Messrs. J. A. Daniels and P. A. Daniels .left on Monday afternoon, and Maj. F. C. v. Borstel on Tuesday afternoon, for the Cen? tennial and other foreign parts. Anderson has contributed a' full share this season to * the Centennial travel. Between six and seven hundred citizens of Anderson County were in the mounted procession at Abbeville on last Saturday. The ".Anderson Reformer" bore a conspicu? ous pert in the programme, and thundered forth its telling echoes in appropriate style. The twenty-eighth annual meeting of the Anderson County Bible, Society will be held at fhV Baptist Church on next Sabbath at 11 o'clock a. m. Rev. D. E. Frierson is to preach the annual sermon before the Society. All who contribute anything to the Society are'members'. A full attendance is desired. Attention' is respectfully directed to the advertisement of our young friends, Messrs. Ligon & Hill in this issue. These gentle? men are preparing to meet the demands of | their Ml trade, and by their reasonable prices and assiduous attention to business, deserv-j a liberal portion of the patronage.of | our community. Mr. ToXbgReid planted one-eighth of an acre in Irish potatoes last spring, and after using them plentifully for a family of eight during the; growing season, and when the crop htid matured he gathered fifteen bushels. This w'.is a handsome yield, and shows that Mr. Reid understands the culture of this excellent vegetable. We regret to announce the death of Mrs. Nancy Braswell, which occurred at her resi? dence r.ear Honea Path on Friday last. She was eighty-six years old, and died within a few dajs of her elder brother, the late Mr. Silas Massey. She had.been a member of | the Baptist Church for fifty-one years, and had raised sixteen children. Her many rel? atives and friends mourn her death. The torchlight procession at Abbeville on Friday night was an imposing affair, and was participated in by a great many of our citizens:.' Speeches were made by a number of gentlemen, including Maj. E. M. Rucker, wh'b'went'down with the Andersonians. It is a little peculiar that the Radicals were attempting to have a similar demonstration at the same hour in Columbia, but "Provi? dence fitiled to smile on them," as the heavi? est stor.n known this season put out their torches and dispersed the motley gang. On Sa turday, 16th inst., a large Democrat? ic flag was hoisted in Williamston just over the Railroad at the depot, where it can be seen all over town. It was raised by the Hampton Legion, Company D, who were dressed >n their uniform. After the flag was raised, Dr. H. I. Epting and several colored men addressed the crowd. The coloied men all spoke for Hampton. After the speaking, the Company, dressed in uniform, mounted horses laid rode* all over the town with shouts rad hurrahs. Williamston is very enthusiastic on politics, and expects a big time on ihe 29th inst. We would again call the attention of our readers, and especially those who are inter? ested in machinery, to the advertisement of | Messrs. Poole & Hnnt, so widely and favora? bly known as Engineers, Founders and Machinists. Ever determined to be among the first in the grand march of improvement, and to ktep pace with the marvelous advance of the age in science and mechanics, this firm spare no expense in perfecting the working capacity and appliances of their splendid establishment. Their new pattern and price lists, with many valuable additions, are now ready for distribution, and will be sent, postage-] ^aid, to those who make application for them. They have also on hand an ex? ceptionally large and comprehensive list of j miscellaneous machinery patterns. Messh*. Editoks : I rejoice to see and hear from the various Democratic Clubs of our" County that the good work is going so brave? ly on. I write to press it upon the minds of j the citizens of our County not to fail voting f at our primary election for Auditor and Treasurer. Our people have a choice as to who should fill these offices, and let them express that choice by their votes, no matter whether >:heir man has been nominated or not by any of the Clubs. This is the good oid way. I am getting to be quite an old man, but it makes my heart rejoice and beat quick and lively when I hear of the maul ings which our Democratic speakers are giving to those heartless Northern adventu? rers who have brought our glorious old Palmetto State to degradation, starvation and ruin. But I do believe that there is a better da,;r dawning, but for the life of me I can't cipher out the precise time of its arri? val. Fellow citizens, let us all join heart and hand, and make a strong pull and a long pull and a pull altogether and land the old ship of State in her proper moorings on the 7th of November, with Hampton. Simp? son and Conner at the helm. BILLY. A CARD. Having been nominated by some of the Democratic Clubs for one of the County Commissioners of Anderson County, I take this opportunity to return my thanks for the compliment which was unsought by me. If nominated at the primary election I will become a candidate, not otherwise. In con? senting to become a candidate I desire to say that I cannot undertake to canvass the County for the nomination. I believe that in this, os in every other case, the office should seek the man and not the man seek the office. JOHN C. GANTT. GINNEBS' MEETING. We^are requested to announce that there will be a meeting of theginners of Anderson County at this place on next Monday morn? ing at ten o'clock for the purpose of consid? ering important interests. Every ginnerin the County is earnestly requested to be pres? ent at that time if possible, and if not present to be represented by proxy. I. COTT??.

The Gruber family will giye the people of Anderson an opportunity of attending on* of their splendid concert entertainments this (Wednesday) evening in Masonic Hall. This family is represented as composing wonderful musical talent, and no doubt those who attend will be highly entertained. The Greenville papers speak in very high terms of tjoeir exhibition. MASS SLEETING AT DOUBLE 8PBIHGB. We are requested to announce that there will be a mass meeting of the Democracy at Double Springs in the Fork township of this County on next Saturday. Several speeches are expected, and the candidates generally are invited to attend. Every citizen of the vicinity is invited to attend, and the ladies are requested to bring their baskets with them. The colored people are especially invited to be present, as the speakers desire to address a portion of their remarks to their race. The day will no doubt be an interest? ing one. HASS MEETING AT WILLIAM8T0H. There will be a mass ratification meeting at Williamston on Friday, the 29th instant. The speakers for the occasion are Col. D. Wyatt Aiken, Col. J. S. Cothran, W. S. Pickens, Esq., Dr. W. C. Brown, Col. W. D. Wilkes, E. B. Murray, Esq.,. and the candidates generally. The Democratic Clubs and the rifle dubs of Anderson and adjoining counties are re? spectfully invited to be present. Arrange? ments will be made to secure the services of the Anderson and Pendleton Bands. The commanding officers of rifle clubs will report to Col. F. C. May, Chief Marshal of the day, at 9} o'clock a. m. H. I. EPTING, Secretary W. D. C. A CABD. Fbl?ow-Dkmocrats : I desire to withdraw my name from the candidacy for the nomi? nation of School Commissioner; and in doing so I must say that I feel deeply grate? ful to friends" who have so cordially given their infhience for me. I expect to devote all the time that I can spare from Dentistry to work for the success of Democracy, for we must win. I heartily coincide with the opinion that the time has come in our histo? ry when it ceases to be a question whether we can win or not; but we must have victo? ry at any cost within the law. Since the war we have been conservative Democrats, coalition Democrats, &c., bat now we are determined Democrats?determined that rogues shall no longer rule; determined that they shall take np their legitimate quarters- in the State prison; determined that it shall no longer be respectable to as? sociate with rogues; determined that vice and ignorance shall no longer rule virtue and intelligence; determined that carpet? bagger Chamberlain and all bis crew shall stop robbing South Carolina, and that our own glorious Hampton shall rule our State and make us proud that we are Carolinians once more. W. G. BROWNE. The many friends of Maj. R. M. BURNS recommend him as a suitable per? son to represent them as County Commis? sioner from th** northwestern portion of the County. The different Democratic Clubs will please take dne notice thereof, and govern them? selves accordingly. Saitoy Springs Democratic Club. BLOODY WORK IN BABNWELL. Negroes Aggressors?A Number of Men Killed?Houses 3irued?-Railroad Torn Up. Augusta, Ga., September 18. Mrs. Alonzo Harley, who lives near Silverton, Aiken County, S. C, was as? saulted at her residence, last Friday, by two negro men. She was knocked down two or three times. Her screams and those of her young son, alarmed the negroes, who fled. When the report of the assault on Mrs. Harley became known, the neighboring citizens assembled ana made search for the negroes, one of whoa was arrested ndshot; the other escaped. On Saturday, a warrant was placed in the hands of a constable who, with the aid of a posse of whites, attempted to make the arrest, which was resisted by a large crowd of negroes, armed with shot guns and Winchester rifles. Sunday the ex? citement continued, both whites and blacks being armed. There are reports of a skirmish during the day, in which two or three persons were wounded. To? ward night a compromise was agreed on? both parties to disband and retire to their homes. The negroes agreed to surrender the colored man who made the assault on Mrs. Harley, and deliver him over to the authorities at Aiken. With this under? standing the whites dispersed, and while retiring to their homes it is reported that several of the latter were ambushed while crossing Rouse's Bridge, and shot by ne? groes. A passenger train, from Augusta for Port Royal, which left this morning at 8 o'clock, has returned. Proceeding to Jackson station, the track was found torn up and a freight train, which left here at 6 o'clock, was found wrecked. The ne? groes had possession of the road. Super? intendent Flemming. of the Port Royal Road, telegraphed to Gov. Chamberlain, asking him for troops. He also applied to Lieutenant Barnhardt, of the United States Army, stationed at Hamburg, for assistance. A number of citizens have left for the disturbance, which is about twenty miles from Augusta, on the Port Royal Road. Later.?The telegraph wire was cut on Sunday, so that communication ex? cept by courier has been cut off. It is known that Wood, Hanklin and Brush, white, are killed, and that the telegraph operator is missing. Several houses have been burned. It is reported that six or seven negroes have been killed. Sensa? tional reports are to the effect that twen? ty-six white men are among the dead. Reinforcements went down from Augusta yesterday. It is thought that United States soldiers from Aiken have arrived ere this. The belief is that there has been a great deal of blood-shed.?Colum? bia Phoenix. Everybody who knows anything about Gov. Hayes knows that he is a wealthy man; but nothing of the sort appears in his oaths before the assessor. The campaign in Ohio will soon get a warming up. Among those who will make speeches there during the present month are Senators Francis Kernan. Lieutenant-Governor Dorsheimer and Sam. S. Cox. of New York. The Washington authorities have is? sued orders that the income returns of R. B. Hayes shall not be subjected to the inspection of the press. "This is a sacred thing." In Charleston, S. C, it requires a vol? unteer guard of conservative white citi? zens to protect the meeting of a Demo? cratic colored club from violence; but so far as heard from Gov. Chamberlain has not communicated this fact to the Presi? dent. Such u clear case of "intimida? tion" as this is almost enough to warrant an extra session of Congress.?St. Louis Times. New York Herald: "It is pleasant to know that Tilden was once a nice little baby with coral beads on his neck and a spoonful of paregoric gurgling in his throat." Don't let the Times hear of it, or it will accuse Tilden of having poi? soned his nurse with the paregoric and stolen the beads from another baby. EDITORIAL NOTES. L. Cass Carpenter received the nomi? nation for Congress from the Third Dis? trict at the hands 'of the Republican Convention. H?ge bad the good sen?e to withdraw, as he was not desirous of changing his luck after so many triumphs, and he feels confident that Col. Aiken will be our next Representative. Purvis contested the nomination with Carpenter, bnt the white carpet-bagger was too much for the "man and brother/' albeit he is the same genus as to foreign im? portation. It is currently reported that the infa? mous Maj, Lewis Merrill, (the man who is said to have received $85,000 for hound? ing down innocent men charged as ku klux,) is to be sent to-South Carolina once more. He is to have three hun? dred colored troops this time. As he proved the most active foraentor Of strife and discord here before, he is the very man that the "bloody shirt" villains wish to station here again. He will be ex? pected to do such satanic work as no gen? tleman of the army would consent to execute. The name of Mr. John G. Thompson no longer graces the head of the editorial department of the Columbia Union Herald. For some days that paper failed to place the name of Elliott among the nominees of the State ticket, but at last the name of this worthy, whom Judge Mackey dubs "the leader of the robber band of South Carolina," is put up for Attorney General, and Mr. Thompson's name omitted as editor. If he has with? drawn rather than edit a sheet devoted to such a motley crew, he deserves con? gratulation for this evidence of self-re? spect. Will Governor Chamberlain enlighten us with information as to the person who attempted to make him pay for Elliott's silence, either in money or promises? As the disclosures were by no means overwhelming, there is no evidence that some arrangement of the matter was not made. The Governor owes it to himself and the people of the State to name the man who thus attempted to corrupt him. But, moreover, he owes it to R. B. Elliott, the nominee for Attorney General upon his ticket, to make a clear breast of the whole affair, otherwise the public will have the right to believe that the nomi? nee for Attorney General attempted to corrupt the nominee for Governor, and that the latter is now keeping the secret of the former's connection with the in? famous attempt at corruption. Give us all the facts, or own op that the Repub? lican State ticket has corrupt men upon it in the most important positions. The Keowee Courier says: "Caroliua, an old servant of Gen. Hampton's family, died at Cashier's Valley hist week. On Thursday night his remains were brought here and on Friday taken to Columbia for interment?the whole expense of the transportation and funeral being borne by Gen. Hampton. This is an every day illustration of the care and treatment of servants by their old masters, and is a truthful commentary on the misrepresen? tations of the Southern people." Think of this act of General Hampton, colored men, in carrying one of your race two hundred miles that his remains in death may rest among the graves of his kindred and friends. Has Governor Chamber? lain ever done such an act of humanity for any colored man in South Carolina or elsewhere? Can you fear to trust your \ interests as citizens to a man of such j philanthropy and Christian virtue as Hampton? I Judge Shaw and F. J. Moses, jr., have I submitted the question as to the Circuit Judgeship to the Supreme Court for de ! cision. It is understood that a hearing will be had in a short time, and the de I cision in the case of Moses will also de? termine the case of Whipper. In his [ reply to Elliott the other night, Gover? nor Chamberlain declared that he was ready to obey the mandate of the Su? preme Court, which had the power to I compel him to sign the commissions of Moses and Whipper, and there had never been a time when he would have refused I to sign the commissions, if so directed by the Supreme Court. It .is a trifle sin? gular, while this matter was in abeyance and the Governor entertained such views as to the power of the Supreme Court, that he went so far as to issue commis? sions for four years to Reed and Shaw. His present declaration is inconsistent with that act, in our judgment. Can a Governor issue and revoke commissions at pleasure? POLITICAL NOTES. Troops are wanted in South Carolina to prevent the negroes from stampeding to Wade Hampton. Grant announces that he shall settle in Washington when his term is out. That ought to be satisfactory to the rest of the country. ? The news from North Carolina is most cheering. The eloquent Vance is making a magnificent canvass. As a popular orator Vance has no superior in the country, if he has his peer. Grant is sorry he gave up the life posi? tion of General of the Army for the Presidency. The whole country partici? pates in this sorrow. We can rejoice, however, that final relief from Grantism is about to be had. In the opinion of the Courier-Journal, were Gabriel to descend and announce the end of all corruption, the New York Times would be out with a supplement showing that he was one of the rebel angels; that he didn't come by his trum? pet honestly, and that the resurrection ought to be postponed. The Radicals employ for political pur? poses during this campaign eighty thou? sand office holders, a standing army of twenty-five thousand men, every post office in the United States and the Asso? ciated Press. The people have heavy odds to fight against, but it is an encour? aging fact that the robbed largely out? number the robbers. Mr. Joseph Pulitzer, in a German speech in Indiana, defines a rebel and traitor as the man who "conspires to fan sectional strife, to beget war and riot; who is opposed to peace, prosperity and national unity; who robs his country and brings it into disrepute; in fine, a man who assaults and stabs his country and his people." That hits Morton, Boutwell, Kilpatrick & Co. right between I the eyes. OTR'WASHJW?TON XEJ?KB^': Wathington, D. C, Sept. 16, 1876. THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS. Od the 4th of next month, Georgia will elect a Governor. As that State is bo overwhelmingly Democratic, the peo? ple of other States evince very little in? terest in the election there; taking it for granted that the usual Democratic ma? jority will be polled,, or that, at any rate, it will not be sufficiently reduced to in? dicate a possible vote in November for Mr. Hayesr On the 10th of next month, however, elections will be held in-Colo? rado, Indiana, lowa, Nebraska, Ohio and West Virg&?}vand intense anxiety is exhibited all over the Union on the re? sult in those States. At the present wri? ting, it looks as if Indiana Ohio and West Virginia will go Democratic ; al? though: the vote may be very close, espe pecially in Indiana and Ohio ; and that the Republicans will carry Colorado, Io? wa and Nebraska. But these State elec? tions, although not to be ignored in esti? mating probabilities, are not entitled to the consideration usually awarded them. Local issues, unknown to outsiders, often produce majorities in the September and October elections that are reversed in the following November. For example, al? though the Democracy carried Indiana, in the State election of 1872, by 1,148 majority, Grant carried it, a month after, by 22,516. In some of the Western States, the lager beer question is a prom? inent local issue; and many of the Drew? ers have combined to protect themselves from State legislation adverse to their in? terests. Tbey will, therefore oppose, tooth and hail, any candidate, of whatever par? ty, whom they suppose to be a prohibi? tionist. The feeling in 'tfae^WesWs'Triso strong and growing against Sunday legis? lation ; and* the Americans, in that sec? tion, are getting to be in*';fierce as the Germans for the abolition' *of Sunday laws. On all these local issues, the Dem? ocratic candidates for State offices are with the brewers and their friends, and will receive their votes. But, as the Fed? eral Government has nothing to do with these issues, it may happen, as in Indi-1 ana, in '72, that the vote in November may be of an opposite complexion. It behooves us, therefore, in our efforts to elect Tilden and Hendricks, to ignore these local questions which may be par? amount in tue October elections, and to confine ourselves to those of national im? portance. Let us not mince matters on this sub? ject. It is too important to be trifled with. This is about the situation, now, in all the Western States. There is a strong and pronounced sentiment that the present Administration has been derelict in its duty to the people. The people understand very Well' that the war, primarily, brought about the bard times; but, for all that, the idea widely prevails that if the Administration had done its whole duty, the country .need not and would not have been in its-pros en t woful predicament; and there is no doubt that, under' he circumstances, if the people had entire confidence in the hon? esty of purpose and in the patriotism of the Democracy and their candidate, the Democratic ticket would be elected be? yond a doubt all over the West. But while the Republicans are flooding the couutry with false charges against Mr. Tilden of disloyal utterances and acts during the war, of having defrauded the Government, of having issued, in Mich? igan, to his workmen, in violation of law, paper money which be refused to redeem, of having been the friend -and adherent of Tweed until long after the crimes of the latter were brought to light by the New York Times, a Republican sheet while these printed slanders are industri? ously circulated, by the million, all over the country, by the Republican National Committee, aud are in the hands of eve? ry man, woman and child, the Democrat? ic National Committee and Mr. Tilden's personal friends have, for some reason or other, neglected to refute them satisfac? torily-and, in some instances, have not replied to them at all. If the friends of Mr. Tilden could be made to understand that the millions of elaborately prepared pamphlets, contain? ing these unanswered slanders on our standard-bearer, are working incalcula? ble mischief all over the country, they would certainly cause them to be author atively denied, and to be proved to be false, at the earliest possible moment. There is little doubt, notwithstanding all this culpable remissness, of a glorious victory in November; but it is as well to make assurance doubly sure. THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR GOV? ERNOR OF NEW YORK. We arc all glad, in Washington, that the Democrats of New York have at length got a candidate for Governor, Hon. Lucius Robinson, upon whom the various elements of the party in the State will unite. Mr. Robinson is a man of high personal character, and has proved himself, in the responsible position of Comptroller of the State, which he now holds, to be a man of good judgment and rare executive ability. The fact that he was Mr. Tilden's second choice for the position gives assurance that he will strengthen the Presidential ticket. It was thought here that Mr. Doroheimer, the candidate for Lieutenant-Governor, would secure the first place on the ticket, as he was understood to be Mr. Tilden's first choice. Both Mr. Robinson and Dr. Dorsbeimer were, until recently, Repub? licans, and their nomination to the first two positions of honor in the State will secure to the Democratic ticket a large "Liberal" vote. THE CENTENNIAL. Travel to Philadelphia from all parts of the country is increasing, and a very large proportion of the visitors to the ex? hibition pass a few days in Washington. This they are able to do, at no extra charge for car fare, owing to the patriot? ism and liberality of President J. W. Garrett, of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail? road, who inaugurated the system by which travelers from the West bound to Philadelphia can take Washington on their way without extra charge. Or they may return home by the way of Wash? ington, as they may choose. The Cen-.. ten nial Exposition Owes not a little of its' success to the co-operation of the officers' of the several railroads throughout the country ; and these gentlemen have been accustomed, for years, to look upon Mr. Garrett as their leader in all public-spir? ited enterprises, and to take their cue from him. THE METRIC SYSTEM OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. An earnest effort is being made by the advocates of the International or Metric system of weights and measures to pro? cure its adoption in the United States. An organization called the American Metric Bureau, having its headquarters iu Boston, now publishes a bulletin call? ing attention to the advantages of this system. There is no dcubt that the met? ric system is superior in simplicity and intelligibility lo our present confused and arbitrary system, or rather no sys? tem ; and there is no doubt that it will sooner or later come into use in this country. It has already been adopted in France, Germany, Austria, the Neth? erlands, Southern Europe, and South America, and has been legalized in Great Britain and the United States.

THE STATE CAtfVASS. kingstree goes t>emgce atic. About ten, tfoy? ago S. A. Swails, State Senator of this county and Intendant of] Kingstree?the man who claims that he is the "boss" of Williarnsburg as well as Kingstree?the man who.lately declared that he could beat God Almighty in a fair race?announced that he desired to have a straight-out council at the present fall election, that is to say, he wanteddt straight Radical or straight Democratic. The Democrats accepted the offer, and about a week ago began to marshal their forces for the fray. A three days' regis? tration was held and 86 votes were regis? tered. Swails counted noses and felt pulses around and finding his chances not so good as he supposed in a square fight, tried on Friday last to get up a citizen's meeting to nominate a mixed ticket as heretofore. But the Democrats refused to attend and brought out a square ticket, with our worthy fellow citizen, Dr. J. S. Brock in ton. at the head for Intendant. The election came off on Monday last, and the result was a glori? ous victory for the Democrats; Swails being defeated by 11 votes. This is; the first triumph of the straight-out principle. His whole ticket is defeated ana put to a rout, though they fought hard to win. Colored men voted openly and manfully, in the presence of Swails, for the Demo? cratic ticket, for which they deserve all praise. In this they must be protected and sustained by the white people. * They must be encouraged and befriended on ail occasions, and the same results will follow in the county election and all over the State. In Kingstree the spell is broken; keep it so.?Kingstree Star. '' the ring beaten in aiken. The election in ?iken on Monday re? sulted in a triumph for the citizen's ticket over the regular Republican nominations. J. N. Wigfall was elected Intendant over j Dr. P; G. Rockwell. All the Democratic I candidates for Warden*! were elected. The ticket is composed of good citizens.' and was warmly supported by the colorea people to the number of seventy-five or I more, by which majority the Democratic | ticket was electea.' The Republicans have carried the town hitherto fty about an equal number. barnwell e1jects democrats. At the town election on September 12. the Radicals were so completely whippea ont that thev will not mate another effort in that locality. They fought nobly ibr awhile, but soon perceiving that their fate was inevitably sealed, they reluctant? ly retired from the field, disgusted and mortified. That ticket is as follows: In? tendant?Robert Aldrich. Wardens?A. P. Manville, S. N. Bellenger, John Owens, C. Pech man. All straight-out Democrats. Barn well is all right. A. S. Wallace was nominated by the Radicals at Winnsboro Monday for Con? gress from the Fourth District,' which he has had the honor of misrepresenting for the past three terms. The people of his District are more than tired of him, ana: the indications are that they will swap him off for Col. John H. Evins this time. It will be an excellent trade. SPECIAL NOTICES. Questions for Every One to Answer. Are you troubled with Indigestion, Constipation of the Bowels, Dyspepsia, or any disease of the Liver? Have you suffered for years and found no relief | from the use of medicines? Do you have a faint appetite, and are yon troubled with feelings of languor? If you have these , feelings we know you-nave not tried the new discovery MERRELL'S HEPATINE, at Simpson & Sadler's Drag Store. It is performing wonderful cures in this and all other communities where the people use it. It is pronounced by all as the best Liver Medicine in the world. Two doses will relieve the worst | case of Dyspepsia or Constipation of the Bowels. Each bottle contains fifty doses, and a teaapoonful of this medicine in a wineglassful. of water three timea.a .day for one day, produces a most wonderful change. Where the system is ran down with loss of energy step appetite, or Pys? pepsia, with all its train or evil, is effect^ ing its deadly work, this remedy, MER? RELL'S HEPATLNE, never fails to bring about a speedy and permanent cure. Those who doubt the merit aud virtues of this medicine and live from day to day without trying the HEPATINE, have our sympathy, but cannot be cured unless they take the Medicine. Want of Confidence. Trade is depressed, and the industries of the whole country flags. Ask the cause and yon are told it is due to "want of confi? dence." Ask the few who have not used Da. Tctt'8 Haie Dyk, and they say "1 have no confidence in it. I have been so often humbugged by such articles." We ask them to read the following testimony from parties of undoubted veracity: Hawkinsville, Ga., October 30,1869. Da. W. H. Tott?Dear Sur: I consider your Hair Dye a triumph.

Although years of experience iu medicine had failed to accomplish a certain and sure remedy for this disease and its effects, such as Sour Stomach, Heart-burn, Water-brash, Sick Headache, Costiveness, palpation of the Heart, Liver Complaint, coming up of the" food, low spirits, general debihty, etc., yet since the introduction of Greeks August Flower we believe there is no case of JJys pepsia that cannot be immediately relieved. 30,000 dozen sold last year without one case of failure reported. Go to your Druggists, Wilhite & Wilhams, and get a Sample Bottle for 10 cents and try it. Two doses will re? lieve yon.
