THE MAlIMG TIME. wrann in g, B. CO S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, Febrlu 12, 1890. OUR IMPOTENT LAWS. We have several times alluded to the weakness, the impotence, of our State laws, and it is this fearful weak ness that causes so much exercise of lynch law. A man, if he or his friends can only raise enough money, may steal, burn, outrage, sell whiskey, murder, or commit any crime in the statutes, without fear of harm from our poor, weak, State laws. In the case of selling whiskey we are told that there are a score or more of country stores in this county that sell whiskey. They pay $25 for a United States license, and have no fears that the county commissioners, grand jury, or any other oficers will molest them. Such a course of pro ceeding, to say the least of it, is an outrageous shame upon the decency and manhood of the county, and an outrage upon those who do pay the license. We are unequivocally oppos ed to the sale and the use of whiskey in any of its forms, but at the same time we want to see justice and right prevail. The two barrooms in this town are the only places in the county where whisky can legally be sold as a bev erage. They each pay $875 for the privilege of selling whiskey, and yet any little cross-roads country shanty can by paying twenty-five dollars for a United States license sell with im punity. The county commissioners collect $100 each from the Manning bars, but nothing from the county bars. Is there any justice in this? The members of the grand jury undoubtedly hear of these rumors, and the public will await with much interest to see with how much spinal ity the grand jury of 1890 will dis charge their duty in this respect. On last Saturday, in Cincinati, Judge Kinnler divorced eleven couples. Hugh Graham, a discharged em ployee of Post Master General Wan namake, has brought suit for dam ages amounting to $20,000. On last Wednesday morning at Orangeburg, a steam mill boiler be longing to Smith & Dantzler, explod ed and instantly killed Elijah Clemons. Ex-Governor Chamberlain in }iis speech before the Boston Reform Club on Sunday denounced the wholesale robbery of the treasury go -ing on under the name of pension .bills. *Saturday last at Wilmington, DeL, as a result of court week, the sentence -of sixteen men were executed by a public whipping. The culprits were all thieves, and the whipping./oak ~'-~-m-adrvi rein storm. The Democratic members of the Montana Legislature, in order to pre vent the Republicans from passing measures against their interests .have crossed over the State line, thereby chocking the wheels of legislation. In Camden, Feb. 6th, James Dong las, a white man, was acquitted of a -most horrible charge, notwithstand ing the fact that the wife and daugh *ter testified as to the truth of the charge against him. The jury, how ever, believed that the wife and daughter made up their stories in or der to put Douglas out of the way. A Large Commercial Deal. -'There has been an unusual strin gency in the money market in the North. Lenders were asking as much as five per cent. per month for their rioney on Wall street. The cause of this unusual stringency is that owing to the fact that the weather up North has been-very mild, so much so that mannufecturers of clothing, dry goods, shoes, etc., have been unable to dis pose of the vast amount of goods on biud, and as a natural consequence the manufacturers were forced to go out on the money market and borrow money in order that their paper could be met in bank. A great many were unable to obtain all the money they needed to save their paper. The re sult was that they were compelled to unload their stocks at a sacrifice. They were forced to sell for whatever they could get, and thereby save themselves from a financial crash. It is said that "'tis an ill wind that blows no good," and this unfortunate state of affairs at the North is going to prove very fortunate for the customers of the Levi Brothers at their mammoth establishment in the city 'of Sumter. The Levis ever on the lookout for bargains, and having the necessary capital to accomplish a large drive, took advantage of this opportunity and invested a large sum of money in the very latest styles of dry goods, fancy goods, ladies' novelties, clothing, shoes, hats, groceries, and in fact the best assorted stock of goods that can be found at this season of the year in any establishment this side of Charles ton. ~The Levis have made this in vestment because they know that the farmers of Clarendon and Sumter have changed their mode of doing business. Instead of the old-fashion way of giving a lien on their crop, they have made their arrangements in a business-like manner by obtaining the cash, and thus purchasing where ever they see fit, and from the house that selltthem the cheapest. This has been the inducement for this large investment, for knowing as business men that competition is great, and in order to keep ahead in the commer --isi-raes-Biat is now being run, they made this great outlay, and propose to give the farmer the benefit. They clim that they can sell goods cheaper than any house in Sumter, and still make a reasonable profit. Now is the time to lay in your sup ply of such goods as you need, be cause when goods are sold cheap they keep moving, and with such salesmen as the Levis they will not be on hand er-y long.

McLean's liver and kidney pillets is quite sufficient and more agreeable. Pimples, blotches, scaly skin, ugly spots. sores and ulcers, abscesses and tumors, un, healthy discharges, such as catarrh, eczema, ringworm, and other forms of skin diseases,; are symptoms of blood impurity. Take Dr. J. H. McLean's Sarsaparilla. Faults of digestion cause disorders of the liver and the whole system becomes derang-' ed. Dr. J. Hi. McLean's Sarsaparilla perfects the process of digestion and assimilation,: and thus makes pure blood. Use Litter for Fertilizers. BONANzA, Feb. 10.-The past week we had the privilege of visiting Foreston, and then to go in an opposite direction from here some fifteen miles or more, We were struck with what we saw on all sides. The plows are at work; log-rollings on every hand. WVe believe there will be more new land brought into cultivation this year, than we ever knew of in one year. Every one seems to be up and doing. With any. thing like an ordinary season, this will be a year of good crops. IWe saw more litter hauled and being. hauled than ever before, or at least since "daddy" used to haul it in the days before commercial fertilizers came into use, in the good old days you know. Mr. Editor, we like this litter (compost) fertilizer, not be cause "daddy" used it, but because common sense and cheaipness recommend it, and it is more permanent in its effect, so we take the activity in this line as a good omen of a brighter future. So mote it be. C. Ceualgic Persons And those troubled with nervousness resulting from care or overwork will be relieved by taking Brown's Iron Bitters. Genuine HOUSEHOLD NOTES. MRS. S. A. NETTLEs. To brighten pieces of carpeting or rugs that have been used, they may be tacked on the floor and scrub bed with a sponge or soft cloth, dip ped in a solution of warm water and salt. Plain soapsuds, warm not hot, will work a wonderful change. NEW STm: BED CovERS.-It has become quite fashionable of late to make serviceable bed covers of stout linen sheeting, or of a cotton material which comes in white and also in shades of blue, tan, yellow, pink, and green, called Bolton sheet ing. It is not expensive and can be nicely cleaned. A deep band of Tur key red or blue cotton is stiched as a border around. The pattern for the ambroidery should be large, some thing that will work out rapidly, and be worked with a heavy Scotch floss ,hat is just suited for outlining large pieces of work. It comes in rich beautiful colors and is to be conched, ,hat is overcast firmly and smoothly ilong the pattern. Another material .hat is much used is blue cotton den bam, and costs only seventeen cents a yard. In this the under side is a ighter shade than the upper and is asually turned over in a deep hem which makes the border. The em broidery may be done with either aeavy white linen floss or with red, >range, or pink Bargarren, as the new 3cotch floss is called. CHocoIrE CAM.-One cupful of butter, two cupfuls of sugar, three md one-half cupfuls of flour, three ea-spoonfuls of bakigg-powder, one cant cupful of sweet milk, and five .ggs, leaving out the whites of two; make in a dripping pan and when 2early cool pour on the frosting made >f the whites of the two eggs, one nd one-half cupfuls of sugar, two ;easpoonfuls of vanilla, six table-' ipoonfuls of grated chocolate beaten ogether. How TO MAKE AN AFGuA.-Crochet n plain stitch a strip about six inch ,s wide and the length of your afghan. Jse heavy Germantown worsted and large bone needle. You will need ix or eight of these strips, and they nay be of any colors prefered; each 6 different color, or only three colors, reen, purple, and crimson makes a rery pretty one; white, orange, and >lack is quite rich looking. After oining them together make a vine of *ontrasting color in cross-stich on ,ach stripe. Finish with fringe made >f the worsted. A Pnirm ScAr.-Materials requir d are orange silk ribbon, three and >ne-half inches wide, knitting silk of ;ame color, and a quantity of small rings. Cut three lengths of the rib bon one and one quarter yards long, place them as far apart as the width f the ribbon, cut shorter lengths of ribbon and weave across, one at each mnd, and as many more as required, baving them also three and one-half inches apart. Fasten the ribbons to gether invisibly at each intersection. There will now be two rows of openI squares on each side of the centre strip, and these are to be filled with the rings, covered closely with the knitting silk in double crochet and aught together to form squares. Finish the ends with fringe or not, as preferred, or with a row of the rings' fastened straight across, then two to gether and skip one, and then one be low tbe two, in which is knotted a tassel of the orange silk. If a larger scarf is desired, five lengths of ribbon may be used instead of three, cutting thm proportionately longer. Any color preferred to orange may be chosen, and the rings covered with a barmonizing or contrasting color of silk. These rings may be purchased, by the way, ready for use, but are, of course, more expensive than those which one may make at home.-Ar thur's ilome Magazine. Cnx3r CAum.-Into a large bowl put a scant cupful of nice, fine, golden brown bread-crumbs, and the same, cup full of granulated sugar. Now break into the cup as many eggs as will fill it, and one over; pour into the bowl with the sugar and crumbs, ad stir continually for at least three fourths of an hour and always in the same direction. Your batter will be very light. Flavor with the grated rind of a lemon; bake like spoege cake, and cut when cold with a sharp knife. By varying the form of the cake you can have different results. One-half sponge cake and one-half "mother's crumb cake," with jelly or chocolate icing between, makes a nice "fancy cake," or baked in a square tin and cut in "sticks" it is very nice, and less expensive than with the chocolate icing.-Arthurp's Honw 31ag zzne. A CHEAP CA.--Beat together un Lil very light, one and one-half cups >f sugar; have ready a pint of sifted sour in which is thoroughly mixed ne teaspoonful each of baking-powv er and 'cinnamon, nutmeg, or other favoring, and a little salt, measure al up of sweet milk, add flour and milk to the sugar and egg, a little of each it a time; when thoroughly mixedi dd a desert spoonful of melted but FORL DYSPEPSIA Use Brown's iron BitterH. Physicians recommend it. Anl dealers keep it. $1.00 per bottle. Genuine has tra~de-mark and crossed red lines on wrapper. Newspaper Advertising Pgs. "Nobody has tried more different kinds of mdvertising than we have," said Mr. Cham bers, of the firmi of Rogers, Peet & Co., a few days ago, "or tried the different kinds more thoroughly, but we have settled down uow to regular newspaper advertising, and believe that, for a permanent business, that ione pays."---Xnce York Sun. mnDyspepsia sefdestruscion, Distress after eating, sick head ahheartburn, sour stomach, mna ers sntCare caused by this very Common and inraigdisease. Hood's Sarsaparllla tones thO stomach, creates an appetite, promotes healthy digestion, relieves sick headache, clears the mind, and cures the most obstinate cases of dys pepsia. Read the following: "I have been troubled with dyspepsia. I had but lttle appetite, and what I did eat distressed me,or did me little good. In an hour after eating I would experience a faintness or tired, all.gone feelng, as though I had not eaten anything. Hood's sarsaparilla did me an immense amount of good. It gave me an appetite, and my food relshed and satisfied the craving I had previously experienced. It relieved me of that faint, tired, algone feeling. I have felt so much bettor since I took Hood's sarsaparina, that I am happy to recommend It." G. A. PAoz, Watertown, Mass. N. B.
