THE ANNING TIMES. Mining, S. C. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1890. Crowded Out. For the past few weeks it has just been impossible to get out a supplement, and it was equally impossible to get in all the matter we wished. This week all editorial matter is crowded out, as well as several communications. Among these communications is one from Mr. J. M. Welch, of Fulton, on the Pine wood election, which will appear next week. Mr. J. P. Mitchum, of Jordan, who two weeks ago attempted to commit suicide by shooting himself in the head with a pistol, is greatly improved and the doctors now think he may recover. He expects to be able in a few days to attend to his regular business. A Private Note. Our rule is to promptly cut off a subscrib er's name if he does not promptly renew, but on account of a pressure of politics for the past few weeks we have been regligent of this duty, and several subscriptions have been allowed to run over a few weeks. We have got down to business again, howe-er, andafter this week will, unless the renewal comes in, stop the paper when tLe time is out. We don't like to lose a subscriber, and we have a tender feeling for each one on our list, but it's business, and unless a subscrib or renews, we of course take it for granted that he does not want the paper and we stop it. A Brilliant Financial Success. For the past week the money market at the North has been in a great flutter owing to the fnancial stringency in New York. An evening paper says: Mr. Wanamak er's troubles and this great stringency are both due to the same cause; and the prime cause of the action is the Louisianna Lot tory Company. This company is being fought by Mr. Wanamaker and as soon as they learned that their enemy the king merchant was borrowing, they withdrew from the banks and consequently from circulation $7,000, O00. This so tightened the money market as not only prevented Wanamaker from bor rowing, but also brought such a scarcity of ready money in New York as nearly caused a genuine panic, and did succeed in bring ling about a number of large failures. Among the number was a bank and several supposably strong mercantile firms. Such a condition of things does harm to merchants that are forced to do business on a borrowed capital, but with merchants that have a ready cash capital like the Levi Brothers of Samter, it always proves a greit benefit; because they are always on the lookout to take advantage of every oppor tunity offered in the commercial world, whereby they can buy their goods cheap in order that they may contirue giving their large and growing trade the advantage of buying from them cheaper than elsewhere. A depression in the money markets causes maufactarers who are often caught with their paper in bank, to unload their stocks at a sacrifice in order to meet their paper and save themselves from financial ruin. IL is then that the Levi Brothers step in Ai*th -their immense cash capital and make investments at such reduced figures that they can afford to sell their goods at factory They pride themselves on being the lead ers in the general mercantile business in the city of Sumter, and it is not surprising that they should be as they are young men, reared up in the mercantile business under n~ oe of the best financiers in the State. They are from this county originally, and Siis but natural for them to want their home folks call on them whenever they vis i t Samter. They are offering to the trade inythingini the general mercantile line at such low prices that they feel warranted in -saying that you will save money by making yansarebsesfrom them. - An Appeal from Dr. Jacobs. -Thanksgiving and Christmas days are e-jst athand ! OC One hundred fatherless, motherless little enes are in the Thornwell orphanage, Clin eriswork for the churches and church Sless, alliance-men and merchants, and $every body else. 'Who will take care of these orphans? SThey are from all leading denominations. -They hail from Maryland to Texas, from iiMaenhusetts to Missouri. Ye good Christians, will you give them a T-~ hashsgiving or Christmas collection,-or both? Will you send them a barrel of diour, or a bolt of cloth, or a box of sundries? Who can help pitying the orphans-one K nndred of them? Tender hearted woman ! e re is work for you. And even children may work. for children ! Merchants, send Sthem your remnants of shoes or dry-goods or anythilig from a bushel of corn to a bar vrel of molasses. And there is money that answereth all things. C.Address Dr. Jacobs, Thornwell Orphan age, Clinton, S. C. S A STRANGEHISTORY. SSomne kecount of the Union Soldier who Engrossed Gen. Grant's Terms of Sur render at Appomatton To the Editor of The News and Courier: ~Tis year Ihave had a very pleasant cor respondence with a gentleman who, 4during a portion of the Confederate war, was Gen. &Grant's military secretary. Early in 1863 he entered the volunteer service, and was mus tered out as a brevet brigadier general at the close of the war. Besides being Gen. :Grant's military secretary, he was also as aistant adjutant general on his staf. When Gen. Lee surrendered at Appomattox this gentean engrossed Gen. Grant's terms of surrender. These facts alone would make him a person of interest, but there are other facts connected with him which double the interest, for he is not only a full-blooded Indian, .but is also a celebrated Inctian 1saehem. Doubtless my readers will start with surprise at this statement, but it is true. The English name of the chief is Ely a. Parker; his Indian name is Do-nc-ho-ga wa which signifies "keeper of the door." e is the chief sachem of the Six Naitions in New York State, of which people 'there ar some five thousand living in that State. Gen. Parker is of the Seneca Nation, the same nation which produced the illustrious oraor Bed Jacket. He was born on the Tonawanda reservation in Western New Yrk After the Confederate war he entered the regular armay as second lieutenant in the 2d United States cavalry and rose to the postion of brigadier general. From 1869 to 1872 he filled the important position of commissioner of Indian afairs, stationed at Washington. He is the only full-blooded Indian, so far as I know, who has ever filled a political position in the United States. In 1872 he severed his connection with govern mental affairs. He has been Chief Sachem of the Six Nations since 1852, and is an au thority an Indian matters, He now lives in New York city. The General comes from an Indian family of which the Seneca Natlon can justly be proud. His brother, Chief Nicholas H. Parker, is a person of prominence among ~the New York Senecas; his Indian name is -.Gi-an-twa-ka, which signifies "the Planter." Miss Caroline Parker, the General's sister, married the late John Moontpleasant, the head chief of the Tuscaroras; his Indian name was Dah-gah-yah-dent, which meant "Falling Woods." Mrs. Mountpleasant's Indian name is Ge-go-sa-seh, which means "Wild Cat." The New York Herald informs: us that the Parkers are "highly educated." I have found the General to be a genial and pleasant correspondent. Let us hope that a full history of this interesting Indian '-fmly will one day be written. McDonaw Fuyh. no Sumter county, Oct. 22.. Governor Elshardson h s-su~ed his an nual T'eanksgivihrp t~amation inviting the people regardless of denomination to assemble at their respective places of wor ship on Thursday the 27th inst "to render unto the Lord the praise and gratitude which are so justly due uito him, and which is so becoming in ourselves who are. uhs people and the daily beneficiaries of' A Pleasant Eutertainmen t at Wilsons.

A few bottles of Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) restored her to per fect health. It built her up, increased her appetite and weight, until she is now the picture of health. The speedy recovery of my wife from her long illness caused all my family and sever al of my neighbors, to take S. S. S. As a tonic we are all delighted with it. GEORGE FAnM-Ent, Covington, 0. Baby Cured. M My baby had the, worst case of ca- c tarrh that I ever saw a small child af flicted with. The-nasal discharge was very large and very offensive. Having some personal knowledge of the cura tive properties of S. S. S. I gave the baby a course of S. S. S., using noth- c" ing else. In a short time the dis charge from the nose stopped, and the catarrh was cured entirely and perma nently, as there has been no return of it since. D.vw ZAnTMA, Independence, Ohio.

In the last ten years, on ac- p count of the continuous movement of cul- ar ored colonists to Mississippi and Arkansas, y the increase of the colored population has only been 30,316, while the white population has in the same time been increased by an addition of 121,254. For every 20,000 of increase in white population there has been but 5,000 increase in black population. Is the most ancient and most general of all diseases.
