4 GREAT many remedies to
"a temporarily relieve catarrh
y have been devised from time to
time, such as sprays, snuffs, creams and
other local applications, but, as a rule,
the medical profession has little or no
enthusiasm in the treatment of catarrh.
It is generally pronounced by them
to be incurable.
It therefore created great sensa-
ton in medical circles when DR.. Hart
man announced that he had devised a
compound which would cure catarrh
permanently.
The remedy was named Peruna and
in short time became known to thou
sands of catarrh sufferers north, south,
east and west. =.
Letters testifying to the fact that Pc
runa is radical cure for catarrh began
to pour in from all directions.
Thousands of such letters are on file
in the office of The Peruna Medicine Co.
Rev. Z. Stubenvou, Pella, Wis.
writes: Il feel obliged to extend you
my personal thanks for my complete
restoration. All through the winter I
suffered from throat and lung trouble,
but recovered my entire health by the
use of your exec llent remedy. Peruna.'

To Prevent Called shoulders.

Called shoulders are very common
in the spring when the horses are
first put to work, and are easier pre-
vented than cured, especially if the
animal is kept at work. 1t is very
important to see that the collars and
harness fit properly; then the collars
should be kept clean; keeping the col
lars well oiled will be help. Wash
the shoulders at noon and night with
soft water after removing the har-
ness. When the teams are stopped
for rest in the field, pull the ccslars
away from the horses shoulders; in
this way gals may generally be pre-
vented.-Midland Farmer.

This final table gives key for a
systematic study Of crop fertilizers.
From same we can figure out about
what the analysis Of a fertilizer ought
to be for any given crop in general
cultivation, but it is a question how
many farmers will take the trouble
to do so, important though it is

MANAGEMENT Of Cream.

The management of the cream Is
the most particular of all the special
points in butter-making, both as re-
CARDS the quantity and the quality OF
the butter. Sweet cream makes less
butter, and that of a less pleasant fla
9or than soured cream. But II the sour
Ing is carried too far the flavor of the
butter is deteriorated, as the acidity
hastens the production of those vola-
tile acids which when in excess pro-
duce that condition which is known as
rancidity. It is to the very moderate
quantity Of these acids in the butter
that the pleasant nutty favor and Pc
culiarly agreeable odor Of good but
ter are due The proper condition Of
the cream is called ripeless. The RI
pening Of cream consists in the pro.
duction of a certainty of Tactic acid in
the milk, of which the larger part
from sixty to seventy-fve per cent
Of the cream consists. The quantity Of
acid in the cream should be no more
than is sufficient to give it mild,
pleasant-sour taste, and this may be
produced precisely by the following
methods with shallow or deep cold set
ting respectively.

The Bank Assigned.
Under Arrest.

At a meeting Of the board Of di-
rectors of the Farmers and Merchants
bank, Of Camden the following action
was taken: Having, with the aid Of
two able experts, examined all Of the
available records, books, papers and
accounts found in the bank vault, the
result of which satisfies the board
that the assets and securities Of the
bank are sufficient eventually to meet
all it's legal obligations and to pay all
depCsitors and other creditors, but in
view of the serious interruptions caus-
ed to it's business by the calamity
which has occurred, the lack at present
of an available person willing to as
sumo the duties Of president and in
the further condition which exists
that some time will be necessary to
convert the assets into cash, we do
hereby resolve and determine for the
best interest of all creditors under the
circumstances to make an assignment
of all the property, securities and
credits of the bank to E. S. FauH and
4. D. Kennedy to be administered for
the equal benefit Of all creditors, ac-
cording to law" This resolution was
signed by the entire board of direct
ors and the deed of assignment eXcut-

DR. JUDsoN's SPLENDID GIFT.
OfTwenty Thousand Dollars to Fur
man University.

Furman university Friday received
the largest gift ever made by one in
dividual during the half century Of its
existence under the present name in
Greenville. DR.. Chas. Fl. JudSon has
donated $4,000 to the endowment
fund upon condition that the present
movement is successful whereby $780,
900 is to be secured for this fund by
Dec. /, 1903, and that SIS, 900 in addi-
tion be obtained upon like conditions
so that the sum total will reach $780,
00).
The friends of Furman are jubilant
over this generous gift and every one
feels assured that tie action Of DR..
Judson will secure the remainder Of
the 100000 within the time limit
and that the 5,00o additional will
also be obtained in due time as an
nounced in The State few days ago.
1t is expected that $4,000 will be in
hand Saturday night, which will leave
only $4,000 more to be made certain
in the next 10 days, which will cause
great rejoicing throughout the State
and beyond it's limits.
DR.. Judson became connected with
with Furman university more than so
years ago and has filled the chair of
mathematics ever since. In the last
few months he has been serving as
emeritus professor without salary and
now he has crowned his long connec-
tion with the Institution by this sup
erb gift in the nick of time. He is 81
years Of age and is in excellent health,
quite robust for one at his advanced
time of life. His gift is the largest
ever made to a Baptist shool IN South
Carolina by any single individual and
perhaps the largest made to denom-
national college in this vicinity since
Benz. Wooford founded the inStitu-
tion bearing his name. J. A. H.

Colonel Inman remembered that t.
next morning the detail charged with
the duty of hanging the spy went to
the tent, and when the sentry entered
it was found that there was nobody
inside.
Aoout ten years afterward Colonel
Inman was in San Francisco on busi-
ness connected with his profession.
While there he chanced to meet a Mr..
Hamilton, with whom he became ac-
quainted. Hamilton one day men
toned that be was in the Confederate
army, and the relation Of war expert
enceS began. It came out that the
Mr.. Hamilton was the Captain Ham
ilton that had been ordered to hang.
There were questions from Colonel
Inman, of course, and the story of the
escape of the young soldier was
BROUGHT out.

Slouch hat pulled down over his eyes.
He recognized General General Grant.
The story does not go into details
as to the conversation which ensued.
The result was that the condemned
spy, after there had been exacted a
promise that be would never again
assume the part which had so nearly
cost him his life, was given the coun-

pass the sentries Then the man in
the slouch bat went away.

thing, and before the sun was set was
in the Confederate lines.-New York

a MEAN THIEF.
Frank Jones, a White Man, is a
Boarding House Robber.

Boarding House Robber.
The State says frequent depreda'
tions have been made Of late Or
boarding houses in Columbia. The
burglaries are of two classes, money
alone seems to be the object Of so me
operators and clothes and valuable
household effects of the others. The
clothes thief is generally supposed tt
be a negro, but recent development:
disclose the information that one
white man at least is so low and de-
graded as to be in this class.
Frank Jones is the name he gave
when arrested, and he claims that Ra'
leigh: n. c., is bis native city. Jones
is a tall, clean-shaven young man and
gives his age at % years. After he
was overwhelmed with proof Jones
confessed to a number Of depreda-
tions on residences in the city and
told police authorities where some OF
the goods could be found.
The manner in which Jones con-
Quoted his scheme was not in the
least dramatic. He never climbed
the clinging ivy, nor did the moon
pour it's silvery rays upon the rogue.s
unhallowed head as he risked life or
limb to enter the window in the sec
ond OF third story; nor did be open
locks With the use of skeleton key,
nor with a diamond remove window
pane and enter sleeping apartments
with the stealth Of cat. He did
none of these things, for this moral
runt is without courage, and has nc
higher conception Of the rogue's pro-
fession than to go from one board
ing house to another, obtaining board
and lodging and decampiug during
the first night with the clothes Of his
roommate.
Special Officer Strickland and
Tbackham, with the assistance Of
Policeman Broom, made study of
Jones' methods of disposing Of the
stolen goods, and when they were IN a
position to recover practically all the
swag they closed in on Frank Jones,
whose aliases are legion, and now the
confessed clothes-rogue lies in jail in
default of bond awaiting trial at the
spring term Of general sessions court.
The night Jones spent in Mrs Faulk;s
boarding house, corner OF Lady and
Assembly streets, he carried away Mr..
W. W. Fogel's best suit Of clothes.
Jones was wearing the trousers when
arrested. At Mrs. ". I. McDonnald'S,
a suit of clothes, overcoat, a pair OF
shoes were stolen FROM Mr.. W. 3.
Huey. Jones also was successful the
night he applied for lodging at the
Mccullough house on Geryais street,
and it is said that he got three pairs
Of pants and coat from a man by
the name of Rice. There happened
to be only small sums Of money in the
clothing appropriated by the rogue;
at nc time did be get over s5 in this
manner.

4 STORY OF TEE WAR.
why an Execution Ordered by Gen,
Grant Did Not Occur.


Col. George Innan, Il civil engineer,
who was an engineer in the Union
army with Grant in front of Peters
burg in 1S64-'65, as colonel Of engi.
neers, now engaged on some public
work near Richmond, told this story
Of U. S. Grant to group Of Confeder'

Gently.
In the winter of 1864 Captain
Hamilton, Of the Confederate army,
was captured within the Federal
lines, and there we're found on his
person papers which clearly indicated
that he had penetrated the lines for
the purpose Of gaining information
for General Lee. He was courtmar-
tailed and was 1T once condemned to
be hanged at sunrise the next day.
Colonel Hamilton, who was in COM
mand of a cavalry regiment, under
General Grant, was charged with the
duty Of furnishing the detail which
was to execute the sentence OF the
court.
The night of the day on which the
court pronounced the sentence on Cap
tain Hamilton. Colonel Inman went
to General Grants tent to see him
on a matter connected with the opera
tions against the Confederates. He
had been in the tent for some time
when the orderly announced, Colo

The colonel YVES silent. He stood
with barred head, dropped on his
bosom. General Grant again asked
him why he refused to obey his order,
and this time there was sharpness
in his tone which was not there be-
fore. Colonel Hamilton raised his
head and looked the. commander
in-chief full in the face.
General, that man is nay only son."
General Grant looked bis officer in
the face for moment. Then he
turned his back. The colonel re-

harsh voice:

4 NOTABLE INCIDENT.

One Of the most notable incidents
recorded in this book is an lnterF!e"
which occurred between Gen. Lee and
Gen. Jackson. at the inception OF Une
Confederate movement against Gen.
IIookers army at Charlottesville. 1t
is evident that Gen. Lee, although
Conmander-in-Chie was willing to
change his plans at Jachson's sugges
tion, whereas another incident, to be
mentioned presently, shows that
Jackson having made up his mind,
could not be moved to reconsidera-
tion. AS the fight at Charlottesville
was about to begin Jackson rode up
to the Confederate commander, and
said to him: Gen. Lee, this is not
the best way to move on Hooker" ;"
Well. Gen. Jackson" was the reply,
you must remember that l am COM
PEELED to depend to some extent upon
information furnished me by others,
especially by the engineers, as to the
topography, the distractions, etc.,
and these engineers are OF the opin-
ion that this is a very good way OF
approach" Your engineers are mis-
taken, SIR" said Jackson. What do
you know about it, Gen. Jackson?
You have not had time to examine
the situation But I have, sir"
was the rejoinder. Il have ridden
over the whole field" 1t seems that
he had, Then, what is to be done,
Cen. Jackson?" Take the route you
yourself at first suggested: move on
the flank-move on the flank. " Then
you will at once make the movement,
sir" said Lee.
Jackson, on the other hand, had en-
tire faith in his own judgment when
once made up. He would formulate
a judgment, risk his last man on it's
correctness and deliver the blow while
others were hesitating and debating
as TO it's wisdom and safety. This
trait was strikingly exhibited in our
authors presence at Malvern Hill.
Our author was sitting on his horse
facing Gen. Jackson, and receiving in
Structions from him, when Major
Gen. Whiting, himself an officer Of
high capacity, rode up in great haste
and interrupted Jackson as he was
giving Gordon a message to Gen. Hill.
With some agitation Whiting said:
''Gen. Jackson, I find, sir, that can
not accomplish what you have direct
ed unless you send me some additional
infantry and another battery" and be
then proceeded to give the reasons
why the order could not be executed
with the forces 1T his disposal. All
this time, Whiting explained
Land argued, Jackson sat on his horse
like stone statue. He looked neither
to the right nor to the left. He
made no comment and asked no ques-
tionS: but when Whiting had finished
Jackson turned his flashing eyes upon
him and used these words, and only
these: II have told you what l
wanted done, Gen. Whiting" There
upon, planting his spurs in bis horses
sides, he dashed away at a furious
speed to another position. Whit
ing gazed at Jackson's disappearing
figure in amazement, if not in anger,
and then rode back to bis command.
Gen. Gordon points out that the re-
suit attested the accuracy Of Jack
sous judgment, for Whiting did &C
complish precisely what Jackson in
tended, and be did it with the force
which Jackson had placed in bis
| hands.
