Speaking )d this bill Dr. Cro88on said good cads are an index to the prosperity >f a country, Lexington ..has both ;!ay and sand and he noticed the :>road tire wagons used by the mill nen were good for the roade.

The bill was finally killed. HOUSE -THURSDAY. Little work was accomplished almost the entire time of the house being devoted to the Ellerbe memorial. Eleven bills passed to the thiid reading without objection. Mr. Sharpe's bill to amend the County Government Act, so far as it affects Lexington county, passed the | j J: u:ii f?i eeujiiu itauiiig. iuo uui is as iui!ow?: "Section 1. That secticns 1 and 10 of an Act entitied "An Act to amend an Act entitled 'An Act to provide for the county government of the various counties of this State,''' he amended so that, as amended, the said section read as follows: "Section 1. That there shall be in each of the counties of this State a County Bjrrd of Commissioner?, I which shall be composed of the 1 County Supervisor, who shall be j elecu d and hold office as now provided by law, and two Commissioner?, who shall be appointed by the Governor, j upon recommendation of the mem- J bars of the General Assembly from Crippled by Rheumatism. Those who have Rheumatism find themselves growing steadily worse all the while. One reason of this is that . the remedies prescribed by the doctors contain mercury and potash, which ultimately intensify the disease by causing the joints t-o swell and stiffen, producing a severe aching of the bones, o. 8. S. has been curing Rheumatism for twenty years?even the worst cases which seerged almost incurable. Capt. 0. E. Hughes, the popular railroad conductor, of Columbia, S. C., had an experience with Rheumatism which convinced hia that there is only or.e cure for that painful disease. He says: "I was a great sufferer from mus- / cular Rheumatism for L Eva two years. I could get no permanent relief Irom any medicine pre- fr ? v M scribed by my physician. J I took about a dozen hot- jlapgsS* r . ties of your S. S. 8., and now I am as well as I -Sg&Kftaaps ever was inmy life. I am surest hat your medicine ^j recommondit to any one A auffering from any blood disease." Everybody knows that Rheumatism is a diseased state of the blood, and only a blood remedy is the only propel treatment, but a remedy containing potash and mercury only aggravate! the trouble. S.S.S.riLBlood being Purely Vegetable, goes direct to the very cause of the disease and a permanent cure always results. It is ihe only blood remedy guaranteed to contain no potash, mercury or other dangerous minerals.

An Address, Delivered Before the 1 I Cjunty Alliance At Its Meeting Held Friday, Janu ary 12tb, by J. W. Dreher, Esq , ! and Published by Request of the \ County Alliance. Nature has greatly blessed this 1 aw/4 r\f Ajira I i ueauiliui CUU1JJ uuuiuiauu Ul V/Ui a ; I and its adaptability to all the produc- | ? tion9 of agriculture and horticulture j c unrivaled by other lands makes us i peculiarly a rural and agricultural t people. p Nature and nature's god has been r so indulgent to us that we, like spoilt \ t children, did not have any perception p or care as to what would add to our r material prosperity or future well r being. Long since the people of the f North, living as they do in an un- p yielding ice clad country, turned their p attention to the arts and manufac- ii turies. And after having us in every f conceivable way to assist them in f: making and increasing their wealth, t have found out that we, in our slow- n go-easy way, are taking on some cf t their energy and enterprise in estab- c lishing plants for the manufacture of j d various articles in merchandise right j n here in the midst of the raw materials, j 1 adding millions annually to taxable v values and the country's wealth a The far sighted, shrewd Yank'es, seeing that they cannot compete successfully with us so far away, are not slow in getting on the move with their capital, and coming down South ^ and taking possession of the land in ^ various places by building and manufacturing. ^ Brothers, for many years the farm- 81 ing interest has been injured, op- u pressed and crippled through a money stringency and otherwise, ^ causing the agricultural population a to be greatly reduced by going into v other occupations. Then this country i3 supplying her own army, as well as the armies of other countries ? with horses, mules and meat animals. These causes have reduced or lessened animals by the millions, which will make an increasing de- J" mand for them for time to come. I am fully convinced in my own n mind that the time has come when thedemaidfo: all that the farmer produce and raise will be above the ^ supply, and for a long time to come will give him a paying market that ^ ? 211 ? ? ? ? J Vn % rv> f/M? win rtjvvaru ui jcuiuuciaio uiui *\ji his labor. n Oar South?our grand old South? v is on an expanding and an enduring boom that will bring gladness to our t, hearts with prosperity?that is the g expansion we love?not that impe- e rial kind that comes through an alii- a ance with this government with Old c England, our enemy, to acquire the p country of heathens and barbarians t with the blood and lives of thousands t of our brave soldiers and the expen- r diture of many millions of money I for the purpose of killing out the il democratic principles of our father?, li while England is stealing through highway robbery, by force of arm% * without legal or moral law, to pos- i sess herself of the Transvaal coun- i t try because it is rich in gold and dia- c mond mines. Somehow I don't t know whether it is right or not. I r feel like I would rejoice if the Boers c would bore them to death and out of j their country. t But, let us return more directly e along the line of the question. The g farmers have a bright future before c them. The South has been gradually t improving and bettering her condi- t tion through diversified farming; and c with hand3 growing less year by t year by removing to turpentine, e wood and mill business, the farmers c are exerting themselves in supplying j this deficiency of labor through im- j i proved machinery and learning the i scientific and intensive system of en- l riching their lands and making as j much and more on a smaller \ area, and making two blades of grass ' ( grow where only one grew before? j with the 8U millions oi people 01 mis ) country, and many others drawing large supplies from this nation, it seems conclusive that this demand j ' will always be above the supply, then when we see the various enterprises, ' and factory towns sprioging up all over the country, bringing markets ] nearer, making trucking and all ' money getting industries of the > farmers easier. i 1 "While heretofore the grain crops ^ ' ABSOWIEOT) Makes the food more de HQVAl 6AKINO PQVti lave not been very remunerative, hey can be made so by feeding to inimals for moat. With tho above jonclusions, which I belive to be corect, it stands in reason for farmers o be in a position to make an overdus of money which will seek investnsnt, and with those who are so forunate as to be blessed with it at j sresent, I verily believe that there is lothing that would be as safe with a ore handsome dividend as cotton actiries. In fact all manufacturing >lants are enriching the country and aying good dividends. Investments real estate are solid, but in this ast age the interest or dividend rom the same is insufficient, the rend of the greatest moneyed busi688 is in manufacturing. Between be man who manufactures the merhantable article and the one who igs and delves to produce the raw laterial there is no comparison. )nerefore, I think it advisable to inest all surplus earnings in cotton nd other factories. Bobbed the Grave. A startling incident, of which John tiiver, of Philadelphia, was the subset, is narrated by him as follows: I was in a most dreadful condition, ly skin was almost yellow, eyes unken, tongue coated, pain continally in back and sides, no appetite -gradually growing weaker day by ay.

I heard a rather startling statelent at Charleston the other day rhich suggests a profitable subject Dr investigation. It was asserted hat at least 75 per cent, of the ne;ro population in the State were illitrate and can neither read nor write, nd at the same time only 15 per ent. of the colored convicts in the or\/4 fcf/M-mof/aru inofi 'UJUlieuuai jr auu iciviuiuvutj ?mw?* utions are illiterate. Ia other words, he ratio of education to crime is the everse of what it should be, and if hese figures are correct it is only an [lustration of the old adage that "a ittle learning ia a dangerous thing." I asked Senator Tillman of this iras true. He said he was notfamilar with the figures but should judge hat it was probably correct, because luring his term as Governor he obained a familiar knowledge of the inflates of the reformatory institutions >f the State, both by the frequent apfiications for pardons and as a mem)er of the board of visitors. His oblervation had taught him that the jreat majority of the colored people sonvicted of crime belonged to the he younger generation, born since he close of the war and under coalitions which made it easy for them o obtain at least the rudiments of an :du(a ion, and that the cause of the irimes was the desire to gratify van ity and imitate the dress and behavor of the whites.
