One of the most notable events of
the recent state convention of United
Confederate Veterans at Columbia, s.
c., was the address of welcome deliver
ed at the opening session in Columbia
theater by Miss Elizabeth Lumpkin q
Georgia girl, but now a resident of
Columbia. The theater was packed
with an audience of not less than 1000
people, largely old soldiers, aud on the
stage were such famous soldiers as
Generals Wade Hampton and John b.
Gordon. After several other speeches
had been made Miss Lumpkin, young
woman dressed in white and with roses
In her hair, was introduced as "a Geor-
gia girl now living here, who would
welcome the visitors to her adopted
home"
The Grafton which followed took the
house by storm An eyewitness relates
that the chief justice of South Carolina,
who was present, sat with tears
streaming down his face during the pa
thetic parts of the address. Il cannot
thank you enough for coming, you
Georgians," said Miss Lumpkin at one
point In her speech. "They call me Il
Georgia cracker but little do they
know how proud l am of the title.
Give me a horse and the knowledge
that l am a Georgia cracker and III
ride the world down for YOU The
south has long been noted as the home
of great orators, but until now all such
have been members of the sterner sex.
In Miss Lumpkin, however, there is an
instance of a daughter of the south
who seems as richly endowed with the
oratorical gift as any of the sons have
ever been.-Lesle's Weekly.

A Kipling Story.

The London Sun ha. this amusing Kip
ling story: "When Mr.. Kiping lived at
Vermont, United States of America, he
decided to put check on his household
expenses, aud Tor that purpose opened a
small account at local bank and paid
every bill with check, Some OF the checks
wer4 as small as Is cents, aud the shrewd
Ia k tes soon found that they could get
more Tor the check, from autograph COL
ctors than irom.the bar cashiers And
Mr. h,phng could not imagine how it was
that his bank account at the end of the
month showed b gger balance than the
countertoHs nt his check book. until he
found one OF his checks framed and hang
ing IN an enthusiastic col ector's offic~. :"
Had the writer of the above been entirely
familiar with the facts. doubtless he would
have told how Mr. KipEng's Brattleboro
NAL, burdened with persistent appeal, for
bis autograph, was finally made to con-
tribute handsome prof to charity. The
pressure OF these application. became so
great that Mr.. Kiping determined to turn
them to some profit, hence be prepared a
circular letter, which was sent to all would
be collectors, suggesting that remittance
OF 70 cents would be necessary to obtain
he authors autograph. The responses
wers numerous, and the money thus Sc
cured was given to an orphan asy Inn and
70 other institutions of charity. To Mrs
h'pling was a'.inged the pleasant duty Of
drawing all chez k, with which to pay bills

That is what you should breathe
Throughout your mouth.
But there may be times when your
catarrh is so bad you can't breathe
through it.
Breathing through the mouth is al
ways bad for TIE lungs, and it is es-
pecially so when their delicate tissues
have been weakened by the scrofuIous
condition OF the blood on which catarrh
depends.
Alfred E. Yingse, IIoernerstown, Pa,
suffered from caJarrh for years. His
head felt bad there was a ringing IN his
ears, and he could not breathe through
one of his nostrils nor clear his head.
After trying several catarrh specifics
from which he derived no benefit, he
was completely cured, according to bis
own statement, by
Ho0GS'S Sss2s"sesEoag"iESa
This great medicine radically and per-
manently cures catarrh by cleansing the
blood and building up the whole system.
