A SATISFYING PLACE.-There is no
thiug -ore desirable than a good repu
tation, and w ieri once it is established
it should be maintained at all hazards;
and it is pleasant to say that we have in
mind a business house in Columbia, the
proprietors of which have not only
gained that enviable claim by their past
efforts to please the public, but are de
termined to maintain it. We allude to
Messrs. Kingsland & Heath. the popu
lar China, Crockery and Fancy Goods
dealers. By this course they have been
able to "hold the fort," in spite of ad
verse times, and the pressure of cir
cumstances. They keep a splendid
var1ety of goods and sell at reasonable
prices There is no article of utility or
of ornament but can be found in this
store. We recommend them to house
keepers especially.
NO EXCUSE FOR BEING SICK.
No person can use BOSCHEE'S GER
MAN SYRUP without getting immediate
relief and cure. We have the first case
of Coughs,. Colds or Consumption, or
any disease of the Throat aind Lungs,
yet to bear from that has not been cured.
We have distributed every year, for
three years, over 250,000 Sample Bottles
by Druggists in all parts of the United
States. No other Manufacturer of Medi
cines ever gave their preparations such
a test as this. Go to your Druggist,
Dr. Win. E. Pelham, and get a bottle
for 75 cents and try it-T wo doses wvill
relieve you: Sample Bottles 10 cents
each. Jan 10, 2-3m.eow.
A CHEAP COMBINATION.-In con-*
nection with the HERALD (which every
man in the County should have) wve are
prepared to furnish to all new subscri

cellent Agricultural Journals at reduced
rates, viz: The HERA LD and Southern
Cultivator for one year, $4.25, and the
HERALD and American Agriculturist,
splendidly illustrated, $3.50. This lib
eral offer will enable fairmers to
secure a first class agricultural pa
per and the HERALD at reduced prices,
neither one of which they should for a
moment do without. The Cultivator
alone is worth $2.10, and the American'
Agriculturist $1.60, and only at the
regular rates can either be furnished
separately.______
ADVEIRISE.-Advertise and let the
people of the County see that Newberry
is a live town, and that -her merchants
p have goods to sell and mean to sell
them. If you cannot afford to contract
for a hundred dollar advertisement as
in the good old days, send in a fifty
cent one. No matter how small the
price or the notice, send it in and show
that there is life in the town. Make a
run on something, if it's only dried cod
fish or dried apples, and draw custom.

sold.

pleasure to the gentlemen of the town.

crowd of men in town Monday we saw
only one who appeared to be under the
influence of liquor, and we are nbt cer
tain that he was.

Which, taken at the flood, leads to fortune.'
An opportunity is now offered tc

here.
A couple of uncommonly large sized
eggs were laid on the editorial table
last Monday by Mr. Michael Werts.
They measured 6 1-2x8. Mr. M. in
formed us that his hens are the Brahma
stock and give him such eggs regularly.
SALE-DAY.-The Sheriff sold twc
tracts of land Monday. Mrs. Nancy
Wicker bought the storehouse and lot
on Baltimore Corner for $3,550. The
"Garlington Place," 700 acres, was
bought by Mr. Pat Coleman, of Edge
field, for $3,000.
STEALING AGAIN.-Sunday night par
ties broke into the Newberry Steam
Mill, Capt. J. P. Aull's, and carried ofl
two hundred pounds of flour and two
sacks of corn. The thieves got into the
mill by drilling through the brick work,
eighteen inches thick.
To FAIUIERS.-Messrs. A. J. Mc
Caughrin & Co., make important an
nouncements this week. They are pre
pared to furnish farmers with such a
variety of well known and approved
fertilizers and chemicals as cannot fail
to accommodate all wants. See theii
cards.
NEw Music.-Mr. A. Koepper, of
Columbia, the author of a very appro
priate and beautiful piece of music, en
titled "Carolina's Choice," will accepi

be obtained of the author, or from Mr.
R. L. Bryan, bookseller, Columbia.

Dr. Bruce is prepared to take instan
taneous pictures of children, and we
advise mothers to take advantage oi
the opportunity at once. The difficulty
heretofore existing of getting a good
picture of a restless child is overcomel
by Dr. B., as he takes them on th(
wing, just as they are, and before t
change comes over the spirit of then
dreams.

Invitation, J. B. Wingard, J. E. Berley

Subject of Debate: Do great crises pro
duce great men?
MYSTERIES OF FREIGHT.-It seemi
reasonable that the charges on freighi
should be in proportion to distance; but
they are not, in one case at least. Foi
instance, the freight on groceries and
dry goods from Charleston to Green
ville is less than from Charleston tc
Newberry. The freight on a car-load
of molasses from Charleston to Green
ville is $44; from Charleston to New
berry, S80; on a hundred pound of ties
to Greenville, 40 cents; to Newberry.
50 cents. The distance tb Newberry is
98 miles shorter than to Greenville.
We see here the effect of competition.
Newberry has only one rail road.
"That's what's the matter with Han
nah."
DELAYS ARE DANGEROUS.-DO nol
put off buying your fertilizer until the
last moment, but send in your orders al
once. Messrs. WILcox, GIBBS & Co,
have only a limited supply of their cele
brated WIL.cox, G1BBS & Co.'s MANIrU.
LATED Gu.ANo, and if you delay yomn
order you may fail in having it filled
besides transportation may be obstruct
ed; and in waiting for your guano
your farming operationS will be retard
ed. Recollect "time is money," so cal
on their agent and obtain your suppl3
before it is too late. Their terms are
very liberal; the guano being deliverei
at interior depots, and the option giver
of paying in Cotton on the basis of fif
teen cents for middling, delivered nexl
fl at planters' nearest depot. it.
THE LATEST NEW MUSIC.
Do you want the very cho icest New Musi
of the day? Every piece both good an
immensely popular. Then send for any o
the following:

As charity covereth a multitude of
sins, so too does punctuality; the want
of it entails no end of trouble and con
fusion. When an engagement is made
it should be sacredly kept.
There are several vacant stores in
the town of Newberry waiting for en
terprising men to occupy them. We
would like to see thd brick store for
merly occupied by R. F. Phifer once
more opened and filled with goods.
Many owners of lots in Rosemont
Cemetery are now setting out shrub
bery and evergreens. Unfortunately
the lock and chain have been stolen
from off the gate, and hogs and cows
find no difficulty in entering.
Again have we to apologize for short
comings-the uproar down stairs on
Monday threw us completely out of
balance and knocked some of our best
ideas into a thousand picces. We will
try and gather some of the pieces for
next week's items.
As the planting season is near at
hand we hope the farmers of this coun
ty will try the benefit of a good, large
corn crop. Put in a large area, that
when gathering time comes barns may
be filled. Raising cotton to buy corn
keeps the farmer's -nose to the grind
stone.
One of our millionaire subscribers
complains that the HERALD has so es
tablished his reputation that he has no
rest day or night. Applications crowd
him from every quarter of the compass.
Uneasy rests the head which wears the
crown-and so with the man whose
money bags are full.
The sale and purchase of two hun
dred and twelve bags of cotton in New
berry ten days ago has made quite an
impression on the outside world. The
surprise was that one could raise so
much. This is not surprising, for that
farmer is one who pulls off his coat and
rolls up his sleeves. He knows how to
work.
A singular sound in Chapman &
Crawford's store excited our curiosity
on Wednesday. Following it up it was
found to proceed from the throat of
Walt Young, colored, from Laurens.
He had haggled for a half hour on the
price of a sack of flour, and when twen
'ty-five of the price was knocked off he
went off into a cackle which sounded
like the Great Eastern's Steam Piano
in a four-flat key.

Breathing Miasma Without In
jury.
There is no exaggeration in the statement
tha t thousands of persor-s residing from one
year's end to another in fever and agne re
gions o'n this Continent and elsewhere,breathe
air more or less impregnated with miasma,
without incurring the disease, simply and
only because they are in the habit oi' using
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as a preventive,
It has frequently happened, and the fact has
been amply attested by the parties them
selves, that persons surrounded on alt sides
)y neighibo:'s suffering the tort.ures of this
shivering and buraing pla.gue, have enjoyed
absolute immunityv fiom it, thanks to the
protection afforded by the Bitters. Nor is
that standard anti-febrile ,cordial less effica
cious in remedying than in prevent'ng chills
and fever, bilious remnittents, and disorders of
a kndred tyne. Taken between the parox
ysms, it speedily mitigates their violeuce,and
eventually prevents their recurrence. These
facts, convincingly established by evidence,
appeal with peculiar force to travelers and
sojourners in malarious districts. 10-4t
S2NGULAR FACT !
Is it not strange that people run off after
strange things, when they could do better at
home? Nearly every man, woman and child
in the country knows Ayer's, Jayne's,
Wright's, Radway's or Tutt's Pills, and very
few know Dr. Jas. L. Gilder's Liver Pills;
and yet, we venture the assertion, that any
one buying and using a single box of Dr.
Gilder's Pills, will never buy one of another
manufacture. Dr. S. F. Fant sells them.
26-t.
Dr. S. F. Fant is giving away a handsome
book entitled "Pearls for the People." con
taining much valuable information and
many interesting articles. It also contains a
history of the discovery of the "Hepatine,"
for diseases of the liver, dyspepsia, consti
pation and indigestion, &c., and gives posi
tive assurance that when the Hepatine is
used it effects a permanent and lasting cure
of these diseases, which prevail to such an
alarming extent in our country. Take the
Hepatine for alt diseases of the liver.

BEER.
The Commissioner of Agriculture, in his
report for the year 1875, speaks as follows:
"There can be no doubt of the general .
adulteration of all malt liquors. In Englan d sil
and other countries, where heavy penalties isti
are imposed, and an increasing vigilance ert
practiced to detect and punish such frauds,
by a system of inspection of all malt liquors all
manufactured before exposed to sale, the of
practice is very common. 'How much more
in this country, where there are no laws onap
the subject, and no officer to carefully ana- a
lyze the products of the brewery? Some S.
years ago, Professor Mapes, of New York, aft
analyzed the beer from a dozen different .Lth<
breweries, and all were found adulterated ha
with noxious substances. It is said that the no
sale of drugs to brewers is a profitable part thi
of the trade. This is perfectly infamon.s. ,
Cocculus indicus, (fish-berry,) nux vomica, 1
(dog-button, from which strychnine is ob- .
tained,) are some of the delectable substances -
found in beer! These are potent poisons, -
and the brewer found using them should be
drowned at once in one of his own vats.
The British Parliament passed a law to pre
vent this nefarious business. The following ful
is an extract: 'No druggist, vender of or co
dealer in drugs, or chemist, or any other a
person, shall sell or deliver to any licensed
brewer, dealer in or retailer of beer, knowingti
them to be such, or shall sell or deliver to
any person on account of,or in trust for, any N
such brewer, dealer or retailer, any liquor .
called by the name of or sold for coloring, -
from whatever material the same may be
made; or any material or preparation other
than unground brown malt, for the darken
ing the color of worts beer, or any molasses, be
vitriol, honey, quassia, coccolas indicus, ha
grains of paradise, Guinea pepper, or opmum,
or any extract or preparation of molasses, or
any article or preparation to be used in worts
beer for or as a substitute for malt or bops;
and if any druggist shall offend in any of these
particulars, such preparation, &c., shall be M
forfeited, and may be seized by any officer of at
excise, and the person so offending shall for- al<
feit five hundred pounds.' p
"Under this law, very many druggists and p
brewers were brought to grief, and yet the
practice continues. Unless the American
public are ready to admit the immaculate
purity and innocence of American brewers, -
they must be content, while drinking their
beer, to cherish the belief that they are at the
same time guzzling some narcotic poison or
damaging medicine. In view of the upre- wg
cedented growth of the barley crop; of the f
great increase of the number of malsters and de
brewers; of the vast unknown quantities of
beer that are drunk in every city and almost th
every town on the continent, it is the dictate fit
of sound wisdom that the attention of leg is- w~
lators should be called to the subject of the
adulteration of our malt liquors, and severe
penalties should be inflicted as a preventive."
