LIVER TROUBLES I "I find Tbedford'a Black-Draught ija agood medicine for li er d'aease. v W Uc'-redmy on after be had ap nt 9 R $100 with doctor*. It iaall thrived- I 5 Icine 1 take."?MRS.

Ibis great tamiiy medicine frees the constipated bowels, stirs up the torpid liver and causes a healthy secretion of bile. Thedford's Black - Draught ; will cleanse the bowels of impurities and strengthen the kidneys. A torpid liver invites colds, biliousness, chills and fever and all manner of sickness and contagion. Weak kidneys result in Bright's disease which claims as many victims as consumption. A SA-cent Sickage of Thedford's Blackraught should always be kept i in the house. "I used Thedford's Black Draught for livar and kidney comi plaints and found nothing to excel it."-WILLIAM COFFMAN, Mar> blehoad, 111. THEDFORD'3 SLACKPBAUfiHT. jj THE STOCK LAW CASE. | Parties Interested <n th^ 3ig Pasture Will Carry the Matter to Supreme Court. As has already been stated the : case of WB McColloagh et vs ( ! the County of WiHiamsbcrg, involving the of the Aegjalitjve Acts exempting Sattons, , Anderson and h part of Penn town* I ships from the operation of tiie gen- , .'stock law, which came up before ] : Judge Watts at the last terra of J court was decided against the , county and the county commissioners and the coanty treasurer , thereby restrained from levying and collecting the necessary taxes to build aui repair th2 puturs fsa33s in the exempted territory. Now it seems that the parties interested in the maintenance of the pasture fence dissatisfied with ] Judge Wat's' construction of the 1 law and will further test the matter. I A meeting of the stock-owners of ' the pasture was held Monday and it . was determined to carry the case to 1 the supreme court. Whatever may j be the final outcome this course of j action will at least delay the break iug up of the pasture Until the case his been disposed of in the higher ^ 'J tribunal. ^ I Go to Kings tree Bakery for new 4 Dutch Herrings. ] f Concjrr.lng .ounty Claims. r There is considerable complaint } on the part of holders of county ' claims on account of their not being H k abie to get the claiuia cashed. The only way to realize on tneni is ^ " to get the bank to cash the claims s 1 at a uiscount. As the taxes are be- s r J ing collected daily there is or should * be ?i plenty of money in the treasu ry to meet county claims ana it isi not surprising that people are com- j1 plaining. t ! We have made inquiry about the i * matter and Supervisor Graham int forms us that this condition is t owing to the fact that since the j 5 death of Mr R D Rollins there has j ? been no settlement between the } treasurer's office aud the eomptiollei t . general and this accounts for the 1 ?j non-payment of claims. In fact, the t J supervisor says he had to borrow t j money from the bank to de- I . j fray the expenses of the recent tern n of court, i We are authorized to say that j' there is money enough in the treasury to meet all outstanding indebt edness, and that after January 1 next the county treasurer will be empoweied to meet all approved claims presented, whether or not the settlement with the comptroller gen- j eral be made by that time. 1 m B I For toys, fancy ai tides and fireworks go to Kingstree Bakery.
