Howeve;*, the turning point ha9 been reached, and the main liitti-j cu I ties passed. The board ofdi-j rectoi s, after an exhaustive con-! ference with Mr. Stephen Green. of Boston, the celebrated mill arclutect, have determined upen all plans. The building is to be of 10,000 spindle rapacity, with three series, i and its exact site has tern slaked \ out. Every minute detail, even to j the smallest piece of machinery, isj, ready at any day. The canal, the j dam, and the tail-race have been j1 precisely located, giving twenty feet ; fall, and four hundred horse power. j Contracts building and develop ing the water power have' been i definitely arranged, undep thesuper- 1 visionof a competent engineer, Mr. A, V. Walker. There has also been some uneasi J 1 ness at the failure of the contractor * to make first class brick from the clay on the compares land, but ' there is no cause for alarm here. The contractor may loses* methinji, but the company, not a dollar. The experiment was his, and his the risk, ! and if any loss is unfortunately incurred, the loss also will be his In the course of a few weeks the foundation otthe mill will he laid in cement, with 200,000 prime flint brick. Fears on this subject, there fore are groundless. H is only to be hoped that ali the other requi sites will co m* as easily as the brick. The plans, ; therefore are ready, and the worK of carrying tliein in to effect has commenced in earnest. The business men at the lielm are not acquainted with failure. They have fully earned, and deserVe the confidence of our people, and if heartily supported, will cleave the way to a new. "prosperity. All hands to the work; only the will is needed to make Camden the Pearl of Carolina. In r recent communication to The Chkonici.e, the Hon. W. F. Russell expresses himself in favor of prohibition, but sayslhat he has not yet decided how he will vote on the"Clilds Bill." Of the three members of the legislature froiu this county that have publicly ex pressed their opinion, two are in favor of prohibition, and one op posed. The Combat deepens. # "*Mr. Schrock replies to Major Magi!!, nod maintains his original position. Maj. Jas. R. Magill's quotation of my remarks in The Messenger of April 28th, 1891 is correct, and I still insist that I did not make use of the term "better element," acd in defence of the position assumed by me in the article referred to, 1 re-affirm that the former "Ring" in South Carolina did not put forward a candidate in opposition to the Democratic party during the lust campaign. The Haskell movement last year was not the result of con certed action on the part of the "Ring" then existing, as the placing in the field of a ticket in opposition the regular Democratic nominees met with strenuous opposition from almost eYery leider of prominence in the state, which shows conclus ively that it was an independent movement, pure and simple, which bad its origin in the bitter opposi tion to Mr. Tillman of a few parties some instances he held ^^^^Bj^ijg^Uacktd during the inwarrani campaign o? education! My own position daring and before the apening of that campaign is well known, as in the pofetal-card v?te ??t the Xevaand Courier, before the March convention, miDe stands ie corded thus : First choice for G?*v enor ? Johnson Hagood, one ot the first farmers in the slate, a ninn of iron will and steadfastness of pur pose, and one who e>nld and would have harmonized every discordant element within the party had h? been chosen. Set-oud choice, B. R Tillman, a-< the man'who had work -ed unceasingly for years to brinj abouVtfltelrreiorms as he, with man; other progressive spirits, though necessary to place South Caroiin in her proper sphere rraong her sis ter states. If I mistake not, Maj. Magillan 1 other prominent leader* -in thi* county, also participated injthat pos tai-cairi contest, and it ptg-ht be in terestingto the people to know in whose favor they east their votes. This, 1 think covers pretty thorough ly the first ground in the argument.' Passing to the second, I thank the major for calling my attention ;p the injustice done the grocery j clerk class, aud 1 hasten to aa9ure them, that in coupling them with politicians, my intention - was to show the vast diffeience between the two callings, or occupations. The average grocery clerk has a harder lot than, the average farmer, while the politician, be feaay ^it lie should ! i takes life lucky fellow) the hardest work he has toj do being to cudgel his brain just j betore the opening of a campaign ktQ decide on which side of the fence to jump, and to took over the flies of the Xaliouai Economist and other, jojajf rials. caHing^mt a passage here, ir yonder,*' and stringing them tljiNPASLOri^ip.aiJtrticleo for pub I li cation in aewrspaper. itlCian? , yW*?. ji^toption on first, to consider myself belm of ttstet fur govern* farmerscof M 3-1: w half a century's experience on how and what to plant &c.t bat when conservative men from every section of the county came to me, and with I a cordial grasp of the hand, in kind ly words, congratulated me apon ray efforts to elevate and broaden the political and domestic ideas of the people above the low plains to which certain time-serving politici ans would degrade them, it ceased to be presumption, and should more! properly l?e called patriotism. Now. for the last point of wLich . I take notice in Maj. Magill's amus j ing article, "he considers himself: competent to give lessons to hens on j Lhe incubation ofeggsdc". ^ Some years since, any passer h^ the DeKalb House could, at almost any hour of the day, see a certain gentleman sitting in the piazza. An r?!d friend of mine halted me on the street one day, and after making fine remarks concerning' m> adver tisement for setting hens pointed to , tii sit gentleman, who was occupying' his usual position ,said, "Schrock, 1 advised r ? to payle a few feathers on him and hire himself to you as i "setter". So with Maj Magill. If he will paste a plentiful coat of feathers on the proper por- ; Lions of his anatomy, I should like} to engage him as I understand that j he is a good "setter", passing the greater part of his time at his de*k, writh:g up lhe wrongs of in farmer*.

The harsh, drastic purgatives, once deemed indispensable to a "thorough cleaning out" of the system, have given place to milder and more skilfully-prepared laxatives. Foremost among these are Ayer's Pills. Being composed of the essential principles of the most effective cathartics, without calomel or any other injurious drug, no ill cifects ever follow their use. For this reason, these Pills are everywhere recommended as the best family medicine. Their sugrar-coating makes them easy to take, and preserves their medicinal strength in any climate .44 and for an indefinite length of time. ??
