Goinu Back a Iona Way.

Pick up any peerage book and you
will find it bristling with ancestral
names whose presence is much more
difficult to explain than that of the fly
in the amber. And as you descend in
the social scale the fictiOns multiply
from the pedigrees of the landed gentry
to the family trees proudly cherished in
hundreds of middle class homes. But
these lineages, aspiring as they are,
are Of mushroom growth compared
with many that are claimed with seem
ing honesty. At Mostyn hall you may
see a vellum roll, seven yards long,
headed by no less famous an ancestor
than adam, son of Cod Another
pedigree at the college Of heralds
starts thus modestly with Adam and
the garden Of Eden, and Wales has
many a family tree which traces de-
scent with unerring hand from the
same remote origin.

Buried In Secret.
Two ancient kings were buried in &c

Two ancient kings were buried in Sc
cret. Attila, king Of the HU1s, after
his siege Of Rome. died in Hungary
A. D. 453. His soldiers, DESTROYS of
giving their great leader a right royal
burial, inclosed his body first in a
casket of gold, this in one of silver and
this in one Of lead, and transported it
into a desert. There slaves were Sc
lected, and under the direction Of men
who were sworn to secrecy they dug
the grave of the dead monarch. When
this was accomplished no traces of the
spot were left. The slaves were all
cruelty slain.
Alaric, king Of the Goths, the cele-
brated conqueror of Rome, died when
with his army at Cozenza, south Italy.
His men turned the course of a river,
inferred the body Of their sovereign,
with much treasure, in it's bed and
restored the stream to it's channel.
No man has ever lighted on the rest
ing place of either of these kings, who
in this respect resemble Moses, of
whom it is written, mo man knoweth
Of his sepulcher unto this day."

ALL MY PlMPLES GONE
Girl Tells How a BIotchy Skin Was
CIeansed BY Simple Wash.

'I was ashamed Of my face" writes
Miss Minnie Packard of Altamahaw,
N. C. at was all full of pimples and
scars, but after using D. D. D. Pre-
scription l can say that now there js
no sign of that Eczema, and that was
three years ago."
D. D. D. has become so famous as
n cure and instant relief in Eczema
and all other serious skin diseases,
that its value is sometimes overlooked
in clearing up rash, pimples, black
heads, and all other minor forms Of
skin impurities.
The fact is, that while D. D. D. Is
so penetrating that it strikes to the
very root of Eczema or any other seri-
Gus trouble, the soothing Oil of Winter
green, Thymol and other ingredients
are so carefully compounded there is
no wash for the skin made that can
compare with this great household
remedy for every kind of skin trouble.
D. D. D. is pleasant to use, perfectly
harmless to the most delicate skin,
and absolutely reliable. A 25-cent
bottle will give you positive proof of
the wonderful effectiveness of this
great remedy.

Died From Bad Writing.

German handwriting attains a de-
gree of ELIGIBILITY, unknown in Latin
script. A tragic instance of this fact
was afforded by the death Of Johann
Bacher, an Austrian musician of the
last century. Bacher spent most Of
his leisure for fifteen years in compil-
ing a history Of the Viennese opera.
When the manuscript was completed
he submitted it to the Imperial acad-
envy, which had promised to publish it.
In three months 1t was returned with
a statement that no member Of the
academy could decipher it. Bacher
then sought to have it copied. but no
copyist capable Of deciphering it was
to be found. AS last resource he de-
termined to dictate his work to an
amanuensis only to discover that the
greater part Of the manuscript was
illegible even to himself. The thought
Of his wasted years Of labor unhinged
his brain. and in a fit OF depression he
committed suicide.

WITHIN THE TOWN,

MIR. w. II. Herndon is building a
neat brick home on his West Madison
street property.
1t is a pretty generally recognized
fact that no town in the state has a
livelier. more reliable or progressive
set of dry goods merchants than York
vile.
AS usual there was a large audi
ence out last Wednesday night at the
English Opera company entertain
ment. While it is fact that the per-
formance was fine, it would not be
fair to say that everybody was pleas
ed. Among those present were quite
number who made no pretense Of
understanding operate music, and
throughout the evening they were in
the position of waiting for the show
to begin" But it was a fine company
Of first-class artists, and the perform
ance was creditable to all concerned.

tion by those who appreciate the new,

vertised on the fourth page. This ware

Pension For J. n. Tillman-Senator
Tillman has refrained from discussing
any phase of the situation concerning
the denial, by James II. Tillman, his
nephew, of certain statements, as to
the latter's physical condition, attrib-
uted to the senator by northern news
papers. To all inquiries, he has re-
piled that he did not care to discuss
the matter.
However, James H. Tillman will not
die in want, no matter what his con-
dition may be at this time. He Is to go
on the government pension rolls In
the near future, unless the senate kills
a bill that has already passed the
house, providing that he shall hereaf-
ter receive pension at the rate OF $50
per month.
On May IL last, Congressman Pat
terson introduced house bill number
25,S65, which authorizes the secretary
of the interior, to place on the pension
rolls the name of James H. Tillman,
late colonel, First regiment, South Car
olina Volunteers, infantry, in the war
with SPAIN" This BILL 1t was learned
today, recently passed the house and
now awaits action in the senate. While
It is not known positively what action
will be taken by the senate on the
measure, 1t Is hardly probable that
Senator Tillman would fail to help 1t
along there. If 1t receives a satisfac-
tory vote, James H. Tillman will re-
ceive the amount set out, $50 a month,
as lor~ as he lives.-Washingto spe-

Judge Williams expects to be prepared

obstructed right of way in Yorkville

One successful industry always
brings others. The establishment Of
the local creamery has already created
thousands of dollars worth of business
that would not have come otherwise.
Sounds a bit exaggerated; but facts
can be produced to sustain the asser-
tion.
The United States comptroller OF the
currency reported not long ago that the
deposits in the national banks Of the
country decreased from November 10
to January 7, nearly s200,000,000. Most
of the decrease was In the banks or
New York city, and among the &C
counting theories that have been ad-
vanced, one Of the most plausioie IS
that the money was withdrawn from
national banks to strengthen state
banks. However, this may be, no sim
liar trouble has been experienced In
this section. The banks Of York coun-
ty hold great deal more deposits now
than they did in November.

VIRTUE OF VACCINATION.

There are not so many people now
a-days who oppose vaccination as
there used to he. The public generally
Is learning, and soon the last vesGge
Of opposition will have passed away.
This story from the Columbia State Of
this morning furnishes most con-
vincing illustration of the faith that
some physicians have in what they are
preaching as to vaccination:
DR.. G. Fred Williams returned last
night from North, where he acted In
part as undertaken, as grave digger
and as priest at the burial OF negro
who had died unfriended and almost
deserted on account of smallpox.
DR.. II. A. Jones of North cared for
the negro in his illness of two weeks
and DR.. Williams highly commends
the work of this devoted physician
Food was sent from the home Of Dr.
Jones for the negro and his family
The home of the negro was isolated,
and the members Of his family were
vaccinated as soon as a diagnosis OF
the case was made and the disease
was pronounced to be smallpox. None
Of them has as yet evidenced symp-
toms Of the disease.
The negro was a porter on the Sea-
hoard and there is no telling where
he contracted the disease. His name
was Vastine Brimfield. He died
Wednesday morning at 2 o'clock. All
day DR.. Jones endeavored to get men
to bury the negro, but the community
seemed to be in mortal terror. DR..
Williams was communicated with. He
went to North on the afternoon train.
A sad state Of affairs was revealed.
No one in North would assist DR..
Jones to bury the negro.
DR.. williams and DR.. Jones. with
their own hands placed the body In
the coffin and placed 1t upon wagon
IT was with great difficulty that the
wagon was obtained. No one would
show them the way to the negro bury
ing ground. fully mile and half
away Finally II. d. Tyler volunteer
ed his services and assisted the two
physicians to take the body to the
graveyard.
The terror of the negroes was so In
tense that they even refused to dig
grave, although the body was over
mile from the burial place, and the
two physicians and Mr.. Tyler there IN
the night dug a grave and placed the
coffin therein.
DR.. Williams is grateful to Dr.
Jones and to Mr.. Tyler.
The fact that none of the members
of the negro's family has developed
smallpo~ seems to be giving the peo-
ple of the neighborhood more conf
dence I'm the efficiency OF vaccination.

ing testimonial of the substantial
workmanship of the solid old pioneers.
1t was built of logs hewn out with the
broadaxe, long before the days or the
steam saw mill. Timber was abun-
dant in those days, and when the OLD
folks set in to build house they
commenced by selecting suitable pine
trees, which had to be large, straight
and smooth. The logs were hewn
down to a thickness Of about six inches
and they had to be about eighteen or
twenty inches in width. The roof was
made of handmade heart shingles, fas-
tened to the heavy sheeting by means
of wooden pins, and 1t was seldom
that an iron nail found it's way into
any part of the structure. The chin
neys were made of stone and brlck,
and that such a structure should still
be there after a hundred years or SER
