MIR EDITOR: Please allow me space
In your paper to correct IL false rumor.
1t is being circulated in different parts
of Newberry County, that introduced
Il bill in the legislature fixing fees,
mileage, etc, of physicians. The in
geniOus fellow who originated this
story fixes the f.e in this imaginary
bill ut 81 per witt and 10 cents mile
age. He goes further aud gives the
doctor e lien upon all the property Of
the patient, even his wearing apparel.
There Is no truth whatever in this re-
port. l have never even thought of
such IL project. l did not introduce u
bill rs to doctors fees or giving u doc
tor lien of any. kind. l did intro
duce bill to provide for inspection Of
foods, medicines, spirituous and malt
liquors. My object was to protect the
people from fraud aud imposition us to
foods, medicines, spirituous and malt
liquors.
Any one " ~ishing to verify my state
mcnt can ask Senator Mower or Re pre-
, sentutives Banks and Kihler ls | am
sure these gentlemen will tell the
truth.
Yours truly,

salutinp In the Army.

One thing which the arriving volun-
teers find it hard to do-a thing which
perhaps they will never do in anything
like the form in which the regulars do
it's to salute officers. Take a volun-
teer who is bronzed and big like regu-
lar and put him in a regulars clothes
and send him out on the street, and he
would certainly betray himself as a
volunteer at his first meeting with an
officer. The regular, walking ON the
street, salutes every officer he meets by
raising the Strengthened fingers of his
right hand to the brim of his hat. just
over the right eye, and keeping them
there until the officer has passed.
The volunteer cannot be made to
hold his hand there in any such way.
If he salutes a strange officer of low
rank at all, he salutes him with the
quick dash which is the regular officer 8

erect and makes this salute. No one

Edible Birds Nests.

The birds build in great numbers on
the precipices and in the caverns of the
steep islands of the limestone series
which form one of the characteristics
of the gulf, and fragments of which &C.

Malay archipelago and in Tonquin.
Each of the islands under Praya Chat
va has guard of men upon it, living
i'll small cottages high up in some nook
Of the limestone rock, like a Norwegian
hut, or down on the spotless sand Of
the single little cove, beneath a palm
or two. The collecting of the nests is
effected by these men three times in the
year-in the hot season and at the be-
ginning and end of the rains. Great
care has to be exercised that the nests
should be taken at the moment when
the birds have Just finished building
and before any eggs are laid, for if this
has happened the birds are said not to
build again.
The collection of the nests is risky,
owing to their inaccessibility, but it is
profitable, owing to the high prices they
fetch about Sos pound for white and

She Created a Sensation.

1t was the first melon of the season
and was evidently brought from Flori.
da. The negro woman who got off the
Georgia Southern train with the melon
pretended that she did not notice the
sensation she created, but no conquer
ing hero ever walked with a prouder
step
At last two dozen pairs of eyes
watched the woman as she passed out
of the gate. AS she assembled the steps
one coon who could no longer control
his feelings was heard to say:
"I'd like ter see dat milyun drap
dead on de flo. ;"
"I'd like ter see dat oman drap dead
eff she'd jes drap de milyun an let it
bre'k," said another.
Meanwhile the woman stopped and
put the melon on the steps to take a
rest. Then the crowd gathered around,
most of them making comments loud
enough for the woman to hear them,
but she pretended not to hear word,
and after a short breathing spell she
took up the melon and marched on up
the street, followed by number of no.
tel porters, small boys, etc.
Had the melon been a genuine gyas-
cults it could not have created greater
sensation among the colored popula-
tion.-Macon Telegraph.

Queen Victoria's Money.

Queen Victoria is the first sovereign
of England who ever had anything to
leave, says The Chautauquan. All of
her predecessors upon the throne be-
queathed fine assortments of debts to
their posterity, which parliament was
called upon to pay, and while Victoria
permitted the people to be taxed to set
tie the private obligations of her uncles,
George " and William ", she herself
paid the debts of her father, the Duke
of Kent, with full interest, and has sew
eral times settled the liabilities of the
Prince of Wales TO the extent of several
millions Of dollars
There is great deal of gossip and
speculation in England as to the dispo-
sition the queen has made of her i'm
mense property. The bulk Of it will un-
doubtedly go to the Prince of Wales,
and il is supposed that her best estates
are entailed upon her successors with
the condition that they shall never be
mortgaged or alienated in any way. 1t
is also assumed that the palace at Os-
borne and a liberal amount of bonds
and leases will be left to her favorite
daughter, the Princess Beatrice, who is
also expecting to inherit the fortune of
Empress Eugenie, whose son, the i'll
fated prince imperial, was to have been
her husband. Princess Louise, the wife
of the Marquis of Lorne, has no chill
dren, and her husband will inherit the
immense estates of the Duke of Argyll,
so that she will be well provided for.

A Wet Country.

The railroad which with its branches
connects Colombo, the capital of Cey-
Ion, with the interior of the island, is
remarkable fer the engineering skill
shown in its construction and for its
prosperity. 1t makes an ascent of 3, 500
feet by succession of loops and curves,
with here and there tunnel. The chief
difficulty in running the railroad is due
to the way in which the rain comes
down. A recent book of travel, "A Run
Round the Empire, :" describes what the
rain did to train crawling up the
mountain side.
On Dec 81, 1896, II kinches of rain
fell in "a hours. The engineer of
train saw that beyond certain tunnel
the line was washed away. He stopped
the train. and the passengers got out.
One OF them, seeing stones rolling down
the mountainside above them, advised
the engineer to push for the tunnel.
Just as the train entered the tunnel
down came huge mass Of rock, which
carried away the embankment as well
as the last car of the train-a goods van
fortunately Close behind the tunnel
the ends of the rail were hanging free
over precipice, and a similar condition
existed not far ahead
A messenger came down from plant
er's bungalow above the tunnel to say
that water was accommodating in the
cutting i'll front, and that if it broke
through the debris which served as a
dam it would wash the train out of
the tunnel. The passengers fastened to
leave the cars, and in walking through
the water in the cutting found it up to
their breasts

5 Cents. Cents.

Price has been reduced on the
original, old-fashioned Dobbins'
Electric Soap, so that it can now
be bought at 5 cents for a full
sized bar. Quality same as for
last thirty-three years, "BEsT OF
ALL" Ask your grocer for it.
No one has eUer found fault with
its quality, no one can nOao find
fault with its price. 1t stands as
it has for thirty-three years, in a
class by itself, as TO quality, puri-
ty and economy, but is now in
class with common brown soaps
as to price.
1t is the original Electric and is guaran-
teed to be worth four times as much as any
other soap ever made. For washing any
thing, from the finest lace to the heaviest
blanket it is without peer.

81 stopped in Wilmington, Del, four
or five nights ago." he said, land be.
Jig rather Ionesome-for Wilmington
is not the Chicago Of the Atlantic sea-
board, all report to the contrary not
withstanding-I went with three other
fellows up street piece and a half to
a billiard parlor for excitement. We
had played a few games-in fact, it
was about time to quit-when rather
we'll dressed party, feet tall and
weighing 300 in his stockings, came III
and after talking around promiscuous
like awhile he offered to bet any amount
that he could beat any man in the
room, at any game of Billiards he might
select.
81 am only a fair sort of player, as
my companions were, and we backed
away, for I'm never the one to catch
any singed cat snaps if know myself
Every body else was as cautious, and
seeing no takers of his bet he offered to
double his wager that he could knock
any man in the room out in four rounds.
He slung out his chest and shut up a
big pair of fists in a way that was not
inviting to the amateur, and nobody
offered to go into the ring with the
slugger. AS for myself, couldn't have
stood up against a giant like that for
half round, and I felt like chucking
down behind the table till the air
cleared.
"The big fellow by this time was
becoming sassy and in rapid succession
offered to swim or row or shoot or fence
or ride or even play a game Of golf
against any man in the room at any
time any one might designate, but there
was no one to take him up, for it was
apparently Delaware crowd, and
therefore pre-eminently conservative,
At last the stranger picked up one OF
the billiard balls on the table where we
had just finished our game and, jug
Cling it a minute, he offered to bet he
could hold it out at arms length for 30
minutes.
"Well, it seemed that every man in
the room knew how darn heavy post
age stamp got at the end of mans ex-
tended arm in about five minutes, and
there was a rush to take him up. He
was betting to 5, and it wasn't long
until he he had up 81 or So covered by
all the loose change the crowd had, a
cooperative bet having been made up
against the Spaniard, let us call him.
The preliminaries being finished, the
feat began, and we sat around waiting
hungrily to divide the spoils, but the
longer we waited the longer he held on,
and when the half hour was up he let
the ball down as easy as if it didn't
weigh over all ounce.
1--WE looked at each other and looked
at him. Sorry, gents, he said, as he
raked in the pot. Sorry, but you ought
to have seen my bluff. This little trick
is my entire stock in trade, and can t

Rushed the Letter.

A teacher of Holyoke, Mass, who is
studying manual training in Sweden at
a point where the cars run only twice a
week, recently received a letter from
home in flag" envelope. which the
authorities thought TO bea communica-
ton from the United States government
ON account of the flag. Immediately a
special train was made up and took
that letter 40 miles for the benefit OF
the recipient
