Na';ed in the Mountains.

Fanny Siddons. the insane girl who
escaped from the Laurytown (Pa.) Aims
house about four weeks ago and for whom
the mountains have been searched by
numerous bands OF men is, according to
the story told by two boys, roaming about
in perfectly nude condition and as wild
as were the original dwellers on these
mountain sides. The search for Fannie,
which was kept up for several weeks,
he'd been abandoned, as every part OF the
country had been searched. 1t was
thought the girl had either perished or
had made her way into another section.
Yesterday, however, two boys, named,
John Kugler and Thomas Serrick, from
Sandy Run, came into town telling
remarkable tale of what they had seen.
1t appears that the boys had started for
chestnuts and while walking through the
woods heard wild shrek. 1t alarmed
them and they started to. run. AS they
broke through the brush they saw the
nude form of a woman crouching against
the ground. Her disheveled hair hung
in knots about her shoulders and wild
glare seemed to fill her eyes, giving
Wol6sh expression to her thin, emaciated
face. The boys stood spellbound, gazing
at her, until aroused by the strange
creature jumping to her feet and at the
same time uttering a piercing Shrek.
Both were frightened almost out OF their
wits, and lost no time in putting safe
distance between them and the woman.
They ran direct to their homes. One OF
the boys WAS so excited he could not
speak for several minutes. When ne
related the story Of his experience II
created great astonishment among those
present.
The story of Fannio Siddons' disappear
aace was at once recalled, and no one
doubted that the wild woman described
by the bows was the absent alrnshouse
girl. A searching party at once set out
to find and capture her. At the same
time word was sent to the poor authori-
ties. All last night men carrying Ian
terms secured the forest, but when morn
ing dawned they returned to report fail
ure, To-day the search was continued
aud, although drenching rain poured
down, the little village was almost de-
serted, its inhabitants having joined In
the effort to secure the unfortunate girl.
This evening Willie Brandnycr, lad
about 10 years of age, came running in
from the woods. He was terribly ex-
cited, and related story similar to that
told by the Serrick boy and his COM
panion yesterday. He says that he
encountered q woman stark naked near
the picnic ground. His statement cor
roborated that made by the other boys,
and there is little doubt that it is Miss
Siddons. How she had eluded the
searchers last night and to-day is the
mysterious part Of all. 1t is supposed
that she has discovered cave somewhere
in the forest, from which she comes only
when in search of food.

Delighted With the New Departure.

We place before our readers to-day
with immeasurable pleasure intelligence
of the fact that the great Baptist univer-
sity at Greenville has opened its doors to
women. We believe in the co-education
of the sexes. We believe in the constant
association of the sexes from infancy to
old age, from birth to death. we believe
that only by terms of constant intimacy
and social commingling of the sexes, only
by joint effort, on equal terms, OF the
sexes can the highest points of excellence
in human sentiment, human thought and
human material achievement be reached.
Therefore it is we watch with so much
interest for every additional step in this
direction and rejoice with such exceed
ing great joy at every recognition OF Wo-
mans capacity to enter upon fields OF la
Dor hitherto denied her. Furman uni.
yersity has done great work for South
Carolina and tor humanity in this
action and enters upon new and
glorious career of uselulness.-6hmtor

The details still come in from the great
storm on the gulf coast of Alabama and
Louisiana on Sunday night, 1st inst.
Every batch of news makes the work Of
the storm more terrible. The loss of life
will never be known. It isnow rough
" estimated at 5000, and the damage to
property will probably reach million
dollars or more. Many of those who es-
capped death are starving, and it is report
ed that men and women, driven to des-
peration by hunger, are feeding on dead
animals.

It will be seen that in all the counties,
excepting Pickens, Lexington, Lancaster
and Hampton, from which reports have
been received there is larger attendance
of colored children than there is of white.
Another interesting feature Of the report
is that the largest increase is in the atten-
dance Of colored girls. This may be
accounted for by the whiting and whis,,
tling propensities of the average colored
boy who, instead Of going to school, loafs
around the streets and pays very little, II
any, attention to his education. Itwould
be very interesting if Mr.. Mayfield in
making his annual report would figure
out the amount OF money expended on
each colored child in the State, as we'll as
on the whites, and how much OF the
school fund is in that way devoted to the
education of colored children and how
much to the whites in the free schools of
South Carolina. Mr.. Mayteld hopes in
his forthcoming report to get as much
information about the private schools and
colleges in the State as possible.-Speciat
to NeaDS and Courier.

If you are not feeling strong and healthy
try Electric Bitters. If "La Grippe" has
left you weak and'weary, use Electric Bit
ters. This remedy acts directly on Liver,
Stomach and Kidneys, gently aiding those
organs to perform their functions. If you
are afflicted with Sick Headache you will
lind speedy and permansnt relief by taking
Electric Btters. One trial will convince
you that this is the remedy you need.

La Grippe.

During the prevalence Of the Grippe the
past seasons it was noticeable fact that
those who depended upon DIR. Kings New
Discovery not only had speedy recovery,
but escaped all of the troublesome after
effects of the malady. This remedy seems
to have peculiar power in effecting rapid
cures not only in cases of La Grippe, but
in all Diseases of Throat, Chest and Lungs,
and has cured cases of Asthma and Hay
Fever of long standing. Try it and be

For this We thank our friends and

We are happy to announce that
our Spring and Summer trade has
been far ahead of any previous years

that by keeping up the same line of
fire, by our crack shots and hard
hitters, solid value for your money
down, our trade shall still grow better.
On this basis we are laying our
plans for q tremendous Fall trade.
We have already bought some Bar
gains that pleasing prices will be
made on.
We are determined to make this
the banner season in prices to you
and business for ourselves.
To this end we are working in the
day and thinking in the night. Six
days hard work and six nights hard
study will surely make telling weeks
work.
That's the kind of work we shall
put in from now till Santa Claus

The old South has passed away. It's
glorious history, peerless chivalry, i'm
mortal fame are only memories guarded
by the phantom hosts of the Confederate
dead and few MANNED, decrepit survi-
I syors. Enough are left to bury the dead,
and. as we stand around the newly made
grave of onr departed comrade with
I heads and hearts bowed with grief, the
i memory of other days gathers thickly
around us, and as we hear the. clods fall
upon the coffin, the sound seems to re-
VERTEBRATE as IL it were the long continu-
5ous roar of the musketry from the infan-
/ 'try that have "passed to the 'front.'" And
while it is inevitably trne that the Con-
SSederate soldier shall pass out OF the
eight OF mankind, we owe it to ourselves
and to the noble, heroic men who fell all
garoand us at Manassas, Sharpsburg,
Fredericksburg, Charlottesville, Gettys-
burg, Richmond and Petersburg, that
their heroic deeds shall not sink utterly
Suto oblivion, but that our children's
dren shall be taught to cherish and
skeep forever green around our hearth

crate soldier. What more appropriate
