THE IANNIW TIMES, S. A. NETTLES, Edito'r WEDNESDAY, JULY 18, 1888. Mr. James E. Davis attended a meeting at Lanes yesterday to ap. point the time and place- for holding the -judicial convention, Pawley's Island has been selected as the place, and July 30th as the time. Marlboro held a county convention last Monday, and elected delegates tc State, congressional, and judicial con 'entions. E H. Newton was en dorsed for Congress, and primary for congressional nomination was recom mended, There will as usual be no straight. -out fight in Georgetown this year, But by acompromise- the Democrats R get-the senator; one representa live, sheriff,: clerk of court, and two county commissioners. The Repub icans wil get ope representative, pro bata judge, school commi oner, cor ne, and one county commissioner. A county commissioner's pay will mot average $200 a year including his mileage, and yet so many men are wil ling to neglect their farms for the "small pay. It's a poor business; The ;pay is very small, yet a county cor missioner should be a shrewd, honest, carnful, straightforward, intelligent man, experienced in business matters. Tha's the kind of a man he ought to be, but in some counties the idea neems to prevail that any fellow that int good for any thing else will make a county commissioner. No man who is afailure in the management of iMs own business should be entrusted with the management of the county's Democratie Executive Committee. The Democratic Executive Com mittee met in the court house last Monday, and was called to order by County Chairman James E. Davis, who stated the object of the meeting. After-some-diseassion it was decid edrto have the first primary August 14th, and. the second primary three ib~al' , Srep- 4th. The rules and regulations of 1886-were adopted. ., A .motion was' carried that each club be assessed facents per mem .ber;to bepaid beiae the day of the first primary. An assessment was 'ade on. each candidate, as follows : coroner, 50 cents;-county commission .ed', $1.50; probate- judge, $2.00; all ther candidates $5.00,-to be paid Wlien they Ele-their pledges. Boxes are to be-furnished the man g of eleciian of the different clubs. a elub is reqpTested to meet at n'>e, and seleeb three snitable persons or managerseof the primary elections, $nato send their names to the coun ty ohairman oa er before July 30th. It was moved and carried that eight 'mpaign meetigs be held' before 'e primary.

He says the price paid was $7,500 in cash, all ex penses in Chicago, and their expenses both ways. Alger's boodle was ample and flowed -very freely. The result was all the South. eredelegates, or at least fifty of them,..have cemehwme flush with greenbacks. e The-latest about Gen. Sheridan is that he actually died once but was brought to life ' y-the-matchless human skill of his ycians:: It was on the afternoon ol hursday, Jdne 7. A hemorrhage of th' stomach had been followed by ahemorrhage of the bowels.-. There was no pulse, no re spiration. The firm jaw had dropped, the eyres were wide open and glazed and the hands were cold ass ice. Father Chapelle turned from the bedside and said: "All is over," and then passed sadly from the room. Mrs. Sheridan sobbed--in prayer for the dead hero's final rest. Suddenly Dr. Orel, 17 discovered that the heart began to beat af ter five minutes of inaction, the proper aids were applied and the General soon1 gres Bonds in the Penitentiarys CoiLau, July 18.-I went down' to the Stone Hotel on the Congaree this morning to see how the members of the "Corpse Trust" are getting along. They are not bobbing up very serenely. And no wonder ! When a man passes under the iron rod of the law, and its ponderous gates close after him, while he is thrust into the company of the scum of the earth, he leaves hope be hind. "Minds innocent and quiet" may take stone walls and iron bars for a hermit age, but the felon quails under the ordeal. Scarcely a man passes the portals of the states's great convict asylum who is not robbed of his manhood, and who does nut soon realize the terrible nature of this great est of ostracisms: The "resurrection society" arose this mtn ing, in company with the other convicts, at 6 o'clock.- They were sent to take a; bath and to put on the stripes, which now mark them as the sons of crime. After this they were shaved by the penitentiary barber, and had their hair cut. The heavy beard of the elder Bond was cut, acid he parted with it reluctantly. Captaixi Sligh talked with them and gave them to :der stand that, there was no punishment for their past sins, nor no reward for their vir tues, but that they were, from the instant they entered the penitentiary, n:a par with the other violators of the' law. He said that no favors were to be shown them, and that they need not expect to be made book-keepers. I found John H. Bond washing shoe lin ing in Dibert's factory, and his sons were cutting leather, while L. M. Shafer was "rounding heels." B. E. Ir Shafer was in the hospital, where he is nursing. Mat thews has not yet been assigned.- Each of the gang occupies a separate celi-Charks ton World. (rape Culture in Kingstree. KINGSTREE, July 13.-That South Caroli na agriculturists have too long atdhered to cotton planting (and that alone,- is a fact too apparent to any deliberate' observer); that they are now realizing their mistake, and endeavoring to retrieve their former losses, can be seen in almost any county of the State. A notable instance of' this latter case is to be found in Kingstree.- Prof. Nat Allen, a man whose cultivated talents gave him the insight that has prove his bonan za, realized some time since that the plant ing his land in cotton was a- waste of time and money. He planted- a' vineyard of seven acres, instead of actbton crop. His success willbe understood-when it is known that his last week's shinments to the New York and Baltimore niaskets of this luscious fruit amounted to seven hundred pounds. This vineyard is at beautiful place. The varieties planted are'the 'Perkins." "Cham pion," "Delaware." and "lye's Seedling." Professor Allen thinks that with his well drained lands he will show the people of Carolina that the soil- iiwell adapted to grape culture. So far-hu has certainly suc ceeded. o4 4Il04, The Best We Have Ever Had. Col. A. K. McClure, editor of the Phila delphia Times, was 'interviewed by a re porter of the Denver-News some days ago. Uere is what he said-about President Cleve land. "The faeV is'that Mr. Cleveland isa great er man then-his party.' InstAad of leading him, he doesthe leading. I thins: he is the best President 'we have ever had, as strong and substantial as any man could be. He doesn't fear the partyand, on the contrary, it fears him, and so they have let him lead He maps oughis policy and the leaders of Democracy adhere- to his principles. He permits ne man to dictate to him, and when once he has madeup his mind that a thing is right, no man can enange it. Don't con struemy meaning. to be that he is obstinate, but simpl' thhtthe is firm after convincing himself that'the send he assumes is justi fied by ciscumstinces and facts. He does not posess fe magnetism or personal pop nlarity of ML Blaine, but he has that stabil ity which recommends him to business men. They-know that his administration is not as bri~iant as that which possibly Mr. Blaine woua give us; they also know thatthereiting erratic or loose about it. I regard his first term as being a con servative and sabstantial one, free from signs of weakness, and beneficial to the country atilatge. He is not governed by party demaneW and does D ot permit them I, interfere'A~th what he regards to be his dty. Mr. Thorman will add strength to the ticket,0she is anable statenan and a man of good sound principle." Dorn With a Bastle. The Asihtill'e, N.

In ddition -toeall this, a fully defined bustle, natural ssa bustle can be, was also discov ered 'on that portion of the body where ai bustls is'supposed to be worn by all well regulated' and fashonable females. This bustle formation is like unto the famous Goodrich rubber patent and is not the re sult of deformity.

But do we all know that we die by eating 1 It is said we dig our graves with our teeth. How foolish this sounds. Yet it is fearfully true. We are ter rified at the approach of the cholera and yellow fever, yet there is a dis ease constantly at our doors and in our houses far more dangerous and destructive. Most people have in their own stomachs a poison, more slow, buit quite as fatal as the germs of those maladies which sweep men into eternity by thousands without warning in the times of great epi demies. But it is 'a mercy that, if we are watchful, we can tell when we are threatened.- The following are among the symtoms, yet they do not always necessarily appear in the same order, nor a-e they always the same in different cases. There is a dull and sleepy feeling; a bad taste in the mouth, especially in the morning;' the appetite- is' change able, sometimes poor and again. it seems as-though the patient could notreat enough, and occasionally no appetite at- all; dullness and 'slug gishnesa of the mind; no ambition to study or work; more or less head ache and .heaviness in the head; dizziness on*rising to the feet or moving suddenly; furred and coat ed tongue;- sense of a load on the stoahthat'nothing removes; hot and dry skin at times; yellow tinge in the eyes se'anty and high-colored urine; sout taste in the mouth, fre quently attended by palpitation of the heart ; impaired vision, with spots that seem to be swimming in the air before the eyes; a cough, with a greenish-colored expecto ration; poor nights' rest; a sticky slime about.>the teeth and gums; hands and feet cold and clammy; irritable temper and bowels bound up and costive. This disease Has puzzled the physicians and still pur zles them. It is the commonest di ailments and yet the most compli cated and mysterious. Sometimes it is treated as consumption, some times as liver complaint,, and then agin as malaria and even heart dis ease. But its real nature is that of constipationanddyspepsia. It arises ize the digestive organs and soon atects all the others through the corrupted and poisoned blood. Often the whole body-including the nervous system-is literaiy starved, even when there is zio emaciation to tell the sad story. .Experience has shown'that thereis put one remedy that can certainly cure this disease in all its stages, namely, Shaker Extract of Roots or Mother Seigel's-Curative Syrup. It never fails'but,-nevertheless, no time shouldt be'losti in trying other so called remedies, for they will do no good. Get this- great vegetable preparation.
