In discussing The benefits Of naVi-
CATION on the CoDgaree the Chamber
of Commerce OF Columbia recently
have about concluded that when the
water connection is assured lower
freight rates will be secured and
goods, etc, may be shipped to Col
umbia direct from northern ports
and distributed there.
The Chamber of Commerce real.
izing that something must be done,
and done quickly, has been in cor
respondence with the owners OF sew
eral river steamers, such as must be
used on the Congaree. Three def.
mite propositions have been picked
from among large number, and it
is practically certain thas a choice
will be made from one of these. The
river is now in good shape for navi-
CATION as can be seen by the last re-
port made by the government engi-
neere. and any boats of light draught
can make the trip. It is, the pur-
pose of the Chamber, if possible, to
have steamer running by February
18th of this year."

The Beech Island Farmers Club,
of Barnwell county, in recent meet
ing endorsed a proposition to go be-
fore the Legislature and advocate the
manufacture Of fertilizers by the
State and to have same controlled
pretty much as the liquor business.
It will be rememb bered that Hon. E..
L. Asbill advocated a similar scheme
in campaign in this county and
made the effort in the House, but
the idea did not seem 80 be popular
at that time.

just word about the matter OF
slecting another Dlspenssry Com
missioner. Hon. 81. 81. Crum, who
has been at the head Of the liquor
department of our State for several
terms past has decided not to offer
for re election again, notwithstand.
ing the fact that great pressure is
bang brought to bear to Influence
him to accept the place for one more
term. Mr. Crum has given immi-
nept satisfaction and We cannot find
his superior in the State. He is a
thorough business man, and has the
confidence and esteem of the people
throughout the State. We shall be
sorry to see him retire, if indeed he
will.
Among those who are promi-
nently spoken of in connection with
She place for another term are Rep
resentstive Tatum, from our sister
county, Orapgeburg, aud Capt. W.
D Black, head book-keeper at the
pspitensiary. Either of these gen.
tlemen would, no doubt, do we'll at
the head of the dispepssry sff.irs.
Mr.. Tatum has for years been a
sery able representative from Or
sngeburg oouoty, aud while in the
Legislature be has been q valuable
member of the lower house. His
record there is an enviable one. He
is man whose judgment and busi-
ness ability are sound. Just the
kind Of man to rely on when We come
- deal with plain, common sense
business propositions. He has been
successful with his own business
'sfairs, and that, in our opinion, is
the kind of man to handle other
peoples business.
Capt. Black, too. would make US
q safe man. he is clean in his deal
ings with other people, and is q man
of high integrity. Hs has been an
active legislator and his services in
that body we're highly appreciated
by his associate members. We shall
watch with q great deal of interest
shs result of this election and We
might say, with great deal of
pleasure, because we expect from the
material now in the field that We will
have q worthy successor of Mr..
Crum should his friends decide to
allow him to retire.

she would have been dead only for
these wonderful remedies.
About the same time I wrote you
about my own case of catarrh, which
had been Of % years standing. At
times I was almost past going
