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

Five hundred negroes left North Carolina
last week. It is said that the exodus will con

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

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have to be repealed.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

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.

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,

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.

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.

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
