HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common water
glass with urine and let it stand
twenty -four hours; a sediment or
settling indicates diseased con-
ditlon of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too
frequent desire to urinate or pain
in the back, is also convincing
proof that the kidneys and blad.
der are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowl.
edge so often expressed, that DR..
kilmer's Swamp Root, the kidney
remedy fulfills every wish in re-
lieving pain in the back, kidneys,
liver, bladder and every part of
the urinary passages. 1t corrects
inability to hold urine and scald-
ing pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being
compelled TO get up ms ~ times
during the night to urinate. The
mild and the extraordinary effect
of Swamp Root is soon realized.

We never have been a convert
to this new County Govern
ment Bill because there was

do not like the law either leaving

more than 1000 that can vote
on the question and under this
new County Government, our
low taxes are increasing every
year, last year it was ID mills
this year it is 16-that is conclu-
sive evidence to our way of think
ing that the management OF the

OLD HICKORY.
Lancaster enterprise. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1891-1905, 1897-04-14

An old negro whom the white
people believed to have been much
more than 100 years old died on
the Brule cotton plantation. near
All Seeing Eye, in Texas, short
time ago. The negroes called him
Old Pirate, from the fact that he
never tired of talking of his ad-
ventures at sea. To the white peo-
plo he has always been known as
Uncle jolly, a name which he
maintained was given to him by
Lafitte's pirates when he was a
boy, from the fact that he was
sprightly and always in a good
humor.
Uncle jolly was carefully look
ed after in his old age by the
white people, with whom he had
been an object of great interest.
Many of the descendants of the
wealthy family to whom he be-
Ionged when a slave are still liv-
ing, and there ara few of them
who have nor sat at the old mans
feet when they were children and
listened to his blood curdling
stories af the revelries and cruel
ties of the buccaneers of the gulf.
According to their story, he
was born slave on one of the
islands Of the West Indies. When
he was 10 or IL years of age, his
master started on voyage to
New Orleans, taking his family
and the negr" boy, Jolly, along.
One day, shortly after they had
left the island, a big ship sailed
close to them and began to fire
big guns. The women and chill
dren began to cry and scream and
cling to the men. He heard his
master say they were pirates. He
had no idea what that meant, but
he realized that they we're all in
danger of being murdered. The
ships drew closer together, and
the people in both vessels began
to fire guns and pistols. After a
few moments the pirate ship ran
alongside, and hundreds of fero.
cious looking men, with swords
and pistols in their hands, sprang
Mon board, uttering savage yells
hlnd curses.
NJ jolly saw his master fighting on
7 the deck, and he ran below to tell
his mistress. There were several
women and many children in the
cabin. 1t is hard for one to be-
lieve that anything in the shape

of human being could have been

defenseless victims. The negro
said that he could not bear to
witness the agonies of the women
and children, and he returned to
the companionway, where he met
several pirates. One struck at
him with a cutlass, but another
interposed, remarking:
Don't kill him. He is worth a
pocketful of gold" They threw
him up on the deck and went on
into the CO bin of the ship. The
negro boy saw many dead men
lying in their blood on the decks,
and he noticed the captain and
several of the sailors standing in
a group, guarded by pirates. The
women and children and two or
three men who had been found in
the cabin were dragged on deck
and driven aboard the pirate ship.
The captain and half a dozen of
the crew who had escaped the
massacre were put in chains. The
women and children were driven
below. The pirates at once began
to loot the doomed vessel. and
several hours were spent in trans
porting the booty to the decks of
the pirate ship. Late in the even
ing the ship was set on fire, and
the pirates sailed away.
Little attention was paid to the
negro boy, and he was permitted
to wander about as he pleased.
The pirates spent the night in
singing and drinking. The next
morning the pirate captain, fol-
lowed by several officers.stumbled
on deck, and then the negro boy
witnessed a scene that haunted
him to his grave.
The prisoners were all driven
on the forward deck of the ship,
preparatory to walking the plank.
The captain was the first one or
dered to walk out. He folded his
arms across his bosom and moved
to his death with firm step and
head erect. The women and chill
dren now realized that they were
to be drowned In the sea, and they
began to pray and moan piteous-
ly. One poor woman, pressing a
child to her bosom, walked up to
one of the fpirate officers and i'm
plored himSto spare her life, offer
ing him her jewels and promising
him large sum of money. The
monster tore gold chain from
her neck and began to curse her.
The child was crying and the
merciless demon wrenched it from
her arms and hurled it into the
sea. The poor mother at once ran
to the side of the ship and
sprang overheard. Jolly's curiosi-
ty prompted him to follow her to
the ships side, where he saw her
rise upon wave and grasp her
infant in her arms. He felt some
satisfaction in knowing that the
poor mother sank to rise no more
with her little baby clasped to her
breast.
The poor women had to be forced
and dragged on the plank. They
clung to the knees of the pirates
and implored for their lives in a
way that would have -wrung mer-
cy from anything but a heart of
iron. Many of the children were
thrown into the sea, where they
were snapped up and crushed in
the jaws of swarm of sharks tn a.
