Each one of them stoutly maintained that Wm. Blake, Sr., who was lynched for participation in the murder after he had been sentenced to the penitentiary for life, had nothing whatever to do with it. Charles Loyd, the Negro who was convicted at the October term of the court in Chester for the murder of a young white roan named Welsh, at the Haile gold mine, in Laucaster eouu'y, on the 24th of last August, was hunged at 12 o'clock. He died from strangulation in about 20 minutes. .The Abbeville victim was Tom Peterson, who murdered Coustable Mosely, at Greenwood. Dlverttlfled Farming. Mr. R. S. Graut, of Clyde, Chesterfield couuty, made the following interesting statement to a correspondent of ^ the Columbia State on the 4th instant: "I planted 30 acres in cotton and made 23 bales, manure used was 20 bushels of cotton seed per acre. I planted 30 acres in corn and made 500 bushels; mauure used was' 10 bushels cotton seed per acre. I planted 10 acres in tobacco, and made 8,000 pouuds; ma nure used was 875 pounds fertilizer per acre. I sowed 15 acres iu oats and made 225 bushels, and sowed the same land in peas and gathered 20,000 pounds of hay. I plauted three-fourths of au acre in potatoes and made 200 bushels. I planted one acre in cane and made 147 gallons of sorghum. I planted a half acre in rice and made 12 bushels. I also killed a hog toda> that weighed 706 pounds gross and 632 net. I have 14 more. The stock is Berkshire aud Essex crossed." Murder Moat Foul. The Columbia State of Friday publishes the details of a most horrible murder that was committed nearBroxtou's bridge, in Collelou couuty, on Mouday of last week. The victims were all Negroes?u man uamed Isham Kearse, Hannah Walker, his mother, and Rosa Kearse, bis wife. The man was accused of haviug stolen a Bible and some pulpit furniture out of u church sometime ago. He was taken in hand by I)r. W. Ackerman, Frank Jenny, VVyman Kearse, aud Frank Bryant?all white?and among the must prominent citizeus of the neighborhood. They tried to get the Negro to confess to .having stolen the ^ things from the church. He stoutly maiutained his inuoceuce. They then arrested the two women. Isham aud the women were tied to buggies, with ropes around their necks, aud led and dragged a distance of several miles. The man was theu given 150 lasbes with new buggy traces. He fell to the ground under the terrible and brutal whipping, and was unable to a get up. The women were also outrageously beaten. The older woman was allowed to get away. She ran into the woods, fell in a shallow puddle of water and was drowned. The younger woman, who had a five month's old baby, ran in another direction and made her escape ; but is in a critical condition. The men threw the Negro man's old cout over his body, made a fire near by and left. The Negro ?nan aud his mother were found dead on Wednesday. The only excuse offered for the horrible crime is that the men were drunk. An inquest has been held and the men are charged with murder. At last accounts none of them had been arrested.

Deafhess Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition or tne mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. Chkxky <fc Co., Toledo, Ohio.

Keep your lips closed so as to prevent the cold wind from entering and chilling the organs of respiration, thereby producing colds, sore throat, bronchitis and other serious throat troubles. Not 1 in 1,000 Will pay any attention to the above. We will do you the kindness, therefore, to tell you how to cure a cold, cough, etc., by neglecting to follow our advice as above. 1st. When you feel that you are taking a cold, takel5 to 8 grains of quinine in a teaspoonful and a half of Campbell's Cough Cure. Take the dose at any time you may feel the cold coming, preferably at bedtime. After the first dose repeat the dose three times a day, and at bedtime reduce the dose of quinine to three grains and the cough cure to one teaspoonful. Keep warm and indoors and your cold will be well in one or two days, and you may stave off a a case of pneumonia. Look Upon the Witness. Mr. A. J. Sturgis deposes and says, that he moved into this section of the county, with a case of chills of long standing, that the remedies he had tried failed to cure. Last spring he got so weak that he could scarcely follow his plow. He purchased a box of Kuykendul's Chill Pills and took them as directed and he has never had a chill since and he is now quite well and strong. Do you want any stronger testimony than this ? Send 65 cents in stamps by mail, or any other way and we will send you a box of these wonderful pills. Warranted to cure or money paid back. Do You Want a Dog? See our Spotted Setter. Henry Ward Beechcr Said if cleanliness was next to godliness, soap was a means of grace. Bretheren, let us all buy soap. Kuykendal has the best. He has a showcase full, sweeter than a sweetheart, sweeter than a white snnirrel in a Dink candy cage, sweeter than the gardens of Gul in their bloom. A Sunday Night Incident. A faithful old horse lay stretched 011 the russ, All worn seemed the sands in his glass, He'll never draw more in carriage or bus, Alas, he's gone to grass. [ Not so, however. We sent up a bottle of Anti-Ferment with directions how to give it and he was well in less than an hour. Anti-Ferment is warranted to cure colic in horses if given by direction and the animal is not too near dead. Sage | And sausage, the former fresh and for sale t the latter too scarce.

If goods are constantly sold below cost, failure is bound to come. If prices are marked away up people will not come more than once and tracte is light. Too high or too low prices mean failure. Just where the turning point is, between too low and too high prices, is hard to determine. In marking our goods, we go low instead of high when we are in doubt where the turning point was. If you pay more for goods in our line than we charge, which some of you do, it is no fault of ours. If you are not getting a real good Chewing Tobacco for 35 cents a pound, you are paying more ' 1 - ? ?1 A- ?1 * U/v Knot than tne goocis are worm, we sen mo oo.-..
