About a year ago one of our most promis

prices he made an advertising medium of
every customer who dealt with him, and a
continual flow of trade has marked his bus

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.

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.

Fire in Darlington.
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.

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. Sold at ->0c. and $1 per bottle at Din

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.
Their trade is simply enormous in this very
v-aluable article from the fact that it always'

My son had a breaking out on his

of physicians be grew worse for five
years. He began to take S. S. S. and
the eruptions began to disappear. He
continued to take it and every sign of
the plague left him. - He owes his

PHYSICIANS CONFESS.
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."
A proiminens physician who wishes his
name not given, says: "A patient of mine
whose case of tertiary syphilis was surely

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.
Beware of Ointments for Catarrh That
4contain Mercury,
as mercury will surely destroy the sense of
smell and completely derange the whole sys

physiins, as the damage they will do are
ten fold to the good you can possibly derive
from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufac
tured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, 0.,
contains no mercury, and is taken internally,
and acts directly upon the blood and mucus
surfaces of the system. In buying Hall's

it has grown worse until recently, when he

di-rect cause of the affection, which took the
form of separation of the retina from the

Nervous Dyspepsia is a com.

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.
The Anderson Inteiligencer is on the right
track when it urges the establishment in
that town of a factory "that would make
hoe handles, axe handles, bamnes, single
trees, and similar small articles, from hard

sold in Anderson to keep a good-sized fac
tory in operation."
The establishment of small manufactories
