public to know of one concern IN the
land who are not afraid to be gener-
Gus to the needy and suffering. The

Colds, have given away over ten
million trial bottles of this great
medicine: and have the satisfaction
of knowing it has absolutely cured
thousands OF hopeless. Asthma,
Bronchitis, Hoarseness and all dis
eases of the Throat, Chest and Lungs

Womaa's Fate.

From the p cord, Blshwe!l, Ill.
No woman is better able to speak
to others regarding "woman's fate
than Mrs. Jacob Weaver, of Bush
nell, Ill, wife of ex-city marshall
Weaver. She had entirely recovered
from the illness which kept her bed
fast much of the time for five or six
years past; and says her recovery is
due to that we'll known remedy, DR..
Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. Weaver is 6fty-six years old,
and has lived in Bushnell nearly
thirty years. She is of unquestioned
verecity and unblemished reputation.
The story of her recovery is interest.
ing. She says:
Il suffered for FIVE or six years
with the trouble thaJ comes 20
women at this time OF my life. I
was unable much of the time to do
my own work, and suffered beyond
my power to describe. I was down
hearted and melancholy.
Il took many different medicines,
in fact I took medicine ali the time,
but nothing seemed to do me any
good.
II read about DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, and some of my
friends recommended them highly.
I made up my mind to try them.

Now Avowed Program of the Coief

Washington, March "a The Pres
ident said to several of his visitors
today, in discussing the situation,
that he would do everything consis-
tent with the honor and dignity OF
the country to avert war, and he still
believed war could be averted. He
also said that he believed the govern
ment of Spain was as anxious for
peace as we were, but, at the same
time, he did not hesitate to admit the
gravity of the situation. The Presi-
dent frankly acknowledges that ne
believes the report of the board OF
inquiry will find that the Maine was
blown up from the outside. His
program has been definitely decided
1t is his purpose to treat the blowing
up of the Maine as an incident. The
report of the board will be sent to
Congress on Monday, with a very
brief message, relating the events
leading up to that point and inform
ing Congress that the facts contained
in the report have been cabled to
Madrid to be laid before the Spanish
government by Minister Woodford.

! It was dark and the road was uu-
certain, so when my horse baked at
! something in the middle of the road
I dismounted and proceeded to in
vestigatc. At the first glance [ took
the object to be woman, but as [
untangled the sheet in which the
body was wrapped, week masculine
voice whined:
Don't hit man when he's down"
"Here, get up" said 1, shaking
him, thinking it was simply case Of
! drunk. He sat up and glanced
around nervously.
"Has the wild Ter gone?' he wills
pered.
There was no one here when I
arrired,'' I answered, "What is tie
trouble?"
"Stranger, wuz rla,ins al Ike on

after leavin' home one day, an years

"Humph! Ole Bill spinks?" says
she.
I'm the critter," says I.
Then by gum she fell on me like

CuaileSLOll, -. w.,
March, 5th 1898.
To Commanders Of Clmps I. c. V.
South Carolina Div:
1t has been called to the attention
of the Young Mems Business League,
that there are in this State some
Confederate Veterans who would like
to attend the annual re union of the
S. c. Division to be held at Charles
ton, commencing April the 9th, 1893,
and only could do SO il, during their
stay in the city, they would be pro-
vided with lodging and meals. The
Y. NJ. 3 L., representing the citizens
Of Charleston, extends to all such a
most cordial welcome. But it will
be necessary, in order that adequate
accommodation should be provided,
that they should know, at least ap-
proximately, how many such would
be likely to come. They can pro-
vide places to sleep, beds, and meals,
the veterans bringing their blankets
as in the old times, whose recollec-
tions they are renewing.
To enable the Y. NJ. B. t. to csti-
mate the accommodations required
we would be obliged, if you could adj
wise Mr.. Il. II. Simous, Chairman
Committee on Entertainment, how
many you think from your nelshbor-
hood, so circumstanccd, and needing
such accommodation to enable than
to attend, will be apt to come.
Please reply pl omptly in order
that the Y. NJ. 3. i. may know, if
they can arrange, and how they must
arrange for the comfort of such vet
Grams, whom the people OF Charleston
would like to do honor to.

NO DEMAND UPON SPAIN.

No demand will be made upon
Spain, but the laying of the facts
before the Spanish government will
be equivalent to calling upon Spain
for an explanation and such action as
he may deem proper.
1t is the purpose of the House
leaders to refer the report and mes
sage to the committee on foreign
affairs, without debate, and to this
purpose it is believed the Democrats
of the House have acquiesced, reserv
ing the right to demand action if
report from the committee is tco
long delayed. Much will then de-
pend upon Spain's response; but
there are those close to the President
who believe that from the time the
report is sent to Congress it will
drop out as factor in the situation.

INTERVENTION.

The second part of the Presidents
program removes the Maine question
and involves intervention on humani
tartan grounds within week or ten
days after the report OF the board
goes to Congress. It will be inter
vention to relieve the starvation in
Cuba, and upon Spain's acquiescence
in or objection to this act will depend
peace or war. A prominent member
of the House said today that in his
opinion the next two weeks would
determine which it would be.
Such information as exists here
leads those close to the President to
believe that the Spanish government
will 60 to any length it dares to pre-,
serve peace. The queen regent is
especially anxious to prevent war,
and it is believed the ministry will
90 just as far as it can without jeop-
ardizirg it's own existence and the
present Spanish dynasty.

An Oregon paper suggests that Mr..
Corbett, knowing that he has but a
few years of this life before him, Is
enjoying his money by spending some
of it in politics. If he will continue
to allow Graham Glass, Attorney
Joseph, and others of that ilk, to
have free access to his property, he
can rest assured that his wishes, so
far as "blowing" his money is con-
cerned, will be handsomely realized.

Weyler is as implacable as ever.
He says SPAN should not only hang
on to the whole of the Philippines
outside of Manila and vicinity, but
she should reserve the right to cede
any of the islands TO any other power
by sale or exchange. But the Span
ish commissioners will not be in
fiuenced by Weyler. The conditions
are against him. The United States,
from its position in the Philippine
capital, is in virtual control of the
whole island of Luzon, and it could,
if war were resumed, soon get pos
session of the rest Of the islands. All
this is known to the Sagasta Ministry
and to its representatives. on the
peace commission. Weyler's coun-
sci will not count in this case. The
present indications are that the
United States will get the whole of
tne islands, and that Spain will lose
the temptation 10 sell or give any of
them to any other country. Ameri-
cas- rc-anforcements to Dewey and
Merritt are a warning to Spain and
to all other countries whom it may
concern that our interests in the
islands will be protected.
