An Oconee Lady Teaching Statutory Law.

The Spartanburg correspondent
of the News and Courier, writing
about the recent convention OIL
Woman's Clubs held in Grecnville
tells how an Oconce lady set the
convention and the State officers
right on an important point of statu.
tory law. lie says:
The club women arc going to take
the Governor and Superintendent ot
Education in hand and set them
right on certain things. A member
OF the Federation offered rcsolu.
ton providing for a petition to the
General Assembly to pass law
authorizing the planting of trees
The president announced that Gov.
ernor McSweeney had been written
TO on the subject and he fully en-.
dorsed the idea. A member arose
and said the resolution was useless
inasnuch as there was such 6
statute now in force and it had been
observed in Oconee county severa
years. The president said the
speaker must be mistaken, and tc
corroboratc Governor McSweeney's
statement she had letter read from
Superintendent McMahan saying that
he hoped the club women woulG
move in the matter. The Oconct
delegate said she did not care what
the Governor and Superintendent
said, there was such law now II
force. Finally committee was
appointed to investigate the matter
and report. They called at al
attorneys Office and there digni
fed lawyer, whom they calico
"Judge," said there was no sucl
Act, but he took the second though,
and said to be certain he would lool
the matter up. 10 his surprise he
found the statute there as wa.
announced in the convention. 1t i.

Against Joint Debates.

Some Of our exchanges arc suggesting
that the two United States Senators meet
in joint debate. We do not believe that
tho suggestion will bo acted upon, and
we hope for tho sake of dcccncy and the
bcst interests of society that no such
meetings will disturb the peace and
dignity of the State. 1t would decide
nothing. Tillman's friends woudnot be
convinced by arguments, nor would the
lattor's followers be won over to 1illman,
and each would bo moro embittercd to.
ward tho other. Those who have nc
partiality for either would view the con.
test with the Same interest they would n
prize fight, and it would be just about
as dcmoralizing in its effects. in fact, il
would not be debate at all, but q con
test in vitnperaton, and wo have had
too much of that already. If our Sona.
tors wish to mako spectacle of them
selves 10y throwing mud, the greater
the distance they arc apart the
better for the public. 1t will be far bet
ter sti II for each to discuss issues without
any reference to each othcr.-Chcstcl

He was also born in March, 1882,
nine months before his tranquil com

ten years after William III. Craw-
ford, who struck Calhuon down
with his one unparalyzed arm.
This houae at once destroys the
idea that he was very rich man.
lie had so little money of his own
that his brother worked his farm,
near Abbeville, to let him 90 to

cousin, Floride Calhoun, and she, it
is always stated, possessed this Fort
Hill place and the slaves.
THE CALHOUNS IN WASHINGTON.
Calhoun and his wife led out as
social forces at Washington. Part
of the time he lived in the large
linthicum mansion on Georgetown
Heights and his wife WAS quoted as
a woman of decision. If Webster,
with his great fees, and Clay, with
the manufacturers behind him, had
to borrow money, why was Calhoun,
who had no practice and was not
very intimate with anybody, above
the thought of money!

THE HOME GOLD CURE.
Ingenious Treatment by which Drunk
ards are Being Cured Daily in Spite of
Thcmselvcs-No Noxious Doses-No
Weakening of the Nervcs-A Pleasant
and Positive euro for Liquor Habit.

1t is now generally known and under
stood that drunkenness is disease and
not weakness. A body filed with poison
and norves completely shattered by pori-
odical or constant use of Intoxicating
liquors, requires an antidotc capable Of
ncntralizing and oradicating this poison
and destroying the craving for intoxi-
cants. Sufferers may now cure them
selves at home without publicity or loss
of time from business by the wonderful
"lIomc Gold Cure" which has been per-
fected after many years Of close study
and treatment of incbriatos. The faith
full use, according to directions, of this
wonderful discovery is positively guar
anteed to euro the most obstinate case,
no matter how hard drinker. Our rec.
ords show tho marvellous transformation
of thousands of drunkards into sober,
industrious and upright men.
Wives, euro your husbands! Children
euro your fathers! The remedy is in no
sense Il nostrum, but is a specific for this
disease only, and is SO skilfully devised
and prepared that it is thoroughly solu-
bic and pleasant to tho taste, so that it
can be given in a cup of tea or coffee
without tho knowledge of the person TAX
ing it. Thousands of drunkards have
cured themselves with this priceless rem.
cdy, and as many more have been cured
and made temperate mon by having tho
Cure administered by loving friends
and relatives without their knowledge in
tea or coffee, and believe to- day that they
discontinued drinking Of their own free
will. DO not wait DO not be de!udcd
by apparent and misleading Improve

and for all time. The "IIomc Gold Cure"
is sold at the extremely low price of one

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion Of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infamed condition Of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When then this tube gets infamed
YOU have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's nor
NAL condition, hearing will be des-
troyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth

hurled themselves upon the Presi,
dents assassin. In a twinkling he
was borne to the ground, his weapon
was wrested from his grasp and
strong arms pinioned him down.
Then the multitude which thronged
the edifce began to come to a real
izing sense of the swfulness OF the
scene of which they had been unwll-
ling witnesses.
The Presidents assailant in the
meantime had been hustled to the
rear of the building by exposition
guards where he was held while the
building was cleared and later be
was turned over to Superintendent
Bull, of tie Buffalo police depart
ment, who took the prisoner to No.
Is police station end afterward to
police headquarters.
In a few minutes the crowd had
grown from tens to hundreds and
these in turn quickly swelled to
thousands until the street was CON-
pletely blocked with mass Of hu-
manity. Il was at this juncture that
some one raised the cry OF Lynch
Him." like fash the cry was taken
up and the whole crowd, as if ign'ted
by the single match thus applied,
re-echoed the cry, Lynch bin" !"
"Hang him. p closer the crowd surg
ed forward. Denser the crowd be-
came as new arrivals swelled each
moment the swaying multitude.
The situation was becoming critical
when suddenly the big doors were
flung open and squad of reserves
arrived with solid front, drove the
crowd back from the curb, then
across the street and then gradually
succeeded in dispensing them from
about the entrance to the station.
By this there was probably $4,000
people assembled in the vicinity OF
Pearl, Seneca, Erie streets and the
terrace. The crowd was so great
that it became necessary to rope CIT
the entire street in front of police
headquarters and at a late hour
tonight the police were still patroll-
irg in the streets in the neighborhood
in squads of three or four.
LEON czoLGosz HIS REAL NAME
Buffalo, Sept. 6.-The police have
lust learned that the real name OF
the would be assassin is Leon Czol-

came here from Cleveland.
