There has been over $600 paid into the county treasury this year for seed cotton licenses, and still there are comiplaints abut parties violating the law. The Sn ervisor has had the duty imposed upon iii by the grand jury to indict the violat ors, and unless those engaged in the illicit traffic come forward soon, there will be a rich harvest of fines added to the licenses already in the treasury. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve has the larg est sade of any salve in the world. This fact and its merit has led dishonest people to attemp~t to counterfeit it. Look out foi the man who attempts to deceive you whet: you call for DeWitt-s Witch Hazel Saive,th great pile cure. Rl. B. Loryea, Manning -r wV Nt. crstn- II T.

There was a report last week in genera circulation, to the effect that the notorious Gus Deas Lad escaped fro:a t he peniten tiarv authoritieo. and was roaming at large. We went to Columbia and inquired of the authorities as to the truth ot this report. Colonel Neal with his usual courtesy. look ed up the record and found that Deas is safe and sound at the Clemson College farm and that there is no truth in the repoit of his escape. When a bad character is at large other devils do their devilment in Lis name, so if their is any stealing,. burning, or other crimnes in this county it need not be blamed on Gus Deas. -A stubborn cough or tickling in the roat yields to One Minute Cough Cure.

There are strong evidences ot The exis tance of illicit whiskey selling in this town. The fall season is on ns, and the principal income of the town comes from the disp n sary profits,the council should give the p0 lice strict instructions to pull the tigers fron their lairs. Every drop of blind tig-r whiskey sold either from restaurants, frmit stands, stores, or elsewhere is that much money taken from the town trensury and it should be stopped. If the council find themselves unable to have the illicit selling stopped with their present force, let theni employ a detective, or apply to the gover nor for one. If tney will do this we believe they will collect enough fines to bear the expense and they will ascertain whether or not there has been any "winking the other eye," and finally rid the town of the pest.

There is a strong probabihty of the Wil son and Summerton railroad being extend ed to Camden. Capt. Wilson, the owner of the road, has already advertised his in tention to apply to the General Assembly for a charter. The Sumter Item, in speak ing of this application, says: "i'his may be a bluff," Those who know Capt. Thomas Wilson know he is not of the bluffing kind and whenever he determines on a course,it is business; one of his strongest character istics is determination, and he never at tempts to do anything without first study ing its every detail. Now that Captain Wilson has signified his intention to ex tend the Wilson and Summerton road, be fore another year rolls round the whistle of his engines will be heard in the city of Camden. The people of Sumter shoul.i, if they are alive to their interests, lend every enouragen.ent to the successful accomplis ment of this pioject. When Tou call for DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve, the great pile care, don't accept any thing else. Don't be talked into accepting a substitute for piles, for sores, for burns. R. B. Loryea, Manning; L. W. Nettles, For eston; H. L. Wilson, Jordan. Our readers wvill remeriber when Mr. S. R. Tobias, a respectable citizen of this county, left here to go to Colorado to join his daughter, who went off with a Mormon elder to be married in the temple of the Mormon faith. The old gentleman has re cently written to a friend, and his letter should be a warning to others who have been deluded by the oi lv-tongue elders that have been visiting these parts. He is anxious to get back to his homue an d kin ded and he save. "WVe have been badIly de ceived, for we diid not find the Iorumons to be the people we expected to rind; they lack much of living up to what they teach, and it did not take very long to catch on to Ithe wvar some of thenm lved." 3Mr. Tobias 'is anxious to get back and he woutd appre ciate any aid he might receive that will help him come home. The whole letter is teeming with discontent, not only with the deception practiced upon him, but the country is also a disappointment. When Xr. TVobias does return the people of this county will not open their dors to Mlor mon elders as freely as they dlid once. For broken surfaces, sores, i r.eet bites, bnrns, skin diseases and especially piles there ir, only one reliable remnedy, De .'itt's IWitch Hazel Salve.

(Ocala, Fla., Star, Oct. 6.) The news that Sheriff B. DuPre Hodge had died at 12 o'clock yester day caine as a shock but not as a sur prise, as it was known for several days that he was very low and the worst might be expected. though it was hoped that he might be left to his motherless children, but in his infinite wisdom God saw fit to take him to dwell with his beloved wife, who preceded him only four days to the spirit land. Such an unparal leled instance of sadness was never known in this State, unless during some prevailing epidemic, where both the husband and wife would be stricken down almost at the same time and pass away so near together. breaking up and destroying forever such a happy and pleasant home. The funeral services took place from the Baptist church at 11 o'clock, conducted by Dr. J. G. Law of the Presbyterian church, assisted by Rev. W. E. Bogart, the Baptist pas tor. The services were conducted and the burial took place under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias, Knights of Honor and the Fraternal Union jointly, he having been a member of each. There were over a hundred members of the lodges pres ent, and the church was crowded to its fullest capacity by friends of the deceased. The floral tributes were many and beautiful. At the ceme tery surrounded by his sorrowing brethren and friends, the body was laid to rest by the side of the loved one, whose grave the flowers had Ihardl had time to wilt. Ben DuPre Hodge was born near Manning, S. C., Jainuary 29, 1852. He moved to Hillsboro county, Florida, in 1882 and embarked in the orange industry, but the following year he came to Marion county, located in the settlement known as Elmwood, where he was successful as a trucker, general farmer and orange grower. It wvas here he met Mrs. Martha J. Libaugh. Their acquaintance rip ened into love which led to marriage. Their union was blessed with three children, two of whom survive thelr parents. Several years later Mr. Hodge moved to Ocala and became proprietor of what was known as the old Central Hotel, now the St. Denis, on North Magnolia street, and, as in everything Mr. Hodge attempted, he became a very popular and success ful landlord. During the years lhe ran the hotel he never lost interest in his farm, in fact maintained a steady interest in the tilling of the soil to the day of his death. In the fall of 1891 Mr. Hodge be came a candidate for sheriff, his op ponents being P. H. Nugent and A. R. Griffin, and so close was the vote that a second primary was held, in which hie led Mr. Nugent by a small majority. So popular grew Mr. Hodge as a citizen and faithful and accommodat in official that in his last race for shriff, although he had several op ponents, he beat them all by a big majority. As officer and citizeu, Mr. Hodge held the confidence and respect of the entire community, as well as among his extensive acquaintance through the State. He had few ene mies and almost every man was his friend. He was the soul of honor in all business transactions, and his word was taken as readily as would have been his bond. He fearlessly discharged his official duties in a thoughtful and businesslike manner, and many deeds of crime have been ferreted out and the guilty brought Ito justice by his vigilance. in miatters pertaining to the ad vancement and upbuilding of his town and county, in deeds of charity and all good works, none were more zealous than lie, and no one in want or distress ever called on him in vaiin. Through the long days of illness and suffering lie manifested a Christ ian fortitude and calmness~and when told that he must die, said he was ready to go. The entire community mourns with the orphan children, who have, in less than a week, been deprived of both father and mother. Mr. Hiodge had $5,000 insurance that is known of-81,000 in the F. U. of A., $2,000 in the K. of P. and $2,000 in theK. of H. .a~ a ~TheKind Yu avAlays Blight A man always puts his best foot forward; a mule puts his backward. n-lable to Women.
