Congratulations.

Mr.. John H. Culom, Editor Of the
Garland, Texas, News, has written a
letter OF congratulations to the manu-
tacturers of Chamberlain Cough Rem
edy as follows: "Sixteen years ago
when our first child was baby he was
subject to croupy spells and we would
be very uneasy, about him. We began
using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in
1881, and finding it such reliable rem
eedy for colds and Group, we have never
been without it in the house since that
time. We have five children and have
given it to all of them with good results.
One good feature Of this remedy is that
1t is not disagreeable to take and our
babies really like it. Another is that
it is not dangerous, and there is no risk
from giving an overdose. l congratu-
late you upon the success of your rem
edy.' For sale by Smith Drug Co,

THE STATE DISPENSARY.
Last Report OF the Old Board of Directors
Has Been Made to Governor
Hayward.

The old board Of directors of the
State dispensary, consisting of
Chairman L. J. Williams, H. H.
Evans and Willie Jones, made their
last annual report to Governor
Hayward, which is as follows:
To His Excellency, D. c. Hey-
ward, Governor Of South Carolina:
We have the honor to submit here
with a statement of the business
done by the State and county dis
pensaries during the fiscal year
year ending November SO, 1903.
BY referring to the several state
ments attached hereto you will find
that the total cost Of liquors. wines,
beer, etc, for the year has been
,997,559.47, and that the total
sales exclusive Of fresh becr) have
been S2,SI7,99S.77.
The net earnings for account Of
tho school fund for the fiscal year,
which have been placed to it's credit
amount to SI26, 266 The net
profits that have accrued to and
equally divided between the counties
and towns amount to $512, ,2I6.3
Grand total of earnings for the year
tor school fund and counties and
towns, $63S, ,4S2. IS: increase over
earnings Of last year, $7I,5S4 OF.
Two years ago the school fund
amounted to $o1I,354 3S, and the
Act Of February 26, 1902, requires
us to reduce this sum to $500, 900,
and within a few days we will have
met this requirement. AS we said
in our last report, $500, 900 is an
insufficient amount to conduct the
business Of the dispensary on a cash
basis.
III conclusion, we are gratified to
say that the business of the dis
pensary has been conducted with
harmony and SUCCESS in all it's de-
partments, and while the volume of
business has increased, we attribute
it to more rigid enforcement of
the law rather than to an increased
consumption of liquors.
Respectfully submitted L. T.
Williams, Chairman, II. II. Evans,
Willie Jones, State Board of Direc-
tors.

A Detectives Wonderful
 Display of Shrewdness

<HE shrewd detective looked over 0 carefully.
 1This is the third time you have been robbed?" he said inquirfng- ly.
 "Yes," replied the woman.
 ''And this room is the one that has been most disturbed?'
 Yes"
 The shrewd detective examined a comb that lay on the bureau.
 'Is there any one here with red hair?" he asked.
 "No."
 "Haw he cried. IA clewi She could not resist the temptation to arrange her hair.'
 "she! Who?"
 "The burglar. It is a woman, which simplifles matters very much. She has red hair'' He sank into an armchair and rested his throbbing temple on his hand. The throb was due to great mental activity. He could not think clearly without throbs ''The ordinary police method" he said at last, would be to put out the dragnet and arrest every red haired woman in town and indict the one who had just combed her hair, but that is unsatisfactory to a great detective. I prefer to be subtle. Have you full length nnirrorY' ittYas." M x '.And a folding glass that enables you to see your head from three sides at once?''
 "Yes."
 'And some costly millineryT
 ''Yes"
 ttAnd ball gown?''
 'Yes."
 Bring them all to mel"
 Wondering, she obeyed, and he ar- ranged them all to his satisfaction. "What next?" she asked.
 Leave them all here tonight he instructed. ''and come up any time to- morrow You will find the woman still here. But do not send for your hus- band, for she may be trying on the gown
 What wonderful manp' she ex- claimed.
 Nothing wonderful about it." he re- turned. T am merely married man who is reasonably observing"
 Investigation the next day revealed a note which read, T have taken -ile gown home to try 1t on.''
 1T told you it was womanr clfed the detective jubilantly.

gard, almost the ghost of his former self, he told me this story:
 s'In moving his. hands restlessIy one day, or it might have been night for all he could tell in the darkness of his tomb.like cell, his fingers touched pin on the lapel of his coat and it fell on the floor. He stopped to pick it up, and it seemea as if for awhile his thoughts were distracted from himself Then it occurred to, him that this simple pin was a godsend. It would prove a diver sion and perhaps save him from mad ness. Again and again he would throw the little pin down and then go on his knees and grope about. 1t might be for more than an hour at a time he played thus ill the Stygian blackness of the living tomb. The act of throwing 1t away followed often by prolonged search, the intense anxiety for fear he might not find it, took his mind com pletely off himself and his desperate situation. 1t was a latter cay and, of course, very Lnpoetical and unbeautiful version of La Picciola, but it saved my dear husbands reason. and would sooner part with my diamonds or any jewel have than this little, unconscious messenger of mercy, little, insignifi- cant, common looking pin. Do you wonder at mel" Then, with an arch smile, she said: There must be some thing interesting about t@e pin, for you have never asked me what ground these officers had for arresting my husband. In nutshell the real nurdarer's nic- ture was enough like him to convince them that they had found the real crim- inal. C'eSt toutt''

 But the marquis was making q tour or the works with the commander in chief and cculd not be found.

THE STORY OF A PIN.
TT SAVED INNOCENT PRISONER
 IN ITALY.
He Would Drop It and Then Hunt for <. the Little Thing for Hours, Thus Divertirg His Mind from
 His Misfortune.

From Boston gentleman comes the
 story o2 an unusual experience, which owes much of it's charm to the fact that i it is literally true. A few years ago this
 mar met in Boston lady, and he ob- seEved that while otherwise dressed
 beautifully, she always wore brooch, peculiar, because, while it was encircled with handsome diamonds, the center was a common dressing pin covered with glass. On her most elegant toilets and they were many--this pin was bold ly in evidence among pearls, diamonds, emeralds or whatever jewels the caprice of the wearer suggested.
 As the man and woman became friends he remarked that his attention had been attracted to her by this queer
 brooch, with its strange center, and
 asked if there was not some history
 connected with 1t. =
 She replied: You are right, there Is.
 This common little pin is very sacred
 to me, and for that reason had these fine Jewels put around it and always wear it.
 My husband and were travelling in Italy, gay, light-hearted, without care in the world, when, not very far from Rome, some geEda1mes approached and without warning arrested him, saying: You are the man who committed this murder, and you are our prisoner Nothing but these few words!
 Imagine my anguish and despair
 when saw him shackled and led away
 to be incarcerated in dungeon in
 Egyptian darkness and perpetual si- lencc.
 "I summoned up all my courage and lost no time in seeking the American consul, as well as every other man from America whose voice could be
 heard in my behalf. After almost super
 human efforts they secured his release When he returned to me, pale and hag-

the soldiers reached the back or me house.
 This shut out the last of the moon- light, and the room became a black darkness. Outside was a deadened clamor, curses and shouts to fetch ships lanterns and search the empty quarters for an ax. Anne could hear Armand's s convulsive breathing.
 She had groped her way to the side board and opened It's candle drawer. A tiny half inch end rewarded her. Flint and steel still hung in their accustomed place. She struck them and ligbted the wick with trembling hands.
 As she did so heavy body came lner hnng aof se r sss ou of wes the sel,' panted voice.
 Armand answered loudly eff do will you promise to let the lady goT'
 ttNo, mol" Anne besought in an agony. "You shall not give yourself up to them! They would not hold to such a promise."
 With her cry, however, whirled. a scramble of curses. "We'll lay you by the heels and take the girl back, too. curse you!" Aud rain of blows de- scended cn :he door, while crash against one of the blinds shook the wall.
 Leap.ng back, Armand dragged out the heavy mahogany aideboard, now slashed and dented, and set it against one door. The other he re-enforced with the overturned table and bound thfa to its nIacn win tha +1Uiate6 win dow curtains. Last, he wrenched an sron from the fireplace and stood wait ing. At the same moment the candle end collapsed, the wick dropped, flick cred and went out, and darkness fell around them again.

-He did not reply, but led the way to . path which zig3agged down the bluff 10 the river. 1t was the spot where they had first met. Then the long stretch had bristled with shipping; how the wharfs had heen pulled up to build rat routed lean-tos, the bank was hollowed with dugout shelters From the shells, wherein wounded sol Hiers played at cards by new lit can nles, and the waters edge was jum- ble of ownerless barges and periaugers hnd tohubohu of shouts and wran- Elings. Along the line of craft where the tide scum shuddered in with spran- Eles of seaweed and chunks of wreck hge, sentries patrolled ccaselessly with keen outlook for river deserters.
 Armand chose narrow skiff, found two oars for it and placed her fn the stern as lieutenant examined their pass. Then, with a strong shove. he sent tue boat darting out on to the broad, smooth, unrippling current.
 It had scarce drawn well away when . figure blundered down the bank.
 "Cal that boat in," he cried, 'or have the sentries fire on it! That mans name is Armand. He is an es- gaping prisoner"
 .Oh, no, Captain Jarrat," returned the lieutenant composedly "You have the name all right, but he had a pass signed by Lieutenant Colonel Dundas. ! know the signature well enough. This siege routine is playing the devil with your nerves, captain"
 "A pass!'' shouted Jarrat frantically. sBy the ghost!' and went up the bank bn g run.
 Colonel Dundas was gone from the barrack, and Jarrat could no more get speech with Cornwallis than could Anne half hour before. But the con Terence at headquarters ended while Uarrat waited, and the earl came out tn no pretty humor. As luck would have it, Colonel Dundas was with him.
 There followed an interesting scene, which left Lord Cornwallis in nastier mood than ever.
 "She fooled Tarleton once" he swore. Now 'tis you, Dundas. From under your very nose, too!y
