60 ---.- =. pu,o all end TO the
saloon and saloon-keeper, that it
removes the elements of personal
profit, since the person who acts
as agent in selling for the State
makes no gain, however much he
may sell. He claimed that It re-
duces the amount of liquor used
and increases the purity of the
liquor and the honesty of the
quart, and that it diminishes dis
order and crime. I am sure that
he impressed every one as a brave,
capable man, able to hold his own
in a discussion and believing what
he said.

In Suffolk they hold that goitre
may be cured in the following man
ner: Let a second person hold the
common snake by its head and
tail, and draw it slowly nine times
across the diseased neck; but after
every third time the creature must.
be allowed to crawl about awhile.
It must afterward be put aliveinto
a bottle, which should be tightly
corked and buried-the swelling
will waste with the snake. Some
say the snake should be killed and
it's skin worn around the neck.
In otherparts of Suffolk snakes
avel (skin) is worn inside the hat
for headache. Mr.. Black, in his
"Folk Medicine" states that an
old man used to sit on the steps of
Kings College Chapel, at Cam
bridge, selling snake sloughs (self-
cast skins) for the same complaint.
In some places, he goes on to say,
it is used for extracting thorns,
but it's virtue is repellent, not at
tractiYe.

Have You a Boy to Spare?

"The saloon must have boys, or
it must shut up the shop. Can't
you furnish it one? 1t is a great
factory, and unless it can get about
100000 from each generation for
raw material, some of these fac
tories must close out, and it's opera
tors must be thrown on cold
world, and the public revenue will
dwindls. "Wanted-2,O0O, 900
boys" is the notice. One family
out of every five must contribute a
boy to keep up the supply. Will
you help? Which of your boys
will it be? Have you contributed
boy? If not, some other family
has had to give more than it's
share. Are you not selfish, voting
TO keep the saloon open to grind up
boys, and then doing nothing to
keep up the supply?"

BRAVE, HONEST, CAPABLE
What DR.. Wayland Thinks OF
Gov, Tillman-HoW He
Won His Hearers.

Dir. Heman Lincoln Wayland,
the Philadelphia editor of the Ex-
aminer, the leading Baptist paper
in America, heard Gov. Tillman at
the Neal Dow Temperance Memo
rial in that city and writes of him
as follows:
"The main attraction Of the
evening was Gov. Tillman, of South
Carolina, who, though not, I be-
lieve, the author, was the executor
of the dispensary liquor law of the
State. I hadread good bit about
him, and had formed an idea of
him as being an agitator, dema-
gogue, a man of rather the stamp
| y
of Gov. Waite, of Colorado, and
Gov. Llewellyn, of Kansas. But
my views q can hardly call them
opinions) were largely changed.
He is about as far from being a
fool.as possible. He is man Of
forty-seven years, with apparently
good deal of bodily vigor. He has
lost his left eye, but whether this
is!one of the triumphs of war or
one of the incidents of peace I do
not know. He has an unusual
power of popular speech, and COM
manded the attention of the peo-
pie perfectly during his hour; and
[ think they would have listened
to him for another hour, with eager
fxedness. He certainly showed
great deal of courage by coming
all the way from South Carolina to
address a Prohibition audience,
and by stating to- them distinctly
that he was not a Prohibitlonist,

were as red hot Democrats as he
ever saw. Gen. Butler did not
crlticise Cleveland because Cleve-
land had given him Federal pa
tronage in this State to beat him
(Tillman) for the Senate. Said
ne:
II call him a grand old rascal.
He sold out to Wall street either
before or after his election and does
whatever they order him to do. He
is the most damnabIe traitor that
ever filled that Office" He said
there was no "chaos" during the
Darlington troubles, and as long
as he was Governor there would be
none, except among those old poll
ticians who felt the teat slipping
away from their mouths and that
they were not going to get any
more milk. The Governor said
that when he got over to Aiken

separated into vast rooms, where
two sets of furniture seem quite at

carved wooden manrelpieces are

The Fortnightly Review.
A person shuts his eyes of his
own free will. We take his hand,
we cross the .orefnger and the
middle finger one over the other,
and between them we slip little
ivory ball. A singular illusion
immediately arises. The person
believes he feels two distinct balls.
And why? No doubt because un-
der ordinary conditions, when the
fingers are not crossed, one ball
would not simultaneously touch
the right edge of the forefnger and
the left edge of the middle finger
two balls being necessary opro-
duce the sensation. Such is the
experimental fact which we all
possess in our memory without be-
ing conscious of it.
By all artificial arrangement OF
the fingers, one ball may produce
these two Impressions, and the
mind, not taking into account this
artificial disposition of the fingers
and interpreting the impression by
the ordinary rules, arrives at the
illusion of touch which has just
been described. Nothing is sim
pier to bring about than this illu-
sion, because the sensory impress
sion from which it is derived may
be modified at will, without any
necessity of speaking to the sub
jeci under experiment. Is it the
same with an idea? Evidently
not. For in order tc communicate
an idea one must speak to per-
son. and make ones self under.

Mr.. EDITOR: This beautiful old

the summer home of the wealthy
sea-island planters. In the dis

can be seen Paris Island and the
Coosaw and Baldwin fertilizer
works. On Paris Island are the
United States naval station, and
the huge dry-dock for repairing
and making vessels for the govern

Port Royal is only five miles dis

reached from here either by rail
or a splendid shell road. Port
Royal is now attracting attention
on account of it's magnificent har-

the large steamers from Liverpool

Many of the handsome homes of
Beaufort have passed from the
original owners and are now occu-

to this goodly land "after the cruel
war was over" Others of the grand
old homes are tenantless, the "ban-

DEATH BY LIGHTNING.
An Incident of a Terrific Thun-
der Storm in Orange
burg.

News and Courier.
ORANGEBURG, July ga terrific
thunder storm passed over this city
this afternoon. The lightning was
very frequent and more than one
person was badly scared, A negro
named Leslie Galson, an excellent
carpenter, was killed by lightning
He was working on one of the Sec
tion houses of the Atlantic Coast
Line, and when the storm came up
work was stopped and the carpen-
ters all sought shelter in the build.
ing. Galson remarked to the head
workman that he was going to try
to get in a safe place, and he had
hardly said this when a flash Of
lightning came, and Galson, who
was standing at that moment near
the front door in a draft, fell dead.
Henry Dickson, colored, who
was standing near Galson, had his
right arm badly burned. A small
colored boy, in the same house,
had his hair singed, and Tom
Swans left arm was paralyzed for
a time. Several bruises were found
on Galson's back. His standing in
the draft was evidently what
brought the lightning to him.
Several old citizens observed this
afternoon that there have been
more lightning killings this year
than they could recallin several
years. The storm did considerable
damage to crops.

Grated walls, regardless of the
"changes and chances" that have
befallen the loved ones who are
LETT. The Baptist Church also is
another old landmark whose
strength and breadth and liberal
proportions tell of the liberal souls
which devised liberal things for
the honor of God and His wor-
ship.
For rest, recreation, and pleas
ure there is no place like the sea
shore. Recently pleasant party
went out from here seaward. After
stopping at the United States naval
station and Port Royal we kept on
until the sky and water seemed to
meet, and the ocean greeted us,
and the surf roared and thundered
on "Bay Point" Then the sturdy
steamer turns homeward, back to
Beaufort, and Notwithstanding the
lunch served aboard ship, we hur-
ried home for dinner with sharp
ened appetites.
AS I write, the Glowing tide
sweeps ill.," the breeze comes with
it. 1t is near sunset and the beauty
and chivalry of the town are out
walking and driving. Ladies in
pretty evening toilettes, some with
hats, some without, bicyclists fly
past on their favorite "blkes. !"
Some of the young gents are
clothed in spotless suits of white
duck, with shoes and caps also of
white duck. On the broad piazzas
family groups sit and chat with
passing friends, pleasure boats
dance on the glistoning waters.
Some hundred yards out stands
the bath-house, a pretty pagoda
looking building. When the tide
suits, groups are seen going for
dip in the SALT" and shouts of
laughter greet our ears as the more
venturesome swim out away and
beyond the bath house.
The Sea Island Hotel, once the
Hayward mansion, presents most
attractive appearance and is we'll
kept. Here we met Miss Maud
O'Dell, a Southern girl who is
carving out fame and name
for herself in dramatic art. She
is at home with her parents on a
visit, but told me she would soon
leave on two years trip to Cali
fornia and elsewhere as a leading
lady in prominent theatrical
company. Luck to her, and a
plenty of it!
In Beaufort as in every Southern
! picture, there is the black back
