AIKEN, 8. C., DEC. 19. 1890. I lu-y (<ivu the Mltlbbolcih Enter In.* ami James Bacon, of the E‘l{;efiehl Chronich, thus speaks of the King Caucus who lias heen enthroned at Columhia since ti e assembling of our Legislature: “King Caucus—insolent, haughty Iron-hand, and somewhat blind—was enthroned in the first hour. Eighty- fi»*e members of the lower House and twenty-six Senators promptly gave the shibboleth, "I am a Tillman man, ” and^entered into the holy of holies. The'goats stand in outer dark ness. The Day of Judgement has come—stern, bitter judgement. Our human judges evince no mercy—no halt in the piti'ess casting out of sin ners into the darkness where there is weeping, wailing and gnashing ot teeth. The ruthless ferocity of the Reform Party is terrible; and vet it is amusing. They seem to be deeply imbued with a conciousuess that their lease is not for long, and that they must hasten to work it for all it is vorth.” There’s the Dinner Bell. What a clattering and a chattering as the children answer the dinner bell and rusti into the dining room. Oh; the gratification a good appetite af fords as our noon day’s meal is set before us. But this vacant chair, what does it mean! “Oh, that is Uncle Charlie’s seat. Guess he don’t feel like eating, he’s got dyspepsia, you know.” Dyspepsia! horrors! De liver us from dyspepsia. What’s the use of being plagued with such an ail ment anyway? What’s the use of having a stomach so Irritated and sore that even one bite ef food gives it distress? Why not heal the sore ness and allay the irritation and strengthen its muscular processes, by using Botanic Blood Balm. Will it cure? It certainly will. Many, many a former dyspeptic owes his enjoy ment of life to B B B Give it a trial. S. J. Chandler, Richmond, Va. writes; “No one can aftord to be without B B B who wishes an appe tite. I could scarcely eat a single biscuit for breakfast, but since taking B B B I can clean the whole table, so to speak.” The title of affairs in Japan is illus trated by the fact that, notwithstand ing a reaction against all things for eign, eleven of the 800 men elected to the lower house of the new parlia ment are Protestant Christians, while several others nearly secured an elec tion. How 1 Was Cured of So-Called Can cer, LUT.ATON, Ga. Dear Sir—This is to certify that I w T as a sufferer with a place on my un der lip for fourteen years, and was un der treatment of different physicians, but they done me no good. I had lost hope of being cure<l by medical treat ment. I then went to a doctor living in Florida, who treated them by art. After going to him it got well ap parently, for au bile, but returned as had as ever. I then concluded to try P P P (Prickly Ash. Poke Root and Potassium), and after taking five bot tles (pint size) was cured. I also find it a good medicine to give a good ap petite, and to give proper digestion. ~ — YolU'S. Thn.jrtrufv.

The December returns to the de partment of agriculture of t!:e value of cotton on plantations are nearly the same as last year, tire average be ing quite as high as the aveiage farm value of tlm previous crop, or 8.6 cents. As the average export price slightly exceed 10 cents, this makes the cost of shipment by wagon and railroad or steamer, drayage, eommis- ion, compression and o her expenses nearly one and a half cents per pound. _ _ DIPHTHERIA CURED. We have numerous testimonials that the free use of Feriioiiue Balsam in cases of this dreadful malady lias effected cures. Owing to antiseptic properties, its free use in the bedroom is an absolute preventative against contagion, or the introduction of this terrible affliction. Tins excellent remedy, Fernoiine Balsam, con be had at all druggists. “Go snowshoeing?” Yes. m3’ dear niudatne, why not?—provided the heavens be propitious ami furnish the snow, and there is every prospect of plenty this winter. Snowshoeing is as ea?y as sliding down hill,—after you know how, and you will know how, all about it, after reading the breezy article on “Snowshoeing” in Deinorest’s Family Magazine for Jan uary. Or if your tastes are artistic rather than atlilctic, you will he de lighted with the excellent paper ou “Modeling for Sculp! ore;” ami if you have never modeled iu clay, the sug gestions for amateurs and beginners will be of great assistance. “Sage Maidens of Cornell University” Is an- notlier handsomely illustrated article; the illustrated Chinese story is partic ularly interesting; the other stories are all good; the “Sanitarian” has seasonable articles about the “Effects of Cold,” and how to take sitz, foot, and other baths, for remedial pur poses; “Chat” and “Tne World’s Pro gress” are especially attractive; and all the other departments are brimful of good tilings. Indeed, for beauty, variety, and completeness, Deinorest’s Family Magazine must be awarded the palm of superiority as the Family Magazine, and should be in every household. Published by W. Jen nings Demorest, 15 East 14th Street, New York. L. G. STRICKLAND. **>-WINE OF CARDUI. a Tonic for Women. The remark that “Blood Is thicker then water” lias been credited to Commodore Tattnall. When the Brit- isli attacked the Chinese junks at Peitro, Capt. Josiah Tattali went to the assistance of the English admiral, and in explaining his conduct used the expression. The old proverb, how ever, is to he found in Rob Roy. McELREE’S WINE OF CARDUI for Weak Nerves. RHEUMATISM CURED. About two years since, while suffer- inu from a periodical attack of inflam matory rheumatism, my attention was called to Fernoiine Balsam, I tried it, and am gratified to say that since its use I have not only been re lieved but absolutely cured.
