New Elixir of Life Used in Greenfield. Dr. J. W. Selman used the wonderful Brown-Sequard "Elixir of Life" upon several of our citizens this morning, with excellent effect. Among them was W. T. Webb, the photographer, who has been troubled with rheumatism and partial paralysis. The elixir enabled him to use arm ouite freely which b^ had not done in a long time. Samuel Oakerson received the injection for spinal trouble, and a rheumatic leg and was greatly relieved. Wm. L. Johnson, who has been seriously afflicted for over a year with kidney trouble, which affected his back painfully, in half an hour after the injection, was able to walk erect free from pain without the use of his cane. The Hon. A. C. Handy, 77 years of age, whose side was injured 30 years ago, and who has suffered ever since, in 20 minutes after the operation, declared himself free from pain and felt better than he had in years. He said the effect was like electricity and warmed him up. Dr. Selman prepared the elixir this morning from portions of a four-months old male lamb, and thinks the elixer as prepared by him can be kept indefinitely and he has great faith in its curative properties, especially for the diseases of old people as it gives immediate relief.

Consistency of a Protective Tariff. Whether or not a tariff shall be laid ou foreign products sent into this country for sale in competition with similar domestic products, will be found largely a quest ion of doing justice by our own people, when once freed from the labyrinth of maxims and theories with which tariff reformers seek to surround the issue between the policies of Protection and Free Trade:

The men who preach for free trade with Europe will not, and dare not, contend that their neighbors should send money to distant cities for goods, even if in so doing a few cents may be saved on each purchase. Nor are they likely to consent that peddlers may come into home communities, and without license (a tariff) sell their wares, when similar articles are on the shelves of home merchants who pay taxes for the support of local and state governments.

The same policy requires foreigners with machinery and capital beyond our reach, and whose power may pe used for our detriment, to pay something—and pay well —by way of tariff when coming here with heir products to compete against Ameri can enterprise and American capital, fphich are steadily taxed without possibility of escape or desire for evasion.

Protection for domestic industries is but the broadening of that humane and natural policy observed in keeping for tlfe members of our family such money as they can conveniently earn, rather than paying it out to strangers the same we advocate in local communities—trading with home merchants, employing home mechanics, patronizing home papers, in short, Protection requires the sending away of no money that may be prudently retained for the comfort of our own households and advancement of the community in which we make our home.

OBITUARY.

UKIITRUDE BIN FORI).

Gertie, the oldest child of John H. and Lucy C. Binford, died of typhoid fever at the family residence on Walnut street, this city, at 6:30 A. M. Thursday morning. She was just budding into early womanhood, having been fifteen years old April 9, 1889. She was a very bright girl, her physical health seemed perfect and she was a source of great joy and pleasure to her father, mother, thr«c brothers and baby sister. During tlie sickness of her father this spring she looked after a large part of his extensive business in a way that was both creditable to herself and satisfactory to her fattier and his patrons. Mr. and -Mrs. Binford have the sympathy of a large number of friends in this great loss they are called upon to bear. The funeral services were held at the M. Church this afternoon at 2 P. M., and were attended by a large foneour.se of relatives and friends. Revs. M. M. Binford stud J. lv. Waltz had charge of the services, and the remains were laid to rest in our beautiful new cemetery.

Contest of Skill

In all avocations of life there is a desire on the part of those who engage in them to attain a mark of superiority—On last Monday afternoon a contest of skill took place between Ed Custer expert butcher of W. E. Lynam, and Thack Galbreath the pioneer butcher of Edward P. Thayer. The contestants repaired to the slaughter house east of the city where two fine beeves stood ready to play an important part in the contest. When all was ready Thack Galbreath first stepped into the arena dressed like the gladiators of old ready for the fray, and in fifteen minutes from the word go the animal was ready for the market. This made Custer breathe pretty heavily and caused his friends to speak encourageingly. They said the name Custer means victory, so Ed caught the idea of his friends and when the word wns /riven he went to work and in thirteen minutes his animal was swung to the tune oi victory. The contest ants shook hands and left for the city.

Mr. and Mrs. I). Cooper were in Anderson last Sunday, with Mr. Cooper's? aunt, Mrs. Bufkins, who lias typhoid fever.

Health Oliieers Attention.

The sickly season of the year is now upon us, and every precaution should be taken to prevent the growth or spread .of disease germs. There are no doubt many places in the city which would be greatly benefited by being thoroughly cleaned and then disinfected. Citizens generally should be free in the use of lime, copperas watef and crude carbolic acid around their homes in the places that need attention. Our health officers should make an examination and have all filth removed from alleys, vaults,-sinks, etc., at once. Persons knowing of places liable to cause sickness should report to the health officers who will see that nuisances are abated.
