50 Per Cent of the Cotton Brought to the Sum ter Market is Bought By the DcLevi E3ros. Because we are in touch with those who make advance con tracts, and who are able to put us in position to pay more for cotton than any other buyers in our city. But our cotton business is only an addition to our 'GEN ERAL MERCANTILE Business. We have by our dilli gence made ourselves leaders in trade, not by waiting for trade to come to us. but by our reaching out and coming in touch with the farmers of the country, and selling them Goods as cheap as the lowest, and giving to them for their products as much or more than the highest. These are facts that have been demonstrated by our con tinued increase of business. We want our friends to come to Sumter and look through our immense stock of Dry Gcods, L)ress'Gcoods1, Fari cy GCoods arc Notions, Cloth inzg, Shoes, H ate and the l et line of Plartetiori arid Farxi1y Groceries in the City.

Hiving things is the serpent, and the vilest and most degrading of all human diseases is Contagious Blood Poison. The serpent sinks its fangs into the :Hesh and ahnost instantly the poison passes through the entire body. Contagious Blood Poison, beginning with a little 1ilcer, soon contaminates every drop of blood and spreads throughout the whole system. Painful swellings appear in the groins, a red rash and copper colored. splotches break out on the body, the mouth and throat become ulcerated, and the hair and eye brows fall out ; but these symptoms are mild compared to the wretchedness and suffering that come in the latter stages of the disease when it attacks the bones and more vital parts of the body. It is then that Contagious Blood Poison is seen in all its hideous ness. The deep eating abscesses and sickening ulcers and tumors show the whole system is corrupted and poisoned, and unless relief comes soon this serpent disease tightens its coils and crushes out the life. The only antidote for the awful virus is S. S. S. It is natua'e's reedy, com posed entirely of vegetable ingredients. S. S. S. destroys every vestige of the poison, purifies the blood and removes all danger of transmitting the awful taint to others. Nothing else will do this. Strong mineral remedies, like mercury and potash, dry up the sores and drive in the disease, but do not cure permanently.

PRIMROSE dawn of spring touched the mountains as Mme. de Ferrier and I stepped into the tunnel's mouth. The underground path to De Chaumont's manor descended by ter races of steps and entered blackness. The ground -was slippery, and thick darkness seemed to press the soul out of the body. Yet I liked it, for when we reached the staircase of rock that entered the house she would vanish. And so it was. She did say, "Good night-and good morning." And I answered, "Good morning and good night" On reaching my room, the first thing I did was to make a bundle of every thing I considered necessary and de sirable. There was no reason for do ing this before lying down, but with an easier mind I closed my eyes and opened them to find sunset shining through the windows and Dr. Chantry keeping guard in an armchair at my side. "Nature has taken her revenge on you, my lad," said he. "And now I am going to take mine." "I have slept all day!" "Renegades who roam the woods all night must expect to sleep all day." "How do you know I have been in the woods all night?" "I heard you slipping up the tunnel stairs without any shoes on at day light. I have not been able to sleep two nights on account of you." "Then why don't you go to bed your self, my dear master?" "Because I am not going to let you give me the slip another time. I am responsible for you, and you will have me on your back when you go prowl ing abroad again." "Again?" I questioned innocently. "Yes, again, young sir! I have been through your luggage and find that you have packed changes of clothing and things necessary and unnecessary to a journey-even books." There was no escaping his tenacious grip. He sat by and exercised me in Latin declensions while I dressed. We had our supper together. I saw no member of the household except the men Pierre and Jean. Dr. Chantry or dered a mattress put in my room and returned there with me. We talked long on the approaching departure of the count and Mime. de Ferrier. He told me the latei.t details of preparation and tremulously ex plained how he must feel the loss of his sister. "I have nothing left but you, La zarre." "My dear master," I said, patting one of his shriveled hands between mine. "I am going to be open with you." I sat on the side of my bed facing his armchair, and the dressing glass relected his bald head and my young head drawn near together. "Did you ever feel as if you were a prince?" Dr. Chantry wagged a pathetic nega tie. "Haven't you ever been ready to dare anything and everything because something in you said-I must?" Again Dr. Chantry wagged a nega tive. "Now I have to break bounds--I have to leave the manor and try my fortune. I can't wait for times and f0 "He is going to Prance!" seasons-to be certain of this, to be certain of that. I am going to leave the house tonight, and I am going to France!" "My God"' cried Dr. Chantry, spring ing up. "He is going to France! Rouse the servants! Call De Chau mont!" H~e struck his gouty foot against the chair and sat down, nurs ing it in both hands. I restrained him and added my sympathy to his groans. "Have you as much as a Spanish real of your own, my lad?" he cate chised me when the foot was easy. I acknowledged that I had not "It costs dear to travel about the world. It is not like coming down the trail from St. Regis to Lake George. How are you to travel without money ?" I laughed at the very uncertainty and answered that money would be found. "You're bitten, my poor lad! It's plain what ails you. You might as well try to swim the Atlantic. De Chaumoit intends her for himself, and In the unjust distribution of this world your rival has the power and you have the feelings. Stay where you are. You'll never forget it, but it will hurt less as years go~ by." "Master," I said to him, "good sense is on your side, but if I knew I should perish I would have to go." And I added from fullness of con viction: "I would rather undertake to do something and perish than live a thou sand years as I am." Dr. Chantry struck the chair arm with his clinched fist. "My lad, so would I, so would I! I wish I had been dowered with your spirit! I'm going with you!" As soon as he had made this em barrassing resolution my master blew his nose and set his British jaws firm ly together. I felt my own jaw drop. "Have you as much as a Spanish real of your own?" I quoted. "That I have, young sir, and some American notes, such as they are, and good English pndsnesides." L CAT HERWOOD $ccrrounding the Fate of the rvi. and Marie Antoinette) WEN-ME R.ILL COMPANY Aialim7 yua'now now 'to-reach the seaport?" "Since I came that way I can return that way. You have youth, my lad, but I have brains and experience." "It's plain what ails you, Dr. Chan try, and you might as well try to swim the Atlante." The more I reasoned with him the more obstinate he became. There was a wonderful spring called Saratoga, which he had visited with De Chau mont a few years before as they came Into the wilderness. He was convinced that the water would set him on foot for the rest of the journey. "What will you do in France?" I put to him. He knew no more than I what I should do. And there was Count de Chaumont to be considered. How would he re gard a leave taking? Dr. Chantry was as insensible to De Chaumont as I myself. Still he agreed to write a note to his protector while I prepared my quill to write one to Mme. de Ferrier. With the spirit of the true parasite he laid all the blame on me, and said he was constrained by duty to fellow and watch over me, since it was impossible to curb a na ture like mine. And he left a loophole open for a future return to De Chau mont's easy service when the hard ships which he willingly faced brought him his reward. This paper he brazenly showed me while I was struggling to beg Mme. de Ferrier's pardon and to let her know ,that I ained at something definite whether I ever reached port or not. CHAPTER X. " s HIS is fine!" said Dr. Chan try when we descended from the rough stage which had brought us across a cordu roy trail and found ourselves at the entrance of a spacious wooden tavern. "When I passed Saratoga before there were only three log houses, and the inn had two rooms below and one above. It was lighted by pine torches stuck in the chinks of the wall-and see how candles shine through these windows!" A man who appeared to be the host met us, his sprightly interest in our welfare being tempered by the con sciousness of having many guests, and told us the house was full, but he would do what he could for us. "Why is the house full?" fretted Dr. Chantry. "You see, we are full of politicians from Washington. They crowd to the spring." My master turned his nose like the inflamed horn of a unicorn against the politicians from Washington, and trot ted to the fireplace, where blazing knots cheered a great taproom set with many tables and benches. And there rested Skenedonk in si lent gravity, toasting his moccasins. The Iroquois had long made Saratoga a gathering place, but I thought of this Oneida as abiding in St. Regis village, for our people did not come to the sum mer hunting in May. Forgetting that I was a runaway, I met him heartily and the fawn eyes in his bald head beamed their accus tomied luster upon me. I asked him where my gther and mother and the rest of the t'ribe were, and he said they had not left St. Regis. "And why are you so early?" I in qired. He had been at Montreal and had un dertaken to guide a Frenchman as far as Saratoga. It is not easy to surprise an Indilan. But I wondered that Shen edonk accepted my presence without a question, quite as If he had himself made the appointment. The Indian led me upstairs to one of the chambers and opened the door. In the room was Louis Philippe, and when we were shut alone together he embraced me and kissed me as I did Inot know men embraced and kissed. "Do you know Skenedonk?" I ex claimed. "If you mean the Indian who brought you at my order. he was my guide from Montreal." "But he was not with you at the potter's ( amp." "Yes, he was in the hut. wrapped In his blanket, and after you drove the door in he heard all that was said. Lazarre"-Louis Philippe took my face in his hands-"make a clean breast of We sat down and I told him without being questioned what I was going to Ido. He gravely considered. "I saw you enter the house and had a suspicion of your undertaking. It is Ithe worst venture you could possibly make at this time. We will begin with my family. Any belief in you into which I may have been betrayed 'is no guarantee of Monsieur's belief. You understand," said Louis Philippe, "tat Monsieur stands next to the thronie if there is- no dauphin or an idiot dauphin?" I said I understood. "Monsieur is not a bad man. But Bellenger, who took charge of the dau phin, has in some manner and for some reason provided himself with a substa tute, and he utterly denies you. Fur ther. supposing that you are the heir of France, restored to your family and proclaimed, of what use is it to present yourself before the French people now? They are besotted with this Napoleon. The empire seems to them a far great er thing than any legitimate monarchy. Of what use, do I say ? It would be a positive danger for you to appear in France at this time! Napoleon has proscribed every Bourbon. Any prince caught alive in France will be put to death. Do you know what he did last year to the Duke d'Enghien? He sent into Germany for the duke, who had never harmed him, never conspired against him-had done nothing, in fact, except live an innocent life away from the seat of Napoleon's power. The duke was brought to Paris under guard and put in the dungeons of Vincennes. He demanded to see Bonaparte. Bona parte would not see him. He was tried by night, his grave being already dug in the castle ditch. That lovely young fellow-he was scarcely above thirty-was taken our: to the ditch and shot like a dog!" I stood up with my hands clinched. "Sit down," said Louis Philippe. "There is no room in the world at this time for anybody but that jealous mon ster." "He shall not tie ne here," I said. "You intend to go?" "This Bonaparte," said Louis Phi lippe. "has his trochles. His brother Jerome has marred an American in Baltimore. A fine explosion that will make when it reaches his ears! Where are you going to lad, Lazarre?" I said ihat must depend on the ship I took. "And what are you going to do when you land?" I said I would think that out later. Then the spirit being upon me, I burst bounds and told him impetuously that I was going to learn what the world held for me. Without means, without friends or power or prospects or certainty of any good results-im pudent, reckless, utterly rash-"I am going," I cried, "because I must go!" "There is something about you which inspires love, my boy," said Louis Philippe, and I heard him with as tonishment. "Perhaps it comes from the mother. She was a witcher of all mankind." "I cannot understand why any one should love so ignorant a creature, but God grant there be others that love me, too, for I have lived a life stinted of all affection. And, indeed, I did not know I wanted it until last year. When we talked late the other night and you told me the history of all my family the cruelest part of my lot seemed the separation from those that belonged to me. Separation from what is our own ought not to be im posed upon us even by God himself!" "What!" said Louis Philippe. "Is he .following a woman?" My face burned and probably went white, for I felt the blood go back on my heart. He took my hand and stroked it. "Don't chain yourself behind that chariot. Walt a little while for your good star to rise. I wish I had money. I wish I could be of use to you in France. I wish I stood nearer to Mon sieur, for your sake. Every one must love this bold, pure face. It bears some resemblance to Mime. Royal. The sister of the dauphin is a good girl, not many years .your senior, much dominated by her uncles, but a royal duchess. It is the fashion now to laugh at chivalry. You are the most foolish example of it I ever saw. It is like seeing a knight without horse, armor or purse, set out to win an equipment before he pursues his quest. Yet I love you for it, my boy." "It would be well for me if I had more friends like you." "Why,-I can be of no use. I cannot I go back to France at this time, and if I could, what is my influence there? I must wander around in foreign parts, a private gentleman eking out my liv ing by some kind of industry. What are you going to do with the fretful old fellow you have with you?" I groaned and laughed. "Carry him on my back. There is no getting rid of him. He is following me to France. He is my lesson mas ter." "How will you support him?" "He is supporting me at present. But I would rather take my chances alone." "You have another follower," said Louis Philippe. "Your Indian has been in France, and after hearing our talk at the camp he foresaw you might be moved to this folly and told me he intended to guide you there or wher ever you go!" "And Skenedonk too!" I shook with laughter. It was so like Skenedonk to draw his conclusions and determine on the next step. "What shall I do with them?" "The old master can be your secre tary, and as for the Indian, you can take him for your servant." "A secretary and a servant for an outcast without a penny to his pouch!" "You see the powers that order us are beginning well with you. Starting with a secretary and a servant, you may end with a full household and a court! I ought to add my poor item of tribute, and this I can do. There is a shipmnaster taking cargo this month in New York bay who Is a devoted royalist, a Breton sailor. For a letter from mec he will carry you and your suit to the other side of the world, but you will have to land in his port." "And what will the charges be?" "Nothing except gratitude if I put the case as strongly to him as I intend to do. God knows, I may be casting a foul lot for you. His ship is stanch, rigged like the Italian salt ships. But it is dirty work crossing the sea, and. there is always danger of falling Into the hands of pirates. Are you deter mined?" I looked him in the eyes and said I was, thanking him for all his goodness to one who had so little expectation of requiting him. The sweet heartiness of an older man so far beyond myself in prinicely attainments and world knowledge. who couid stoop to such a raw savage, took mec by -storm. I asked him if he had any Idea who the idiot was that we had seen in Bel lenger's camp. He shook his head. re We cop- dtevlme'fe upr te pomple whe oltes wfere some. times glad to get rid of them. "The dauphin clew has been very cleerly managed by--Bellenger, let us say," Louis Philippe remarked. "If you had not appeared, I should not now believe there is a dauphin." I wanted to tell him all the thoughts tossing in my mind, but silence is some times better than open speech. Facing advuture, I remembered that I had never known the want of food for any length of time during my conscious life. And I had a suspicion the soft life at De Chaumnout's had unstrung me for what was before me. But it lasted scarce a year, and I was built for hardship. He turned to his table to write the shipmaster's letter. Behold, there lay a book I knew so well that I exclaimed: "Where did you get my missal?" "Your missal, Lazarre? This is mine?" I turned the leaves and looked at the back. It was a continuation of the prayers of the church. There were a~nkavre for the inscribing of pray. ers, itin Ui-was wrettn out mn~t goodj bold hand. "IIls majesty Louis XVI. composed and wrote that prayer himself," said Louis Philippe. "The comfort loving priests had a fashion of dividing the missal into three or four parts, that a volume might not be so heavy to carry about in their pockets. This is the second volume. It was picked up in the Tuileries after that palace was sacked." I told him mine must be the preced ing volume, because I did not know there was any continuation. The pray ers of the church had not been my study. "Where did you get yours, Lazarre?" "Mime. de Ferrier gave it to me. When I saw it I remembered, as if my head were split open to show the pie ture, that my mother had read from that very book to me. I cannot explain it, but so it was." "I am not surprised she believes, against Bellenger's evidence, that you are Louis of France." "I will bring my book and show it to you." We compared the volumes after sup per, and one was the mate of the other. My master was so tired that I put. him early to bed and then sat talking nearly all night with the gracious gen tleman to whom I felt bound by grati tude and by bicod. [TO BE CONTINUED.] NEW YORK'S NIGHT HAWKER The Owl Cabmen Who Haunt Its Ten derloin District. Just where Broadway crosses Sixth avenue at Thirty-third street is to be found a dingy triangular little park plot in which a few gas stunted, smoke stained trees make a brave attempt to keep alive. On two sides of the trian gle surface cars whirl restlessly, while overhead the elevated trains'rattle and shriek. This part of the metropolis knows little difference between day and night, for the cars never cease, the arc lights blaze from dusk until dawn, and the pavements are never wholly empty. Locally the section is sometimes called "the Cabman's Graveyard." During any hour of the twenty-four you may find waiting along the curb a line of public carriages. By day you will sometimes see smartly kept han soms, well groomed horses and drivers in neat livery. But at night the character of the line changes. The carriages are mostly one horse closed cabs, rickety as to wheels, with torn and faded cushions, license numbers obscured by various devices and rate cards always missing. The horses are dilapidated, too, and the drivers, whom you will generally find nodding on the box or sound asleep inside their cabs, harmonize with their rigs. These are the night hawkers of the Tenderloin. The name is not an assur ing one, but it is suspected that it has been aptly given.-Sewell Ford in "Horses Nine." Costly Books. When Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll was living in Peoria he was called uon one day by General John A. Lo gan, says the' New York Times. The colonel was upstairs at the tine, and General Logan was ushered into .the library, where on a table were three volumes of Voltaire's works, an edition de luxe representing all that was best in' the bookbinder's art. General Lo gan picked them up one at a time, ab sorbed in his admiration of their beau ties. While so engaged Colonel Inger soll entered the room. "Colonel," said the general, holding one of the volumes in his hands, "this is the most magnificent volume I have| ever seen. I do not want to seem im pertinent, but would you mind telling me what these books cost you?" "Those books," began the colonel, the twinkle in his eye growing brighter at each word. "cost me-the governorship of Illinois." Morally Certain of It. The prosecuting witness, wbd had a lump over one eye, a black and blue spot under the other, a nose that point ed decidedly awry and various strips of courtplaster on his face evidently arranged without any regard to their artistic effect, testified that the de fendant had knocked him senseless and then kicked him in the head and face for several minutes. "If he knocked you senseless," asked the police justice, "how do you know he kicked you after you were down ?" The witness scratched his jaw and reflected. "I know it, jedge," he replied, "'cause that's what I'd 'a' done to him If I'd got him down. You can bet on thatl"-Chicago Record-Herald. The Duke's' "Thirteen Clock." An ingenious timekeeping arrange ment exists todaiy which was designed by that famous Duke of Bridgewater who laced South Lancashire with ca nals and died a hundred years. ago. The duke was a great stickier for punc tuality, and he was annoyed that the workmen on his estate at Worsley did not returu to work after dinner as promptly as they left off when the clock struck 12. When he remonstrat ed, he was told that while the work men always heard the clock strike 12, they often failed to hear the single stroke of 1. The Duke of Bridgewater quickly found a remedy for this diffi culty. He had a elock made that would strike thirteen times an hour after noon, and that clock proclaims 1 o'clock with a baker's dozen of sono rous strokes to this day. The "thir teen clock" is one of the curiosities of Worsly Hall.-Westminster Gazette. The Wonders of Color. A small and simple experiment can be tried by any reader which will go far to convince him or her what a debt we owe to color and what a good thing It is we have sunlight, which enables our eyes to take advantage of the beau tiful hues of nature. Make a room quite dark and then burn some carbon ate of soda In the flame of a bunsen gas burner. It will burn with an or ange yellow light sufficiently strong to illuminate everything In the room, but you will realize with a sudden shock tat bright though the light Is, all dis tinctions of color have vanished. Only light and shade remain. A crimson carnation, a blue violet, a red table loth, a yellow blind--all look gray or~ black or white. The faces of those present look positively repulsive, for all natuil color has disappeared. No other experiment will so well con vince those who have witnessed it how great a loss would be that of our sense or color._____ ____ The Trouble With Him.
