The Oldest Methodist.

Georgia has the distinction OF
claiming as citizen the oldest Meth
odist in America, in the person OF
Mrs. McE1roy, of Charleston. known
to hundreds of friends by the more
intimate title of "Granny'' McElroy,
says an Atlanta dispatch.
She is exactly 100 years old, and
has been a member of Prospect Meth
odist church 90 years. She is char
ter member of the church, and the
only charter member now living. She
Joined when she was only ten years
old, and when the church, now stand
ing close to the city and amid vii
lagos and farms, was religious land
mark in the wilderness. on the actual
outposts of civilization.
She still attends the quarterly
meetings of the church of which she
is member. and still delights to
sing the good old Methodist hymns.

South Carolina Generals.

At the opening of hostilities on
April 1914, 1861, Gen. P. G.. t.
Beauregard, of Louisiana, was ap-
pointed to command the South Caro-
lima forces in and around Charles
ton.
After the surrender of Maj. Ander-
son and the evacuation of Fort Sum-
ter, Gen. Beauregard was transferred
to Virginia and appointed to the
command of brigade of Confederate
troops. He was great strateglst
and won the title of THE Hero OF
First Manassas
Of the native South Carolinlans
who attained the rank of brigad!er
general and major general in the
Confederate service, we will flrst
mention our own we'll beloved Wade
Hampton, who rose from major gen.
eral to lieutenant, general of cavalry,
commanding all of the cavalry forces
of the Army of Northern Virginia.
Of his fame we need say nothing
here as his name has gone down in
history as being second to none in
his branch of the service, and OF his
noble deeds after the war closed we
need mention only that he was the
leader during the great effort to
shake off the rule of the Yankee car
pet Dagger and nefarious government
that was forced upon our State by the
government of the United States and
under which we were forced to live
and submit from '6S to '76, at which
time the white people arose and call
ed to the leadership Hampton, under
whom we won our second independ'
ence and finally rid the State of the
unprincipled hordes who had robbed
and misgoverned us for eight long
wears. No son of South Carolina de-
served or received greater praise
than Hampton, nor should we ever
cease to love and honor his name.
Mai. Gen. Matthew C. Butler, Of
Edgefeld. commanded a division OF
cavalry under Hampton and was one
| of the best fighters in the service

Long Range Sea Fights.

The fight in the North Sea began
twelve miles away. When the
Bleucher was struck, she was ten
miles from her English enemy. When
Won Spec and Cradock fought off
Chile, they opened fire at distance
of $4,000 yards; and Cradock had
old-fashioned, obsolete ships. If old
fashioned, obsolete ships open fire at
10000 yards, what the superdread-
noughts can do may be guessed. What
they can do, experts say frankly, is
throw a 2,000-pound projectile 70
miles with such accurate range-find-
ers that the detection will be only
twenty yards for six miles. In fact,
the improvement and change in naval
equipment has been so swift and rev.
olutionary that the life of battle
ship has been rated first rank for
only five years. In speed, in size, in
armor proof and big gun fire the

that the nations had either to fight it
out or cripple themselves financially
building bigger monsters Of the sea;
and oddly enough, the changes all
date from a little ''cheese box on a

civil war fame. From the time the

their fire cracker shots at each other,
it has been a race among the nations

clare that the big guns and speed

disputes that will be finally settled in
the present war. Neither side has

courage of both sides has been mag
niicent-almost terrible, but speed
and the big guns have won.-Review

1t seems to be the desire of the
general assembly to do something to-
ward making the prohibition law
really prohibit. With this idea in
view, why does not the general as
sembly start the thing right be re-
pealing the gallon-a-month law? The
people have voted for Statewide pro-
shibition. 1t is TO be. presumed that
they want Statewide prohibition.
The general assembly would be en-
tirely justified in repeating the law,
allowing anyone to order gallon a
month. This law does more than
anything else to prevent the enforce
.ment of prohibition. 1t opens an
avenue for blind tigers to get their
goods. They can order whiskey in
any quantity by simply having it
shipped to different addresses. And
the officers cannot touch the whiskey
thus ordered. The house now wants
to grant a $4,000 appropriation to
enforce the law. A much smaller
sum would be needed, if any at all,
if the law allowing any whiskey at all
to be. shipped into the State were TAX
en- off the books. The legislature ap-
pears to be very careful in trying to
do nothing the people, don't want
them to do; then let the legislature
be honest about it. The people have
voted for prohibition; gentlemen give
the people prohibition:

q The fact that President Wilson, IN
his speech-making campaign for pre-

indicate that the popular belief that

A Cargo of Skulls.

With mileage behind her equal to
twice around the world, and with
three years seafaring since she left
Southampton for the South Seas,
the schooner yacht, Mana, Capt Har-
,ry Gillian, came through the heads
bearing as cargo many crates and
boxes containing skulls and other
grues6me remains of former resi-
dents of Easter island in the south
Pacific, says a San Francisco dispatch
of January 21.<
The yacht is owned by r. S. Rout-
ledge, of London, who has been col
lecting anthropological specimens for
the British museum. Accompanied
by his wife, the scientist arrived here
by steamer from Honolulu two weeks
ago and will go home to England on
the Mana when he can pass through
the Panama canal.
In February, 1913, the Mana, regis.

and his wife on board and a crew oi

they came, via Magellan, using sails

OLD TIME REMEDIES.
Old Time Folks We're Foolish About
Patent Medicines like Folks Now.

Because Americans buy and use
such large quantities of patent medi;
cines that many manufacturers have
made large fortunes in the business
one might naturally conclude that
there is a great deal physically wrong
with the people of this country and
that this is the age of patent medl-
cines, but it appears that secret medi-
cal preparations were made and vend-
ed in large quantities many centuries
ago. Indeed a few of their secret
remedies became so popular and
we're considered of so much value to
ailing humanity that the reignlng
monarchs in past. centuries bought
the secrets from their discoverers.
paying them large sums of money
It has been found, for example, that
King Louis XIV, of France, paid
handsome sums for three such prep
arations, namely Helvetius' ipecac
remedy. Glauber's kermis mineral
and Talbir's cinchono remedy.
It would seem that some of the
early secret remedies must have pos
sessed some merit for some that were
patented as early as the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries are now
standard remedies, being highly es-
teemed and sold in large quantities.
An interesting and unusual fact in
connection with some of the med1-
cines which made their debut as pat.
ent remedies is that they are now
held in good repute by the practiclng
physicians who prescribe them for
their patients. Among them are
Fowler's solution of potassium arse
nate, which was first made by an
apothecary named Fowler. who kept
the remedy a secret and refused to
admit that it contained arsenic. An
other is paregoric, which was origi-
mated by DR.. LIE Mort, of the Leyden
University, and still another is Do
ver's powders, first prepared by
Thomas Dover, a doctor and pirate.
Common bicarbonate of soda, which
is universally used in cooking, was
originated under the name of "uni-
versal salz," by Berlin apothecary.
Although all modern physicians
look with contempt on. patent medi-
cines some of the earliest of the pre-
parations were introduced by physi-
clans. For example, one Doctor
Gregory, a professor of medicine at
Edinburgh, originated compound of
rhubarb; Doctor Turner, a distin-
guished surgeon of London, intro
duced an ointment -calamine ONT
Doctor Sydenham, not
ed English physician, brought out
wine of opium. Pathfinder.
