he had substituted it for the

tenced to seven days’ arrest for

it seems that Gen Saussier, who
is one of the jolliest old fellows
imaginable, and the hero in

the utmost difficulty in preserv

Mr. Fred Miller, of Irving, 111.
writes that he had a Severe Kid
ney trouble for many years,
with severe pains in his back
and also that his bladder was
affected. He tried many so call
ed Kidney cures but without
any good result. About a year
ago he began use of Electric
Ritters and found relief at once
Electric Bitters is especially
adapted to cure of all Kidney
and Liver troubles and often
gives almost instant relief. One
trial will prove our statement.

we expressed the hope that wis-1‘bat are mature and sh.p
er heads than ours would be
able to solve this difficulty in
some lawful way. "While there
are other conditions demanded
of us that we may be loath to
accede to, this, in our opinion,
is the vital issue of them all,
and is the only one that, in the
end, threatens to interfere seri
ously with the consummation
of the compromise. Divested
of all extraneous matter, it nar
rows down, after all, to the
same old negro question that
has been confronting us for so
many years, the settling of each
please of which, as it arose from
time to time, has required the
exercise of the greatest wisdom
and the most exalted spirit of
patriotism.
In this connection it is worthy
of remark that a certain degree
of indignation is being mani
fested in unexpected quarters
because Tillman proposes to
“keep the white man on top” by
limiting the negro’s right of
suffrage. It is not our desire
to make what might be constru
ed to be too sweeping an asser
tion, so we will qualify this last
remark by admitting (what ev
erybody knows to be the case)
that some of our very best men
have always been oppposed to
any interference in this matter
whatsoever. But there is no
denying the fact that the effect
of Tillman's taking this position
has been to bring forth in be
half of the negro a symphathy
and a support from sources
from which he had the least
reason to expect it—from among
the ranks of the very men who
have been convinced all this
time that they were performing
a patriotic duty in holding him
down, and who did not hesitate
to act on that conviction.
What was once right and prop
er in their eyes becomes thor
oughly unjustifiable when ad
vocated by Tillman. This feel
ing arises from prejudice, pure
and simple. If we mistake not
the growing sentiment which
prevails among the white peo
ple of the State, the day for
conducting our political cam
paigns on lines dictated by pre
judice is rapidly passing away
It makes no matter that our
personal estimate of Tillman
has not undergone one iota of
change since he first appeared
on our political horizon; it
idle to discuss the question

farmer, “cotton’s gone up at

some reliable commission house
north. I have no doubt this
will pay you better than cotton.
If English peas are preferred,
get one bushel to the acre; lay
off rows about five feet apart,
have two furrows together with
about six inch shovel plow, and
in those furrows put your man
ure—a good coat of almost any
thing that is good for cotton:
take Dixie plow and bed out
clean; this makes a good flat
bed. Then take five inch shovel
plow and open about over the
manure. Sow your peas in these
furroWs; take a grab rake and
draw from each side of bed to
cover them and let them be
about three inches deep; that
will give two rows every five
feet, one middle two feet, the
other three feet. You can then
plow the wide m.ddle, taking
your grab rake or hoe and work
them out. Once will be enough.
Eight weeks from planting get
carrier crates which I guess can
be had in Charleston, and about
four weeks from the first ap
pearance of bloom you may go
to picking, being careful not to
bruise them. Ship north, and I
don’t think you will regret it.
Let your .seed be any of the
early dwarf peas that are re
commanded for early market
garden. As for squash, tomato
es, cucumbers and eggplants,
almost anyone knows how to
raise them. T. W. Wood &
Sons, of Richmond, Va., are re
liable seedsmen. I will give a
few names of good commission
houses: Edward Roberts, Phila
delphia, Pa.; John Nix & Co.,
New York; Quinn & Co , New
ark, New Jersey. Write to e
house and ask for market quota
tions and stencil, and they will
do right by you. I do not think
there could be a better time
than now for South Carolina
farmers to try something be
sides cotton, especially the vege
table business, as Florida is so
behind. I hope some will try
it: I am trying it here, and
would have been shipping Eng
lish peas but for that memor
able night when everything
went by the board. If you see
fit, publish this for the benefit

A Novel Military Appendage,
[Exchange.]
An amusing scene took place
the other day on the Champs de
Mars at Paris when Gen. Saus
sier, who is in chief command
of the French metropolis, was
inspecting a dragoon regiment
which enjoys the reputation of
being the crack corps of the
French cavalry. All passed off
satisfactorily until his eye hap
pened to catch sight of the pe
culiar appearance presented by
the helmet of a young marquis
who was riding at the head of
A Quarter Century Teat.

tested, and the millions who
have received benefit from its
use testify to its wonderful cur

so long and that has given so
