An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the we'll known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA F'IG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelliug colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and SUBJ
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make 1t the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA Flo SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

Preserving Surplus
Butter.
Summer

About the most convenient way
of preserving SPILL quantity OF
butter for future family use is to
wrap each lump of butter by itself
in clean and moistened piece of
thin muslin and then pack in stone
jars. Tubs will do if perfectly
sweet and not leaky. Keep the
butter covered with a clear brine
made by bringing to ! oiling point
and holding for some minutes a
solution of salt in water. It should
be made of good butter salt, free
from odor, aud pure water, and the
solution should ke saturated, i e,
there should be ns much salt added
as will dissolve. After boiling
slightly for eight to ten minutes,
set in a cool place and when
thoroughly cooled the brine may
be poured over the butter.
Be sure to keep the butter we'll
under the brine by means of a
slight weight placed on top of it.
If the butter is allowed to float it
will come in contact with air and
be injured. The boiling removes
the air from the brine and destroys
the ferments which may be present
in the salt or water. Keep the jars
covered and on the bottom of the
cellar or other cool place. If tubs
are used put them on a board or
stone to prevent the hoops rotting
off. 1t ought to be understood
that butter foi long keeping mnst
have thu buttermilk very thor
oughly removed at the time it is
made. Treated in the manner
indicated there should be no
difficulty in preserving the summer
butter surplus for the following
winter and spring consumption.

The Charlotte Observer says that,
"The truth is that the more we hear
of the war in the Philippines, the
less we find in it to commend.
The Baltimore Sun tells the truth
when it says that the war we are
carrying on against our "rebels"
in the Philippines resembles
closely the devastating war Spain
was carrying on in Cuba when we
interfered. Says the Sun: Spain
was blamed for killing Cuban
patriots, arresting industry and
commerce, devasting the country
and making slow progress. In
the Philippines we have killed far
more of the natives than Spain.
ever killed in Cuba. and as some
of our soldiers report that no
quarters given to the Filipinos, we
cannot claim much superiority to-
Spain in the point of barbarity."
The God Of Battles may be on ouri
side in fight of this kind, but
He is not inspiring us with
strength.

Food Value of An Eegg.

Six large eggs will weigh about
one pound. As a flesh producer
one pound of eggs is equal to one
pound of beef. About one-third
the weight OF an egg is solid nutri-
ment, which is more than can be
said Of meat. There are no bones
and tough pieces that have to bo
laid aside. Practically an egg is
animal food, and yet there is none
of the disagreeable work Of the
butcher necessary to obtain it.
Eggs at average prices are among
the cheapest and most nutritious
articles of diet. Like milk, an
egg is complete food in itself, con-
tanning everything that 10 neces-
sary for the development Of a per-
feet animal. It is also easily
digested if not damaged in cook
ing.-Presbyterian Banner.

Capt. Jim Miners Latest Piece

This section of Edgefeld c ounty,
Liberty Hill or Longmires, is fine
section for dirt daubers, because
there is 30 much mud here in the
winter, in fact every time it rains.
1t is called Longmires because in
rainy weather there is long mire
from here to Edgefeld, hence the
name; and this reminds me that
there used to be an old writing
school teacher here by the name
of Dunmire, past i,articiple Dun
mutton, He always spelled pepper
with one "p," thus peper. This
old writing teacher had two favor
ite pieces of poetry he invariably
used in his copy books for the pu-
pills to write after, to wit:
4 man Of words and not of deeds
Is like 8 "garding" full of weeds.
And
4 man OF deeds and not of words
Is like "garding' full of birds.
The last two lines we have always
supposed to be original with Dun
mire, we boys always called him
Dunmutton.
But I have wandered from my
subject. / started out to ask you
if you have heard or seen anything
of Jim Logan? 1t is rumored up
here that he hes gone to Charles
ton to the reunion, and if that be
30 it is time he was getting back.
1t has been frequently reported
that Mr.. Jim Logan had gone to
divers places, New York, Boston,
Chicago, New Orleans, etc., one
man even lad the cheek to say that
he had "gone to work."
By the way did you ever know
OF hear ofthe reason why you never
see or never will see q dead gray
mule or q dead jackass? Well, the
people up here say that these
quadrupeds all turn to old field
school teachers, and as a conse-
quence you never see q dead gray
mule or jackass. Ask Albert Mich
olson about it; you might also ask
him if he believes in the ancient
Egyptian doctrine of Metempsy-

We have heard some speculation as
to the meaning of the hyphenated
word alumni-alumne. We never had
in our midst before a co-educational
institution, hence we have not seen
these two words in such close juXta
position. Alumni is the masculine
plural of the Latin word alumnus
which means latterly graduate.
Alumna Is the feminine plural of the
same word. Hence the Alumni. Alum
