DEAR ADVERTISER : I have been off to the "Rocks that Shock" at Hillman, Ga., and missed the visits of the dear old ADVERTISER more than I can say. My daughter, Lillian, has been iii with rheumatism since March, but was better in June. She grew much worse in July and was so low, I despaired of her life at one time. When we left home she had not boen able.to help herself any, or get out of bed alone, for nearly a month. We staid three weeks at Hill man, and when we left she could get up out of bed, or chair, and walk alone, and still continues to improve. We rode each day from Mr8. John T. Overton's to the new Southside Sanitarium to take the. electric treatment from the "Rocks that Shock." It is an electric room, dug between the electric rocks, and a sky-light at the top where the blessed sunlight can come through. The patients eit in large rockers surrounded with pillows, with their feet to the rock; or lie on a cot and put their feet to the rock; or sit or stand and put the head, hands, back, or feet, as the wish may be. Then again we form a circle by joining hands, and the ones at the extremities of the cir cle put each a hand on, the rock. After a short while the electricity begins to enter; a tingling rans through the hands and arms, and a sensation of great heat pervades the system ; then in a short while we begin to shake. My daughter and I shook for hours after the circle was broken. Some could not shake, but they felt the beneficial effects o? the electricity in their systems. The new Southside Sanitarium of which Mrs. Overton has charge, belongs exclusively to Mr. Andrew Hillman, a Baptist minister, and an estimable gentleman. He and his excellent wife and interesting children often came over to the shaft to visit us. We had a very pleasant time in conversation with friends; books and papers to read and comment OD, writing and work made quite a ?oc'ii'- passing ' of the golden hour? Vwe lingered to take electricity ?nd. gain health and strength. The dry current I con sider muoh the best for sufferers from rheumatism. It was bright and cheerful with the sunlight nearly every day while we were there. After the terrible storm of the 27th ult. the creek got in a very angry frame of mind and rose several times. The situation of the shaft is quite a pretty one, nestling at the foot of the mountain with a lake just in front, and th? hills and valleys of the surrounding country covered [with crops of corn and cot!on just beyond. The hotel is on the top of the I mountain. It has forty-four rooms and is a fine looking building. Mr. Hunter has charge of it and the electric shaft on the north side. He had his shaft free for a couple of months, excepting a charge of $1.00 a week for a cot and 15 cents a week for each chair. Now, how ever, he has resumed the old price of 50 cents a day for treatment, the same as at the new Southside San itarium. That is a damp current J j and he keeps the rock wet and sanded floor damp. They claim that the electricity prevents any one from taking cold from the dampness. For my own part, how ever, I prefer the dry current. There were several visitors from Edgefield up there, and they called around to visit us at the shaft. I en joyed renewing their acquaintance and had some very pleasant days while there, and regretted to leave. The waters from two of the mineral ( springs can be shipped, and they } sometimes ship as much as a car j load at a time to Chicago. Anti febrile water will lower the temper ature 1 of fever patients very quickly; Anti-nansea water will prevent sickness. Both of them and the Magic, a composition of sulphur, iron, and electricity, will | j all act beneficially on the kidneys, liver, lungs, and heart. It is a great place and many wonderful cures attest its remedial powers Go up aud try it, Mr. Editor, and Mr. Hillman will give you a wei come and a learned talk about electricity. Ask for Mrs. Overton's hack and it will take you right to her pleasant home. Respectfully, Mrs. J. J. BUNCH. Silver and Cold as Currency.

United States of only $5. The fractional parts of a silver dollar are a limited - tender. All standard silver dollars are a tull legal tender, 412 1-2 .'grains, niue tenths fine. The ratio between gold and legal tender silver in all the above coun tries except the United Sattes is 1 of gold to 15 1-2 of silver. In the United States it is 16 of silver to 1 of gold.

Those with the gold standard are Great Britain, Germany, Portugal, Austria, Scandinavien Union, Australia, Egypt, Canada and Cuba. Those with the silver standard are Russia.

To see Governor Tillman* and Mr. Joseph W. Barnwell, the virtual heads of the extremes of two political factions, engaged in a warm but friendly altercation in the interest of charity, as was the case in this city to-day, astrangei would be ready to swear that the I storm of August, 1893, had ob-1 literated all political differences in this State by substituting for th'.-m higher interests of a com mon humanity.-Charlcsi.su Sun Sept 18. ROYALTY ON PROSTRATE, Pledged to Make Good the State Bonds. Newsand Courier. ~ . COLUMBIA, S. C., September 9. ;'I won't tojdo it." That is the way Governor Tillman expresses him self, and usually when he says such things he means it. He means that he considers the State pledged to raised $75,000 a jear from phos phate royalty toward a sinking fund for the new issue of State bauks, and that he will not consent fco any arrangement by which such revenue will not be raised. It would not, thinks, be keep ing faith with the bondholders. He svould rather let the fields lie idle, and if such occurs there will be no violation of contract or any bad Faith on the part of the State. This morning, after stating what I un lerstood to be the position of the phosphate men, Governor Tillman sonsented to give his views. He mid that he could not make any ?ontract and that all that he could promise to do would be to try and ;et the board bf phosphate com missioners to pass a resolution re facing the royalty to 50 cents per x>n, provided the amount so raised unounted to $75,000. This would be-subject, of course :o the action of the Legislature and it waa his further idea that the royalty should be made to operate m a sliding scale. If the price of rock became better the royalty mould be proportionatety raised. 'If all of the miners stop work; we ;annot help it, and I suppose we ?viii have to got some one else tb niue in the State property. I cer ;ainly do not feel warranted in wiping these people to such an ex tent as to make the State break its :aith with its bondholders. SUFFICIENT ROYALTY OR NOTHING. "Before I'll see the rock bring a ruinous royalty I'll consent to et it lie there, and before I'll con sent to let it derive less than $75, )00 royalty I'll let it lie there. Hie State will not then have uroken faith with anyone. I have )very disposition to help these peo ple in their trouble. The State is n a lr^ud of co-operation with them md it is to their interest to help hem. rn*EY SHAN'T MINE ON THEIR OWN . TERMS. "I have no desire to drive them mt of business, but I'm afraid they ;hink that we are so poor that we ire compelled to let them mine at :heir own terms ; but we have not 50t there. My idea was that we get an account >f - hs arno unt of damages sustain id and then by a reduction of roy ally let them get that back. There s now about 40,000 tons of rock >n handjwhich would get the beno ?t of any reduction of royalty if ve make one." Ons thing is certain, Governor nilman is going to stick to. his idea that the phosphate companies viii have to raise the $75,000 even ,f they have to pay the present $100 .oyalty, that is if 75,000 tons are nined.]If;50,000 tons are according 0 his plan. "Tho State can make 10 argeement which would look to 1 smaller revenue and still keep aith. . The phosphate ?men look at hings differently. They want some hing definite. They want a fifty ;ent royalty for a term of years, ["hey do not want any "sliding jcale" in theirs. They do not want :o run the chances of making up my deficiency by the retirement >f any company and in the end pay pl, when they expected to pay 50 :ents. Judge Gary. karolina Tribune. When it was generally known that Major Gary had been elected Judge of the 5th Circuit of .S. C. a *reat mahy colored people were alarmed because they feared he should be particulaly cruel to those Df their race, who might be arraig ned before his court. In justica to Judge Gary, it gives us pleasure to state that, we have known him before ho was grown aud all through his public life and we are satisfied that he is one of the most humane .md kind hearted Judges in this State. In sentencing the prisoners, at the last term of court for Edge field Co., he was as kind and merci ful as it was possible for him to by. We will always feel sefe with 3uch men as Judge Gary upon the Bench and we congratrlate the colored people wherever he may preside upon the fact that they will have an incorruptable and kind hearted judge, before whom they may appear, with the full assurance that, justice will be measued but.

Cf TEAKS A .Remarkable f ne on Floor of Thv. iate. . . Washington Post. The remarkable spectacle < Senator of the United States tears upon the floor of the Se: was observed yesterday af terr when Senator Teller, of Color) having been drawn into a disc sion with Senator Hawley,in wi he began to* dwell upon the sui ing swhich would fall upon people of his section and of United States should the rei bill become a law. As he proceeded he bec? more andmore wrought up i pitch of intensity unlike [anyth ever seen on the floor. He pa up and down the narrow space hind bis desk, earnestly gesticu ting, while with a voice tremul with, emotion and his eyes wet w toai, he pictured the misery t! he saw in the future for the peo whom he loved. The spectacle ? so striking and so unusual that riveted tho attention of ev Senator. The words poured fr< Mr. Teller's lips in a passion torrent, so carried away was with his theme, and when, w clinched fist, he denounced 1 "damnable bill," the galleries bu forth with uppluse. With all this there was nothi theatrical about the scene. 1 Teller is so sincere, so honests hostile to any form of trickery tl every Senator felt he belier every word he uttered and resp ted the intensity of the feeli which made him give away, to 1 emotions. When he had conclue] he sank into his seat, buried 1 face in bis bands, and presen te? living picture of the misery had so touchingly described. How to Kill Nut Grass. SpArtanbrng Spartan. I have seen several inquir lately for a method of kill ing n grass. I used to think the only w to get rid of it was to move off a leave it but I have found a beti method of treating it. I bad abo one acre of very rich garden lal thoroughly seeded down with it could raise a winter or early spri crop, but it would choke ont ar corn or cotton crop -1 won plant. Five years ago I Irish potatoes on i in corn. Before it "v to hoe it was a ma > grass, and to get it pulled up nearly a was very dry at the the time I was thr? was nearly all dead was doing finly. I try heroic treatmt took a Planet, jr., cumvatui tu tore up every blade of corn ai grass in the field, using a h around the fences. In about four days a new cr< came up. Then I cultivated it tl other way always in the hot su The fourth time I plowed it dei and I got another pretty good cn of grass startedjWbich I cultivate as before. In one month, I think, I hi sprouted and killed every vestij of if, as not a stalk has appears since, and it has been planted i corn and sweet potatoes every yei since. You can take this for what it worth, but the only way to get ri of it is to keep it from seedin either top or root, and cultiva and germinate all dormant sef and kill them by cultivation in tl dry, hot weather of May and Jun ;.

[lie Union Ital Life Insurance Co., OP IFOK/TLAJSnU, MAUSTE ts Policies for tie Most Liberal Now Offered to tie Ml s the only existing Company whose policies are, or can be subject to, the MAINE NON-FOBFEITURE LAW. WHAT IT IS: The Maine Non-Forfeiture law pro tects polices from forfeiture by reason of default of payment of premiums.' lt provides that, after three years' pre miums haye been paid, failure to pay any subsequent premiums shall not forfeit a policy, but it shall continue in force for its full amount until the reserve (less a small surrender charge) upon the policy'is exhausted. The reserve isa sum made up of por tions of each and every premium paid upon a policy in anticipation of its maturity. Beginning with a small portion of the lirst premium, it is in creased eacn year by the addition of each subsequent premium, and grows larger year by year, until, at maturity, it exactly equals the face of the policy. When a policy is discontinued there fore, there is in the hands of the Com pany a reserve greater or less, accord ing to the character and age of the policy. Instead of permitting the Com pany, upon non-payment of premium, to confiscate this reserve, the Maine Non-Forfeit ure Law requires the Com pany to continue the policy in force until the policy-holder receives an equivalent for it in extended insur ance. SOW IT WORKS : If a person, aged 35,. pays three years' premiums upon a twenty pay ment Life policy and then discontinues payment, the policy will be continued 4 years and 257 days longer; if he pays five premiums, and then discontinues, the insurance will continue 7 years and 357 days longer. If the policy is a twenty year en I dowment, same age, three years' piy -??fc nrill erivo an P-xtension nf 8 vears that the policy-uuiu_ glance exactly what he is entitled to ii he discontinues his payments at any time. WHAT IT HAS DONE : The Company Has Paid Over Two Hundred Death Claims, in consequence of this Jaw, aggregating in sums insured more than Four Hun dred Thousand Dollars. In every case there had been a de fault in the payment of premium, and, except for this law, the policies would have been of little or no value. Instead of this, the insurance in each case was extended to the time of death, and the Company was required to pay to the beneficiaries under the policies the sum of $418,335.77. Mic of aine Law Extensions as ompare? v?ith Pal?-np Values: It is the custom of many companies to provide in their policies that, upon discontinuance of payment of Premium, paid-up policies will be given without the option of extension. This was the practice of the Union Mutual before the Maine Non-Forfeiture Law was enacted, but it now substitutes for paid-up values the more advantageous plan of extended insurance. The object ion to the paid-up system is that the amount of paid-up insurance which is given upon the discontinuance of payments upon a policy ? unless it has been in force a great many years is insignificant, and of little or no value as protection ; and it leaves the insured who ceases payment without adequate insurance at the very time he needs it the most. The great advantage of the extended insur ance afforded by the Maine Law over the most liberal paid-up system is strikingly shown by the following comparison, and it will be ob served that the paid-up value is insignificant in comparison with the amount actually paid by the Union Mutual. The result of two hun dred and twelve policies was this : \ If the insured had received paid-up policies instead of extended in surance, the Company would have had to pay in settlement of the claims only. $98,107.50 Whereas, in fact, it did pay under the Maine Law. $41S,3J4.77 Making a difference in favor of the beneficiaries under Two Hundred and Twelve policies of. $320,147.2S ho policies are free, from ALL restrictions, and incontestable after O KT T3 grace of one month is given in tho payment of premiums.
