"Something New Under the SUM-

All doctors have tried to cure Catarrh
by tho use of powders, acid gases, inhal-
ers and drugs in paste form. Their pow

A New SurDrise.

A special to the Charlotte Observer
from Bonnettsville, s. c., says there arc
good reasons for believing that just
prior to tho meeting of Congress, in
December, that Senator McLaurin will
resign, and request Governor McSweo-
ncy to appoint his successor. Should
the Senator do this, which is most likely,
he would expect tho Governor to ap-
point strong man representing tho
same political views of Mossrs Bryan
and Iillman, and tho Senator would
ngs with tho purpose of regaining his
place in the Senate. The Senator be-
licvcs that he has as much right to define
Democratic principles as has Mr.. Bryan,
Mr.. Tillman or anyone elso. Mr.. Nc
Laurin says that Mr.. Bryan and Mr..
Tillman both opposed true Democracy
and advocated Populism, Socialism and
Communism and that no is opposed to
these disturbing political dogmas and is
determined by the aid of his follow
citizens, and tho holp of his God, to for
ever bury these South Carolina dis
turbers of the public peace.
Ono thing is settled: Those who know
John l.. McIaurin arc convinced that
the next eighteen months in tho Pal
mctto State will encompass tho fercest
political battle ever wagcd within her
borders.
One thing that convinccs your corrcs-
p0ndcnt that tho gentlemen managing
this movement arc in earnest, and arc In
the fight to the finish is this, in short
time, so tho cards announce, q strong
daily morning paper will DO established
in tho city of Columbia with q brilliant

mony of South Carolina. Last summer
for the sake of peace he was given no
opposition, and as soon as tho doors
were closed and all entries barred he
made slanderous attack upon. the Bible
and the ministry of this State.
Fellow citizens, there will never be
anything like. unity or .quietude among
our people until he is relegated to pri-
vate life. His incendiary appeals to
class hatred and prejudice, suoh as he
made at Gaffney to tho factory opera
tives, and his dictatorial spirit and utter
ances will keep up dissensions, divisions
and discord in the State. With the aid
of the people will make a heroic effort
during this campaign to break down
"bossism," with it's train of political
evils, and invite all good citizens to
assist me to inaugurate an era of free
thought, free speech and independence
of action on the part of the people of
South Carolina. The senior Senator in
the quietude of farmers life in Edge
field county, could be view cd as pitoh-
forkless pigmy and blessing to the

Beers Victorious in Big Battle.

London, May 3l.-On tho anniversary
of Lord Roberts entry into Johannesburg
the country has been startled by tho re-
coipt of news of desperate fighting and
heavy British losses within forty miles
of tho Gold Reef city. Tho battle at
Vladfontcin, on the Durham ohannes-
burg railroad, reported by Lord Kitche-
ncr, is tho most serious engagement since
Con. Clements reverse at Magalicsburg,
1t shows that Con. Dolaroy is in no way
daunted by tho capture of eleven of his
guns by Gen. Darlington six weeks ago.
The garrison of Vladfontcin, apparently
largely composed of ycomanry, had IA
mon put ont OF action. That their as
sailants camc to close quarters and snf
fercd heavily is shown by the number of
dead loft OH tho field.
Tho dispatch from Lord Kitchener
dated Pretoria, May 30th, is az follows:
"Gcn. Dixon's force at Vladfontein.
was attacked yesterday by Delalcy,s
forces and there was severe fighting.
The enemy. was eventually driven OF
with heavy loss, leaving thirty five dead.
regret that our casualties also wore
severe. The killed and wounded nun

GOVERNOR MoswEENEY DID RIGHT.

In returning the designations of Sena-
tors Tillman and McLaurin wo think
Governor McSweeney took tho wise
course. The people should be shielded
from the strife of a bitter campaign this
year, and their interests should be
placed above the political fortune of
either Senator. 1t is also apparent that
Senator McLaurin was able to take the
sober second thought in conforming to
tho request of the Governor in with
drawing his resignation.

Gen. Hampton was not able to attend
the reunion because of i'll health and,
therefore, Gen. Gordon spoke for him,
saying:
~ stand here in his name to tell you
that no Confederate veteran was ever
truer to the cause that you immortalize
than is Wade Hampton, and in his wan.
ing years his heart turns to you as to no
other men within the tide of time. In
his name thank you for the renewal of
confidence in that great South Caro-.
linian, Wade Hampton"
Several resolutions of minor importance
wero adopted and then came tho contest
for the next meeting place. Mrs. Kate
Cabel Curry, of Dallas, the daughter Of
General Cabel, extended hearty invita-
tion to the convention from Dallas. She
bore q message from Gov. Sayers urg-
ing that the convention select Dallas as
its next meeting place. Mrs. Curry was
followed by Gen. Bennett III. Young, of
Louisville, who not only extended an
invitation from that city, but ins' sted
that inasmuoh as the heavy rains dur
ing the Confederate reunion there pre-
vented Louisville from appearing at
her best and greatly limiting the enter
tainmont features, tho convention should
be held there next year and pei nit
Louisville another opportunity to enter
tain it.
Instantly there were cries of "Dallasn
and these brought the Louisville advo-
oates to their feet with shouts for that
city.
Gen. Gordon raped for order, but he
was not needed. An effort to select the
meeting place by viva voce vote failed,
and it was necessary to vote by divisions.
After an hour of tumult the vote was
finally counted, resulting: Dallas, 1893;
Louisville, 1,048.
Gen. Young then moved that tho vote
for Dallas bo made unanimous, which
motion was adopted.
Outside Of the work of the convention
and moro attractive to the great mass of
visitors, was the flower parade of tho
afternoon, which was one of the most
successful affairs of the kind ever given
in the CITY, and which it would be diff
cult to surpass in any place ut any time.

A GALLANT NEWSPAPER MAN
How Reporter Outwtted the Captain of a
German Steamer.

To make use OF his opportunities frequently
requires of the reporter a courage that might
be construed as melodramic. 1t is courage
nevertheless, and newspaper men accept ven
lures every day that would appall the laymen
The reporter looks upon them as part of his
prescribed duties says Allen Sangroe in EVERY.
BoDY's MAGAZINE. On one occasion company
of reporters hired tug and went down the Bay
to meet German steamer that had picked up
the crew of a wrecked United States man-of-
war. 1t was bitter cold and nearly midnight,
so that if the morning papers were to have the
story the steamer must be boarded Immediately,
But the quarantine laws forbade anyone to step
on the deck of an incoming vessel until the
doctors had passed her health papers. Know
ing this, the newspaper men decided to take
long chance. Representing their vessel as the
quarantine tug, they hailed the steamer, ran
alongside, and scrambled on board. There
we're about dozen of them, and the German
skipper eyed them very closely, but was deceiv-
ed for time by the acting of one reporter, who
knew the mannerisms of port doctor. When
the captain saw the reporters hustlng about
and getting news, however, and then sitting
down to write their stories, his eyes burned

the entire party. You're not doctors at all"
he exclaimed. You're nothing but reporters,
and I'll tell you what I'll do. By heavens, I'll
put the whole lot of you in ironsl
The newspaper men were not much worried
about that, b, they were bitterly disappointed
not to get their stories in after such success
full ruse. They looked at each other in silence
The captain was still raging up and down the
deck, denouncing the profession and the Amer.
lean people in general. while the rescued Of
fcers looked on in amusement.
Taking advantage of the shippers distraction,
one reporter signalled that he had scheme to
reach the tug The others cautiously, and one
at time passed him their manuscripts. Stuff
ing them into his pocket, and buttoning up his
coat, this man made one dash for the ships
side, leaped into the sea. swan to the tug, and,
amidst the cheers of his friends, steamed up to
the Battery. Every manuscript reached its des-
tination, and the morning papers had the news

Little Girls Narrow Escape,

What might have been very serious
accident occurred as Beth Jarrett
was going to Urbana last Wednesday
evening. Mrs. Jarrett has 200 young
chicks and happened to be out of meal,
and as it was getting late, she thought
she might send Beth after school.
Little Beth was delighted with the
idea of going alone and with some
trepidatiOn her mama saw her off,
cautioning her to be very careful
about the train.
AS the little girl was coming home
she saw the train coming, and thought
she would not have time to cross as
she remembered mama had caution
ed her so many times not to try to
cross if the train was near, so thought
she would wait on the train and watch
it go by. She was anxious to see just
how that train looked SO she drove
very close. She SAID she wanted to
see how it was made, it was so big and
went so fast.
They had whistled at the signal
post but just as they passed the cross
ing gave another screech and little
Beth did not know or see anything
more until her basket of sugar struck
her neck and the buggy wheel passed
over her hand.
Much credit is due to Claude Long
for the ready and thoughtful manner
in which he rendered assistance. He
sprang from his horse, set down his
basket OF eggs, renovated, put his
horse on the run, overlook and cap
tured the frightened horse, brought
him back, mended the broken harness,
put the little girl in and started her
safely home, remarking that "if papa
had not told me to hurry right back
| would not see you go home alone"
With the exception OF a few bruises
no damage was done. But mamma
thinks now nine year Odds are too
young to go alone especially across
the railroad track IL the horse is eyer
so gentle.

Last Day at No. 4s North Valley.


Tuesday was the last day Of school
at District No. AZ and early In the
forenoon wagons and buggies might
have been seen vending their way to-
wards the school house. Long before
noon the house was full Of parents and
friends with many on the outside.
The teacher, Miss Julia Daley, gave
possession Of the house over to the wo-
men who, assisted by the men, soon
had tables stretched on all the long
rows of desks. Coffee was soon boil
ing in large kettles out In the yard,
and IN a very short time dinner was
announced. Such dinner! 1t was a
sight long to be remembered. There
was everything to eat that one could
"think Of" The tables fairly groan-
ed under it, and after almost three
hundred had eaten, it seemed there
was plenty for that many more. Be
sides all this there was lemonade and
ice cream to spare.
After dinner was cleared away
school was called and a very appro-
pirate program was rendered by the
pupils. A splendid choir furnished
the music.
One of the main features of the &C
cassion was the presenting Uf a very
fine reclining chair to the treasurer
of the distrist, Mr.. Samuel Noffsker,
in commemoration of his services for
twenty-five years without vacation,
The presentation speech was made by
one of the pupils in very appropriate
manner.
County Supt Sailors was present and
made a short address covering the
history of the forming of the district,
different teachers employed and pro-
gress of our schools generally during
the last quarter Of century. There
l. no more prosperous county than this
German settlement and none that ap-
preciate good school better or take
more interest in it. All farm work
was stopped during the day to do hon-
or to Mr.. Noffsker and Miss Daley.
The present was the gift of the dis
trct and Will be appreciated as only
thing can that comes from friends
that are true, May North Valley
as the rose and see many more
such pleasant occasions are the wishes
Of A FRIEND.

Horses Stolen.

Last Tuesday week, man hired a
saddle horse from Link Reeves to ride
out into the country. He did not re-

out looking for man and horse.
Saturday night Dan Bower rode in

Wilder's store. When he went to get
his horse to go home he had no horse.
Up to the latest accounts no trace of
the horse has been found.
Horses are becoming more valuable.
