It is a pleasure to look over his farm even this early in the season, and you ought to see his this year’s pork crop. J. Sheer, Sedalia, Mo., conductor on electric street car line, writes that his little daughter was very low with croup and her life saved after all physicians had failed, only by using One Minute Cough Cure. Luke & Ashley. The Dispatch is working for Ir¬ win county, and there is no secret about the work it is doing. It now wants to see every farmer have a good road to market, and when that is accomplished it will go to work to secure something else that will benefit the whole country. The Confederate veterans should not be expected to attend reunions hundreds of miles away.

Give flic old boys a rest on the other kind. 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.

Luke & Ashley., An Atchison girl, who has been married six months, said today: “I wouldn’t have a husband who didn’t ‘boss’ me. I wouldn’t respect a man who came home with his salary every Saturday night and placed it in my 1 lap. My husband wants to know ' where I go and what I am doing, ! and T am glad of it. When a woman | ‘bosses’ her husband, he is a weak j man, and the neighborhood don’t j respect him.” 4 BACKACHE! Because WHY? your t Liver and Kidneys are 4 out of order. DR. J. H.

Judge Peeples performing the ceremony in his brief, happy and binding style. Monday following the young man came to town and swore out a writ of habeas corpus for his wife alleg- ing that her father and brother had forcibly taken her away from him. The parties were summond before Judge Patterson the trial Tuesday the for a hear- ing. In young lady state'cl that she left of her own free will, and as no proof to the con- j trary could be produced, the bus- band and bride of only a couple of days are again enjoying the bless- j I ings of a single life.—B. C. News. The Ntarch of TruBts. 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. ’ Remarkab!e Care of Rheumatism. Kf.mnw, Jackson Co., \V r . Ya. About three years ago my wife bad an attack of rheumatism which 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- ed on iny using Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. I purchased a fifty-cent bot- tie and used it according to the di- rectioiis and the next morning she walked to breakfast without assist- ance in any manner, and she has not had a similar attack since.—A.
