A Liberal Proposition,

Who has not heard of that paragon
of family papers, the enterprising and
popular Weekly Detroit Free Press?
For generation its name has been a
household word, and has become a
synonym for all that is excellent, pure
and elevating in journalism. 1t is de-
lightfully entertaining without resort
to cheap sentimentalism, instructive
without being prosy or pedantic.
Combining the literary qualities Of the
expensive magazine with the bright,
breezy characteristics of the newspaper,
it leaces nothing to be desired by the
average reader. It is looked upon as a
welcome visitor by every family who
reads it, while thousands regard it as
indispensable and would on no account
60 without it. An enormous circula-
ton of 125, 900 copies per week attests
its wonderful popularity. Recognizing
the fact that there are those who are
unfamiliar with its surprising merits
as home paper, the publishers offer
to send The Free Press to them for the
balance of this year lover five months)
for only 80 cents, club CT four for 81, 90
or club Of ten for $500. Ali our readers
should subscribe at once. Sample copies
free. 1t.

From the Nation.

We have been having nice showers
and the crops are improving rapidly.
Corn generally is looking well. Cotton
looks like We might make living out
of it now if the price would get little
better. The small grain crop is short
turn out, though the quality Of the
grain is thought to be good
Every thing is on the stir getting
ready for the Sunday-school conven-
ton on the 30th and 3lst. The fatted
calf will be killed, not for tue prodigal's
return, for we don't have those sort of
boys around Trinity-but it is to feed
the good people who will be there,
and as the crop are laid by We want
all to come, the lawyers and doctors
are welcome, and you, Mr.. Editor, be
be sure to come. We want to puff YOU
a !ittle-not by blowing wind and taffy
at you, but by examining you with
good things to eat.
Friday, the Oath, was the dav set
apart to clean offthe grave and church
yard and the people came from all
around the neighborhood, and now we
have our church yard in fine order:
and as for neatness our graveyard can
not be eNcelled.
Some day hope to give you q ram
bldg sketch of "The Nation" and the
origin of it. DEN1zEN.

A DUAL CONVENTION.
The Charleston Democrats Now have Two
Executive Committees.
Especial to the Register.

CHARLESTON, S. c., July 2s.-The
unterrified Democracy of Charleston
went to pieces to-day without blood
shed, but with more bitterness than
was ever Known even in the days OF
active Repu blicanism. 4 dual conven-
tion was held and two executive com
mltteeS are now in the field. The re-
formers with large numbers of bogus
delegates met in another part of the
city and marched down to Hibernian
Hall in a body headed by eX-Mayor
w. A. Courtenay. They rushed in the
hall, capturing most Of the chairs, and
started in to elect Courtenay chairman,
before the chairman of the Democratic
Executive Committee had called the
convention to order The chairman,
however, called the body to order and
then left the chair with nobody to pre-
side over the convention. The regulars
jumped in then and elected B. F. Nc
Cabe chairman and captured the books,
records and gavel. The reformers then
elected Courtenay chairman and the
two conventions proceeded Oh with
business.
Futlle efforts were MADE oy conSerEa-
tives to bring about a compromise.
The regulars offered to elect a reforme
chairman if both McCabe and Courte-
nay would vacate. Courtenay declined
and the two conventions went on, both
in the same hall, and elected each an
executive committee. w. A. Boyle
was elected chairman by the regulars
and F. D. Jervey by the reformers.
The spirit in the party is now re-
garded as hopeless and feeling between
the two wings is intensely bitter. 1t is
regarded as almost certain that two
tickets will be in the field for tie
mayoralty. Courtenay probably will
head the reform wing and Bryan the
regular. Both wings will endeavor to
get recognition from the State executive
committee.

Especial to Columbia Register
PENDLEToN, S. c., July 2S.-The lay
ing of the cornerstone of Clemson Col
loge brought together very large con-
course Of people here to-day, notWith-
standing the very inclement weather.
But for the rain the woods would have
been literally full Of people. The cere-
monies were under the control Of the
Masonic fraternity, Most Worshipful
Grand Master IZlar presiding. The
order met in the mechanical hall and
marched to the site Of the college,
where Rev. D. W. Hiott offered fer
vent and earnest prayer, both of thanks
and invocation. After which the stone
was lowered to its position by three
successive motions, The deposits were
then placed in the vault. The grand
architect next tried the stone and de-
clared it to be true. The corn, wine
and oil were then poured on the stone,
after which the grand honors were
taken up from the Grand Master. Next
came the invocation. Most Worship
full Grand Master Izlar gave 4 short ac-
count CT the history of Masonry.
The ceremony here closed and the
people repaired to the stand after the
benediction. The Nonrg American
cornet band furnished music for the
occasion. Prayer was offered at the
stand by Rev. B. +. Wilson, of Con-
verse College. Governor Tillman was
then introduced and spoke about half
an hour.
Major G. Lamb Buist, of Charleston,
was the next speaker. He spoke most
eloqueNtly Of the Importance of Glenn
son College and the cause Of education
generally. The education of all classes
was urged with great earnestness. His
address was full of intense earnestness
and good, sound sense. He was fre-
quently applauded.
Col. l.. L. Polk, of North Carolina,
was next introduced to the audience.
He spoke clearly and camly, giving
some good suggestions. a little rain
fell but the people listened on. He de-
fined education to be that training
which will supply the weapons with
which to fight the battles of life. His
speech abounded in the very finest
language and carefully expressed
thoughts. Both his and Major Buist's
speeches were we'll worthy of the occa-
sion and the men.
Here closed the programme of the
day and the Grand Lodge Of the State
again assembled in the mechanical
hall and adjourned. The crowd was
estimated at from two to four thousand.
Good order prevailed and everything
passed off quietly and successfully.

THREE

Has it ever occurred to you that, in
selecting company in which to assure
your life, there are three points which,
if correctly ascertained, will determine
beyond all question the best company
for you to choose?
Here they are
FIRsT-SAFETY.

THIRD-RESULTS.
L. SAFETY Cor StrenSth) is all impor-
tant: for an insurance contract is either en-
tered into Tor long period Of years Or for life
In the case of an insurance company las
with an individual o. with any other business
organiza:ion,, strength is determined;by the
amount Of assets OVER AND ABOVE ALL LA
BILITIEs: or, in other words, by the Surplus.
As the surplus Of the Equitable Life kssur-
ance Society OF the United States on Dec.
3Jst, 1897, amounted to Twenty-three and Three
Quarter Millions "a sum many millions in
excess Of the surplus held by any other life
company in the wo-!d) and as the Equltable's
ratio Of assets to liabilities IS 125 per cent,
i. e., SIPS to meet each 500 Of Indebtedness "a
percentage greatly in excess OF that OF any
other leading company, the question of
greatest safety must be decided in favor of
the Equitable.

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they can not
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is onlyone way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
Catarrh) that we can not cure by taking
