La Grippe, for Golds, Coughs,
AND LUNG TROUBLES,
CHERRY
1 (.n U PECTORAL
" Two years ago, I had tlie grippe,
and it left me with a cough which gave
me no rest night or day. My family
physician prescribed for me, changing
the medicine as often as he found tiie
things I had taken were not helping
me, but, in spite of his attendance, I got
no better. Finally, mv husband,?reading
one day of a gentleman who had
had the grippe and was cured by taking
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.?procured, for
me, a bottle of this medicine, and before
I had taken half of it, I was cured. I
have used the Pectoral for my children
and in my family, whenever we have
needed it, and have found it a specific
for colds, coughs, and lung troubles."?

Anderson Intelligencer.
It looks surprising and unaccountable
to me why the people of Anderson
and other towns can lie supinely
down and allow our legislators to
make fools and knaves of themselves
to the utter ruin of the State without
raising a hand to prevent it.
Are you aware that South Carolina
is the richest, most prosperous and
most enterprising State south of
3foson and Dixon's liasi That she
Manufactures more cotton, runs more
HHHHindles and looms, oil mills, phosBH^Hhate
works, etc., than any other
HHffKouthern State ? That she has more
BH^Phanking capital, discounts, deposits
HBS and ready money ner canita. and that
y y j- IT >
she makes more cottoD, com, &c.,
both per capita and acre than any
other State south of tbe Deleware?
Now, these magniflcient results
-are undoubtedly owin// to laige
counties, with every /Ounty site a '
large and prosperous/*.ity, with their
immense cotton fap'jries, oil, lumber
and other mills, /.c., wiih splendid
graded schools/ .lectric lights, water |
works, &c., where a farmer can sell j
anything from a thousand bales of
cotton to a dozen eggs, or buy any- ;
thing from a car load of mules to a
Jews harp.
South Carolina is now, owing to i
large counties, the "Empire State" of
the South. Contrast her with Geor
gia?with her 159 or more little precincts
called counties?and what do j
you see? Instead of large flourish-;
lDg cities in every county iurmsmng ;
good markets for farmers to sell or j
buy anything they please, you will ;
i see 150 or *200 little cross roads ham- j
ft lets, with not a man in them able to
W" buy 50 bales of cotton or sell 100;
jj barrels of flour.
The logical result of this new
county scheme will be finally to cut
four counties from Anderson. Now,
take four fifths of its patronage from
k the city of Anderson leaving the
same amount of county taxes and
f what will she become? Look at Old
Pendleton and reflect.
The most tyrannical, not -to say
rascally, part of the whole new |
county scheme is the sequestering of
>?- a ortion of our county and adding
it .o the jurisdiction of another with- :
out the consent of the people interested.
This is contrary to every
principle of international law and i
justice, an.A if done, the people of ,
Anderson should appeal to the courts
in rotation, and that failing, to a
still higher tribunal.
The citizens of Anderson should j
Dot delay a siDgle day in raising two
or three hundred dollars and sending
two or three good and true men to J
Columbia to work against this crazy
and ruinous scheme.

One of 2?orgen's Raiders.
mpT *" ... I
^ Gen. John B. Castleman, of Louis- j
ville, Ky., is in the city. Gen. Cas- j
tleman was one of Morgan 's raiders,
and during the war was captured
upon one occasion, tried and condemned
to be shot. While under
guard of a detachment of Federal
i soldiers in a depot at Chicago he saw
j one of his friends who wouid have
j been arrested also had he been reI
cognized. Castleman walked up to
| a well dressed youDg man standing
| near and asked him if he would do a
j favor for a man who was about to be
! shot. The youDg man said that he
would, and then Castleman pointed
out his friend and requested the
stranger to go to him and tell him
that he was in danger and had better
leave Chicago at once. Upon receiv
ing Cistlemau's message the Confederate
hastened away. Castleman was
takau back to prison, but was reprieved
and got safely back to the
South. Some years after the war,
when he was Adjutant General of
Kentucky, he attended a banquet in
Louisville. Upon entering the room
he recognized the stranger who had
befriended him in Chicago, and walking
up to hiin he asked: "Do you
remember befriending a young man
in a Chicago depot during the war?
a young man who was about to be
shot by the Federals, and who got
you to warn a friend of danger.''
"Yes, I do remember the incident,"
replied the stranger. '-Well, I am
that youug man," said Gen. Castleman.
"I was not shot, as you will
see. My name is Castleman." "And
mine," replied the stranger, "is
Hanna.'' It was Judge Baylis W.
Hanna, a distinguished jurist of
Chicago.

marvelous r\esuus.
From a letter "written by Rev. J.
Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich.,
we are permitted to make this extract:
i4I have no hesitation in recommending
Dr. King's New Discovery
as the results were almost marvelous
in the case of my wife. "While I was
pastor of the Baptist Church at
Rivers Janction she was brought
down with Pneumonia succeeding
La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of
coughing would last hours with little
interruption and it seemed as if she
could not survive them. A friend
recommended Dr. King's New Discovery;
it was quick in its work and
highly satisfactory in results." Trial

A Haunted Tree. lr *
Last fall a party of coon hunters
from this city were in the woods in
this vicinity, and the dogs hunted
splendidly until they struck this old
tree. There they tucked their tails
between their legs and simply flew.
They whined and gave other evidences
of fear, and could not be coaxed
into hunting any more that night.
Finally the hunters themselves became
scared. One of them declared
he heard the sound of a voice as if
from some soul in deep distress.
This settled it. Every man in the
crowd suddenly remembered that he
had business in town and townward !
the whole layout proceeded without
further parleying or loss of time.
The next day an old gentleman residing
in Danville was told of the occurrence,
and he recalled the fact that
he had been one of the party which
had a similar experience near this
old tree three years ago, and he said
tnat tne spot naa oeen nauntea ior
many years. A long time ago an old
gentleman by the name of Louis
Streat was murdered for his money,
and the murderer had dragged the
body to the foot of this tree and covered
it with dried leaves. The murderer
was never punished by law. A
^young man named Henderson was
arrested, charged with the crime, and
at his examining trial was liberated
on $5,000 bail. He jumped his bond
and disappeared some time after- j
ward.
Went Up on the Cellar Door.
A farmer of Cynthian township,
says the Sidney, (Ohio,) Journal, j
came to town one day this week to j
make a few purchases. It happened
that he called at an establishment j
where an elevator is in use In ordtr
to furnish the articles desired, it was j
necessary to go into an upper story
and tbe salesman said to his customer:
"Just get on and we'll go up."
The startled granger looked
around, and said:
' On where?"
He was given the desired information,
and they started up. The upward
flight was evidently something
new to the farmer, and he attested
his appreciation of it by remarking:
"This beats all natioD, don't it ?"
The salesman smilingly remarked
that he rather thought it did. In
the meantime, a son of the farmer
became impatient, and came into the
store room below, looking for him.
The father, seeing his son stepped to
the hatchway and said:
' You can t come up here, sod; I
come up on the cellar door, and it's
up here yet!"

Nervous
, People often wonder why their nerves are ;
bo weak; why they get tired bo easily; |
why they start at every slight l ut j
sudden sound; why they do not sleep j
J naturally; why they have frequent j
headaches, indigestion and nervous
! Dyspepsia
' The explanation is simple. It is found in
that impure blood which is cont.in- |
ually feeding the nerves upon refuse ;
instead of the elements of strength and I
vigor. In such condition opiate and [
nerve compounds simply deaden and
i do not cure. Hood's Sarsanarilla feeds
the nerves pure, rich, red blood; gives
natural sleep, perfect digestion, is the
true remedy for all nervous troubles.

Spanking a Soldier.
A Confederate captain recently j
told Mr. J. A. Wutrous, a writer of j
"war stories," about two small boys
who, during tbo civil war, found
their way into Louisiana regiment to
which the captaiu belonged. Both
were from 10 to 12 years old, and both
had run away from home, and were
serving as drummers.
At the battle of Shiloh one of these
little fellows threw away his drum
early in the engagement picked up
the musket of a wounded soldier, and
fought like a young hero as long as
the battle raged.
Not long after the battle, while the
boy-soldier's laurels were still fresh
upon him, his mother learned where
he was and came after him. The
regiment was drilling at the time,
and the boy was with it. The mother
rushed upon the drill ground and
seized her boy.
"Bun away from home, will you?'
she screamed, "why, you are nothing
mnrfi than a habv. You come rif?ht
- ? - o
home with your mother." .
.As the boy showed some unwilling-'
ness, she tookbim across her ^knee.

She had to wait some littl^^l^^
for a chance to get away, and meantime
one of the soldiers saw the boy,
who was still crying, and asked if he
was crying because his mother hurt
him.
"No!" he shouted. "Do you suppose
a soldier like me would cry because
he was hurt? Didn't I fight
just as well as the best of them at
the great battle?"
"Yes, Johnny, but what are jou
crying about?"
"I'm crying because my moth<r

j The Banker's Little -Joke.
"When the bank directors were
j through their daily work of being
| told that everything was - all right
the president of the institution set
up the cigars and then spun this yarn: j
"I began as an errand boy and |
learned the banking business from
stem to gudgeon. I had neither
money nor influence on my side, but
I knuckled down tight and won my
way. I've seen runs on the bank
and saw a Denver cashier lay out
two robbers that tried to draw money
with their guns: but the worst scare
was after I had risen to the dignity
of paying teller. Our president had
a very perverted sense of humor, and
behind his solemn face he was often I
chuckling in some of the hidden recesses
of his anatomy. One afternoon
he called me into his private !
j
office, locked the door, had me take ;
a seat and kept me on the rack for i
five minutes by not saying a word, j
"At length he wanted to know, in !
I a stage whisper, whether I knew |
) that a large sum of money had been
I taken from the bank. I was thun- j
! der struck and must have looked I
guiltv, but managed to enter a dis- |
o * o
| claimer. 'Strange,' he said, 'very j
! strange. It's your business to know.' j
| Then lie asked me if I drank, gam-1
bled, gave theatre paities or paid j
attention to more than one girl at a
time. I was getting pretty warm,
when I heard a smothered rumble,
that became louder and louder. It
was old man's laugh working its way
to the surface. Then he took me by
the hand, patted me on the head, as
he did when I was messenger, and
told me that I was to be the cashier
with handsome increase of salary.
Judders, who then held the position,
was rrninf to retire at his own re
quest. That 'big money' had been
taken by a heavy [depositor to pay
for a silver mine."

Ths Wounded Confederate.
The following story is narrated by
Gen. Horace Porter, in his story
"Campaigning with Grant," published
in the Century Magazine:
While riding about the field Gen.
Grant stopped at a house and expressed
a desire to prepare some dis
patches. A number of wounded
were lying upon the. porch and in
the rooms: they had made their way
there in accordance with the usual
custom of wounded men to seek a
house. It seems to be a natural instinct,
as a house conveys the idea of
shelter and of home. I walked with
the mineral into a back room to see
whether there was a dry spot which
he might take possession of for a
short time, to write messages and
look over the maps.
As we entered there was seen sitting
in the only chair a Confederate
Lieutenant of infantry, who had been
shot in the left cheek, the ball passing
through his mouth and coming
out near the right ear. A mass of
coagulated blood covered his face
and neck and he presented a shock
ing appearonce. He arose the
moment we entered, pushed the
chair forward toward the general,
and said, with a bow, and smile, (
"Here, take my chair, sir." Gen.
Grant looked at him, and replied: (
"Ah; you need thaf chair much more
than I; keep your seat I see yon ^
abadly hurt." The officer answer

Pought to be able to get a leave to
io back hotac and see my girl but I ,
Reckon she wouldn't know me now.''
The general said, "I will see that
one of our surgeons does all in his
power for you," and then stepped
out of the room. He told one of the
surgeons w/ o was dressing the
wounds of our own men to do what
he could for the Confederate. We
did not hear what became of him
afterward. He probably never knew
that he had been talking to the general
in chief of the Yankee armies.
The dispatshes were afterwards written
in another room.

A Son's Love.
l
Professor Drummond might insert
in a new edition of "The Greatest
Thing in the World" this touching
story, told in the Contributor, of tne
winning power of love:
A mother was arrested for intoxication
and arraigned before the
judge. "Seven dollars and sixty
cents fine," said the judge, sternly.
But the woman had not a cent. Her
seven-year-old boy said to his liny
sister:
"Come on: we've got to get that
money or mam'll have to go to jail. A
Just wait, Mr. Judge, an' we'll get jfl
The children hurried out of the
courtroom, and, going from store
store, solicited contributions to
mam from going to jail," the
promised to return the raonjflfl^^^^HH
soon as he could earn
Soon he came back,
on
"There's^vo doTls^B^^TTudge^^
an' I can get no more now. I ain't
as big as mam, an' I can't do as / Sjl
much work; but if you'll just let me M
goto jail steaa o ner, ? u bid; -y
longer to make up for it."
The bystanders wiped their eyes ,
and a policeman exclaimed: #*j
''Your mother sha'n't go to jail, / J
my lad. if I have to pay the fine 'J
myself." ^
"I will remit the.fine, said the
judge. _ /
The mother in tears and clasping

would lead a better life.
