MICHIGAN APPoRTIoNMENT LAW
Being Heard in the Supreme Court Of tn
United States.

United states.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-In the SUI
preme court today the Michigan ap-
porGionment case was heard on appeal
from the decision of the Michigan su-
preme court affirming the constitu-
tionality of the Miner law, Little, Nc
Pherson ct al, plaintiffs in error, VS..
Blacker, secretary of state. Col. FL.
Duffield of Michigan opened the case
for Mcpherson ct al, who represents
the Republican party which is seek
ing to have the law declared uncon-
stitutional. The political aspect OF
the case is very pronounced. as 1t is
conceded that the effect of the decis-
ion in favor of the validity of the law
will give some of the electoral votes
to the Democrats. That the Republi-
cans appreciate its Importance both in
this election and in its possible far
reaching consequences in the future
is shown by the appearance of Attor-
ney General Miller in the case as one
of the counsel on the Republican side
of the question.
The attorney general did not appear
in his official capacity but was a pri-
vate counsellor. He took part in the
argument. 1t is very unusual in this
country for the attorney general to
participate in a private case. and his
appearance today was the subject of
talk among lawyers The attorneys
who took part in the argument today
were Attorney General Elds, Judge
Chaplin, formerly of the supreme
court of Michigan, and Otto Kirsch-
ner, formerly attorney general, in
favor of the constitutionality of the
law, aud on the other side II. M.
Duffield and Attorney General Miller
and w. A. Baker, leading Demo-
cratic lawyer of Michigan, was re-
tanned on the Republican side of the
case.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot

There is only n way to cure deafness.
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the eusta-
chan tube. When this tube gets infiamed
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 destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh.
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

In Memory OF Dear Little AIlene, In
FAINT Daughter of Brother James and
Sister Rosa Hutchinson, who left this
World on the Morning OF June 18th,
to Live with the Angels.

We love to think of om dear little one
In the mansions above SO bright,
Free from all suffering, sickness and pain,
With naught surrounding her but light.
How sadly well miss her here below,
In the home she made so dear;
Her ways so winning, her smiles so sweet,
We watched her with constant care.
Atlength she grew sick, we became so sad,
We watched her by day and by night;
She rapidly grew worse; we saw her de
part;
She entered the regions of light.
With sorrowful hearts we laid her to rest
In the graveyard near our home,
There she will sleep in quietness sweet
TIL God bids her arise and come.
Our hearts are breaking with sorrow so
great
Oh God! cone and comfort us now;
Help us to say, with submission and trust,
Thy will, not ours, be done.
Give the dear parents thy spirit of grace,
And help them, without murmuring, to
say,
The Lord has given, He has taken away,
For the spirit of submission we pray.

DEAR COURIER Recently several dam
aging rains have fallen in this section.
However, crops look fairly we'll Corn
tassels and shoots are making their
appearance.
The candidate who goes a cumming
before crops are laid by will get left.
Blackberries are in season now, and
there is no danger of anybody starving
for awhile, even if hard times is the
subject of general conversation.
There IS a good deal of sickness in our
community just now. Mrs. c. F. Jones,
3rs. j. T. Kelley, Miss Elizabeth Trotter
and Miss Belle Rankin are all i'll. We
hope that each and all may soon be re-
stored to their wonted health.
Master Paul Gilliard, who recently had
his arm fractured by falling from a wa
gon, is convalescent We hope he IS not
permanently injured.
Why have we no candidates for the Sc
nate and Legislature? 1sitpossible that
none of our citizens want to go to Column
bia to represent our county? You had
better look out, gentlemen, or ''Old jeff"
will volunteer to serve his county; and
you know he's a farmer. These days it
seems that the farmer has the inside
track, especially if he is literally sun
Drowned.
1t is not long now until ''laying-by'
time, and it would sound natural to hear
people say picnic" ''big m%eetin'' and
big "speakin'" soon.
Hello, neighbor! don't those fine shade
trees in your yard injure your crop half
a mile off ?
Miss l.. L. Wyskoff, of New German
town, n. j., who has been teaching dur
ing the winter and spring months in the
family of Mrs. C. Jones, leaves Thursday
morning for the North. She is an esti-
mable lady and made many friends dur
ing her residence in the South.
Mr.. J. E. Kelley is at Tomassee on a
visit to his wife and relatives.
So the Democrats nominated Cleveland
again! We fear that this nomination
will lose us some votes in the South and
West, on account of Mr.. Cleveland's well
known silver views. But a man of oppo-
site views would lose strength in the
North and East Surely not enough
! Sontherners are foolish enough to vote
for the Third Party to lose Cleveland any
of the solid South. Cleveland before

ions, JEFF PERKINS.

The TownYille High School.
BY LIZZIE GRANT.

You know I told you a few weeks ago
That of our SCHOOL, would tell you some
thing more
We haven't very much to tell you to-day,
But hope it will interest you, what We do
have to say,
AS it is about our school that we prize so
high,
And that closes on the fifteenth day of
July.
Nearly ali the other schools are already
vacated,
But ours continues, as l have already
stated; 49,
Nor any of us are sorry, for we all like to
go:
The bows like it much better than to have
cotton TO hoe.
To go to school this season is the girls
great delight,
For after studying all day they can sleep
so well at night.
But soon the day will come when our
school must vacate;
Then We'll lay away our books and states:
But with not as much pleasure as you all
may suppose,
For it makes us feel sad for III school to
close.
OF course we are glad to get to rest for
awhile,
And enjoy the sweet breezes of our CHI
mate so mild.
have news to tell you that we know
will make you glad
are going to have the best time we
ever have had,
For u teacher told Us that Oh the very
last day
We might have a picnic before we all
scatter sway.
We want all our school-mates to be sure
and be there,
And if we don't have a nice time we shall
certainly think queer.
There We'll meet all our old school-mates
Zs so dear,
Who are being trained with the tenderest
care,
We want all the parents to be present, too;
For it will make us feel merrier than If
there were only a few;
So come with your baskets filled up to
the top;
But guess you will have to thin out the
chicken crop"
We hope our teacher will enjoy the day,
too,
For he has learned us as much as any
teacher could do;
He used so much patience when we were
stumbling along,
Trying to distinguish the right from
the wrong"
We thank him so much for his close at
tention,
And many other things toe numerous to
mention.
We all wish him a pleasant vacation,
Aud hope he is pleased with his new STU
Enough so any way to teach for us again,
For about his work this year we've heard
no one complain.
SO now if you'll give us space in your pa
per this time,
Twill be some time again before we an
noy you with another little rhyme.

train over the South Carolina railroad
made its first run from Charleston to
Columbia, then the longest line Of rail
way in the United States. This train on
its return carried the happy couple on

Der. 1862. and two children diedin infancy.
There are seventeen living grandchildren.
