Every young man ought to buy a piece of land even if he has to bay it on credit. L*nd in this county will never be cheaper than it is now, and the outlook is that it will greatly increase in value. Every young man ought to have a home. Now is the time to buy. * e • Governor Heyward removed Magis trate Ulmer of Barnwell county Inst weak for hi • failure to properly protect two negroes from lynching. We hearti ly commend the Governor in his notion in this respect. If the local officials had the grit to do their duty under each cir cumstances there would be few, if any lynching* In the state of South Coro- Una. In nearly every case where a lynching occurs you can generally put it down that the officers are in sympathy with the action of the mob. And when it is reported to higher authorities the real degtigenoe of the officers is never known. To hear the officer tell it, he was ruthlessly overpowered, bat no doubt in many caeca the overpowering andlfriqg of pistola wee all understood before, nja gratifying to know that we now have a Chief Magistrate who hea the manhood to remove an offioer for neglect to do hia duty. If every Magistrate and every sheriff apd every deputy anew that his job would go if hs failed to protect bis prisoner, there jo would be few lynching* in this or any other state. o' * * * ' We are grateful for the large number of subscribers who have paid up prompt ly in advance and also for the liberal advertisements of our business friends.

The following resolution* we think are worthy the serious thought of every one at the beginning of this new year, they cover the entire ground: “To be joyous in my work, moderate io my pleasure, chary in my ocnfi- dances, faithful in my friendships; to he energetic, hot not excitable, enthu siastic but not fanatical; loyal to the troth as 1 see it, but ever open minded to the new light; to abhor gush as 1 would profanity and hate cant as 1 would a lie; to be careful in my promises, punctual iu my engagements, candid with myself, and frank with ethers; to discourage shams and rejoice in all that is beautiful and trne : to do my work and live my life so that neither •hall require defense or apology; to honor no one simply because he is rich or famous, and despise no one because hnmble or poor; tobe gentle and con siderate toward the weak, respectful yet self-respecting toward the great, courteous to all, obsequious to none; to seek wisdom from great books and in spiration from good men; to invigorate my mind with noble thoughts as I do my body with sunshine and fresh air; to prise all sweet human friendships and to seek to make at least one home happy; so have charity for the erring, sympathy for the sorrowing, cheer for the despondent; to leave the world a little better off because of me; and to mve it; when I most, bravely and cheerfully with faith io God and good will to all my fellow men—this »Haii be my endeavor daring the coming year.” —The Gongregationalist. bis mother, Mrs J M Hiers.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall’s Oatarrh is the only posi tive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu tional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh<3ure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces ot the sys tem, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building np the oousatntion and assisting natue in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Bend for list testimonials. Address:F. J. Cheney 4k Oo, Toledo, O.

There is probably no disease that causes so much physical and mental agouyt or which so success fully defies medical aid. All danger from the grip, however, may be avoided by the prompt use ofChamberlaiu’s Cough Rem edy* Among the tens of thousands who have used th>s remedy, not one case has ever been reported that has resulted In pneumonia or that has not recovered.
