Hall's Catarrh Gure Is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Oure is taken Internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the pa tient strength by building up the constitution and- assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in Its curattve powers, that they offer One Hun dred Dollars for any case that it falls to cure. Hond for list of Testimonials. F. J.

Srr'th called the Democratic Convention to order and effected an organization with Dr. Jno. R. Smith as President^ Dr. Jno. 8. Wolff as Vice President and W. S. Powers as Secretary. The conven tion, it was apperent was divided into Irby and Tillman faetlo is about equal in strength. It soon became apperent however, that the Corservatlves or antl element, about twenty votes, were with the Irbyltos and with this help they carried the day putting Dr. Smith, in the ehair. This was a pretty fight gallantly fought by the leaders of the Tillman forces. Dr. A. C. Fuller in troduced the resolutions which appear below, supported in a strong speech by Judge O. G. Thompson and others? There was but one solitary, lone, lone sone "no" heard in response to the negative demand from the Chairman. An Irby, or to bo accurate, an anti bolting delegation goes to Columbia, all reformers except tho three last who are rated as good antis, as follows: J. L. M. Irby, M.'B. Crisp. G. P. Smith, A. C. Workman. K. T. Dunlap, J. 8. Machen, F. D. Bolt, J. W. Ferguson. W. E. Owens, of tho conservative fac tion was chosen to represent tho coun ty on the State Executive Committee.

Gray, J. M. Donnan, W. T. Crows. Tho Tillman oloment claims a victory. Resolutions: Whereas, the free and unlimited coin ago of gold and silver is a time-honored and fundamental doctrine of Jeffersonian Democracy, tho maintenance of which is of essential and vital consequence to the interests of the great producing classes with which we are identified; ami whoreas the goldbug Democracy, instigated by selfish greed, are Beeking by. false pretenceB, insidious encroach ment, and the contraction of the curren cy as to silver and United StateB Treas ury notes, and tho establishment of a single gold staudard, to further enslave the people and confiscate thoir property; and whereas the question of financial reform is the groat, burning and vital queiition ot the National campaign now pending; Bo it therefore? Resolved 1st, That we demand of tho National Democracy, when assembled in convention at Chicago, a clear and unmistakable utteranco for free silver, 16 to 1, the Ibsuo of all paper money by tho government in sufficient volume, and a system of banking which will provido against the concentration and conges tion of money in tho large cities to the detriment and ruin of the country. 2d, That we demand of the National Democratic Convention the nomination of a candidate for President who is a bona fide, unconditional and unmistaka ble friend of free silver. 3d, That no one should be sent as a delegate to represent ub in the May convention in Columbia who is not in full accord with these principles. Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for May, 1890. The illustrated "Lee of Virginia" series is continued in the May number of Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly with a paper by Henry Tyrrell, relating to General Lee's part in the momentous events of the years 1859-18G2. These events include the John Brown raid at Harner's Ferry, the secession of the Southern States and outbreak of the Civil War, General Lee's re signation from the United States Army, and appointment to the com mand of the Confederate forces of Virginia, his campaign in the West, the establishment of Jeffer son Davls?at Richmond as Presi dent of the Confederacy, the first battle of Bull Bun, and General McClellan's invasion of Virginia by way of the Peninsula and advance upon Richmond. Akin to this subject is a charming sketch writ ten by Mrs. Jefferson Davis, de scriptive of life in tho "White House of the Confederacy" during the war. Mrs. Roger A. Pryoradds an interesting chapter and an ex quisite portrait to her "Ancestry of General Lee." Other notable features of the number are the il lustrated articles upon 4 'Cuban 4Noncombatant8," by Frederick A Obe; "The Prince of Wales on American Praireis," by Mrs. J. Leduc; 44Sons and Daughters of Feudal Sires," by Mine. Barbara MacGahan; and Vagabond Wan derings In Guatemala," by Thomas R. Dawley, Jr. DON'T STOP TOBACCO. How To Cure Yourself While Using It.

For twenty five years of that time I was a great suf ferer from general debility and heart disease. For fifteen years I tried to quit, but couldn't. I took various remidies, among others "No-To-Bac," "The Indian Tobacco Antidoto." "Double Chloride of Gold," otc., etc.. but none of them did me the least bit of good.

Ab we sit here this morning, with pen In hand trying to think of something to write from our Ht town that would interest the read ers of Tub Advkrtiskk, we sud denly stop, look upward and around us and our minds are occupied with more pleasant thoughts for they are completely absorbed In the beauties of nature. First we gaze over the hill sides and level fields which only a few months ago looked so cold and barren but are now so pretty and green. Then our eyes slowly turn In another direc tion?the forest and what a won derful and lovely sight meets our gaze?how beautiful; oh! how beautiful does it look robed in its lovely suit of green?then hero and there are beautiful and fragrant flowers scattered to oheer us on our rugged put Iis of life and the sweet melody of birds as if they too, wel comed spring. What can be more refreshing and enchanting than a beautiful spring morning? Farmers are very busy Indeed, trying to keep ahead of the grass. Only yesterday some remarked that without a rain very soon oats would be a complete failure and we know their hearts are now rejoic ing for the much needed shower has been sent. Tho old soldiers of "Co. G" 3rd S. C. Regiment held their annual re-union at this place on the 11th of April. There was a good attendance and every thing passed of pleas antly indeed. These Re-unions soem to be a roal sourco of pleas ure to the old soldiers; who fought so bravoly for their country and our country, and it is our duty to ever remember them on that day and try to make them feel that their love and work is appreciated by their children and friends. We should never let tho thought that our fathers and friends fought, bled and died for our country, pass from our minds, but keep the thought ever fresh in our memory that it may be an inspiration to us to help them keep Up their unnual re-un ion which they all seem to enjoy so much. We had several good speeches, Col, A. W. Burnside of Greenville, presiding as chairman. Capt. Shell was first on program, followed by Dr. Wolff, O. G. Thomp son, R. L. Henry and others. They meet at Gray Court next year.? And let us not forget to mention the dinder?being from Lanford's myself I do not wish to boast but suffice it to say the dinner was ex cellent and beautiful?and as the people of Lanford we wish to thank the people of this and neighboring community for their good attend ance and the assistance they gave us in preparing this dinner. There was an entertainment at Enoree Friday and Saturday nights May 1st and 2nd given by tho pu pils of tho Enoree school?10 cents admittanco which will be appropri ated to the school. The pupils of the school at this place taught by Miss Alma Lanford will give an exhibition at the close of the school which will bo in a few weeks.

Miss Etolia Lanford who has been teaching noar Pelham is also at home. Capt. and Mrs. B. W. Lanford and little daughter, Florrio visited rela tives and friends at Welford and Reidville last week. Miss Nora Cannon, of Roidville, visited rolatives and her old home at Lanford's a few days ago. Wo were glad to have her with us again. Rev. J. T. Littlejohn will leave in a few days for tho Southern Bap tist Convention. Misses Minnie and Mossio Lan ford who have been in Georgia at school for some time are expected home soon. Seldom is it our duty to chroni cle so sad a death as that of Mr. P. F. Moore who died several weeks ago at his home at this place. For several months ho had boon in de clining health and lifo was almost despaired of, but with all this when tho final summons came it came with a gxoat shock both to his fam ily and community. Brother Moore was a man who was loved and re spected by all who knew him; he always had a kind word for every one whom ho met. He united himself with the Lanford Bap tist church some five or six years ago and lived a faithful member of that church until his death. He is greatly missed by us all. He was a noble man, an exemplary Christian a kind father, a devoted husband and a true friond. The funeral services were conducted in the Baptist church, by tho pastor Rev. J. T. Littlejohn. The church was filled to overflowing, which proved his great number of friend in which he was held by the com munity in which he lived. Every thing that was possible for loving hands to do was dono to prolong his stay horo on oarth, but no, tho Lord saw best to call him homo His work was done, his lifo ha budded and bloomed and upon th brittle stem which bound him to earth was sovered, we have every reason to believo that ho was transplanted in Heaven. Ho spoke beautifully and calmly of death and said only a few days before h died that he could almost lay his hand on his son who preceded him to the gravo two years ago. May a kind Heavenly Father who 1 ever ready to comfort deal gently with the grief stricken family and may they evor be ready to say, Thy will, Oh! Lord, not min be done. Gkhaldinf. PRINCETON.
