A rich soil is one of the essentials to
success. No matter what the extent of
the lawn, it should be evenly moist and
we'll drained The general slope should
be awav from the residence on all sides.
Seeding the lawn yields better results
than sodding. Kentucky bluegrass is
the most satisfactory known seed for the
majority of locations, but in the South,
Bermuda grass, st. Lucia and Texas blue
grass are extensively employed. April
IS good time in the North, to SOW, be-
fore the usual light showers. The ground
should be raked as nearly perfect as posi-
BILE before sowing. Best results are OBJ
tanned by sowing thickly. Four bushels
to the acre is the usual allowance, but in
small plots double the proportion may be
used to advantage. After sowing work
seed into the soil with rake. No clipp-
ing should be done till the grass is above
three inches in height, and it should be
kept at about this height during the first
Summer. Avoid clipping at all soon be-
fore frost is expected,-From The Delin-
Gator for March.

Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is to-
ward preventive measures. The best
thought of the worldi is being given to the
subject. 1t is easier and better to prevent
than to cure. 1t has been fully demon
strated that pneumonia, one of the most
dangerous diseases that medical men have
to contend with, can be prevented by the
use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from cold or
from an attack of influenza (grip), and it
has been observed that this remedy count
eracts any tendency of these diseases to-
ward pneumonia. This has been fully
proven in many thousands of cases in
which this remedy has been used during
the great prevalence of colds and grip in
recent years, and can be relied npon with
implicit confidence. Pneumonia often
results from slight cold when no danger
is apprehended until it is suddenly dis.
covered that there is fever and difficulty
in breathing and pains in the chest, then
it is announced that the patient has pneu-
monia. Be on the safe side and take
Chamberlain Cough Remedy as soon as
the cold is contracted. 1t always cures.

Punkin Ridge.

A good story is told of one Of the cam
paigns of Charles W. Thompson, new
congressman from Alabama. He was
travelling on train one day toward
town where he was to speak that evening,
and met his Populist rival, who was also
on Il stumping tour. They had such an
animated discussion that when Thomp-
son reached his destination he had to
make a hurried exit from the train. He
caught up what he thought was his
travelling bag. He did not hnow of the
error he had made until in the midst of
his meeting that evening he received a
telegram from the Populist, which was
as follows: "Got wrong bag on train.
Contains plug tobacco, bottle whiskey,
six-shooter, and speeches of VIM. j..
Bryan. Is it yours?' The reply sent
was: Il, too, have wrong bag. Contains,
bale of hay, treatise on dynamite. and
copy of If Christ came to Congress- is
it yours?"

Rescued from Suffering
and Death by
PAINE'S
Celery Compound
THE GREAT r1EDICINE.
THE GREAT r1EDICINE.
Mr.. ALFRED BROWN,
A Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says:
After the Use of Paine's Celery Compound,
| Am Now In the Best of HEALTH"

The greatest of modern physicians, Prof.
Edward Z. Phelps, M. D., LII. D., after years
If long practice and close scientific study, gave
suffering and diseased men and women his
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that it had
peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure.
Thousands of the strongest testimonials from
he best known and most reliable men and
women of our country fully sustain the claims
made by DIR. Phelps regarding his incompar-
able Paine's Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs furnished.
comes recently from a gentleman widely
Known in the capital city of the Dominion OF
Canada. We refer to Mr.. Alfred Brown, 81
0'Connor St., Ottawa, Ont. Mr.. Browns
etter fully demonstrates the fact that the
greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden
If disease and become well, strong, and happy.
1t proves, too, that the great medicine main
aims more fully than ever before its unrivaled
place in the estimation of people of wealth
and social standing as we'll as with the masses.
Mr.. Brown says
81 acknowledge with thankfulness and
pleasure the fact that have been cured of a
very painful illness of eight years standing by
use of Paine's Celery Compound. had,
during the years of my illness, tried almost all
the advertised medicines without deriving any
good results. was also treated by several OF
the best doctors of this city, hoping to find
that one of them, at least, would understand
my case.
"I was getting worse, and was told was
incurable. I was indeed in critical condi-
ton. I could not 60 nom the house alone,
as was liable to sudden collapse. I tried
hospital treatment, but no relief or good results
came to me. could not sleep; anything that
ate increased my agonies; I.was extremely
weak, restless, tired, and despondent; was
obliged 10 walk about with my hands pressed
firmly into my left side to ease my pains; my
feet and hands were cold continually; had
inclination to vomit, had profuse, cold sweats,
quick breathing, and would be racked with
pain for hours at time.
"After the regular use of Paine's Celery
Compound for time, am now in the best OF
health, have good appetite, and can use any
Kind of food. Thank God I am my old self
once more, all through the use of Paine's
Celery Compound"

A newspaper in Ohio recently brought
suit against forty-three men who would

Judgment in each case for the amount of
each claim. Of these, % made affidavit
that they owned no more than the law

Then, under the decision of the supreme

Misleading Statements.

A writer in last weeks Dorchester
Eagle has the following to say in refer
ence to recent homicide in Bamberg:
"Mr. Editor, did you know that our
governor had offered a big round hun
dred dollars reward for the apprehension
of Tom Pearlstine? 1t is certainly a
great inducement to effect his capture. 1t
is lamentable fact that Bamberg has
added more to the list of murderers than
any little town in the State, and not one
of the murderers have been convicted. II
Creech had gone to Pearlstine's home and
shot him down the probability is that
Creech would have been lynched or put
in Jail san ceremonie Because Pearlstine
is rich and Creech is poor no one seems
to care anything about it, and if Pearls
tine is ever tried in the courts he will be
acquitted, because human life is cheap
and of little value, when compared with
dollars and cents The trend of events
i'm the progressive march of the twentieth
century fully demonstrates the fact that
poverty is the worst of crimes. The rich
man of to-day is crushing the poor man
to death because he is poor"
We would not notice the above, for we
do not desire controversy, but there are
some misstatements in the article, which,
in justice to the good name of this county
and its people, should be corrected.
The statement that "Bamberg has added
more to the list of murderers than any
little town in the State, and not one OF
the murderers have been convicted" is a
serious error, and statement so far
reaching in effect that the correspondent
should have, in justice to our people, in
formed himself about before publishing
it. 1t is lamentably true that murders
have been committed in Bamberg county,
as we'll as in other parts of the State, but
the proportion is not greater than in
other sections, and our court records
show that some have been convicted.
Some have escaped justice, more's the
pity, but that not one has been convicted
is decidedly wrong.
Neither would Creech have been
lynched if the case had been reversed, as
the correspondent would insinuate.
Pearlstine is not rich man, either, nor
is his family here very we'll off financially.
This newspaper does not condone
crime, and Bamberg's record is black
enough without being added 10. But it is
no worse than that of other parts of South
Carolina.
Wetrust that the Eagles correspondent
will hereafter take the trouble to inform
himself as to the facts when writing
about Bamberg

We are giving the Legislature consider
able advice these days. 1t doesn't cost
anything, and the members are entirely
welcome. They will find that some OF it
is good, too, when they go before the
people for reelection two years hence.
Believing as we do that the creation OF
two more judicial circuits is useless ex-
pense, We trust that the bill now before
the legislature will not pass. We do not
think the present judges are over worked,
and to increase expenses at this time,
when the finances of the State are in such
depleted condition, is not warranted by
circumstances.
The ways and means committee of the
house of representatives acted wisely in
making an unfavorable report on the bill
to appropriate $4,000 for State exhibit
at the St. Louis Exposition. South Caro-
lima has no money to spend on Exposi-
tions just now. 1t is likely that taxes
will have to be increased to meet the
current expenses of the State govern
ment.

A serious mistake will be made by the
general assembly if the bill increasing g
scholarships in Winthrop College from
$44 to 800 year finally becomes law.
As general thing the parties getting
these scholarships are able to pay their
way, and putting the provision that they
must be unable to attend college will
amount to naught. One good feature of
the bill is that preventing more than one
scholarship going to one family. This
should stand, and the scholarships put
back to the original amount, 81.
~
We trust if the opportunity again pre-,
sents itself that our representatives in
the general assembly will vote for the
bill giving magistrates jurisdiction in
cases of larceny from the field, for We
believe the farmers of this section want
the law changed. AS it now stands, these
cases must be tried in the Circuit Court
and it is often inconvenient to drive
many miles to attend court, as we'll as
getting together the witnesses. Then
too, it is often the case that farmer has
to stay in town several days waiting on
rne-sase to be called. If magistrates are
given the Power to try these cases the
business of Circuit Courts will be lessened
and much money saved.
