Captain James Witherspoon of the Fork

recently walked from his home to Man

the Times a social visit last Friday. He
looks hale and hearty, and the fatigues
usually attendant upon one of his age from
such a journey left no trace upon his genial
countenance. The weather permitting, he
will meake a trip to Camden-a distance of
some thirty miles-on or about the 25th of
next month.

At this season of the year fish, oysters,

Company of Charleston, one of the largest
handlers of these delicious articles of diet,
have an advertisement in this paper in
which they solicit the patronage of the
people of this section. 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

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. Remember, every sub
scriber paid up to March 1st, 1896. will
have a chance to get a sewing machine,
the price of which is $t5. Send in your
money.
We know whereof we affirm when we
state that Ayer's pills. taken promptly at
the first symptoms of colds and fevers, ar
rest further progress -of these disorders,
and speedily restore the stomach, liver and
bowels to their normal and regular action.
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. It would be a saving of time and
money if E xperimenters took Ayer's Sarsa
parilla at first instead of at last.

TO THE ATLANTA EXPOSITION.
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.

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

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.

THE OONVENTION.
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.
