Turnip Seed, all Varieties. in Bulk or Packages at Dinkins & Co.'s Drug Store. Rock Hill is moving for her third cotton mill with a capital of $100,000, one-half of which ha; been subscribed. One of the "sure cures for consumption" sold in Philadelphia was analyzed the other day, and found to consist of rum, molasses, and extract of dandelion. Since J. M. Johnson, Esq., of Marion, as sumed the duties of the office of solicitor, in December last, five men have been con victed in his circuit of capital crimes, three of whom are white. Mr. J. D. Stanley, of Eastover in Richland county, is manufacturing a cotton bagging made of cotton warp and pine straw filling. The stuff weighs two pounds to the yard, and sells for nine cents. The Camden Journal tells of a mule that died in Kershaw county the 18th of August 42 years old. It was a grey mule. There is no mistake about its age, for it hauled wood in Camden in 1850. Five hundred negroes left North Carolina last week. It is said that the exodus will con tinue all winter. A few of these were from the farms or country but they came princi pally from the suburbs of cities. There is a rebate allowed by law on all imported jute bagging exported on cotton to England. Last year, $29,116.79 was the accumulated rebate in Charleston. To whom is this distributed? The farmer or factor? An Irishman, who had jumped into the water to save a man from drowning, on re ceiving a sixpence from the rescued man, looked first at the sixpence and then at the man, saying, "Be jabbers. I am overpaid for that job." A single sheet of paper six feet wide and seven miles and three quarters in length has been made at the Watertown, N. Y., Paper Works. It weighed 2,207 pounds, and was made and rolled entire without a single break. Seventeen ziegro babies in Augusta, Ga., have been christened Benjamin Harrison. The President's secretary has written letters to the parents, thanking them for the com pliment, and expressing kind wishes for' the welfare of the children.--EchawJe. An expert on the subject of ~elect-rfeity, belonging to the British Association, states it cannot be depended on for the execution of criminals. It was impossible to get a current strong enough to kill a man every time. He thinks the New York law will have to be repealed. Many of the white children in the Gth public school district of Cmecinnati have re fused to attend the school because colored children have been admitted, and a juvenile race wvar, with stones, is being daily carried on. Foraker may have to call out-the militia to quell the rebellion against equal rights in the public schools. Self-interest may induce ~non-alliance men to buy jute because the price is lower than cotton bagging, but such men ought to remember that the fight which the Alli ance is making, has caused the decline in the price of jute, and every man who loves right and hates the wrong should give the Alliance his support. Forming your judgment from what you read in the "leadin~g daily newspaper-," you might think this world was going hellward hadlong. Forming your judgment from what you see and hear in tfle best religious circles, you would think just the contrary and be nearer right. The devil will never forelose a mortgage on this planet for Je sus reigns and grace abounds.- -ChrL1istian Adocae. A few years ago the New Home sewing machine was seldom heard of. It is now the best known and has more friends and a larger sale than any other sewing machine. On account of the simple mechanical de vics employed in its construction, it runs lighter and with grzater speed than any other. All the parts are made adjustable, so that "lost motion" fronm long usage, can be easily taken up, making the New Home the best machine for family use now in the market. The diacovery of the curious ice cave in Ashley Valley, in the Rocky Mountains, contiues to attract attention. Tonm Mitch elI, who has just returned from Salt Lake City from there, says that in the latter part of August he found in the cave a section of ice 25 feet high and 30 feet thick at the base. A small lake was also discovered. One of the rooms in the cave was over 1 ,2001 feet long. The party who went in with Mitchell were bound together much after the fashion of Alpine climbers. It is proposed to turn the C7ol. Cash plan tation in Chesterfield county into a stock farm to be owned and controlled by a com pany. There are 15,000 acres which can be bought and fenced for $60,000. The propo sition is to buy 2,000 cows at $10 each. In ten years each cow will yield $1,650, or in ten years the gross income will be $3,300, 000. fleduct the original cost of the farm and the expenses of keeping the- same there will be a net balance of $3,199,000 and the farm thrown in at the end of tca years. Do you see how easy it is to do that ? It beats making cotton with ahead pencil. How They do in Barnweli. BARXwEUI., Sept. 27.--JBarnwell tops the ounty to-day on Alliance cotton. The streets were thronged with wagons loaded with cot ton, which was covered with cotton, with the xception of a few bales. Col. Mike Brown offered 10 cents for the whole lot of cotton. The Alliance men held several secret meet ings during the day, and seemed to be tus sling against accepting the offer, and tried to get 10j. They hel out unt~il late in the evening, when the whole lot wvas bought by Col. . Brown at 10) cents, his first offer. He handled and paid for about six hundred A Big Trial in Sumter. Two years ago a young man from Claren don went to Sumter on a little trip. While there he walked into one of the largest store in the place, called for the proprietor, and before the sun set, took charge of the whob business. He immediately ordered :20,00( worth of goods from New York, and in less than a month was running one of the larges mercantile establishments in the town. His rivals in business began to look at him wit: Ldarm as they saw the rush of patronage drift from them and concentrate at his place of business. The people had much to say about him, and so great was the public ex ercised that it went straight to trying him, but in the manner of the ancient Romans. The populace gathered themselves together day by day, and meted out justice on every point as the trial proceedeed. The unani mous verdict of rich and poor, patricians and plebeians, men, women, and children, is that Ferdinand Levi will give you more goods for the same money than any mer chant of Sumter. Clarendon do your duly. The Price of Sugar. [Fromn Bradstreets.] Sugar costs only one-fourth as much now as it did in 1879, and tea from one-seventi to one-fifth. The decline shown in the price of starch is prodigious, while the de crease in the cost of soap is fully two-thirds on the common and castile varieties. In short, one can buy quite as much corn, or more, for the same money as when Washing ton was inaugurated, the same quantity of ham, about four times as much sugar, and more than five times as much tea, fully twen ty-two times as much starch, and three times as much soap. A further comparison shows that pig iron at $17 per ton, as at present, costs but one-ninth as much as in 1789, and that nails at 2 cents a pound are but one eighth or one-ninth the price credited to them one hundred years ago. With these comparisons in mind it becomes significant to read that the average price of day labor at the date referred to was 50 cents. We may admit that the corresponding wages to-day are $1.50, which points to the payment for services having increased nearly three times within the century, while many of the real necessities of life have decreased in price in a corresponding or still greater ratio. A nuzzling Case. Trial Justice Stuckey has a prisoner taken up under the vagrant act whom he does not know how to dispose of. On Monday last a colored man reported to Policeman Weeks that a strange negro was in a cornfield near Ricker's town de meaning himself in a peculiar manner and asked that he might be apprehended. Weeks found the negro as reported to him, sitting out in the open field with a loaded gun in his hand. When arrested and asked to give scme account of himself, he showed signs of decided lunacy, and told the officer that he was beset by an army of opossums. He was brought to town, where, his gun being taken from him, he was lock ed up in the city jug. The next morning he was released but lingered about the guard house and refused to move off. When asked why he did not hunt work he replied that he did not work, but lived by begging from the white and colored people. He was ar rested under a warrant charging him w'ith vagrancy and taken before the trial justice. Witnesses were summoned who testified that the man had been acting in the same man ner for several months past. The prisoner told his honor that he lived in the woods, and carried wveapons-to protect him from the 'possums that were constantly menacing him. Upon being further searched a large -pistol-oaded -in every chamber--was found on his person. He gave his name as Jonas Frierson, and says he hails from Mechanics ville, and that he has been wandering about in this manner for two years. On all other subjects he appears as sane as other people, but can't get over the hallucination that possums are threatening an invasion of his sacred person. Whether he is actually de mented, or whether he is one of the many vagrant mendicants merely pretending lu nacy, it puzzles his honor, the trial jnstice, to determine. The negro is now in jail. This is the best solution of the doubt. - Saem THE INCURABLE CURED. A Remarkable Statement fr-om a Well Known C'itizeun or South Car-olina. Cancer is hereditary in my family, an aunt on each side having died from this dreadful disease. In each instance the can cer was located in identically the same po sition that mine first made its appearance just beldw the left eye and extending down the left cheek bone and nose. I was at tended by the best physicians, but the ease continued to grow worse under their treat nment, an~d nio hope of a cure could be given by them; thay said: "I had better have my aifairs for this life and the next arranged, for the cancer was liable to strike a vital or gan at any moment, and at once bleed mue to death. About this time, 1886, I met with Mr. Shirley, living near Due West, whose cancer was being rapidly cured by using Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) I then gave up the doctors and all miedicines I had hereto fore been using, and commenced taking S. S. S., and after using the third bottle, I dis covered that the scab had fallen off, and that those sharp darting pains, so charac teristic of the cancer, had ceased, and the discharge was very profuse. In a few days it began to heal rapidly, and soon dried up. By the time I had exhausted the fifth bottle there was nothing left, but the scar where the cancer had been, and I was a well man. The cure effected in my case is considered by my neighbors a most remarkable one, and clearly demonstrates the fact that S. S. S. DOES CUR E CANCER. Swift's Specific is a boon to suffering humanity, and all I ask is, that those adlicted with cancer give it a trial, and like myself will be convinced of its virtues." Jamts B. Anxorn, Greenwood, S. C. Treatise on cancer mailed free. SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., Atlanta, Ga. Religious Statistics. The New York Ind(ependent has collected a large supply of statistics out of which it has compiled what is probably an approxi mately accurate Christian census of the United States. The totals will appear sur prisingly large to many readers. The whole nuniber of communicants in this country is placed at 20,750,000, or about 30 per cent of the entire population. The Methodists out number any other denomination, the memt brshi p of the severat branches of that church footing up 4,723,881. Next come the Roman Catholics with 4,430,019. The thirteen varieties of Baptists combined make a great army of 4,078,589, and the nine divisions of Presbyterians count up 1, 180,113. - Of Lutherans there are 998,008; of Congreationalists 475,G08, and of Epis. copaians 459,G42. The Catholics outnum ber any other single organic denomination, though not equal to the combined strengtl of the several varieties of Methodists. It is fair to state, however, that the Catholics count in the number of their communicants young children and the entire Catholic pop ulation, while the Protestants include only those who have actually become members of the church under prescribed regulations. A elassificationa of the statistics shows the Episcopal system to be largely predominant in the Unite-d States. It includes 9,433,196 communicants against 4,929,619 unde~r the Congregation polic~y and 2,888,22S under A Warning to Gum Chewers. A horrible warning to habitual gum chew ers, says the Raleigh tkdl, is contained in the dispatch which states that a charming belle of W shing .n has been compelled to adjure the delights of society, and go into retirement for an abnormal enlargement of her jaw, caused entirely by persistent and execssive mastication of the fascinating but dangerous gum. Young ladies who do not desire to have too much jaw should take heed and govern themselves accordingly. Florence's Second Primary. FLO:EXCE, Sept. ?2.--Full returns from the second primary election for this county, which was held last Tuesday for tle pur pose of electing the third county commis sioner, show that W. S. Gardner was elected over J. S. Leach by a nmjority of 56. Negro Regulators. We learn that a few nights ago a band of seven negroes visited Isaac Ias:sey, of their own color, who lived on the lands Mr. A. M. Black, in the Tirzah neighborhood, and chastised him by giving him five lashes each. He was accused of paying improper atten tions to the wife of a colored man in the neighborhood named Kennedy. The story also goes that Massey owed one of his as sailants $2.50, but the debt was cancelled by Massey taking twelve lashes. He was then required to leave the neighborhood, which he did without any furtheri induce ments.- ;rkille Enquirer. She Ought to be Appointed. Something rather amusing is going on in Osage county. A petition is in circulation asking for the appointment of Mrs. Charity Kibbe as postmistress of Osage city, on the ground that she is, as the petition states, "a prolific Republican." This statement is based on the fact that four years ago she gave birth to a pair of boys which were named Blaine and Logan, and during the last presidential campaign she again presented her husband with a pair of boys who were christened Harrison and Moiton.-Junction city (Kan.) Ilepubli INHERITED BLOOD POISON. How many people there are whose distress from sores, aches, pains and eruptive ten dencies are due to inherited blood poison. Bad blood passes from parent to child, and it therefore is the duty of husband and wife to keep their blood pure. This is easily accomplished-by a timely use of B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm). Send to Blood Balm Co., Atlanta, for book of most convincing proof. James Hill, Atlanta, Ga., writes: "My two sons were afflicted with blood poison, which doctors said was hereditary. They both broke out in sores and eruptions which B. B. B. promptly controlled and finally cured completely." Mrs. S. M. Williams, Sandy, Texas, writes: "My three poor afflicted children, who in herited blood poison, have improved rapidly after a use of B. B. B. It is a Godsend." J. R. Wilson, Glen Alpine Station, N. C., Feb. 13, 1885, writes: "Bone and blood poison forced me to have my leg amputated, and on the stump there came a large ulcer, which grew worse every day until doctors gave me up to die. 1 only weighed 120 pounds when I began to take B. B. B., arad 12 bottles increased my weight to ISO pounds and made me sound and well. I never knew what good health was before." The Shiftless Farmer. Are you acquainted with him ? Did you ever see him ? Is he your neighbor ? The editor of the Nevasota, (Tex.) Tablei gives such a full and accurate description of one, that should you meet him you could hardly fail to recognize him. The editor says the shiftless farmer has a lifelong ambition to gain a reputation for wearing a dirty shirt. He will alarm the neighborhood by get ting up two hours before day, and then sit around and not go to work until after sun rise. He will ride around a week, looking for a $2-hog. He will complain of hard times, then tear his pants climbing over a fence where a gate ought to be. He will pay $3 for a new bridle and then 'let the calf chew it to pieces before Sunday. He gets nil his neighbors to help in get ting a cow out of the bog, and lets her die from want of attention. She will get in and destroy his crop at a place ini his fence that he has been putting off tixing for six months., He will strain his back lifting something to show how strong he is. He will go in his shirt sleeves on a cold day to show how much lie can stand, and Ithen return home at night and occupy two thirds of the fireplace till bedtime. He wvill ridicule the mechanism of a corn planter, then go out and smash his thumb nailing a board on the fence. He will go to town on Saturday and come home with fifty cents' worth of coffee, a pa per of pins, and a dollar's worth of chewing tobacco. He is economical; economy is his forte. He will save ten cents worth of axle grease and ruin the spindle of a $70-wagon. He won't subscribe for a newspaper, but will borrow from his friend and forget to return it.

We are lpleased to state that we now have iii store and are daily receiving one of the most COMPLETE STOCKS of Merchandise ever brought to the interior. Our stock consists of All Lines of Merchandise. Hardware, Dry Goods, Groceries, Crockery, Queensware. Tinware, and in fact any and all articles and items that the average man or woman could want.. We have on hand one of the Iinest lines of Cooks ever brought to any market. We have .in this line of Cooks all numbers and sizes. Small enough for the young man just mar ried, and large enough for a family of twenty. We have taken great pains this year in the se lection of our stock of Fancy and Staple Groceries, and all we can say is that we want all the good accounts in town and in the country. We can and will sell you all the goods you want cheaper than you can buy them, and all you will have to do to convince yourself of this fact is to come and see, and you will be convinced that our stock by far is superior to anything in this section of the State. We keep no goods but what we buy from first hands, and all such we can recommend. Besides this we have abolished the old mode of transacting business. In former -years, we owing to the fact that we like all Americans like to keep up with the fashion and the ways of all around us, have sold goods too high in order to make a good showing of assets. But the writer had a dream. He was in his office, he had ledgers piled high, that represented thousands of dollars. 3-8 claims out of date, barred by the Statute of limitation, 3-8 barred by the right of the landlord, and 2-8 barred by the drought and expiration of wind in the lungs of old lonies and blind mules. All these amounts kept running on; each year they were footed up as assets-a big bubble made, filled with air, and like the boy's soap bubble soon burst, ten ant gone, account worthless. He had run the tenant in the spring and summer, when naught was in sight; the landlord took him up when the cotton came in. He awoke, and swore that he would never follow such business again; that bright as the prospects might be, that armed with all the wisdom and energy he could command, and closing his ear to the suffering of the past, He would forever quit the old mode, and change his business to something tangible. So this year we have done so-we will sell you all the goods you want for credit or cash at lower prices than you ever bought at before; but let's have some idea when you are going to-pay. ire don't want any more millennium accounts or notes. We may not be present to collect them and the banks don't want any paper over four months, and we sincerely trust we will get the crop of 1889 out before it comes, for we have one of the largest crops this year that we have ever had. No introduction is needed, no apology is offered for 1889. It comes freighted with the wisdom of centuries and each corn crib is loaded with the richest treasure that God ever gave man. Bread no object and Bacon at the price we are selling, no one can complain. And all should feel good this year. Let us get out of debt; let all of us commence anew, and the prices we are selling any and all lines of goods at to-day, willcon vince all that come that some miraculous change has taken place. Well it has. We Want to Live, and Want You to Live! ad we therefore shall try and please all in prices and goods, and we want to build up in Man ing what Clarendon County needs. a first class store where you can get what you want aridare n need of at a living price, and in order to convince you of this we must ask you to *come and idceent that an1 1nr.hn oe ~ ~ ~ ~ e ~ MOSES LEVI.
