The Library Association.
At the opening of the Association Fair last
Tuesday night, the President, Col. J. J.
Dargan, before introducing the speaker of the
evening, Gen. E. W. Moise, made the follow?
ing remarks on the work, 'progress and par
poses of the Association :
. Ladies ?md Gentlemen : U devolves upon
me as President of the Library Association to
j announce the formal opening of thia Fair,
I which k. in charge of the Association, and
operated for its benefit.
In doing this, I feel called upon to state
briefly, the origin, - purpose, progress and
prospects of the organization.
It was regularly organized a little over a
year ago. Its purpose is clearly indicated by
its name, "The Sumter Library Association."
A Library for the town and County of Sum?
ter, is the end in view. Its progress, though
not rapid, has been constant.
From the small beginning in a lawyer's
office, we. have come to hare as members earn?
estly enlisted in the work, C. E Bartlett, J.
J. Bessard, J. D. Blanding, C. C. Brown, R.
L. Cooper, W. H. Cnttino, A. J. China. J. H.
Chandler, H. L. Darr, Jr., L. W. Dick. Mrs.
J .J. Dargan, N. W. Edmunds, T. B. Fraser,

Rhame, J. S. Richardson, J. E. Ryttenberg,
Marcus Gr. Ryttenberg, A. A. Solomons, Miss
Emma Schwartz, A. White, Jr., H. F. Wil?
son and Mrs H. F. Wilson.
v We bave upon our tables a large number of
literary and sci?: linc periodicals of this
-country, and England, such as, Bid well's
Eclectic, South Atlantic, Popular Science
Monthly, The Century, North American Re?
view, Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly, The
N. Y. Nation, Harper's Month"j, Harper's.
Bazar, The British Quarterly, Westminster {
and Blackwoods, Frank. Leslie's Illustrated
Magazine, etc, etc. Besides, we have Apple?
ton's American Encyclopedia, and a small
number of other interesting and instructive
books.
I We have three comfortable rooms, two. of
which are very well furnished and located in
the heart of the town.
Our membership not only steadily increases
in number, but in zeal and enthusiasm in the
work we have assumed.
I submit, therefore, that the noble end had
in view io the organization ot the Association,
the progress made in so short a time, the
character of those embarked ic the enterprise,
entitle it to-nay command the confidence j
and good will of al! good people.:
Our terms of membership have been made
so liberal, that all who desire it, can have
access to these great advantages. Life mem?
bership $5 as initiation fte. and $2 a year
afterwards. Annual membership, $3 per
annam.
Weean assure you we have unbounded
confidence in on ree Web, and we may reason?
ably entertain it when we compare our first
meetings with the scene before us this even?
ing. -
In the onward and upward course we have
marked ont for our Association, we shall
know no halting, and we invite the co-opera-,
tion of all the noble men and women of our
town and County.
We will be glad to receive moral as well as
pecuniary aid. .None so poor, but tbey CAD
give us words of encouragement and commen?
dation
A gifted American orator bas said : "A
home with a library io it, is a home with a
soul-a home witbont a library, though it be
never so fine in all else, is a home without a
soul.'* The same may be said of a town.
- Sumter needs only a fine public library to
make it one of the most attractive little towns
in the South.

PRIVATEER, S. C., Dec. 24, 1885.
Mr. D. Z. Osteen left last Tuesday morning,
a week, for Americas, Ga., where he expects
to make bis home in the fntnre. When his
brother, Mr. Joseph Osteen, went to get his
horse after the train left, bis horse was miss?

Mr. Editor: Christmas has "come and with
it we are reminded that another year with all
its changes is about to pass off the stage of
action, to give place to one of probably great?
er changes.
It is very quiet here, scarcely a gun is heard
to inform us that the time that was nsually
spent with much gayety and noise is at hand.
A depression seems to have settled down on
our people-cause, hard times.
I am sorry to say that there bas been, and
is, a good deal of sickness here, such as colds,
pneumonia, ftc. The Doctors are kept quite
busy, butas yet no de?ths have occurred.
Dr. Miller has bought two new buggies for
his practice, so if one breaks down, he can
travel in the other without hindrance. We j
are truly sorry that he has so much to do.
Good for bis pocket, but Mr. Editor, no one
likes to be sick and take medicine.

Illinois weighed 175 pounds each. What a
gigantic toothache that animal must have
been capable of having ! And such neural?

Edward Shepherd, of Harrisburg, 111., says:
"Having received so much benefit from Elec?

humanity know it. Have had a running sore
on my leg for eight years-; my doctors told
me I would have to have the bone scraped or
the leg amputated. I used, instead, three

and save life, and is a priceless boon to the
afflicted. Not only does it positively enre
Consumption, but Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis,
Asthma, Hoarseness, and all affections of the
Throat, Chest, and Lungs, yield at once to its
wonderful curative powers. If you doubt
this, get a trial bottle free, at Dr. J. F. W.

Dyspepsia Can be Cured.
There is perhaps no disease so prevalent as
dyspepsia or indigestion, and one too, that
up to the present time, has baffled the skill of
the most eminent Physicians. Two-thirds of ?
the chronic diseases have their origin in dys?
pepsia. The symptons are loss of appetite,
loss of flesh, a feeling of fullness or weight ic
the stomach, occasional y nansea and vomit?
ing, acidity, flatulence, dull pain in the head,
with a sensation of heaviness or giddiness,
irregularity of bowels, low spirits, sleepless?
ness, sallow skin, derangement of kidneys,
and not unfreqoently palpitation ef the heart.
If you are suffering with any of these symp?

REPOBTS OF GOVERNMENT CHEMISTS
As to Purity and Wholesomeness of the Boyal Baking Powder.
" I have tested a package of Royal Baking Powder, which I purchased In the
open market, and find it composed of pure and wholesome ingredients. It ia a cream
oftartar powder of a high degree of merit, and does not contain either alum of
phosphates, or other Injurious substances. E. G. LOVE, Ph.D."
u It is a scientific fact that the Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure.
"H. A. MOTT, Ph.D."
" I have examined a package of Royal Baking Powder, purchased by myself In
the market. I find it entirely free from alum,.terra alba, or any other injurious sub?
stance. HUNKY MOUTON, Ph.D., President cf Stevens Institute of Technology."
" I have analysed a package of Royal Baking Powder. The materials of which
H is composed are pure and wholesome. 3. DAMA. HATES, State Assayer, Mass."
Thc Royal Baking Powder received the highest award over all competitors at
the Vienna World's Exposition. 1873 ; at the Centennial, Philadelphia, 187?; at the
American Institute, New York, and at State Fairs throughout the country.
No other article of human food has ever received such high, emphatic, and uni?
versal endorsement from eminent chemists, physicians, scientists, and Boards of
Health all over the world.
NOTE-Thc above DIAGRAM illustrates the comparative worth cf various Baking
Powders, as shown by Chemical Analysis and experiments made by Prof. Sch edi er.
A pound can of each powder was taken, the total leavening power or volume in
each can calculated, the result being as Indicated. This practical test for worth by
Prof. Schedler only proves what every observant consumer of the Royal Baking ?
Powder knows by practical experience, that, while lt costs a few cents per pound j
more inan ordinary kinds, it Is far more economical, and, besides, alfords thc advant?
age of better work. A single trial of the Royal Bilking Powder will convince soy
fair minded person of these facts.
* While the diagram shows some of the alum powders to be of a hi-rhrr degree
of strength than other powders ranked below them, it ii not to be *ake>i ss indicat?

We have not the space in this advertisement to enumerate
all the prices, or give in detail the varied styles. Below we
give some of the prices, and say that should you need anything
in oar line we would be pleased to quote you styles and prices
more in detail. We can make it to your advantage to trade
with us. See our special offer :

. * Ne claim for discount will bc recognized unless this Coupon is presented. ?
This offer is only made to the people of Sumter and vicinity,
and for a limited time. It is liberal because our prices are as
low as the same goods can be bought for ANYWHERE. There is
no chance- for deception because our price mark is in plain
figures. Our reason for making this offer is, we desire to bring
to your attention the fact that you can buy your Jewelry, Silver,
etc., in Columbia as cheaply as anywhere else, and by our spe?
cial offer hope to be able to induce you to give us a trial.
See the advantages of this offer. In the first place the prices
on the goods are in plain figures, so that there is no adding on
to take off in discount. On a purchase of $10 worth, you get a
discount of $1, getting $10 worth of goods for $9 ; on a $15
purchase the discount is $1.50, which "will pay your railroad
fare oue way between Sumter and Columbia. The discount on
a $30 purchase pays your fare both ways ; or a $50 purchase
pays your fare both ways and Hotel Expenses in Columbia.
Now, as you will doubtless need something in our line, say JEW?
ELRY for wife, daughter or sweetheart, or SILVER WARE, either
with or without handsome Plush or Morocco Cases for Wedding
Presents, would it not be to your advantage to buy it from us ?
We think so, and only ask that you give us a trial.
We will send goods C. O. D. with privilege of examining
before paying the bill if 50 cents is enclosed with the order to
guarantee us express charges in case of no sale. If the article
sent was satisfactory, and bought, the 50 cents would be deduct?
ed from the bill. It would be hardly fair to expect us to go to
the trouble of packing and shipping an article and also have to
pay express charges when no sale was effected. We will now
give you some of our prices, but should you want anything in
this line write to, or call on, us and state what you would like
to get and how much you wish to pay, and we can suit you.
