EMILY GEIGER HONORED.

Heroine OF South Carolina.

whose daring ride of more than a hundred
miles though the enemy's lines in 1851 aided
materially in baking the British in South Caro-

the Revolution, has erected In the state House
a handsome md costly tablet to that heroine.

was buried In the family burying ground
about ten miles from Columbia. but any mark
on tho grave has been removed and il is now
impossible 20 find it.
II Is a tradition that in 1925 when Lafayette
last visited this country and n ball was given
in his honor in Charleston Mrs. Threwitts,
then OF mature years, WAS persuaded to make
the long Journey from hoc home and danced
the first minuet with the gallant French Mar
0uis. To ride on horseback 80 miles in two
and a half days through n th,Cklv settled Coun-
try when safety ls assured, would tax the en-
dIrance Of any woman. but the task the eiGh-
teen.ycar-oid Emily Geiror undertook to az
comr'ish for Gen. Nathaniel Greene was far
moro difficult, besides being periIous. Greenc's
strong British garrison, at Ninety-six by tho
advance of Lord Rawdon'E army, the Amerl-
cans ~retreated 10 the northern part OF the
state. To get Gen. Slmrter to move M from
the Santee was considered imperative by the
American cornmande", so that their combined
force could deal the British, G. blow. Tories
lived in middle Carolina and British soldiers
guarded every road. No man could get
through.
Tnily Geiger, the daughter Of a crippled
ratrIot. pleaded so earnestly that Gen. Greene
permitted her to undertake the p~erilous ride.
When near where Columbia now stands she
was captured by scouts and taken before
Rawdon. Tory women were sent for TO search
her. and In the meantime Emily eat her des-
patches. She had memorized them.
on being released, she procured a fresh
horse from friends and continued her ride

The assertion that horse Juice is uni

the medical profession and uine-tauths Of
the medical journals believe that il is the
carbOlic acid in ant-tOXin which gives 10
therapeutic effect and that the sole action
OF the horse juice is to poison the blood
and weaken the nerves OF unfortunate vic
tins of this treatment.
From the four quarters of the civilized
globe comes news that serIms and So
called anti-tcxins are being discarded in
favor Of pure solutions Of carboiic acid
with great success. The Canada Medical

Mrs. WorraU told her TO sit down and
rest and she did So The girl dropped
asleep on the sofa and her sleep has con
tinued ever since
BY great efforts She has been aroused
three times. but only m0mentarily. and
even then she did not regain conscious

they closed again. Solid food could not
be got down her throat but she was made

Miss ireland. yesterday evening. had
then been asleep about 100 hours she
was almost motionless. and her breathing
