Evans & Co, THE' SP?? CASH CLOTHIERS. WHITE FRONT. Nagging Collectors. Thai vicious habit ot nagging col lectors who present bills for settlement is much more prevalent in thc business world than is generally supposed. There are some unfortunate individuals who seem to bc incapable of paying a bill without indulging in some sneering and offensive remark, not always di : rect at the collector personally, but nevertheless offensive because intend ed for his principal in a mild so: I of backbiting fashion. Thc habit is not always thc evidence ol' ill-breeding, or low-breeding, or . of inherently de I praved nature. Some very 'good men i are often guilty of it, led into it by thoughtlessness and the force of ex ample, but oftener betrayed into it by irritability over some other matter that has vexed them. This lat ter cause is evidence of a deplorable infirmity of character, and no man should engage in buisiness who has not self-control enough to deal with every question on its own merits, and not to vent his spleen on one person to gratify his resentment against another. 'Such ?nen will never succeed in business, and do not deserve to succeed, and their efforts will ouly bring thom an antepast of hell upon this earth with a i fruition of it perhaps hereafter. "Collectors arc a very important part of the complicated mechanism of buisncss. They are generally young men who aro making their debut upon the stage of life. They have come into the business world from a social atmosphere of refinement and courtesy, and are naturally shocked and .some times perverted by exhibitions of bear ishness where they should find gen tility and manliness. Their intuitions are as quick as their sensibilities, and they rarely fail to size men up foi what they are worth. They arc the coming men of the mart, destined to bc mer chants, manufacturers, bankers, rail road managers, and princes in other I departments of the business world, and j they never forgot the first impression j you made on them, and that impression may cost you many a good turn before I you go over to the great majority. "Now there is another thing that should be remembered in this connec tion. The man that pays the collector's bill is tho man that has received the favor. According to any proper rule of business ethics, or common justice, he should have carried the money him self or sent it to his creditor. But when the creditor sends a polite and well-dressed young man to collect thc bill, especially after lie has previously delivered the goods at the debtors' door, it would seem to be a matter of the highest obligation on the debtor's part to put his heel firmly on whatever of the yaller dog that may be tugging at his nature, and to treat thc young gen tleman who is doing him thc favor to bring his account to him with marked consideration and respect. It is good policy, present and prospective, to do so. If you have a grievance, real or fancied, and if you must make an ex hibition of yourself, go and see the boss, and have it oat with him. Maybe he is the same sort of fellow you are, and then it will be Greek meet Greek. But remember that the. collector is a gentleman, and deserves consideration as such."-Petersburg ( Va.) Index. On tho Righi Line. li LU TO I? IXTKJJJGKXiJKij : Ithas been said that farmers know their business, and so far as ploughing and hoeing is roncerned they may- hut is that all, or isthat sufficient.' The man with one ounce, of brain would say no. It seems that the farmers have gone wild, and nothing can turn them. Poor fools, work, starve and sweat the Spring and Summer months through toland in thc penitentiary or chaingang for debt when Fall comes. [ believe if this state of affairs continues the poor house will have to bc greatly enlarged., the penitentiary will oven-How. and those who arc fortunate enough to es cape will have good roads to travel. I know of industrious men who were cast into prison last fall for debt. I know of men who AV i 11 not make the rent they promised this year. Now, what are they going to do.' I dont know, unless they leave their wives and children and gb and serve ont what their term will lie in thc chain gang to ho ready to start another crop when Spring comes. They say it is the cotton famine, and i think so my self, but what caused the famine, drought? No; it is thc very worst j famine that has ever befell thc human race-ignorance, and why arc wc such fools? If cotton was thc only plant we could raise we would have ground to be excused, but where are our grounds? I hear men talk about the buyer and the manufacturer, and say sharp things when they had no right to. If anybody were to offer us a fortune wc would be fools for not taking it. We hold out a fortune for them and say sharp things because they take it. Now. dear friends, why not have to cents foi' our cotton ? Those buyers and manufac turers arc not thieves and liars, who mean nothing hut to cheal, as many of thc light-headed farmers think. They see tho fortune and have nothing to do but pick it up. Now let us think about what wc are doing. East of thc Mis sissippi the dry weather is general, and west of it there have been Hoods. Now why sell your cotton for 5 cents when you can get double that. Let us awake, to a realization of our folly. I heard au experienced man not long ago say that if cotton were $1 per pound he would raise his hog and hominy at home. Now, why not all do thar, and wc conk! sell our cotton at a better price, but if we did not get but 24 cents per pound we would be in a real good fix. Yours truly, [RA L. PltKKMAX. There is more Cat.rrli in ibis section of thc country than all other diseases put together, ?ind until the last few years waa supposed to he incur able. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treat ment, pronounced it incurable. Science has pror co catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co. Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cute on th;; market. It is taken internally In doses from lu drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of tho system.

At a regular communication of Hiram Lodge. Ko. <?s, A. F. M., held Sept. 4, 180.0, the following, committee report ?was received and unanimously adopted : To tiie Worhipful Master. Wardens, and members of Hiram hodge No. <;s. A. F. M. : Brethren: Your committee appointed to prepare suitable resolutions on the death of R. W. Bro. Thomas K. Hill sub mit thc !'ol?OWilig: In the prime of iife he was cut down; at the lloodude of manhood he was taken. Ves. when his usefulness in the various spheres of life was becoming more and more apparent, the Grand Ar tificer laid upon him lu's unerring hand and bade him cease his labors; and on a peaceful Sabbath., the Oth day of July. 1S00. in thc 4.'!rd year of his life, the noble spirit of Capt. Thomas Foster Hill took its eternal Hight to that '.undiscov ered country from whose bourne no trav eler ever returns.1' Bro. Hill had been a member of Hiram Lodge since May 11th, 1S88. a period of eleven years, during which time he had lilied most of thc offices of the Lodge and had served thc Lod^o thrice as Wor shipful Master. In 1S05 he was appointed District Deputy Grand Master of the 1st Masonic District of South Carolina, com prising the counties of Pickens, Oconee. Abbeville and Anderson. Again inl8i>7, when the Masonic territory was re-dis tricted, he was appointed District Deputy Grand Master for the 7ch Masonic. Dis trict of South Carolina, embracing only the county of Anderson, which position ho held at thetime of his death. Now. while we bow with humble sub mission to the will of the Ureat Architect of the Universe, we mourn the loss of so good a man as our deceased brother; and, though not permitted here to enu merate his excellent traits, we deem it Utting to pay this last tribute to his memory ; therefore be it | Resolved, That in his death Hi rani Lodge has lost one of its most useful members: Masonry one of its chief sup-; ports; the church one of its most earnest. advocates: the community at large a ! friend, and the State and County a valua- . ble citizen. Resolved, That we hereby pay tribute j to his high character, his integrity, his devotion to duty, his love for Masonry; ) and above all, his strict adherence to its j principles as evidenced in his daily life | which was e ?-er srpiared by the square of ? virtue and morality. Resolved, That his noble life is en shrined in our memories and that we | will ever cherish it with reverence and i affection, that a blank page in our min- ; ute book be dedicated to him, that the j secretary be instructed to spread these resolutions upon record and to transmit a copy to the secretary of the Grand Lodge and to the family of the deceased, and also to furnish a copy to each of the epunty papers for publication.

EASE, COMFORT, We will give away Free a large m trial sample of That Wheezin; Rattling Cough, A_nd that Terrible Struggle For Breath ! For the next Ten Day?. The Sample contains as much or more than1 you get of other ASTHMA CURES for 25c. CURES HAY FEVER and that condition of the system upon which Asthma really depends. SOME OF THE SYMPTOMS OF ASTHMA-Extreme difficulty of breathing, which is worse at certain seasons Of the year and at particular periods of the day, being generally worse at night. The difficulty of breathing is increased by violent emotions, damp atmosphere, excess of any kind, strong exercise, running or ascending a flight of stairs. It is also more laborious in a horizontal, position, and hence more distress is felt at night when in Oed. The warmth of the bed also has a strong influence on the disease. The patient seeks relief by sitting upright in bed or bending the body forward and endeavoring to expand the chest mechanically by every possible means. In SPASMODIC ASTHMA the nerves are deeply implicated, their action seem defective in the respiratory organs. In both cases the difficulty is increased by physical.or mental excitement, and may endanger life if precautions are neglected. Attacks of Spasmodic Asthma generally occur during the first sleep, soon after midnight, when sleep is most sound, or early in the morning. The patient suddenly awakes with a sense of suffocation, tightness of the chest and difficulty of breathing. The respiration is wheezing and laborious, the shoulders are raised and every effort made to enlarge the chest. The pulse is quiok, weak and irregular, the lower extremities are cold. WHEN COUGH and EXPECTORATION come on or can be brought on, the patient is relieved. The spasm may continue half an hour or more, or even three or four hours, unless you use WILHITE'S ASTHMA CURE. Asthma, Bronchitis and Bronchial Catarrh are closely related, and a person suffering with Bronchitis is almost sure to have Asthma sooner or later, unless the cause is removed.
