Thursday, January 4, 1894. Florence, S. C, seems fated, flames have again visited it. The Congress convened yesterday. It is thought that the session will be a long one.

With this .issue the Advanxe onens its twenty fourth volume. As 1 we glance 'over its many pages 1 are gratified to see with what stead fast purpose it has been devoted to the welfare of our own people. The fw-st interests of Wilson county has ever been its aim. Although at times its editors may have erred, their er ors were of the head and not of the heart. The judgment of no man is infala ble. We will therefore attempt no excuse for our predecessors, rather let us throw the cloak of charity over their short comings. In the future, as in the past, it shall be our endeavor to issue a pa per that can be read by every man, woman and child who has an interest in the up-building 5f our county. We wish to make the Advance a home paper, a paper for. quiet read ing at the fireside. We wish to. have the news of the neighborhood, and that we may get this fresh, we desire our friends, in the country, to drop in and see us when they come to town and tell us the happenings in their section. If you don't come send, us a note and we will be under -obligations to you. In the political field this year there - will be many sharp fights. Many changes are looked for in the elec tion next fall. Already the leaders are beginning to cast "anxious eyes oyer the field of conflict. Little however, is visible. A thick mist bangs over the prospect like a veil, ana no man uare preui'-i. wuai. ture will bring forth. The time is fast approaching when ''brother shall rise up against brother, and father against son," and no man may be certain of the action of another. All that we can say as to our own position is, that we believe m Demo cracy and honest government. Give them good men and honest govern ment and the people will always do their part. On the other hand, dis honesty and fraud will sooner or la ter recoil upon the head of him who pTactices it. The people will bear mkich, but there comes a time when even the worm will turn. Of that time, we say to those in authority, beware. . . ' OUR AUGUST NAME Isj FORGED. Possibly it never before occurred to' the njind of mortal man to take ur 1 r 1 1 . vain tne name 01 a luwiy- i-uuuur editor. This, however, was done ast week in our town. A young man of commanding physique, soft speech and winning manner, entered our sanctum and told us a touching tale of woe. He finally said that he wished to get up a business directory and wished to get us to do the print ing, which we, being in a generous mood, agreed to do at P. O. per cent, profit. The gent then left us and proceeded to interest the merchants of the town in his scheme. He re turned in a day or two and reported that the work was ready and asked us to proceed with the printing. We were in our gypsy mood that day, and declared that unless our palm were crossed with silver, the plan would not work. The poor fellow was sad but rallied to the emergency and said he would fix that part and eft us. His next move was a visit to 1 . Branch's bank, where he borrowed a hahdfull of counter checks. From there he proceeded to the Brigg's House where, providing himself with new pen he , begun a few les sons in penmanship. The result was dozen checks on Branch & Co s. bank, signed W. L. Cantwell, each being drawn for $15.00. With these bogus checks he began a second tour of the town, giving various reasons why he could not get them cashed at the bapk, and asking the merchants to advance him the money. He scc ceeded in collecting four or five, and with the proceeds boarded the train and departed for "new fields and pastures green." We did not know that we had such good credit. THE METEOR. The meteor, which recently ap peared, is creatine a great deal of alarm among our country friends They look upon it as an omen of evila forerunner of some great ca lamity. Although we do not - put much faith in "signs and wonders." we ad mit that we may be wrong, and that this unusual visitor may have been sent to warn us of the uncertainty of life. If that be true it may be well for many of us to turn oyer a new leaf and try in the luture to do better. If the promises in the Bible, in re gard to the last being made first, are to be fulfilled, we feel assured that the day of prosperity for the editor is now approaching. For all time he has been the last man to receive his pay and if things are to be changed he should surely be first under the new dispensation. A Discriminating Tariff. A discriminating tariff is what the country needs, or what used to be styled "a judicious tariff." Free trade demands that coal and iron-ore shall not be protected. Dispatch. . The Dispatch voices the same sel fish sentiment that has always created discord. It the coal and iron fields of Virginia should be protected, then why may not every other industry in the country have equal protection. It appears to us that "Discrimina tion" is actly the word that was not used in the tariff plank of the Dem ocratic platform.

Clide brings the news that two sailors of the Henry Crosby were shot by San Domingo soldiers. The Henry Crosby landed near the port and lowered a small boat to send ashore to make inquiry as to what location to land. When near the shore a troop of soldiers ran down and fired on them. One sailor threw up 'his hands and fell. The second vollev from the soldiers wounded the first mate. The sailors then rowed for their lives towards their own boat. , The San Domingo officials had in formation of an intended invasion by rebels from Turk's Island, Jamica or Hayti and were so sure that the - in vaders were coming that they did not stop to investigate, although the Crosby was flying the stars and stripes in plain vies.

Mr. Oldham and Senator K anno in. The Raleigh New Observer-Chron-icle of Wednesday says : j It is to be regretted that Mr. Old- ham should have made a tender to divide the pay of the office of custo-' dian with Senator Ransom in case of his appointment as postmaster of Wilmington. It was a very improper proposition to make. We doubt if. Mr. Oldham would have made it.on ! consideration, for we feel assured that uv. .v . - j he was proposing a bargain or un- . derstanaing tnai 11 wou.u nave uccu ai;ir Hishnnorable in either to have entered into. The truth is that fre quently there is too much of "consid eration" leading to appointments arid endorsements for office. Kissing al ways goes by favor. That is human natureand it is seldom that merit un supported by other considerations re ceives due recognition. One pushes his friends forward, without weighing, in nice scales the question of merit Indeed, the great contests are always made over the Drorhotion of "friends."' We have even heard; it intimated tnat,w, some Democrat who was not lavor-. able to this or that great man ought not to be thought of m connection with office. . If a gentleman disdains to ally himself with any clique, he puts' himself outside the pale of re cognition. It is because appoint ments have so commonly turned on such considerations that persons who do not distinguish between the permissible and the corrupt motive, sometimes fall into the error that Mr. Oldham has made. It is not only unconventional to offer a man money for his influence, but it is a crime. The line must be drawn somewhere, and it is drawn at "a thing" of value. Favor and affection, friendly interest, reward for past services, hope of fu ture work all these are conventional, and therefore permissible ; but a con sideration partaking of the nature of "value" makes the understanding corrupt. Mr. Oldham s otter to divide a sal ary, while doubtless often paralleled in loose circles of large cities, shocks the moral sense and was inexcusable. And yet we do not think that Mr. Oldham meditated corruption. Rheumatism Cured in a Day. "Mystic Cure" for Rheumatism and Neuralgia, radically cures in one to three days.

Hood's Pills cure liver ills, consti pation, billiousness, jaundice, sick headache, indigestion. Journalism in Servia is a peculiar institution. The Schumadiski List, which has the reputation of being the leading newspaper in the kingdom, came out the other day with the fol lowing announcement on its first page : "Owing to the intolerable laziness of our editor-in chief, Mr. Zrak, who spends his nights in feast ing and sleeps the whole day through, our number this week is only half its usual size."

POISONING POPULAR IN INDIA. Where It Is ConTenient to Dispose of an Enemy Without Suspicion. "Althoug-h the English government keeps strict surveillance over its sub jects in India, it does not seem able to Btop the wholesale poisonings going1 on among the natives there every year," says William Eckstein, the Lon don iron manufacturer, who was in the 'city recently, says the Pittsburg-h Dis patch. "It seems innate in the native Hindu to poison if he desires to get rid of some one who is in his way. The poisons wmcn the natives use produce h same ptoms as the poiSOI1 of a snake. The victim dies suddenly and ,is cremated within an hour or two after death, so there is no opportunity .of investigating- the cause. The pois oner, to further deceive, usually makes a cut in the leg or arm with a knife, such as the fangs of the snake would make, so that it is difficult to distin guish a victim of the snake from the .victim of the poisoner. There are ,thousands of deaths put on the govern imcnt registers every year that are at tributed to the bites of snakes. I'll 'venture to say that but a small per centage of these are from that cause. '.In traveling throus-h India it is rarelv that a snake will attack, for as soon.as fit hears anyone approaching it glides ' iaway. Europeans are seldom bitten 'on account of the boots and leggings ithey wear, but the natives, s. who go 'barefooted, occasionally step upon a reptile which strikes them, and death results in a few hours. "The English government oilers" six (pence a head.for every poisonous snake killed in India. I know of some places where natives went into the business of breeding cobras for the purpose of 'getting this bounty and made a pood !business out of it. In lower liengal, where snakes are held to be sacred, iyou find them in profusion, for it is considered sacrilege to kill tnem.' I (remember a house in which I resided !in that district in which it was usual jto kill one or two cobras a day. Snakes ihad got between the walls of sun-dried brick, and once in awhile would steal out of a hole like a rat." HEAVY-WEIGHT SAINTS. now They Are. Eleyated in St. Fanl's . Cathedral, London. A curious sight may be witnessed any day in St. Paul's cathedral just now, says the Westminster Gazette, namely, the preparations for hoisting into position the colossal statues of saints and fathers of the church which are being placed in the eight niches round the drum of the dome in the in terior of the church. To raise a block of stone weighing over a ton to a height of one hundred and thirty-five feet above the pavement is no easy matter. Perilous-looking platforms resting on strong joist and supported by scaffolding poles at daring angles. which are marvels of skillful construc tion, are erected across a narrow seg ment of the dome alongside the niche to be filled. The saint, divided into three pieces, each weighing over a ton, and carefully padded round to guard against any injury to the walls or rail ing of the whispering gallery as he ascends, is attached to a pulley com posed of several thicknesses of rope, which, passing through a window high up In the dome, is raised or lowered by a windlass worked by four men in the stone gallery outside. St. Chrysostom was safely landed in his aerial niche .about a year ago.. St. Basil is already in position, but awaits the finishing touches of the sculptor, Mr. fcWoodington. St. Augustine of Hippo is now going up in sections, and a fourth father or doctor of the church is expected aloft before Christmas. The saints are riveted into "the wall behind by iron clamps or stanchions, so that, as Canon hcott Holland told the workers and voluntary assistants of St. Paul's at their annual dinner on St. Paul's day, nothing short of an earthquake could dislodge them. VALUABLE WASTE PAPER. Flow Much of the Photographers' Nitrate of Silver Is Ee-Collccted. "Refiners of nitrate of silver for the nse of photographers," said one of this profession to a correspondent of the Minneapolis Tribune, "have agents traveling constantly about the country collecting the waste clippings of sensitized paper that accumulate in every photograph gallery. They buy all they can find, and pay for it in new nitrate, allowing the photographer a good round price for his waste. The waste is shipped to the refiners, where the nitrate in the paper is separated from it uy chemical process ana pre pared for market again. This re-re fined nitrate is as good as it was orig' inally, and is sold for just as much. The refiners, of course, make a big profit out of the waste, and the pho tographer is able to get a good supply of material for the scraps that would otherwise be of no use to him. "When one thinks of the great num ber of photograph galleries and the studios in the country, and the fact that the waste paper of them is all carefully gathered by the refiners at a price that will average one dollar a pound, he may get some idea of the proportions of a business that is utter ly unknown outside of the persons di rectly Interested. Not only the scraps of silver-sensitized paper,' but those of the paper treated with solutions of gold, are eagerly sought by the re' finers, and the photographer is always very glad to exchange his accumula tion of, to him, worthless waste for a neat stock of valuable nitrate."

People often wonder why a hen does not fall off her perch when she goes to sleep. . The fact is she can not. As long as a hen is standing up" or walking about the tendons pf her toes are relaxed, but by a ver$ curi ous arrangement, a natural mechani cal grip, the moment she sits 1 down on her perch the act oi bending the knee joint tightens the toe sinews and they are drawn taut, thus clasping the foot around the perch with a vice like grip. She can only loosen it by rising, and that is the reason why a hen or bird that has been frozen to death is found firmly fixed upon the perch. Hens or birds that die in convulsions stand up or try to fly, and so fall, but a bird that has been frozen slowly to death remains on the perch.

The writer is an early riser, and before daylight breaks the darkness of the east his eyes scan the heavens. The same phenomenon as was seen on the 20th of December was observed by the writer in 1 S9 1 , while sitting in the veranda of a. friend in Fayetteville. At about 7:30 p. m. on that date a meteor of unusual bril- iancy spanned the northern heavens, and with its mitre head toward the earth, it assumed a zig-zag form and remained distinctly visible for twelve minutes. There is no need cf alarm, yet we had better be prepared ; then it matters not. G. A. Hough. Mrs. Mary E.

If you are afflicted with Scrofula, Catarrh, Rheumatism, Dyspepsia, Eczema, Running Sores, Tumors, or any other blood disease, be assured that it pays to use AYER'S Sarsaparilla, and AYER'S only. AYER'S Sarsaparilla can always be depended upon. It does not vary. It is always the same in quality, quantity, and effect. It is superior in combination, proportion, appearance, and in all that goes to build up the system weakened by disease and pain. It searches out all impurities in the blood and expels them by the natural channels. AYER'S SARSAPARILLA Prepared by Dr. 3. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass. Has cured, others, -will fcure yod vV. P.
