Haring thoroughly investigated the presen1 Bankmpl Laws of ti e United Stat. ? B?W in force' I am prepared promptly, and Ob reasonable terms, to attend to this branch of practice. Ibo fellowing infjra.aiion can be relied on : Under the Act of 1867, and he Amendments approved IOtb Jane, 1572, the Bankrupt when discharged is allowed te retain two thousand dollars worth of property, to wit: One Thousand Dollars of his real estate, and one thousand dol? lars of bis personalty, and this, unlike the pre? carious and restricted benefit of the Homestead, becomes his absolute estate, to dispose of as he chooses, either by sale, gi't. devise or otherwise, all bit debts effectually, and finally wiped out, and be and bis family free from embarrassment and annoyance. I The last amendments insure the extinguish? ment of all debts contracted prior to January 1st, 1669,and require payment by the Assignee of only 50 per cent of the individual (not secu? rity) debts of the bankrupt, contracted since tho 1st of January, 1669, if assets will nut cover those of same elass prior to that date. Col. E. M. Seabrook is now Register in Bank rnptcy, resident in Sumter, wbicb gives unusual facilities for this business. Any further information can be bad on appli? cation, either in person or by letter to JULIUS J- FLEMING, Attorney ut Law. OS ce Main St., Sumter. S. C. THE WARNING HAS BE KN HEEDED. Since the exposure of tho attempts made by certain unscrupulous local dmicr?, to palm off their course astringents, made from cheep and impure muUriali, in the place of the great na? tional tonic, Hosteller's Stomach Bitters, public opinion has set stmugly ogaiust ^theso empirics and their preparations. Their occupation is gone, or soon will he. When the light is let into deception it soon wilts down. Person* who trifle wtth their own health, hy using unknown preparations, with no guarantee to sustain them, when an established specific, proven by twenty years experience to be exactly what it is claimed to he, is within thuir reach, are ?ure k* repent their temerity. Many hare fiore so in this in itar.ee. but it is hoped tb?t ti e truth plainly ?poken has arrested tho evil. In the meantime the demand for the leading protective nod restorative medicino of America *a- never so grrat ns it has been this season. From the fever and ague districts of the west, south wes', and south, it is literally overwhelming, and it may be sai l of tho advices f flu ?ti parts of tho coun? try of ?he cures it i? effecting in dyspepsia, U? iou? complaints, and chronic constipation, that "their nam? is ltgion." trerj where the sick and feeble seem to have realised tho importance of "holding fast that whi.b is good," and of avoiding what is spurious and d infero is. The numerous "Hitters." un 1er various rrj me?, which mercenary dealers endeavor to nubstitute for Hosteller's Stomach Bitters, ?hould be avoid? ed, fur their own sakes, by the sie* ?od the pub? lic at large. Il os tetter's Bitter? are proeuable ii. bottles only, und never sol?] in hulk.
