Before the Doctor Comes.

Many a woman has helplessiS
wrung her hands when disease has
stepped over her threshold because
she had no remedies with which to
fight the enemy, writes Helen Jay in
the May Ladies' Home journal .
Perhaps the doctor cannot come or
she has no one TO send for him, and
the drug store ia miles away. Every
wife and mother should, in ZONE de.
gree at least, learn what to do in al
emergency OF this kind, and she
should never be guilty OF that crime
against the welI-being of her house
hold an empty medicine-chest. She
should see to it that the hot water
bags or bottles are always ready for
use, and that the jar is full of mus

ages and plssters should be with
these, so that no matter how great
the panic into which she may be
thrown she cannot fail to find them.

The Commissioners Preparing to Put up
u Good Iron Bridge.
The committee Of the County
Court, having in charge the erection
OF bridge over Duck River at Will
Transport, in place of the condemned
wooden bridge now standing, met at
WillamspOrt on last Saturday to
look the ground over. They were
fortunate in having with them Mr..
Burke, a stone mason of long expert
ence, who is q competent Judge of
stone and WAS allie to inform the
committee that good stone in suit
able quantities could be obtained
near by, for the abutments and peers.
MIR. VI T. Siunott, of the YouNgs-
town Bridge Company, wa4 also
present aud presented some memo
randa Of proXimate figures, and said
that he would put in bid ut the
proper time. This company. has
bult large number of bridges in
this State and throughout the South
The members Of the bridge building
committee present at the meeting
Saturday were Esquires Stockard,
Flke, Harris and Frierson. They are
all men OF experience in public af-
fairs, and tie three former living
near Williamsport and having all
had experience in bridge building,
will be able to render good service to
the county in getting tirst-class WORK
done.
Bids have been advertised for and
the committee will accept the best
bid. There il, however, no dispO-
sition to save few dollars and build
bridge that while it might be cheap
in price would fail to come up to the
requirements of a road having such n
vast amount OF travel as that cross
ing the river at Williamsport. The
bridge is long one, over 400 feet,
and will necessarily cost a consider
able amount, but it is believed it will
not greatly exceed $4,000.
Any one who will stand at the
Williamsport Bridge a few hours
and observe the almost constant
crossing Of teams from both sides
will be at once convinced of the ab-
sOlute necessity OF putting a good
bridge there.
1t is believed that by building the
abutments and piers under the pres
ent bridge and not removing it until
not be interrupted but few weeks.
AS both Esq. Stockard aud E.q
Fike are familiar with the rock bed
Of the river, their counsel will be
valuable in erecting the sub-structure

This Popular Young Devine Elected
AssIs tant Bishop eff Tennessee.
AT the Episcopal Convention held
in Nashville last week, Rev. Thos
+. Gailor was chosen as Assistant
Bishop OF the Diocese of Tennessee
The selection is one which is uni
versally approved, Mr.. GailOr being
conceded to be one of the brightest
lights in the Episcopal Ministry in
this state.
He was porn and reared in Mem
phis, but was ordained and held his
first charge in Pulaski. After two or
three years he was called to Sewan4e
and since that time has been as
sociated with the University OF the
South, at that place.
Mr. Gailor has had the opportunity
to accept bshopric, before now, in
another State, but deemng his field
OF usefulness greater in connection
with the cause Of education, declined
to accept. AS he is still quite a
young man, the honor conferred by
this appointment is the greater on
that account.

Fashionable Millinery EmpOrium.

1t is a real pleasure 10 go through
as well conducted aud prettily ar
ranged store as that of T. o. Belts &
Co. 1t is no advertising talk, but
plain facts to state that no house in
Columbia has ever carried more
elegant line Of ladies' dress goods and
millinery, than this house. Their
dress patterns with trimmings TO
match, will make homely woman
pretty, and their reduced prices
make the husband smile when he
pays the kill. The arrangement OF
their millinery department. is de-
| ghtfully artistic, and has for it's
head II New York laiy of exquisite
taste. 1t IL a rule OF this house that
both parties to the contract must be
pleased. The maker and wearer must
both agree that the effect is becom-
ing, else the bonnet don't leave that
store. 1t is cool, pretty, quiet room
to rest in, and the ladies are invited
when they have trading to do or
when they have not, to partake of
this hospitality.

THE gold question seems to be the
uppermost one in the minds OF the
government, the bankers and the
editors of the big daily newspapers /;
but when it is simmered down to
bare facts, is there anything Of great
moment in it? The government has
a hundred million in gold with
which to redeem the outstanding
greenbacks. That is what the gold
is there for; then why not pay it Odt
aud redeem the greenbAcks without
hesitation aud without comment?
1t also has over a hundred million
to redeem gold certificates. Let this
be paid out for its legitimate purpose.
There would be absolutely no iense
whatever in trying to keep all this
gold shut up in the treasury if it is
wanted for other legitimate purposes,
aud It will not do a bit more harm to
export the gold than it would to ex-
pOlt lot of our wheat or corn. The
government is all right and the peo-
pie are all right; it is Wall Street
and the New York bankers who are
trying to scare us into q panic so
they can make mOley out Of it.

THE SANTA FEE BRIDGE.
Who is Going to Build it, and
When?

Who is Going to Build it, and
When?
To large secliOn OF the county
north of the river, the question now
at issue between the Santa Fe Turn
pike Company and the County Court,
is one of very great Importance, The
people are therefore anxious to know
what the merits of the situation are
at present, aud what the probable
outcome OF Ii is going to be.
The legal question involved in the
situation, is as to whom it uevOlves
upon to replace the bridge now con-
demned by the County Court. The
Turnpike Company claims that it is
the duty of the county to keep up
the bridge, but the County Court is
advised by the county attorney that
it is not an obligation OF the county
to keep up the bridge, and the court
will not therefore do il, 40 long at
the road is operated under the pike
company's charter.
The real question Of the present
time Is whether the company will
replace the condemned bridge aud
continue to run the road as q toll
road, or abandon their charter
Tney claim to be unable to build the
bridge ana state that the toll re-
ceived on the road does not justify it
1t is reported that a proposition has
been made to the Turnpike Company
by responsible party to build Q
bridge for the tolls of oGe of the
gates, but the proposition has no;
been accepted.
Notice of condemnation of the
bridge was served upon the Turn.
pike Company on February 22ud
1893. it is the belief of the County
Court, that, under the law unless
the bridge is replaced by the com.
pany, the charter OF the company
will b. forfeited within six months
from that date. If that is a correct
Interpretation Of the law, the charter
will he forfeited by Aug 22nd and
toe road will revert to the county
II that proves to be the ultimatum
it is likely that the County Court
will order the building of an iron
bridge Until the purpose of the
company IL known however, or I'M
til its charter Is forfeited, the County
Court cannot take any action in the
matter.

IF an extra session of Congress is
needed for one thing more than all
others, it is for the purpose OF knock
ing the stuffing out of the fraudulent

is the enormous pension list. Even
the Grand Army Gazette, the official

must be very rotten indeed when
that is the case.
