The weather permitting, he will meake a trip to Camden-a distance of some thirty miles-on or about the 25th of next month. Gilt-Edge lDressing is the best for ladies' and children's shoes. At B. B.

They are reliable, and all orders entrusted to them will re ceive prompt and careful attention. They also solicit the shipment of country produce, such as chickens, turkeys, eggs, ete, and they guarantee highest market prices. In cases where dandruf, scalp dieases, falling.and grayness of the hair appear, do not neglect them, but apply a proper ram edy and tonic like Hall's Hair Renewer. Last summer, in order to induce our. patrons to renew their subscriptions and others to subscribe, -we offered as a prem ium a fine sewing machine; the machine was won by a colored man living near Foreston. Now we propose to renew the offer, and on the dlay before Christumas we will give away another fine sewirig machine to all subscribers that are paid up to March 1, 1896.

Please look at the label on your paper and see the date. If you are in arrears come in and settle. We do not want to cut any names from our list of subscribers, but we can not and will not be sponged on. A few men made special arrange ment< with us to send them the paper parable on tbe first of October, and they have not kept their promise to us. After this issue we will most positively' cut off~ every name from our list that we have reason to believe will not pay. We can not run a newspaper on promises any more than a farmer can make his crop on promises. Everything in a printing office costs money, and if a man wants his county pc~per he must pay cash and not promises for it. Remember we will slash into our subscription lists after this week. In many cases the first work of Ay er's Sarsaparilla is to expel the effects of the other medicines that have, been tried in vain.

A Sample of Clarendon's Tobacco Placed on Exhibition There. It has been our desire ever since the introduction of tobacco in this State to visit a tobacco warehouse and learn some thing ot the way the weed is handled on the market, and last Thursday our desire was gratified. We visited the Darlington market, and met a number of acquaintances from the Salem section of Clarendon, who were there for the purpose of selling their to bacco. At Smoot & McGill's warehouse piles of the "yellow leaf" were on the floor, and the tags showed the names of the Buddins, Gibbons, Gambles, Greens, Tomlins and others. After a while we heard the bugle notes of a horn, and in a few moments 411 was excitement, hurry and bustle. Mr. J. Reb Drake, the auctioneer, was crying off the various piles, and he was followed up by excited buyers from a number of factories from abroad. There was nothing of the "drag" about the selling, for it was spir ited from the jump, and each buyer seemed anxious to buy and get the Clarendon goods, if possible. The auctioneer, who is one of the best we ever saw, worked faithfully to secure the very best prices for the patrons of his establibhment, and our Salem friends re eeived from 18 to 38 cents per pound. One lot, belonging to Mr. W. J. Buddin, brought 80 cents per pound, and Messrs. Smoot & McGill, the proprietors of this warehouse, known as the 'Planters," were so well pleased with this lot that they have sent it to the Atlanta exposition to show the world what Clarendon can do in the way of fine grades. They also kindly gave us a small package, and it is now on ex hibition upon our office desk. We have no hesitation in recommending Smoot & McGill's warehouse to our plant ers. They are young gentlemen chock full of business enterprise, and they aie build ing up their patronage rapidly by obtain ing the very highest prices and giving their patrons every facility to market the product. The Planters' warehouse is 150 feet long by 80 feet wide, with twenty large sky-lights in the roof. These lights are for the purpose of showing up our far mers' tobacco to the best advantage, and we feel satisfied they will spare no effort or expense to make their house the most popular in the State. Carry your tobacco to the Planters' warehouse in Darlingtnn. DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the enstachian tube. When this tabe is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its nor mal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by citarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any ease of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars; free. F. J. CnzH=x & Co., Toledo, U.

E. C. AmanooL. COURT. As predicted by us the week before court, ie general sessions lasted all the week and ntil nearly mid-day Sunday. The case against Ben Flemming, Harvey odge, Monroe Peters, and Harry Reardon, :arged with the murder of Levi Nelson, was begun last Thursday and its investiga tion continued until Saturday afternoon when it was turned over to the jury. It soon became manifest that there would be deadlock and it was; the jury zemasined locked up until Sunday morning atout ten 'clock when they brought in a verdict ac uitting the prisoners. Monroe Pers, one of the defendants, while the jury was n the room, calied several gentlemen to him and he stated to them that the confes sion made by him was false and that the two white men, Flemming and Hodge were rnocent of the crime for which they were being tried; that he was persuaded to make the confession criminating Flemming and Hodge by outside parties. We were in formed that the deadlock in the jury room was caused by two of the panel not being able to decide, the testimony being so very much mixed. There was quite an array of ounsel in this case. Rhame & Davis rep resented the defendants Flemming and Hodge, the white men charged, and Mnj. A. Levi was appointed by the court to de fend Peters, the confessed murderer. There was no civil business transacted except a large number of non-contested de rees, and the most of these were for the estate of the late Dr. S. C. C. Richardson. This was Judge Watts's first term here man by his courtesy he made a favorable impression on the members of the bar and the people generally. He is about forty years of age and has the reputation of be ing a sound lawyer and was admitted to practice before he attained his majority. udge Watts was a member of the famous March Convention in 1890. and succeeded B. J. L. M. Irby as a member of the ouse from Laurens county. In 1881 he :aried Miss Cash, a daughter of the late l. E. B. Cash, and he is now a widower. "THE COMMON PEOPLE," As Abraham Lincoln called them, do not care to argue about their ailments. What. they want is a medicine that will cure them. The s'm >le, honest statement, "I know that Hoots Sarsa parilla will cure me," is the best argument in favor of this medicine, ad this what many thousands voluntarily say. Hood's pills are the best after-dinner pills, bssist digestion, cure headache. 25c. A SEWING MACHINE FREE. Do you want a first-ass sewing ma chine ? Now is your time to get it.

The Homestead Law Called Forth a Very Animated and Lengthy Discussion. The following synopsis of the proceed ings of the Constitutional Onvention gives the work of that body, to the close of last week, not contained in the report published elsewhere: The homestead provision called forth a very animated and lengthy discussion this on motion of Mr. Howell of Colleton to strike out the provision that when a home stead should be laid off it could not be sold or mortgaged except by proceedings in court, and then only for the purpose of in vesting the money in another homestead. Senator Tillman earnestly opposed the mo tion to strike out. It was carried by a vote of 82 to 44-leaving the homestead to be sold or mortgaged if the owner so desire. bome amendments were put on the new ar tiele, but, as thus far adopted, it leaves the homestead provision substantially as it is in thepresent Constitution. The article on penal and charitable in stitutions passed its third reading-being first amended by striking out the provis ion for a State board of charities and cor rection. The article on finance and taxation caused long and earnest discussion. Among the changes made in the tax system now existing are these: The legislature. is authorized to levy a graduated tax on in comes. The property of towns and cities, used for non-municipal purposes (such property as stores and opera houses) is made subject to taxation. There was a long fight over a proposition to lay a specific tax on dogs. This motion was defeated, but there is retained a pro vision that "the general assembly may im pose a capitation tax upon such domestic animals as from their nature and habits are destructive of other property." Neither counties nor townships are to be allowed to isaue bonds in aid of railroads, and the legislature is prohibited from giv ing sucb, authority. The fiscal year is made to commence on the first day of January. State bonds hereafter issued must run not more that 40 years. The old clause respecting State debts contracted "in aid of the rebellion" was stricken out. In the exemption of property from taxes only such as is actually used for education al, charitable or religious purposes ir in cluded. An ordinance proposed by Mr. MoMahan to protect forestry and promote good roads was killed after much debate. A resolution was passed directing that ordinances and resolutions passed by the convention should be delivered into the custody of the Secretary of State. The convention omitted the night session on Saturday. and adjourned until 12 in., on Monday. BUCKLEN'S ARMCA SALVE.
