G. +. r. KORNEGAY DEAD.

In the death of Mr.. Caleb r. F.
Kornegay, which occurred at his
home near Mt. Olive last Thursday
evening at 4 O'Clock, our county
loses an exemplary citizen, his
community its kindest friend aud
his family, husband and father
whose memory will be ever green.
During the reconstruction day S,
Immediately after the war, Mr..
Kornegay acted as sheriff of the
county by appointment of the
Governor, and subsequently for a
number of years he was treasurer
of the county under Democratic
regime. He was some Is years
of age and had been in declining
health for several years. He was
the father Of our esteemed Reg
lister of Deeds, Mr.. Geo. G. Kor-
negay, and of Capt. John, Grains
ger, Wade Hampton, Robert Lee,
and DR.. Kornegay, ell of whcm,
with his venerable wife and three
daughters, survive him.
In every relation of life Mr..
Kornegay won and retained the
entire confidence and esteem OF
his associates, and now that he has
left us for a season, the heartfe1t
regrets of all who knew him attest
the strong hold he possessed or
their regard.
A long life, we'll spent, ha:
closed, and it will be the richest
heritage of his family and friend:
that no unworthy act of all these
long years shall for moment din
the brightness of his memory,
So many years he had trusted
all in the love of the Saviour he 81
reverently worshipped, that whe1
the summons came, with calm an,
serene hope he passed beyond tn
vail and rests, henceforth. witt

No Right to Ugliness.

The woman who is lovely in face,
form and temper will always have
friends, but one who would be at
tractive must keep her health. If
she is weak, sickly and all run
down, she will be nervous and ir-
ritable. If she has constipation or
kidney trouble, her impure blood
will cause pimrles, blotches, skin
eruption and wretched complex
ion. Electric Bitters is the best
medicine in the world to regulate
stomach, liver and kidneys and to
purify the blood. 1t gives strong
nerves, bright eyes, smooth
velvety complexion. 1t will make

The Hague Programme.

In the peace conference at This
Hague, now fully organized, full,
too, of good intentions, Austro,
Hungary, Belgium, China, Den
mark, France, Germany, Great
Britain, Holland, Italy, japan,
Norway and Sweden, Persia,
Portugal, Roumania, Russia,
Servia, Siam, Spain, switzerland,
Turkey and the United States are
represented by strong and repre-.
sentative men. The delegations
of the United States and Great
Britain are especially wellsbal>
anced, each containing a leading
officer Of the army and of the
navy. Tho German'delegation ins
cludes two great publicists from
he universities. AS a rule the
nations are each represented by
two diplomats, one soldier and
one naval officer. The personality
of the convention is confessedly
high.
The program Of the conYen-
ton has been thus summarized:
An agreement not to increase
naval Or military forces, and the
corresponding budgets, for a
fixed period; an endeavor to find
means Of reducing the forces and
budgets in the future; interdic=
ton of the use Of any new weapon
Or explosive of a power fuller
than now made; restriction of the
use of the most terrible OF exists
ing explosives, and forbidding
the throwing of any explosives
from balloons Or similarly; for-
bidding the employment of sub
marine torpedoes and similar con-
trivances;undertakiug not to con.
struct vessels with rams; applica-
ton of the Geneva conve ton to
naval warfare; naturalization of
vessels saving those wrecked in
naval battles; revision of the de>
claration concerning the laws and
customs of war elaborated at
Brussels in 1874; acceptance of
the principle of mediation and
arbitration in such cases as lend
themselves thereto.
Much Of this programme is
impracticable. The American
delegation will undoubtedly sup
port the proposition that looks to
the exemption from capture OF
private property on the high
seas, but it's chief efforts will
doubtless be directed towards the
appointment of permanent in
ternational court of arbitration.

WOMAN'S NIGHTMARE.
She Shudders When She Realizes the
Danger and Pain of Child bearing.

There is SO much suffering and danger
in store for the young mother, that her
happy anticipation soon gives way to a
feeling of dread at the thought of the
pain which she must undergo. This
constant fear so preys upon the mind Of
many women that it fills them with ter
TOR and makes baby's coming a source
of the greatest anxiety and dread.
All the suffering and danger of the
ordeal can be avoided by the use
of 'Mother's Friend, - which prepares
the body for this important event. It
relieves morning Sickness" and many
other unpleasant conditions which ex-
ist during this time. Thousands Of
women praise Mothers Friend" for
bringing them safely through the most
critical period of their lives. ~
Every woman should send their name
and address to the Bradffeld Regulator

The Care of Confederate Graves.

The. resolution proposed by
General Stephen D. Lee at the
recent reunion in Charleston
would have been an acceptance
of the proposition to transfer the
care of all Confederate graves to
the general government. It en>
countered the opposition that
springs from very natural and
pardonable pride, and the follow
ing substite was adopted:
"The United Confederate Veter-
ans in annual reunion assembled
desire to place upon record their
sincere appreciation of the ut>
terances of the president of the
United States in Atlanta in De-
cember last concerning the asa
sumption of the care of the
graves of our Confederate dead
by the national government. We
appreciate every kindly senti-
ment expressed and we shall vel
come any legislation which shall
result in the care Of the graves of
our comrades in the northern
states by our government, In
regard to our dead whose remains
are resting in the states which
were represented in the confed-
eracy and Maryland, the care of
their final resting place is a
sacred trust, dear 10 the hearts
of southern women, and we be-
lieve we can safely let it remain
there"
Perhaps a wiser or more com.
forting solution could not have
been found. All graves of the
men who fought for the Confed
eracy will be marked and tender
ly cared for in the present time.
It is just a question whether,
looking to the long future, it
would not have been better to
have permitted men like Stephen
D. Lee, acting for the general
government, to care for the
graves of southern soldiers. The
south itself. paying at least a full
share through the custom houses
of federal taxation would in truth
and in fact thus be taking care of
the graves of its own heroes.
This, too. is the country of all.
and it is impossible to believe
that the federal government
would have placed the southern
cemeteries in other hands than
those OF Confederate veterans.
But the question has been hap
PLY settled for the time being. If
a change be desirable-if all
alike, whether they were the gray
Or the blue, should be honored
by the general government-then
the Confederate Veterans. or the
Sons of Confederate Veterans
can be trusted to make the
change. The present plan is
honorable and praiseworthy, and
the graves Of those who died in
the north will doubtless be look
ed after with all the care and
ten derness that the new feeling
of fraternity can dictate. The
soldiers of both sections, who
fell in the war with Spain. lie now
in common cemeteries, and this
means that the time has come to
recognize all brave men as COM
mon heritage.

Solid Gold Plate.

What the Vanderbilt and the Bradley
Martin balls have been in recent times
to the whole country as browning events
Of social splendor, 80 were the Rush
balls in the early ffties. In the dining
room Of her Philadelphia mansion $50
guests would sit down at time on cush-
toned seats of blue damask, the tables
shining with rare china and solid gold
plate, while rows of servants, wearing
blue ribbons, kept guard at the doors.
The skill of the cleverest caterers in the
country was taxed to provide novelties
for the table. Nothing pleased the
hostess on one of these occasions more
that the surprise of her guests at be-
holding peacocks that had been care
fully roasted with all their magnificent

Gifts to Uncle Sam.

On the 7th day OF the month Of
Schawwal, in the year OF 1854 Of the
Hegira--which is the Arabian way Of
writing December %, 1839-the Sui
tan Of Oman, whose name was Seyyid
Saood, Bin Sultan Bin Ahmed, ad-
dressed a letter to ellis Excellency,
Martin Van Buren,, President of the
United States of North America" in
which he informed him that he had
sent him by the royal ship, Sultanee,
a few trifles as a token OF friendship
and good feeling. These trifies con-
sisted of two Arabian horses and a
groom, one bottle Of altar Of roses,
two pieces OF gold, five demijohns Of
rose water; one Persian carpet, ono
gold ornament with silk tassel, four
camel's hair shawla,one gold mounted
sword, two large pearls. string Of
$50 pearls, one gold plate, one box of
diamonds, one gold snuff box stud
ded with precious stones, and one box
Of mixed pearls and diamonds. I'm
der the Constitution the President is
prohibited from accepting personal
gift from any foreign State or Power,
and as the Sultan's gift had arrived
In the New York harbor, and the COM
mander Of the Sultanee would not
leave without presenting his masters
gifts, an embarrassing complication
was the outcome. The matter was
referred to Congress and after three
months of correspondence, red tape
and legislation, the Sultan's Christ
mas presents were accepted, and the
President was put to the trouble of
selling the horses, shawls and rose
water while Uncle Sam was put to a
further trouble Of finding a suitable
place to store the remaining gifts, land
was afterwards put to u great ex.
pense in capturing thief who car
ried off the collection in bag and

Mining two Miles Deep.

At the recent conference Of the in
sutton of OF civil engineers in Lon
don, Johr Hays Hammond read a
paper on deep mining in which he ex-
pressed an opinion that mining can
be done at a depth Of 10000 feet with
preesn: appliances and that this limit
can be extended much further with
probable improvements in machinery.
The difficulty in hosting from the
great depths Mr.. Hammond proposes
to meet by breaking the ift-hoist-
ing through one shaft to 5OOO-foot
level and then transfer tho load to
another cage. The increase Of tenn
perature with the depth is not an in
superable difficulty by any means. In

Fined for Not Curing "A Toothache.

An advertiser has to stick to the
truth in South America," said the
representative Of large shipping
concern. 81 know that seems incred-
ible, but it's absolutely true. Some
years ago dealer in New Orleans
sent an assorted lot of patent medi-
cines to an American agent Mt San
tiago, Chill. Among the stuff was
lot OF toothache drops, which we're
warranted on the bottle to cure the
worst case Of toothache in ten MN
utes. Here nobody would take such
an assertion seriously, but down there
it's different. The first man who
bought bottle made an immediate
application, and then pulled out his
watch. When ten minutes elapsed
and the tooth calmly continued to
ache he was furious end at once had
the agent arrested. The poor fellow
was fined $1,000 and sentenced to
three months in Jail. Through tile
efforts of the American Consul the
imprisonment was knocked off, but
he had to pay the fine, and it broke
him up in business. That story is
absolutely true. as can be testified to
by dozen people now in the city.
