the stomach is out of order. There
is no remedy in the world equal to

Caution!

This is not a gentle word-but
when you think how liable you are
not to purchase the only remedy
universally known and remedy that
has had the largest sale of any medi-
cine in the world since 1868 for cure
and treatment of Consumption and
Throat and Lung troubles without
losing it's great popularity all these
years, you will be thankful We called
your attention to Boschee's German
Syrup. There are so many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists
and others that are cheap and good
for light colds perhaps, but for severe
Coughs, Bronchitis, Croup-and es-
pecially for Consumption, where there
is difficult expectoration and cough
ing the nights and mornings, there
is nothing like German Syrup. The
rs cents size has just been introduced
this year. Regular size IS cents.
At all druggists.

Josh Billings on Marriage.

By awl means, Joe, get married. if
YOU hev q fair show. Don't star d
sbivering on the bank, but pitch RI o
in and stick your head under and
shiver it out. Thar siu't any more
trick in getting married than thar il
N eating peanuts Many man has
stood shivering on the shore until the
river has run clean out. Don't *
pect to marry an angel; they beV
been pick d up long er go. Remam
Der, Joe, you amt saint yourself.
Do not marry for beauty exclusively;
beauty is like ice, swfully slippery
and tbaws dreadfully easy. Don't
marry for luv, neither; luv is like a
cooking stove, good fer nothing when
the fuel is out. But let the mixture
be some beau y. becomingly dressed,
with about $3.50 in her pocket, a
good speller, handy and neat in her
house, plenty of good sense, tuff con-
slitution and by-laWs, small feet, q
high inster; add to this eound teeth
and warm heart. The mixture will
not evsporate. Don't marry for
pedigree, unless it's backed by bank
notes. a family with nothing but
pedigree generally lacks sense.

and enthusiastic afternoon neigbbor
across the Congaree has to say:
The putting on of the "Washing-
ton A. Clark" to carry cotton good
from Columbia to Charleston is bu
the first step in plan about to be
put through which will make Colum-
bia the receiver of all cotton goods
shipped North via Charleston, and
also establish connection by electric
roads with all the principal mill towns
in the upper part OF the State.
Il was learned Wednesday from a
leading fnancier of this city that
the move originated with Charleston
b,nkers, who desire to restore
Cnarleston's prestige as a port, and
who saw in the river navigation be-
tween Columbia and Georgetown tn
chance to do this by an expenditure of
thousands of dollars.
As soon SO the plans are pefected
an electric road will be built between
Columbia and Winnsboro. From
there the road will be extended to
Union and from Union on up into
Spsrtanburg, the heart of the mill
section Of this State. The road will
be under the control Of the same
capitalists who are back of the plan
to secure all freight shipments North
by way of Charleston, and who are
interested in navigation between Co.
lumbia and Georgetown.
From Columbia to Winnsboro a
straight line can easily be built, as
there are no rivers to cross and the
distance is only about thirty-fVe
miles. A straight line between Winns
boro and Union would be about 80
miles, and between Uoion and Spar
tanburg only about 27 miles. The
plan calls for large sum of money,
but the men back of it believe that it
will pay and they have accordingly
made preparations for carryingit out.
Aside from the tremendous adyant
age this would give Charleston over
other points that now receive these
shipments, Columbia would gain con-
siderably as result of the drop in the
freight rates the railroads would
have to make to meet this, and be.
cause of the fact that all freight
would have to be unloaded here for
shipment BY water.
It can be stated that this is not
merely speculation on the part Of the
inauciers, but an actual plan that
will be carried through, and was
learned from the best authority.

The Silent Woman.

There are women who are witty,
There are women who are pretty;
There are women who will always
have their way,
There are women who are sainted,
There are women who are painted.
But Of all the latter, be careful
what you say.
There are women who are healthy,
There are women who are wealthy,
There are women who are worth
their weight in gold,.
There are women who are truthful,
There are women who are outhfnl,
Did you ever see q woman who
was old?
There are women who are slender,
There are women who are tender,
There are women who are large
and fat and red;
There are women who have mar
ried,
There are women who have tsrried,
There are women who are silent
they are dead.

Robbed The Grave.

A startling incident is narrated by
John Oliver of Philadelphia, as fol-
lows: II was in an awful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes
sunken, tongue coated, pain continu-
ally in back and sides, no appetite,
growing weaker day by day. Three
physicians had given me up. Then
I was advised to use Electric Bitters;
to my great JOY, the FIRST bottle made
a decided improvement. I continued
their use for three weeks, and am
now we'll man. I know they rob-
bed the grave of another victim"
No one should fail to try them. Only

10 Launch Hearst Boom?

Des Moinea, Iowa, April 2.-Oon-
siderable political significance is be-
lieved to attach to the Thomas
jefferson Day banquet to be given
In this city tonight. The announce
ment that William r. Hearst is to
have q place of honor at the festival
board is taken as an indication that
the Hearst presidential boom, which
has been steadily nursed for some
time through the medium of GEN.
tral literary bureau at Washington,
is about to be publicly launched.
William j. Bryan is also to be pres
ent and is expected to further explain
his plans to hold the silver forces to-
gether. So far as state politics is
concerned the banquet is intended to
eountersct the influence of the Jack
son day banquet at Waterloo last
January, in which former Governor
Boies was the central figure and in
which MIR. Bryan and his platform
we're ignored by all the speakers.

Engagement Rings.

The custom of giving engagement
rings ranks back to long before the
Christian era. With the ancient
Egyptians engagement rings were
always Of iron, to indicate the mutual
sacrifice of liberty of the contracting
parties.
One of the very earliest sdorn-
ments of betrothal rings was load
stone, which symbolized the attrac-
tive force which drew maiden from
her own family circle into that of her
husband. It is believed that the
fourth finger has always been the
brides ring ipger.

Unconstitutional Exemption.

The people of Horny are stirred
up almost to white heat over the
proposition to fence the stock of the
county instead of the crops. If We
are not mistaken Horny is the only
county in the State where what is
commonly known as the "no fence
law" is not operative. The 'Indepen-
dent Republic" bears this distinction
at least. We are not in the least in
terest one way or the other in the
agitation which is now going on in
our sister county, yet We are unwilling
to let the opportunity 60 by without
expressing the firm conviction that
under the Interpretation of the Con-
stitution of 1865, delivered by the
Supreme Court in every cause with
which it has had to pass upon, either
the stock law is unconstitutional in
that it does not apply with the same
effect to every county of the State,
or that portion of the law which ex-
empts Horny from tie provisions of
the law is 30 because the exemption
is in direct conflict with sub division
XII of section 81, article iii of the Con-
stitution, which prohibits special
legislation.

A Log Rolls Over a White Man and
1t is Doubtful That He VIII

At an early hour this. morning
while merge and white man, the
latter named Allen whose home is in
North Carolina, were rolling log up
to the saw at the Morriston mill in this
county, preparatory to having it sawed
into lumber, the negro by some means
let his end slip when the log rolled
back and passed over the body of Mr..
Allen, very badly crushing his breast,
bowels and other parts of his body.
He was attended by DR.. e. Dill of
this city who pronounces his injury
serious and scarcely thinks he can re-
cover. He will be brought TO this
city this evening, if he can stand the
trip, and put in the infrmary where
he can receive the proper medical at
tention.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, April 25.-The question of
negro education, which has been
made the principal issue of the cam
paign for governor, is getting con-
siderably mixed, and much ado is
now being made over a statement
attributed to Hon. A. +. Fox, one of
the principal candidates for gov
ernor, that the plan to divide the
school fund between the races is q
thing possible to do under the state
constitution. This is only a partial
statement of Mr.. FOX's views. He
has said that it would be possible to
divide the fund, but not under the
