Columbia, .luly 29.—Governor Hey ward has received an earnest aopeal for help in n letter from a farme- liv- Iuk in the Epworth section near Greenwood in behalf of himself and a larse number of neighbors, who, he says, have b^en rendered destitute by a recent severe hail storm which vis ited that seetton. 'He says that the cotton and oth^r crops were complete ly demolished over a larve area and tint the people .are without anything to convert into cash with which to •ay for their year’s supply or to buv anything to live on until they begin another crop. He says that the area so completely demolished would re- f”'ire about forty plows to coyer it, and he estimates the damage at $400 a plow, or a iota! of $ It;,000. And there is not a cent of hailstorm in surance to mitigate the loss or relieve the suffering. The letter refer the governor to prominent people of Greenwood to substantiate the facts. But th writer is under an erroneous imnression in thinking that an act of the legislature provides money for the governor to come to the rescue in such cases. The governor has not vet decided upon what course to bursue in the matter. He will investi gate the situation. The incident at the Laurens Till man meeting Friday afternoon when Senator Tillman stopped in the mid dle of a speech to 3,000 hearers to dive into Ids hand satchel and pull out a fan decorated with pictures of himself and the notorious Italian j blind tiger. Chicco, of Charleston, re calls that during his own term as governor, Chiceo was still operatin'’’ in open defhnce of law and was sell ing a brand of cigars with Tillman’s name on it. Under the pictures on the f ~" occurred these words. ‘’Tillman Chicco, The Determined.” Senator Tillman said the fan was sent him i)v a newspaper man, who said thev ,v '*re freely distributed at the recent meeting of the press association on the Isle of Palms. Senator Tillman sab' that it was a disgrace that a United States senator should he so insulted and he jumped on Governor H yward for not enforcing the law i this and other respects. It seems likely that hut one of the six hangings scheduled to take place next Friday in this State, where 1' Ins so often been asserted that hang i>' s are a thing of the past, will he consummated after all. The except ion is a white soldier who killed his wife in ,a most brutal manner with a piece of iron while out on a wall:- with her. in a jealous rage, and who confe«°ed to his deed in a boastful m inner. Of the two negro cases in Aiken county, that of Luke Gray, who killed a white man for alleged vio lation of his home, lias been suspend ed p nding ,an investigation by the • r overnor, and the fate of tip* othei negro has been stayed by an anpeal to the Supreme Court in the eleventh hour. The Boh Smalls ease Ins been disposed of by the governor’s commu tatibn, and the Cherokee negro, Ed Rainey, who assaulted a negro girl ho has since died from her injuries, end the Georgetown n-’gro, William Gibbes, who killed a had negro in a fight, both have hope yet. The gov ernor received a strong letter this morning from Col. S. M. Ward, of Georgetown, in behalf of Gihhes. re- countin' r the bid reputation of the negro who was killed, and still strong < r letters have come in behalf of the Cherokee negro. These and a num ber of other interesting cases will come before the pardon hoard at its special meeting to he held August 1. BRAMLETT SURRENDERS. in White Man Who Killed Neqro Greenville County.

C ADI7 C imirefuse t3vrKl^i3 TO HEAL There Is no surer evidence of a poisonous, polluted condition of the blood than that manifested by a sore that refuses to heal. Every symptom suggests pollution; the discharge, the red, angry flesh, the inflammation and discoloration of surrounding parts all show that the ulcer is kept open by a constant drainage through it, of impurities from the blood. When the blood is pure and healthy any cut, bruise or wound will heal readily; when from any cause, however, the blood has become iufected with germs or poisons the place becomes a sore or ulcer, sometimes scabbing over, but never fully healing, because it is kept irritated and inflamed by the impurities in this vital fluid. Often the rough handling of a wart, mole or pimple which has never shown any sign of trouble, a slight scratch or abrasion of ’ the skin or insignificant hurt of any character will become a sore that refuses to heal, and remains for years, eating into the surrounding flesh, resist ing treatment and sometimes terminating in Cancer. The poison in the blood may be the remains of some constitutional disease, the ef fects of a long spell of sickness leaving disease germs in the system, or the absorption of refuse matters of the body which have not been properly expelled through the channels of bodily waste. But whatever the cause the vitality and pur ity of the blood is so weakened and polluted that it cannot properly nourish the system, and the sore or ulcer is kept up. Those most usually afflicted with chronic sores and ulcers are persons who have reached or passed middle life; the vitality of the blood and strength of the system have naturally begun to weaken and the poisons in the blood which perhaps have been inherited and lain dormant in the system for years cannot be as effectually held in check as in early life when the system was strong and vigorous. While the old or middle-aged are the usual sufferers, the young are not exempt if the blood becomes infected with the germs. Salves, plasters, lotions, etc., cannot cure old sores and ulcers because they do not reach the seat of the trouble. Such treatment keeps the place clean, relieves pain and perhaps reduces the inflammation, and in this way is beneficial, but can never permanently heal them. The only treatment that can do any permanent good is a competent blood purifier, one that goes to the very root of the trouble and re moves the cause, and for this purpose nothing has ever been found to equal S. S. S. It goes down to the very fountain-head of the disease, drives out all poison and morbid matter, builds up the weak, sluggish blood, gives energy and strength to the entire system, and allows the sore PURELY VEGETABLE to heal naturally and permanently. S. S. S. i** <' purely vegetable, being made of roots, herbs and barks possessing cleansing, healing properties, and is not only the King of blood purifiers, but the greatest of all tonics. If you have a sore that is slow in healing do not waste Hm* with external treatment nor experiment with unknown medicines, but begin the nse of S. S. S. and by removing every vestige of the cause, cure the trouble permanently. Special book on sores and ulcers and any medical advice desired furnished without charge to all who write.

In 1877 I had my leg badly out by a barrel hoop end having on a blue woolen stocking my leg was badly poisoned from the dye. A great sore formed and for years no one knows what I suf fered with the place. Nothing would heal the ul cer and I thought I would have logo through life with a discharging, an gry sore on my leg. A short while ago I commenced to use S. S. S. and I soon saw that the place was im proving. I continued the use of it until my leg was entirely healed and I am now a well man. JNO. ELLIS 250 Navy St., Brooklyn, N. Y. I had a large sore or ulcer on my face and nothing that I tried would benefit me It began with shooting pains and soon the itching was terrible. At first it discharged a watery fluid which changed to a thicker compo sition and the pain was very se vere. It was near ly ag la’-ge as a dollar and terri bly inflamed in all the surrounding parts. It had been there so long and growing worse all the time, I became very much dis- couragi d and alarmed. At last I be gan the use of S. S. S. At first the ulcer seemed to get worse, but soon I noted an improvement and contin ued its use until it was entirely cured. MRS. W. A WRIGHT. Gary, Fla.

MISSING NEGRO’S BODY FOUND. No Tlie Hint! Knowcldqe of What Caused the Death of Joe Brown. Patrick, July 28.—Joe Brown, a ne gro who has been missing from his h''me here for two weeks, was fonnd today at Steer Pen Spring, about five I miles from Patrick, by Jack Donahue, t a white man who was passing through | that section. The negro’s body was in such a decompos d condition as to render identification almost imoossl- b]e except by clothing and shoes— nothing remaining from the assaults f the buzzards except his bones and clothes. So far an inquest has not been held. No one knows what caus ed his death. Some think he was murdered and are working at that clue. Others think it suicide. Brown was regarded as a hard working. shifty negro, although at times he would get crazy drunk and remain so for several days. He-and his wife had been having some troft- | hie just prior to his disappearance and gome connect this with his death, but nothing rerfi^ns to prove anything except a pil" of bones over in the woods. —* * —The advertising sale on Dr. Sims’s Spring Tonic: will he off alter August 4th.
