A Xrutu Well PuV;.;-.\ An exchange remarks that ''whenever Ihe country is more than williag to give the Democrat* coitfpletc control of the iTovefnment. they sacrifice^ve^thingby personal and factional s^uabbies;'.^ We regret that the above is. true.... No-long er than a week or tvfo ago, the AT?tr* and Count* intimated that unless the free -trade wing of the p&ty controlled the National Conveutfoi?jy putting in their "tariff for revenue^only'Vj^lahk; there would be a b?ft"from fiie Democrat ic party in 1884 sufficient to defeat its nominees. This is altogether wrong. The minority must submit to the major ity, or our party organization is worth jess. While we firmly mid conscienti ously believe that the best policy for the Democratic party to. pursue in the next Presidential campaign is lo hold the tariff question io abeyance until after the election and make the fight upon the issue of civil service reform, we shall not bolt if the tarill is made the issue. We want to see a Democrat in the White House, and beside this all other desires jade into insignificance. We are willing to subordinate all of our views to this One grand and glorious result. We-waut to see the tariff reformed. Tite success of the Democracy will reform.it. We want the Government purified. :The success of the Democracy will purify it. Why then should there be any bolt from either wing? Let us choose the beat Is sue, concentrate oar forces, and rout the enemy, and theu the needed reforms can suctfcsaftuiy carried out. Let us hear ho more about bolting? but let us give the people an honest government by electing the Democratic Candida ies in }884. This Is where we stand. ' P^no Xo Govoriirucut. Telegraph for Us. A report comes nVm Washington that a bill will be introduced in the nexl Con gress authorizing the Government to is sue $100,000,000 of twenty year three per cent, bonds to purchase the telegraph plants of the country. This will be only another turn in the sorcw of centralisa tion by which the-jjbcrties.of the people Ci^^en^jjaifBt'iy- but effectually stolen fromMhem by the Republican party, but, . as the next House, is Democratic, we hope the scheme will be nipped in the bud, Iff h ii movement is successful, the i>\\t step-will l>e to gobble-the railroads^ and possibly 'fife newspapers, and then where arc the1 liberties of the people. /--With the mails, the telegraph and the railroad8 in' the. hands of the Govern ment, we would be completely in the power of a set of unscrupulous and de signing politicians who may chance to be fn authority.- Those of us who know the uses to which the posiofnee aud revenue departments of the Government ip the South have been put during the last twenty years by the Radical party ' can't look with any degree of serenity upon the proposition to put the tele graph Hhe3 of the. country under their control, to be prostituted for political purposes. The telegraph companies are huge corporations, wielding immense >litical and financial power, but they are lore tolerabl^and less dangerous to the institutions of the country than a political telegraph monopoly manipulat ed by the Radical politicians would be. We, therefore, trust that the Democrats in Congress will promptly squelch this pet scheme of the Radicals. The Immigrant Question. i Considering tho great advantages of < \he South in good soil, mild climate, large resources, and fair educational facilities, it is a matter of surprise lo many that we arc favored with so small a sprinkling of foreign immigration. To our mind, the reasons are not far to find. In the first place, mauy of our farmers prefer to make out with inferior labor than to pay stood prices for better work. Then again, the white immigrants want more comfortable houses, better fare and [ social comforts which many arc slow in giving. But, still more, foreign immi grants, in the face of these facts, arc no disposed to compote against negro labor. We must improve in these respects if we wish to soe tho tide of immigration set ting in Southward, which is far mors im portant, both iu the political and agricul tural espect, than, many seem to have any conception of. D' the people of the South would awake to their true inter ests in this matter, and have agents in Europe to bring the immigrants directly to Southern ports, we would get a better class of people, and the future prospects of our section would be very much improved. The Cotton Thx. The cotton tax levied by the United States government many years a^o by which millions of dollars were unjustly wrenched from the Southern States, has been declared by the Supreme Court to be unconstitutional, and yet not one dol lar of the stolen money h.is been restor ed. The portion 3tolen from South Carolina alone was $4,172,420. The South arks no favors. All she wants is t the verdict of the Court should be ?.yed and the money restored that was taken ?Vay. If this simple act of justice ja done, slie will put herself on her feet with her own money. m A Prosperous Farmer Dead. Mr. Farish C. Furnian, the successful farmer cf JGeorgia, whose wonderful achievements in intensive farming have been pnhfiahed all oyerine UnltedStates, died suddenly at his home on last Friday ^nighi. Eo was a son of. Dr. John H. Furniao, of Sumter County, in our State, a graduate of South Carolina University, occupied many important. official por tions in Georgia, aud was in the midst of a most successful career when death overtook him. Besides being a fanner. ;he was an able hiwyer'and/.a scientist.. Iiis dcaJ-h will br a.lbWto die-South. ? ,i-wi-i-i?K-itM---?--m--<---?i-?-p?--?-iiiii ?iiiiiiiiiih iiiIi.i-ii^ii Road* vs. Railroad*. Gen. Edward MeCnidy has written a letter to Senator, Butler making some Valuable suggestions on the subject of public roads. He thinks 'that our people make a mistake In trying to build mils roads which they cannot afford and1 which are only mads to'be gobbled up by capitalists. He shows by statistics of New England and the .Western States ihAt no railroad can be operated with profit in a section with lessthan S5? in? habitants U* a tntte of road. In South Carolina statistics show that instead of 830 to.the mile wo have scarcely 553? Weare;able, according, to the; calcula-. tion, to'ruu-wHh profit only 1,171 miles of railway, instead of which we are now running 1,500. with a prospect of 300 more soon which aie in process of con struction. He thinks it would be far more profitable to put our mouey ou the public roads, which concern everybody, than on the railroads that effec t only-the few, He says i $itC Poor's Manual for 1882, the cost of constructing a niile-<?f railroad is put at" $25.000. Governor Bonliam, in hia. last reports, puts the cost per mile in this State at $1.6.335.20. I havo made a calculation upon the figures giyen by\ JudiieT-awreuce in his letter published by you on the 26th July, and fiud that the splendid turnpike roads in Ohio cost on an average $2,136 per mile. Now can't you convince our people tliafc for I the preseut at least it will be wiser, rest j ing contented with the railroads they have, to build twelve-miles of first-class turnpike than one of railroads. Thimc what a change in our condition such roads would make ? What s saving it would cause in horses and vehicles? ?? ? ? Then again, let us remember that our capital and work expended on our couutry roads are in no danger of being taken from is; that there is no danger that our roads will be managed by directors of foreign corporations and diverted from' the purposes for which they will be built as our railroads are; that when built they will ne open to all to travel upon them, and uot confined to the monopoly of a single corporation; that they will permeate our whole State, and not benefit only a few who happen to be in the immediate neighborhood of depot*. As you have well said, the ereat preseut point is to have a com mencement. Why not allow our coun ties by vote to issue bonds to build turn pikes, as the State has allowed them to do in several instances for railroads? One or two counties building first-class turnpikes would soon demonstrate that good roads are quite as beneficial to our people as railroads, and the rest of the State would follow as they did about the ! Fence law; The money wo have saved In doing away with fences ir. this State would of itself go a great way to put our roads hi first-class order." We think Gen., McCrady talks very sensibly on this public road question, and his views deserve the serious con sideration of-the publm. We hardly realize what an advantage to trade and travel, and what a saving in rolling stock good turnpike roads through the country would be. The benefits of a little money spent in this direction would be seen and felt'by everybody. Tho Birth of I.ether. The tenth of November will be the four hundredth anniversary of the birth of Martin Luther. The event will be commemorated in. all parts of Europe and by hundreds of thousands of Luth erans in America. The emperor of Germany has given instructions to the representatives of tliat government at foreign courts that they should see that the day is fitly celebrated joy the Luth erau churches and societies in the couu ..tjaes_,to which thej' are sent and mc(ke~ report of the same. In every State in the United States the aniversary will be observed with unusual interest by ap propriate exercises in every Lutheran Church. In all the leading cities, as well as in many of the rural districts, the Sunday Schools will indulge in pro per festivities for the chindren, and the grown people will be entertained by dis courses relating to the life and works of Luther, his infiueace upon the religious thought of the age and the progress of the Lutheran Church. In some places the anniversary is being celebrated by the erection of churches and chapels with money raised and laid aside especially as a commemorative fund. We sup pose the Lutheran churches of Orange burg County will soon commence to take steps for a p roper observance of so Important a day. Butler's Organ. A weekly paper has been started in New York to advocate the claims of Governor B. F. Buttler for the Presi dency, and it Is asserted that the Gover nor furnishes the money with which to run it. The title ot it is characteristi cally unique. Father Columbia and its contents are devoted chiefly to biosrraph ical sketches of the Massachusetts states man, a glorification of the services he has rendered to the country In peace and in war, with a somewhat high flown presentation of his various qualifications for making "the b<!st executive on earth." Its candidate for the Vice Presidency is John H. Reagan of Texas, and its plat form is as follows: Reduce public ex pense seventy-five per cent. Railroad fares uniformly one ceut a mile. Rail road freight rate just, uniform and per manent. Telegraph and express rates reduced fifty per cent. Reciprotrade. Gold and silver certificates the ouly paper mouey. No monopoly. Xo more Tewksbury. No sumptuary laws. No banks of issue. No public debt. Ourselves. The Times a:.vd Democrat has now attained a cirrulation of nearly twelve hundred copies. It finds its way into every nook and corner of our county, and is everywhere received with favor. We make this statement with pleasure, as it shows that more people are reading their county paper uow than ever read it before. While we are proud of tins showing, we would like to make a better one. Let our friends throughout the coun ty help us to iuc.-ease our subscription list by urging their neiuhbors to sub scribe. In the future, as in the past. The Times and Democrat will stand upon its merits as a newspaper, and will ever be the guardian of the best interests of Orangeburg County. To our friends and patrons who have assisted us In building up our paper we extend our grateful thanks. ?i.. We notice an item in the Xew Era, of Charleston, to ths effect that E. W. M. Mackey and E. IT. Deas, of South Caro lina, have tendered the appointment of Assistant Postmaster of Benuettsville, S. C,. to their friend, C. C. Steward, of Washington. Colored men of tho Re publican party of South Carolina, what do you think of tills act of your Republi can Representative ? Could no one of your party or race in the State be found competent to fill this place? A recent writer ^n the pqbficroad question makes another suggestion, He urge3 that shads trees hi panted all i along the roadsioe-s for .the. comfort of < travelers as is dene jn praDCe 1 artd Spain. v ' News of tkeE&y\ A very large devil fish was caught at Port Royal on Sunday. It'measured sixteen feet across and weighed two tons. Mrs. Jackson^ widow of "Stonewall" Jackson, is in Boston, Where' she and her daughters are the guests of Govern* or Butler. Barnwell has., gone. dry. The munici pal election took place on Tuesday and resulted' us folh ws: Dry tieket 70, Wet ticket 62. ? Washington papers, commenting upon the return of. the President fircm hia Western trip, say that "he is consider ably sunburnt.'? . The New York Globe contends, with some truth, that the Southern negroes are not thriftless, but imprudent. They make plenty of money, but spend it In j vice and gluttony. A negro infant was recently found in a corn field near Green Pond, York C< nty, at which place a camp meeting who progressing at the tune.- It died lust Saturday mght. There is no clue as to its parentage. ' v. ? Henry 13. Blessing, an engineer, living In St. Louis, so fatally shot his. brother in-law on Monday night that he died on Tuesday. On the Same night and at the same time. Blessing wounded his wife and then cut his throat. .Cause?jeal ousy. The Louisville Cour?r-Journalis about right in saying:' "In nine cases out of ten the American newspaper reporter, uo matter what part of the country he may he located m, represents the pro gress, intelligence and poverty of the country". . , * . . . ? ?. A colored prisoner confined in the; jail at Allendalc set fire to tire building be fore." daylight Monday morning, iu order, it is supposed, to make his escape, but, before he could be rescued, the jail was entirely consumed and the prisoner per ished iu tho flames. , .. -: Senator Brown, ol Georgia, has offer ed the members of the Legislature of that State a free ride to the Louisville Exposition, whereupon the Columbus Times significantly remarks that the Legislature will have to elect a United States Senator. Naughty Joseph. At Erwin. 111., Saturday, an attempt was made to kill the Rev. C. A. Obers haire, the organizer of a polygamous sect known as the "Pilgrims". The Pilgrims completed a new church on Fri <hiy, which was wrecked with giant pow der. Obershaire generally slept in the building, but at the time of the explosion was away. The Echo, an organ of the colored people in Savannah, Ga., says: "There are uo less than thirty-five houses being put up by colored families in this city. Our people are accumulating wealth and intelligence with wonderful rapidity." This does not look as if the colored people of DemocaMc Georgia are so terribly oppressed. California furnishes a case of the quickest courtship probably on record. A wealthy widow of ban Francisco, and a well known hotel keeper of Oak land met for the tirst time a few days ago, and in exactly fifteen minutes af ter the meeting they were engaged to bo married. The marriage was solemnized the next day, to the unbounded surprise of their friends. Rush Hall, liviug near Rocky Mount, N. C, parted from a beautiful girl re cently, the engagement which had exist ed between them having been broken from a trivial cause. On Saturday he saw her with a young man, and followed the couple until the girl's companion left her. Hall then struck her with a club, fracturing her skull. She will probably die. The Camden Journal says: "As an instance of the disastrous effect of the drought, there is a forty-five acre field of corn on the river below Camck that will not produce a peck of corn to the acre, whereas the average crop on it heretofore lias been forty bushels per acre; The corn stalks, do not now aver age more than two feet in height, and most of them are dead?dried up." The oldest book in the clerk's office at Barnweli is the "Winton Court Minute book from October, 1776, to Febuary, 1791." The backs are made of thin pine board covered with several sheets of newspaper, and an outside cover of green wall paper. The first entry is the minute of the organization of the county court for Winton county, Orangeburg District, on the 17th October, 1786. Last Saturday evening, Lancaster Bratton, colored, who lives near York ville, sent his sons, Alexander and Ben ney, to the field for some corn tops. About half an hour after they left the house a deadened tree in the field was blown down and in falling it struck Al exander on the neck, crushing tho bones of his face and fracturing his left thigh bone. Death resulted almost immedi ately. Trial Justice Blease, of Newberry, has inaugurated a new departure. After the Jury had been drawn in his Court last week, he asked all parties to stand up, and when they did so. he offered up a fervent prayer asking among other things, that the witnesses lo be sworn in the case would remember their oaths to "speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing hut the truth.'? It was a novel prececding. At Lexington, Ky, on Wednesday morning, a fire broke out in the stables of the Lexington Street Car Company. Fifty mules, fourteen cars and the entire lot of harness and stock of food and the new stables were totally destroyed. The loss is estimated at $40.000. Three cottages and ?table adjoining were also destroyed, valued at $1,000; insured for $750. The fire was undoubtedly the work of an incendiary. A granite monument seventeen feel high has been placed over the remains of the late venerable Lovick Pierce, D, D., in the.cemetcry in Columbus, Ga. He died November 9, 1879, at the age of 94 years and 7 months. The inscription on oue face of the monument reads: "A good man. a great preacher; he lived not unto himself, but uuto Him who is the resurrection and the life." The shaft was erected by subscriptions by his friends throughout tue Slate. In' the early part of the summer, a man named Augustus Stephens made his appearance at Dumford. Sumter County, and went to work iu the turpentine busi ness of Di D. Kelly & Bro. He passed off as a single mau and soon began pay ing his attention to Miss Deila V. Stokes, a daughter of J. W. Stokes, who lives in the upper part of tlie County, and on the 26th of July they were married. It has since transpired that Stepheus has a wife living in Robeson County, ]S. C. Mary Anderson Is a true woman?an honor to her sex. It appears that she has refused au introduction to the Prince of Wales, saying H. Ii. H. could Uo her no good professionally, and she knew how he regarded actresses generally. "I have goue thus far in life without a breath ot scaudal attaching to me. and I do not mean now to do anything that might chauge that condition." were the final words of Miss Audersou. Wales received a deserved lesson from the Am erican actress. McDonald, of Indiana, who is said, at present to be the strongest caudidate for the Democratic nomination for Presi dent, declared in a recent speech that "prohibitory measures for the suppres sion of the liquor traffic had invariably proved failures. Because a few drink too much, It is unreasonable to demand that all should drink none. The Legisla ture cannot be the guardian of every mau's conscience, nor ought it to as sume to violate the* personal rights of man." The Readjuster convention for the nomination of a candidate for the Legis lature from Alexandria, Ya., met in the custom house Thursday, and after wran gling for several hours, indorsed 1. C. O'Neal, the Republican candidate. Mr. O'Neal sent a letter to the convention declining to accept an indorsement from it. He also told a gentleman oh the street that he would not under any cir cumstances accept an. indorsement from the Mahone party, as he was a Republi can, straight. Chickens Going; Iturao to Boost, The avenging angel evidently has charge of the State of Massachusetts dis guised as Ben Butler* He was elected governor, which in itself was a most dreadful punishment for tire ?'better cle ment" of the most highly respectable and rigidly rlghteoua of Commonwealths. Now he has appointed a full blooded negro justice of the District Court of CL rlestown District. It Ben Butler continues in this way we shall learn to love him. We have already moderated our grief over the fact that he was not captured and hauged during the war. We recognize him as a useful man?nay, more, a most delightful man! He is administering liberal doses of her own medicine to Massachusetts, and the writhines and contortions of the vener able concoctor of nauseous compounds for the remainder of the country arc magnificently funny. A negro judge m Massachusetts, appointed by JBen But ler as Democratic Governor! . In Mas sachusetts, where the negro inc the ab stract lias been put on a pedestal and worshiped, and in actual .life given a cool and somewhat precarious situation in the house, for mauy years! In Mas sachusetts, the birth-place of Chamber laine and Whittemore andsev^ral others of the philanthropic gentlemen who came down here to elevate the negro, raise Old Nick and put the State treasury far ? upthe|spout! They-have-a-ne?ro-Judge in-Ma.: lachusctts 1 The joke is the joke of the century. The more it is thought over the better it becomes. Only one thing is lacking to make our revenge and the accuracy of the parallel complete. Butler ought to be a penniless carpet bagger from South Carolinaas our man Chamberlaine was ? penniless carpet bagger from Massachusetts. Butler is as great and complete a miscellaneous rascal as Chamberlaine, but lie has pro perty enough io make personal' and direct stealing 'unnecessary. Unfortu nately for Mr. Chamberlaine ri?'was not ? so lucky, and this S'ote has good reason to regret that he Came to her in an im poverished condition and departed with flourishing finances. But Butler's general character, and the eagerness he has shown to degrade and injure the best people of his State,match Chamberlaine's characteristics exactly. And now he has appointed a negro Judge in the Charlestown District just as Chamber laine appointed many a one In the Char leston District 1 The subject is fascinat ing. We would like to pursue and dis cuss it indefinitely. We could direct at tention to many 'beautiful coincidences between the conduct and character of the Massachusetts Governor of South Carolina and the Massachusetts Gover nor of Massachusetts, twins by parent age and in knavery and effrontery. But we forbear. We have hut one thing more to say?If the new colored Judge in Charlestown District will appoint a colored officer of the color, general ap pearance and character of the most of our colored officers here before 1876, and if that officer will work up a case against Frisbie Hoar and a dozen other white cravatted and kid gloved Massachusetts saints who have wondered so piously at Bebel lawlessness and rcstiveness under negro rule, we will guarantee that the entire expenses of the performance will be paid by citizens of Greenville Coun ty. We further promise that If proper notice of the entertainment is given, ten thousand citizens of this-State will walk to Charlestown barefooted if such loco motion is necessary to get them there. A colored Judge in Massachusetts the home and fast friend of Chamberlaine and Whittemore! Appointed by Demo cratic Ben Butler! Can't somebody set it to music? Can't it be turned out in the shape of poetry ? We would like to sing it.?Greenville News. Will the Register Do It? The Columbia Register quotes from the St. Louis Republican an attack upon Hon. Samuel J. Randall and commends it to Messers. Tdlman and Dibble as well as to the Chronicle, which is infcrential ly accused of not being a Democratic journal according to the Georgia stan dard, whatever that may mean". Now. we notice that none of the quasi free-trade papers, like the Register, and none of the papers opposing Mr. Rondall's candi dacy publish that gentleman's own dec laration of principles on the tariff, as embodied in his speech in the House of Representatives and in the platform of the Pennsylvania Democracy. Mr. Randall is uot a protectionist for the sake of protection, but he does favor a tariff for revenue with incidental protection to American labor, iust as the Democracy of North Carolina, Virginia, Ohio, Indi ana and many other States do, and iust as the National Democracy of the Union will at their next convention. Mr. Ran dal., Mr. Tillman, Mr. Dibble, the Chronicle, and the great majority of the Democrats of this Republic stand" on the subject of the tariff where the soundest Democrats have stood for forty years. Let the Register publish Mr. Randall's speech and the plank in the Pennsylva nia platform made by him. Let the readers of that paper have an opportu nity of judging between the Democracy of Mr. Randall and those who assail him directly and by proxy. The Chroniele is not afraid of the issue, now or to come. We dare say that Mr. Tillmau aud Mr. Dibble tire equally well prepared to face the music. In a recent interview. Me. Ilendricks, who is esteemed a very stauuch Democrat, said "there must be a tariff until the dehtjwas extinguished, and probably afterwards for current rev enue, aud that tariff should be wisely adjusted to protect home industry with out fosteriug monopolies, and to afford good return fbt labor without unequal taxation " In other words, Mr. Ilen dricks simply repeated, in a condensed form the doctrine of the Pennsylvania Democracy as laid down by Mr. Randall himself. If the Democracy of this Un ion propose to array themselves against the announced policy of Ohio. Penusyl I vania, Virginia. North Carolina aud the undoubted policy of Indiana, New Jer sey, Connecticut and New York, no prophet need come from the dead to predict that overwhelming disaster will befall them and their candidates. But, as an antidote to the assumptions of oth er men, who assail Mr. Randall, let that gentleman be heard in his own defense, and let the record of his true Democracy, which is that from Washington to Polk, he. placed alougside the fabrications of his accusers. Many papers attacking Mr. Randall have not dared to publish what he himself has said on the subject of the tariff. They know too well that their guns would be spiked. We shall see whether the Register has the courage of its conscience as well as of its opin ions.?Augusta Chroniele and Constitu tionalist. Served Him Right. Some months ago Calvin Mosby. a white farmer of Henrico county, Va., caught Peter Dlckson, a negro, stealing corn from his field. The farmer shot at him but missed him. The negro was afterward caught1 convicted and sent to jail for three months. After servmg out his term he displayed the necessary ability as a Mahoueite, and his political disabilities were removed by Gov. Cam eron. Mosby, the farmer, is also a Mahoneite, and recently a meeting was held for the purpose of electing a dele gate to the county nominating conven tion. Dicksou ran against and beat Mosby by a large majority for the posi tion of delegate to the convention. The following desperate freak of a lunatic is roported from Tarboro, N. C, as occurring last Tuesday: "While the public school near Williamston was in session, Abner Eason, a lunatic, broke down the door, and armed with a club, entered. He believed that he had been doomed to eternal torment unless he offered a'sacrifice of two hundred female children and calculated on kdling twenty eight in the school room. He at ouce began the attempt and girls were felled right and left by his club. He was sur rounded by the boys and their teacher, and was only overpowered after he hart been knocked senseless. Some of the girls were painfully but, ifris believed, uof fatally hurt. James V. Moore, of Sumter county, was so badly cut by a: gin last week that it was necessary, to amputate his arm. from the effects of wiutfb he died. - Hed Store.

Sept 20-3mos A Wime?* Wortb.lffeariugr. reat Consternation at Mathew vT son's Hotel, Westminster, S. c?A Life Saved !?It is Now Urs Vade Me cum.-Mr. H. C. ERMINGER of the firm of Erminger & Goldsmith, large Candy manufacturers Atlanta Ga., cheerfully and gratefully gives us the following wonderful facts: "I reached Westminister August the 19th? that night 1 was seized with a violent attack of Cholera Morbus.1 Fifteen actions on the bowels occurred in less than four hours. The pains kept on increasing and the actions on my bowels were more fre 3uent. The usual remedies, Paregoric, araaica Ginger, &c, were promptly, vigor ously and persistently used, but without avail. The symptoms were growing worse and these remedies were more than useless. Bv a lucky and happy thought NORMAN'S NEU TRALIZING CORDIAL was procur ed and one dose, in a few minutes, brought marked relief and four or five more effected a complete cure. Before 1 began the use of this medicine, I was In the greatest agony, my bowels unchecked, and I was so com pletely exhaused as scarcely to be able to speak: above a whisper. Tne relief was so sudden and so complete, that I could hardly realize it, and I knew no bounds to the ex pression of my gratitude, for the remedy that saved me from impending death I now feel, I am doing a service to my fellow men in letting them know its merits that they also may have its aid in time of their danger. The traveling salesman of the Wholesale Grocery firm of A. C. Wyly, At lanta, Ga., Mr. Matthewson the Hotel pro prietor, and others will cheerfully testify to the above facts." Truly and Gratefully Yours, H. C. ERMINGER. In Atlanta. Ga., on Friday, W.
