The Beauty and Grandeur Of Nature, as
Viewed by a Low.Couniryman.

>Walhalla, August 24.--Editors Keowee
Courier: Leaving my home, in the
quiet village of McClellanville, on the
sea coast of our grand old common
wealth, to take advantage of the rates
given over the railroads for the excur-
sion of the 10th, arrived in your pic
tnresque town on the afternoon of that
date, and it struck me that few lines
from one not accustomed to looking on
the mountains would not be out of
place.
Whenever come in contact with the
beauties and grandure of nature, l am
transported in thought Immediately to
natures God. The mountains and the
sea, think, are His greatest works.
When man treads the level earth and
comes across small pond of water his
thoughts rise no higher than that pond
or level ground; but when he views the
sea, with wave following wave, beating
majestically on the shore, and the noun
tains, each one of which seems to vie
with it's neighbor in lifting it's head
skyward, in worship of the hand that
made them-then it is that man wonders
and concludes that the hand that made
them is divine.
The first time that 1 assembled the
light house tower Of Cape Roman,
the farthest land east of our State, stu
ated six miles from my home, and looked
out from that height on 80 miles of
old ocean, and noted that, however high
the waves were, when they struck the
beach, they came to naught-the pas
sage in Holy Writ came to me, "Thus
far shalt thou come and no further and
here shall your proud waves be stayed"
On looking out this morning on the
Blue Ridge that half encircles your town,
and seeing the mist-like smoke ascending
from many points, it looked as if the
days of sacrifice had returned, and
smoke assembled from many altars; and
the Scripture came into my mind, 'T
will look unto the hills from whence
cometh my help; my help cometh from
God who made heaven and earth," or to
come back to this works day world, was
that smoke ascending from those little
establishments that we have read SO
much of. bnt have never seen, where
fire water, mountain dew or moonshine
stuff is made?
What great pity that that fratraci-
dial strife put an end to the great under
taking of crossing or going under this
grand mountain chain, and linking
Charleston with the West After riding
over portion of the grading, it seems
suicidal for Charleston, and others that
are interested, not to carry to finish
the work done so long ago. Some of
the embankments are in perfect state
of preservation, one being used as n
wagon road. 1 am informed that the
link to be built is only twenty-seven
miles, and three-fourths of this is
graded. So let railroad men and capital
lists look into this, and see that the
nam M 9th coal fields of East Tennessee
have an outlet this way. Your town
would be built up by it, and this whole
section of the State would be bennefited
and Charleston would have return
cargoes for her ships.

Secretary Wilson's Reply
Secretary Wilson, of the depart
ment. of agriculture, to-day gave a
Star reporter statement in reply to
the criticism of ex-senator Butler,
of South Carolina, published in the
New York Sun this morning. Sena-
tor Buffers remarks had reference to
Secretary Wilson's interview on the
cotton corner, printed last week in
The Evening Star. In his rejoinder
to-day Secretary Wilson said:
"l have read ex-senator Buffers
criticism on my interview regarding
the corner in cotton, and its effects
upon the country generally and the
cotton growing and manufacturing
industries particularly.

he. speaks will see to it that these
prices continue until the cotton
grower sells the coming crop. II

trip to South Carolina, find Gen.
Butler, if he should be there, take
off my hat to him and say to him
that | regard him as a great public
benefacter who has been able to see
further ahead into the future than
we poor fellows of the department
of agriculture.
"But if, on the other hand, it
should occur that the price of cotton
is dropped when the farmer gets
ready to market his new crop, down
to 8 cents or 7 cents, instead of Is
or IL, then, of course, 1 shall still
adhere to my opinion that the ma
nipulation of the present cotton
corner by the gamblers of whom /
spoke is doing infinite mischief"

The approach of Yuletide was appro-

frolicked around a massive electric
lighted and toy-laden Christmas tree,
and. together with members of the

part in the seasonable festivities ana

interesting but was in every sense
unique.

Advises Supervisors Not to Contribute
to Expenses of Suit Against Sacra-
mento County.
City Attorney Lane has advised the
local Board of Supervisors to inform
the Sacramento Board of Supervisors
that he will assist in defense Of an ac-
ton brought by De Camp & Mosher on
an alleged infringement of letters
patent in the use of crude petroleum
oil in the construction of roadways.
Lane doubts the wisdom of making
financial contribution for the employ
ment of special counsel, inasmuch as
it would establish a precedent that
other counties would follow.
THE city would find itself embar-
rassed," says Lane in his opinion, by
frequent requests for such financial
assistance from the various counties
of the State. This city has defended
a large number of cases which the
other political subdivisions of the
State were interested in and have
prof1ted by-notably, for instance, the
litigation growing out of the taxation
of national bank stock-but it has
sought no assistance from other cities
and counties. 1 further question the
power of the Board of Supervisors to
appropriate any money for the con-
duct of litigation to which this city is
not a party"

ADVERTISEMENTS.
THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is
i'm Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient dis
infectant and purifier in nature but few
realize its value when taken into the
human system for the same cleansing
purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal and other harmless an
tiseptics in tablet form or rather in the
form of large, pleasant tasting lozen-
ges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condition
of the general health, better complex
ion, sweeter breath and purer blood.
and the beauty of it is that no possible
harm can result from their continued
use, but, on the contrary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician. in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal says: Il advise
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all pa
tients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels and to clear the complexion
and purify the breath, mouth and
throat; also believe the liver is greatly
benefited by the daily use of them:
they cost but twenty-five cents box at
drug stores, and although in some sense
a patent preparation. yet believe L get
more and better charcoal in Stuart's
Absorbent Lozenges than in any of the
ordinary charcoal tablets"
