?,?&txm Intelligenter? E. B. 2TUBRAY, Editor. THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 1884. TERMS: ONE YEAR._._?1.50. SIX MONTHS....~.? 75c. Two Dollars if not paid In advance. W. P. Cash has so far eluded arrest, and is to-day a fugitive from justice, with a reward offered for his capture. Gov, Thompson received a telegram from a friend of Cash last week, stating that Cash would surrender if allowed to stay in Chesterfield jail. Gov. Thomp? son very promptly replied that he had no authority to designate where prisoners shall be confined, and therefore could give no guarantee on the subject. It is thought by many that Cash will not be able to escape long, and that he will eventually surrender unconditionally. Speaking of Mr. Tilden as a probable .candidate for President, the leading Georgia politicians say: "Colonel Tom Hardeman says he will be the Democrat? ic nominee unless he dies before the Convention meets. Senator Brown says nothing but the most positive pro? hibition to use his name when the Con? vention assembles can prevent his nomi? nation. Senator Colquitt says the popu? lar demand for Tilden's nomination is unprecedented, and it seems that he will Denominated anyhow." Our contemporaries who have been abusing Mr. Tilden may as well make up their minds to see him nominated for President by the Democratic Convention in Chicago, unless he dies before that time or positively refuses to serve. The drift of public sentiment is strongly in his favor, *and there is scarcely 'time enongh between this end the July Con? vention to. change it. We believe he will be nominated and elected, and it is fortunate that we have such an available caudidate at this time?otherwise there would be great danger of the most seri? ous troubles in the Democratic canvass. After the arrest of Col. Cash last week', proceedings in Habeas Corpus were ta? ken out for his release by his counsel, Messrs. Ball & Watts, of Laurens, and Gen. Y. J. Pope, of Newberry, before Chief Justice Simpson, on the allegation that his arrest and detention in Richland County was illegal. Attorney General Miles and Solicitor Newton appeared for the State, and after argument the Chief Justice decided that Cash was legally in custody for an offense which under the law was bailable, and that he would ad? mit him to bail. The Counsel for Col. Cash suggested a bond for five hundred dollars, while the Attorney General sug? gested five thousand dollars. The Chief Justice decided to require a bond for twenty-five hundred dollars, which was promptly given. Messrs. John Agnew and W. J. DeBruhl, signing the bond with Co . Cash, whereupon he was dis? charged to appear at the next term of Court for Chesterfield County, to answer 'to a charge of being accessory after the fact in the killing of Richards. All of the facts, brought out upon the proceed? ings in Habeas Corpus, fully justify the action of the Governor, and tbe amount of bail required shows that there is enough in the case to justify the charge made against Col. Cash, and render it proper that he should be put upon trial 4 for the same, according to law. This having been done, the public can trust the Courts to deal justly in the matter. If Col. Cash is guilty, he will doubtless be convicted, and if innocent, he will no doubt be acquitted. He has been taught - that he cannot defy tbe law, and that he is as amenable to its behests as the hum ? blest citi;:en. This is what the public welfare requires, and it was no persecu? tion of Col. Cash to demand it. The supremacy of the law has been vindica? ted and a wholesome lesson set for the people of the State. THE SATANNAH VALLEY BAELBOAD. The elections recently held in the townships of Abbeville County, along; the line of this railroad, upon the propo? sition to subscribe by taxation to its. building, have resulted most satisfactori? ly to the friends of the road, and will certainly give it a new impetus which, we trust, will secure its early completion. The twenty thousand just voted in Ab? beville County, with tbe twenty five thousand voted in Anderson some time ago, gives the company an additional capital of forty-five thousand dollars with which to renew operations. This should be supplemented by at least fifteen -thousand dollars from the townships of Hopewell, Centreville, Broadaway, Va rennes Hall, Corner and Savannah in this County, and ten thousand from the City of Anderson. This would give the road a capital of seventy thousand dol? lars, and would ensure its early comple? tion beyond a doubt. Such a subscrip? tion would not be burdensome on our townships, for it would only require tbe payment of an average of a little over one thousand dollars a year for two years from each of the townships named, and we have no doubt that each of them would save every year, after the Savan. nah Valley Road is completed, a larger sum in lower freights than they wonld have to pay during these two years, so that it will in that way be a profitable financial investment for our people. It will improve our market, and give new facilities to all of our people. Its con? struction will give us a better and safer guarantee against unjust or exorbitant railroad rates, than all the Commissions and laws which the State can establish can possibly do, for it would act by the laws of competition, which appeal to the interests of the separate companies. With this road as a part of the Georgia Central Road and our present railroad connections, we would have two strong and competitive systems, to each striving to carry the freights of this country, and as a consequence each would have them at tbe lowest profitable rate. The con? sumer would get the benefit of this re? duction, and there can be uo question that it would more than compensate for tbe small investment necessary to secure these advantages. We hope our people will be sufficiently progressive to realize these facts, and sufficiently public-spirit ed to make the contribution asked to secure such great advantages for ourselves and for the future of our City and our County. NOT A CANDIDATE. The Atlanta Constitution by its corres? pondent, Mr. Clark Howell, has inter? viewed Mr. Tilden, and after describing the appearance and situation of bis house in Gramercy Park, gives the following as the result ot his interview : Imagine my surprise then on hearing the footsteps on the hallway, to see as I turned, Mr. Tilden himself advancing towards me. True, his step was not characterized with the easy movements of one in his prime of years. Nor on the other hand did it strike me as being more feeble than could be expected from one who had turned his three-score years and ten. The nervous prostration which a life of exertion had caused, showed itself in the tremor of his band, but his eyes, the windows of his brain, were far more clear and steady than those of nine tenths of the men who have as yet but turned their sixtys. He wore a plain cloth suit, his collar fitted closely around his neck, his hair was brushed back from his forehead, and as he leaned towards me with? "You come to see me from the Consti \lulion1" I felt as I replied in the affir? mative, when I saw his calm and steady glance, that the magnitude of the mind before me overshadowed even the frail body which held it. The report of his brother Henry's death at New Lebanon bad reached him but this morning, and though his voice was scarcely above a whisper, yet it carried with it the emotion which filled his soul. He spoke tenderly of his broth? er, and though his death had been ex? pected, yet it shocked him. I sat near him as he spoke, that I might catch his words, for his utterance was feeble and [scarcely audible at a short distance, I through some trouble with his throat. But the comparatively strong man whom I sat before had agreeably surprised me in that he moved with ease, certainly portraying not the characteristics of a confirmed invalid. His conversation was j quick and he seemed to take much inter? est in subjects of which he spoke.' I "No, I am not so bad as I have been pictured," said he, in reply to my expres? sion of surprise as to his health. "I am feeble and prostrated from a life of exer? tion, but my doctors are positive that my vital organs are perfectly sound. Oh, I no, I am being made fair worse than I really am." I I touched politics incidentally, and told him of the strong sentiment in the South for. his re-nomination. It was almost humorous as be leaned to me and smilingly said: "We are all against the old ticket in this house." - "But the general verdict of the party now seems to point to the certainty of its renomination at Chicago ?" "Yes, and I appreciate it, but I will not allow the use of my name. I know that I reformed the politics of New York ten years ago. I was more able then than now. It would be a herculean task to, undertake to reformJnow the matters of the general government. After twen? ty years of misrule and mismanagement, corruption has become fixed, and the most vigorons efforts will b% necessary to eradicate it. I don't feel my condition would allow me to cope with it. In my letter a few years ago, I stated why I would not allow the use of my name. It was discredited. The same reasons I now urge. They have become stronger, for I am four years older, and am more infirm now than then. I would urge I that the idea be discontinued, for it is not right that I should undertake, to do that which I am practically unable to do." "Whom, then, do you consider the most available man for the Democrats ?" j He slowly shook his head as he replied: "Well, I don't know. Hoadly is a good man. His strength in the Western States would add mnch to his chances of I success. With the German vote he is I very popular, and he would prove gener? ally acceptable. Payne would be strong, and could make a splendid race." "And Randall?" "An admirable man, and one who would setve his party and country faith? fully." "Where in your opinion will the Re j publican nomination be placed ?" "On Blaine or Arthur, I suppose." "What, governor, do you think will or should be the leading issue of the democ? racy ?" 1 "Re/orm," he replied, "reform should be the issue. After a misrule of 20 years the people will stand by it. The party has it in its own hands if it will but take advantage of it." "And if you are considered to be the one to save it, you could not resist its call." ; "I should have to. I have served it I faithfully until I am now unablu to un? dergo the exertions which, in case of election, I should have to make. It can be done without me. I could not stand the physical effort. I would not disap? point my party. My name must not be considered." This was said with a positive firmness, I and as he concluded with a comment on } the lovo of hiB party and his devotion to I its principles, I was more than ever con? vinced of his grandeur as a statesman. Yea, he seemed a patriot to me, as he slowly arose, and raising his voice above the whisper in which he had spoken, re? peated : "I could not stand the physical effort. I would not disappoint my party." His conversation then became general, and but one more political topic was touched, and that in reference to the electoral commission. In reply to some question concerning it, he said: "Yes, I supported it. I was in favor of it, but its act was one of great wrong and injustice. I know the people sym? pathize with me, but it is too late. It is past, and is a wrong that can't be right? ed." He spoke of bis house, which was nearing completion, and asked me if I would like to see it. He then showed me through the spacious rooms of the first floor himself. He enjoyed it, and seem? ed to take much pleasure in explaining the hundreds of little conveniences, or pointing out the beauty of the workman? ship of some exquisite carvings or handi? work. ! As I left he gently whispered : "Would you like to have a picture?" and going back with him to his library be took from a drawer iii his book case, a cabinet ?the same face which thrilled the coun? try in 76, and which is still loved wher? ever his name is known, and placing it in my hand smiled as be said : "I am sorry you came so far to see me. It was a good deal of trouble." Death of Miss Thompson. At 6 o'clock last evening death came to the relief of Miss Eliza Cornelia, ? eldest daughter of Governor Hugh S. I Thompson, who was fatally burned on a evening of the 4th instant. Miss Thompson was sitting in front of an open grate reading a book when her dress took me, and before the flames could bo extinguished she received the injuries which have terminated fatally. The deceased was a little over 18 years of age. The Governor and his family have the Bincere condolence not only of this community but of the entire State in their sad bereavement. The funeral services will be held at Trinity Church this afternoon, at half-past 4 o'clock.? Columbia Register, 16th inst, ? Among the recent patents is a pock? et "storm indicator." Every married man of convivial habits should hare one and keep it in the same pocket with his night-key. J A Free Trade Dinner. New York, March 15.?The sixth annual dinner of the New York Free Trade Club was held at Delmonico's this evening. Some of the responses to the toasts were as follows: "Our Federal Union"?John G. Carlisle. "Equality before the law"?Z. B. Vance. "Tbe Erospect of tariff reform, free trade and etter times"?David A. Wells. "Fed? eral taxation"?Frank H. Hurd. "Our mercantile marine"?Samuel S. Cox. "Fallacies of legislation"?Prof. N. G. Sumner. The tables were full. Guests from va? rious parts of tbe country bad gathered in the hope of hearing John G. Carlisle, the Speaker of the House of Represen? tatives, say something on the principles that gave the Club its name. President Everett P. Wheeler welcom? ed the guests, especially Speaker Carlisle. As the Speaker's name was meutioned the House arose and cheered. The pres? ident of tbe club referred to tbe resolu? tion of sympathy passed by tbe House of Representatives on the death of Lasker, the determined opponent of "the protec? tive policy," and said that "we are de .lighted to notice that tbe whole country has united, without distinction of party, in condemning the action of the German Chancellor in refusing to transmit this resolution to tbe Reichstag." He said that another encouraging fact is the re? port on the Morrison bill. "It is a step forward, and we welcome it." Mr. Carlisle was tbe next speaker. When he arose every man in the room stood up and cheered again and again. Mr. Carlisle made a speech that was evi? dently, prepared. His reference to "a revenue for public purposes," elicited emphatic concurrence, as did his declara? tion that he was for "a reformation, not a revolution." When Carlisle concluded by saying that he would cheerfully co-operate with any men to bring about a limit of taxa? tion for public expenses only, the mem? bers of the club once more got on their feet and waved their napkins and cheer? ed. Carolina, Chicago and Cumberland Gap. Tbe officers of the Louisville and Nashville deny that their company is to aid ".in the construction of the Carolina, Cumberland Gap and Chicago Railway, and so we must take for granted that, if the latter is to be built, it will be done independently. It will be remembered that this new road was intended to begin at Aiken, S. C, with a spur to Augusta, and extend in a North Westerly direction to Lexing? ton,- Ky., where connection was to be made with the several lines which centre there. Its course lies through the rich cotton districts of South Carolina, the forests of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the extensive iron and coal fields of Eastern Tennessee and Kentucky. Such a line ought to 'be made to pay, for it would open up a valuable section of country which would give a large local traffic. . It is not probable that all of the pro? posed line will ever be constructed, for it would be sufficient to build from tbe junction with the Louisville and Nash? ville at London, Kentucky, and then in connection with that road and the South Carolina Railway, an air line would be formed between Louisville and Charles? ton. - Although, in the present instance, says the St. Louis Railway Register, the re? port of the alliance with tbe Louisville and Nashville" seems to be unfounded, it is not altogether improbable that this great company may ultimately conclude that to aid in the building of the new road would not be unwise. To us, such an extension of its Hues would appear to be, if undertaken at the right time, a profitable undertaking. A Fearful Mining Disaster. Petersburg, Va., March 13.?Intel? ligence has just been received here of a terrible explosion in the coal mines of the Southwest Virginia Improvement Company at Pocahontas, Tazewell Coun? ty, in this State, which occurred this morning at 1 o'clock. These mines are worked by a joint stock company com? posed mostly of Northern capitalists. There were one hundred at. fifty men iu the mine at the time of the explosion, not one of whom is believed to have escaped. Those who were not killed I outright by the terrible force of the ex* plosion most likely perished from the after-damp. It is presumed that tbe cause of tbe explosion was that one of the miners struck a fissure filled with gas. Several parties ventured into tbe mines this morning, but could not long endure the foul atmosphere. A number of bodies were discovered horribly mangled, some of them with the beads torn from the trunks and others with limbs all gone, present an appalling spectacle. The work of destruction was not confined entirely to the interior of the mines, but houses 200 or 300 feet removed from the mines were overturned and in several instances entirely demol? ished. The large ventilator of the South? west Improvement Company was blown to atoms, and the mines cannot be en? tered until another is- constructed for the purpose of freeing the atmosphere of suffocating fumes. This work is now progressing speedily. A large fore is engaged on the outside of the mines constructing coffins and perfecting other arrangements for the interment of the dead miners, most of whom are foreign? ers. Respited For Fifty-Seven Years. Wilmington, Del, March 11.?The Governor of this State is not empowered by law to commute a death sentence to imprisonment for life, but he can do tbe next best thing, as he did to-day for Lewis F. List. On the 8th of September last List lived in the same house in this city with a Mrs. DeaD, with whom he quarreled about the payment of his rent and assaulted her quite rudely. George, Taylor, her nephew, interfered, knocked List down and began beating him. List's father interferred and the quarrel for the time was ended, but it was renewed later in the day, when List shot Taylor, inflict? ing a mortal wound. List's father was with bim at tbe time. Immediately after the shooting young List ran away. He was stopped by Huge Stewart, but he used his pistol again and the ball grazed Stewart's head. The old man then ar? rived and Stewart released the murderer, who fled with his father to the home of the latter, where both were afterwards arrested. The prisoners were tried at tbe November term of Court, when Louis F. List was found guilty of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be hanged. Lewis List, the father, was found guilty in the second degree and sentenced to imprisonment for life. The Governor was appealed to in young List's behalf and to-day granted a reprieve until Friday, May 2,1940. He is now twenty five years of age and if he lives out the fif? ty-seven years allotted him, another brief respite will probably enable him to die in peace. ? To disprove the allegation that Sarauel J. Tilden refused to lend finan? cial aid in Hancock's coutest, the New York Sun publishes abstracts from tho Democratic campaign account book. Among the contributions were the follow? ing: Samuel J. Tilden, of New York, $51,500; W. II. Barnum, of Connecticut, $40,000; W. L. Scott, of Pennsylvania, $43,000 ; Henrv B. Payne, of Ohio, $20, 000; Oliver H."Payne, of Ohio, $31,000; W. J. Gordon, of Ohio, $5,000. Jgy* With diamond Dyes any lady can get as good results as the best prac? tical dyer.

Columbia, March 12.?The commis? sion appointed to select and prescribe a general uniform for the State Volunteer troops has completed its work and ad? journed. The specifications for the uni? forms have not been fully committed to writing yet and are* very long, but the following covers the ground: Privates will wear gray suits of the United States army regulation cut. Officers will wear gray coats and dark blue trousers. Offi? cers aud men alike will wear helmets. Tho generals only will adhere to the chapeau. The uniforms will have facings according to the diflereut arms of the service?infantry black, cavalry yel? low and artillery "red. The shoulder knots will be of the regulation United States pattern. In all respects the cut and finish of the uniforms will conform as closely as possible to the United States regulation style. The uniform adopted will be simple and inexpensive, but at the same time soldierlike aud sufficiently attractive. The coat for privates' uniform will vary from $S to $1-1, according; to the quality of the material used. Of course each command can select its own cloth for uniforms. The commission has done its work quickly and well. While our soldiery will not be as gaily clad as many now are, they will have the consolation of being saved from great expense by the adoption of a really uniform uniform of simple pattern.? Cbrespondenee News and Courier. The Negro Problem. Washington, March 14.?Leading Southern Congressmen have been sub? jected during the past week to a series of questions tending to show what steps should be taken regarding he negro problem. Among those askeu to give an opinion were Senators Butler and Hampton of South Carolina, and Col quitt of Georgia. These gentlemen thought the question one which could not be settled definitely by any law, but must be left to regulate itself. All at? tempts to meddle with the question had hitherto proven futile, and agitation at this time did not promise any better re? sults in allaying the evil complained of. No one could say what would be the course proper to be pursued, and the only reply that could be returned was to let it alone. Judge Hugh L. Bond during a, recent sojourn here said to your correspondent that when he visited South Carolina again be would devote his attention to civil cases, and cot political as hereto? fore. Too much time had been wasted in the consideration of the latter class of cases, and the over-crowded docket of civil cases must be relieved. This will be good news to the people of South Carolina and?of the entire section pre? sided over by Judge Bond, for in the past the election trials have merely de? generated into farces which expended money without giving any practical re? sults.?Special to the News and Courier. The Edgcfleld Democracy, The proposition which has been made to change the constitution of the Edge field Democracy provides that the party shall be organized into primary clubs, each club to have not less than fifty bona fide active members. No man shall belong to two clubs at the same time. Each club shall keep a complete roil of its members, a duplicate of which shall be filed with the County Executive Committee, and all new members shall be certified to the Committee before they shall be entitled to representation in any County Convention. Each club shall make rules for its own government. A majority of all the members of each primary club shall be necessary to con? stitute a quorum for the election of del? egates to the County Conventions and each club shall be entitled to one dele? gate for every ten members. The County Executive Committee shall consist of one member from each club and shall have power to call the County Conven? tions of tho party. The County Con? ventions shall have the power to nomi? nate candidates for office, by a viva voce vote. It is said that under this constitu? tion the County Conventions will be composed of about 300 members, all to be elected on the same day, and by a majority of all the votes of the County. Such a body ought to give a fair and impartial reflection of the popular will. It is also said this plan is to save a large amount of time, troubJp and expense to the people and candidates. A Marlboro Mystery. On the night of March 1st Mr. Joel Coving and bis son had occasion to make a search for a missing hog. They' wait? ed until pretty late and everybody had gone to rest. Leaving but little fire at home, they went out into the darkness and proceeded some distance, when sud? denly they saw a bright light at home which appeared to be herd up as if for a signal for their return. Knowing that they left but little fire at home and not being able to account for this singular light on the front piazza, they turned their steps, and the young man hurried on ahead, the father following after. Mr. C. states that his son had got but a short distance ahead of him when sud? denly there appeared a bright light in bis face, and his beard and coat sleeves seem? ed to be on fire. He rapidly rubbed both beard and sleeves and succeeded in putting out the light. He says it was raining at the time, and he was not the least bit excited. He says, furthermore, that when be reached the house and asked about the light in the piazza, no one knew anything about it, nor had they seen or heard any one around.? Marlboro Democrat. The German Chiiicellor. St. Louis, March 14.?The Westliche rost publishes extracts from the official dispatch of Bismarck to the German con? suls in the United States in regard to the prohibition of American pork. Bis? marck instructs the consuls to do every? thing in their power to cultivate friendly relations between Germany and tfie Uni? ted Stales. He says the prohibition of American pork arose altogether from sanitary reasons and has no unfriendly character whatever, and intimates it would be to the interest of the United States to adopt such sanitary measures as exist in Europe, and thereby put Germany in a position to permit the im? portation of American poik. The dis? patch shows conclusively that the Go? rnau Chancellor does not want to pro? voke retaliation, but it is his aim to pre? serve friendly relations between Germany and the United States. ? The Ohio Legislature has passed a law which permits intelligent citizens to read newspaper accounts of crime without being disqualified to act as a jurymen. The fact that a man of sense and judgment makes up his mind as to the guilt or innocence of a party accused by a newspaper may not preclude him, it is held, from changing his views on the presentation of additional facts. Under this new Ohio law juries in criminal cases will not be composed of ignorant and indifferent citizens as heretofore. V*"Every truth has two sides ; look at both before committing yourself to either." Kidney-Wort challenges the closest scrutiny of its ingredients and its grand results. It has nothing to fear from truth. Doctors niay disagree as to | the best methods and remedies, for tho cure of constipation and disordered liver and kidneys. But those that havo used Kidney-Wort, agree that it is by far the best medicine known. Its action is prompt, thoroughly and lasting. Counterfeiters at Work. The Secret Service Division of the Treasury Department reports that it is believed that counterfeiters are concert? ing measures to simultaneously pass upon the public, especially in the cities of the South and West, counterfeit twenty dol? lar silver certificates. A sample of the same has just been received at the office of the Secret Service Division. The issue is of the "Series of 1SS0?James Gilfillan, Treasurer of the United States." The paper is thick, greasy and stiff. The note is one-eighth of an inch shorter than the genuine. There is no distribu? ted fiber or parallel silk threads in the p.iper, as in the genuine. The words "Silver Certificate" appear in panels twice in the upper border on the lace of the note. In the panel to the left in '.he counterfeit the letters "R," "T"and UF" in the word ^'certificate" are engraved wrong side up. In the counterfeit there are no periods dividing the initials io B. K. Bruce (the Register's signature) on the lower left corner check, the letter "C" is without an accompanying num? ber, and in the name "Gilfillan" only the first "i" is dotted On the back of the note the word "Texas" is plainly spelled "Tares" and the word "engraved" is spelt "engravad." The color of the seal is brick red; it should be verging on brown. The fore? going salient points, if carefully noted, will for the present protect the public, while the note should not deceive careful handlers of money, especially when the gemetrie lathe work is examined; yet among the hurried and careless, because of its fair appearance, it may work great damage. The Lame 'Talk Through Prayer. Pittsburg, March 15.?What seems to be a genuine faith cure came to light to? day. Miss Mary Hilliard, who belongs to a well known East End family, has been lame for twenty years, and has been unable to walk unless she wore a boot and steel rod fasteued to her waist. On Sunday she visited the house of a friend, took off her boot, and joined with three or four others in prayer for her recovery. At the conclusion of the prayers she start? ed for home, leaving her boot and Bteel supporter in the house. She walked freely. She says the best physicians in London and New York pronounced her case hopeless, and that her instantaneous recovery is due to nothing but prayer. A Cyclone In Alabama. Chattanooga, Tens., March 13.?A destructive cyclone passed near Gunters ville, Ala., last night. H. S. Hess and Mrs. John Tidmore were killed. John Tidmore and Mrs. Frank Farmer were severely injured. About thirty houses in "the path of the storm were blown to atoms. The storm left the earth after moving nearly six miles. ? The Barnwell People says: "This will be a bard year but the next will be worse to the cottontots. The wise far? mer will be sure to plant corn enough. Cotton will be cheap next fall, and unless made as a surplus crop will cost more than it will bring." The plan of check? ing cotton has been popular wherever fairly tried. It can be cultivated with less labor and the yield is generally greater than when planted in drills. The largest crop ever grown, five bales per acre, was made by Mr. Warth en, of Barnwell County, on checked cotton. If enough seed are dropped in the check there will be no difficulty in securing good stands. A good ploughman can cultivate carefully checked cotton with? out calling in the help of the hoe hand. "Rough on CornB." Ask for Wells' "Rough on Corns." 15c. Quick, complete, permanent cure. Corns, warts, bunions. A Physician's Testimony.?-I was call? ed to see Mr. John Pearson, who was con? fined to his bed with what appeared to be consumption of the worst form. As all of his family had died with that dread disease (except his half brother), his death was re? garded as certain and soon. After exhaust? ing all the remedies, I finally, as a last re? sort, sent for a bottle of Brewer's Lung Re? storer, and it acted like magic. He contin? ued the use of it for some time and has been fully restored to health. So far as I could discover, he had consumption, and Brewer's Lung Restorer saved his life. J. O. Hoixoway, M. D., 35 Barnesville, Ga. Mr. Charles Eden, of Trinidad, Colorado, says: Seeing certificates of the wonderful cures made by Brewer's Lung Restorer, I was induced to try it on my little son, who was troubled with lung or throat affection, prononncod by one physician consumption. It acted wonderfully on him, and by the time he had taken one bottle of it the cough disappeared. I am now on a visit to my parents in Georgia, but will return in a few days to my home and will take some of the Lung Restorer with me. 3(3 "ANNOUNCEMENTS." " For Sheriff. The friends of JAMES H.

EDITOR : We beg leave through the columns of your journal to announce to the people of Anderson County in particular, and the balance of the world in general, that by the first of April we will be located in our ele? gant New Store Room on Whitner Street, a few steps West of the Waverly House. We have fitted up this room to meet the demands of our increasing business, and will now be able to show a large stock and to better advantage than ever before. In accomplishing this work we have not lost sight of the fact that a handsome store room demands a pretty stock of goods, and have therefore carefully selected a beauti? ful line of Ready-Made Clothing and Piece Goods, consisting of Broadcloths, English and French Diagonals, Flannels, Cassi? meres, Jeans and Cottonades. We will also keep on hand a good lino of Gents' Furnishing Goods, such as Shirts, Drawers, Socks, Handkerchiefs, Cravats and Collars, and in fact everything that is usually kept in a first-class Gents' Furnishing Store, except Boots and Shoes. We neglected to mention that we would keep Hats and Caps, of which we have purchased a nice stock. We will be glad to welcome our friends in our new quarters, and hope they will not forget us when they come to the City, but give us a call, whether they wish to purchase or not. We beg leave to add also that Mr. J. R. Smith, who has been known so long in our County, will occupy a part of our room, and will be pleased to see all of his old lriends. He will be prepared to Cut Out and Make Suits, and respectfully asks the patronage of his former customers. Allow us to say, in conclusion that we not only desire to retain the patronage of old customers, but hope by diligence and fair dealing to add many others to our list. Very Respectfully, SMITH & CO.

Every strain upon the eye adds injury to weakness to the most sensitive and valua? ble member of the human body, whether from the want of Spectacles or the use of imperfect ones. Prevent this strain and preserve the eye (if you value your eye? sight) by the use of King's ground, pol? ished, pure white, periscopic Lens.
