No Place For Them.

An old soldier describes what turn
ed out to be laughable experience of
two Of his comrades: In one view Of
it they were very unfortunate, but
looked at in another light their case
may be said to have been "twice
blest;;" for they were certainly glad to
get in and gladder still to get On
one occasion, when during a march,
they halted, they discovered an old
house near by, and thought it would
be nice thing to sleep under shingles
once more.
Accordingly they slipped out of the
ranks, went over to the house, and
spreaking their blankets on the floor,
went to sleep. About daylight they
were awakened by soldier in charge
of the place.
"I don't want to disturb you fel-
lows; but do you know where you are
sleeping?'
"No. Is this some generals head
quarters?'
"No; but it is old General Small
pox's hospital. It won't interfere with
him, however, if sleeping here, don't
trouble you any,
"Whew r. shouted the luxurious
sleepers simultaneously, as they ran
out of the place.
"Don't be in hurry" shouted the
guard cheerfully, "you are not dis
turbing anybody. There's only two
fellows in here, and they're both
dead"
;'Why didn't you tell US, you mis-
erable scoundrel?'
because I was asleep myself.
Here, don't you want your blankets"
'No! to blazes with the Blankets"
Gail right. I'll take good care Of
EN- till you come back again. [ hope
you will have it light"
At this horrible suggestion the men
filed back to line, where, by begging,
they got garments enough to make q
change. 1t was many days before
they got rid of the fear that they had
the dread disease. 1t was much Ion
ger before any one could say "shin-
gles' to either of them with any de-
greo of safety.

Negro Cotton Mill Hands.

In his speech the other day before the
cotton manufacturers at the Exposition
Colonel D. a. Tompkins, of Charlotte, n.
c., incidentally discussed the proposed
employ ent of colored labor in the mills.
Colonel Tcmpkins expressed no opin-
ion on the subject, but in reply to the
talk of the Northern manufacturers in
regard to colored labor he says:
'It is impossible for me to come to
conclusion as to whether the colored peo-
pie would make successful mill hands or
not. Nobody, not even those who know
and love the colored people best, has ever
had the courage to try the experiment.
I believe have about as many friends
among colored people as any other aver
age man, and yet would not dare to try
the experiment of cotton mill with
colored operatives without the full con-
sent of all my associates or stockholders
to lose money in the experiment, if it
should turn out that way. Nothing but
experiment can, in my judgment, ever
determine the question. In order to de-
termine it I would be willing to be one
of 100 persons to subscribe 81 500 each for
mill to be operated by colored people
until by losses it should be determined
that the experiment was failure, or by
success it should be demonstrated to be
practicable"
This Is fair proposition and 1t repre-
sents the sentiment of the Southern mill
men. They are perfectly willing to en-
ploy both races, but they are waiting for
favorable opportunity to make the ex-
pertinent without running too great a
risk.
Colonel Tompkips is one of the most
progressive and enterprising manufac-
turers in the South. and his views are
those of conservative business man
who has no prejudice to hamper him
when he is dealing with the question of
labor. The color of his operatives is not
an i'm portant matter with him. The point
is to get reliable and competent service
at reasonable rate. Colored labor will
be in demand in the cotton mills just as
soon as the mill owners become satisfied
that it will he profitable. In the South
there is no color line in business and
labor.
In this connection the result of the
Admission experiment will be watched
with considerable interest. It's prorosed
to organize and operate cotton factory
at that place exclusively by negro effort.
A company has been chartered by the
legislature and an enterprising and pub
llc-spirlted negro is in charge of the un-
dertaking. The plan is certainly feasible
one and we see no reason why it should
not be a complete success. At any rate
the effort will be watched with interest,
and all will unite in wishing its promoters
the success their energy merits.-Atlamta

Relies Of the War.

SYLvANIA, GA, Oct. 27.-A Confeder-
ate Veteran of Sylvania recently talked
to Telephone reporter ofa lot of curious
weapons of warfare with which COM
pany from Screven were armed at the be-
ginning of the late wsr, and before they
remem bered that Governor Joseph Brown
number of pixies with which to arm the
Georgia troops. and this probably gave
rise to the peculiar weapons that were
made for the Screven company.
Mr.. George Cooper, the noted black
smith and the inventor of the well-known
Cooper plow, was the designer and manu-
facturer of this unique weapon, and it un-
doubtedly surpassed Governor Browns.
It consisted of a bowie knife set in firm
handle, the whole thing being about two
feet long. The knives were somewhat
on the order of a short sword, and carried
In kind of scabbard at the side. The
old soldier who was describing it and who
belonged to the company, said that at
tached to the handle of these knives was
strong piece OF elastic, probably eight
or ten feet long-so that in an engage
ment the knives could be hurled at the
enemy and then, after inf1icting wound,
or in either event, would rebound into
the hands of the owner. 1t could thus
be used an indefinite number of times,
and at distance, too, where swords cou'd d
not be brought into play It will be seen
that it was very much on the order Of the
ancient javelin, only the elastic attach
ment made it much more serviceable and
a more dangerous and effective weapon
at close quarters.
Mr.. Bob Kelley, of this county who
was member of the company, still has
one of these old knives in his possession
which he treasures very much as relic,
and there are probably others scattered
through the county. The blades of the
knives were made mostly from large flat
files, and being pointed and ground very
sharp, were capable of piercing man
through and through if thrown whith ac-
curate aim. The Screven boys, however,
did not have the opportunity to test the
weapons in conflict, fer they were soon
furnished with other implements of war
fare and had to discard the knives.

How 10 Prevent Group.

SOME READING THAT WILL PROVE
INTERESTING TO YOUNG MOTHERS.
HOW TO GUARD AGAINST THE DISEASE.
Group is a terror to young mothers
and to post them concerning the cause,
first symptoms and treatment is the
object of this item. The origin of
crop is a common cold. Children who
are subject to it take cold very easily
and Group is almost sure to follow.
The first symptom is hoarseness; this
is soon followed by peculiar rough
cough, which is easily recognized and
will never be forgotten by one who
has heard it. The time to act is when
the child first becomes hoarse. If
Chamberlain s Cough Remedy is freely
given all tendency to Group will soon
disappear. Even after the croupy
cough has developed it will prevent
the attack. There is no danger in
giving this remedy, for it contains
nothing injurious. For sale by Hill

Natural Life Preserrer.

DR.. Schneider -Preiswerk, in Baslc,
has discovered novel means of saw
ing life in marine accidents, which if
generally used will probably lessen
greatly the number of lives lost by
such accidents. His invention. has
been pronounced very important by
the French Academy of Sciences,
which in one of their last meetings
listened very attentively to lecture by
DR., Lanveraux upon the new inyen-
ton.
The inventor does away with all
artificial belts and other floating ap-
pliances. He proposes to initiate the
cellular texture beneath the human
skin on the breast, which, if filled
with air, forms a natural pneumatic
belt, by the aid of which one may not
only float himself but even support
another body. The idea is said to be
perfectly practicable 1t has been
proved that man weighing 16O
pounds, whose specific weight is be-
tween 1.08 and Ito and whose head
may weigh seven pounds need only
about 200 cubic inches of air within his
body in order to float with the head
out Of the water.
This amount of air is easily inserted
into hollow space beneath the skin
with DR.. Schucidcr.s S aseptic syringes,
which will in one injection initiate
from 20 to 35 cubic inches of air.
The introduction of the point, which
is only two millimeters thick, will
hardly be felt. Such pump is not
even necessary. 1t is much simpler
to use little apparatus also patented
by DR.. Schneider, which consist of a
hollow needle, thin rubber hose IS
inches long, into which this needle is
inserted. A little aspetic cotton
placed into the open end of the rub
ber hose is all that is necessy. The
skin is simply raised, the hollow
needle introduced into it, and then
the other end of rubber hose is taken
into the mouth and the mans own
breath blows into it. Two deep res
pirations, which are blown into each
OF the breast, will be sufficient to float
man, however heavy.-Philodelphia

An Exasperated Landlord.

A tale comes from the Nutmeg State
of man who travelled much and was
we'll known wherever he went by hotel
men and others as "proverbial
kicker" Nothing was ever good
enough or bad enough, hot enough or
cald enough, rich enough or poor
enough for him. One day he went to
one Of the best hotels in the State and
put up for the night His fame had
proceeded him, and the landlord gave
orders to high and low to serve him
with the best, and to wait on him with
alacrity. His wishes were all antici.
pated that night, and he went to bed
as happy as man like him could be
with nothing to growl about. In the
morning extra pains were taken with
his breakfast, after which the landlord
went and inquired if everything was
all right, adding that he trusted his
breakfast had been satisfactory.
"Well, it was fair" admitted the
guest, "but I like a breakfast to be
hot. This wasn't hot enough.
every we'll, sir, - responded the ex-
aspcrated landlord, eve have done oul
best for you. There is, however, only
one place so hot your breakfast would
be sure to please you. You'd better
20 THERE" And walked off.

Paying for the Slaves.

We have received marked copy of the
Chicago Inter- Ocean containing letter
from special correspondent reviewing
the political conditions in Alabama, and
declaring that there is mo solid South
now" because Alabama is awakening to
the era Of industrial protection" The
idea of the correspondent seems to be
that the best way to break the solid South
is to give the Southern manufacturers
chance to raid the public treasury, to
make them Republicans by making them
thieves. Having found it impossible to
make the South Republican by Negro,
suffrage, by the bayonets of the army, by
sectional and repressiye legislation, it is
now proposed to bribe the South into an
abandonment of its political principles.
We do not think that the South can be
bribed any more than it could be bull
dozed. But the Western idea is clear
not only is it proposed to break the solid
South by Offering industrial protection"
to the iron makers Of Alabama-but 1t is
suggested that the Government should
pay for the slaves. The correspondent of
the Inter. Ocean says:
"The reunion at Chickamauga was
revelation and will cause great change
in the Northern heart. ] heard an old
Union veteran say:
"'I believe the country is at peace by
Gods blessing, and think the time has
come when the country should pay the
Southern people for the slaves we freed.
When that is done every sore will be
healed, even the scabs rubbed off, and
mean to say 80 when 60 home.'
"That would indeed be peace and
would remove from the Southern heart
every vestige of bitterness toward the
Republican party. 1t would sweep the
South like prairie fire and create tie
which could know no breaking."
This is shrewd political device, but it
will not deceive any thoughtful person in
the South. San old Union veteran" does
not understand the situation. The time
has long passed to "pay the Southern
people for the slaves we freed" The
money could be put to good use down
this way, of course. but it would have to
be raised by taxation, and it would mani
festly not be fair to tax the South to pay
the South for what the South lost in the
war. We have no idea that the people of
the North would consent to be taxed to
"pay the Southern people for the slaves
we freed" Besides, nobody in tho South
asks or expects that the Government
shall pay for the slaves. And 1t is alto
R6Cner q mlSLaKe 10 suppose tndG mouey
for the slaves would remove from the
Southern heart every vestige of bitter
ness toward the Republican party"
Little as our Chicago contemporary and
ian old Union veteran" may think cf it,
there are some things that money will
not buy in some parts Of ''our common
country" One of fthese things is forgive
ness of the Republican party for all of the
sins which it has committed against the
South. Money does not make people
respectable or intelligent or patriotic or
virtuous. Money canDot buy principle.
Paying for the slaves will not make the
South Republican.-NeWs and Courier.

.Horseless Carriages in France.

The time seems approaching when
automatic road carriages, propelled by
steam, electricity, or petroleum, will
come into general use and take away
from the patient horse the worst part
of his daily toll. The odds. at pres
ent, seem to be rather in favor of Pc
troleum. A most interesting competi-
tion has recently taken place in France
between varied specimans of motor
carriages. The course precribed was
from Paris to Bordeaux distance of
358 miles-and back again, any vehicle
to stand disqualified if it consumed
more than one hundred hours on the
road. The big prize of the day-4O,-
900 francs (s7, ,72O)-was for four-seat-
ed carriages, which was won by Les
Fills de Peugeot Freres, while Messrs.
Panhard & Levassor secured second
place with a two-seated carriage, max
ing the round trip in twenty-four
hours and fifty-three minutes.
The winning conveyances were pro-
PEELED by gasoline, and the rate of
speed was about Is miles an hour,
which is regarded as an extremely
creditable performance, the long lines
of hills being taken into account.
These hills appear to have proved too
much for the carriages propelled by
electricity, Of which only one got
through, the others having abandoned
the contest. One of the steam car
riages was brought to a standstill at
Versailles early in the race, owing to
an accident, and the others lost time
by frequent stoppages Of FIVE or ten
minutes, made for the purpose of
taking in coal and water. The eletric-
al conveyances had all to stop, from
time to time, to renew their dynamic
charges, but the petroleum machines
carried enough force for twenty-four
hours run, and on the return journey
the run was made without a single
stop. In comparing the merits Of the
different propelling agents, the palm
must, so far, be awarded to petroleum,
which is clean and can be easily car
ried. The ordinary feeder used for
short distances contains less than 4
quarts of oil, which will last over a
journey of 20 miles, or two and one
half hours For long distances, a
receptacle capable of holding enough
petroleum for run of at least twenty
or twenty-four hours is provided.
We hear also of bicycles propelled
by petroleum, in which great interst
has been exhibited, and half dozen
of such machines started in the race
to Bordeaux, one, at least, holding it's
own among the larger vehicles. It is
believed that light petroleum bicycles,
tricycles and even four-wheelers, will
soon come into general use, which will
tend to relieve lady cyclists from the
necessity of wearing short skirts. AL
together: it seems that petroleum is
destined to become the popular agent
for solving the problem of traffic and
conveyances without horses in the
streets of great cities and on smooth
country roads.
1t has already made astonishing
headway in the use and industries of
the world. In Japan it has become
almost the sole illuminant, and on the
Caspian Sea the Russian steamers burn
nothing else for their engines.-Scicn-

Letters to be Proud OF.

The best proof any cne can have in
testing the efficiency of a certain
thing is actual trial and experience.
DR.. Matthez came to Anderson a
little over four weeks ago intending
to remain possibly ten days or two
weeks, bringing with him letters of
introduction of the highest character
with regard to his high skilland pro-
fessional ability, not that such was
needed, for his fame had long since
been heralded throughout South Car
olina. Instead of bringing his stay
10 a close after two weeks, he found
it impossible to put aside the vast
number who appealed to him for aid
and assistance in giving them sight,
thus he has remained over one
month. Whilst the array of testi.
monials published in his behalf have
been many and from high sources,
yet none will carry more or greater
weight than the valuable encomiums
offered by persons living right in
this community, whose name and
standing is sufficient guarantee of
the good work DR.. Matthez is doing.
The letter of Miss Hubbard is such
that any one might be proud of.
Knowing this DR.. Matthez must
we'll indeed have been all that he
claimed and done ali he promised in
having enjoyed the intelligent judg-
ment of Miss Hubbard. The evident
heartfelt praise of Miss Williams is
an honest testimonial which will
carry great weight. In conclusion
we can but urge upon those of our
readers who have not consulted DR..
Matthez to do so at once. 1t is the
opportunity of a life time. Having
been here so much longer than he in
tended, his stay will soon be brought
to a close. So 20 at once to his Office
at the Hotel Chiquola.
