Mil. 1'ibcell had a beautiful display ot his silk handkerchiefs one day this week. A nice bluuket was liuug in his window and the handkerchiefs of different colors pinned on in such a way as to spell the word Purcell." Mr. Dacls Hall, llio wonderful Indian Medicine man, who has performed some ef .the most wonderful cures in different pans of the Stale, will be located hero for a while and those who are sufferers from llheuma tisin and Blood Diseases, would tind it to their interest to try his remedies. . m The repair of Virgin .Street last week has been followed this week by much needed work on Judgment Street and sidewalk and ^ the repair of the sidewalk in other places where work was needed. Both of the named streets arc now in good cond^^j^^M frames and arranged in such a manner as ^ make the front of the store look almost like an art gallery. Last Saturday about $*?u0 worth of fruit drcos arrived here from the nursery of J. A an Lindl, in North Carolina. They go to the country .. und about Union, and some of them reuiaiu in town. With good luck our people ought to have plenty of nice fruit a few years hence. The young folks hail a candy stew a Mis.

T.\xi:s are due aud payable any time from the loth October to the Slst December. The treasurer leils us that ho has not oollected 5 per cent, of the taxes due in his trip over the ccuuiy. The amount of tax due from Union township, for instance, is upward* of 510,000and of this amount less than 510 has been paid iu, The treasurer says that he is almost rusty. Beware of the 1*> per cent, penalty. It attaches after the 31st Decern ber. We hope no ouo will be crowded out on the last day. If this should occur it would not be the first instance in the history of our county. Kead what ? THE*OLD RELIABLE" has to say about Minns. Tilf.jib were some who inferred from our piece last week, commending the action of our Town Council in its endeavor to stop the sale of liquor on Sundayt, that we were disposed to wink at illicit sales on week kdays. We wish to be understood on this point. We are emphatically ia favor of the execution of the law as it is, whether it be good, bad, or iadifTorcDt. It is not ourj to obey or disobey at pleasure, but it is our duty, as good cfe7.CU8, to obey, whethor we like the law or not. To do otherwise, and teach men eo, if carried to its logical conclusion, would lack only (he clement of violence to make it anarchy. Wc believe it is the duty of every .t. c-.-.- ... - .H.KU iu iu?j oiaic to leiivi jus influence to the enforcement of all of the declared law of the laud, and the special duly of all officials, State, County and Municipal, acting under the authority of the State.

We hnil hoped tbrt when the elcciiuis were over the country would bo freed from the contaminating iuflutnee of politics, but it seems that we are in n worse muddle now than wc we're before. From all parts of Sou'h Caroline, nod indeed from many of our sister Stater come cries of ' Fraud ! Fraud ! Fraud ! ! !*' It's the same old tale that wc were used to in childhood, and had rehearsed again in our oollege days. Our lives indeed are but different scenes of otio act. Wc romcnibcr well when we were boys (hat (here were always some among us who wlieu beaten in any game would always get mad and paut and maybe cry, and say "You didn't play fair." It may be that they were honest in their accusations, but we always thought it was only chagrin. Then when wc weut to college wc found the .-ante fellows there. When the foot bill or base ball team would go off and beat some other team, those fellows would come back home uikj spojik. in me most glowing terms ot I no skill of players on the other side, an! praise the umpire to the skies. But vrhen the team came home beaten they would eny "They cheated us. They didn't play fair." They would discourse eloquently about the awkwardness of the other side, and argue that such a weak team could best in any game, only when aided by glaring cheats and a most unjust umpit'o. For the umpire there was no word iu their very extensive vocabulary sufficiently opprobrious. He was classed alongside of Judas Iscarot, Nero and Francis Chartrcs. Such tales were always disgusting to us, aud the bearers of them deserving of nothing but pity mingled with contempt. We always admired the fellow who had the manhood to come up and acknowledge that he was beaten. Sometimes it took a good deal of manhood to do that. The umpire was human and therefore not infallible. He sometimes made mistakes, but then an honerable player would give him credit for common honnal v S5noli nla'dora oltratra a( aai) Kiirliaef i r* the estimation not on'y of Ihoir opponents, but also of their colleagues. Their protests, when made, which was very seldom, always rcceivod the unanimous support of their colleagues and were also invariably considered by the umpire and even had weight with opponents. But the man of whom it was kuown beforehand that he would be forever accusing some one of cheating his protests were ignored and considered as coming, as a matter of course. We are not sure but that most of the politicians who are now saying "You choatcd 1 You cheated !" belong to that class of professional "Fraud!' cxclaimcrs with which all of us are well acquainted. In entering politics they have certainly gotten into a field where they can practico their profession to their fill, and ucver be entirely without something to find fault with. We would not say that every man who complains of fraud is a professional grumbler, but we do say I that this year there is entirely too much Rbomplaint and too little proof to back it. It is utterly unreasonable "Mi* V |*r? 1 hm h?en am much fraii.^0 '? ^S'V L'>lH .ta no'.belteve. * -otl'sincss cr cn who - - - - . ?- .? ( had charge of the polls a'l over our State would so debase themselves as to sell their honor for a mess of pottage, by committing crimes for which they might be sent to tho penitentiary, when there was absolutely no necessity for it. We make no assertion ' whatever in regard to any particular politicians. 'J hey are much like other people. They generally do the best they can for themselves, lleing human, we presume that uost of them would do some wire pulling if it were necessary to their election, and an opportunity presented itself. Hut we have more confidence in humanity and in our fellow men than to think that a man who had no special interest at stake would cheat just to increase nit already large majority. In our own State we do not doubt but that there were seme mistakes. Take between fifteen hundred and two thousand unskilled men and require tlicm to go ihrsugh '.he formalities of an election, receiving certificates and votes, counting out and making up returns, acting at once in a judicial and executive capacity, it would certainly be I wonderful if a skillful man could not find ' a single tliiog that might be twisted into the shape of fraud. Some of our cotemporarics are urging discontented ones to "Investigate! Investigate ! !" If fraud lias been committed we think that the culprit ought to be punished; punished for the same reason that other criminals are punished, to vindicate the law. We believe in the execution of the whole law. The public, though it seems, has set itself up as judge. Some of us have too little reverence for (lie law. There aro too many of us who want that law executed which is in rccordancc with our ideas of right, and that law that is not in accordance with our ideas wc want ignored. But worse, if possible, than that, we get mad with the other fellow because lie docs not agree with us. It reminds us a little of the juryman who said that he had eleven of the contraries! men to deal with that he ever saw in his tir? We e largely attended by our bc9t and ablest farmers, aud that it may be produc-_ lion of good to the agricultural iutercst of the South. We do uot know what Mr. Rodtley has to propose. But we believe that it would be well werth the while of those who arc ab'e to attend this meeting and participate in the deliberations. OBITUARY. On Tuesday night ot' October lbih, 18P4, after raftering for months, suffering borne with beautiful resignation, sister I'hoeba Wood went borne to be with Jesus. It was my privilege to visit her durikg her sickness and talk with her about tho future. She gave me every evideuce of her complete resignation to Hod's will, and her <|uict beautiful waiting for the Mus'er's call was an object lesson of tho Christians abiding n;ul and loving faith. For many days her devoted children aud fiiends with soriowing hearts watched the dark death angel as he began to hover over her and tried to turn away the stroke, but all in vain. She, without a struggle, gently fell usleep in Jesus. She loavos many children and grnud tj-en lA^irnra hqr death. No more will.* _ lit MUL' mwll).. lxwr. .vuicii . These nre all stilled, and her bright presenee is gone forever. Though gene, she leaves the fragrauco of her memory as a lasting henediciijn upon those who loved her. She whs seventy years three weeks and two days old, hi) I was the mother of thirteen children, grandmother of seventy-four and great-grandmother of twenty-uino. She was a member of the M. K. Church for fifty eight years. She sleeps now where she delighted to worship. She will be missed ly loved ones and friends in the gatherings of God sfpeoplc on earth.
