Congressman Lever is to be con-
graduated on ihs successful termina-
tion of his efJrts to have the
government farm established in
Richland county, instead of going
elsewhere. This is the first farm of
it's kind in the country and unusual
care and attention will be taken to
make il successful. It was first in
tended to commence with only 80
acres but Prof. Spillman Of the
department Of agricultural, who was
in Columbia the other day, was so
we'll pleased with the diversifcation
farm that he decided to increase its
acreage to 100. The farm is for the
purpose of demonstrating the profit
in other products besides cotton. The
farmers of Lexington, as we'll as
those of Richland, will watch the
progress of this work at the farm
with absorbing interest.

The Cosmopolitan is making Wig
orous fight for the establishment OF
parcels post in this country. The
editor continues his able argument in
the March number, showing what
portion of the population would be
most benefited by such service, and
his editorial in the front of the mag
azire is of special interest to manu-
facturers, small storekeepers of the
country towns and villages, and
merchants in the large cities, for
these classes would profit most by
the parcels post, although the ma
jority of them do not fully appreciate
the benefits they would derive.

T IKE A DEMON grip has crossed our
IL country, leaving behind scores Of
physical wrecks.
Victims of catarrh Of the head, catarrh
Of the throat, catarrh Of the lungs,
catarrh of the stomach, catarrh of the
kidneys, catarrh Of the pelvic organs,
are to be counted by hundreds Of thou
sands. Grip is epidemic catarrh, and
sows the seed of chronic catarrh within
the system.
This is so true that few grip sufferers
are able to make a complete recovery
until they have used Peruna.,
Never in the history Of medicine has
remedy received such unqualified and
universal eulogies as Peruna.

Wednesday, March 2, 1904.

The war between the legislative
committee on the one side and the
old State house commission, the
architect and the contractors on the
other is pow on. The contending
armies are marching their forces in
full array before the interested pub
lie and toe toxon has been sounded.
While the preparations for the COM
bat is actively going on it may not
be out Of place to remark that the
Legislature of South Carolina had
appropriated large sum OF money,
($5O,o00 We believe) to complete the
State house according to the plans
and specifications submitted by the
architect; that bids were duly invited
by advertisement, the contract
awarded and work began. As the
work upon the Capitol building pro-
eressed Senator Marshall, of Rich
land, sounded cry of warning con-
tending chat the work was not
being properly done, according to
the plans and a botch job was being
palmed eff on the State. But his
fellow commission men overruled
him and sustained the architect and
contractors and the work was carried
on, finished and upon the recommen-
dation of the architect, that the con-
tractors had complied with their
agreement, accepted by the commits
sion. It afterwards transpired that
the sewage system was offensive to
the nostrials of the Secretary OF
State; that there was q death breed
ing sink somewhere sbouts and an
Investigation located it in the sewer
pipes. Then, from time to time, the
gilded paint began to wear eff and
thus things went from bad to worse
until an investigation was demanded
and given. The result of that inves-
tieasion is of go recent date as to
still linger in the memory Of our
readers, that the State house is not
now completed is shown from the
fact that the last Legislature appro-
priated S45, 900 to complete it.
In saying this We do not wish to
intimate that any reflection whatever
can be cast upon the personal integ-
rity of the members of the old board
of State house commission, the
character of each one of whom is
above reproach. They simply had
their hands full in attending to the
exscting duties Of the Office to which
they were elected by the people and
trusted too implicitly upon the judg-
ment and honesty of other parties to
faithfully perform their duties and
carry out their contract.

animal was gentle enough but some
part of his harness caught on the door
and he became frightened and swung
around sideways. He struck Miss ST.

then fell himself, but in the opposite
direction. Aside from a few bruises
and a bad scare Miss Sigel was not
injured
