A Novel Case.

A case of unusual interest was call
ed before Magistrate Richbourg's
court at Summerton last Thursday.
Dr.. d. O. Rhame, the mayor Of Sum-
merton, was hailed before Judge Rich
bourg charged with selling Jamaica
Ginger, a compound, containing a
large percentage of alcohol. The
charge being one beyond the jurisdic-
ton of the magistrate all that he
could do was to hold a preliminary
but the prosecution represented by j.
Nj. woods, ESQ.,, made objection &c
Judge Richbourg hearing an exparte
side of the case upon the ground of
bIasness in favor of the defendant. w.
c. Davis, Esq, represented the de-
Tense. The cause was moved to Man
hing to be heard before Magistrate
Dickson at time not fixed. AS far
as our information goes, there ap-
pears to be considerable feeling
among the friends of Mr.. Ad Walters,
who it seems bought Jamaica Ginger
at the drug store of Doctor Rhame,
and becoming intoxicated to the ex-
tent of becoming boisterous and dis
orderly. He was arrested and heavily
i:ned, which resulted, so it is claimed,
IN a warrant being sworn out charg-
ing DR.. Rhame with violating the
liquor laws Of the State, in that he
sold a compound or mixture which
contains alcohol when used as q bev-
erage will produce intoXication.
This case will be watched with in
terest all over the country, because a
very important element of law en-
forcement is involved in it. If the
courts decide that the selling Of Ja-
maica Ginger is in violation Of law, it
viii necessarily have to make the
same ruling With regard to nearly all
of the extracts being used in the
households for cooking and baking,
because nearly all Of them contain a
large percentage of alcohol. Vinegar
would have to be analyzed to ascer-
tain the percentage of alcohol it con-
tains; yeast for the making of bread,
goes through a fermentation. and il
too, may contain alcohol-Manning

Everybody is likely to have kidney
and bladder trouble. In fact nearly
everybody has some trouble Of this
KIND. That is the reason why you so
often have pains in the back and
groin, scalding sensation, urinary dis
orders, etc.-that's your kidneys. The
best thing to do is to get some Of De-
Wits Kidney and Bladder Pills right
away. Take them for a few days or
week or so and you will feel all
rieht. In this way, too, you will ward
off dangerous and possibly serious all
ments. They are perfectly harmless,
and are not only antiseptic, but allay
pain quickly by their healing proper
ties. Send your name to f. c. De-

The Composers Own Story Of How He
Became Deaf.


Became Deaf.
Charles Neate, on visit to Vienna,
was either commissioned by certain
English authorities to induce Beethoven
to visit. England or was persuading
him to do SO on his own account. and
as an allurement he spoke Of the su-
periority Of the English aurists in their
treatment of ear disease and held out
hopes that were Beethoven to consult
them he might at least find some sort
Of relief. Beethoven shook his head.
NO." he said, II have consulted all
kinds Of doctors and followed their
prescriptions. shall never be cured.
I will tell you how the thing happened.
II was writing an opera. I had to
deal with a very tiresome and capri
cious tenor. had already written two
great arias to the same words, neither
OF which pleased him, and also a third,
which he did not care for the first time
he tried 1t, although he took 1t away
with him. I was thanking heaven
had done with him and had begun to
settle myself to something else which
I had laid aside. had hardly worked
at 1t half an hour before I heard
knock at the door, which l recognized
as that Of my tenor.
II sprang up from my table in such
q rage that as the man came into the
room flung myself upon the floor, as
they do on the stage" (here he threw
up his arms and gesticulated In illus
tration), but fell upon my hands
When I got up found I was deaf,

Losing relates that in 1848 he met
at Oswego, N. Y. Major Cochran, then
nearly eighty years old, a son-in-iaw W
Of General Philip Schuyler. who told
the story Of his election to congress
during the administration Of the elder
Adams. A vessel was to be launched
on one Of the lakes in interior New
York, and people came from afar to
see 1t. The young folks gathered
there. determined to have a dance at
night. There was a fiddle, but no
fiddler. Young Cochran was an anna.
teur performer, and his services were
demanded. He gratiied the Joyous
company, and at the supper table one
OF the gentlemen remarked, in com
mendation Of his talents. that he was
''ft for congress" The matter was
talked up. and he was nominated and
elected q representative in congress
for the district then comprising the
whole Of New York west Of Schenec.

SCARLET fever.
A seourgs Of White Races In All Aces
and Countries.


Now that smallpox, thanks to com.
pulsory vaccination. has become q rar.
ity In civilized communities, scarlet
fever steps forward as the worst of
the eruptive diseases Of childhood.
1t is malady Of enormous antiquity.
Thucydides. writing nearly 500 years
before the beginning of our era, called
1t heritage from the remote past.
1t has scOurged the white races in all
ages and all countries, and the phy.
sicians Of all schools have leveled
their heaviest artillery upon it. Yet
1t remains puzzle unsolved and an
enemy unconquered even today. We
are In doubt as to its cause, and there
Is no drug or antitoxin that will cure
1t. But despite all this the death rate
from scarlet fever is steadily declin-
Ing, and We may expect it to decline
more and more as the years 60 BY.
The reason for this. I take it, lies In
the fact that the modern doctor Is q
great deal more sparing with pills and
powders than his predecessor and q
great deal more lavish with water, air
and antiseptics. In the old days It
was customary to dose scarlet fever
patients with oil sorts Of violent rene
dies In staggering quantities. and as a
result many Of them died. Today
medicines are but minor auxiliaries in
the sickroom, and both doctor and

Officers Transfer.
A young Russian officer wished to be
transferred to another regiment and
took his request In person to one Of

to arrange-almost impossible. Then
his glance fell suddenly upon the shoes
OF the lieutenant. To the amazement
Of his visitor, the senior officer said
that the lieutenant's shoes were not
nearly good enough for an officer and
that he would strongly advise him to
buy new shoes Of shoemaker whose
address he gave. Then. telling his vis-
itor to return in eight days. he dis
missed him. The latter was clever
enough to realize that he could not re-
turn without the new shoes, so he hur-
ried to the shoemaker. On hearing
who had sent him the shoemaker said
that the lieutenant could have the
shoes in FIVE days for the sum Of $3.50.
Much astonished, the officer went to q
comrade for advice. He was told to
pay half Of this sum Mt once and the
rest when his shoes were finished.
This the officer did. and. wearing his
new boots, he duly kept his appoint.
ment with the general staff officer and
learned to his Joy that all the "grave
difficulties" lin the way Of his transfer
had been successfully removed.

Chevalier Bayard died." On May 2
he had Grape on again. "Still mourn
ing Bayard?" said the friend. "No,"
said he, "but don't you remember that
on May 2 great and charming poet,
Alfred de Musset, breathed his last?"
On the 9th Of the same month, "Whon
