Drayton*, editor | and proprietor of the \iken Recorder, died on the 7th inst of pneumonia. He had been sick eleven day?. are several politicians in Sonth Carolina who oppose Grover Cleveland. As Grover is to be the next President, hadn't they better haul off? Gkeenville is stirring herself to have a gala week in the summer, and wants the press association and the military encampment to hold their meetings there. White, the unnaturalized conlestee for a seat in Congress, has been declared eligible and his right to the seat confirmed. Fortv Democrats voted > with the Republicans. The Xew York Herald thinks "it is more than probable that Do Lesseps' Panama ditch if it is ever finished will . not be big enough to hold all the poor fellows who have died while digging it." The Charleston World wa> established on the 7th inst. as a morning daily- It is an eight-page paper and contains the latest dispatches. Its first issue is one that commends itself to the reading public of the State. ' In view of the probability of the r>assf*2e of the bill to refund the cotton tax, a syndicate has been formed to buy up cotton claims at twenty-five cents on the dollar. Congressman Dibble advises claimants not to seil, as it is his opinion that the claims will be paid in fall.* Henry Georgk, the .great antipovertv apostle, announces that he will support Cleveland and the Democratic party. George, in his crusade, was at one time thought to be a serious menace to the Democratic party of New York and the country, bat his vote proved that the Democrats could do without him, afid his return will not be a cansc f-?r any extra amount of rejoicing. The pension Act appropriates $50,0C? for disabled soldiers. The number of applications so far show that this snm is inadequate. If we are to pension soldiers at all it should not be done in a niggardly manner. The S50,000 already appropriated will hardly last three months. As these pensions arc not payable until fall, the Legislature can then see by the record of applications exactly what is needed and can then act according to the ligbt tnus given tnem. Few people In the South had any donbt as to who was responsible for the burning of Columbia. The question has again been brought before the public by a reprint in the Sunday News of Senator Hampton's letter written years ago. It is there conclusively proven that the soldiers of Sherman's army did it, if not by command of the General at least with his approbation. So this much-circulated falsehood is forever nailed. The article makes a very bad showing for the veracity of General Sherman, which indeed has never been ihe best. The Savannah News notes the fact that a great many plantations in different parts of the South, which were once well known for their size, the magnificence of the residences upon them, are now falling into rains. The explanation of this is that the lauds have become worked out and that nnder the present system of labor they will not pay. It says that in one district of Georgia, ouce noted for intelligence and wealth of its citizens, the great plantations have been divided into small farm?, and the superb mansions once the homes of men, noted for wealth and cnlture, are falling into decay. A farmers' clnb in Laurens, in a long set of resolutions, condemns Gov. Richardson as a man unfit for the office he occupies because he did not recommend in his message the measure proposed by the Tillmanites; charges him and the whole government with being "aristocratic;" reiterates the charge long since disproven that the government as it stands has ^ only one ooject m view?me uuer annihilation of the farmers. No sensible man will believe any such stuff, and a synopsis is given only to show what the real Tillman movement as advocated by its leader thought. It calls upon all farmers to organize on the above platform, we presume, but the call will- be iu vain, for every citizen high and low knows the charges to be false. % Senator Platt, in discussing the tariff Issue, said that the President's message meant the final and absolute destruction of the protective system; that it meant practical and absolute free trade, and that it could result in nothing else than the entire downfall of the protective system. As wc understand it, at present there are no absolute free traders organized as a party. What is wanted now is redaction. Bat as far as the majority of the people of this country is concerned, the absolute and final destruction of the protective system would be a measure hailed with delight, and if the President's message will eventually lead to that, why, let it lead, and that very briskly. If the matter was left to the people instead of politicians the "final destruction of the protective system" would occur very shortly. IsacKlen's Arnica saive.

From an extract taken from the Manufacturers' Record, in another j column, it is seen what efforts are being made to iuduce immigration to the South. What is done for South i Carolina? As far as known sue is one of the least advertised States in ; Uie South, while at the same time she | presents the jrrealest inducements as j j to climate, soil and government. At- j J tention to her vast resources is the one j j thing needful to induce the tide of j immigration to her borders. We notice that a railroad agent at the North has written recently for information concerning onr State, and has ? i been furnished the desired information by the Board of Agriculture. | Has (he board any other information j of this kind to distribute generally? If it has, it ought to be done, and if it has not, the Legislature should not j be slow in giving it to this board. &oo<i .Roads. One of the .inanv good ways to induce trade to a town is having good roads leading to it. In this matter our town is abont on an average with others of its size aud importance, but still there is some room for improvements, especially on the road leading to town past the residences of Messrs. I Creight and Doty. It is very necessary that the roads j - J I leading to town be Kept in as ^oou condition as possible, and the section referred to above becomes almost impassible during a wet spell. It is true that the corporate limits of the town do not oxtend any further than Mr. Creight's, and the County Commissioners are directly in charge of this part of the road, but would it not be advisable for the Council to; unite with the Commissioners and build a road bed that would be sufficiently drained to prevent its being so badly cut up during the winter sea| son? In the present embarrassed con dition of the county nnances u is impossible for the Commissioners to do very much road work, but with the aid of the town and neighbors the road officers would be able to greatly improve ihe road and thereby facilitate communication between the town and that section of the county. * With a brand new park in one end of the town it will never do to allow a mortar-bed to remain in the other?a reproach to the enterprise of the community. The Xext Democratic Convention. San Francisco wants the Democratic Convention and she is making a great effort to obtain it. It is said that San Francisco is rich and that 110 money would oe spared to entertain the delegates. It is also rumored that San " " "~ " t-n fhp I JP 1'ailCISUU IS ?1 uau IV Convention, from the fact that she is so desirous to entertain them that the thing might be carried too far, and the Convention might not be able to attend to its duties. The contest so far seems to be between New York and San Francisco. It is said that politically New York# is divided as to the different factions in that State, and that notwithstanding she is reasonably sure for the Democracy, and it is therefore of no importance in holding the Convention in New York. The Democrats have a fighting chance in both California and Oregon, and if by holding the Convention in San Francisco it will help the party, we are in favor of ft. It matters little where the Convention is held, tor Cleveland will be the nominee. The Democrats of New York are divided at present, but in a national contest they always unite. While New York would be an. excellent place to hold the Convention, still we think that San Francisco should have it, from the fact, if nothing else, that the far West has little or no voice in the matter of votes, and a recognition of this seclion would be eminently wise on the part of the Democratic party. Decrease in Xegro Population, A writer in the Philadelphia Times thinks that the negro population is dying out in the South, and believes that the next census will prove his theory. The writer, referring to a certain section in Georgia, notes the decrease referred to, and assigns as a reason that they have left their old homes and wandered about until broken down by hardships they die. Another reason assigned is, that the negro of to-day is thriftless and disinclined to do honest work even when !" (Via nanirc nf hiincrpr. Thftrfi ulogu V?T w* - ? can be no doubt that the death rate among the negro population is greater than among the whites, owing to their disregard of the ordinary laws of health. They die faster now than before the war, but there is no imme-.diate cause for alarm that our negro population will all die out and become extinct in the South for some time to come. The birth rate among the negroes largely exceeds the death rate, and if it were not for this cause perhaps in two hundred years or more the race might become extinct. As far as South Carolina is concerned, and in this county especially, there is no noticcable dimunition,but on toe contrary mev seem tw inuctuc *ciy rapidly, judging from the immense throngs that can be seeu any Saturday on the streets of the towns in the county. We think, therefore, that those alarmists who periodically get into a flutter on account of the dying I negro need worry themselves no longer. A Whited Sepulchre. It is probable that a vote 011 the Blair abomination will be taken today, and the prospect is that this same hypocritical bill will pass the Senate. Hypocrisy is at the bottom of it all, notwithstanding the very /-.nof-ina- flint h?15 hf>Pn Snrefld around it by the so-called promoters of universal education. The objectionable features of the bill have been shown in these columns anu the columns of oJher journals in the State. This morning, however, we want to show the real animus of the bill, so that our readers may form a- more [ perfect conception of its abominable f fjpsicrn. Xo better words can be found i than the words of the Arch-Universal j Educator, Senator Blair himself. Hear j him. What have we (the Republican party) done to vindicate the ballotbox in the South? Since 1876 not one thing that is of tangible and practical value to the colored population to which we gave the franchise, but failed to give the common schools when we had control practically in the South. That colored population is turned over we know utterly, and must be forever unless reached by the I introduction of schools wh?ch will reach both races alike. T. is given over wholly and totally, and it is a ^ f f ftf HP j\ f 1 beilieu li.YCU CUIlUiUUli auu aiatuo v/1 that colored population of the South to-day that they are not voters, that they are not citizens as a rule. I believe that as thoroughly as the Senator from Nebraska, and breaking simplv as a Republican politician, I assert that this measure should be enacted, into a law for the purpose of spread-. ing the principles of the Republican party and as the only possible way of doing it hereafter. 1 There is the naked, unvarnished : truth. A bill to promote universal Republican principles?universal destruction of the best interests of the South. Yet there are Democratic Senators from the South who warmly support this bill and Democratic journals encourage them in the i fight. When the measure comes to | the House we believe it will be killed, : and we hope the everlasting thing will be buried beyond resurrection. If it | should pass the House by any means, i as Senator Vest said in a recent speech, "the brave and honest man who is President of this Republic will prove false to the principles of his life and of the great party which elected ; him if he does not interpose his execu-1 tive veto in the path of this pernicious and undemocratic measure." Immigration to tho South. (Manufacturers' Rccord.) Throughout the South there is great interest in' tVj question of how to secure immigration. Florida, Texas and Arkansas are probably leading in the vigor with which the work is being pushed, but the central South through the Immigration Convention lately organized at Chattanooga promi$es?t.o take active part in this important matter. The success of these efforts must, we think, rest very largely with the railroads. If they co-operate heartily in this movement and lead in it as the Western roads have done for so many years, then we will soon see weil-to-do people fro a the j North and West crowding into the QUllUl 111 Vtil UUIHWiCt A **V world may know something of the matchless resources of the South and its balmy climate, but, except in a comparatively few instances, they will, not follow up their knowledge by removing South until by persistent work the matter has been -forced day after day upon their attention. When this is done, and through the bleak ice-bound regions of the Northwest a genuine Southward immigration fever hos been developed theii the good work will have started.

The ' disease commenced with a slight derangement of the digestion, | with a poor appetite, followed by a peculiar indescribable distress in the stomach, a feeling that has been described as a faint "all gone" sensation, a sticky slime collecting about the teeth, causing a disagreeable taste. This sensation was not removed by food, but, on the contrary, it was increased. After a while the hands and feet became cold and sticky? a cold perspiration. There was a constant tired and languid feeling. Then followed a dreadful nervousness, ' with gloomy forebodings. Finally the patient was unable to retain any food whatever, and there was constant pain in the abdomen. All prescribed remedies failing to give relief, a consultation was held, when it was decided that the patient had a cancer in the stomach, and in order tosave the patient's life an operation was justifiable. Accordingly, on the 22d of February, 1883, the operation was performed by Dr. Vance in the presence of Dr. Tuckernian, Dr. Perrier, Dr. Arms, Dr. Gordon, Dr.Capner, and Dr. Halliwell of the Police Board. The operation consisted in laying open the cavity of the abdomen and exposing the stomach and bowt>3s. When this had been done an examination of the organs wasjgaade, but to the horror and THsmay of the doctors there was no cancer to bo found. The patient did not have a cancer. When too late the medical men discovered that they had made a terrible mistake; but they sewed the parts together and dressed the wound that they had made, but the poor woman sank from exhaustion and died in a few hours. How sad it must be for the husband of this poor woman to know that his wife died from the effects of a surgical operation that ought never to have been performed. II this woman tad taken the proper remedy for Dyspepsia and Nervous Prostration (for this was what the disease really was), she wonld have been living to-day. Shaker Extract of } Loots, or Seigel's Curative Syrup, a remedy made expressly for Dyspepsia or Indigestion, has restored many such cases to perfect health after all other kinds of treatment have failed. The evidence of its , efficacy in curing this class of cases is too voluminous to be published here; but those who 'read the published evidence in tavor 01 twa ayspepno remeay o not question its convincing viture, and the article has aextensile sale.
