THE POSTOFFTCE BUILDING.
Bids for Construction Of Public Build.
ing Called For.

The Supervising Architect of the
Treasury Department is advertising
for bids for the construction of
the postoffice buildeng which is to be
be erected on the government lot at
the corner of South and Main and
Caldwell streets.
The building will be built in accord
ance with the plans prepared by the
Supervising Architect. The appropri-
alton available amounts to $4,000,
less $4,000 paid for the lot, and this
sum is expected to cover the cost of
the building and furnishings. The
same sum was appropriated for the
Anderson postoffice and 1t is pre-
sumed that the two buildings will be
planned as nearly alike as local con-
ditions will permit. hence it is a rea-
sonable conclusion that the cost of the
two buildings will be about the same.
The contract for the Anderson build
Ing was let several weeks ago, the
contract price being about $4,000. If
the Sumter building is erected for ap-
proximately the same amount, there
will be about $1,000 balance for fur
niture. fixtures. and Improvement of
the grounds.

A Queer Chinese Notion.

One Of the beliefs which the Chi
nese are slowly unlearning is that
foreigners use the eyes and hearts
OF Cinnamon in compounding rare
and costly durgs, which are valuable
aids in magic. A missionery long
resident in the Celestial Kingdom,
who is now in this Countrywide Rev.
DR.. M. c. wilcox, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church-explains that
medicine and magic have for ages
gone hand in hand in China, just as
they once did in Europe. Ignorant
Cinnamon, therefore, readily believe
such tales.
The use of eyes of Chinese by for
eigners in metallurgy is described in
a work called "a Death Blow to Cor
rupt Practices" published in 1870,
According to this, when white Chris
tians had charge of a funeral they
drove all the relatives and friends
from the house. Both eyeballs were
then removed from the corpse, the
orifices being filled with plaster.
This was called Sealing the eyes for
the western Journey" BY compound
ing these eyes with a hundred
pounds of Chinese lead, this veraci-
Gus chronicle continues, eight pounds
of silver could be extracted from it.
The sight organs of any other people
were useless for this purpose.-New
York Tribune.

Sneezing.

The custom of saying God bless
you" after sneezing must be at least
as old as the fifteenth century, as q
reference to it appears in the first
edition of Caxton's Golden Legend
which broke out among the early
Christians-the result, apparently, OF
their Incorporate habits-Caxton
proceeds: I'm this manere sometyme
snesyng, the deyed; so that when
any persone was herd snesyng, anone
that were by said to hym, God helpe-
you, or Cryste helpe. and yet en-
dureth the custome." A curious sup
erstition with regard to sneezing still
fingers in the village of Devonshire.
1t has found expression in the follow
ing couplet:
Sneeze on Sunday morning fasting,
You'll enjoy your own true love to
everlasting.
In the highlands of Scotland it is
believed that a newborn child is un-
der the thrall of the fairies until it
sneezes.--London Chronicle.

His many friends wish him much
success In his new field of undertake
ing. The smiling countenance of old
Tex will be sadly missed, and Sumter
will lose one of Its most loyal citi-
zens.
The entire balcony will be reserved
for white people at the Booker T.
Washington lecture Thursday after
noon. April 18th. The expenses of
the lecture will exceed 800 and this
amount has been guaranteed by the
local committee, OF which w. T. An
drews Is chairman. The committee
has solicited no assistance from the
white people. but II does not seem
just that the negroes should bear the
entire expense of DIR. washington's s
Visit to Sumter and still set apart
about one-third of the seats in the
Opera House for the use of the white
people. Those who may wish to con-
tribute toward the expense Of the lec-
ture may leave their contributions at
Sibert's drug store.
Business is business and charity is
charity. When the attempt to mix
the two on large scale, the business
end Of the enterprise gets 1t in the
neck. The history of the Mutual Ice
Co.. furnishes proof of the above OBJ
servation and II the price Of ice is

Co.. will deserve no sympathy.
There IL no doubt about the streets

With the further remarks OF Mr.

there must be exact agreement on
the part of all judicially minded
persons, and the editorial comment
of The News Leader endorsing the
suggestion of Major Henry's name is
what might have been expected from

South Cardinals habits and tradi-

Interesting Facts
John +. Jackson Offer to Cure
Catarrth. The Medicine Costs
Nothing If They Fail.

When medicine effects cure in
9S per cent OF cases, and when we
offer that medicine on our own per-
sonal guarantee that it will cost the
user nothing if il does not cure
Catarrh, il is only reasonable that
people should believe us, or at least
put our claim To practical test
when we take all the risk. These ale
facts which we want the people of
Tazewell To substantiate. We want
them to try ReXall Mucu-Tone, a
medicine prepared froma prescription
of IA physician whose speciality was
Catarrh, and who has record of
thirty years of cures TO his credit.
We sell more bottles and receive
more good reports about Rexall
Mucu-Tone than we do of all other
catarrh remedies sold in our store,
and if more people only knew what
thoroughly dependable remedy
ReXall MucuTone is, it would be
the only catarrh medicine we would
have any demand for.
ReXall Mucu-TOne is quickly alb
sorbed and carried by the blood until
ii thoroughly disinfcets and clanses
the entire mucous membranous tract,
destroys and removes the parasites
which injure and destroy the mem

THE ANTi-SALOON LEAGUE
AND PROHIBITION

The Anti Saloon League acted
wisely in not recommending a state
wide prohibition, campaign this
year-exactly right, and the course
will be approved by the people of
the state. Local option has been sue
cessful and satisfactory, and so long
as this is the case there is no need of
switching off. No harm will be done
by waiting a year or so, and the re-
suits in Tennessee and otherSouthern
states noted. II Richmond, Peters
burg, Norfolk and other cities want
liquor sold in open bar rooms let
them have Ii. We believe in local
option except In certain extreme
cases. Let the people Iule them
selves. Prohibition should follow
