Gowan's Pneumonia
Cure

decks were swept bare, with the excep-
ton of the few survivors who clung to
the mast. They were rescued by the
steamer Ada at 10 o'clock Sunday mora
ing, after having endured II hours Of
agony.
Owing TO the rough sea, together with
a thick snowstorm, the captain of the
Hilda probably took the buoy light of
the rocks for the st. Malo lighthouse.
He gave signals, which were not seen by
harbor employees, and then the steamer
proceeded slowly toward the light.
When the Hilda struck the rocks the
steamers boiler exploded, giving the
passengers no time TO save their lives.
The coast near st. Malo is covered
with wrecksge and some cattle. Two
thirds of the Hilda's passengers were
French farmers returning to France with
heavy sums in gold from the sale OF
their yearly harvest Of onions and po-
ta.oes.
The others were English families who
were going TO spend the winter at Di-
nard. The wreck lies on the beach three
miles off ST. Malo, showing only her
mainmast and iorecastle.
A correspondent went to the scene on
government steamer with the local
officials. They picked up five bodies
which were entangled in the rigging OF
the HilGa. The bodies presented a dreaf-
ful spectacle, with arms and legs twisted
in all directions and hands torn with
desperate struggling.

BARNwELL, December 3O.-Mrs. John
E.. Smelling and her three youngest sons
left here at II o'clock a. m. yesterday to
visit Mrs. Snelling's father and mother,
about ten miles west of this city. They
had not gone more than three miles when
the horse became frightened at a batch of
paper some one had left by the roadside.
The horse dashed away, and ran over some
small trees, tore loose from the buggy and
jerked Mrs. Smelling upon her hands and
head, bruising her considerably and break.
ing the fourth finger on the right hand.
She suffered considerable pain, and but
for the goodness of Boston Lee and other
kind-hearted negroes, Mrs. Smelling and
her little boys would have been in an
awful predicament.
On being notified of the predicament
MI. Leroy Molair, who was in the neigh
borhood, at once sent his carriage and
had them conveyed back home.
Strange to say, none of the little boys
were hurt in the least.

Two Christmas Tragedies.

CHERAw, Dec 2s.-Cheraw had two
fatal accidents as its quota of Christmas
casualties. Saturday night a number OF
persons were in the store of Montgomery
s& Croxton: A party was standing in the
rear of the store discussing the dangers OF
pistol carrying. Mr.. L. B. Croxton in a
spirit of leyity, it is said, to scare the
crowd, pointed his pistol behind him and
fred. A negro man named Ben Perry,
who was sitting on a sack back OF the
group and who had not been noticed,
began to complain On examination it
was found that he was shot through the
stomach. Every attention was given to
him, but he died on Sunday morning.
Two young white boys, Walter White
and Thomas Pegues, were out hunting
about three miles west of Cheraw. Young
Pegues' gun went off while in his hand
and the load entered the body of Walter
White, Instantly killing him. The boys
were good friends and near relatives.
The accident is deplored.

A Hint to Mean Husbands.

LAURENs, December 31.-A story istold
in Laurens of how good old South Car
olina doctor aided an unfortunate wife in
ridding herself of cruel and worthless
husband.
The old doctor, out Of the abundance of
charity which possessed his soul, had been
faithfully attending the unfortunate wo-
man through protracted illness and was
greatly impressed by the sweetness and
gentleness of her nature, in contrast to
the brutality and contemptibleness of that
of the husband. The man would not
work and provide for the household, but
went so far as to abuse the long-suffering g
woman when she would not do so.
The poor creature confided her troubles
to the good doctor, who said that he could
not put the man in the .penitentiary,
where he belonged, but that he would do
the best he could. So he proceeded to Sc
cure the cooperation of one of his breth-
rem ofthe profession and instituting de
lunatieo inquirendo, adjudged the man
insane, and sent him to the Insane Asylum

WisdOm's Whispers.

1t does not pay to carry spite to APPOINT
which brings feeling of contempt.
There is no use being stubborn when
your own interests are affected.
Give other people the credit of being
honest until you have evidence to the
contrary.
When you know story will not bear
repetition, put it away for safe keeping.
Don't blame another for your own mis-
takes without considering the effect there
of.
A convincing falsehood will sometimes
come back with terrific force.
Too much patting on the back has been
known to produce unfortunate conse.
quences.
Pride is good thing when there is not
too much of it.
Ill-feeling can be engendered though an
over-plus of confidence and friendliness.
