South Carolina and Divorces.
The fact that a divorce cannot bo ob¬
tained In South Carolina is repm-ded by
many jreople as being creditable to that
rtatc, but a northern woman, writing
from Aiken to the Pittsburg, thinks that
it is quite the reverse, and that South
Carolina ought to make hade and fait
into line with other states which provide
for 4I divorces She .says; It makes the
blood run cold to think of the cruelties
that can bo perpetrated under such a
system, and to contemplate the martyr¬
dom comprehended in such a creed,
When a woman inaitioa here, and makes
Imvoc of her dreams of happiness, she has
no hope of freedom or release Rive by
death. If her husband should prove to
be a crnel tyrant, she h(J3 no recourse in
a law of divoi ce. When wo think of such
a condition of things we wonder what
has become of the revolutionary blood
of South Carolina's patriotic sires; wlmt
has become of the. spirit of resistance to
tyranny that animated her heroes of '76,
what has become of the fiery heroism
that mado the name of South Carolina
famous throughout tho world. It is on¬
ly to be understood by the thought tliat
women have always excelled in the lino
of martyrdom, and have had the doctrine
of submission so sedulously ground into
them by tho church that they look to
heaven only for relief or release instead
of lo any exercise of their own powers
or efforts.”
This view will not find many support¬
ers iu South Carolina. The people of
that state appeal* to be satisfied without
any divorce laws, and so long as they are
there is no reason why others should
complain. They no doubt congratulate
themselves that they lmvo escaped the
evi’s incident to tho loo-o divorce laws
of other states, such as Pennsylvania and
Illinois, whore tho stability of society is
being disturbed by them. Recognizing
the danger to be apprehended from these
laws, they aro afraid that if they should
open tho gates to divorce at all, they
woula huvo to open them too wide.
There is no* occasion for concern in
in regard to this mutter iu South Carolina
What is needed is a determined fight for
stricter divorce laws elsewhere,—Sav.
News.
Col. E. C. Mncheu has good reason to
he proud and happy. Tho Covington
and Macon railroad is finished and he is
responsible for it! Few people know the
difficulties uuder which he labored in
carrying this ente:prise through. Besides
the natural obstacles and the trouble re¬
quired to raise tho money, he had
to faco a variety of obstructions such as
few men could havo contended with sue
cessfully. The progress of the railroad
was impeded by over two hundred and
fity law* suits and sixty-five injunctions.
But Col. Machen made liis way through
the courts os steadily as he cut the path
of his railroad through tho Georgia hills
Nothing stopped him, and he never seem¬
ed so buoyant and confident of suece&s
as when difficulties clustered thickest
about him. At last he “he got thero.”
The Covington and Macon railroad is n
monument to his pluck. Col. Machen
deserves the many congratulations which
its completion has brought upon him.

“The Madonna at the Tub.”
of whom Mrs. Fbelps heaRh writes, was a genu¬
ine specimen of and strength.
She doubtless heeded the warning of her
predecessors, and understood and appre¬
ciated the matchless qualities of Dr.
Pierce's Favoiite Prescription, which re¬
moves and cures so many ailments pecul¬

ing tonio ; it imparts strength to Hit

greatest earthly boon, being nnequaied

It oright to be a matter of universal
regre tthat the John Hopkins Uni verity
one of the noblest of American
educational institutions, is financially
embarassci The university has an ample
endowment but the bulk o* it is in Balti¬
more and Ohio railroad stock. So long
as John W. Garrett lived this stock
paid handsome dividends aud supplied
the university with ample means. For
several years past, however, the road has
not prospered and, con cqucntly, the
John Ilopk’ns trustees find themselves
cramped for funds. Friends of the uni¬
versity tide are endeavoring to raise §100,000
to it over the present trouble. Bal¬
timore ought to stand by her university.
A fine opportunity is now presented for

tiic following statement
“1 aid first cousin of the late Ex^Governor Alex

CANCER been a sufferer t rom a cancer on
my face, which grew worse
until the discharge of matter became profuse and
very offensive. I became thoroughly disgusted with
blood purifiers and pronounced them humbugs, as
1 had trkd many without relief.
Finally I was induced to use Botanic Blood Balia,
(B. B. B.) The ofTensive discharge decreased at
once and the hardness disappeared. It became less
and less in size until nothing remains except ascir
I gained flesh and strength, and all who have seen
me bear testimony. 1 cannot say too much in its
praise.”
A. H. Morris, Pino Bluff, Aik, writes:
“Hot Springs failed entirely to cure roe of several
terrible, indolent running ulcers on mv legs, with
which I have been troubled for many years. Sever¬
al doctors also attempted to cure roe but fai led. I
HOT SPRINGS have only used a few
bottles of B. B. B. t
(made in Atlanta, Gad and the effect has been truly
mag! si,as they have all healed and I am cured after
everything failed. M y general health is also improv¬
ing, appetite and digestion good. I sleep soundly,
and never felt better. Doctors told mo that 1 could
not be cured.
I refer to every merchant or professional man of
Pine Bluff.
