IMPORTANT TO SOUTH.
Congressman Lever Was Active in
Protecting Interests Of South
Carolina.

The State.
Washington, May 4.-The agricul-
tural bill has at last passed the house.
1t is Of special interest to the South
and to South Carolina. Mr.. Lever,
of South Carolina, is on the commit
tee and lie is able to rest while
from his very arduous labors and his
much travail Of spirit. Several of
the propositions which were In close
contest for life were Of special i'm
portance to South Carolina and Mr..
Lever was the special champion Of
these, sometimes against very strong
opposition. : The clause to establish
dairies to encourage the dairy indus
try proposed by Mr.. Lever and finally
passed reads as follows:
"The secretary Of agriculture be
authorized to expend Of the amount
hereby appropriated, through the dali
ry division Of the bureau Of animal
industry Of the department Of agri-
culture, sum not to exceed 500, 1000
IN further developing the dairy In
dustry Of the Southern States by con-
ducting experiments, holding insti-

;Spartanburg has 740 pensioners on
the state pension roll; Greenville
45G, and Anderson SOB, and these
three counties receive about one-fifth
of the total amount appropriated by
the state for Confederate pensions
Spartanburg gets $1S,S39.20; Green
vile $l2,050.65; Anderson $13, ,2S6.30,
making total Of $44, 176.15. The to-
tai amount sent out to the various
counties is 1924, 1860. Newberry
has only 173 names on the roll and
receives $4,295.00. The smallest num-
ber Of pensioners is in Beaufort coun-
ty. The number is 43 and the amount
Of money is $S39.7O. The amount of
pension paid to each county would
scarcely be fair estimate of the
number of soldiers furnished to the
Confederacy.

lief was that the star and sun to-

and no section of the country offers
such promising field for the diversi-
fication missionary. This appropria-
tion is intended to be a reinforcement
of the work of the department in this
direction.
81 understand the plan Of the de-
partment if this appropriation passes
the senate is to employ a number OF
dairy experts who will work i'll coop
Grafton with the state experiment sta
tions and with individual dairymen.
They will furnish to dairymen the
cheapest and best plans for the con-
struction and erection of silos; they
will teach him the most economic
methods of feeding and show him the
value of herd selection; they will
point out to him the best methods of
manufacturing, handling and market
ing Of his products, and put him in
touch with the best markets for the
sale of the products. They will visit
every dairyman in the south when re-
quested and investigate the condi-
tions and peculiar problems Of each
establishment and offer such sugges-
tions and advice for improvement as
his experience has given him. What
our people need most to make the dai-
ry business success is expert infor-
nation. This they have not had and
this it is that this appropriation
would give to them. I am confident
that an intelligent, aggressive cam
paign along these lines will succeed.
There can be no reason for a failure.
We should so far develop this indus
try as to at least supply our home
markets with their demand for dairy
products. If we can do this. we haI e
saved to our people millions Of dol
lars. But this is moi all, if we can lay
the foundation for the building up of
a successful dairy industry in the
south we will save to ourselves mil
lions in the way Of fertilizer bills and
add millions to the value Of our farm
lands whose fertility will be enor-
mously increased by the development
Of this industry. I see in this appro-
priation great possibilities for good
and feel that no one can doubt that
the promise Of tangible results is not
a sufficient warrant for this appropri-
alton with which to make the expert
ment."
This proposition has met with much
favor in the south and is warmly in
dorsed by the secretary of agriculture
and the press Of the country.
Near the close of the day. when one
feature of the bill was under consid-
Grafton, Mr.. Lever was instrumental
in saving a part of the appropriation
for the experiment farms. South Car
olina has two of these farms. By
some trick of one of the New York
men, Mr.. Driscoll, part of the increase
for this purpose was shifted to New
York station. Only rs members were
present when the matter came ND and
but for the watchfulness of the South
Carolinian one or both Of these ex-
pertinent stations in South Carolina
would have suffered. He called at
tention to the whole situation and
showed how the New York man was
not "toting fair" The house voted
and the Lever proposition carried by
| 27 to 81.

A VISIT TO CAMDEN AND KER.
s,Js5sNs 81 49, E n Avn g q isl ~

Ny first visit to the beautiful city
of Camden was made a few days ago.
| was en- route to Kershaw to attend
the marriage of my friend, Col. John
Bell Towill, and as / had never had
the pleasure Of seeing the city of
Camden concluded to spend the
night there. Ill.
Soon after my arrival in the after
noon Editor Mcdowell of the Journal
took me in charge and through his
kindness ], had drive over the city.
The streets are broad and shady
and here and there are beautiful
parks. The tourist hotels were near
ly all closed as the season is about
over, but it is no wonder the people of
the north like to spend their winters
in this beautiful historic town.
This is an old town, and has many
places Of historic interest. 1t is the
former home of Judge Joseph B.
Kershaw, that peerless soldier, pure
jurist and elegant gentleman.
I spent the night very pleasantly
with Mr.. c. W. Birchmore, editor of
the Wateree Messenger. He has re-
Gently moved into the city and has a
handsome new home fronting on
Hampton Park. This park is named
in honor Of Wade Hampton. 1t was
among these stately pines where hc
addressed the red shirt brigade in the
memorable campaign Of 1876. Cam
den like all the other towns of the
state shows every evidence of growth
and prosperity. a new $4,000 court
house has just been completed and
many handsome houses and beautiful
lawns adorn the city.
Kershaw is a town ON the line be-
tween Kershaw county and Lancaster
county but on the Lancaster side and
is beautifully laid out with broad
streets. 1t is only sixteen years old
and is progressive and prosperous
community.
Col. John Bell Towill and Miss
Daisy Pearce were married in the af-
ternoon Of Thursday, the Goth of
April at the handsome home Of Mr. E.
D. Blakeney, Mrs. Blakeney being a
sister Of the bride. The beautiful and
impressive ceremony which made
them man and wife was spoken by
Rev. Hugh R. Hutchinson of Bishop
| vile. The bride is a beautiful and
charming young woman and Col
Towill is to be congratulated OH secur-
ing such q prize for his life partner.
On the return trip I came by Rock
Hill and spent several hours with DR.
James p. Kinard and his family al
Winthrop college.
DR.. Kinard is professor of English
at Winthrop. He has recently pub,
lished an English grammar which
those who are competent to judge sa!
is very valuable and complete tex,
book and it would do well for the
state board of education to adopt il
for use in the public schools. There
is certainly sore need for text book
on this important subject.

STICKS IN THE STOMACH.
Feeling That Often Comes to People
With Weak Digestion

With Weak Digestion.
A poor sufferer from indigestion
once said that his stomach felt as
though it was filed with sticks and as
though some of them were on fire and
burning him up inside.
When the stomach and the organs
Of digestion and nutrition are weak
ened and do not act properly. the
symptoms of i'll health that follow are
many and varied. There is often a
feeling OF heayiness in the stomach.
there is distress and nervousness, diz-
siness, nausea, nervous and sick head
aches, inability TO sleep well, pains In
the side and limbs, specks before the
eyes and a general peeyish, irritable
condition.
All these troubles are the direct re-
suit of Indigestion. Cure this by
strengthening the stomach and diges-
tive system with Mi-o-na stomach tab
let's and your symptoms of Ill health
will vanish like dew before the morn
ing sun life viii be joyous, and di-
gestion will be so natural that you will
forget you have stomach.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets cost but soc
box and are sold by G.. A. Parcher
under an absolute guarantee that they
will be successful in every case where
used according to directions, or money
will be refunded.
