Common
Sense
IL ak with
Woz,,es,

If a person is i'll and needs a medi.
cine is it not wise to get one that has
stood the test of time and has hun
drcdS of thousands of cures to its
credit?
A great many women who are i'll try
verything they hear of ii the way of
medicine, and this experimenting with
unknown drugs is a constant menace
to their already impaired health.
This seems to us very unwiSe, for
there are remedies which are no ex-
periments and have been known years
and years to be doing only good.
Take for instance Lydia f. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; for thirty
years it's record has been one un-
broken chain of success. No medicine
for female ills the world has over
known has such a record for cures.
1t seems SO strange that some people
will take medicines about which they
really know nothing, some of which
might be, and are, really harmful I;
whilc on the other hand it is easily
proved that over one million women
have been restored to health by Lydia
Z. Pinl<ham's Vegetable Compound.
We have published in the news
papers of the United States more
genuine testimonial letters than have
ever ocen PE bllShcd IN the interest OF
any other medicine.
All this should, and does, produce
spirit of confidence in the hearts of
women which is difficult to dislodge.
and when they are asked to take some
thing else they say, - No, we want
Lydia h. Pinkham'S Vegetable Com
pound. which has been tried, and
never founG wanting, whose reliability
is established far beyond the expert
mental stage"

Washington, d. O., Jan. 23.--
For some time there has been
quite a contest over the post
mastership at Cheraw, s. O. Many
petitions and delegations have
come to Washington in favor of
the various candidates who are
contending for the .appointm Mt.
1t is expected that an appoint-
ment will be announced within
the next few days. In fact it
was expected that the name of
the successful candidate would be
announced last week, but the
matter was postponed, it is stated,
to allow the postoffice department
more time to consider the quail
ifications of the candidates. Many
Of the applicants are backed by
the senator's and various members
of the delegation in the house.
Among them are Il. M. Wells, w.
y. Benton and w. @. McCreight.
The retiring postmaster was a
colored lawyer who rendered his
resignation, it is said here. to
practice his profession. The as
sistant postmaster, r. f.. High
land, a barber, is an applicant for
the office also and although Il great
effort is being made Tor theea APP
pointment of a white man it is
said that Highland stands about
as good a chance of receiving the
the appointment as any. At the
post office department the other
day it was intimated that if the
South Carolina people could get
together on one candidate the
chances for the appointment of
white man would Be much i'm
proved.
Last Saturday night senator
Tlllman went over to Baltimore
for the purpose of being present
at the big Bryan meeting held
there under the auspices of the
Maryland Democratic association
and Bryan club of Baltimore city.
The senator returned to Wash
ington Sunday and was in his
seat in the senate on Monday.
During the dispute in the SEN
ate over the Pritchard resolution
on Monday. Senator Tillman once
or twice interrupted Senator
Pri'chard during his speech, and
asked th" North Carolina senator
some very pointed questions re-
garalng the appointmentment of
Nero poStmasterS in the, State of
South Carolina. IL is said that
Senator Tillman viii make
speech during the debate on the
resolution on the subject Of Negro
domination in the South. and if
he does there is likely TO be Il hot

Total Eclipse of the Sun

thS sun
Many of our citizens remember
the total or nearly total eclipse Of
the sun which occurred in this sec
tion OF the u S., in 1869. Well,
next Monday morning we will
have the opportunity of witnessing
another such event. The eclipse
will be caused BY the interposi-
ton of the moon between the sun
and the earth. 1t will begin
about 7:30 m, its middle will he
about $40, and the end about 10
M. The area of the eclipse will
be about so miles wide and Ian
caster is only about four miles
northwest of the center of the
area Of totality. Tho line OF the
center of the area of totality will
be ABOUT Elgin.
Mr Otis Ashmore gives the fol-
lowing directions, IN The State,
for making observations:
"Naked eye observations may
be made through smoked glass,
and every one who wishes to
witness the phenomenon should
prepare the glass beforehand.
Two pieces of glass of the same
size about three or four inches
square will be most convenient.
One piece should be smoked un~
til the sun seen through it does
not dazzle the eye, then narrow
hollow mat of thin cardboard is
glued the smoked surface while
the other piece of glass is glued TO
the mat, in this way the smoked
surface is protected from injury
In handling. Through such a
glass most of the features of the
eclipse may te seen in a very
satisfactory manner. No one
who values his eyes will risk them
unprotected upon the bright disk
of the sun. During actual totaIi-
ty, however, there is but little
danger in looking at the eclipse
directly with the unprotected
eyes.
