For two years I suffered terribly
with stomach trouble, and was for
all that time under treatment by .
physician. He finally, after trying
everything, said stomach was about
worn out, and that I would have to
cease eating solid food for time at
least. I was so weak that I could
not work. Finally on the recon-
mendation of friend who had used
your preparations

Clover, Honey.

An enthusiast on the subject states
that each head of clover is composed of
about sixty distinct flower tubes, and
each of these contain sugar not to ex-
coed 5O0th part of a grain. The pro-
boscis of the honey bee must therefore
be inserted into 500 clover tubes before
one grain of sugar can be obtained.
There are 1000 grains in a pound, and
as honey contains three-fourths of its
weight of dry sugar, each pound of
clover honey would represent the in
sertion of the proboscis into $500. 600
clover heads.

Turner's as Soldiers.

eff there was war between the
United States and another nation"
said an army officer, as he stood on
the sidewalk and watched q COM
pany of Turner's march by behind
a brass band, " the Turner organ
izationz of the country could put
into the field within twenty-four
hours 100000 athletic young men
who would make as good soldiers
as ever carried musket," writes a
reporter for the Cincinnati Com
merclal Gazette. "They are all
young, very muscular, above the
average in intelligence, and they
have been SO strictly disciplined
and drilled that brigade of them
would become a terror to the enemy
within couple of months. People
complain sometimes that the young
men of the country do not take any
interest in military affairs, but they
forget that the Turner organiza-
tions are training soldiers who will
make the best soldiers the world
ever knew if the occasion comes for
them to be called to the front"

THE ARBITRATION AT A sTANDsTILL.

A World special from Washing
ton says: 1t appears that another
crisis has been reached in the ne
gotiations between this govern
ment and Great Britain with regard
to the seal fisheries in Behring Sea.
1t is learned from reliable source
that Blaine intends to send to Con-
gress within a few days special
report on the subject, which will
report another failure TO agree
even upon the mode of proceedings
to effect a final agreement. Both
sides, it appears, are willing to
leave to arbitration the question of
sovereignty in the waters of Behr-
ing Sea, and consequently the right
of the United States revenue cut
ters to seize or interfere with Cana
dian sealing vessels outside of the
three-miles limit. But they cannot
agree upon the method of getting
at this arbitration and they cannot
agree upon a temporary regulation
to be applied during the time which
must elapse before the result OF the
arbitration can be known. The
British Minister proposes that for
the temporary period it shall be
understood that all seal hunting in
any part of Behring Sea shall be
entirely prohibited during May and
June, and from October to Deem
Der, and that during July, August
and September no marauders shall
be permitted to land on the sea
islands, and no sailing vessel shall
be permitted to approach within
ten miles of the islands. Blaine il

sition. July to September he re

The Public Library .

To The Editor of the Herald and
News: AS the question of public
library for Newberry is now being ag-
itated, the following account of public
libraries in the State Of Massachusetts,,
may be of interest. It is taken from
the annual report of the State Board of
Education and was prepared by acting
State Librarian Tillingport. From this
report it appears that in 1889 there
were from ten to fifteen town libraries
containing together only 5000 to 1000
volumes, 20 which the citizens of these
towns had the right of access; the aggre-
gate number of volumes in the public
Libraries, of all kinds, in the State was
about 100000, to which but little more
than 100000, or one-seventh of the pop
ulation, had any right of access. There
are now 175 towns and cities having
free public libraries under municipal
control and 24S Of the 351 cities and
towns contain libraries in which the
people have rights or free privileges.
There are about 100000 volumes in
these libraries, available for the use Of
2,104, 224, ofthe 2,22S, 943 inhabitants Of
the State by the last census. The gifts
of individuals in money, not including
gifts of books for libraries and library
buildings, exceed S., 900. There are
103 towns (townships) in the State
with population Of only l34, 7l9 which
do not have public libraries. But these
are only small towns, with slender val
uation. I call attention to these in
teresting facts, hoping they may serve
as an incentive to our peoplein making
at least a small beginning in so i'm
portant matter. y

The 4. L. p. Conference.

The Conference of the A. R. P.
Churches of Newberry County con-
vened at Kings Creek church on Sat-
urday, March 18th, 1891. Notwith-
standing the bad roads there was a
pretty fair turn out on Saturday. All
of the churches were represented ex-
cept the Prosperity Church. DR.. +. {:
Jones, the President was present, and
presided. The DR.. makes an excellent
presiding officer, Mr.. S. f. Brown the
secretary being absent, c. +. Boyd was
requested to act.
The different subjects on the pro-
gramme, were fully discussed by diff
ferent members of the conference, all
present seemed tc enjoy the discussion !;
two subjects were discussed before din
ner and two after. The delegates were
not disappointed in the expectation of
being handsomely entertained by the
good people Of this historic church.
The writer had so many pressing in
vltations to spend Saturday night un-
til he somewhat regretted he could not
divide up little, but it was his pleas
ure to spend the night with his es--
teemed friend, Mr.. A. J. Gibson and
his interesting family.
Sabbath morning dawned clear, and
there was a good congregation in at
tendance Prayer meeting at 10 O'Clock
was conducted, in the absence Of Geo.
S. Mower, Esq, by c. F. Boyd. Rev.
f. P. McClintock preached two most
excellent sermons which were listened
to attentive!y by the congregation,
Mr.. McClintock is at home among
these people, having served them ac..
ceptably as pastor for a number OF
years.
In visiting Kings Creek church
now there are two familiar faces we
greatly miss, Mr.. Joseph Caldwell
aud Col John S. Renwick. These two
men were pillars in that church and
are greatly missed.
This conference was as pleasant a
meeting as we ever attended. The
conference adjourned to meet at Pros
perity church on Saturday before the
fifth Sabbath of May.

PLANT CORN.

The AGRICULTURAL editor Of the Au-
sQsta Chronicle advises the farmers 10
plant corn and plenty it. The her
Aid and News is Of the opinion that the
advice is sound, and it would be well
TO heed it. Corn is about as high II
not hieher than it has been IN ten
wears, and there is not much prospect
of its getting much lower. Gotten Is
selling for less than it has in forty
wears and we do not see much prospect
Of its getting any higher.
There has been so much rain already
this spring that it is hardly probable
that we will have any freshets TINS
summer in the bottoms, and it might
prove good scheme to put ina gooo
crop of corn. It will not take so much
work to make it, and certainly the
farmer cannot afford to make cotton
at : cents pound and buy corn at one
dollar bushel.. The Chronicle says:
"a writer in the Southern Alliance
Farmer announced last week that the
Alliance was going into politics. Sup-
pose it goes into the corn heid. Ih7s
is the place to get the money oack' l.
the farmer is Oppressed corner IN the
corn field will make better comolne
than any political conclave: Here are
clean furrows and equal rights to all
special privileges to none. Ine corn
tassel is a better decoration than that
of the secret lodge. A hundred aces
in corn is a better possession than the
presidency of the Alliance"
