.'THE MAIL SEBVICE.?
Under the above caption, we, last
week, referred to reported delinquen?
cies in the mails, and some of oar read?
ers have inferred that our strictures
were meant for the Sumter Post Office,
and we rise to remark that nothing of
the kind was intended. We have no
hesitation in saying that the Sumter P.
0. is a model in its management.

callum, in oar opinion, arc most excel?
lent officials abd we have/ not one word

THE SUMTER COTTON PAC
TOET.
A short talk with the President in?
forms as that the Factory is in a satis?
factory condition, and it only needs the
additional machinery to place it on the
high road to prosperity. Sumter ought
to see to it that the needed amount is
furnished. If all the vacant space were
filled, probably, one hundred bands
would be employed, and that, of course,
would be for the benefit of Sumter, for
every additional producer brought to
our town adds to its business.
The experience of those who lost their
stock in the Factory has had a very
chilling effect upon their interest in it,
and this is the only explanation of the
present indifference to its welfare.
The town needs the factory as well as
other similar enterprises to bring an in?
crease of population ; and the fact that
it failed at first, when weighed down
with debt, and while passing through a
crisis of financial and business depres
sion of great severity, is no valid reason
for a fear of failure now while on a cash
basis and with business brightening ;
and we might add, with the lessons of
experience which have given the Facto?
ry well trained managers and hands.
If the manufacturing of cotton can be
"profitable anywhere in the United
States, ?arely it must be here where
freight is saved, and wages are low.
That it does pay is showu by the few
failures in this State in that line of in?
dustry.
We see no reason for a second failure
in the Sumter Factory and it seems to
us that those with money to invest will
do a good thing for themselves aud thc
town to take sto?k :n getting the needed
machinery, and thrcby enabling it to
run full handed.
The future^ development of Sumter
depends to a great exteDt upon thc in?
troduction of manufacturing enterprises,
and its business success will be meas?
ured in a large degree by the public
spirit of its citizens who* will iuvest their
money in such.
Farming interests, will of course
materially increase iu Sumter County,
for an impetus has been given to agri?
cultural pursuits which will bring forth
ex^^?D^y ?wifeuit,an#wereyt^not
fer ??e borden;; of debt weighing upon
the farmers; we could all be assured of
abounding prosperity, but tue debt is
on us, and it behooves both town and
County to - vary their - industries and
leave no stone unturned in the effort to
bring in new capital and encourage new
enterprises. It will help the County as
well as the town, and the business thrift
which seems to be the accompaniment
of manufacturing centres will be an in*
spiratibn to the laggard and encourage?
ment to all.
SPICE.
Just after the war, the spirit of con?
tention and strife which four years of
camp life had developed, and which
could not Sud vent in those piping
times of peace in shooting Yankees as
during the war, broke out in intestine
broils, and much blood was shed through
the South, as the result of this condi?
tion. ,
Our State papers are now in a some?
what similar condition. They have
been busily engaged fighting Republi?
can thieves for a number of years, but
now that the g. o. p. has been kicked
out of politics in South Carolina, and
the papers are rid of their ancient foe,
the fighting propensity is still so strong
that they are pitching into each other
most viciously for lack of other enemies.
For instance, the News and Courier,
ia response to a charge on the part of the
Register that if there be a Ring in the
State, it is the Executive Committee of
the State and that Ring is on Dawson's
little finger/' retorts by saying that
"this is what may be termed a splendid
effort on the part of the hungry office
seeker who compounds statistics, slander
and slops for our Columbia contempo?
rary." Saturday's Register contains a
card from its editor, from which as a
specimen of its vim and e&reestoess we
clip the following :
"Now, then, I would ask who is this
F. W. . Dawson that he should even
dare to call me to account before the
people of South Carolina ? it is true
that I care no more for what he or his
paper may say against me than I wonid
regard the vile tongue of a harlot or the
reproaches of a paid clacker. Bat yet,
by what right does this thrift-seeking
adventurer undertake to assail me be?
fore the free-born men of my oap y^
tive State? Whilsj^H^Qg uQ?er
j5*???HPSuWfe expected that he,
"witlfth?owar(jjy adroitness of which
JieJjMpp master, would push good men
between himself and thc stripes which
he knows in his heart were aimed at
him."
And then our Charleston contempo?
rary is carrying on a tilt with the Spar
tanburg Herald over some statements
made by the Herald in reference to the
C???del ^and Mayor Courtenay, charac?
terizing themsjis a lie^a lie . wft^c*r"
eumsta?ee," "a lie most uncivil/Tfco,
and says the Herald may be "regarded
as one of those journals which *lie ten
nights swake' and then 'lie still and
slumber." The Herald responds by
publishing several affidavits to prove its
assertions, and closes by expressing an
earnest desire to meet the N. & C. man
off in the woods by himself. In order to
gratify that yearning desire of the Her?
ald, the Ni- & (7. mao invites him to
Charleston.
Our esteemed Anderson contempora?
ries are determined that Mayor Courte?
nay and the News and Courier shall
not have a finger in all the newspaper
quarrels and have gotten up a nice lit?
tle one of their own, and arc at it hun
?mer and tongs. We hope their respec?
tive offices are on opposite sides of the
city, so that there may be no necessity
for a personal meeting, unless like Bro.
Jones of tbe Herald, tbey^ are really
anxious to punch each other's heads.
Several other side shows of a similar
kind though on a smaller scale are be?
ing carried on, but none of a serious
nature.
We read with much pleasure the
sound and sensible editorial in last
week's Press and Banner on these un?
seemly rows. We hope our belligerent
brethren will read, reflect and repent.

MUSIC.
The Red Jacket Brass Band is pro?
gressing finely with their musical edu?
cation, and can already render some
pieces in a creditable manner. We
listened at one with much pleasure last
Wednesday evening. But we must
confess that we heard (we did not
listen) most unwillingly to thc length?
ened practice of the member who plays
the bass machine, one day last week.
He brayed and tooted, and tooted and
brayed until we could have seen the of?
fender commit harikari without regret.
If the band will just rent a hollow cy
i press 'iown in the swamp as a place for
^practice, we know one person at least
who will vote it a resolution of thanks.
WOMAN'S SAFEGUARD.
The following extract is worth being
read once a mooth, in the present de?
moralized condition of society. It says
a great deal in the fewest words. It
tells the girls how they can avoid the
very appearance of evil, and gives ad?
vice which, if followed, will save many
a heartache:
"A woman's safeguard is to keep a
man's bauds off her. If you need his
assistance at all, take his ann instead of
his taking yours. Just tell bim in plain
English to keep his baud* off. He may
not like it at first, but he will respect
you ten fold more. Men will do just
what the women allow them to do. Men
i will not do to trust. Give a man your
! arm and you will find him very confi
! dential, and he will take a great many
! privileges he would not take if he was
not permitted to do so. He will give
your arm many a loving, sly twist, and
squeezes that he could have no oppor?
tunity of doing ; an opportunity is just
what he is after. A few more words of
advice aad I will close. Keep your
girls off'the streets except when they
have business; Teach them it is un?
necessary to go to the post office every
time they go out. Your girls can go
home alone just as well as your boys.
If possible, instill in their very nature
that they are safer in their own bands
than they are in the hands of any man
-preachers not excepted."

The organ of Queen City Lodge re?

one of the members of the lodge, thought
he could fix it for less. He took it to
pieces and found that the trouble was
caused from dampness, which had swell?
ed some of the wood work. This was
allowed to dry and the organ is now in
perfect order. Mr. McClure found it
only necessary to purchase fifteen cents
worth of glue to secure the ivory tops
on some of the keys. He had never

completed the task successfully in a day
and a half. Of course he made no

A Counter Statement.
SUMTER, S. C., Sept. 14, 1885.
Mr. Editor : In your issue of September
1st, "Vox" says in a letter dated August 21st,
that Mr. Ballard's fine horse was stolen, and
that the thief could easily be caught as he is
still loafing about the neighborhood. Capt.
Gaillard says that on the 26th of that month
armed with a warrant for the said thief, he
went into that neighborhood where he ?3 well
acquainted and could not find a single man,
either white or colored, who had seen the
thief, Porter Davis, since the theft was com
mitted. He further says that "Vox" knew of
bis presence in the neighborhood, and if he
was anxious for the arrest, and bad either
told bim where to find the said Davis, or
offered his services they would have been ac?
cepted and the thief caught.
How is THAT.
Some Ideas on Hoad Working.
MAYESVILLE, S. C.
Mr. Editor ; By your kind favor I would
open a discussion in the matter of "working"
the public roads-a matter, to my mind, of
the greatest moment as regards our internal
and domestic welfare. Since arriving at the
age of sixteen, forty-five years past, I have al?
most incessantly heard the road working
song with no harmony of sounds, only dis?
cord, strife, and sometimes blood-shed. I
would ask what is the condition of the roads
since the late working ? Some of the growing
farm productions have been destroyed, with
no benefit to the traveling public, so far as
my observation has extended, while obnox?
ious weeds are left, to the impediment and
great discomfort of those who use the roads,
and especially of pedestrians. I can point to
a piece of road^near a church, which even a
moderate shower renders impassable without
wading, to the great discomfort of ladies and
girls, who are effectually barred from return?
ing home from church or school for a length
offline after a rainfall unless they wade.
Said piece of road, could, with comparatively
little labor, be made not only comfortable to
the traveler, but almost as good as a pave?
ment to the pedestrian. It is one of the an?
cient roads of the* State; has been subject to
road duly sioce my earliest recollection, and
yet there are numerous places where the road
carves around a stump or tree ; dead trees are
standing dangerously near with their limbs
projecting over the road ; the roots are washed
and worn naked so as to lie above the surface
causing horses to. trip and fall, to the danger
of man and beast. This is no fancy picture.
Such roads can be found all through Sumter
Couuty, and we all know that they are exist?
ing realities, but in making these complaints,
I would say to all that I have made these
specifications with no^m^if^-Wa^reihought
or evil integt&-xft1s only my design to snow
the faceless failure of the road working "sys
^gm," and to point out a better plan to be
enacted at the next sittiog of our Legisla?
ture.
I believe tbat we shall never have efficiency
in road working in any other way than by
taxation. Let there be a special capitation
tax levied on all who are subject to road duty,
also a special, uniform lax, regardless of the
va'ue of the animal, on all working animals,
also a special tax, regardless of value, but
regulated by class, ou all vehicles of trans?
portation, lastly but not "leastly" let us
surely have a special tax (for the same pur?
pose) of not less than one dollar on each dog
except the hound, (hounds are useful and
should be exempt.) Ja this way I believe,
without doubt, a revenue would be created,
sufficient to insure good roads, and that too
without burdening any one, and at the expi?
ration of one decade, we tax-payers, will
have certainly gained in prosperity, by pay?
ing this tax, and in a still shorter time the
roads would be so improved that the taxes
would become less and less. I could itemize
and show conclusively that the tax-payers
must gain, even at the start, but must defer
for another article. B.
Castor Oil.
One of the chief uses to which castor oil is
now put is that of dressing and softening
leather for boots. It was formerly nsed for
dosing children whose stomachs were dis?
ordered. And an awful dose it was. Now
we f>?ve suffering children Brown's Iron Bit
tersT wnich tones the stomach, regulates di?
gestion, and imparts strength to the whole
body. Brown's Iron Bitters is incomparably
better than castor oil, and more pleasant to
take.
Proper Treatment for Coughs'.
That the reader may fully understand what
constitutes a good Cough Syrup, we will say
that Tar and Wild Cherry is the basis of the
best remedies yet discovered. These ingredi?
ents with several others equally efficacious,
enter largely into Dr. Bosanko's Cough and
Lung Syrup, thus making it one of the most
reliable now on the market. Price 50 cents,
and SI.00. Samples free. Sold by Dr. J.' F.
W. DeLorme. 3
Cure for Piles.
Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of
weight in the back, loins and lower part of
the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose
he bas some affection of the kidneys or neigh?
boring organs. At times, symptoms of indi?
gestion are present, fiatuleney, uneasiness of
the stomach, etc. A moisture, like perspira?
tion, producing a very disagreeable itching,
after getting warm, isa common attendant.
Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at
once to the application of Dr. Bosanko's Pile
Remedy, which acts directly upon the parts
affected, absorbing the Tumors, allaying the
intense itching, and effecting a permanent cure.

of the State.
The following are selected from many sim?
ilar ones :
Da. L. C. KENNEDY, of Spartanburg,
writes thc Proprietors : "The remedial qual?
ities of Glenn Springs I have known for over
forty years, and can attest to its value in
Dyspepsia from gastric or functional derange?
ment of the Liver, General Debility, Dropsical
Effusions. Uterine Irregularity and Affections
of the Kidneys and Bladder. To the last dis?
eases I would particularly call attention, as
the waters have shown large curative powers
in these complaints."
DR. O. B. MAYER, of Newberry, S. C.,
says: \tll have sent more than fifty persons
suffering with Jaundice to these Springs, and
have never been disappointed in any case;
they all speedily recovered. I cannot find
words to.express my confidence in the Glenn
Springs water, as a remedy for the Liver,
when functionally deranged. Dyspepsia,
Dropsy, certain skiu diseases, troubles in the
Kiducys and Spleen, if produced by tue Liver,
have all, as I kuow, disappeared at the
Springs."
DR. JAMES MCINTOSH, President of the Med?
ical Association of South Carolina, in his an?
nual address before that body remarks:
"Glenn Springs, for diseases of the Stomach,
Liver and Kidneys, deserves lo rank with
any other on the contiueot,"
PRICE OF WATER.

packed and delivered on the train at Spartan?
burg, $4.00.
