Business Methods.
When a chock is printed, "J'ay to
-, or bearer," and the word
"bearer" is erased, no other person
can collect the check but the person
whose name appears written in the
blank space; but if it reads, "Pay to
-, or order," then it becomes
negotiable without f?rther indorse
ment when the party in whose favor
it is given writes his name on the re
verse ride. When you receive a check,
note or draft from a party, payable to
his order, before you accept it see, that
it is properly indorsed by him, as it
will be of no value to you until it is so
indorsed.
When you receive o check, note or
draft from a person, for which, of
course, you give him something of val
ue, even in case the paper does not read
payable to his order, has not been in
dorsed over to him, do not accept the
paper without his indorsement; for,
in case it proves worthless, you will
have recourse on him. When he writes
his name on the back of the paper, it
means, in law, that he guarantees pay
ment. For instance: John Smith
might come into your store and give
you a check for $25, drawn by Grover
Cleveland, which reads as follows:
"Pay to cash," or "Pay to Benjamin
Harrison, or order." Harrison had
simply written his name, "Benjamin
Harrison," on the back of the check;
then that check becomes negotiable,
and could pass through the hands of
hundreds of different firms without
another indorser; but suppose it falls
into the hands of John Smith, who
comes to you to cash it. If you cash
it without having John Smith to write
his name on the check, and it proves
worthless, you have no recourse
whatever on John Smith; yet he is
the one whom you accommodated.
check payable "to cash" or "to
bcarcr'may also be transferred without
any endorsers; but for your own inter
est always require the party from whom
you receive a check, draft or note
to write his or her name on the back
of it.
When a check or draft proves worth
less, it generally takes the back track,
and goes back to the original drawer.
When such paper passes through your
hands on the back track, of course you
make it good to the person lowborn
you transferred it; but be careful to
erase your indorsement when you sur
render it to the party from whom you
received it.
Some people, when they go to in
dorse a note or check, write length
wise, crosswise, or any other way.
You should first (provided you are
right-handed) pick up the check in
your right hand, so as to read the
face, turn it over toward you, and in
dorse on the top of the back (or, we
might term it, the left end). By in
dorsing at the other end, you give a
great deal of trouble to bankers or
persons through whose hands it goes.
For instance, a person first takes a
check and reads the face, and then
turns it over toward himself; and, if
the endorser has signed the reverse
end, the person has to reverse ends in
order to see that it has been properly
indorsed. One check, of course, would
not give the banker much trouble;
but if one-half of the checks were^-in
dorsed in that way, in large banks
considerable time would be lo;;t. When
you deposit checks in ban ko, simply
write your name in blank, but always
write your name in one style.
Sight Drafts and Time Drafts.?
Thero is some difference in sight
drafts and time drafts. For instance,
you draw on Henderson Lumber Com
pany, Jefferson, Toxas, at thirty days'
sight. The time within which the
drawee is to pay r.his draft will not
begin to expire until it is presented
to, and accepted by, Henderson Lum
ber Company, and acceptance dated.
They would accept thus, "Accepted"
One of the mo9t encouraging features
of a cure made by S.S.S. (Swifts Specific)
is its permanency. Of all diseases, it is
well known that those of the blood are
the most obstinate, and therefore the
most difficult to cure. The medical
profession, in fact, have virtually ad
mitted that a real, deepseated blood
disease is beyond their skill.
Of course, their admission is not made
in so many words, but actions speak
f Duder than words, and their inability to
core, after months and often years of
treatment, is sufficient evidence that dis
eases of the blood cannot be cured by
doctors. Their mercurial mixtures,* al
though taken faithfully, only cover up
the symptoms of the disease, inducing
the patient to feel that he is being cured;
but when he is sooner o? later seized
with stiff joints, pain in the bones, etc.,
the evidence of the doctor's patchwork
is conclusive. Such results cannot be ex
pected from the use of S.' S. S. Being
purely vegetable, containing no harm
ful mineral ingredients, it is the only
blood remedy which acts on the true
principle of forcing the disease from
the system, building up rather than
tearing down the health. No loss of
hair, no stiff joints, no decrepit mercu
rial wrecks result from the use of S.S.S.'
Newark, N.J., made the mistake of re
lying upon remedies based upon mineral
ingredients, and for the hundreds of
dollars which he invested received only
disappointment in return. He says :
was afflicted with a terrible blood
disease, which was in spots at first, but
afterwards spread all over my body.
These soon broke out into sores, and it
is easy to imagine the suffering I en
dured.
"Before I became convinced that
the doctors could do no good I had
spent a hundred dollars, which was
really thrown away. I then tried vari
ous patent medicines, but they did not
reach the disease. When I had finished
my first bottle of S.S.S., I was greatly
improved and was delighted with the
result. The large red splotches on my
chest began to grow paler and smaller,
and before long disappeared entirely. ?
regained my lost weight, became strong
er, and my appetite greatly Improved.
I was soon entirely well, and my skin as
clear as a piece of glass."
S.S.S. is a sure cure for nil manner
of blood diseases, and disappoint ment
never results from its use. It is
Purely Vegetable
and one thousand dollars will be paid
for proof that it contains a particle of
mercury,potash,orothermineral. S.S.S.
is sold by all druggists.
Valuable books on blood and skin dis
eases will be mailed free to all who ad
dress Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga.
(give date), and sign "Henderson Lum
ber Company." The above is usually
written in red ink aoross the face of
the draft. Henderson Lumber Com
pany could specify where payable.
The time within which the drawee
is to pay the draft drawn at thirty
days after date would begin to expire
as soon as drawn; and, if not presented
until just a few days before it expires,
no change would be made in maturity.
Careful.?A person should be very
careful in drawing up notes in order
that no trouble may result in the fu
ture from carelessness. Sec that the
dates, amounts, signature and post
office arc plainly written, and that the
rate of interest is clearly expressed.
The post office address of each signer
should appear opposite his name on
the note. Have the note drawn paya
ble at a definite place; at a bank is
preferable.
Buying Real Estate.?When you
buy real estate, or loan money upon
it, have the title carefully examined
by vour attorney or by an abstractor.
Do not, without investigation, con
sider the title good because the prop
erty is owned by a well-known person.
Thousands of people are to-day in
charge of property their titles to which
are worthless, and occasionally some
realize the fact. You might be one of
the number.
Recorded.?Whcu you take deeds
and mortgages have them recorded
promptly. You must do so in order to
protect yourself from the creditors of
the person from whom you received
the deed or mortgage.
Your Signature.?Don't careless
ly leave your signature on blank paper
or where anything can be written
above it. The majority of business
men can appreciate this advice. Some
of them will not even write an auto
graph in an album, or write in such a
manner that their signature might be
fraudulently used. Many persons
have been required to pay notes which
they did not justly owe by leaving
their signature on blank paper, thus
affording a dishonest man the oppor
tunity to write the notes above their
signatures. In some cases checks
that were obtained by dishonest par
ties by the same plan have been cash
ed. Young men, in practing penman
ship, should bear this in mind.?
Youth1 ? Advocate.
Began to Talk When a Tfcek Old.
Few will believe it possible for a
three-months-old child to talk. How
ever, such is the case, and any one
can verify the truthfulness of this
statement with very little trouble.
The parents of the child are Richard
and Franki? Cleveland, colored, living
at 17 Short street, and the child has
been talking since it was one week
old. Hundreds have visited'the little
wonder and have left the house com
pletely mystified at what they have
seen and heard.
The child is a girl and differs only
from Other bat'es in that it can talk
as plainly and be understood as dis
tinctly as a grown person. The voice,
of course, is naturally weak, but has
none of the baby prattle about it. In
addition to the child's talking propen
sities it seems to be possessed of su
perior intelligence and gives voice to
utterances most astounding, coming as
they do from one so young.
The Rev. G. W. Martin, a colored
preacher who has a Church in the
vicinity, anda majority of"his flock
called at the house to convince them
selves of the truth of the rumors
which have been circulated concerning
the child. The little one seemed to
enjoy the presence of the crowd for
awhile, but, soon tiring, remarked to
its mother, in a voice audible to all
present : "1 wish all these folks
would go home, as I am tired." The
callers took the hint and soon depart

Murrell's Gang.
The "Jesse James" of the Missis
sippi and Missouri Rivers in the days
when stcamboating flourished was a
fellow named Murrell. His confeder
ates were known as "Murrell's Gang.'
This gang ras composed of outlaws,
pirates, escaped convicts and desper
ate highwaymen from all parts of the
world. The country was sparsely set
tled, rendering arrest difficult, and the
boundless prairies of the West and
impenetrable cancbrakes of the South
made the Mississippi Valley a verita
ble Klysian field for the successful
operation of outlaw bands.
Murrell, the chief of Murrell's
Gang, took pattern after Mike Fink,
Sam Gritty and "Colonel Plug," and
his depredations were as terrible and
far-reaching as any of the pioneers of
his profession.
Mark Twain, in his "Life on the
Mississippi," calls him a wholesale
rascal, to distinguish him from Jesse
James' retail rascally deeds. "What
are James and his half -dozen vulgar
rascals, compared to this stately old
criminal, with his sermons, his medi
tated insurrections and city captures
and his majestic following of ten
hundred men, sworn to do his evil
will?"
Murrell seems to have been a most
dexterous as well as a consummate
villain. When he travelled his
disguise was that of an itinerant
preacher, and it is said that his dis
courses were very soul-stirring, and so
interesting to hearers that they forgot
to look after their horses, which were
carried away by his confederates while
he was preaching. But Murrell's
most lucrative occupation was stealing
slaves, to sell them in another quar
ter. He had a peculiar way of man
aging that part of his business. One
of his men would tell a negro, for in
stance, to run away from his master
and allow him to sell him to another,
whereby he could secure half the mon
ey paid for him. Then the negro was
advised to run away the second time,
return to the gang, and be sent to a
free State by them, where he would
be safe. Many poor wretches com
plied with this request, hoping to ob
tain money and freedom. They would
be sold in this manner three or four
times, until the Murrells had realized
$3,000 or ?4,000 from the repeated
sale of one man. After this, for fear
of detection, the method would be to
get rid of the only witness against
them, which was the negro himself.
He was murdered and then his
body was thrown icto the Mississippi
River.
The general rendezvous of this gang
was on the Arkansas side of the river,
where they concealod their negroes in
the morasses and cancbrakes. Though
it was well known that Murrell was at
the head of this gang of outlaws, it
was difficult to obtain" proof against
him. A young man named Stewart
finally gained his confidence, turned
traitor and exposed the whole concern,
bringing home sufficient evidence
against Murrell to send him to the
penitentiary for 14 years.
It was found that a good many men
who bore respectable names in the sec
tions in which they lived were con
nected with Murrell's gang, and every
effort was made to discredit Stewart's
statements. He was obliged to
leave the Southern States in conse
quence.
One of the most daring deeds of the
notorious outlaw wa3 the rebellion he
incited in New Orleans, bis object be
ing to raise the blacks against the
whites, taking possession of the city
in the melee and plunder it at leisure.
The story is told by Captain E. W.
Gould, one of the oldest river cap
tains, now living in New York. Cap
tain Gould collected it from accounts
furnished by the nan Stewart, who
vouched for its correctness and declar
ed that it was told hi.u by Murrell him
self at the time he was in his confi
dence.

New Orleans," said Murrell, at one of
our friends' houses at that place. We
sat in council three days before we
got all our plans to our notion. We
then determined to undertake the re
bellion at all hazards, and made as
many friends as we could for that pur
pose. Every man's business was as
signed to him, and when all was ready
tho Bignal was given for the rebellion,
to break loose. The history of it is
well known. Suffice it to say that we
carried oil thousands of dollars in hor
ses, cattle and other movable property
and killed people without number,
who were in our way."
Another noted outlaw of the early
part of the century was Mason, the
highwayman of Natchez Trace, who
infested the canebrakes near Walnut
Hills, from where they boarded many
a boat, killing the crew and carrying
off the cargo.
The Silver Crisis.
The enormous and persistent decline
in the price of silver is everywhere
compelling attention.
Silver was worth about 83 cents an
ounce in June, 1893 ; it is now worth
only 56 cents, and the Director of the
Mint gives it as his opinion that a
fine ounce of silver will be worth not
more than 4 cents within the next
six months.
In Mexico?where the silver stand
ard prevails?this decline has sudden
ly put an end to business in imported
goods, including the large trade in
American-made machinery, farm im
plements and the like. The mer
chants, who must buy in gold and sell
for silver, paying an enormous price
for exchange, feel that the situation
is too uncertain for commerce to con
tinue. They have cancelled all their
orders and are simply waiting. This
means paralysis there and a heavy
loss to the manufacturers and mer
chants of all countries with which
Mexico trades.
The popular inquiry into the causes
of the decline is very eager. The
Butte City Miner and other journals
in that region contend that it is the
result of a conspiracy of "the money
power" to destroy the white metal.
They ignore the fact that the specu
lators whom they group together as
''the money power" are simply indi
vidual men engaged in making all the
money they can out of market chan
ges, whether up or down ; that for
every ' "bear crowd" seeking to depress
a price there is always a "bull crowd"
seeking to advance it, and that these
two "crowds" never act together. If
there were any conspiracy to depress
silver there would at once be a coun
ter-conspiracy to "bull" it. Wall
street speculators do not care the snap
of a finger whether tliey make money
by a rise or by ? f 11 in prices so long
as they make money.
There are precisely two factors that
determine the price of everything in
the t world. One of them is supply
and the other is demand. Supply is
influenced by cost of production.
Now, a3 to silver, the supply has
enormously increased by reason of a
reduced cost of production, and at the
same time the demand has enormously
fallen off. It is reckoned that most
of our rich mines can produce silver at
a profit for 35 cents an ounce, and
that some of the Mexican mines can
produce it at 24 cents an ounce.
The increase in supply has been
phenomenal and continuous. In 1875
there were produced in the whole
world about 02,000,000 ounces. By
1885 the production had increased to
91,000,000 ounces, and in 1895 it had
grown to the enormous figure of about
175,000,003 ounces.
With this increase in supply there
camo a great decrease in demand.
Germany adopted the gold standard.
The Latin Union ceased to coin silver.
The Indian mints, which coined $58,
000,000 worth of silver in 1890, ceased
to coin silver at all in 1893. The
United States Government, which had
purchased nearly 500.000,000 fine
ounces between 1873 ana 1893, ceased
at that time to purchase any silver at
all. China also has ceased to buy
silver, and Japan has gone actively
into the market to sell her great hoard
of silver for gold.
"While the supply has been thus
enormously increased and the demand
reduced to next to nothing, there have
been other menaces to the market
which have hastened the decline.
Chief among these is the fact that the
United States Government holds a
very mountain of silver bullion which
any Congress may order sold for what
ever it will bring. Here is in effect a
mine where the cost of production
counts for nothing and the possible
"output" is great enough to break the
market hopelessly. This bullion was
bought and hoarded for the sole pur
pose of sustaining the price of silver.
As a constant menace to the market it
has been a powerful factor in depress
ing that price.
The World is not talking politics in
this article. It is simply endeavor
ing to disclose the actual oauses of
that decline in silver which seriously
embarrasses all nations and threatens
the commerce of the world.
Some of these causes?the closing
of the French and Indian mints for
example?were consequences before
they were causes. They were steps
forced upon governments by a decline
in silver values which increased pro
duction had compelled. In their
turn, by diminishing demand, they
have powerfully aided in accelerating
that decline.
These appear to be the essential
facts and conditions.?Neio York
World, August 8, 1897.
Just in Ills Prime.
The following story is told of a
Virginia gentleman, rather advanced
in life, who was about to be united in
marriage to a lady very much his jun
ior. Going to make a visit just before
their wedding, hor old colored mammy
came courtesying into tho parlor eager
iiO make the acquaintance of the future
lord and master of her young lady.
"Wejl, AuntChloe," said the gentle:
man in question after the preliminary
greeting had been gone through with,
"what do you think of Miss Luoy's
choice, now you've seen him?" "I
likes you mighty well, Mas' John, fur
as I've seen you," replied Aunt Chloe,
after a moment's deliberation; "but
you's too old for Miss Lucy." "Too
old, Aunt Chloe !" exclaimed the gen
tleman, somewhat discomfitted by
Aunt Chloe's unexpected candor.
"You don't know what you are talking

Kock Hiu, August G.?An immense f
crowd braved therein to greetTillman at l
Tirzah to-day. The first speaker waa
Col. D'Arcy P. Duncan, whose exposition l
of the alliance principles was listened to <
Intently. t
Senator Tlllman and Governor Ellerbe
arrived at 10 o'clock and were loudly 1
cheered. Mr. Tlllman began to speak J
soon afterward with his accustomed fire
and vigor. He stated in the beginning |
that his firet political speech was made
near this spot 11 years ago. He then be
gan an elaborate defense of the dispen- t
eary law. lie fathered all responsibility ;
for the law ; he nursed it and held it up, ,
had etood by it, defended it against all '
the attacks in the courts, in the Darling
ton war, and is now standing by it in the
Senate. If hard work and faithful effort
can have influence, his bill (recently
defeated in the house) will yet paen con
gress.
He jumped on the preachers vigorously
for opposing the law because, as thoy
Buy, it Is a shame for the State to be sell
ing whiskey. They stand alongside the
barkeepers in tholropposition. The devil
ici at one end of the rope and the preach
?!? are at the other, trying to choke the
law to death. They have allied them
selves with Gonzales, llomphill, Simon
ton and the devil.
There was stealing in the dispensary
because of the divided responsibility, but
there was also dishonesty in other busi
ness enterprises.
He then defended Governor Ellerbo,
who was an honest man and truthful, and
has not gone to lying at this late day.
In regard to the metropolitan police,
Senator Tillman said two days after the
Legislature met in January he had a
friendly interview with Governor Ellerbe
and advised him not to remove the police
unless every member of the Charleston
city council would sign an agreement to
see the law enforced. The Governor said
he would not, and he did not think he
had turned out to bo a liar and a hypo
crite.
In reply to a question from W. H. Law
rence of Laurens, be said that he and Mr.
McLaurin bad voted alike on tariff issues.
He explained his bluffi regard to voting
with the Republicans.
Governor Ellerbe was then introduced,
and after vindicating himself in regard to
the metropolitan police, he denied tho
charges against him in regard to a com
bine to elect McLaurin. He would be a
candidate for re-election and would then
refute the charges against him.
Here there was a little pleasantry be
tween himself and Tillman. Tillman had
stated in Abbeville that he preferred to
remain in the Senate, but if Gonzales waa
to run the State, he would come home
and be elected Governor. Mr. Ellerbe
stated that there might be "a statesman
out of a job," for he would himself stand
for re-election.?Special to the State.
