4U1V1-; THIS MILITIA J I'STICK,
v
"The Abbeville jail is Win;; earrfully '
guarded every night by n Torre of militia |i
to prevent the roscue of r'er^uson. the tl
white man who r?'<;??ntly murdered a
clerk. The fJountv Comiuis.-MotMMK
have agreed to pay the expenses of tin* "
arrangement, and some of the taxpayeas t
are writing indignant letters Jo the news- j
papers declaring that there is nut the
slightest idea of rescuing Furgixon, and
that the whole business is an expensive
absurdity." i
We copy the above from the Green- t
ville JVe<r.*, and do so because it contains \
an inaccuracy that ought to be corrected. <
The Abbeville jail is not being guarded I
by t force of militia. When the report i
was first known that an attempt would t
be made to rescue Ferguson, the SherilF
called on the officer commanding the
Abbeville Tlifles for a guard for the jail,
which was furnished every night for ^
a week or more. This guard has not j
received any paj% and didn't expect any. f
When the County Commissioners au- r
thorized <he Sheriff to hire a guard the t
militia was withdrawn, and has not j
been on gaurd since. The militia has t
not been the cause of the expenditure ,,
of a single rent of public money. We
say this 111 behalf of the young men who
promptly responded to the orders of j
their officers without an}' thought or t
expectation of reward. As to the absurd- ?
ity of which the yen's speaks, we think j
ourselves there is 110 necessity now for
guarding the jail. Rut there is no question
that at one time some of Ferguson's r
friends did talk of trying to rescue him. f
He himself admits this, and wo are in
possession of other facts that go to
prove it. Whether the scheme ever
took definite shape wo do not know.
We don't believe it did. At any rate, f
wo believe there is no longer any thought C
of ajrescue, and if one were attempted, I
ihore would be no difficulty in repelling c
it. t
We are sure the Greenville A'cirs will I
do the "militia" the justice to correct \
Us article as to them. The duty was f
lar irom pleasant or hgreoable, ami they a
do not care to have in addition to that s
the charge put upon them of having been 'I
hired for the service. i
K. OF H. c

The mutual plan of Life Insurance *
has almost driven what are known as the 1
Old Line Companies out of the business s
in this section of the State. The mutual 1
plan is simply that, instead of the insured
paying an annual assessment upon a cer- 11
tain sum, he is only called upon to pay h
upon the death of a member. In other
jvords, a number of men go into an
organization and bind themselves to pay
fi, certain sum to the family or represen- r
imiyes 01 mosc oi uuur number that di?;- ?
This lias been shown to work with sutis- 1
faction and economy, liy far the foremost a
one of these mutual organizations is the t
Jvnights of Honor. It is a secret organi- r
zation, with a Supreme Lnil^o, Grand j
I.odges for each State, ami subordinate f
lodges. It has its signs and secret work, t
pnd the subordinate lodges hold semi- 1'
monthly meetings. Tho organization has ^
a membership in the United States of
nearly or quite 180,000, and is.financially
n ii ? - -
piruug. lYi'cunuy wiu'ii one ol its ftu- \
prcme officers sought to injure it I)y with- '
r holding funds in his hands, and l>y legal
proceedings against it, it met and defeated ^
him at every point, and go(>s on tho even 1
tenor of its way without having suffered v
any injury* through his malicious machinations.
It is unquestionably strong and 1
safe. The local lodge at this place is I
composed of the best business men of 1
the town and is in a flourishing con- 1
dition. It has at least fifty members f
on its roll, ami has never lost a *
member nor had one seriously sick. '
This certainly speaks well for the phy- 1
sique of the members. The amount of '
the assessment on $2000 insurance '
ranges from $1 from 21 years up to about '
$4 up to 55 years, after which age none '
are admitted. These assessments are
made about every twenty-five days, so
that an}' one can calculate the cost of
insurance on his life. Tlu-initiation fees 1
pre from six to eight dollar.-:. There can 1
be no doubt of the safety and economy *
of this plan of insurance, and we cor- '
dially recommend to all who are coin. (

arose, tho epithets "traitor" and "con- (
apirator" were showered upon Mr. Da- r

Southern Senators replied, and a debate t
occurred as acrimonious as any that
marked th? days of tho discussion of
States Rights and Secession?and the
outhorn Senators were right to hurl

heir vile and false language. If Jefi?rson
Davis was a traitor then every
nail who served in the Confederate arny
was a traitor, and every hilleek thai
ovess a dead Confederate covers a traior,
and every man that sympathized
litli (lie cause whs a traitor, ami these
hings we will never admit. It was a

s to discredit the fame of llohei t Fulton

The Ijitmu:)- Law.
Messrs. Editors : <
You having kindly called my nttnn- j
lion to un article in the Jfewberry Ob- j
server on the recent Act regulating the (
adurt-'sion of lunatics to the Asylum, I )
would make the loll owing explanation ,
of tlu? justice and necessity of said law. j
For si'Vera I years the appropriations to ]
this institution have constituted a large ,
proportion of the expenses of the State, j
Since *77 the State has expended about ,
iwo hundred thousand dollars for en- ,
larging and couiplcting the bhildirigs of j
the Asylum, and from seventy t > ninety )
thousand dollars annually for the main- <
tenauce of its inmates, and yet it is ,
doubtful whether the present capacity j
of tin' luuSdiuirs is sullk-ii'iit for the im- <
tieiits who tuny he admitted in I
The Legislature has inside several of- ,
foi ts to enact such laws as would reduce ;
the number of inmates an.I thus curtail
the expense, lii'ls have been introduced
changing the mode of admission, and
requiring each county t?> pay for the
maintenance of her lunatics, hut these
hills were defeated. Acts have heen
passed requiring County Commissioners,
A uditur and Treasurer to report all lu- '
natics able to pay for their entire or par- '
tial maintenance; also an Act requiring ,
County Coniiuissionors to remove such i
inmates as the Superintendent and lie- ;
gents believed were not proper subject? j
! for the benelieiarv c:ir<> of tin.
lion. Yet the number of patients have
continued to increase from lifty to si :ty
per year.
The Superintendent in his last report
recommends that some change he made (
in the lunacy law. The Governor in his i
message directs attention to this sugges- 1
lion, and tin; Lieut-Governor referred i
that part of the Governor's message to
the Committee on "Charitable Instiiii- ,
lions" of which i have the honor to he
Chairman, under these circumstances I !
prepared and introduced the Hill to
which the Newberry physicians object. |
I regret that objection comes from so j
,1 .-NIHIHI-. I IIJIV*.' 1)1 It'll remarked
that Newberry had a corps of
physicians equal if not superior to any.
villas* in the State. Many of them are
my warm personal friends, yet I must
think think the}' are in error as to this i
Act. . J
Was there a necessity for-'.lii'-i Act?"
The Snperinlondant ut his l ist report |
says, "many are maintain) ?i at the expense
of the St.il< . i.i the A.-ylmu, who 1
are not fit subjects of its chainy ; 111:1113' 1
paralytics, simple epileptics, natural
imbeciles, poisons helpless from old
age and incbrates, and in short ail those
who are troublesome at home are sent to
the Asylum, i'any of them are subjects
of charity 1 Tit their proper place
is not in ihe lunatic Asylum." The
Superintendent farther correct !v says,
that he is not to blame for this class o. '
patients being iu the Asylum but that
"the chief responsibility rests with the
physicians of the Stale." In justice to
the medical profession, lie says, "I have
never known an instance where a certificate
was signed from 1111 improper
motive but he imputes it to hasty examination
and a certain carelessness arising
from n want of appreciation 011 the part
of examining physicians."
l)r. (Jrifiiin has directed the removal,
during the past yenr. of fifty inmates of
the Asylum who were not proper wards
of ihis noble institution's charity.
Again, at the recent session of the
Legislature Dr. Pope, a prominent physioian
ami distinguished member of tinHouse
of Uopresentativus and one of the
strongest opponents of this Act, introduced
a resolution to appoint a special
commission to examine and report such
inmates as should he removed from the
wards of the Asylum. 'I'llen, with Dr.
l>riiiitrs report; with the great dill'erenco
in number of inmates from the
several Counties, ranging IVotu 3 to 1 l.'l;
with the Superintendent directing the
removal of lilty in the past year ; with
Dr. Pope's ell'ort to pass a resolution
appointing a special commission to determine
what, others should be removed;
with an annual, increase of sixty
; with the admission of 21)8 ?hirin?
- o
the past year ; with ills* h.*Ii !' that there
wore many inmates in lm* Asxlum at an
expense to the Si:.le *? 1' over -vi'DO per
year, per capita, who eould wiihuit detriment
to the patn-M, his family ur community
be supported at their respective
homes or in their County Anns houses
at six or seven dollars p?;r month, was
there not a necessity for some law to restrict
or prevent the past indiscriminate
admission of lui.atics ?
The bitterest opponent of the law will
not question, hut what phvsieiai.s are
responsible for the class of patients in
the Asylum. Neither a Probate .Judge,
County Coniiinssnmer, Magistrate or
Circuit Judge can assign (ordinarily) a
person to the Asylum without a certificate
from two physicians. Then is it
not right to make the physician) responsible
?
I The complaint is that the law is an
: 11 n i n h?>a?> ? ' ?
, V.*. .IIOIUTUI Jiro!
fession. Such certainiy was not the intent
and purpose of the introducer of the
Hill, nor do I think the letter of the Act
justifies such an inference. What does
the Act require ? That physicians give
certificates of lunacy under oath. Do
they not do thcsame thing in giving evidence
at a coroner's court, or as experts V
IU? we vet?we are not wedded to the
oath, ns we regard the ordinary certificate
of honor equally as binding The
spirit of the. Act is simply to make the
physician more careful in his examinations
and specifies a class of patients to
whom he shall not give certificates and
authorises a penalty if he gives such certificated.
The penalty is left to the discretion
llflll" I tl.ll ! ? .? ??! il ! ? '
, wii%t?tnu 11 in IIVH pit^Ulllilble
that an indictment would be made
or a penalty imposed upon a physician
who had made an unintentional error in
diagnosis, but only against those wilfully
or through ignorance, violating the
law. It is said that often a physician
cannot know that a lunatic is violent or
dangerous except through others. Very
true ; ann the physician could very l
prop.-.rly state in his certificate that he
forms his opinion of the violence of a
patient front such facts ns he learns from
others. Thou I must confess that I fail
j to see any danger to conscientious, injtelligont
physicians, in the Act, or any
j reflection upon the nicdic.il profession.

AYER'S
Hair Vigor
restores, with tlio gloss and freshness of
youth, faded or gray hair to a natural, rich
brown color, or deep black, as may bo desired.
By its nso light or red hair may be darkened,
thin hair thickened, and baldness often, "
though not always, cured.
It chocks falling of the hair, and stimulates
a weak and sickly growth to vigor. It
i prevents ami cures scurf nnd daudrulf, and
| heals nearly every disonso peculiar to tho
i scalp. As a Ladies' Hair Dressing, tlio
I Vigor is unequalled; it contaius neither oil
I nor dyo, renders tlio liair soft, glossy, aud
silken iu appearance, nnd imparts a delicate,
I agreoable, aud lasting perfume.
Mr. C. P. Bkicher writes from Kit-by, O..
Jul// 8, 1KK2 : " Ijist full my hair commenced
falling out, nnd in a short time 1 became
nearly bald. 1 used part of a bottle of
A vKit's Hair Vigor, which stopped tho falling
of tho liair, and started a new growth. I
have now a full head of hair growing vigor>
ously, aud nm convinced that but for the
uao of your preparation I should have been
! entirely bald."
J. W. Bow ex, proprietor of the Mc Arthur
j (Ohio) Jiwjuirer. says : " aver's Hair Vigor
Is a most excollent preparation for the hair,
i 1 speak of it from my own experionco. Its
I use promotes tlio growth of new hair, and
1 makes it glossy ami ?oft. Tho Vigor is also
a suro euro for daudruiT. Not within my
knowledge has tho preparation ever failed
to glvo entire satisfaction."
Mr. Axors Kahidairw, leader of tho
celebrated " I'airbairu Family " of Scottish
Vocalists, writes from llnstn)i, Mitts., Feb. 6,
1SH>: "Kver since my hair began to givo silvery
evidenco of tho cliaugo which liectiug
| time procuretli, I have used aver'S HAIR
Vigor, and so hare been al>lo to maintain
. an appearance of youthfiilness ? a matter of
considerable consequence to ministers, oraI
tors, actors, and in fact every ono <who lives
lit tho eyes oi tlio public."
Mrs. O. A. PiiF.srorr, writing from 18 Flm
St.. Chtirtr*fitirn, Muss., Ajirit 14, IRH2, says :
] " Two years ago about two-thirds of my li'alr
came oif. It thinned very rapidly, and I was
fast growing bald. On iii<in;i Avkr's Hair
! Viu.m tho falling stooped niul n new growth
{ commenced, urn) in about a month my head
l was completely covered with pliort hair. It
lias continued to grow, and in now as good as
baforo It full. I regularly used but one bottle
of tho VtcoR, but now uso it occasionally as
a dressing."
Wo have hundreds of similar testimonials
to tho oillcacy of AVEit's HaiuViooh. It
no(Hls bat a trial to convinco the most sksptlcul
of its value.
