Thursday, August, 5, 1897. j The first hale of this year's cotton ] for this State was sold last Tuesday and brought MVents jut |?ound. It was raised by Lemy V*.

Mr. Charles M. Bristow, J udge bf Probate of Florence county, died last Thursday. As his uneifdred term exceeds one year, the GoVefnOr will order an elec, Hon held to fill out the term. Mr. Brjstow was a lawyer and was only 37 years old, and unmarried. I t- ' i The Charleston News and Courier has offered some good ad fo the newspapers. It refers to the amount of free advertisement of public men, public institutions! and .public affairs in general. The ff to In fnllrai'O m n ram! vuiutuuia iVKWMt? iv ??i" ' mentions the growing ttr.dency nf dead-beating the newspapers. Unquestionably a great many thiugs are pushed on a newspaper as neWSi which should really appear as advertisements and be paid fof. Every newspaper oflice has had experience in this. ? ? . .* ' The Senatorial race is still dragging along without any astonishing features. Mr Mayfield .has made some very ugly charges against Governor Elierbe, but tliev have been pronounced false - by Mr. Elierbe, and no further notice has been taken of them. Mr, Irby every day relates his "fatherhood*' story, and that, too, is begin rting to get weary some. Evans has gone so far in his "tariff tor revenue only" pos ition as to be classed along with ^. ffer,; and Mrs Lease, as a Populist hv some. Duncan li;?s onlv attended one meeting so far, and it is claimed by some that lie will shortly withdraw from the race. McLaurin is still explaining his tariff views, and, if the newspaper reports cotint for anything, is making numerous friends. There : seems to us no doubt that he is 1 away ahead of any of the other candidates-, and tlie indications are that he will go in on the first ballot. 0. Walt Whitman claims to be in the race, but the proha-1 bilities are that th3 Democratic; Executive Committee will over : rule his protest. Even shou'd the i'oinmittee decide in his favor, it j "is- doubtful if Mr. Whitman -c would even then be "ia" the race; K 1 Why take Johnson's Chill & Fever Tonic? Because it cures the most stubborn case of Fever in ONE DA Y. SCENES IN GREECE. The Itlic I'(xunt, the Omnipresent Dog ntxl the Village Inn. firotre is not all Atht-as, and the peasant in the -ountry village is a very interest iug person. What you note about him most is that he does nothing, i >ay after day have wi walked over the codntry and found him standing or sitting about idle. Yhis used to be a surprise, but wt were always told that it was a holiday. It always is a holiday on ? saint's day. and there are many saints' days in the Greek calendar. How the land gets cultivated at all is a marvel, but it does somehow. There are no inelosures, or very few. You are walking along inno cently and suddenly find yoursell striding over vine furrows. Al first you think you are trespass tug and try to go around, but a little experience makes you bold, and you find that you are doinj. quite the right thing. You may bt attacked by a dog, but that is not because you are off the path, bul because vou are a human being. The Greek dog is a marvelous beast. We have vivid recollections of him. His one principle is thai man is his natural foe, and In takes every opportunity of putting | his principle into practice. He gen erally appears from nowhere ant makes for you. You must get rit of him quickly or he will call to his aid brethren seven times worse thai himself and get rid of you. Yoi generally begin by shying stones, These are always at^iand in Greeco, Providence, I suppose, never gives j an evil without a corresponding an tidote. This may drive him off il he is alone and not very bold. If i' doesn't, you must adopt more vigor ous measures. Don't shoot him, be cause there is a superstition that L? has an owner, and that owner wil probably turn up at the critical mo ment and shoot you. But you ma) stab him if you happen to be carry ing a large enough knife and hav< [ the skill to use it, or you may bran him with your walking stick if i be heavy enough, if these fail there is said to be one remedy left You may sit still, and he, too. wil sit still and look at you. This i: said to be infallible, but we neve: had tbe#courage to try it. It is nt doubt an extremely comfortabh feeling, to be seated ih the center o: a circle of canine admirers, but i ; would be apt to pall after a time i and Greece is not so thickly popu lated that you can depend on a res cue arriving within an hour, or i i day either. If you pass through the perils o: the way and reach the villuge ir safety, you will, of course, go t( the inn, cafe, what you will. Hen are all the men of the pluce, talk I ing, laughing, driving away care; j which /never come to them. Th< < prevailing costume is the long, graj i cloak of the shepherd, the most pic | turesque garment in Greece. Thes< ' men will stare at vou perhaps a lit tie, but they \Vill make you wel coma They will all talk to you ii their own tongue, rnd you will an j ewer in yours. It does not matter i ! bit that neither understands tin other. Both parties .will be equallj I pleased. We remember once meet , ing an old shepherd on the slopes o j Hymettus. He stopped and enteret into a long conversation. What i was about we do not know, but h< ' seemed well pleased, and aftei about 20 minutes we wished hi* ! good night in the only words of hi; language that we knew. You wil probably meet the village pries: too. He is only a peasant like th< rest, but he is recognized as a su perior being on Sundays. Then ii you are thirst}' you drink krasi, tht wine of the country, very mild am : very like sealing wax. At first yoi j will hate it, but after you have gol accustomed to it you will prefer ii to champagne, or you may drinl i "masticfc" if you merely want t( ! be spcirfble. If you are wise, yoi i will eat bread and honey, real Hv mettus honey, which the whole world cannot beat And then yov w 11 get up and go home, feeling that there is no one you have mel like the Greek peasant?Pall Mali Gazetta Chamberlain's Eye and Skin Ointment Is unequalled for Eczema, Tetter, Salt.

Just as no man by taking 1 thought can add an inch to 5; his stature, so no preparation ^ can make hair. The utmost 3 that can be done is to prof mote conditions favorable' to t growth. This is done by Ayer's Hair Vigor. It removes dandruff, cleanses the scalp, nourishes the soil in 4i which the hair grows, and, f j just as a desert will blossom under rain, so bald heads grow ) hair, when the roots are nour; ished. But the roots must be there. If you wish your hair ? to retain its normal color, or if you wish to restore the lost ! tint of gray or faded hair use Ayer's Hair Vigor.
