HISTORY.

Popular belief associates the
"King's Evip' with blood poi
soning and it is interesting to
here review the history of this
impression. The Kings Evil
first appears in History just prior
to the Twelfth Century when
Edward the Conqueror imagined
he possessed the miraculous gift
of curing certain diseases by the
simple touch and by pronouncing
few sacred words. After the
example of Edward, the King Of
France, became celebrated for
the skill with which they cured
scrofula, goitre, ETC., by his pro-
cess. Scrofula then became uni
versally known as the Kings
Evil and is to-day sometimes al
luded to by that name. Such g
method of cure las been claimed
to be the peculiar attribute of the
sovereigns of England and
France, bit history does not san
ton this, for it appears to have
been not unfrequently employed
in Scandinavia, and to have been
derived from the mystical prac-
tees of the Divide in curing dis
ease. The exact words used for
the cure Of Scrofula BY the
French Kings were: lie roi te
touche, Dieu te guerisse.'
In this enlightened age no.
body would be silly enough to
trust a case of Scrofula to a King
or his words unless it happened
that the King aforesaid, had a
diploma or two from medical
colleges of good reputc. At this
writing none of the Kings in our
circle Of acquaintance have taken
up the study OF medicine and we
therefore suggest that every man,
woman and child suffering from
this dreadful disease send fifty
cents to DR.. Jonathan G. Tru-
man, Lemon City, Fla, for a
bottle of "Marvelo.' There is
but one cure for the Kings Evil
for Scrofula and that one
cure is Marvelo. This marvel
ous preparation can only be OBJ
tanned of DR. Jonathan G. Tru-
man, Lemon City, Fla.

The walks along the histrionic Brandy

a Noble I.ifo.

1t is indeed interesting and profit
able to read and to study the lives of
noble men and women, and parents
cannot kspend money more wisely
than in supplying thoir children with
good biographies of great and good
men who stand out promi1 .ntly in
the worlds history, not only as wise
leaders but humble Christians. 1t
is also interesting to note how those
excellont traits of character descend
from sire to son through many gen
erations. Recently we received from
the Royal Publishing Company,
Richmond, Va, q new book entitled
"Robert Edward Lee, Soldier, Clti-
zen and Christian Patriot" Ono
great advantage in connection with
this book is that it gives in Il brief
but charming manner the history of
the Lees.s family for several hundred
years, showing that Richard Henry
Lee, Robert e. Lee and other master
minds sprang from noble family
whose history is as profitable as it is
interesting. Besides an excellent
biography of Gen. Leo and account
of his great military campaigns, it
tells how he won tho hearts of his
soldiers and will retain throungh all
ages the affection of friends and foes.
The work also contains largo num-
ber Of interesting historical docu-
ments giving the organization of tho
various armies, together with brief
biographical sketches Of such men as
Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, Glen. AL
bert Sidney Johnston, Gen. G. II.
Beaurogard, Gen. Braxton Bragg
Gen. John b. Hood, Lieutenant
General A. P. Hill, Admiral Raphael
Semmes, Gen. John B. Gordon, Gen.
James Longstreet and Gen. J. H.
Reagan. This is the only biography
of Gen. Lee over published on this
plan, and it is having q very lurge
scal'. The publishers advertise
through our columns for active
agents, rs it is sold only by subscrip-
ton. Those who distribute such q
work as this will be exorting q blessed
influence on tho rising generation
besides reaping a rich and profitable
harvest financially.

uchanan Holds to Double Liability.

Abbeville, S. c., Jan. 7.~:Circuit
Judge Buchanan has filed his decree
in tho bank of Lowndesvillo case.
This camo up on the report of the
Master, Walter L. Miller.
Tho Master found in favor of the
double liability of the stockholders
of bank, that they were liable not
only for their stock, but under tho
constitution and statutes to 105 per
cont besides. He also found that a
married woman who subscribed for
stock was liable just as any other
stockholder. Tho Master found that
deposit of title deed was an equit-
able mortgage as between the par
ties. Al, these points Judge Buch-
anan sustained. The following at
torneys wore engaged in this case:
Parker Il MCGOWAN, DeBruhl &
Lyon, Frank B. Gary, Graydon n
Graydon, l.. w. Perrin, of Abbe-
Vile; Prince e. Tribblo, Bonham
& Watkins, Quattlebum & Coch
ran d j. N. Brown, of Anderson,
and Buist & Buist, of Charleston.
This Is is the first timo this qucs-
tion has ovor como up in our courts
and it has therefore attracted wide
attraction. Lawyers, bankers, stock
holders and business men throughout
tho country at large are Interested in
the question.

Good New Year Philosophy.

Talmage, in some Of his recent
uttorances, seems to be an apostle of
optimis. Ho says: If any one has
anything gloomy to say, lot him say
it to himsolf, If ho must writo it,
let Linn not send it to editorial rooms,
but put it in the pigeon hole of his
own desk for his heirs an d assigns to
read further Oh, for probably they
can stand is better than wo I opce
gave 81 to hear Jenny Lind sing. 1
never will give cent to hear man
groan."
We agreo with contemporary in
saying there is not only sound phil
osophy but first class religion in that
sentiment. Tho groanors arc owl
dently back numbers. When you
see constitutional complaincr, give
him wide berth. A man with Il
countenance like a streak Of sun
shine ls always welcOnIe--but if you
want to scatter crowd introduce a
fellow into it with whom everything
goes wrong. Ho has either killed
his hogs in the wrong time of the
moon, planted his potatoes when
they all grow to tops, set his hens
when they all refused to hatch, has
tho rheumatism or some other equal
ly inspiring ailmont and manages to
