Beau BrunmeI.

The play Beau Brummel" came up to
expectations in every detail. the character
and person Of Beau as impersonated by
NJ ,Hackett, elbows the touch OF q master
hand.
Beau Brummel as impersonated by NJ
Hackett, possesses the foibles Of a fop and
vet the heart OF a man. He possesses the
pride of Lucifer together with the poverty
of Job. Punctilious in person and dress
yet broad In his friendships and affections.
Beau was a unique character, and 80 well
was the part played by the actor that we
forget that there was once a Beau Brum-
mel, in the knowledge that here we have
g. character Of all time. We saw him Mon
day night, we will see him again. He Is
with US. He is human. He is life like.
Like the %grasshopper, Beau sang away
the long summer days, unmlndful OF the
frost, the killing frost Of winter. But like
the grasshopper Beau never PHILOSOPHERS
over the way he spent his days, and took
what came as he took all else-a matter OF
course.
The next attraction at the Opera House
will be Fluffy Ruffles." The date Is Mon
day evening November Is.

$500 Per Cent.

The following incident is a little old, bu'
is new in that Sit has never before been
publicly related.
Some years ago, while Mrs. NJ. c. Gary
was keeping house in this city, a coloreo
woman called and offered her twelve beau
tiful frying-sized chickens. She bought
them and the went away, satisfied
In q few months she came back with ten
as pretty as the first.
Mrs. Gary asked her where she raised
them. The woman said she lived on the
edge of a dense piece of woods, and thai
the hen raised the chickens in these
woods.
Mrs. Gary did not suspicion anything
remarkable about the case until the wom-
an came a third time; this time with eleV-
en- chickens. They were all apparently OF
the same brood, and as before, all beautl-
full chickens. Mrs. Gary asked her how
many hens she had, and was amazed to
learn That the woman had but one hen, and
that the three broods, laid and Matched
and marketed within something ike a
wear, were all the product of one indus
trious hen.
IF one hen matches and raises one chick
en- to maturity, that is 100 per cent. II
she raises SO chickens to maturity, thai
is SO times 100 or $500 per cent.
Can anybody beat it?

DIPTHERIA.

On last Friday afternoon this writer
was called to Mccormick to what he
thought would be q funeral. A young Nep-
hew was suffering from the dread disease
Diptheria. Anti-toxin had been admins
tered, but the disease had made to much
Roadway before the serum had been appli.
ed. and the little patient was dying OF
s~uffocation, choking up. In a very short
while he would have passed away. The
Doctor in waiting, DR.. Fuller at this point
telegraphed DR.. Neel of Greenwood, stat
ing the case telling him to bring his in.
struments. Within an hour or so DR.. Neel
was at the bedside and just in time. He
inserted in the throat Of the child a tube
there which it could breathe. Five minutes
after the tube was inserted the child was
asleep.
After Yachting by the. bedside for a night
one might take away the germs In cloth,
ing. On enquiring Of the physician ne said
thatit was very dangerous, and that one
should not enter a house where there were
children before that he had changed
his clothing and bathed hands, face, and
hair in becloride to kill the bugs:
This we did; and after following dlrec-
tions, felt sure that there was no danger.

The appalling death-rate from kid

fact that the little kidney troubles are
usually neglected until they become
serious. The slight symptoms give
place to chronic disorders and the suf-
ferer goes gradually into the grasp OF
diabetes, dropsy, Brights disease,
gravel or some other serious form OF
kidney complaint.

The 6. 0, and D.

The gala day and impressive ceremonies
held at Spartanburg on the completion OF
the Carolina, Chuchfield and Ohio Rail-
road, marks an epoch in the Industrial his

It has been a mystery to many why

had it's share Of the %stupendous business

cities in the whole land. Its barber is un-
excslled. Why then has she not taken her

If that she has been short. OF the proper
railroad facili ties. True she has several
roads but q railroad prefers a long haul to
a shert one any time, and these roads
haul to their extremities each car, the
destination Of which they can influence.
1t is only natural that they should do so.
II Charleston were at the terminus Of
these roads, what a difference there would
be In the shipping at our principal Sea
port. Since the building Of these great
systems the maratime businessof Charles

Now we have a railroad the terminus,

Cha rleston. We hope to see the "City by
the Sea" grow and prosper under this new
aquisition. 1t is time Charleston is COM
ing into her own.
1t is the duty Of every Board OF trade,
and every loyal citizen even, to see to it
that every thing is done that can be done
to develope our own state, and the first
thing to be done Is to be done Is to direct
the channels OF trade toward our principal
sea port. II W. help her she in turn, will
help the rest Of the state.

Bradley became engaged in conversation
The chat naturally turned on the crops,
and Mr.. Bradley asked him how many
bales of cotton ne was making to the
horse. Mr.. Cam promptly replied that
he was making two bales to the horse this
year.
Mr.. Bradley expressed some surprise,
whereupon Mr.. Cam rejoincd that he had
heard of people making five and six bales
of cotton to the horse, but he looked on it
like lie did on ghost stories. He said that
he never had made more than two bales
and he dent believe anybody else did.
