Swansea's Doings.

10 tne HoAIOr OF tue OlspaCcD:
James Y. Smith is still teaching a
successful pay school here and his
pupils now number fifty.
Mr.. Haskell Brooker is teachir e
the Trinity school in Orargeburg
county.
Several disastrous forest fires have
occurred in our country. Some from
railroad fires, some from carelessness
and one below in Orapgeburg county
caught from tree out of which a
negro had ''smoked a rabbit" and
left fire in the tree. Early next
morning it caught, and over ten
thousand acres Of land paid the
penalty for a rabbit hunt. The en-
tire rabbit family of Orangeburg
county, if caught and sold at good
prices, could not pay the damages.
Several years ago Mr.. George King,
some miles above Swansea, was splow-
ing an OK and around it's collar were
rags and cotton to make it easy for
his shoulders. A windy day in
March he plowed by log heap on
fire and fire blew into the combustible
matter on his neck. The OK ran
away from friend King and with all
his power of endurance made for the
old home from which Mr.. King
bought him, five miles away, and
dropped the faggots as he ran, and
more than ten thousand acres of land
and several thousand fence panels
paid the ransom. Behold what great
fires little matter kindleth.
A negro here has discovered way
to keep ''de chicken from scratchin,,
de corn up. About the time for the
corn to come up after planting, he
catches all his chickens and cracks
their toes with hammer and before
they are we'll enough to scratch, ''de
corn is outen de way.
According to the census report
Swansea is the largest Of the young
towns in the county and is next: to
Leesville in size and it's citizens think
of equal Importance. =. -:
The new Town Council is enforcing
law and order to the great delight of
US all. Rowdyism, vulgarity and
profanity are now not allowed and
Mr.. Coats, the newly appointed Mar
shall, is strictly enforc ing the ordi-
nances of the town. ......,..
Cupid is still cutting his didoes
and young man of Swansea will
coon have full set of harness which
he can't break out of nor can't kick
off.
John Martin has commenced the
erection of two story dwelling for
Mally Williams. The reputation Of
Johnnie as a carpenter fortells the
completion of neat home.
The position taken by our govern
ment in the Chinese trouble is in
spring to any public spirited citizen
and will be elevating to the other
powers of the world. It will give US
the confidence of these poor be
nighted people and be great aux
ilarary in helping US and help them
break away from this historic stagna,

advantages of the Christian system
The great officers of State and

Rheumatism

Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest
and distress from tortured muscles, aching
Joints and excited nerves. The blood has
been poisoned by the accumulation OF
waste matter in the system, and can no
longer supply the PURE and health sustain
ing food they require. The whole system
feels the effect of this acid poison and
not until the blood has been purified and
brought back to healthy condition will
the aches and pains cease.
Mrs. James Kell, of 7o7 Ninth street, n. E.
Washington D. c., writes as follows: "a few
months ago had an attack of Sciatic Rheuua
