Many Good Things In 0conee.
Last Saturday afternoon The Courier
force were agreeably surprised when q
dusky descendant of Ham stepped into
the Office and, with broad grin, gently
deposited on the floor brown Jug OF
goodly proportions. Accompanying this
gift was the following note:
Editors Courier: 1 notice In last
weeks Courier your invitation to all
your friends to call on you dur
ing Court week, and assuring them
not only of hearty welcome
but calling their attention to the
fact that not only the old Courier, but
even the water in the Office, was the best
in the county. This all, from an expe-
rience of over thirty-five years, know
to be true, but am reminded Of the fact
that there are many other good things
still in our old county-one of which /
present to The Courier force with my best
wishes, viz, a gallon of pure unadulter-
ated grape juice, raised and manufac-
tured by myself, with the admonition of
that good man of old, take little wine
for thy stomach's sake.
"Yours truly,
&c. K. Maxwell"
1t is needless for US to say that we,
too, knew there are many other good
things in the county--nor is it necessary
for us to say that we endorse lIr. Max
wells judgment in his selection of one
these good things. 1t is fit to serve to
kings-yet none too good for printers,
for whom there is nothing too good,
either in the heavens above or in the
earth beneath. Thanks--and remember
that one good turn deserves another.

Dr.. Mark L. Carlisle.

Rev. Mark l.. Carlisle, ID. D., pastor of
the Washington Street M Methodist church,
Colombia, S. c., is in Walhalla this week
t. .he delight of his many friends. He
preached by. appointment at Clemson
College on last Sunday morning. His
able discourse made profound impress
sion on the students and others present.
Being 80 near Walhalla, whero he spent
three years of his early ministry so
pleasantly, he could not forbear the
temptation to visit his many friends
here and see the progress made in our
mountain city. 1t has been over thirteen
years since our good brother left us to
preach and work In other fields in our
State. 1t was q real pleasure to meet and
converse with our friend of other days.
He is the same pleasant, jovial, good
hearted, happy fellow that he was in the
years gone by. He is one of the most
popular and successful preachers in the
South Carolina Conference, filling some
of its most important stations. May
Brother Mark Carlisle live many years
to go in and out among the people,
preaching, in his forceful and eloquent
manner, the Gospel to dying men and
women.

Relics OF the Red Men,

Last Saturday w. II. Bearden, of Oak
way, called at The Courier office and ex-
hibited one of the largest Indian arrow
heads we have ever seen. 1t measures
u inches in length and 80 inches in
breadth at the broadcast part, tapering to
something approaching sharp point.
These large arrows were shot by the red
men years ago from stationary bows and
were used in case of war at fortified
points, bearing about the same relation
to the common arrow that the cannon
bears to the military gun of the white
mae. Mr.. Bearden saw the blue flint
point sticking out of the ground near his
home, and on pulling the arrow head out
discovered nine in all, stacked one on
top of the other. They had evidently
been buried there by Indians years ago.
These heads would call for an arrow
about five feet in length.

Mysterious London Trandoor

London Mail: Upper Baker street
mas got a mystery. A discovery has
peen made In the ruins OF the house
Of the famous Sarah Sidons which
II Is thought, may lead to the disclosure
OF a subterranean passage from a re-
mote cellar of the great actresses house
to a destination unknown.
In the course of the demolition of ths
building, in connection with the Rake1.
street and Waterloo railway operations
an iron %trapdoor was found In the
basement. A few blows Of e sledge
hammer smashed 1t, revealing a njt
about 3 by 2 feet, resembling q man
hole to q sewer.
The pit is brick lined and iron hand
holds are fixed In the walls. The denth
is probably twelve to fourteen feet. but
no n has as yet ventured down. IN
V~estfgattons are to be resumed In about
a week.
The startling part of the discovery
Is that Baker street has ALWAYS se6n-
iously nursed a tradition that there ex-
ISIS a subterranean passage from Mrs,
Slddons house to one of the houses on
poslte. The story runs that George ".
Whlle prince regent, used to pay sur
reptlous visits to the mysterious "housa
opposite by means of an underground
tunnel.
1t must be borne in mind, however
hat when Mrs. Siddons took the lease
of the house in upper Baker street
she was siXty-tWo and the prince re-
gent, flfty-fve,
incidentally, it Is curious to recall
mat illusions to a supposed subter-
fahean passage In Baker street were

After suffering for sixteen years
with Rheumatism and using numerous
medicines for rheumatism and more
medicines prescribed by doctors, l at
last tried Dodd's Kidney Pills with the
result that l got more benefit from
them than all the others put together.
'Dodd's Kidney Pills were the only
thing to give me relief. and 1 recon-
mend them to all suffering from Acute

rheumatism is caused by Uric Acid
