TOWN BUILDERS.
ThesWay to Make a Town Grow
and Prosper.

How can we best build up our
city? This is Il question OF practi
cal Importance to all classes OF
oIr people. In The first place we
should look after the people who
come 10 our city and do business
with Our people. Every day we
have good people among us from
Greeleyville. Like City, Scranton,
Cades, Lanes, Gourdins and from
ther sections Of the county. We
should meet them cordially and
give them such a reception that
they will be induced TO come
again. Our merchants should in
vite them in their stores and show
themtheir goods. They should try to
make them feel at home. AS op-
portunily offers they should eX-
tend to them cOurtesies and iavors
Of every kind. Strangers and VS.
itors should be given every atten-
ton possible. We should show
them our splendid school build
ing, our excellent cotton gins, our
large lumber mills and other
places of public interest. In this
way people from abroad will be
attracted to our place and will be
induced TO come and live with us.
Our merchants should see to it
that their stores have as beautiful
fronts as possible. If. you so to
Florence, Darlington Manning or
Sumter you viii be impressed
with the attractiveness Of their
store fronts. In Kingstree there
is room for improvement. Who
will take the lead?
Another way 10 build up our
town is to talk it up. We don't
want any croakers. We must be
hopeful aud inspire confidence in
others. Don't sit down and COM
plain; tell 10 the outside world
what a progressive young city
Kingstree is. Palronize the news
papers. Give them advertisements
and you will be repaid. The
most successful business men use
printers ink.

Gatarrh And Malaria.

People who are or have been
affected by catarrh are most sub
ject to chronic malaria. The ex.
planation is this:Malaria is a germ
disease. Germs find THAR way into
the blood through the mucous
membranes. If the mucous mem
branes are healthy the germs can
not enter blood. This is why
some'people do not get malaria
But if the membranes are affected
by catarrh, even slightly, the ma
laria germs find easy access into
the blood.
Pe ru ma is the remedy. It not
only destroys malaria germs, but
so restores the mucous membran
es to health. that no more germs
can find entrance. Pe-ru-na iS the
most reliable remedy for chronic
malaria. 1t cures by eradieatlng
the germs from The system.

A MULE KILLS A BOY.
4 YOUNG NEGRO MEETS A HORRI-
BILE DEATH.
The Eleven-Year-OId Son of Alfred
Tisdale FearfuIlY
Mangled.

The little -year-old son Of
Albert TiSdale, a we'll known and
highly respected colored man who
lives about four miles from Kings
tree, across Black river, was kill
ed by a mule last Sunday morn
ing. The little boy must have
suffered terribly before he was
rendered unconscious.
From what can be learned
about the killing it seems that the
boy took the mule out to Craze,
as he usually did, early Sunday
morning. The animal had on a
halter and to this was attached a
long rope. by which the boy led
the mule into the woods. He had
tied the end of the rope around
his wrist, and this act cost him
his life. The mule evidently be-
came frightened and ran at a
great speed towards home. The
boys hand being tied 10 the rope
he could not loosen himself and
was dragged over the rough
ground. through woods. over logs,
brush, ect., striking trees and
stumps, for a distance of over
two miles. His body was horribly
beaten and bruised. the bones
being nearly all broken, When
found he Was, Of curse in an
unconscious state. from which he
never recovered, dying within a
short time.
The rope broke when some dis
tance from the home of the boy
ami the poor little fellow was left
lying bleeding and helpless in the
woods. The mule ran on home
and when Tisdale saw 1t with the
rope broken, he Immediately went
out to look for his son, finding
him as above stated. A physi-
clan was at once summoned, but
it was too late.

If you are a friend t o your
neighbor, your town and county
do your trading with your own
people. If a man was seeking to
ruin his neighbor and destroy his
town, the first thing he would do
would be to withdraw business.
While your trade would not be
missed, and while you might be
able TO stand the expense and
cheat that may be incident TO
your foolish act in going away from
home, yet the act is unneighbor-
ly. Be true toyour own best in
tertests by trading with the peo-
pie who make a speciality of try
ing to please this community.

Senator Chandeliers warming that the

pressure for high duties continues, oughu
TO De Needed. The protective policy was
never designed to profit certa in interests
at the expense of the general public. A
policy that does that is an indefensible
one and cannot stand any longer than is
needed to enable the people to find out
what 1t is. The theory of protection ia
that it contributes to the general well
fare. This certainly it cannot do II
special interests are allowed to dictate
duties with an eye to their own part,ou-
Lar advantage. The weak point of the
policy Is the danger of this thing hap
pen1ng. People who manufacture goods
In this country are not all disipterested
patriots, any more than are the importers
who bring in goods from other lends
Thsy have good deal of human nature
and their advice is not always dictated
py a regard for the general Welfare
Ihey see possibilities for big profits in
high duties on the articles in which they
are interested. and they would be a good
deal more or less than human if the oop-
compilation of these possibilities did not
warp their Judgment. 1t Is a pretty safe
rule to follow never to place protective du-
ties higher than are necessary to eoua]ize
the conditions Of manufacture or produce
ton between this and competing conn
trles. When duties are high enough for
that they are high enough for any leaiti-
mate purpose. In the long run extreme
duties are not profitable to the industries
that receive them even. The pros
poets OF big profits which thew
hold out attract numerous CONNER
ltors and over production and
consequent decline i'll price follow. The
stimulus of extreme duties is about the
same In It's effect on industry ss that of
alcohol on the human system. There is
porarY bracing up, to be followed
inevitably by depression and discourage
inent. 1t is the general welfare that
should be kept iD view In fixing the rate
OF protective duties, and it must be re-
mem berad that this is In the keeping of
the congressman, for while special inter
ests nave advocates on hand to make
known their wishes, the general public
seldom get hearing until election day.
In country is undoubtedly in favor
or the protection Of home industries, and
tariff law that achieves that end can
be certain of its support. But it will
show very little liberation of taliff
that fosters special interests at the ex-
pense OF its people in general.

DR.. Shrady,a well known physiological
expert, and editor of the Medical Record,
asserts that healthy PERSONS risk from
microbes and baoilli is almost as in
fnitesimal as are the microscopic organ
isms themselves. The danger of being
poisoned by bacteria is little, il any,
greater than.the danger of being struck
by lightning. There would seem to be
no great necessity then for the average
human being to worry over apprehension
OF peril from such sources.

with light, fuel aud food. With great
labor, they built n miserable hut ten feet
by six, furnished by great sleeping has
of tear skins and lighted by blubbel
lamp. For tools, they had broken
sledge runner for o pick, and a spade
made Of the shoulder blade OF a walrus
tied to a broken snowshoe staff. Here
il glimpse of their life in the hut
from Nansen's jourdal: "On the
open space in front of the hut two
figures are running up aud down like
shadows In the winter darkness to keep
themselves warm, ana so they will run
up and down on the path they have
trampled out, day after day. till the
spring comes" "Ah mel it Is lovely at
home today I am sure, with everything
in bloom and the ford quivering in the
sunlight; and you are sitting out on the
point with little, Lilo, perhaps, or are on
the water in your boat-and I am re-
minded that there is many an Toe foe
between now and then, before the time
when shall zee it all again." Deem
her 10. "Johansen il lying beside me
asleep; he smiles in his sleep. Poor fell
low he must be dreaming he is at home
at Christmas time with those he loves.
But sleep on. sleep and dream, while the
winter. passes; for then comes spring. the
spring .of life!' They remained 10
their hut until midsummer 1895, when
they met the jackson Harmsworth expe-
dition. and learned that the party had
been within one hundred miles of theil
hut all winter, waiting for them. From
there Nansen and Johansen returned By
steamer. They arrived only ssfew days
ahead of the Fran, which had bean
steadily drifting on her course, and
finally succeeded in gaining the open
sea near Spitzbergen.F An appendix to. the
volumes contains a very interesting &C
count by Sverdrop, of his experience
after Nanssn and Johansen left he ship.
They are.also supplied with an admirable
index of thirty pages and with several
maps. The illustrations which show sc
much Of their everyday life on the Fran
and the scenes with which they were
familiar add much to the interest of the
work. Especially interesting are the re-
productions from water oolors by Nansen,
showing ice and sky effects. From the
original Norwegian, this work has al
ready been translated into French, Ger
man, Swedish and English.
