one day last week, and was buried at BethShiloh church. Mr. L. R. Williams, of this place, started on a trip to Texas, ou the 3rd instant. Mr. i Williams will first visit his brother?Mr. j James Williams?who lives in Wise county, j Northern Texas. Mr. Williams hasn't seen his brother since they bid eacli other farewell in October, 1859. At that time Mr. L. R. Williams was 16 years old, and his brother James 18. . After spending some time, with his brother, Mr. Williams will visit other relatives in different sections of the 1 State. He will also keep his critic's eye open in ordel- to "view the landscape o'erf" j and when he returns, he will doubtless be. able to institute a just comparison with re-! card to the arrow inc crons. fruits, climate,!

A Big Crop of Corn?Fine Yield of Irish Potatoes? Other Matters. Correspondence of the Yorkvillc Enquirer. Gould, August 7.?Good seasonable rains have fallen in this neighborhood during the past week. Mention was made some time ago in this correspondence about the corn crop in this' neighborhood. That crop is now about made, and should there be no disaster or overflow, the present will be the best crop raised on Bullock's creek iu a number of years. Upland corn is also very fine. Fodder pulling will commence in about two weeks. Several years ago some of the Alliances resolved that they would ship their corn from the West in cotton sacks. The present plan of raising corn at home, however, is better. Cotton is not very large, but is unusually well fruited. The sorghum crop is first class, and most of it will be ready to make into molasses by the loth of this mouth. A negro on Mr. A. W. Osborne's place, last spring, planted a half bushel of Irish potatoes. From the time they were big enough for the table until they were ready to dig, he used about two bushels. He dug twelve btfshels, and altogether got fourteen bushels from the half bushel of seed originally planted. Work on the factory at Lockhart Shoals has been cut down to half time. The school at Bullock's C'reek was opened today with Miss Estelle Palmer as teacher. Mr. Edward Ratchford, of Union county, is visiting his sister, Mrs. E. M. Bankhead. h. ECHOES FROM SILVER. ! What the People lu Different Parts of the Conn- I try are Saying and Doing About Fiiiimre. ? A mass meeting of business men was I held in Birmingham, Ala., one day last week, j for the purpose of adopting resolutions look-; ing to the unconditional repeal of the Sher-1 mau law. The hall was filled to overflowing, j After several speeches pro and con, Con- j gressman Bankhead, of the Sixth district, I made a hot speech in favor of free silver, and j declared that the enemies of the white metal would have a hard time repealing the Sherman law until something better went along with it. He advocated an income tax, declared for the repeal of the 10 per cent, tax on State banks of issue, and captured the meeting by an overwhelming majority. As a result, a resolution was adopted expressing confidence in the wisdom and ability of Alabama's representatives to meet the issue. ? Inquiry at the treasury department elicits the information that the government has on hand about 130,000,000 ounces of fine silver, costing $118,000,000. The coining value of the bullion on hand is about 167,000,000. If this were coined the government would ! realize a profit of about $48,000,000, against j which silver certificates could be issued. It j would take, however, it is stated, with the j present coinage capacity of the United States mints, about five years to convert this bullion j into silver dollars. Silver certificates, by law, could only be issued on profits as coined. cikfTTti nuxti iv'i vL'U'c I outin v.tnviii.vi .iliiu. Change <>f Officers. ? The Chester Gingham mills underwent a change of management last Thursday. Mr. S. M. Jones was elected president aud treasurer, vice Mr. John Donovant. president, and Mr. S. B. Lathan treasurer, retired. A Rich Find. ? W. H. Lyles reports in Columbia, a j story to the effect that recently a poor farmer of Spartanburg county, living near Landrum, on the Spartanburg and Asheville rail- j road, plowed up about $500 worth of gold ! coins, some of which bore the date of 1719.1 The coins are Spanish, English and German, j Murdered from Ambush. ? Mr. L. T. DesChamps, of Silver, Clar-j endon county, was waylaid and murdered by an unknown assassin, near his home, one ! day last week. The murderer posted him-1 self in a clump of thick undergrowth on the j side of the road, and killed his victim with a shotgun loaded with buckshot. Mr. Des-1 Champs was a prominent and prosperousj farmer and merchant. Trying to Reverne the Supreme Court. ? Messrs. Nettles & Nettles appeared be- j fore Associate Justice Pope last Monday for the purpose of convincing him that he was superceding the recent injunctiou of Judge Hudson in the Darlington dispensary case, i The interests of the State were represented by Assistant Attorney General Buchanan , aud Colonel R. W. Boyd, of Darlington. Justice Pope took the case under advisement after asking that all authorities be handed to him as soon as possible. Killed for Informing. ? John J. Henson, a white man, went to Greenville last Friday and testified before the United States commissioner in a revenue case. He had been working with the deputy marshals against blockiders. He started for his home in the mountains, about twenty-five miles away, in the afternoon, and stayed over night with a friei*l, resuming his journey next morning. Late Saturday evening, he was found dead in a lonely sideroad, within a mile of his own home. His i neck was broken, and it is believed that he was killed for informing. The Flrnt Report of the Dispensary. Governor Tillman, on last Monday, gave : the newspapermen reason to expect that the report of the first month's business of the dispensary will be given to the press. He; said that the report is now being prepared and that it is being made out on a more detailed-scale than he thought was requisite.. The report will give a full account of the j operations of the establishment, where the I goods were purchased, how much has been i sold, the expenses of the dispensary, and the returns up to the closing of the report. Commissioner Traxler hopes to have it ready for the State board of control by today or tomorrow. Liquor Freight Rates. ? The case of the Richmond and Danville Railroad company against the State railroad commissioners, was argued before Judge Simonton at Greenville last Monday. The railroad claims that the new schedule, which requires that liquors in glass bottles be' hauled at the same rate as those in bulk, was made for the special benefit of the State : dispensary, and is unjust for the reason that glass involves more risk and trouble in handling. Argument for the railroad was j made by Hugh L. Bond, Jr., and for the! State by Attorney General D. A. Townsend. Judge Simonton will probably render hisde-' vision within a week or two. \ Whisky How in Sumter. ? The place of 1). Morris, an ex-saloon keeper of Sumter, was raided by constables last Thursday, and Morris was arrested on a warrant sworn out by K. M. l'itts. a member! of the county board of control, charging ! him with selling lhpior without a license. I The constables secured a large quanity oft liquors, most of which was in sealed packages, J and turned it over to the sheriff. The inci-; dent was attended with a great deal of excitement, and a big crowd of people collected around the constables, guying them unmercifully. One of the constables named llolloway was pelted with rotten eggs by small boys. IN-lttll <>f (iOIUTHl (iIIIIMU'W. ? (ieneral Ambrosia Jose Gonzales, fath- J er of the Gonzales brothers of Columbia, died in New York on Monday of last week aged j 75 years. General Gonzales was a native of' Cuba and his life was a stormy one. lie; spent years in trying to free Cuba from the! * v ; i ? i~..a c. l 4.. n.... yoKe 01 aim ui iusi, lurvuu iu in-c from his native land, settled in South Carolina and married Miss Harriet ltutled^e, | youngest daughter of Captain Win. Elliott, He was one of the first to volunteer his services to the Stateat the outbreak of the war, and distinguished himself for courage and good soldiership. In referring to him about ten years ago, Jeff Davis said that he was "A soldier under two Hags, but one cause : tlmt nf rommunitv independence."' Iii Trouble With I'm-le Sum.. ? C. P. Barrett, a Spartanburg lawyei who was some time ago repudiated by the Republicans as a ''blackleg and unfit associate for decent men," is in jail in Spartanburg on the charge of swindling people through the mails. His plan, it is alleged, has been to secure the appointment of fourthclass postmasters who would allow themselves to be used as tools. The postmaster would order different kinds of goods from Northern firms and give Barrett as a reference. Upon receipt of the goods on credit, they would be disposed of at whatever price they would bring and Barrett and the postmaster would divide. The preliminary hearing is now going on at Spartanburg, and the indications are that the accused will fare badly. His bail has been fixed at $5,000, but as yet he has been unable to find a bondsman. Arming the Constables. ? Governor Tillman is determined that the dispensary constables shall not bo imposed upon, and has made a requisition on the adjutant and inspector general for a number of heavy Colt's revolvers of 44 calibre, and of the same pattern as is used in the United States army. These revolvers were lying in the executive office last Friday, and when the newspaper reporters inquired what they were for, the governor replied: "For the constables. A set of riotous, belligerent whisky dealers and their sympathizers will not be allowed to run roughshod over the coustables. The law will be enforced if it is necessary to kill half a dozen or 100 people. I will not allow officers of the State to be spit on and rotten-egged by barkeepers and their tools.*' From this it would seem that those who are disposed to guy the constables had better look out. While they really have 110 authority to shoot anybody, if they happen to do so, they are not likely to be punished. Of course they can be tried and convicted, but the governor, who would be responsible, has the authority, and would no doubt issue a pardon." In Extra Session Assembled.?The Fifty-third congress convened in extraordinary session at a quarter past 12 o'clock last Monday. Upon the call of the roll, 33G members answered to their names, and the clerk announced that more than a quorum was present. The first business to come up was the election of a speaker. The Democrats nominated Chas. F. Crisp, the Republicans nominated Thomas B. Reed, and the Populists nominated Jerry Simpson. The vote resulted, Crisp, 214 ; Reed. 122 : and Simpson 7. Crisp was declared elected and took the oath of office at once. Other officials of the house were elected according to nominations made in the Democratic caucus. The senate was duly organized without special incident, and adjourned at 12.30 o'clock to meet again yesterday. It is understood that the president's message was to have been read yesterday. The message is short, but up to our time of going to press, we have no authentic information as to its contents. It is said, however, that the president recommends the unconditional repeal of the Sherman silver law. He is in favor of silver on a parity with gold, and stands 011 the platform of 1S92, but says that platform cannot be carried out for the reason that it fixed a parity which cannot be maintained. It is our intention to publish the message of the president in full next week. Shell Will Not he a Candidate.? Congressman Shell informs the Columbia State that he will- not be a candidate for governor next year. \\ nen ms term 01 01fice expires, he intends to retire to his farm. He thinks that his successor in congress will be General Farley, who is already announced as a candidate. If the senatorial election was in the hands of the present legislature, he says General Butler would have no chance, but there is no telling what might happen in two years, and Butler may be returned. The next governor of South Carolina says Mr. Shell, is likely to be either W. I). Evans or J. E. Tindal. ? The Democratic members of congress met in caucus in the house of representatives last Saturday and nominated officers as follows: For speaker, Charles F. Crisp, of Georgia; lor sergeant-at-arms, Herman W. Snow, of Illinois; for doorkeeper, A. B. Hurt, of Tennesee; for postmaster, Lycurgus Dalton, of Indiana; for chaplain. Rev. S. W.

From One "Who Know The signature at tlie bottom ol* a testimonial has a great deal to do with determining its value to the person or linn in commendation ol whose goods or products it is given. Of course we heartily appreciate words of approval from the retail trade, as we thoroughly realize that our successor failure dependant last on the favor with which our vehicles arc received by it. but all will readily admit that one who fur years has been engaged in the same line ?>f business as ourselves, and has made it a study, is better qualified to speak as to the intrinsic value of a vehicle than one who has not had the advantage of the same kind of training.

They had the benefit of the most skilli fill medical treatment and attention, with the j most approved diet, change of air, and mineral water; and with all they grew worse, and j finally became so emaciated and weak from I want of nourishment, that they were unable to j sit up and had to be nursed all the time. Their i digestive organs seemed paralyzed so to speak, and the bowels uncontrollable. At this stage of J their case we began the use of your Campbell's 'j Anti-Ferment, giving l.*> drops after cachadminI istration of nourishment. The good ctl'cct seemed perceptible from the first dose. The | food was digested, the bowels controlled, and a ! perfect recovery resulted from the continued j use of the medicine.

The Pound of Cure. | Campbell's Cough Cure is the ounce of prevention that is worth more than the pound of | cure that we read of in the adage. A single dose , will prevent an attack of croup.

It prevents the spasm of whooping in whooping cough, and does away with the necessity of the little sutVcrer grabbing a bed post or a sap'plitig to keep afoot. It cures in a few moments the horrid gasping for breath that is experienced by persons who sutler from asthma. In short, it is a household remedy indispensable after it has been tried. John C.

You May Xot Realize It, Hut there is not a shadow of doubt of tiie fact that it is the duty of every man to make the best provision in his power for the I'ROTKCTION of those dependent on him in ease he should be taken away by death, and no plan has yet been devised that equals life insurance. In order to get men to buy their insurance, some high-priced, level premium companies of late years have been selling insurance on the strength of a promise to pay the insured a sum of money during his lifetime, provided he paid the company a stipulated sum annually for a certain number of years, or a certain sum to his family in case of death. The proposition, as made by the smooth tongued solicitor, CA.nwlu All T? io'lit nwumio mi I flint tested by the simplest rules of arithmetic. [Did you over have an agent for a level premium company ask you to "ligger out" how much YOU would make by carrying a policy in his company for a specified number of years ? Did you ? Now honest.] The hope of getting something out of an insurance company himself, often misleads the ordinarily prudent man. Right here we desire to say that nine times out of ten that if the insured does not die in less than five years from the time one of these "pay-youback-during-your-life-timo-policies" is written, every dollar is lost except the pittance givon him as "paid up" insurance, as Official Statistics Prove That nine men out of ten who buy this high priced insurance drop it in from three to eight years because they are brought to realize that the burden is too great to carry. The companies know that their prices are double what they should be, but they argue that as long as they can catch "suckers" there is no necessity for a reduction. You know their expenses are heavy, and, therefore, large premiums must be collected from the policyholders to meet them. Here are a few salaries paid by one of the leading old line companies: President, $100,000 a year; two vice presidents, 8**0,000 each, per annum ; and its treasurer, secretary, actuary, comptroller and auditor each receive 850,000 per annum, or 8470,000 for the ollicers named, without taking into account the princely sums paid minor ollicers, agents, etc. The reader may not feel any interest in this matter, but we desire right here to impress one weighty truth, and that is that ever}- farthing that is annually wasted by this and other like comnanies. comes out of the policyholders, and we ask, is it good husiness'sense to be insured in a concern so extravagant with the peoples' money? Now we insist That No Sensible Man, he he young or old, will buy any other kind ol'insurance than that which agrees to pay a stipulated amount in cash ^o beneficiaries named in policy at death of insured, whether the policy has been in force one day or fifty years. Insurance of this kind should be" cheap. It should not cost a man forty-five years old over 918 per 91,000 insurance. Statistics carefully gathered for the past fifty years prove that 918 will give iron clad protection, and leave a liberal sum over each year. The level premium stock company clinrpoH $37.07 per $1,000 for the uj?c named above, or more than twice as much as experience proves is necessary. Now, dear reader, we desire to say that it appears to us that Common Business Sense should cause every man who has dependents, to insure his life for their protection, and he should make it a point to get iron clad protection at the lowest cost consistent with absolute safety, and to all who want this kind of insurance, we will say that we represent the STRONGEST natural premium insurance company in the world; that it has a larger surplus as compared to liabilities than any company of any kind, and that wo can furnish you with insurance at about half the price charged by old line companies, and of a quality that is not surpassed in the world. You are at liberty to decide this matter in your own way, but we are sure that if you will investigate The Mutual Reserve FUND LIFE ASSOCIATION'S policies, _ terms, standing, etc., you will be sure to insure in it.
