"A Lancaster Boys Fine Re-
cord as an Orator and De-
batter at Wofford.

Mr.. O. N. Sapp, referred to in
the following, taAen from the
Spartanburg Herald, is a son of
Mr. d. F. Sapp, of Lancaster
county, and is member of Wof-
ford's graduating class this
year:
A letter was yesterday received
from Furman asking that the
Wofford-Furman debate for this
year be done away with on &C.
count of their not having an open
date. An effort is being made by
the Wofford men to have the de.
bate in Spartanburg if the Eur
man men cannot arrange to have
it In Greenville, but nothing de-
finite has as yet been decided
on.
The debate was to have been
held in GreenviHe Thursday,
May 30. The query is: "Resolv,
ed, That the United States Should
Relinquish all Claims to the
Philippine Islands Except as a
Military Station" Affirmative /:
Wofford-Messrs. G. N. Sapp
and w. w. Csssain; negative,
Furman-Messrs. G. V. Stansell
and j. w. Mitchell.
Tne Wofford boys are very
anxious to have the debate this
year and to revenge themselves
on Furman, who won the last two
years. MessrS Sapp and Cassain
are two of the finest orators that
Wofford has ever produced and
all who have ever heard them de
clare that they could do credit to
their college infdebate with any
college in the South. The Wof
ford boys are expecting walk
over if the debate can be held.
Mr.. Cassain has already shown
his ability ss en- orator in winn.

and Mr. Sapp is considered 10 no
wise inferior to him as a speak

Mr.. Editor: Two or three d avs
ago was very agreeably sur
prised to meet the Hon. w. U.
Clyburn aud daughter, Mrs. Jen-
kins, of Waycross, in our town.
Sure enough, when 1 saw the an
nouncement of his daughters
marriage, aud that she was going
to Waycross to live, l suggested
that when her father visited her
that he would run down to Val
dosta and take look at our CITY.
1t turned out as l had hoped it
would, and | was truly glad to
see them. The captain looks well
and weighs at least SO pounds
more than he did when I last
saw HMM 1890. He talks in
terestingly on general subjects
but more especially on farming.
He ought to be heard on that
subject because it has been his
chief business and he has been
marvelously successful. Just
think OF it, within the last few
years he has added plantation to
to plantation until now he owns
a large body of fertile land. Not
only so, but he has stimulated its
productive Qualities until the
yield is perhaps 200 per cent
above old systems of cultivation
and the end is not yet. His
idea is 10 plant less and make
more. He is good authority on
the subject aud would advise
young farmers, ard older ones
too, rs 10 that, to consult the
capl ain as far as may be, as to
modes III the management cf a
crop. 1t will be money Tor you
The captain seems To think we

line established years ago by
Halle and Mcllwa,n, two expert
surveyors, should be held and re-
garded as the true line. The line
was undisputed for years after
the Halle and McIlwain survey
and men bought and improved
property which they believed was
in Lancaster county, and now
after years of citizenship, in Lam
caster county, it is sought to
turn them over to another coun-
ty. 1t is all wrong and the pro-
ceeding looking to that end ought
to be quashed.

of mixed metaphors:

BOYS GO HUNTING.
Y. M. C. A. Lads Join in Chase After
Cotton Tails,

More than score Of boys, with al
most half as many dogs of all kinds,
Joined in a rabbit hunt today in the
woods and corn fields southwest Of the
city. The hunt was led by Earl Roberts,
and it was part of the program of en-
tertainment arranged for the ten days
holiday for the younger boys Of the
Railroad z. M. G. A.
Such pack of miscellaneous dogs
has never been seen on the 'levee" be-
fore as that which left the Y. M. C. A.
building with the boys this morning.
There were big and little dogs, dogs
that showed breeding and those that
did not, spotted dogs, pointers, spaniels
and ours. The boys were armed with
nothing more deadly than clubs, thus
preventing the possibility Of accidents.
In the addition to the roller skating
party the boys enjoyed Monday, the
afternoon was spent in tournament
of games in the boys department. A
series Of various games were played
in which Donald Elder won first place.

BETTER THAN MEDICINE.
Breathe Hyomei's Tonic Healing and
be Cured of Catarrh.

Nature has a remedy for catarrh, a
treatment that is far better than dos
ing the stomach with medicine.
1t is the healing oils and balsams of
Hyomei which medicates the air you
breathe, reaching the most remote air
cells in the nose, throat and lungs,
killing all catarrhal germs, and restor-
ing health to the mucous membrane.
In using Hyomei you are treating
your catarrhal troubles with the only
natural remedy, for it gives a curative
air bath to the air passages that has
as powerful healing and antiseptic
effect as that found in the mountains
where the pine forests give off their
fragrant and healing balsams.
Breath the invigorating and healing
Hyomei, and see how quickly you will
get relief from your catarrhal troubles.
Mcbride & Will have seen so many
cures. even of the worst cases of
catarrh, with offensive breath, raising
of mucus, frequent sneezing, droppings
in the throat and spasmodic coughing,
that they feel warranted in selling
Hyomei under an absolute guarantee
to refund the money if it does not do
all that is claimed for it, They take
all the risk.
