They bribed both houses of the Louisiana Legislature last year to vote for their measures, but the Governor promptly vetoed the bill. Other complications arose, but the supreme court has decided that the question must be submitted to the people. An exciting and bloody campaign is anticipated. The lottery company makes millions, and wil spend money unlimited to get an ex tension of their charter. Beastiful Fruits of a Good Work. Wasors, April 23.-At a call meet ing of the Union Histrionic club last Friday night, it was decided that as the nights are getting pretty short and the members pretty badly scat tered, that the meeting of the club would be suspended until the second Friday night in August. By that time work will not be so tight, and the club hopes to open with re doubled force and energy. The club has on hand something over a hun dred dollars, and a committee was appointed and instructed to have the Methodist church here painted at once. That is one of the causes for which the club has been working so faithfully, and hopes soon to see the fruits of its labor. An old saying is "be useful as well as ornamental." The U. H. C. has been a very useful instrument in promoting good humor, sociability, good sound sense, etc., and of course is ornamental within itself, and- hopes soon to ornament the house of God here with a beauti ful coat of paint. A committee was also appointed and empowered to draup a set of resolutions tendering to Mrs: S. A. Nelson the most sincere and hearty thanks- and good will of the club for the many kindnesses and for material aid rendered by her to the club. The club has had all of its meetings at the residence of Mrs. Nelson and we are sure that not only every memb~er of the club but all of the many visitors who have attended .from tinie to time feel heartily grate ful to her for her kindness and genial hospitality on all occasions. After attending to other business pertain ing to the club it adjourned to meet the 2nd Friday night in July. The stand of corn is very poor this year, be it said to the credit or dis credit of the crows, larks, ground moles, wet weather, etc. We saw one darkey who vowed that he had kicked all the skin off his heels, mak ing holes to replant; it reminded us of the old saying "knock a nigger on the heel if you want to get at his brain," and it was also another link in the chain of evidence, supporting the old saying. We heard a fellow say the other day that "every body seemed to be singing a song to the tune of cotton planting ;" that's a fact, everybody is either singing it or done sung. - n. Tobacco Free-Whiskey the Same. Deputy Internal Revenue Collector E. H. Deas, sends us the following : Enrroz MjssmoG Tnoxs :-I am required to inform you as you would most likely de sire to furnish your patrona with the infor meation, that the special tax now paid by dealers in manufacturing tobacco and -ias has been abolished to take effect on andafter May 1, 1891. Also, that liquor dealers are hereby no - tided that taxes on the same for the full year will hereafter become due the 1st day of July of each year, instead of the 1st day of May as heretofore. Persons .liable who have paid special tax for the period ending April 30th, 1891, can have their stamps sixth of their rate for the year. For this purpose the person liable should make a return on form 11 to the collector and pro cure an extension certincate. A similar re turn should also be made, and a proper sealtax stamp procured for the year be ~nigJuly 1st, 1891. Persons commene rng in May or June 1891 must make a re turn on form 11, and procure a stamp for the period ending June 30, 1891. These zeturns must in every case be ren deredidample time to enable the officer to receive them, and not later than the last day of the month in which liability begins. For failures to make returns as above stated, a penalty of fity per centum of the amount of the tax will be assessed. The failure to rouea special tax stamp also renders the elnunsliable to criminal prosecution. .H. DEAlS, Deputy Collector. Patent medicines differ-One has reason ableness. another has not. One has repu tation-another has not. One has confi dence, born of success-another has only Dnt take it for granted that all patent medicines are alike. They are not. Let the years of uninterrupted success and the tens of thousands of cured and happy men and women, place Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery and Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription on the side of the comparison to which they belong. And there isn't a State or territory, no-nor hardly a country in the world, whether its people realize it or not, but have men and women in them thatre happier because of their discovery and their effects. Think of this in health. Think of it in sickness. And then think whether you can afford to make the trial if the makers can afford to take the risk to give your mon ey back, as they do, if they do not benefit or cure you. Who Will Rock the Cradlei When women's rigbthave come to stay, Oh. who will rock the cradle ? When wives are at the polls all day, Oh, who will rock the cradle ? When Doctor Mamma's selling pills, When Merchant Mamma's making bills, Of course 'twill cure all woman's ills, But who will rock the cradle ? When mamma to the court has hied, Oh, who will rock the cradle ? She has a case that must be tried, But who will rock the cradle ? When Captain Mamma walks her decks, When Banker Mamma's cashing checks, When all our girls have lost their sex, Must Rock The cradle? LAUNCHED INTO ETERNITY. ,irst Legal Execution in Clarendon Since 1865-Edmund Holladay Faces Death Without a Tremor. The execution of Edmnnd Holladay, col >red, convicted at the February tern of ,ourt, for the murder of John W. DuBoe. ,vhite, took place in the jail yard last Fri lav morning. the acting sheriff used every precaution ; have the court's decree carried out as pri rately as possible, and only those that had special permits were allowed to go into the ail yard. Among these were Rev. E. H. Wilson, pastor of the A. M. E. church, Rev. ohen Whitehead, pastor of the colored Baptist church, the doctors, representa :ives of the press, special deputies, and a rew others, in all about thirty persons. At about half past ten o'clock the sheriff, Rev. E. H. Wilson, and the newspaper rep resentatives went up stairs to the cell where the prisoner was confined, and in response to the question if he desired to make a statement he replied that he had nothing to sa-, only 'that be did not rest well last night, nd had not felt like eating any breakfast this morning.' In reply to other questions, he stated that his wife had not been to see him since he was brought back from the Sumter jail, and that his churc'a member ship was in the Calvary colored Baptist church. Rev. Wilson asked how he was feeling spiritually, to which lie replied that he felt "strong in the spirit." The minis ter told him to put himself into the hands of the Lord, and then knelt and offered up a very feeling and fervent prayer, during which the prisoner was composed and punctuated the minister's sentences with prayerful responses. He was then taken out of the cell by the deputies, who pinioned his hands behind his back, and the march to the gallows was begun. On arriving at the steps he ascend ed without the slightest falter or emotion, and having mounted the gallows, turned towards those in the yard. The sheriff asked him if he desired to say anything, to which he said that he would like Mr. Whitc head to pray and have a hymn sung for him. Rev Wilson raised the hymn "Jesus, my all, to heaven is gone," which was join. ed in by the prisoner who sang in a strong clear voice. At the conclusion of the hymn Rev. Whitehead knelt and delivered a beautiful and touching prayer. When he fin ished he bade the prisoner farewell and ex pressed the hope that he would meet him at the great white throne in the presence of the Heavenly Father. The sheriff again asked the doomed man if he wanted to say anything now as it was his last chance. He said, "I have writen something, but I will say to my friends and hearers, that I have made my peace with the Lord, and taken up Christ and his foot-steps. I have Heaven for my home. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh. I bid you all adieu." The rope, which was the same used in the hanging of the Maxcey murderers in Sumter, was adjusted, and the black cap drawn over his face. The sher iff at once began reading the death warrant. He finished reading at five min utes past eleven o'clock, and as he read the last word on the document he sprung the trap and Edmund Holladay swung into eternity, paying the penalty of his crime. The drop was about three feet and the neck was broker instanily. There was scarcely any struggle, a few slight quivers, and all was over. In nine and a half min utes the doctors oronounced that death had taken place, but suggested to the sheriff to allow the body to remain hanging a little while longer. There was a large crowd of white and colored persons outside of the yard, and the sheriff went to the gate, and said that if any of the relatives of the dead man were out there they could go in to view the body. None responded, and then the sheriff ex tended the invitation to the'crowd. As soon asghe threw the gate open the crowd made P tremendous rush for the scene of the hang ing, and in a very few minutes at least twc hundred persons congregated around th< gallows with their curious eyes centered or the dead man as he swung suspended it the air. A great many of the negroes seemec to regard the affair with little solemnity They laughed, cracked jokes, and did no act as if they were standing in the presene of death and viewing that which but a fev minutes before con~tained what the Creato: alone could give. The body was allowed to remain nangini about thirty minutes, when it was cut dowi and placed in the coffin. During the entire preliminaries the pris oner did not exhibit the least fear or trembl ling, but displayed a composure that wa certainly remarkable. The sheriff made dilligent inquiries as t whether any of the prisoner's friends ha< come to take charge of the body, but find~ ingno one would have it, he had the bod; buried in the Potter's field in this place. On account of the illness of the sherit Mr. J. H. Lesesne was the acting sherif! He deserves credit for the manner he ex< uted this solemn and responsible mandat of the court. There was not a hitch c a blunder in the entire proceedings. The prisoner had written a letter to hi relatives and that was what he had referenc to when he ?aid that he had written some thing. In the letter he made the reques that after his execution, that his body b taken and buried in the cemetery at thi church of which he was a member. [Last Monday the friends of Edmnun. Holladay caime to Manning. and disinterre, his remains for burial at Calvary colore, ehurch yard.] The writer asked one of the ministers he proposed to administer the sacrameri of the Lord's supper, and was told that th prisoner had not requested it. and as t prisoner's pastor was accessible and did nc appear, he did not feel warranted in offe. ig it to him. This was the first legal execution in Clai endon county since the early part of I8Gs and then five negroes were hanged, havin been convicted of insurrection, and set tenced by Magistrate Cappell in the For of Black River. Capt. D. J. Bradhamn wa sheriff at the time, and under the law bi executed the prisoners near the scenec their crime, which was near where Mr. 3 H. Gaillard now resides. When a sho: time after, this county became garrisone Capt. Bradham was reported to Gen. Cai by who issued an order for his arrest. Tw United States soldiers went to Capt. Bratc ham's house, arrested him, and brought hir before an officer by the name of Tremain who was in charge of the garrison at th: place. The rew citizens who were at hoix at the time interested themselves in beha of Capt Bradhami, and laid the matter be fore Gen. Canby, showing that he was ae ig as sheriff, and had only done his dut in carrying out the sentence of the civ court. With this explanation Capt. Brac ham was released. BUCKLEN'S ARNICA SALVE.

This gentleman was treated fQr years by eminent specialists, and the Brown-Sequard remedy was tried. He states he had spent upwards of seven thousand dollars with the most eminent physicians, and otherwise, but without the least benefit. He bade his old comrades in arms an affectionate fare well more than a year ago, and yet, here is what he writes under a fresh date. Could anything be more wondcrful?
