the Greenville Mountaineer, is indeed a
loss to South Carolina journalism. AS a
bold advocate If the right in all things,

Confederacy, he bore the scars of battle
and held the love and esteem of thou

zeal fought in the ranks Of the Christian

Things About Tugaloo.

Tugaloo, May 30.-We were favored
with nice shower last night, and it looks
this morning as if we would have more
to-day. We hope it will come for good
ground-soaker would benefit things
much.
The Sunday school convention, which
convened with South Union church last
Friday and adjourned yesterday, was a
perfect success in every particular. To
say it was harmonious meeting, would
be putting it too mildly. 1t was more of a
love feast Everybody seemed in love
with his brother, and really some or
many of the young men appeared TO be
in love with his brother and his brothers s
sister, There were many fine addresses
made on the question. before the con
vention. The one made by our quasi
Senator deserves special mention. 1t
was just full to the brim with truths,
good, practical, common sense and help
full suggestions. We heard many remark
that it was the best address of the con-
vention. We also heard it remarked
that Bro. Joe Shelor was like canned
good or cold souse-always ready for
use. We heard but praise for the
was the best and most successful
convention ever held; but it is lit
tie wonder at it's being such a great
success, being presided over by such a
man as our genial, efficient Clerk of
Court, g. X. ID. Burns. He made such a
fine presiding officer and handsome ap-
pearance that we heard it remarked that
he (the one talking) would like to see
him in Roosevelt's place.
We in this immediate section are to be
congratulated. We certainly have got
good roads. We hereby apologize to the
Supervisor and all concerned for what we
have heretofore said concerning the
roads. We heard some parties complain
ing of bad roads yesterday. We told
them to just let patience possess their
souls and trust in the Lord, Supervisor
McAlister and Road Master Joe Kelley,
and ali will be WE'LL They are working
the roads as well as it is possible to work
them. There can be no better road mas
ter than our old friend Joe Kelley. What
he don't know about having the roads
worked has been torn out of the books.
From appearances Sunday afternoon
wedding bells won't riug-they will
chime all over the county quito soon.

Triumphs of Modern Suruerv.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished and
put back, or they may be removed en-
tirely; bones are spliced; pipes take the
place of diseased sections of veins; anti
septic dressings are applied to wounds,
bruises, burns and like injuries before
inflammation sets in, which causes them
to heal without maturation and in one
third of the time required by the old
treatment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm
acts on this same principle. 1t is an an
tiseptic and when applied to such in
juries, causes them to heal very quickly.
1t also allays the pain and soreness.
Keep bottle of Pain Balm in your homo
and it will save you time and money, not
to mention the Inconvenience and suffer
ing which such injuries entail. For sale

Senator Quay Is Dead.

Matthew Stanley Quay, senior United
States Senator from Pennsylvania, died
at his home in Beaver, Pa, last Saturday,
after an illness of several weeks, aged
II years. Senator Quay dominated the
Republican machine in Pennsylvania to
q degree seldom attained by any man in
any State. He was one of the foremost
men of the day, but he owed his promi-
nence more to his success in the field of
practical politics than to his qualities of
statesmanship. Senator Quay was a
native of Pennsylvania. He attained the
rank of colonel in the Civil war. He was
a member of the Pennsylvania Legisla-
ture from 1854 to 1866; Secretary of State
from 1878 to 1878 and from 1870 to 1888,
and State Treasurer in 1885. He was
elected to the United States Senate in
1887 and has held his seat ever since.
