St Martinville has been getting
freight and mail very regularly
for quarantine time, and thus far
we have experience not the least
inconvinience, in our ordinary run
of affairs. Business is a little
dull, we must admit, but this is
due to the depressing effect of the
fever, of which every community
in the state is exposed, and for
this reason, people do not feel to
venture in any thing that is sub
ject to be interrupted at any time
if the fever was to come. The
planters, however, are gathering
their crops, the ginners are get
ting ready and the re6neries are
pushing as rapidly as possible the
improvements they have CON-
menced, and all will be ready in
time for the grinding of the large
and fine cane crop of this parish.

Ticksburg Evening Post, October 20.
The announcement of the death OF
Dr.. Edward Shelby Rauch at 6:45
O'Clock this morning, at his rooms at

this city. His father Mr.. j. Melvin

bure's citizens were stricken with
the fever in its most malignant form
Dr.. Rauch volunteered to 60 there as
a representative of the State Board
OF Health, leaving this city one week
ago last Saturday the 7th.
Mrs. McLeurin, wife of .. S Sena-
tor A J. McLaurin, is his aunt, being

Mr. Melvin Raucb, the father of
Dr.. Edward Shelby R.ucb, was q
son of Mr.: John Rauch, whose home
was where Mr.. George R Fields now
resides, near this place, on the Wyse's
Ferry road. Melvin emigrated from
Lexington when mere lad. He has
numerous relatives in this county
who will read with deep SORROW of the

Some Reflections,

Fhe older I get and the more I see
tb less confidence I have in the
power of whiskey to make men love
right and do justice. That whiskey
has power over men who love
money more than they do right and
justice, seems apparent. When these
two thoughts are connected they
gip US the key to most of the wrong
doing and injustice that marks the
period in which we live. They ex-
plain why a town is oficered by
those who are Indifferent to many
things importa t to the welfare of
thepeople at ls-ge. It explains why
schools are dominated by spirit of
evil It explains why boards of health
are eiten powerless for good. It ex-
plains why legislatures are often
slowsto act in a right cause, and why
SONG aspirsnt to Office are non-com.
INITIAL on questions Of sobriety and

good morals. Such may not be
specially friendly to whiskey but
want it understood that they are not
''for or against it." ~ If physician
who does not favor conditions that
promotes typhoid fever was to object
to spending fifty dollars in a town to
remove the conditions that promote
it because it would '',ax the people"
and then charge individuals of that
town who suffer from those con-
ditions five hundred dollars for med
ical services on account of typhoid
fever without compunction of con-
science it would be said and with
good reason, that that physician was
after money rather than promoting
the health of his community; a pro-
fessional, rather than q bsnetactor.
Now Just so with this whiskey bus
mess. There is hardly any sound
minded man in all our fair land that
would have the hsrdihood to stand
in defence of the evils that result
from it, but there is here and there
man who loves money better than
the best interests of a common good;
be is getting money out of the
whiskey business and therefore like
the supposed physician he is q pro-
feasionsl money gatherer and would
rather rejoice than lament the suf-
fering of his fellows. In every hu-
man heart there is a spark Of divine
light. This is our hope and our re-
joicing. The college professor, the
physician, the legislatureman, the
men of every station in life where
object is only money gathering, may
yet be awakened by that light, and
see better way, and reach higher
life. Thousands have already done
so, and what has been is being aud
will continue to be. Let the trumpet
from the pulpit and the press call
long and loud to the people to turn
from the love of liquor and money to
the love of God, and our fellow man.
Then the promise of the life that now
ie, and the life that is to be, will be
ours. Joab Edwards.

In Time Of Peace.

In the first months of the Russia Japan
war we had q striking example of the
necessity for preparation and the early
advantage of those who, SO to speak.
have shingled their roofs in dry wealth
er." The virtue of preparation has
made history and given to Us our great
est men. The individual as well as the
nation should be prepared for any emer-
gency. Are you prepared to successfully
combat the first cold you take? A cold
can be cured much more quickly when
treated as soon as it has been contracted
and before it has, become settled in the
system. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is famous for the cure of colds and it
should be kept at hand ready for instant
use. For sale by the Kaufman Drug Co.

Arkansas Letter.

Please allow me little space in
your valuable paper to let my old
and new friends in Lexington and
Saluda counties hear from me. I
got back to my home in Arkansas
after a six weeks visit ia South Car
olina. / left Columbia, the 18th of
September, ats 7:10 in the morning
and the next day at 5 o'clock I was
in Pine Bluff. I did not nave much
trouble in getting through.
will say that there was 8 big
speculation on the yellow fever stu
ation. We all had to get a health
ticket, and then when the guards
came through the cars he said that
they were no good, although We had
to pay for them, but We got home all
the same.
Mr.. Editor, I wish to thank my
many friends in old South Carolina
for their kindness to me while I was
with them. They were 30 kind to
me, and did all they could to make
my stay among them pleasant and
happy and / assure them that their
efforts were appreciated. They made
me fesl young sgain. I will never
forget them.
The reunion of the Old Confeds.
at Lexington was the grandest one
that I ever witnessed. Oh! those
good people Of Old Lexington! God
bless you ali for making me feel that
] would like to pay you another visit,
and if I live 8 few more years it is
my intention to. do 80.
Mr.. Editor, crops are short in Ar
kansas. I have heard that they give
Arkansas II per cent. in cotton, bat
they don't know what they are talk
ling about. Arkansas won't make
cover rs per cent, and if the farmers
will hold their cotton for IL or 12
cents they will get it. There is lot
sof cotton here held over from last
year and they are still holding it.
8 MIR. Editor, T will close for this
lime for fear that your will look up
your soap box.
