A BIT OF HISTORY
Applied to Present Conditions, Inter-
 esting to Our Readers.

It's singular thing how tri1ing an incident will often change the worlds history. If the country gentleman liv- ing in Cheshire, England, had not by accident been thrown from his coach into the lap of young lady, the pair might never have married, or migrated to the American colonies, and thus the world would never have known of George Washington as the father of our country. So it is in the daily life of everyone, little things" occur which af- feet the future Mir C. R. Goeway, night baggagemaster on the Old Col ony road, Fitchburg, Mass, knows we'll how fortune smiles at times on the af- tiicted, in showing how relief is near at hand. His experience and advice is given in the following words He says:
 For twenty years 1 suffered great deal with weak kidneys, and the train of consequences which always follow when these organs are either overexcit- ed or disturbed. When the attacks were at their height, the secretions from the kidneys were too frequent, and caused considerable annoyance. During the period mentioned, used different reme- dies. and may have obtained relief occa- sionally from some of them, but up until l took a thorough course of the treatment prescribed for Deans Kidney Pills, l never received any permanent benefit In addition to effectually checking the last attack. my general health since I stopped the treatment has been very much bet ter l shall be ozly too pleased to rec ommend Doan's Kidney Pills to any inquirer"

THE LOCAL SICK.

DR.. G.. M. Kuykendal, whose illness
has been mentioned before, is still con-
fined to his bed; but is we'll enough to
be propped up with pillows. He does
not feel encouraged at his condition.
Mr.. w. r. Barron, who has fever, is
getting along as well as could be ex-
pected. He rested very satisfactorily
Thursday night, and his condition was
reasonably favorable yesterday morn
ing. He is not considered to be en-
tirely out of danger, however.
The condition of Mr.. ]. H. Riddle
continues to be of much concern to his
friends. Some days he is better and
some not 50 well. Last Saturday, Sum-
day and Monday were especially bad
days. He was better Thursday night
and was doing very well yesterday.
Though still very sick man, there is
reason to hope that he will be up again
before many more days have passed.
DR.. William NJ. Walker is getting
along spendidls. The erysipelas seems
10 be disappearing, he is able to sit up
talk to his friends and read the news
papers. He now feels pretty confident
that he will soon be up and about
again; but as stated some time ago,
the matter is not worrying him in the
least one way or the other.

MINsTRELs MONDAY NIGHT.

Fields & Hanson's minstrels will
be at the operahouse next Monday
night, and in presenting them, Man
ager Herndon proposes to make
amends for his apparent long neglect
of the entertainment-loving portion
of the population.
Fields & Hanson's is one of the
largest and most popular minstrel
companies in the country. 1t consists
of SS members, including u magnih-
cent band, and travels about the
country in special cars. According to
the posters, there will be a big parade
next Monday at noon, and free band
concert at night. Manager Herndon
informs US that it is his purpose to
direct the parade personally, and, SO
far as practicable, he will carry ii
through all the streets of the town.

county courts. AS to whether or not,
in the opinion of the representative,
the establishment of II county court is
a good idea, makes no difference. He
should submit to the people the right
to express themselves, and then &c
before them and show them wherein
his views are sounder than theirs
The people want what is best, and
they will keep what they have OF
make a change in accordance with the
best lights before them.
We do not see fit to discuss what
Senator Tillman says about costs. We
do not believe a properly managed
county court system will add materi
ally to the cost of our present less efti'
cient system. 1t may cost a little less,
and it may cost a little more but if ii
costs more, we do not believe the
amount will be exactly 80 per cent
1t may be 294 per cent. Anyhow, we
will begetting something for our mon
ey, while in many instances now We
are getting worse than nothing.

FATAL ACCIDENT.

A peculiarly distressing. hunting
accident occurred on Mr.. Emmet
Walkers place, in the Zadok neigh
borhood, last Monday. Little JED
Stowe, a son of Mr.. w. M. Stowe, and
aged about IA years, shot a Negro
companion named Sam Hudson, and
of about the same age.
The exact facts are difficult to ar
rive at. Young Stowe has been so
distressed ever since that he has not
been able to make a coherent state
ment; but according to the story OF
another little Negro who was along,
the boys had up rabbit amid much
excitement. Hudson was in front OF
Young Stowe, who was hurrying along
with his gun ready to shoot, when the
piece was suddenly discharged, the
load taking effect in Hudson's leg, just
above the calf, at the knee.
Upon the arrival of DR.. Miles Walk
er, few hours later, the wounded
boy was in fainting condition Arom
loss of blood, and examination of the
wound showed that full charge OF
No. 4 shot had passed into the boys
leg, cutting and tearing all the blood
vessels and muscles and ranging up
ward into the thigh. The wounded
boy fingered under the best attention
until Wednesday morning when he
died.
For the relief of Mr.. Stowe, the
young hoy's father, who was also very
much distressed over the occurrence,
and on account of irresponsible rumors
that had gained currency, friends in
sisted upon the holding of an inquest.
After as thorough an investigation as

TREATED AS BUSINESS.

We note that the city council Oh
Charleston has disposed of its "pub-
lie advertising" by awarding the con-
tract to The News and Courier at
rate said to be higher than the bid
of The Evening Post in the proper
ton of $4,000 to $500. We have no
feeling of partizanship or prejudice
for or against either of these papers
but from a standpoint of business,
fairness and justice, we are glad to
note the action of the Charleston city
council.
We have observed these controver-
sizes between newspapers over adVer-
Using contracts for years, and we have
had not a little experience ourselves,
and we confess that they are annoying
and sometimes humiliating in the ex-
treme. Invariably the conditions OF
the controversy are new and charac-
teress newspaper, without bona tide
circulation, or respectable standing on
the one side, against an established
paper of standing, reputation and
financial responsibility on the other.
The claim of the attacking newspaper
is usually for ar equal showing on
equal terms with a competitor with
which it cannot compare in any par
ticular, and its weapons are slanders,
misrepresentation and duplicity OF a
kind that cannot often be met with
self-respect.
We have not observed anything
mean or low in the campaign of The
Evening Post. The only thing that it
has done that is questionable, was to
try and make it appear that it's adver'
tising values compared favorably with
those of The News and Courier, when
it knew better than anyone else, thai
such was not the case. The best pos
sible evidence of this is that private
business concerns are not willing tc
pay for advertising space in The Posi-
much more than one-third of what
they are willing to pay in The News
and Courier. And anyone ought tc
know that the public is entitled to re-
ceive as good advertising service as
private individuals demand. In ignor'
ing this fact, The Post shows conclu'
sively that it is working only for lis
financial interests, and that all its talk
about its solicitude in saving the peo'
pie money, is the merest poppycock.
What the political preferences OF
the newspaper prejudices of the city
council of Charleston are we do moi
know and we do not care; but what
we do know, is that the proposition
before them was a purely business
one, and that if The News and Courier
is capable of giving the best advertls
ing values and has offered those values
at the same rate it sells them to indi
viduals, then the city council has made
no mistake. On the contrary 1t has
the manhood to do what is right, re-
gardless of the fretting, fuming and
tonguelashing of disappointed bidders

THE HOLIDAYS.

In all essential particulars, the holi-
days just closing have been the same
as at this season for years past; but
generally they seem to have been
somewhat brighter.
There has been the usual cry OF
"hard times" during the fall and win
ter. We are glad to say, however,
that but little practical demonstration
has been noticeable. The people gen.
orally have appeared to have sufficient
money with which to buy holiday
goods, and with which to enjoy them.
selves generally.
Such has been the appearance about
Yorkville and Rock Hill, and these
two towns ought to furnish fair idea
of the situation. The streets of both
towns were througed with holiday
shoppers last Friday and Saturday
and business has continued fairly good
during the past week.
That next week and week after vii
be dull, of course, is quite likely. The
first two weeks in January are always
dull. 1t is settling time. The bust
ness men take stock. People general
ly are planning as how they can make
more progress during the coming yea'
than during the past, and such condi
lions are not propitious for immediate
business. But, taken altogether, the
holidays have been enjoyed, and there
is good reason to believe that the coun
try has made considerable progress
during the past year.

Governor Ellerbe says he did not
reprimand the constahles for seizing
the wine of the New England society
in Charleston the other day, because
the constables were perfectly right in
making the seizure, and he only order
ed the release because Of the request
of Senator McLaurin. We think that
if these are the facts, the governor
would have done best not TO make
such an explanation. His highest du'
ty is to obey the law, and disobeying
the law in the manner he confesses, we
are afraid he violated sacred obliga'
ton. In fact his action smacks OF
"imperialsm."
