Man neJ-, B.C. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. EIIESAY, FEIDUART6,1889. Rudolph, crown prince of Austria, either committed suicide or was mur dered last week. He was shot through dhe ewd, and a pistol was found lying sear him, in his bed. His death will have no political af~c-t on any Eu ropean government, James Gordon Bennett, like Alex :-ader the Great, sighs for new worlds - to conquer. Not satisfied with hav ing the best newspaper in the United States, and a European edition of the same published in Paris, he is now about to invest half a million. in the " on of a daily newspaper in swnn which, it is said, will be knowa by the distinctive title of The Adercan Kettwpaper. That it will be . a suaes would seem, judging from s* perience, to be a foregone con Wli of Radicslinfamous noto - *ety, for several years past, been probate judge of Beaufort county, but - at the last election was defeated.

Judge Aldrich ammoned him before him to show cnuse why he should not turn the of See over, and ordered him to vacate. 'his Whipper refused to do, and in consequence was lodged in jail, where ethina he is posig as a martyr. It s very probable he will pose there for somoe time. In recent correspondence of the .eas and Courier it was stated that the allied farmers of Wilkinsville in Union County are "going on the cash bsic" They have already raised the momey amongst themselves to pur -hese-their main supplies. The ten -: fe of the Alliance, it is said, is "to the farmers up to a cash basis," and the Wilkinsville farmers have an ticipatedresults byplacing themselves en that basis at the outset. The wis don of their policy and practice can -t be doubted, and need not be ex The correspondent covers whole ground in a sentence: When aman has the ready cash in '4is'pocket, he is a pretty good Alli -me within himself." He wil al 'wys be able to buy whatever he seeds at the very lowest market price. e will always have plenty of friends, and feirenemies. High rates of in terest will cause him no loss of sleep or waste of labor. On commenting this, the News and. Courier says, branch of the order hs i vered one of the first princi pies of succeso in farming, and its .members at last have their feet set in ~the furrow that leads to independence and prosperity. But in the same correspondence that tells of the business sagacity of the Wilkinsville farmers, in adopting the plan of cash purchases, it is stated tht"they-have ordered a carload of ~corn and will buy theirflour and ba een omon the same liberal terms. This ideplorable. There is no reason Why an~y Farmers' Alliance in our State should have to buy corn and four 'bacon by the car-load at tis of the year. There has 'been a serious error of management .omewhere~when-any farmer is com pelled to buy, for cash or otherwise, What he should produce, and can pro Sduos, on his own farm. He is not on a~eamh basis," by any means, when hissaa purse is full and his big a1 s-.:are empty. As has been al Szealy-stated in these columns, the couras which the Wilkinaville farm ers are endeavoring to pursue, is such a course as we believe will bring to Sthe farmers in South Carolina such secas-as they have not known in the scent past; and though the change must came gradually it certainly will come to all intelligent farmers sooner *er later. Our most successful farm -en, those most independent among us, are such as have by their industry an economy been enabled to - pay and continue paying their current ex penses. Any farmer who can live on a "tuedit basis," can grow rich on a "esabania"' Farmers who live on ~eredit.knew it does not- pay - and .are ansions to ehange,..and all who have -the desise, the real desire, for the abange-an make it in two or three es but the course must be plan-. ned adir thought and deliberation, and the steps taken one by one.

The attention of our readers is called to the following prominent business houses: HONEST DEALING I1SREs SUCCESS. About a year ago one of our most promis ing young men located in an adjoining county,-and opened a large store. He at once inserted his advertisement in the TIMns, and very soon there was a rush to his place of business. By honest dealing and low prices he made an advertising medium of every customer who dealt with him, and a continual flow of trade has marked his bus iness with success. Now he is one of the leading merchants of his newly adopted county, and no where in the State can you get better bargains, or find a neater or more tastily selec stock of goods than at the store of F.

Pocotaligo. %winter Advnce.] Most of my readers, I presume, have heard the amusing story which claims to give the origin of the word "Pocotaligo." .There are doubtless several different versions of this story, which in substance is about as follows: A man had a balky mule or ox which he was trying to drive, the animal wouldn't go; some one handed him a stick and remarked: "Here, poke-he-tail-he-o," or literally "poke his tail and he will go. From this incident it is said Pocotaligo was named. This story as doubtless started as a joke, for Pocotal igo is unquestionably an Indian name. It is an interesting faict that there are two streams in South Carolina named Pocotaligo. One of them is Pocotaligo River, in the outhwestern portion of the State. This ocotaligo is mentioned in that stirring lonial romance-"The Yemassee"-by William Gilmore Simams. The other stream bearing this name is generally just called Pocotaligo. It is a river in size and is form d by the union of other streams in this cunty; for a part of the way it is the; oundary between Privateer and Sumter ownhips, also between Privateer and CoD sord townships, and it flows down into Clarendon county. Mr. Albert 5. Glatschet in volume first of his "Migration Legend of the Creek Indians" gives a carefully prepar ed and thoughtful ethnographical sketch of the Yaznmass (Yamassee) -Indians. Men tioning their town-Pocotaligo-he tells us this in a foot-note: "Gallatin, Synopsis, page 84, recalls the circumstance that Poketalico is also the name ot a tributary of the Great Kanawha river. This seems to point ton a oreigh origin of that name."' In i letter to the writer of these lines, Mr. Gatschet says "Pocotaligo contains tahigo,; which appears to be identical with Telhco ad Tahlequah, and in that case would b.y a' Cherokee name, though hitherto unexplain ed. Don't know what Poco would be in that language." It may be remarked here that Mr. Gatschet's knowledge of the Indian language is probably more comprehensive' than that of any other living writer. Although Privateer has an area of 46 square miles and abounds in branches and swamps Pocotaligo, so far as the writer knows, is the only Indian name now connected with the township, which, as I mentioned in a former article, is the only piece of terrntory in the world that bears the name of Priva teer, and it seems to be in accordance with the fitness of things that the township should be bounded by a stream whose name is very unique in sound and exceedingly are. MCDo~a.D FURnNa. Privateer Township, Jan. 16th, 1889J. Died. Mr. Spiser Green, son of Mr. Irvine Green, of the New Ziou neighborhood, died in Darlington last Thursday night. Ty ori pneumonia was the cause of his Ms. Mary B. Trescott, wife of Mr. Geo, F. Trescott, of this place, died at the resi dence of her son, Mr. W. H. Trescott, last Wednesday, Jan.. 30th,. in the sixty-fif th year of her age. Mrs. Tresceott was stricken with paralysis the day before her death. Mr. Frank J. O'Connor died yesterday af ternoon. after a painful illness, with pneu monia, lasting two weeks. Mr. O'Connor was a native of Sumter, and was in his thirty-first year at the time of his death. He was a prosperous merehant, as was his fath er, John O'Connor, many years ago. His death leaves no one of his name and family in the city, except his step-mother. Mr. O'Connor was a nephew of the late William Bogin, whose children, as well as ti e mem bers of the Monaghan family, are his first cousins.-Sumter Watchman Jan. 30th. One of the Corpse Trust a Corpse. Dr. L. M. Shaffer, of the Corpse Trust notoriety, died at the Penitentiary Tuesday morning. Jan. 29th, at about half-past & oclock. Dr. Shaffer when received at the prison gave his age as 55, but his personal appearance warranted the opinion that he might be 70. He had beeai a great sufferer from rheumatism, which had aged him very much, and after his incarceration he failed rapidly, for the last two or three months being quite feeble. The immediate cause of death was heart disease, secondary to rheir matism. He will be buried for the present in the prison graveyard, but his son, who was with him and whose time will expire about next December. has been granted per mission to have the body removed as soon as he gets out, in fact this permission is cheerfully granted to the friends of any per-I Murderers Caught. FwRacE, Jan. 31.--Two men, both col ored, were arrested here at 4.10 P. M. upon a telegram received to-day by the town author ities from Sheriff McEachem, of Robeson county, N. C. They are held for a murder committed near Lumberton yesterday. They boarded the train at Rowland's Mill, a sta tion on the Florence railroad, and were ar rested upon the arrival of the train. They are supposed from appearances to belong to the notorious Lowry gang. Policeman R. J. Henson made the arrest, assisted by P. E. Hatchenr. The officers are satisfied they have the right men. Suggestion for Judge Lynch. We are not in favor of lynch law, but if Judge Lynch will insist on holding court, we would suggest when juries acquit of the charge of murder,-(when the evidence un mistakably supports the charge,-) that the Jury Commissioner be taken care of and treated as he deserves to be. If a few Jury Commissioners were hanged in place of the criminals where juries they may have arranged to acquit, and if we had more such Sheriffs as they have in Birming hia,:, Judge Lynch would not find it neces s.,ry to take care of guilty men. If one or two Jury Commissioners were hanged on palpable eviance of having tam pered with the juries which are to try mur derers, the cfect would be beneficial to the peace and dignity of the State. Tue attention of Judge Lynch is directed to the Jury Commission who may be in need of his attention. A little wholesome hang ing of Jury Commissioners might ensure the future conviction of notoriously guilty men.-Abbeville Press and Banner. BUCKLEN'S ARNICA SALVE.

The town of Darlington had a S0000 fire on the morning of the 30th nlt. Floyd's store, the express office, C. W. Hewitt's stables, the county jail, and a small house of B. W. Ed wards, were the buildings destroyed. They were insured for about twvo-thirds their esti mated value. The prisoners in the jail, twenty-one in number, were taken out and put in the guard house. Garden seed, fresh and genuine, just re ceived at Dinkins & Co.'s drug store. A New County. The Charleston Sun says a meeting of prominent citizens of Berkeley county was held recently at Monek's Corner to discuss the division of Berkeley into two counties. The proposed county would embrace the parishes of St. Stephens, St. Johns, Berke ley, and so much of the parish of St. James' Goose Creek as lies north of a line drawn from the junction of the eastern and wes tern branches of the Cooper river to the south-east limit of the town of Summerville lying in Berkely county. Under this sub division the new county would have about 1,000 square miles, leaving something over that area in the county of Berkeley. It was resolved that should other sections of the proposed county agree with the opinions herein expressed, Messrs. G. W. Avinger and J. Calhoun Cain be ap)ointed to rep resent middle and lower St. John's Berke ley in an executive commnittee of three from each of the parishes concerned, which is instructed to ogitate among the people eand advocate before the committcc or the Legis ature the formation of the new county. EPOCH. The transition from long, lingering and painful sickness to robust health, marks an poch in the life of the individual. Such a remarkable event is treasured in the memo y and the agency whereby the good health as been attained is gratefully blessed. Eence it is that so much is heaird in praise f Electric Bitters. So many feel they owe their restoration to health, to the use of the reat Alterative r~nd Tonic. If you are roubled with any disease of Kidneys, Liv r or Stomach, of long or short standing you will surely find relief by use of Electric Bit ers.

His liabilities are $22,308. His assets are aibout $10,000. He has issued a circular letter to his unsecured :reditors, making a full statement of his afairs. Mr. Weinberg requests an extension f time for the interest of himuself and cred itors, or offers 401 per cent. cash, or 25 per ent, now and 25 per cent. payable in the fall, as a compromise. His friends hope he an arrange the matter satisfactorily to him self and his creditors. Red and white onion sets at Dinkins & Co.'s drug store. ( XMts and Courier.] The Temperance Convention. The sixth annuald convention of the Wo man's Christian Temperance Un ion of South Carolina will be held in Charleston on Feb. rary 22. It is expected that delegates will be present from all patrts of thje State, and the proceedings of the body will doubtless be characterized by great harmoiny and be attended by good results. As Burke says: "Our physie-dl well-being, our moral worth, ur social happiness, our political tranquil lity, all depend on that control of our appe tites and passions which the ancients de siged by the cardinal virtue of temperance." It is for these ends that the Woman's Christian Tem-peranc Union is striving, or, as it is sententiously expressed in the motto of the organization, it is working "For God, and Home,.and M.ive Land." The Union, steering clear of political alliances, and tepeing its zeal with tempera!'ee, has al ready accomplished a splendid work. The conservatism ot its course in the past is the best guarantee that could be given of the wisdom of its policy in the future. THEIR BUSINESS BOMING. Probably no one thing has caused such a' general revival of trade at Dinkins & Co.'s Drg Store as their giving away to their customers of so many free trial bottles of Dr. Kings New Discove-ry for Consumption.

All honest, conscientious physicians who give B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm) a trial, frankly admit its superiority over ALL other blood medicines. Dr. W. J. Adair, Rockmart, Ga., writes: "I regard B. B. B. as one of the best blood medicines." Dr. A. H. Roscoe, Nashville, Tenn.. writes: "All reports of B. B. B. are favorable, and its speedy action is truly wonderful." Dr. J. W. Rhodes, Crawfordsville, Ga., writes: "I confess B. B. B. is the best and quickest medicine for rheumatism I have ever tried." Dr. S. -J. Farmer, Crawfordsville, Ga., writes: "I cheerfully recommend B. B. B. as a fine tonic alterative. Its use cured an excrescence of the neck after other remedies effected no perceptible good." Dr. C. H. Montgomery, Jacksonville, Ala., writes: "My mother insisted on my getting B. B. B. for her rheumurism, as her case stubbornly resisted the usual remedies. She experienced immediate relief, and her im provement has been truly wonderful."

Cn1Ar.Esros, Feb. 1.-About the queerest ise cof matrimony on record is reported in sprtanburg couty in this State. A young merchant foundi himself the defendant in several lawsuits. with judgmients out against hiim. He employed alawyer. but learned that it was too late to move for a new trial. is property was advertised for sale. On Friday last the Sheriff received notice from him that he would claim the homestead, andl sked that he send out and have it laid off for him, inasmuch as he was not willing to see his wife and children placed inr a con dition of want and suffering. It seems that this young merchant had found a widow with three children who consented to an im mediate marriage, and had thus provided himself with a ready-made family. Under the homestead laws of this State a married man's estate is exempt from judgment to the amount of $1,000. The plainitiff's attorneys ave given notice to the other side that they will apply to the Court to set aside the mar riage as illegal, having been contracted to inder, delay, snd defraud the creditors out of their just and lawful claims.

Respectfully, POISON INTHE ASHES What the It. Lebanon Shakers Found-Incident in the His tory of a Quiet Community. The Mount Lebanon (New York) Shakers are a quiet com munity, seclnded from the fret and worry of the outside world. Thecy are widely known, how ver, for their strict honor and probity in business. The Shakers believe that na ture has a remedy for every dis ease. A few have been found the rest are as yet unknown. Many were discovered by acci dent. Others came to light as the result of patient experiment and research. Nervous Dyspepsia is a com. paratively new disease, growing out of the conditions of modern life. It is a joint affection of the digestive organs and of the nervous system. These two were formerly treated as sepa rate ailments, and it was left for the clear-sightecd Shakers to prove that the basis of this terrible and often fatal compli cation lies chiefly in the disord ered and depraved functions of digestion and nutrition. They reasoned thus :-"if we can in duce the stomach to do its work, and stimulate the excre tive organs to drive out of the body the poisonous waste mat ters which remain after thelife giving elements of the food have been absorbed, we shall have conquered Nervous Dys pepsia and Nervous Exhaust ion. And they were right. Knowing the infallible -power of Shaker Extract (Seigel's Syrup) in kss complicated though s i in i l a r diseases, they resolved to test .it fully in this. To leave no ground for doifbt they prescribed the remedy in hundreds of cases which had been pronounced in curable-with perfect success in every instance where their directions as to living -nd diet were serimulously followed. Nervous I)spepsia and Ex haustion is a peculiarly Ameri can diseas-. To a greater or less extent half the people of this country suffer from it both sexes and all ages. In no country in the world are ther-e to overnlowing, all resulting from this alarminmg disease, Its leadinig symptoms are -these: Frequent or continual head ache; a dull pain at the base of the brain; bad br-eath; nau seous eruetations; the rising of sour and pungent fluids to the throat; a sense of oppress ion and faintness at the pit of the stomach ; flatulence; wake fulness and loss of sleep; dis gust with food even when reak fromi the need of it; 'sticky or slimy matter on the teeth or in the mouth, especially on ris ing in the mnorning;,furred and coated tongue; dull eyes; cold hands and feet; constipation; dry or rough skin ; inability to fix the mind on any labor-call ing for continuous attention; and oppressive and sad fore bodings and fears. All this terrible - grounp Shaker Extract (Seigel's Syrup) removes by its -pos itie, powerful, direct yet painless and gentle action upon the functions of digestion and assimilation. Those elements of the food that build up and strengthen the system are sent upon their mission, while all waste matters (the ashes of life's fire) which um-emioved, poison and kill, are expelled fr-om the body through the bowels, kid neys and skin. The weak and prostrated nerves are quieted, toned and fed by the purified blood. As the result, health, with its enjoyments, blessings and power, returns to the suf ferer who had, perhaps, aband oned all hop of ever seeing another we-day. Let's Have F'actories.
