THE day was when men Of promi'
Il ncnce hesitated to give their testi'
monials to proprietary medicines fol
publication. This remains true today
of most proprietary medicines. But
Peruna has become so justly famous, its
merits are known to so many people OF
high and low stations, that no one hes
itates to see his name in print recon-
mending Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna strong endorsement.
Men representing all classes and sta
tions are equally represented.
A dignified representative Of the Pres.
byterian church in the person of Rev.
E. G. Smith does not hesitate to state
publicly that he has used Peruna in his
family and found it cured when other
remedies failed. In this statement the
Rev. Smith is supported by an elder in
his church.
Rev. E. G. Smith, pastor of the Presby-
terian church of Greensboro, Ga, writes {:
"Having used Peruna in my family
for some time it gives me pleasure to
testify to its true worth.
"My little boy seven years of age had
been suffering for some time with ca
tarrh of the lower bowels. Other rene
dies had failed, but after taking two
bottles Of Peruna the trouble almost en-

The committee of the City Coun-
Gil of Columbia, to whom was re-
ferred the petition of the Lexington
and Columbia Electric Railway ask
ing for franchises through certain
streets of that city, has reported
favorably and the matter will come
up for final action at the meeting OF
the City Council next Tuesday night.
The proposition has met with some
opposition from parties interested in
the street railway, but we are salts
fed that the business men of Colum-
bia are decidedly in favor of the
enterprise, and are in favor of giving
it all the encouragement they can and
the granting of any reasonable fran
chise through the city consistent
with business principles. They re-
cognize the advantages to Columbia
to be derived from the building of
this road to and beyond Lexington,
and we are confident that after
mature consideration, the City Coun-
Gil will grant The petition and that
their action will be sustained by
the business interests of Columbis.

The agony is over and the die has
been cast. On January 5th Presi
dent Roosevelt made the announce
ment that he had appointed j. D.
Adams, of LaureDs county, to be
United States Marshal and DR.. W.
D. Crum, colored, of Charleston to be
Collector of the port of Charleston.
This is poor Crum for the proud
old city by the sea. She has made
agallsnt but ipefectusl fight to keep
negro out of her Custom House,
and in his appointment Charleston's
marine interest has received a direct
blow.
The appointment of Crum should
teach some of the old time leaders of
the Democratic party wholesome
lesson. John L McLaurin made a
commepdable and, as far ss be went,
q successful effort to have the Fede
raj Offices filed by decent and compe-
tent white men. He gained the esrs
and confidence of President Roose,

names recommended by Senator Nc
Laurin and for time the prospects
were exceedingly bright for the ion.

enemies of progress began to trs-
duce and slsnder the Senator, charg-
ing him with Republication, his
motives were impugn and bribery
and corruption were even hinted at
he was bounded from one end Of the
State to another. To encompass bis
defeat and keep him from going be-
fore the people to vindicate himself,
free speech was stified, and freedom
of thought and action were denied
and he was driven out of the party,
and b good Office is no longer preg
nans with wholesome advice and good
results. Under these circumstances
the white people of the State have no
good grounds to grumble at Presi-
dent Roosevelt's appointments. He
has held out the olive branch and we
have dashed it to the ground and
tramped it under our feet. He
showed q disposition to appoint
honest and competent white men to
Office and we have charged him with
bribing men with Office to strengthen
the Republican party. Should
negro be placed in every Federal
Office in the State, from the Judges
down to the Janitors of the public

complain. We can only grin and
bear it. He, and not us, is respon-
sible for the administration of the
affairs of government, and therefore,
We will have nothing to do with him."

To the Editor of the Dispatch:

On the evening Of December 81,
one of the prettiest weddings of the
season took place at the home of Mr..
A. D. Shull, when his charming
daughter, Miss May, was married to
Mr.. Henry Buff of this county. The
ceremony was beautifully performed
Rev. J. A. Cromer, in the presence of
large circle of friends and relatives
who had gathered there to witness
the nuptials of these two popular
persons.
The bride was handsomely robed
in a cream Henrietta trimmed with
satin and ribbon.
After the marriage sumptuous
supper was served, followed by dane
ing in which a large number of
friends participated.
The bride is one OF Brookland's =

great favorite, while the groom is one
of the Hebron sections most popular

when his covered spring delivery ar
rives he will introduce a convenient
means of delivery which will open
the eyes of his competitors in order
to keep in pace with the progress
that this city is making.
Daniels & Carter, who conduct one
of the leading barber shops here,
have recently put in a very handsome
barber front which adds considerably
to the looks of the interior.

in possession of more facts before
