Such u course! ' Ists some little labor but It repays better 'A Ian the same amount of work performed In \ .i [her ways. The people of any one county,; |r instance, are more interested In the mat-. M Irs pertaining to their own county and the j bighboring county than anything else in the I per, while the space thus required is small |. pd never falls to interest. j Home of the dailies however make but little i ?' ko of the country papers. The Qreenville }l Vws is one of this class. That for instance,! :J kietly takes the Daily Register as his file F kuler and looks to that paper perhaps more P] Ian to any other for his uewg matter. The >, eg inter itself seldom looks at a country pajr. but when it does do so, makes what we , >nsidar an excellent column or two of read- P ' ig matter. The Phanix, though a small pa- ^ ?r. seldom misses anything of importance " i any part of the State, whetlier to be found a country or city paper. Our friend Stokes ? the Union Ttnies, reads the Spartanburg " erald and Spartan as regularly as he looks to his prayer book, and but little in either these papers escapes his eyes. Ha looks to! e Greenville, Columbia and Charleston dal-; d< >8 for the makeeup of his paper, while he | b< ed to glance at the Charlotte Observer occas- is naliy. After reading the Spartanburg pa-! w I bra, lie seml-occuslonally glances over mc rn uurentxille Herald and the .-1 tulcrson Intelli- in h?eer. The Abbeville papers he opens about fo kree times a year. The Spartanburg papers K; wd the Union Time* regularly, and open Ab- T5i pville papers perhaps twice a month, while O ley watch every Issue of the Enterprise and Jount'iineer. The LaurensciUe Jfcrald reads i Cr [e Abbeville, Newberry, Greenville and i X InetyHix papers: after that he looks to the i C< ty editor* almost entirely for his news, j 01 lie Newberry //irraWJroads his Abbeville, ! lureusand I nion papers, and occasionally Gi toks at the A,nder*on Intelligencer and the | ' rringlon Dispute)??beyond these he soldom ] to Mds a country paper.

The Winnxboro I w ewt and Iferuidlx I a n ces at a majority of his | ipers, and never fuiU to make an excellent lumn extracted therefrom. The An<lerson\ , iurnut and the Sinctj/Six Guardian skirmish ' ound considembly among their exchanges. I ie l*ickeiu t&Ulnel reads the Anderson,! :f alhaila, and Greenville papers, nfter which I > looks to his city brethren. The Kevwce \ * <urier keeps a sharp lookout for news In all "J larters.

Why? because medical I j men, who of all others sliouid iiave been the ; I last to encourage such an unpiiiiosophical j and dangerous assumption, have insisted up' | on and pro imputed It with a persistency which - - in t fit< iif?lit of science ISt'UinK iliUIUDL vvtivv- 0--anil of truth. We used tlie term 'dangerous' advisedly, lor what tan bo more depressing ; j aud injurious to tlie consumptive than brood? ing over the Idea?founded solely upon the t1 Hat of his physician?tluit his malady is mortal, and that tbi utmost tluit can be done lor f ihiui is to render his exit from this world as t easy as possible. Such melancholy aud hopeless reflectionsa>; this belief engendersamong . consumptive patients, du as much, if not i I! more, to hasten their departure for the land _j of shadows, as the tubureles in their lungs. . Away with such a hopeless theory. Happily 31 the (iKEAT Mast Kits ok Medicim-: have en5 tercd their protest against it and confuted by the most positive testimony the monstrous fallacy. .Dangerous as pulmonary phthisis is, w its terrible ravages may be stayed and the lungs restored to a sound condition even after , suppuration has taken place. Eyery ejJperi" enceu surgeon knows that post mortem examinations of aged persons who liave died in t the ordinary course of nature have repeatedly r disclosed the traces of pulmonary ulcers 0111 tlreiy cicatrized. The argument, therefore, s agaiust the possibility of healing a pulinonu ry abscess because the immediate seat of the disease cannot. be reached, lias not a leg to I stand upon. Over fifty instances or the disp eovery of cicatrized ulcers In the lungs liave c been recorded by the medical faculty of Paris, i* and such eminent authorities as Hevinus, Malphighi, i)u llacn and scores of others, i French, hnglish and German, mighteasily be t.. imivn itu-ir certain curability. To trout any malady rationally Its character I and morbid influence must be known. The dissecting knife has disclosed nil the internal characteristics of consumption. We know t, tlmtktubercles in the lungs vary In size from r> j gratifies smaller than a pin's head to that of j! a large bean. These develope into open ulcers j technically known as vonilcal which aftcr^1 wards spread over a surface sevcial inches in , | diameter. Their sacs are tilled with a yellow, ' greenish, grayish matter generally very ollenjslve. The membrane itself is greatly in| llair ed, and the ends of the pulmonary artery v i and vein connecting with the diseased parts -1 are clogged with vitiated and purulent mucus. I Death must ensue either from sutl'oeation or | hemorrhage if speedy relief is not obtained. - ft is obvious that something is required which will enable the sufferer to raise and . eject the poison rankling in his lungs, and 1 choi'lng the air passages, and which will also allay the grievous irritation of the inllamed parts. No preparation known to materia e medica accomplishes this double object so effectually and speedily as Holloway's i Coc?ii Co ks and Lung Balsam. That int comparable remedy loosens and liquifies the j poisonous ur?'l foetid accumulations in the ; lungs and bronrhiie, subdues with wonderful ^. rapidity the inflammation of the diseased .. | parts, and prevents the possibility of licmorrI huge. At thesame time it tones and strengthens the muscles of the throat and enables thent to throw off the vitiated matter without 0 | straining. The transcendent merit oflloi.LOway's Cough Cuke a.vl' I.ung Balsam is n I the thoroughness with which it does Its work. Its immense superiority to the multitude of _i<itllcial and proprietary medicines, designed j for a similar purpose, which ha vepreceded it, , t lies in the fact that it is an Absolute Era d leant ls I of pulmonary and throat diseases, while they at the best were merely palliations. It is not I Ir ' alone that the preparation dislodges the puls. monic virus, it possesses balsamic properties a peculiarly udapted to soothe the lacerated lung, while by its tonic operations it greatly J facil Hales unci hasten^ the healing prtve^s. | As a preventive Holloway's Cough Co.he I and Lung Balsam 1h equally cmcaciouo. Coughs, especially the dry hacking coughs which are so common, are terribly fruitful I sources of consumption. The sufferer at tlrst >g has a feeling of rawness in the throat, tighte I ness across the chest, then dangerous inflammation sets In, which may give rise to hctn| orrhage or the formation of vomlcal, if it is id | not speedily checked and the cough loosened. ?-1 holloway'a Cough Cuke and Lung Baln |sam accomplishes this with a degree of < - ; promptitude and certainty which astonishes h j the patient. No type of throat, lung or bronn I ehlal disturbance can resist its curative influ' enee. It overcomes tiie most dbstinate forms sr | df this class of disorders, and breaks up at y | once the most violent paroxisms of coughing. j All it* ingredients are pure j vegetable. Some it1 of them are called from sources entirely new id to pharmacy, and all are possessed of uroperI ties of marvelous remedial el lie; icy. 'Iheunet solicited testimonials which its proprietors have been constantly receiving since its intro>n ductton to I lie public, from persons who have p j experienced or wituessed its wonderfully benss | etlcial eflccts, fully justify the belief that It c. i must ere long, become the Standard Amkr?r ican sl'ecihc for all diseases of the J.
