Eniroit tTANDAim ; Here are
'hree innoyations I have discovered
in fonth Carolina, hicu I tfioh to
u !l your aderi :
1. The State Board of Medical
Enrmuera have just completed an
exaniinn'ion at Columbia; some Cfiy
ot n ore doctors, with licen cf, were
or.lered to do bnuiness. Aming
.hti'e ij a ''new woina"," i.olin color
b.u in nmbi ion. Her name is
LbCian li 13:on (. uniu and color),
0 .e tf the ex mining physicians
old me thii morning toat she was
is well np on the medical science
us any young physicsn he eer saw,
ai d wi.s bi tter informed and seemed
better educated than many of the
other applicants So pbysicianes
Luci.m 1J Brown, of Charleston, is
Sjuth Carolina's Drat colored female
doctor, 'and she doesu'i ride a bicycle
either. She graduated from the
Wonau's College cf Pennsylvania,
and is said to be very ambitious.
2. la Orangeburg co'inty some
dr.ys ao, the local paper auoounced
"a tnun wis assaulted in his Own
houue a id dangercusly shot in the
yeatibu'e." That's a new ay H
shoj'inrr, and, physiologically speak
iutj, must Le a dangerous pli.ee for
tho bull to suite.
3. The rj;impterppr announces
that a few days ugo "a mn was
al.oc in thi P.oidence section."
Now j ist where thesi two vulnerable
p.ir's if ihe bumau frame are locat
ed I am unable to tell;- but if we are
to be eho at all, we prefer the old
j't e and p'aces. It makes oue Bad
a I'd horrified to think of being Bhot
it: liu 'vestibule" or "providence
eeiit'on."
Fui.ally, Mr. Elitor, let us hope
ia if in the rapid fctrides the medical
pr f '.siou ia making we may jet
ke3w the geography of a fellow's
own body,
No lung iiffords me more pleasure
th -.ii to sit down for an hour and
lis en to my good friend, Dr. Iler
rir.g, or these unknown localities
he solvod more diffisult mystries,

As Mr. Thomas 0 Johnson wae

usual sifted near the offke, about
8 o'clock last Thu-eday, suddenly
took fright and broke and away and
ran vio'ently, turning np Spring
strest to the doctors home,
i he horfe was tot hurt at all bo'
the hut-gy was dcuio'ishtd. It ii
not certainly known that the horse
tj Bright at the rider for he hat
pat j d the fame horfe a number of
M'n-ea without attracting hia atten

....Other Eyes.
Our I' are Just as strong is
they -were fifty years ego, when
we have causa to use them.
But we have less aud less cause
to praise ourselves, siucc others
do the prfising, and we are
more thnu willing for you to see
us through other eyes. This
is how we look to S. F. Eoyce,
wholesale and retail druggist,
Duluth, Minn, who after a
quarter of a oj-ntury of obser
vation writes:
"I have sold Ayer' Sarsapa
rilla for inmo than 35 years,
both at wholesale and retail,
ntid have never heard anything
but words of praise from my
customers; not a single com
plaint has ever reached me. I
believe Aycr's Snrsaparilla to
ha the host blood purifier, that
has been Introduced to the gen
eral public." This, from
man who has sold thousands of
dozens of Aycr's Sauoparilla,
ia strong testimony. But it
only echoes popular sentiment
the world over, which has,
'Nothinz but words of praise
for Aycr'a Sarsaparllta."

At 11.30 o'clock, as announced,
the closing e xerciee of the Cone rd
High School were held 10 thecour
house.
The stage was beantifalW deco
rated with flowers and evergreens,
with the baek gronud taately f a
:ooned with variegated fabrics.
Prof. Llolland Thompson an
aounced the trm sphere of the
school as that which its name indi
cates and introluc-.d Mr. William
Henry Gibson as declaimer, whos
subject was " fhe good of C.imbing."
The speaker wis deservedly ap
plauded. Misa Mabel Bickle Means
recited 'A llevolutionory Oirl"
(Jennie McNeill). This recitatioa
afforded intense delight to the spell
bound audience. Kichard Monis m
King declaimed "Opinions Stronger
than Armies" and shtred well in
the showering of fl iwers. Francis
Dnnreath Leslie recited
'Why Siion'd th Spirit of Mortal
Be Proud ?'' t-:i i wrappsd attention
and closed with the cimilimr-nta of
the audisnc? exp esse! by a great
round of cheers.
Augustus Henry Jarret touched
he nitiional pride in a declamation,
The Sauth."
The bestowal of bauqieta was pro
fuse and the pjrformars have fall
aBurauoes that their tffjrts were
luccesBfal and quite creditable.
Dr. Elwin A Alderman was then
mtrduced and the audience could
feel that it was quaffing intellectual
draughts from tha fountain head of
the State's educational 8jste.ii.
Coming as be does as the presi
dent cf our State Uniyeraiiy, a posi
tion above which there ia no sbp in
be State for him to take, it waa ex.
leedicgly pleaBint to hear hitn dwell

',0 Stuta at,d Nationul greatness and
0 review the "Relation of the
Ohristim State to the Child."
Said he, the a'titnde toward chil
dren ia the epitome of a nation's ad
anceuient.
We cir.not attempt to give a
lynppsis tf this great speech lest we
nar-atii beauty and its grandeur
There waa no orator; says that
ot -ifiie grander type which flows
along wi'h the outpouring of
bought made eloquent by a know
