Climatic Cures.

The influence of climatic conditions In
the cure of consumption is very much
overdrawn. The poor patient, and the
rich patient, too, can do much better at
home by proper attention to food diges-
tion, and a regular use of German Syrup.
Free expectoration in the morning is
made certain by German Syrup, so Is a
gooe nights rest and tho absence of that
weakening cough and debiitating night
sweat. Restless nights and the exhaus-
tion due to coughing, the greatest danger
and dread of the consumptive, can be
prevented or stopped by taking German
Syrup literally and regularly. Should
you be able to go to a warmer cline, you
will find that of the thousands of con
sumptives there, the few who are bene-
use German Syrup. Trial bottles, 25c;
regular size, 75c. j. II. Darby, Walhalla,

THE Baltimore Manufacturers Record
of last week was issued from Philadel
phia, owing to the destruction of the
Records plant in the big fire. While
the losses occasioned by this great con.
hagration have dwindled from an esti
mate of 100000, 900 to $70,OO0,0OO, it is
still to be reckoned among the greatest
fires of this country in monetary losses
The Record says: "The extent of the
fire is illustrated by thesimple statement
that sixty-seven printing houses were
swept away" Baltimore will rise from
the ashes larger and better city, and
the Manufacturers Record will resume
it's great industrial work for the South
with renewed zeal and energy.

"Pioneering in Central Africa" "a the
title OF book recently published by the
Presbyterisn Committee of Publication
OF Richmond, We. The author Ia Samuel
Phillips Werner, formerly u walhalla
boy, who removed from here to Coluu-
oia at the age Of twelve years, In 1887,
when his father, Hon. John S. Werner,
$, s..-:ed Comptroller General. IL is
marvellous that one 80 young could have
accomplished 80 much, for the autho,
his own experience and obser.
sation on his trip to and work In Congo
Free State as missionary.
The volume contains fiye hundred
pages, written in a lucid and entertaining
style OF narrative, enforcing the point
that I o Christian religion must be not
only one, but the foremost .orce in the
development of occidental civilization.
The future of Africa is big with promise
for rare achievements along all the lines
OF modern enterprise in trade, commerce,
mining, manufacture aud agriculture,
as well as evangelization. 1t awaits
only the presence of the Anglo. Saxon.
with an eye to business, to transform the
dark continent into land of >-.ightened
civilization. Fully Two thir of its vast
area is capable of support cthe most
complex civilization. He is found
anosher "ooer door" of OPT rtunity not
oniy ne African race, ut for the
peopie OF all nations to ito in the
glorious rk of uplifting humanit
ana placin it on higher want r,
ground than 'therto attained ir any
Cline. This nay be startling Is ate
mel to many, but after reading Mr..
Verner's faithful narrative, of what he
has seen and felt, no one can doubt the
limitless resources of this hitherto COM
paratively unknown region.
1t is within the last twenty-five years
that the attention of European nations
has been attracted, as never before, and
many trading posts have been estab.
lished, notably by the English, French,
Germans, Sweedes and Belgians. Steam
and electricity, with modern appliances,
are being utilized more and more, and
we may soon expect to see an enlightened
empire of teeming millions, where few
years ago tho geographers indicated on
their maps great desert, the habitat of
savages and wild beasts.
But in Gods own good time this vast
continent will DO made the abode of
civilized man, and it looks like that time
is now at hand When we looked into til @
fair face of little ''Phillips Werner" as
an urchin on our streets eighteen years
ago, who thought he would SO soon have
been ono of a heroic band of pioneers to
take his life in his and and penetrate
the very center of darkest corn,r of
the Dark Continen and given to the
world faithful [, iiption of the in
exhaustible resourc there abounding,
inviting alike the, remest efforts of
material aud spiritu.o warfare for its re-
deption and Development But so he has,
and his observant eye has found facile
pen to record the story of his adventures,
which we confess to have read with
deepest interest. The book ought to be
read by every one who feels the least in
terest in religion, trade or commerce, as
means of elevating humanity and
making the world better. 1t is bright
light, dispelling darkness so dense that
it can be felt.

Three Killed In Collision.

Florence, February 13.-In head-on
collision at Pee Dee, on the Atlantic
Coast Line, Engineer Bruce Taylor, his
colored fireman, and negro train hand
were killed. The wreck occurred on the
fill at the foot of the Whoa hill on Pee
Dee trestle. Train No. 10, in charge of
Engineer Mclaughlin, going to Fayette-
vile, and an extra freight from Whining
ton in charge of Engineer Bruce Taylor,
went together head"on at full speed.
The only reason assigned for the collision
is that the conductor of the extra train
overlooked the non arrival at Pee Dee of
No. 10. which was six hours late, anu
went ahead. The two engines and seve-
raj cars are pile of wrcckage and it will
take some time to clear the main line.
