Mecca, the holy city of tiv* tilth, Is called by many names. ?O'?e call It "(he Mother of Purity," 'tho Cita del of Arabs," "the Holy Mosque." Others speak of it ns "Iho Met bor of Compassion," "tho supreme Bauctlty," "the Guardian Angel of AJ-am." The devout never oiler the word Mecca without adding to if soino adjective [of praise, such as "lite blessed," "(ho I exalted," "the great," "tho highly es teemed," and so o;i. The town itself Is about two miles in length and 0110 mile in breadth. Tho dirtier the pilgrim keeps himself the more respected he is :t? a pious Moslem. Consequently Mecca, being as it Is the most snored city of tho faith, is literally the Ullhlest i:i Islam. The most important streets measure about ten yards in width. The rest: nro mere lanes, wonderfully and pic turesquely crooked and some six feet wide. The streets were crowded with touts, camels, mules, asses, horses, pariah dogs and a motley crowd of pil grims, unspeakably disheveled and un washed, while the lanes WOI'0 nbso> Itltoly filled with every kind of offal and refuse. Mecca, which lies in a hollow, would be a regular cesspool woro it not for the pariah dogs, lean, snarling brutes of a bright yellowish color, that serve the purpose of scav engers, and the Uorce, dry, Arabian sun that is the solo sanitary Inspector in (lie country. The dill the dogs make at night is Indescribable. A pack of Jackals would be quiet in comparison. No man or woman la the stato will hesitate to speak well of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets after once trying them. They always produce a pleasant movement of tho bowols, im prove the appetite and strengthen Ihe I digestion. For sale by Laurons Drug lCo. NIGJIT WAS IIEIt TERROR.

Mrs. Young Won Insur ance Case. Verdict Against the St, Paul for #1:1:28 ?Claim Against the Greenwich was Compromised. Thursday afternoon Judgo Dant/ler adjourned tho court of common pleas. Only two cr three jury cases were trlod. (Orders were passed in a numbor of cases and routino business was transacted. The most interesting case tried was that of Mrs. Alice Young against the St. Paul Piro and Marine insurance I Company. The plaintiff) suing for $l?O.), got a verdict of $1:128. Mrs. Young's dwelling in Clinton was burned last year and was insured in this com pany for $1600. The company claimed that representations were made that this was the total amount of insurance carried by the plaintiff on the- house but after the lire it developod that an other company had a policy. The plain tin" denied any such representation. The case of Mrs. Young against tho Greenwich Insurance was compro mised, the oompany to pay $1000 on an $1300 policy. Tho St. Paul Company was repre sented by John T. Soibels of Co'.umbln and the Greenwich by Mr. King of At* lanla. A Demonstrated Failure. Insisting that tho dispensary law should bo rigidly on forced in Charles ton tho Newbarry Observer declares that a return to the metropolitan polica system would be bettor than the pres ent condition of affairs. What tho Ob server really means is that tho law shou'd be enforced at any and all events, but it^ reference to the "me tropolitan police" is unfortunate. The facts are, and we speak from personal knowledge and observation, that the situation was not materially better or worse in Charleston when that system was maintained. Whiskey was sold freely and openly In those days, much as it is now . Th 1 writer was conduct ing a paper then in Cbarlestan and the policy of the p.ipor was to criticize tho metropolitan police. <>n two occasions persons known to bo engaged in tho il licit sale of liquor requested him to "let up" on tho metropolitan police, saying that it was found satisfactory by tho liquor so) 1 _? r-. Tbeso persons er roneously supposed that tho paper sym pathized with them as violators of tho law because it was opposod to tho dis pensary system. One of them wont so far as to threaten withdrawal of sub scriptions to the paper by himself and eight friends. The Observer's general contention may be sound but It should suggest some other than an abundantly demonstrated failure as a remedy, Safeguard the Children. Notwithstanding all that is dono by boards of health and charitably in clined persons the death rate among small children is very high during the hot weather of the summer months in the large cities. There is not probably one case of ho vel complaint in a hun dred, however that could not bo cured by Iii? timely use of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholora and Diarrhoea Remedy.
