WALHALLA, SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1879. VOLUAIB XIV.-NO. di). 45 Years Before the Public. THE GENUINE DR. C. Mc LAN E'S CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS, FOR THE CURE OF Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint, DYSI'lirr.IA AND StCK 1IBADACIIB. Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. I3AIN in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pres sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; thc patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes thc pain is felt under thc shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to thc top of thc shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appc- I tite and sickness; thc bowels in gen eral arc costive, sometimes alternative ? with lax; thc head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in thc back part. There is generally a considerable loss of mem ory, accompanied with a painful sen sation of having left undone some thing which ought lo have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. Thc patient complains of j weariness and debility; he is easily startled^ his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa tion of thc skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts ?Yt?i'y remedy. Several of the above .symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex isted, yet examination of thc body, after death, has shown thc LIVER to have been extensively deranged. AGUE AND FEVER. T)R. C. MCLANE'S LIVER PILLS, IN -CASKS OF AGUE AND FEVER, when ..taken with Quinine, arc productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after laking Quinine. Wc would advise all who fire afflicted with this disease lo give them a FAIR TRIAL. For all bilious derangements, and as a simple purgative, they arc unequaled. Jil , Vt Alt I', OF IMITATIONS. The genuine are never sugar coated.

So suc cessful havo thc loggers teen that tho lum ber dealers, who, during the psst winter Imo been wearing loi.g faces and predict ing o shortage, have brightened up and oro expecting an improved business. Compar atively little snow fell in tho pineries of Wisconsin, and it was thought thut, as a result, thc yield would not bo up to thc average; by means of iee roads and rail roads, the loggers have been cnublcd to bring in about ns large a crop ns usual. I Michigan there was an abundance of snow, and thc yield in all quarters is equal to, and in somo places exceeds, thut of former years. Tho amount of lumber cutis almost inconceivably largo. lt is estimated by well in formt d persons to bo about u3 follows: District. .Lumber, Feel. Flint Uiver. 91,000.000 Tittuhawasscc and tributaries 405,000,000 Jtillc Uiver 80,000.000 Ku,vk a wi in River 10,250,000 Hud Uiver 27,000,000 Cuff und Pigeon Hivers ?18,500,000 Swan creek and Hay shoro 27,000,000 AugrcM and shoro ' 80,750,000 Huron short*, including Au Sable, Thunder Jhiy and Cheboygun 485,250,000 West shore, including Mou istcc fl it, Muskegon, Pont* water, l'ero Marquette, White and Grand Iii vera and tributaries 1,150,400,220 Menominee Uiver 210,000,000 Cedur Hive* 13,000,000 Ford Uiver 20.000,000 Flat Hock Hivrv 0,000,000 Monnstiquo Uiver 22,000,000 Sturgeon Day, Big and Little Sturgeon 15,000,000 Point St. Ignace and Mack Uiver, near Mackinaw 17,000,000 Mississippi Itivcv and tribu taries 1,350,000,000 Wolf Uiver 85,000,000 Dig Suamico Uiver 5,000,000 Little Suamico 7,000,000 Pcnsaukco 0,000,000 Goon to 00,000,000 Pcshtigo 70,000,000 Total 4,834,210,220 It would bc interesting to know how long thc pine forests of these States will endure such enormous demonds upon them. Many lumbermen think thut tho supply ?3 so largo thut it is well nigh inexhaustible, and tl-M a century heneo there wilt scarcely bo a perceptible decrease, One gentleman hus stated that along thc Mcnominco Uiver alone, oven if os much is cut every year as last, tho supply will hold out, over eighty years. Ile, like many others, is deceived. All who think our forests to bc inexhausti ble have only to visit thc older ond inorc settlcd States which havo in no less thau half a century been nearly entirely de nuded of trees. Steps should bc taken in tho pino-prc duoing Statis to replant tho olenred terri tory with young trees, so that by tho timo tho original forests have entirely disap peared others will havo attained suflicicnt size to bc lit for uso. Tho Pross. Few people, porhops, oan imagino thc number of newspapers in tho United States, or cun begin to concoivo tho mighty influ ence of thc PrOSS. It has been unid that "tho per. is mightier than tho sword," and wo hiivo vory little doubt of tho truth of thc saying. livery day hundreds of thou sands of newspapers enter tho homes and business places of thc laud. In them is to bo found discussed nearly ovcry subject undo? tho ?un. Tho Press is a most potent agency os thc cnlightcncr of any pooplo, Tho poor man in his cottage, rends tho annie arguments ns tho rich man in his palace, and is influenced to tho same extent. Show us tho newspapers of a country and wo will tell what its pooplo oro. Tho vuluo of now3pnpors onnnot bo over esti mated not only for tho varied and extensive information they givo upon nlmost every subject, but for tho great influonoo they exert upon society. Tho tono of tito Press will effect the tone of society in exactly tho samo propottion na it is good or bad. Tho high tone of tho Press has done moro good to society than almost any other known human ogency. At home, around tho fire side, it brings tho family together in pleas ant intercourse, mid nil aro happier, wiser nnd better on account of thc newspaper. In a political way what a power for good is an honest, open, outspoken and indepen dent newspaper. Tho dishonest mun fears tho newspaper;;, for they will expose his vain trickery to tho public. Tho newspa pers arc tho ever faithful watchmen upon tho walls of n people's liberties, ready at till times to sound tho alarm upon tho approach of danger and to contend to thc death against tho encroachments of on enemy. No enemy lo justice or liberty can pass, un noticed, this watohful sentinel. lt isa noted fact, tho newspaper men work harder and moko more sacrifices for ihcir country than any other class of men on earth, und whilo this is thc case, they arc tho least appreciated and poorest paid. If our pcoplo could be made to appreciate newspapers (paid for) more generally, they would only bo thc better off. Thc poorest newspaper in thc land ia worth several times thc amount it charges for subscrip tion. Gen. Hagood and the Abbovillo Voto. Thc Abbovillo Presa and Banner and thc Barnwell Pcoplo have been amusing themselves with a little skirmish over tho suggestion of tho propriety of nominating (Jen. Ilugood for Governor next year. Wo would not bc guilty of intermeddling with thia tete-a-tete, but for tho fact that wc think thc position of our Abbovillo contem porary liable to bo misconstrued to thc injury, perhaps, of party discipline through out tho State, for tho Pres? und Banner says thc people pf Abbeville will not vote for Gen. Hagood for Governor, because he waa a member of thc State Hoard of Equal ization, which raised tho assessment of Ab beville County lust year. Boes our conten?, porary moan that thc people of Abbeville will not vote for Gen, Ilugood if bc is nom inated for Go vernor? If so, they uro a very diff?rent people from what wc believe them to bo. Indeed, if this is what our contemporary means, wo must expresa tho opinion that it is wrong, for wc do not be lieve that tho pcoplo of Abbeville would encourage anything like an independent movement on nccoutit of their personal likes or dislikes. If, on the other hand, it simply means that thc people of Abbeville will try to nominate some other man, that is what they have thc undoubted right to do; but unless they cnn find somo stronger reason to urgo against Gen. Ilugood ihuti his action in this mutter, they had aa well vote in silence, for thc unroaronablcncss of their opposition will stroogthon Ocn. Ha good with impartial votera. Wc do not mean by this lo indicate un advocacy of tho nomination of Gen, Hagood, for we believe that Gen. McGowan ia largely thc favorite of Anderson County; but wo do want to sec fair play, mid have an idea that it will bc thc best policy for all parties lu tho long i un. Gen. Ilugood should neither bc norn? mated nor defeated because of his idea of tho value of real estate in any particular county. Tho reasons which induco thc nomination of a Governor in South Caro lina should and will bo of a moro substan tial nature.-A ndcrson Intelligencer, Squandering tho State's Money on tho Columbia Canal. Now that tho Legislature ta ".bout to meet wo think tho pro*.*? Ul" live State might willi propriety discuss matters whioh are to come before thc body. Thc canal ut Columbia has COSt tile State thousands of dellars, and nt tho lust session SI 1,000 additional was appropriated to that great humbug. Hut aa good luck would have it, lhere was sonic flaw in tho appropriation und tho money has not been spent, and it ia not too late to save a depleted treasury from this draft. Much baa been said on thia subject and valuable limo hus been wasted on thia ques tion, and wc hopo lo sec tho Legislatura at its next session take such Steps as will for ever 6Cltle it. Tho cana) ia a local enter prise in which tho pcoplo of Abbeville County arc not interested to tho amount of u cent, and wc cannot sec why we should bo taxed hundreds of dollars to build up Co lumbia when our towns and farms arc lan guishing for tho want of money. It seems WOrso than folly to tux tho pcoplo ol* Long Cano to enrich tho pcoplo of thc Cougarce. Let tho Legislature promptly relievo tho Stato of thia extravagant nnd foolish appro priation. Wo aro sure that it is not tho wish of any of our pcoplo to ndd ono far thing to their own shoulders for tho canal. It would, in our opinion bo belter for tho State lo appropriate money to develop Ctosar's Head aa a health resort for thoso of her citizens who may livo in malarious dis tricts, Wc want to invest no money in tho Columbia canal, mid hope that our Repre sentatives will look after thc interest of their pcoplo in withdrawing this appropria tion. Let our exohnnges speak out on thia humbug.-'Abbeville Press and Banner.

One of thc drawbacks to thc prosperity of thc South is thc inattention of her peo ple to thc development of tho many littlo industries which give employment to idle lands, and add to tho comfort nnd wealth of communities. Thc devotion to cotton seems :o have absovbed all our enterprise and cap tai. Wo noticed iu a Tcnncssoo paper, not! ung ago, a statement that one merchant, from some littlo town in Tennessee had chipped moro than one thousand chickens to Atlanta in ono day; that his daily aver age of shipping was nearly one thousand to Southern markets, while bc also shipped uutty, large quantities (1,500 lbs.) of butter, and his shipment of eggs ran up to 1,200 dozen weekly. Tn the winter he had ?ship ped ns high as 5,000 dozen of eggs, nnd several thousand pounds of butter and dressed poultry a day. lie puja for chick ens, on un average, 9 cents; eggs. 5 couts; ind butter, from ll to 12' cents per pound. Dining the past .summer wo have Been thousands of chickens brought over tho mountains from North Carolina in wagons, cooped up nnd shipped for Southern mar kets from points on thc Air Lino Railroad* if cp?s, chickens and butter can be pro duced in North Carolina and Tennessee, and brought to Charleston nt n profit, wo do not soo why they could not be produced nearer home. Wo cort ?ii ii ly would have tho era ti fica ti uri of eating a moro wholesome article. These li Mio items, put together, swell to a large sum, and just that much goes out from our earnings to benefit, outsiders, lt is hi;j;h tune that wo were realizing tho fact that this is no lougor A plantation State. Tho colton scepter, and tho rice scepter have departed front ns. It costs moro to produce cither, than they will hiing in tho markets, und WO must begin to tum our attention to such industries us re quire small cipiti'. and little skill, to stop tho leaks which arc rapidly impoverishing us.
