We have not a word to say against the Honorable, the board of Uounty Commissioners and their efficient Clerk, personally, neither singly or collectively, as private citizens; nor do we propose, nor have we ever at tempted, to besmirch their character. It is only their official character, and the way they have performed the duties pertaining to their high office that is such a stench in the nostrils of the people--it is this, and nothing more, that we have undertaken to show up. Their official acts are open to criti cism, condemnation, censure, or com mendation, and we, representing the mouth-piece of Pickens county, have seen fit to condemn some of their of ficial acts, because we thought they were wrong and the people ded it at our hands. m Ifwe .. e failed to make good our we have simply lied on them, to say the least of it; if we have made a good case, their records will bear up our statements and the Grand Jury will look into the matter, and their findings will be made public. In justice to the people of Pickens county and the Honorable Commis sioners, we would suggest that a good accountant be procured from outside of the county and the books of this office be carefully gone over and his findings publishezl so that we, the tax payers, may know where "they are at." The truth cannot hurt, and it is the best way to satisfy the people. The Honorable Board of Commis sioners, (simply or collectively,) their Cerk, or any of their friends, have a perfect right to reply to our editorial comments, and these oolumns are open for anything they wish to pub. lish. We gladly extend to them the same privilege we have taken-that of turning on the light. We could go on, and on, with prov able assertions of extravagance, mis management, etc., etc., but we do not care to so do, until a future time, for we have a Grand yury to look into the conduct of all of the officers, and if they do not probe to the bottom and give the taxpayers the light wanted and demanded on the subject, we will then begin to look after them. If the Commissioners are doing the best they can under the circumstan ces they need to be praised; if they are not doing their very best, thez mete out to them the righteous con demnation they so richly merit and deserve. Editor Sentinel-Journalh In justice to the County Commis. sione rs and myself, I desire to state that they do not pay nie any salary s County attorney. They only pay me for what I do and my charges are the same as to individuals for similar work. Indeed I am called upor many times for advice in little things that I do not charge for.

A sachet of long lasting fragrance can be made by keeping the peels of lemons that come into the household and mixing them with caraway seeds, says the Cincinnati Commercial Trib une. Take half an ounce of the powdered seeds and half a pound of the powder ed lemon peel. The peelings can be ground in an ordinary kitchen coffee mill. ~ Mix the two powders well together; and over it all pour a mixture of one and one-half drams of oil of lemon peel and three ounces of oil of bergamot. This makes a dainty powder for sachets to use in the bureau drawers, linen closets, hatboxes, handkerchief cases, etc. A rather expensive sachet, but one that pays well for the making, is com posed thus: Oil of Patchouli, one-half dram; oil of rose geranium. one-half dram; attar of roses, one-half dram; oil of sandal wood, one dram; oil of lavender, one dram; oil of cloves, one-half dram; oil of bergamot, three and one-half drams; extract of musk, one-half dram. WI well and add to two drains of this com pound one ounce of powdered orris root, one dram of Tonquin beans and two ounces of sifted pine sawdust. This is a favorite sachet for veil rolls and blouse boxes. The perfume can be renewed by drop ping occasionally a few drops of the scented oils on the sachets. How to Cure Puss of Mange. If your cat has the mange, mix sul phur and lard into a paste and rub well into the parts affected. Continue this treatment until the cat Is cured. An other cure for the mange is to take petroleum ointment or lard, a third as much sulphur, make into a smooth paste and rub well into the skin (mere patting on the fur will not help). Do this four or five times a day. Rs the Te Kind You Have Always Boughi signature af LAS LFYS TEWELER. Always on hand a ,elect stock of Jewelry, Watches, Clocks, Cuff Buttons, Brooches &c.

CASTORIlA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Alwas Bought LACKDRAIJGHIT THE ORIGINAL LIVER MEDICINE A sallow complexion, dizziness, biliousness anda coated tongue are common indications of liver and kidney diseases.

It is a certain preventive of cholera and Brirrht's disease of the kidneys. Titho kidneys re inforced by Tliedford 's Black. Draught thousands of persons have dwelt immune in the midst of yel low fever. Many families. live in r rfect health and have no other octor than Thedford's Black Draught.

I have used Thedford's Black.Draught forthree years and I have not had togo to a doctor since I have been taking it.
