FEDERAL PATRONAGE.
The all absorbing topic of the
day among us is Federal patron
age in South Carolina. The pa
pers are full of it. The corres
pondents have dropped every
other subject and are filling the
columns of the daily newspapers
with speculations and rumors
on this question, some with and
some without foundation. It is
amusing to watch the different
reports that come from Wash
ington. There sensational
stories are concocted and re
tailed to the eager and anxious
readers in South Carolina, who
are unable to got at an idea of
what is the truth, because the
stories are full of contradictions.
A newspaper will publish on
one day a report of a most sen
sational and exciting character;
print it in bold type and as
sert it as a positive fact. The
next day a rival paper will con
tradict this story and furnish
the people with another equally
as sensational and exciting.
This in turn is contradicte 1 and
so on it continues until the
reader is at a loss to know “were
he is at.’*
The truth is nobody outside
of the President and his closest
advisers know what is to be
done about patronage in South
Carolina and we doubt whetner
they have given it much
thought. South Carolina is a
small State and it is not to be
expected that her affairs will be
considered before those of great
er importance to the country at
large. Besides, Mr. Cleveland
is a man who moves slowly; he
considers every matter carefully
before taking action in it. This
is why he makes so few mis
takes.
In the meantime the people
must be patient while the Pres
ident works out the matter to
his own and the country’s satis
faction. He will do that any
how, so why all this struggle,
bickering and backbitingamong
the candidates and their friends?
Newspapers must have some'
thing to write about. Let them
talk, but accept what they say
with a grain of salt. Many of
their statements are only pro
ducts of their imagination and
are totally unreliable.

The Mormons are still preach
ing in the Pond Hollow neigh
borhood. We wish our friends
would send them away, for we
are tired of hearing about them
being so near us.
JAbPER.
Mr. S. W. Hatched is having
a very hard time in his long ill
ness.
We are glad to report that
Mrs. It. Vaughn is rapidly con
valescing.

OATS.
Mr. J. W. Reynolds is pre
paring to erect a large dwelling
on his place.
Miss Fannie Bell, of Harts-
ville, has been visiting relatives
in the neighborhood.
We have had fine weather for
work and the farmers have been
busy planting corn and prepar
ing to plant cotton.
Messrs C. N. Oates & Bro
have placed a turpentine stili
on their plantation near here
and will soon be ready for busi
ness.
Easter was celebrated at Wes
ley Chapel by special services.
The church was simply but
tastily decorated with flowers,
evergreens, etc., and the pro
gramme was very nicely exe
cuted.
Lydia Lodge. I. O. G. T., now
holds its regular meetings on
the second and fourth Satur
days, in the afternoon, at Wes
ley Chapel. The membership
isfgood and is constantly in
creasing.
Rev. W. A. Massabeau, who
has recently been licensed to
preach and who is teaching at
Stokes Bridge, preached for us
on the fourth Sunday of last
month and will continue to
preach for us on every fourth
Sunday afternoon.
Rev. B. F. Parrott will preach
at Lake Swam]) on the second
Sunday in April.
Despite the recent unpleas
ant weather, we are making
great progress in preparing for
an abundant cotton crop down
here on Sparrow and Lake
Swamps. It seems impossible
for us to forsake our fleecy mon
arch and Southern glory.
Our school commencement
was held on the 24 ult. and it
was a grand success. Several
of the children appeared in dia-
loges, wich w< re quite amusing
to the audience. The pupils’
speeches were all delivered well.
Mrs. Richard.* on, their worthy
teacher, deserves unlimited
praise for the great advance
ment the pupils have made un
der her training. The exercises
closed with an address by Rev.
Mr. Richardsc>n.
We Hope 'Tis True.
The Columbia State, of Tues
day, says that Senator Butler
has secured favorable action
upon the postoftice at Darling
ton. As the Senator has en
dorsed Mrs. Law we infer that
this means that she will get the
place. We trust that this be
true, for Mrs. Law’s appoint
ment would be very acceptable
to almost every citizen of the
town.
M-. Traxler's Bond.
Mr. D. H. Traxler has fixed
the $10,000 bond which he is re
quired to give as State Dispen
ser. The bond was made up in
Florence county and the follow
ing parties, all df whom are
well known to our readers, com
pose the security: G. C. Mc-
Eaehern, Charles T. Haynie,
James U. Byrd, Mary Byrd, E.
C Hudson and R. P. Byrd.

The Clerk made one sale on
Monday, the only official sale

the people to supply their many wants? Our
answer is, Buy where your dollar will bring you

tion of the following—
WE BUY STRICTLY FOR

Harris Lithia Water,
HARRIS’ LITHIA SPRINGS, S. C.
After a long and varied experience in the use of mineral waters from manv
sources, both foreign and domestic, I am fully persuaded that the Harris Lith
la Water possesses efficacy in the treatment of afflictions of the kidney and
bladder unequalled by any other water of which I have made trial 1
This opinion is based upon observation of its effects on my patients for the
past three years, during which time I have prescribed it freelv and almost
uniformly with benefit in the medicable maladies above mentioned *
When failure to relieve has occurred, I have imputed it to insufficient use
of the water for my experience teaches me that from one to tooquarts daily
should be taken from two to four weeks, to secure its full remedial effects.
