Ih. Year and tl,a c.Isnd.r.

After Julius Caesar corrected the cal
endar the year was stlli II minutes.
IA seconds too long, amounting to
one day in 12S years. As the centuries
passed the interval between the COM
mencement Of the year aId the spring
equinox grew less. 1t was not, how
ever. until 1882 that anything was done
about it. Then Pope Gregory XIII. set
out to remedy the difficulty. This he
did by directing the suppression Of ten
days outright. In order to provide for
the future he ordered that all century
years Q7OO. 1900. etc. which would
ordinarily be leap years should be com
mon years unless they were multiples
Of 400. This arrangement, which still
holds good, leaves only one day too
much in 3.4O0 years. A French scien-
fist has proposed dropping an addi-
tional day in the year $500 and repeat
ing the process every $500 years This
would leave us short one day every
10000 years. which may be considered
correct enough for all practical pur-
POSES. At any rate. the matter Is not
pressing.-New York Post.

ECZEMA NOW DURABLE.
All Itching Skin Diseases Which Are
Not Hereditary Instantly ReIev-
ed by Oil of Wintergreen.
Can eczema be cured?

Can eczema be cured!
Some physicians say Yes
Some say NO
The real question is, what is meant
by eczema?" If you mean those scaly
eruptions, those diseases which make
their first appearance, not at birth, but
years afterward, and perhaps not until
middle age-then there can no longer
be any question that these forms of
eszema are durable.
Simple vegetable oil of wintergreen,
mixed with other. vegetable ingredi
ents, will kill the germs that infest
the skin. Apply this prescription to
the skin, and instantly that awful itch
is gone. The very moment the liquid
is applied, that agonizing, tantalizing
itch disappears, and continued appli-
cations of this external remedy soon
cure the disease.
We carry in stock this oil of winter
green properly compounded into D. D.
d. Prescription. While we are not
sure that it will cure all those cases of
skin trouble which are inherited, We
positively know that this D. D. d. Pre-
scription, whenever rightly used, will
cure every last case of genuine eczema
or other skin trouble. which did not
exist at birth.
We know this. Anyway you. your
self, will know that d. D. d. Prescrip-
ton instantly takes away the itch the
moment 1T is applied to the skin.T.

MEXICAN MURDERED
By Foreman Of Grading Camp Nea
Timpas.

Deputy Coroner Sprinkler was called to
the Brannon reservoir site near Timpas
on Sunday night to investigate the killing
Of Mexican named Marcus Lopez by
w. D. Sharp. foreman Of the grading
camp.
The remains of the murdered man
were brought to this city and the eoron-
er's inquest was held on Monday after
noon. developing the fact that the muir
der was apparently the elimination OF
bad feeling that had existed between the
two men for several months.
The evidence showed that the two men
had worked together down in Kansas
last April. Sharp as foreman and Lopez
As . laborsr and that . disagreement had
taken place bstwssn them. Sharp threat
sning TO get" the Mexican. On the day
before the killing Lopez arrived ut the
Brannon grading camp and applied for
work. which was promised him By one OF
tho other forsmsn.
When Sharp learned that ths Mexican
was in camp hs went TO the ONCE and
drew his time. receiving about $50.
Shortly after he went to the tsnt where
Lopez and . number Of other Msxieans
were having . game Of cards and on
opening the tent door shot twice at the
victim Of his deadly hate. One bullet
took Lopez directly between the eyes and
the other penetrated his breast just above
the heart. Either shot would have prov
en- fatal and death was instantaneous.
Sharp made his escape to the hills and
has not yet been apprshsndsd. though
searching parties arc securing the eoun-
try in the vicinity Of Timpas and It is not
believed that he can elude the vigilance
of the officers. He IS described as a
young white man Of about 25 years OF
age.
The eoroner's jury brought in sealed
verdict and the Mexican was buried
Wednesday morning at the expense Of
the county.

A Touching Incident.

One of the very pathetic incidents in
connection with the death and burial of
the late Col. John D. M. Shaw was the
presence in the city Monday of large
number Of Col. Shaw's colored friends,
especially those from his late home,
many of whom have lived on the place
from twenty to thirty years. They
came to get last look at their friend
and chief. Their request was granted
and before the body was removed from
Col. McCravy's to the "Silent City"
many of them went in and viewed the
silent form and turned away weeping,
silently and sadly. In q body they fol-
lowed to the cemetery, and at the re-
quest of Mrs, Shaw deputation Of the
older negro servants were allowed the
privilege of filling over the grave. 1t
was striking scene of devotion and
loyalty characteristic of the old time
negro.

PEATHHRSToNE ROR GOVERNOR.
Distinguished Prohibitionlst of Laurens
TO Oppose AnseI.

Columbia, February 20. The politi-
cal situation was still further compli-
Gated by the announcement tonight
that Mr.. G. c. Featherstone, of Lau-
rens, will be candidate for Governor
in the primary this summer.
Mr.. Featherstone was in the city to-
night on his way home from Orange
burg county, where he went to deliver
two prohibition speeches today and yes
terday. He stated today that he be-
lieved the time for the enactment of a
State prohibition law had arrived, and
that he had acceded to the wishes of
his friends to enter the race for COVER
nor to advocate that policy. Mr.. Feath-
erstone was candidate for governor
in 1898 on the prohibition platform and
was defeated by a combination of pc
culiar circumstances, and by very
narrow majority. He has not since
that time participated in politics to any
extent. Mr.. Featherstone is one of the
strongest lawyers in the State, is a
man of fine address and manners, and
is personally very popular. He has
served as grand chancellor of the
knights of Pythias, and is an active
and prominent member of the Metho-
dist church.
There has been considerable talk to
the effect that Mr.. John G. Richards,
OF Kershaw, may enter the race for
governor this year, and Mr.. Richards,
in reply to question tonight, said he
had the matter under consideration.
He is also for State prohibition.
Gov. Ansel some time ago announced
that he will be candidate for re-elec-
tion. He was elected two years ago Oh
the platform of local option. j. H.

Capt. j. Willie Jones died last We'd
nesday night at his home here, the Col.
James H. Irby mansion, South Harper
street, where he had resided for the
past year or more. Mr.. Jones suffered
an attack of grippe few weeks ago,
but it was thought he was rapidly re-
covering when, on last Tuesday night,
complications set up and he grew sud-
denly worse, death resulting day
later.

son of Gen. Thomas F. Jones, and
was reared in this city. With the ex-
ception of the war period, Mr.. Jones
was actively engaged in business, Ell
ther as salesman or on his own account,
after he attained his majority until he
retired few years ago.
When the war broke out he was
clerking at Union, and volunteered
from that place. He served in the
infantry, Mr.. r. o. Hairston and per-
haps others of this county being MEM
bers of his company.
After the war he was engaged in
business at Cross Hill, and later To-
Gated in Laurens, continuing until
few years ago when he retired.
He was twice married, his first wife
having been Miss Gary, of Newberry
county, and his second marriage was
to Miss Tallulah Irby, daughter of COL
j. H. Irby and sister of the late Col. j.
l.. M. Irby and DR.. w. c. Irby, who
survives her husband. He is also sur
vived by two sons, Prof. Thomas F.
Jones, of Woodruff, and Mr.. Willie
Jones. of Greenville, and two daugh-
ters, Mrs. A. N. Brunson, of Columbia,
and Miss Katherine Joees, of Laurens.
The deceased was a warm-hearted,
