc
magnesia. The waters act directly
upon the mucous coates of the
stomach and alimentary canals
they are powerfully Alternative
and tonic. They are soothing to
inflamed or irritated surfaces.
They react upon the blood, chang
ingm it from acid to alkaline.
In indigestion. catarrh of stom-
ach and gastralgia, supplemented
with a proper diet they + a cer-
tain cure. The action upon the
kidneys is marked. The sodium,
potash, soda and lithia are the best
solvents of uric acid, all calculi Of
an acid character, whether bileary
or ciptic are steadily dissolved, I
am confident that the profession
will find it very useful in cases
where this class Of water is re-
CURED. Respectfully,

The World. Largest Orchard.

In the wild district between Hama and
Haiku, during July and August, the most
beautiful and largest apple orchards in the
world can lie seen. The Wilderness of
Koolan, as the district is called, contains a
forest of native wild apple trees, countless
in number, stretching from the sea far up
the mountain sides. The trees vary from
forty to fifty feet in height, and in the har-
vest season, from July to September. are
loaded down with fruit, some white. but
mostly red. A person standing in the
midst of this orchard can look around him
for miles, up the mountains and toward
the road, and the only thing in view will
be one vast grove of apple trees literally
red with ripe and ripening fruit, the
branches of the trees bending to the
ground with the bounteous harvest.
The crop of this extensive apple orchard
which nature planted in the solitary waste
would fill a fleet of 100 steamers. The Or
chard stretches over a country from five to
ten miles wide by twenty miles long. and
many of the larger trees bear at least fif;v
barrels apiece. The fruit is delicious for
table use, and will appease both thirst and
hunger, but as yet no one has taken the
trouble to make any commercial use of tie
apples. When ripe they will not keep
more than a week, but they make excel
lent jelly and jam, and simply for the lack
of a little American enterprise millions of
barrels OF apples are permitted annually to
fall to the ground and rot.-Honolulu Cor.

tie of them, and it is not likely that they
retained much of their old popularity.
One Sir Henry Lee entered the tilt ward
every year until age prevented him. They
also kept mp the sport of fitting at the
quintain in the water. But their favorite
amusements were the pageant and the
play. The pageant came before the play,
and while the latter was performed on a
rough scaffold in an inn yard, the former
was provided with splendid dresses, music,
songs and properties of every kind. There
were pageants for the reception of the king
when he made procession into the city;
there were court pageants; there were pri-
vate pageants in great mems houses; there
were pageants got up by companies

our Soldiers Ahead.


PHILADELPHIA. August 1-Dr. r S Huide-
koper, afer a weeks absence in the militia
camps at Devon and Mt. Gretna, as mem
Der of Msjor General Snowdens staff, has re-
turned to New York for few days, and s
now busily engaged in preparing a report
upon the condition Of the Pennsylvania
militia. After an inspection of camps in va
rious paris Of the country, Dr.. Huidekoper
has reached the conclusion that the Penn
sylvania soldiery system e1eels all others,
not only in the character Of its discipline,
but also in the matter Of economy. For in
stance, it costs fifty cents day to support
the milifiaman Of New York while on camp
duty, and double that sum is required TO
make the volunteers Of New Jersey ocntent
with summer duty. Yet in Pennsylvania
the militiamen are eulogis.ic over their com
missary department, although each tented
warrior costs the state only twenty cents
daily.
1t is rumOred, by the way, that Governor
Paitison has in mind great idea for the
summer encampment Of the Pennsylvania
militia next year. A prominent member Of
his military family the other day suggested
the idea of holding an encampment ofthe
entire state militia on the BATTLEFIELD Of Get
tys5urg on July 4. of next year, as q triple
commemoration of the quadrennial Of the
landing Of Columbus, the declaration of in
dependence and the glorious victory achiev-
ed at Gettysburg during the late war. The
governor has expressed the hope Of being
able 20 carry out the idea.

A Democratic Lie.


WAsHIyeroN, July 50.-The next change
in President Harrisons cabinet will be the
retirement Of Secretary Noble from the head
Of the Interior Department. Mr.. Secretary
Noble sent his resignation 10 the President
four months ago. This information is from
official sources. and is absolutely correct
The reason the Secretary assigns for giving
up his portfolio is the condition Ofhis health.
He is troubled with an affection of the heart
somewhat similar 10 that which caused Sec
retary Windows sudden death. The latter
event decided Mr.. Noble 10 leave the position
where such strain is imposed upon his
nervous system and 20 seek rest and quiet and
some less exacting employment. President
Harris on received the resignation. bat was
evidently not as much alarmed about his
Seeretary's health as the latter was. The
document was subsequently, pigeon-holed,
and no action has yet been taken.
Secretary Noble has been absent from the
capital nearly all the time since be determin-
ed 70 leave the Cabinet. Il Is thought to be
the purpose Of the President TO have him
stay in Office until Congress meets in Deem
bcr, when be win be appointed to one ofthe
new Circuit Court judgeships. This wou Id
be congenial position for Mr. Noble, and
one which he would likely accept. 1t is
thought somewhat strange that in view Of
the fact that his resignation was in the hand
Of the President. Secretary Noble should
have insisted on an answer 10 all inquiries
that ne had not resigned, nor did be intend
to- The fact that he has resigned cannot be
truthfully denied, as the paper is nov in the
hands Of the President.

Fight with a copperhead.

YoRK, Pa, July 2l.-Miss Anna Ben
ninghan, residing in Franklin township,
this county, had terrible experience with a
large oopperhead snake while gathering
blackberries to-day. Before she was aware
of the reptiles presence it mad encircled her
wrist with its tail, and with portion Of its
body endeavoIed to handcufT her other wrist
while with IT'S head it tried to strike her
face, but fortunately for her It had not meas
ured the distance correctly.
The thought occurred TO her, she said. to
throw up her arms, which she did so sud
denly and with such force that the kissing
copperhead dropped to the ground. Still re-
tanning her presence Of mind, the girl quick
ly brought down her foot or the reptiles
head and held it there while she screamed
for help. She was heard by two
men working in a field. who rushed to
her assistance and killed the snake.
