Stand

The following circular of instructions
has been sent out from the Comptroller
Generals office, and will govern the
| the county examining boards under the
new pension law:
To the County Examining Board of
Pensions:
The new pension law does not con-
template new applications from those
now on the roll, but only from those
not heretofore on the roll, except such
as has been rejected or applications
disapproved by the State Board. AS
such must file new applications, as we'll
as new applicants. Boards are expect
ed to correct lists of pensions as they
such as dead, removed, or whose in
comes have been increased above the
legal limit or for other causes. All
pensioners, however, now or to be
placed on the roll must be placed in
grade A, B or G 49, Sc, 81 class), as
required by the new law according to
their disabilities. Board can require

assure the ends of justice, the old pen
sloner to appear before them per-
sonally. New applicants must appe ar
personally. We mail blanks for ap-
pllcantS and for your reports to State
Board. Widows can be placed only on
the 81 roll, but should be reported

@ above 500. Thus we will have three
classes of males and one of the widows.

proved Or disapproved, as in your judg-
ment the respective classes may re-
quire. Your decision and opinion ex-
pressed fully, whether in special form
1r not, vii! be appreciated by the State

CURE FOR HOG CHOLERA.
A Columbia Firm Offers a Remedy
Free TO Farmers

HASO ~ II
Editor Mountaineer:
In connection with the present great
interest in hog raising will you say a
word for us to the farmers We have
a prescription that Is said to be an in
fallible cure for hog cholera. If this
be true no one can even estimate the
amount of money that it's use would
save to our people. We are SO anxious
to have it thoroughly tested that we
offer to send enough of the treatment
for ten cases Of cholera to the first far
mer from each postoffice in South
Carolina, who during the month of
April, sends TO us for it and encloses
ten cents In stamps to pay the cost OF
postage. We send the medicine with
out charge, upon the condition that
the recipient will advise us OF the re-
suits he secures from its use. II the
emedy will successfully pass the,test of
trial by different man at each post
office in the State, we think its efficacy
will have been proved. 1t has already
been used by a few of our acquaintance,
and without single failure to
cure, 80 far as we have been advised.
We are not satisfied, how ever, with a
few trials, but whatever may be the
result, whether it be proved to be in
falliable or not, we wish it speedily
and thoroughly tested. We can not
devise any other plan that will dc
this so successfully as the one we here
propose.
We trust that you will regard it al
| within the scope of your paper to bring
this offer to the attention of your read
ers. III. o. BRICE 81 Co.

as partisan questions at all, but simply
questions of good government.

invite, but appeal to all good citizens,
to whatever party or faction belonging,
Democrats as we'll as epublicans,
Reformers as well as Conservatives, to
unite with us in securing the over
throw of these aud all other iniuuities

When a person 10 losing fesh and
wasting away there is cause for alarm.
Nothing so worries a physician. Con-
sumptives would never die If thoy
could regain their usual weight. In
fact there would be no consumption If
there were no wasting OF the system.
The cause Of this loss Of flesh is q fail
ure to properly digest the food eaton.
Nine tenths OF all our diseases date
back to some arrangement of the
stomach.
The Shakers Digestive Cordial will
stop this wasting Of the body. 1t acts
by causing the FOOD we eat to be di-
gested so as to do good, for undigested
food does more harm than good. The
Cordial contains food already digested
and is q digester Of foods as we'll.
