Death of Dr. A R. Royal.
Abbeville was shocked from cen¬
tre to circumference, on last Friday
afternoon about 2 o’clock when the
news spread over tho town, as if by
electricity, that Dr. Koval had drop¬
ped dead at the City Drug Store.
Distress and confusion, at once,
prevailed over the entire comma-
city.
He had not been feeling well for
a day or two, and complained of a
pain about the heart, and of a pain
in the head, which impaired his
hearing some. He did not succumb
to these troubles however and no
one thought much about them, lie
had some friends with him for din-
ner that day, and while lie did not
eat heartily, he chatted pleasantly,
and had not returned to his office
but a short time, and while sitting
in conversation with Mr. John Ew-
ing fell suddenly over on him and
expired in a few minutes. Doctors
Googe and Crawford were immedi¬
ately summoned and upon an exam¬
ination pronounced it heart failure.
Dr. ltoyal was born and reared in
Worth county and was forty-two
years old. He obtained a fairly
i good education and commenced the
J of medicine when quite 1 a
3’ 0un § man, and graduated at the
Atlanta Medical College, and after
practicing a few years attended a
medical college in New York and
obtained a diploma there. Heprac-
ticed for several hears in Irwin
county, at Crisp, from which place
he moved to Abbeville twelve years
ago. Aside from being a skillful
physician lie was a great factor in
the building of the town. There is
scarce ]y au enterprise in the town
but that he was in some way instru¬
mental in its promotion.
Iiis big heart, liis magnanimous
disposition, his honesty and integ¬
rity and Jiis ability won for him a
large practice and friends innumer¬
able. He was truly a physician alter
the “Good. Samaritan” order. He
would buy medicine for the poor,
and in many instances he was known
to visit the sick carrying in one
hand his medicine case in the other
something for them to eat.
Dr. Royal seemed to be conscious
for many months of his approaching
death, and was prepared for it. For
some time his life lias been one of a
true Christian. He was president
of the Epworth League at the time
of his death and manifested great
interest in Christian work.
The Masons took in charge the
burial and on Saturday evening laid
him to rest by the side of his second
wife in Stubbs cemetery. At the
Methodist church where the funeral
ceremonies were conducted by his
pastor, Rev. W. W. Stewart, the
house could not hold the people and
the largest funeral possession ever
seen in Abbeville followed his re¬
mains to the grave.
Thus has passed away a good man,
a true friend, a noble character,
whose place will be hard to fill.
The people mourn his loss wherever
he is known. He leaves a wife and
several children.—Abbeville Chron¬
icle, 30th ult.
Dr. Royal was a brother of Prof.
W. J. Royal, of this county, who
has had to mourn the loss of a dear
sister and brother within the past
month. His many relatives and
friends deeply sympathise with him
in his double affliction.

A recent compilation shows that
the year 1808 was notable for the
organization of more and larger
trusts than were ever before formed
in this country in a single year.
Platforms declaim against them, and
laws professing to prohibit them
have been passed by congress and
nearly all the state legislatures,
the trusts continue a conquering
march that threatens to overspread
all business throughout the country.
Their achievements driving the year
just past have been so large and so
menacing that a prominent free sil¬
ver advocate of Illinois, Judge Mc¬
Connell, declared in a public address
last week that it might become
necessary to abandon the 10 to 1
plank in the next national campaign
in order to unite all enemies of
trusts in a solid phalahx. We refer
to this merely to show the signifi¬
cance that is attached to the trium¬
phant progress of trusts by thinking
men everywhere.
What shall be done with the trusts
is a question that has never been
satisfactorily answered. It is clear
that they ought to be destroyed, but
how? Able statesmen have devised
measures that promised much, but
which, in operation, were of no po¬
tency whatever. The tariff of 1894
contained a provision offered by
Senator Sherman, which was ex¬
pected to slay trusts right and left,
but if it ever found a victim, small
or great, no record was ever made
of the circumstance,
Free institutions and trusts ean-
not long endure together. They are
natural and irreconcilable enemies.
The trust exists by crushing compe-
tion and creating monopoly. A
democracy is based upon the exalta-
tion of the individual, and on the
broadest possible freedom of indi-
vidual action. The issue between a
re j )U ijlic an form of government and
trusts has been upon ns ever
s j nce the civil war, and it is rapidly
hastening to a conclusion. It is not
impossible that the next national
campaign will forever determine the
result.-—Texas F’arm and Ranch.
Small Pox Remedy.
A reader of the Times-Uniou and
Citizen sends a clipping taken from
the Times-Union a number of years
ago, giving a remedy for smallpox,
and requests that it be published.
The article was originally published
in the Stockton (Cal.) Herald as
follows:
“I herewith append a recipe which
has been used to my knowledge in
hundreds of cases. It will prevent
or cure the smallpox, though the
pittings are filling. When Jenner
discovered eowpox in Edgland the
world of science hurled an avalanche
of fame upon his head, but when
the most scientific school of medi¬
cine in the world—that of Paris—
published this recipe as a remedy
for smallpox, it passed unheeded.
It is an unfailing fate, and conquers
in every instance. It is harmless
when taken by a well person. It
will cure scarlet fever. Here is the
recipe as I have used it, and cured
my children of scarlet fever; here
it is as I have used it to cure small¬
pox; when learned physicians said
the patient must die, it cured: Sul¬
phate of zinc, one grain; foxglove,
(dig 1 tons) one grain; half a tea-
spyonful of sugar; mix with two
tablespoonfuls of water. When
thoroughly mixed add four ounces
of water. Take a spoonful every
hour. Either disease will , disappear
in twelve hours. F’or a child,
smaller doses, according to age. if
counties would compel their physi-
eian8 t0 . use thlS ., . ’ there ,, would , , , be no
need of pest houses. If you value
advcse and €X P erience > use this for
7iat terrible disease. ’

confined her to her bed for over a
month and rendered her unable to
walk a step without assistance, her
limbs being swollen to double their
normal size. Mr. S. Maddox insist-
