FLORENCE, S. O., Fov. PC. 1900.


I was first advised by our family
physician in Charleston to use
TEETHINA with our baby when he
was very young infant, as pre-
ventive of collie and to warm and
sweeten the stomach. Later it was
useful in teething troubles, and its
effect has been found to be so very
beneficial and so free from the dangers
that are consequent upon the use o
drugs and soothing syrups, that we
have come to regard it, after use with
three children, as one Of the necessi-
ties when there is new baby in the
house and until the teething troubles
are over, and we take pleasure in rec
ommending it to our friends instead
of the horrid stuff that so many peo-
pie use to keep their babies quiet.

AFTER THE JOINTISTS
Kansas Officers are Making it Hot
For Them.

Harper, Kansas, May 18.-A turn
in the tide OF affairs which means a
victory for law enforcement occurred
here this week, when 5. f. Cole, one
of the leading business men of this
city, who has heretofore always ad-
vocated the license system, came out
boldly and declared his intention to
close the joiuts. He notified the men
to close and then proceeded at once to
the county seat to carry into effect
his determination.

STATES. BACK TAXES.
Delinquent List Smaller Than Ever
in its History.

Topeka, Kansas, May 10, 49, The
amount OF delinquent taxes due
the state from various counties was
never smaller than it is at present.
John Dawson, bond clerk in the State
Treasurer's office, has prepared a
statement showing that the amount of
taxes now due the state from thirty
eight counties, many of which have
not made payments for ten years, is
ga, ll.74. The average amount of
taxes collected by the state from the
counties every year is about two mil
lion dollars and this is the first time
in the history Of the state that the
amount has been so near paid up
This fact is accounted for on the
ground that the counties are in a bet
ter condition financially than they
have ever been since the finances of
the state became of any Importance.

DID NOT HAZE HIM.
A Good Story in the College Life of
Bishop Cheshire.
Baltimore Sun.)


Major William NJ Pegram, of Balti-
more, tells a good story illustrating
how the nerve developed in the Civil
War enabled young Southerner to
defy hszers in Northern college.
The young soldier was Joseph b.
Cheshire, now Protestant Episcopal
Bishop of North Carolina. At the
close of the war. in which he served
with distinguished gallantry, lie was
but II years old. Deciding to enter
the ministry, he went to Trinity Col
lege, Hartford, Conn, taking with
him his well-worn gray overcoat and
army revolver.
While alone in his room at the col
lege one evening, not long after his
arrival, Mr.. Cheshire received an un-
usual number Of visitors. One by
one students dropped in until nearly
a score was in his room. He OWNED
their purpose, but received them
courteously. Finally one remarked:
Il suppose you know what we have
come for?" At the same time he
locked the door and put the key in
his pocket. While this was going on
Mr.. Cheshire had backed quietly to
his desk. Raising his revolver, he
gave the command with military
terseness: unlock the door, file
out one by one'' The young men
seeing the STRIPPING student suddenly
transformed into the trained soldier,
knew there was nothing to do bu,
obey the man they had come to
humiliate. As the last one left Mr..
Cheshire said politely: Il hope you
have had pleasant evening, gentle
men. Call again.
No further attempt was made tc

durham Herald, April 10th }

Colonel A. Hatchett was moved
from the Jail TO the county home for
the aged and intirm Monday morning,
and there he will probably spend the
remainder Of his days unless his
friends and old comrades in arms
take it upon thsmsslve. to provide
him better home. 1t marks the
passing of brilliant mind. He de-
served better fate.
For the last few days it was thought
that Colonel Hatchett WAS some bet
ter and hope was expressed by those
who visited him that he would re-
the time he recognized his friends
and spoke to them of his condition.
At other times. however, he was ir-
rational and wandered in his talk.
He repeated again and again tho
troubles Of hi. past life and imagined
that he was being bounded down by 4
crowd of people who wished to ruin
his character and do him personal
in Jury. Then the scene would shift
and he would plunge into the stirring
scenes Of battle strife. He fought
again the bloody conflicts OF 81 and
90. The excitement WAS genuine
Ii" MAS in actual battle. During one
OF these moments he spru.g to his
feet and shouted: My God, are you
going TO let the Yankees march
through Petersburg without offering
resistance?" Then be collapsed and
was as helpless as babe, muttering
to himself and looking into the faces
of those around him with an express
sion Of appeal and utter hslplessness
in his eyes.
Colonel Hatchstt deserves a better

days of his life in an aims house. He
is of good family, had a brilliant
mind, was an educated, scholarly gem

While for some time he had been in 4
bad way, financially, he had seen bet

by every luxury and moving in the

lies. He WAS educated at Randolph

Then came the great struggle between
the States and, like many other great
and noble families Of this Southland,
Colonel Hatchett and his people lost
all. save honor. The subject Of this
sketch left home at the first call for
troops and for four years he was with
those who fought for cause they
loved better than life
Since the war Colonel Hatchett has
been connected with some OF the best
papers South and was recognized as .
brilliant writer-hi. pen being always
ready for use in defense Of the weak
and helpless. Hi, one great failing in
life ha, been his pessimism. He was
a pcssimist Of the kind that makes
people desperate and his gloomy vie"

the cause of his present condition.

(WiImington Messenger.)

The South did finely in the past,
year. 1t built fifty-one knitting mills,
fourteen woolen mills. 1t built many
cotton mills, but we do not recall the
number. North Carolina alone char
tered in that year seventy-three tex
tile mills companies. How much
were completed we are not advised.
The Messenger has before expressed
the opinion that is held by the unin-
formed in the North as to the pro-
portion of men Of that section build
ing the cotton and other mills in the
South. That there will be more of
these there is no doubt, for the tex
tile mills in the South for years have
made more money in proportion to
investments than New England mills
have earned. 1t is fact that up to
1900 the per centage of Northern in
vestments in North Carolina was but
8 per cent. 1t is said to have in
creased last year to Is per cent. 1t
is not above 20 per cent. in any State
in the South. In all there are be-
tween 700 and 800 cotton factories
in Southland. There is progress,
and people at home are willing and
anxious to invest in textile mills, but
the present conditions of cotton and
prices Of the manufactured fabrics
are not so encouraging as they were
in the last four years. The product
from the staple and goods made from
it for 1900 is placed at 1888, 100000,
and possibly y the figures are not in
excess. Now the South grows &c per
cent. OF all the cotton consumed in
the world. 1t is steadily advancing
in the manufacture ofthe great staple,
and at present the amount OF bales
used at home is put at 1900, 900.
Our own State has now enough mills
probably to consume all the cotton
produced within its borders The
possibilities lying in the great staple
| cotton, for the South are tremendous.
The augury is tlattering, and unless
| a commercial panic comes within a
few years the growth of manufactures
and the cotton production promise
great results for the people in this
great section.
The cotton, woolen and other
mills, help greatly, for they give en-
ployment to labor, and while building
new and important industries, they
build up villages and towns. There
are many illustrations to be found in
North Carolina. While manufacture
ing in the North is vast, it is perhaps
not the best thing for farms decay,
as in New England, that mills may
multiply aud manufacturing become
the one powerful enterprise of an in
telligent people. The great pro-
ductiveness in Massachusetts i.

turn to very primitive diet 1t is

CAUSE FOR UNIVERSAL REGRET.

The argus is OF the opinion that the
warfare now being waged on each
other by some of the leading news
papers OF the State is generally re-
GREETED by all friends Of the respec-
tive papers engaged therein and OF
their accomplished editors.
Newspapers, aside from being mere
purvevors Of the news of the day, are
supposed to be intended to enlighten
the public conscience, and to mould
public sentiment. How can they ex-
pect to perform these exalted and del
icate duties, if, by persistent vilifica-
ton and abuse OF each other, they
lose the esteem and confidence OF
their readers?
Whatever may be the mission OF
any one OF these newspapers, it is
well known that they are each and
every one of them edited by gentle
men OF culture. and who have the
personal respect and confidence Of the
people or the State; and it passes our
comprehension to figure out how
either Of them is to gain honor. re-
ward or reputation by calling the
others reprehensible names, or how
their readers and the public are to be
benefited.
A we'll known gentleman, friend
to all Of them, remarked with refer
ence to this unseemly controversy,
Il am tired. Give us rest and we
believe he voices the best sentiment,
If not almost the universal sentiment,
of the State.
Each Of these papers has said it,
say; has expressed it's indifference tc
the opinions and statements of the
others; and can withdraw from the
conflict at this stage with as much
honor and glory as at any other
period; and let us hope that these
gentlemen, instead of wasting al
their powers on each other, will turr
their splendid endowmeats to build
ing up the industries Of, and te
broadening and bettering public
thought in, their native State.
The Argus does not write this il
any spirit of criticism, for we believe
that all the warning editors are ou1
such; and what we have here writer
is done in tho spirit of sincere coun
sci, and for the purpose, as we have
said, OF saving them from themselves
and turning their splendid talents ant
untiring energies to the material ant
intellectual and moral upbuilding o
the people of North Carolina.-Golds 8
