TM MANN hTG TOMS. Ma,"_3izig, 5i. C. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, October 3,1888. The fall of the year has arrived. The crests of the forests are ripening into "the sear, the yellow leaf;" the sprays of the plains are reddening with the tints of shivering sheaves. The fields that were green and beau tiful but yesterday are fleecy and fros ty to-day; to-morrow they'll be black ened by the hand of the harvesting reaper. Winter is almost upon us, and not a house in the land but will have to be supplied with some neces sary article of merchandise. The manager of our advertising depart ment has exerted himself in procuring the advertisements of the most relia ble mercantile establishments of ad joining towns and cities, as well as those at home, and in our columns you may read what they have to say. Think of what you need and expect to buy, examine our columns and se lect the house you wish to deal with, and if you cannot visit the stores yourselves, send your orders, and you will be promptly supplied with the goods you need, or send for samples fom which you can make your selec tions. No doubt you have often ask ed why so many merchants advertise in the MamuNG Tnms? We answer, because nearly everybody subscribes toit, "Well, why do so many take it?" Because it gives the news. Then do you want the news? if so, subscribe at once to the MAnuSG Tms. But you say, "I already subscribe to it." Then get twelve of your friends to do so, and we will present you with a brand new $12 dictionary; or for twenty-five subscribers, with one of the best and most beautiful sewing manen on the market. When a man walks into our office, with a long piece of manuscript in his hand, and vengeance in his eye, with the broad and loud assertion that he has an article he wishes pub lished, and intends to have it pub limbed, and doesn't care what it costs, and he wll send it to the News and Cowier if we do not publish it, we generally sine up that man at once, as anxious, yes, very anxious, to get his article published, but unwilling, altogether unwilling, to pay for it. In an experience of six years of jour alsm, we have had a number of such and always, invariably, with thW-ohlowing result: We generally ask thu gentleman to give us a hear ing, and tehlhim that if he has any thing to publish, unless it is immoral in its character, that we will publish it; thatif it is of public character, and'such as we think will interest our readers, we will publish for nothing and with pleasure. But, if it is of a personal nature and calculated spec iafly to further the individual inter esta of the gentleman, we will charge him for it; and if it is more personal in iisnature than we like, that we wlfl charge him double rates. We then read the article, tell the gentle man what it will cost, ten, fiteen, twenty, or twenty-five dollars, as the ease may be. Anx expansion of eyes, a fallen countenance, a look of con tempt that we should have deigned to charge for it, is the result. The price was too much! He was not wiling to pay that sum, although it was such as we charge any one for ordinary business. The gen tieman after finding he cannot dead head his article, seeks some other of fice, where possibly he may find an editor too timid to refuse so modest a request but generally the article never sees light through a newspaper. We never yet have had to publish any such articles and we are glad of it By instructions of the executive committee of~ the Republican party in the State, Swails, Brayton, Miller, and acme "sich" others of the G. 0. P., addressed, last week, a communica tion to Gov.. Richardson, charging that a free vote and honest count was supresedand aking that one Re publican manager of elections be -ap pointed at each voting precinct. Governor Richardson replied tha our elections now, under the present wise laws, were quite in contrast to the evil and corrupt practices, once so dominant in this State, and of the disgraceful scenes and unscrupulous manipulations of Radical elections. Now every man quietly anid freely casts his ballot, in peace and without fear. Therefore he does not think it proper to take the management, whol ly or in part, of our elections from the hands of good and true men, and give itinto the hands of a class that in intelligence are vastly inferior; es pecia~y, too, since in this State there is a Republican party, only in name. Governor Richardson's reply was good and timely. By an unintentional oversight we omitted to mention last week that our talented young friend, Mr. J. Harry Lesesne, has retired from the editori al chair, on the Enterprise. He will devote his time specially to the study of law. The Republicans had a large politi cal meeting in Sumter last Saturday. They will make a desperate effort to capture the 7th district this year, but the better element of the white and colored citizens of that district are so well pleased with the able and impar tial manner in which Col. Elliott serves them in Congress, that they will send him back, with a bigger majority than ever. The delegates to the judicial con vention leave for Georgetown to morrow. We hope that body will make a nomination before adjourning. Men are sent there to act for the peo ple, and the people demand a nomi nation at the hands of this convention. Will the delegates sit there, and bal lot like dummies for the interest of their individual preferences and to the irreparable injury of the Demo cratic party? or will they rise in their wisdom above self and friends, and for the good of the whole State either nominate one of the threo* candidates (any one of whom would make a good solicitor), or select some outside man worthy of being sought for the posi tion? Let us wait and see. WHATAILS THE NATION? The Average Length of Life Ds creasing-Not restilence-a N ot Famine-All our -- - own Fault. MoDN COOKING AND Mon ERN LIvn G have brought it on. It comes upon us una wares. ', The patients have pains about the chest and sides, and sometimes in the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has a bad taste, especi ally in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite is poor. There is a feeling like a heavy load on the stomach; sometimes a faint, all-gone sensation at the pit of the stomach which food does not satisfy. - The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become cold and feel clammy. s' After a while a cough sets in, at first dry, but after a few months it is at tended with a greenish colored expectoration. ,The patient feels tired all the while, and sleep does not seem to afford any rest After a time he be comes nervous, irritable~and gloomy, and has evil forebod ings. A There is a giddiness, a sort of whirling eensation' in th'e head when rising upesud denly. - The bowels become costive;' the skin is dry and hotat times; the blood becomes thick and stagnant; the whites of the eyes become tinged with yellow; the kidney secretions becomes scanty and igh col ored, y depositing a sedient after standing. There is fre-. quently a spitting up of the food, sometimes with a sour taste and sometimes with a sweetish taste; this is fre quently attended with palpi tation of the heart and Asth matic symptoms; the vision be comes impaired, with spots be fore the eyes; there is a feel ing of great prostration and weakness. t All of these symp toms are in turn present. It is thought that nearly one-half of our population dias this dis ease in someof its varied forms. Shaker Extract of Roots (Sei gel's Syrup) changes the fer ments of the Digestive organs so asto convert the foodweeat into a form that will give nourish ment to the feeble body, and good health is the consequence. 'The effect of this remedy is simply marvelous. rv Millions upon millions of bottles have been sold in this country, and the testimonials in favor of its curative- powers are over whelming. Hundreds of so called diseases under various names are the result of indi gestion, and when this one trouble is removed the other diseases vanish, for they are but symptoms it of &athe redl malady. Testimonials from thouasand: of people speaking highly of its curative properes prove this beyond a doubtv Sold by Out of the Breastworks. -0 TATE SPINss, Tenn., July 4,1888. The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga.: Gentlemen: Inclosed please find an order for six bottles of your most valuable medicine. And in sending this order let me tell you why I do so. Seven years ago I contracted an exceedingly bad case of blood poi son. I tried a physician, the best at command, but secured no benefit. My throat began to get sore, and my body covered with sores and ulcers. Going from bad to worse, I felt that my grave must be reached in the near future. I gave up the doctors treatment and with a despairing hope I commenced taking your medicine. I began to improve from the first bot tie, and in a short time the ulcers healed and my skin cleared off and was entirely well. One year ago a case of catarrh developed in my sys tem. The. physician done his best, but could not cure me; but two bot tles of Swift's Specific gave me per manent relief. JH. RoBINSON. Treatise on Blood and Skin Dis eases mailed free. Tim Svwr SPECmIC Co., Drawer 3, Atlanta, Ga. The Sumter Advance says: Other cities can boast of whatever they please, but when it conies to young "bloods" putting on a relative amount of "style" to the square inch, in proportion to the size of their "pile," Sumter is certainly ahead of any place we know of. When it comes to ugly men and pretty pretty women Samtcr is also hard to down. INDISPENSAB3LE TO TIAE TOILET.
