Is indigestion a Disease. Z

The best medical authorities say that
indigestion is not always caused by a
diseased stomach, but may result from a
disordered liver, constipation, excite.
ment, etc. The cause is of little conse-
quence when Rydales Stomach Tablets
are taken, as they never fail to digest
the food, check fermentation, free the
stomach from irritating acids and an ex-
cess of gas. They relieve at once, belch-
ing, heartburn, sour stomach, fulness
after eating, etc. Rydales Stomach Tab
let's have specific tonic effect on the
stomach and organs of assimilation and
are guaranteed to cure the worst forms
of stomach trouble. j. III. Darby, Wal

Much has been said and written
recently looking to change in the
existing insurance laws, which, it is
claimed, will enable the companies
doing business in this State to make
q lower rate. While the rates
charged for fire insurance in South
Carolina are excessively high, yet,
according to an official statement
from Comptroller Jones, they are
lower than those of any other South
ern State, averaging only $1.29 per
hundred. The average of all classes
of risks may be low, but as a matter
of fact the rate is excessively high
on some classes of risks; for in
stance, S3.40 per hundred on mer-
chandise in Edgefield and 1896 on
brick buildings. Heaven pity those
who carry insurance in other States
if the rates charged in South Caro-
lima are considered low.-Edgefeld

Ruth Cleveland Dead.


Princeton, N. j., January g.
Ruth, the eldest daughter of ex-
President Cleveland, died suddenly
at their bone yesterday morning.
Mrs. Cleveland, who has been in
poor health, is prostrated by the be-
reavement of the death of her
daughter and her friends are alarmed.
Her daughters illness was not
thought to be serious. Mr.. Cleve-
land issued this statement: "After a
brief illness of tonsilitis, diphtheria
developed yesterday and Ruth died
early this morning" DR.. Wyckoff,
the attending physician, said that
Miss Cleveland had been ill with a
mild form of diphtheria for four
days and heart affection had not
been anticipated. She was fifteen
years old.

z Upon the slope Of hillfiye miles
from Louisville, KY, = little way of
the Brownsbcro road, start.s 4
massive stone tomb. Only occasion-
ally is passer-by attracted by Che
|aastere graadeur Of the sarcophagus
to draw nearer and REID upon the
slab over the entrance the name and
date:
2. TAYLOR,
Died 1860.
Yet here reposes Zachary Taylor,
"old Rough and Ready" twelfth
President of the United States, hero
of the Black Hawk and Florida
Indian wars, the man who, with
1000 soldiers, swept Santa Annals
1000 before him at Buena Vista and
conquered Mexico. For more than
half q century the tomb of General
Taylor has lacked the care of a
kindly hand. The ivy riots over the
weather beaten blocks of granite in
the spring and summer and almost
conceals the outline of the gray stone
tomb. The fasteDings on the iron
door are red with rust, and no key
has turned in the ponderous lock for
probably quarter of century.
A little to the east of the granite
vault stands the Taylor memorial
shaft of white marble. 1t, too, has
become discolored through the storm
and shine of half a century Sur
mounting the shaft is statue of
General Taylor leaning upon his
sword. The statue, too, is beginning
to disintegrate in spots. The inscrip.
tiop, which is growing illegible, con-
sists of General Taylor's last words:
81 have endeavored to do my duty.
/ am ready to die. My only regret
is for the friends / leave behind me :"
Visitors to the tomb of President
Taylor are rare. 1t is doubtful if
half dozen tourists stop during a
twelve month to stand beside the last
resting place of President of the
United States and soldier who
occupies conspicuous and picturesque
position in the nations history.
The old Taylor homestead, which
stands. not far from the tomb, is
furnished practically as it was during
General Taylor's last days of abode
therein. 1t is tenanted by strangers,
the last member of the Taylor family
having moved away some twenty
years ago.

Opening Gun Of The War.

Men of the old Eleventh army
corps, banded together as the
Eleventh Army Corps Association,
says The New York Sun of December
10th, camped last night at Martins
Tavern, at the junction of the
Twenty-sixth cross-road and the
Fifth avenue turnpike. Sitting
around the headquarters campfire
were Col. A. G. Hamlin, of Bangor,
Me-, president of the association !;
Gen. Charles HI. Grosvenor, of Ohio,
Gen. Carl Schurz, Gen. James Grant
Wilson, Gen. Horatio G. King, Col.
Chisoim, of South Carolina, and
Major j. M. Jewett, of Ohio.
Then Col. Hamlin introduced COL.
Chisolim, of South Carolina, who,
Col. Hamlin said, was the man who
fred the first shot on Fort Sumter.
Col. Chisolm got up and said that
was wrong, and told this about it:
GA man named James, who has
joined the majority, was the man
who did that job. For some time
before the outbreak of the civil war
| lived on Chisolm Island, in Charles
ton harbor. / used to shoot duck
and go fishing, and was good all
around waterfowl.
zone day Gen. Beauregard sent
for me and said that he wanted me
to help build Notifications for Charles
ton. l told him could catch fish
and shoot ducks, but l reckoned
didn't know much about fortifcation
building.
SWELL said the general, you just
got to do it any way"
$50 pitched in and did what l
could to build the Charleston fortifica-
ton. BY and by the time came
when it was necessary, 30 we thought,
to ask Major Anderson to surrender.
| knew the major very we'll, and lie
was one of the most lovable mon
ever met. Two othes officers and
myself were sent over to make the
suggestion to him.
"After keeping us waiting for
about two hours, at the end of which
we told him we couldn't wait any
longer, Anderson said he wouldn't
do any such thing daughter and
applause).
eve told him that we weren't
looking for any trouble, but, of
course, if he didn't know when he
was well off, why, we didn't suppose
we could convince him, and that
there would necessarily have to be
some shooting. So we went back to
town, and when things were ready
James fred the first shot. 1 fired
some, but James gun was the one
that opened the ball"
Col. Chisolm told what narrow
escape the Union forces had from
winning the first Bull Run, and said
that nothing could have saved the
Confederates had Gen. Mcdowell
marched straight at~them instead of
making the wide detour which he
did.

"Don't Blow, Good Lord, Don't Blow"

"Talking about trusting in Provi-
dence," remarked Representative
Charles Littlefield, of Maine, the
other day, to group of friends in
Washington, "there's an old fisher
man down at my home who affords
unique example. When old Capt.
Eddy gets out in the swell of the
heavy combers and feels his small
boat tossing about roughly he will
always pray:
"Poor old skipper, poor old boat ;
don't blow, good Lord, don't blow
"But Capt. Eddy returning home
and once safe in the shelter of the
lea is another person. Then he
straightens up, squirts tobacco juice
over the trusty oars, and cries:
"'Good old skipper, good old
boat; blow, gol dern you, blowp "

Decoration Day.

The Logan public should keep in
mind that it has been decided to make
the most Of Decoration Day this year.
II is designed that ON Saturday, May
20, persons having relatives or friends
in the local cemetery shall go there
and make such improvements in the
appearance of the graves as may be
possible. A trip through the ceme-
terry reveals the fact that 1t has had
no REAL attention. 1t Is an unkept
place of little order-the streets are
nothing but crooked driveways, head
stones are set irregularly, and many
are topping over; but few graves show
any care and loving attention-in fact
the cemetery seems a woe-begone plat
where the dead have been left just to
get them out of sight and mind. The
people should arouse themselves to
this unfortunate condition and go to
the cemetery on the Goth with the
idea of making as radical a change as
Is possible I'm short while, and then
20 away with the fixed intention of
improving things wonderfully during
the coming year,
After you have done what can be
done on Saturday 90 to the cemetery on
Monday, Decoration Day, and deposit
on the graves some Offering of love.
That place should be perfect flower

gagged in a like service over your own

Definite Plan Needed.

A careful inspection of conditions
at the Logan cemetery leads to the be-
lief that the great difficulty there is
the result of undirected effort, the alb
sence of some definite plan. The
proper people whoever they may be -
the council, or committee appointed
by the mass meeting to push the Dec
Grafton Day idea-should visit the
cemetery and take whatever action
seemeth BEST We have no doubt that
the necessity Of a few straight lines
will intrude itself so forcibly upon
their attention that they will inn
mediately make the provision for Sc
curing the desired change. Then
gain there should be some general
directions as to the planting of shrub
berry and trees. If anything is going
to be done, let it be started properly
and carried out carefully along some
definite line
