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 ed.?ATashville Banner. ? No matter how wealthy a man may be, let him give away a cent and he becomes a penny-less man._ 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 about," (straightening himself up), "Why, I'm just in my prime." "Yes, I sees you is," replied tho still uncon vinced Aunt Chloe; "but when Mise Lucy gits in her prime, whar you gwine be den." ?

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. ?
