A Coed Suggestion.

Our correspondent occasional"
makes a good suggestion in last
weeks issue and one that We hope
to see adopted. There is no doubt
but what Batesburg and Leesville
should have a Magistrate within
easy reach, so that the people of
these two thriving andaProsperous
towns can have their business expi-
ditiously transacted. 1t is certainly
annoying to have to ride two or three
miles in the country to have legal
business transacted and it is not
only annoying but a great deal OF
time is consumed. Our delegation
in the Legislature will do the grace.
full thing if they will have an addi-
tional Magisterial District covering
the territory Of Bstesburg and Lees
vile. Then these people can arrange
among themselves to alternate the
residence of the Magistrate; say for
instance, that a Batesburg man be
elected Magistrate for two years;
III n a Leesville man for the sane
length Of time: and 80 on. AS it is
the present arrangement is very in
convenient and costly.

A Purely Vegetable Blood
Remedy is the Only
Cure.

If the people generally knew the
true cause of Rheumatism. there
would be no such thing as lini-
ments and lotions for this painful
and disabling disease. The fact is,
Rheumatism is a disordered state
of the blood-it can be reached,
therefore, only through the blood.
But all blood remedies can not cure
Rheumatism, for it is an obstinate
disease, one which requires a real
blood remedy-something more than
q mere tonic. Swift's Specific is
the only real blood remedy, and it
promptly goes to the very bottom
of even the most obstinate case.
A few a ago l was taken with in
hammatory Rheumatism which though
mild at first, became gradually so in
tense that l was for weeks unable to
walk. tried several prominent physl-
clans and took their treatment faith
fully, but was unable to get the slightest
relief. In fact, my condition seemed to
grow worse, the pains spread over my
entire body, and from November to
March / suffered agony. l tried many
patent medicines, but nome relieved me.
Upon the advice of a friend decided to
try 8. S. S. Before allowing me to take
it, however, my guardian, who was a
chemist, analysed the remedy, and pro-
nounced it free Of potash or mercury

Death Of Mrs .. 7. Gable.

Mrs. D. Thomas Gable died at the.
home of her husband in the Midway
section, on Sunday of last week and
was buried in the family burying
ground on the Monday following.
The health of Mrs. Gable vas greatly
impaired by her constant attendance
upon the bedside of her sick son,
who preceded her to the spirit land
by only a few weeks and from the
shock at the death of her son and
hsr enfeebled condition, she was un.
able to rally and quietly and peace
fully fell asleep upon the bosom Of
Jesus, who she so faithfully and ac-
ceptably served. Having chosen
that better portion" she unassum-
ingly followed in the footsteps Of
Jesus her Master counting all else
lost save him cruci6ed and resu
rected. Her experience in the Chris
tan life Was brilliant and radiant
with good deeds and a Cody walk
and conversation. Active and ener-
getic in the higher and nobler life ola
child of God and having received the
baptism which cometh from above,
she never tired in her efforts to make
others happy and her keenest delight
was in bearing the burdens Of the
weak and poor. A noble woman has
gone to her r. reward and We IRE left
to mingle our sorrow and sympathy
with the sorrow, symp THY and tears
of her loved ones.

Will Be RUNNING Again.

Our information is that we are
DON to have another cotton factory
in operation in this county. Some
years ago the business men and en-
terprising citizens of Batesburg
organized a company for the purpose
of manufacturing cotton goods. All
necessary buildings were erected, the
machinery purchased and placed in
position and for awhile goods of a
superior quality were manufactured
but from some cause which we know
not of the enterprise was not a sue
cess. It lanquished and lanquishing
it died. Since that time the prop
erty has passed into several hands
but the machinery has since remained
idle and we believe no successful
effort has been made to start it up
again. However the Georgia Rul-
road Bank has sold the property to
Mr.. Morgan L. Gleaton. Of Spring
field, Orangeburg county for $4,000
and the mill will start up again as
soon as the necessary arrangements
can be made. We trust that the
enterprise will now be a permanent
success both for the sake of the en-
terprising investor and the town OF
Bstesburg.
