AN "IMPUDENT FELLOW.
? fellow of the name of Tuttle is
displaying an unusual amount of im?
pudence-in objecting to the invitation
that has been extended to President
Cleveland to attend the Grand Army
encampment at ?St. Louis next Septem?
ber, vin his opinion the President com?
mitted a great offense in vetoing the
dependent pension bill, and evidently
for political effect he is trying to work
up a feeling among the soldiers on that
question.
Tuttle ? a played ont political bum?
mer who has no right to speak for the
soldiers. He misrepresents the manly
and patriotic feeling that governs ali
true soldiers when he says that the
President of the United States will be
insulted if he shall make his appearance
at the Grand Army gathering. Hav?
ing been invited by thousands of citi?
zens to visit St Louis co that occasion,
he will go there if he wants to, and we
will wairant that while there be will
not be barked at by the kind of cars
that Tattle represents. The true sol?
diers will see that proper respect b paid
the chief officer of the nation.
OBNOXIOUS TO LABOR IN?
TERESTS.
The hope bas been entertained by
the Republican politicians that the labor
movement which Henry George has in
charge might be used for the advantage
of the next Republican Presidential
candidate. Some dicker is expected
by which a large number of labor votes
may be diverted from the Democratic
party where they legitimately belong,
and great confidence of such a diversion
is entertained ia the case of Blaine's
being the Republican candidate.
Bot Mr. George by reeent expres?
sions has given no hope that a dieker
productive of such results ean be car
? ried" out. He has declared hostility to
Maine's tattocd politician, saying that
*'he represents all that I have been
fighting against for years-monopoly
?nd the worst form of capitalistic power.
I could not be consistent and have any
dealings with Mr. Blaine."
Thia is a correct estimate of the
Maine statesman. He is a political
character who, while professing friend?
ship for the labor interests, bas through?
out his public career favored, promoted
and allied himself with monopoly and
capitalistic power. But the same may
be said of all who bave given direction
to the Republican policy. Monopoly
and the money power have attained
their present magnitude through the
favor of Republican administrations and
the privileges conferred by Republican
l?gislation. Labor which has fullered
ju consequence could not consistently
support any representative leader of
that party. In that respect John Sher?
man is as obiectionable as Blaine.
SHERMAN'S SECTIONAL ELEC?
TIONEERING.
There is no longer a doubt that John
Sherman is a candidate for the Presi?
dency, his candidacy being boldly avow?
ed. His organ, the Cincinnati Com?
mercial Gazette, announces definitely
that he is in the field, and Mr. Blaine
can be sure of the opponent he bas got
to fight.
Preliminary to launehing himself as
a fall-fledged candidate, the Ohio poli?
tician made two speeches, opposite to
their character, but quire characteristic
of the man. In March he came South
to conciliate the people of this section,
making his appearance at Nashville as
the apostle of conciliation. His effort
at that place astonished the country, for
il was so unusual to see John Sherman
unattended with the bloody shirt. But
it was well understood that he was then
catering for Southern political favor.
He has since then made another
speech, intended for a Northern lati?
tude, it having been delivered a few
weeks ago at Springfield, Illinois, aod
it differed as widely from his Nashville
effort as Illinois differs from Tennessee.
He no longer posed as the apostle of
conciliation, but preached the old gos?
pel of hate, of which he has been so
lung one of the chief exponents. Ile
charged the present administration with i
putting rebels in office whom he con?
demned as unfit to hold positions under
the federal government, and, speaking
of them as ministers to foreign countries,
declared that 'every government to
which these gentlemen (the 'rebels*) are
accredited may fairly conclude that it
was the rebel cause that triumphed and ?
not the Union cause.'
Isn't there something phenomenally ?
audacious in this Republican demagogue i
condemning a Democratic administra- j
tion for following an example set by so !
.distinguished a Repubiicao President as j
Ulysses S Grant ? It was be who first j
gave foreign nations ground to 'con- {
dode that it was the rebel cause that j
friaospbed,' by appointing the notorious j
Mosby to an important position tn the i ?
d?nloma? ic service. It was Grant who j'
^ave additional reason for the presomp- j
t?on that the .rebels' had triutup?ed, by
selecting a Georgia *rebeP for his legal
adviser as Attorney General. This ex?
ample was followed even by fraud
Hayes who at John Sherman's special
instance, it ts said, selected a 'rebel' as
one of the members of hts cabinet.
lo the face of such facts Sherman
places himself in a very contemptible
position in attempting to cast odium
upon the Democratic administration for
appointing ex-confederates to office. To
people with the right kind of beads and
hearts nothing can be more gratifying
than the fact that the cono try bas
reached that stage of unity in which
men of all sections can safely be called
upon to serve the government, and
nothing could make a better impression
upon foreign nations than the sight of
thc Republic represented abroad by men
who were once in arms against it, bat
whose -allegiance bas been BO thoroughly
re-established that the j can bc trusted
in a representative capacity io foreign
lands. Could anything more strongly
portray to the people of other countries
tbe complete restoration and indestruc?
tibility of tbe American Union ?
A Hail Storm Kills a Lake.
A special from Georgetown to the
Columbia Register says : The following
story of a strange phenomenon will ap?
pear io tbe Enquirer of this week. In
the southwestern part of Georgetown
county, in Saetee swamp, about five
miles below Lenod's ferry, is a large
lake known as Dawbo lake, widely cel?
ebrated for its great quantity of excel?
lent fish of all kinds. About two weeks
sioce a terrific bail storm passed over
this place, of several boora7 duration,
beating the limbs and leaves off the
trees into tbe lake in great quantities
and damaging the crops io this vicinity
very much. A few days after said
storm the fish in the lake began to ap?
pear upon thc surface of tbe water by
thousands in a dying condition, the
number increasing daily until now the
whole surface of the water is covered
with them.
Mr. Thomas, who owns a large field
alongside of the lake, containing one
hundred acres, says that be is sure there
are dead fi=?h enough in the lake to cover
his field all over a foot deep. The
water of tb is lake bas always been of a
whitish color, bot now it is as black as
ink and quite bitter. It is said that
tbe fish would approach the shore strug?
gling as if to get on tbe land. Alli?
gators, cooters, and snakes were seen
leaving the. lake in great numbera.
Dawbo Lake is about one and a half
miles long, from ten to thirty feet deep
and from one to two hundred yards
wide.
The stench arising from so large a
mass of dead fish is dreadful. The
buzzards are having a high carnival.
Upon the approach of any one they rise
to fly, making a noise about similar to
the roaring of thc late August earth?
quake. Adjacent lakes are not affected.
That Same Old Earthquake.
The people cf Charleston really ought ?
to be more careful in handling their ?
earthquakes. When they get through
with them they should chain them up
instead of allowing them to run loose I
over tbe planet and knock things around
generally. Au earthquake, you see,
is a clumsy sort of affair, and when it i
stumps its toe against a village or city '
it loses its temper and kicks thc whole
thing to flinders.
That Charleston ogre was born io a ?
bad mood. It was as ugly a brute of
the kind as we have heard of in modern ;
times. After it had upset the publie
buildings of the city it took a header
under the Atlantic and came up on the
beautiful shores of the Mediterranean, !
which it just laid waste as easily as a
whale would scatter a school of mack?
erel.
Then it apparently determined to
make the tour of the globe. The }
latest news shows that it has got as far
as Turkestan. Tbe town of Veroome 1
has been left a perfect wreck. More
than a hundred people were killed, ,
white more thoo another hundred were :
seriously injured. The panic stricken ;
residents Med into the open country, and
it ia impossible as yet to reckon the
disasters it bas occasioned
We do not want to be disrespectful
even to an earthquake, but it might be
well for Buffalo Kill to send one of his
famous bucking horses io the East and
let this fellow try to mount him. If
thai failed io quiet him we should
simply resign ourselves to the inevit?
able -# Y. Herald.

SALEM, BLACK RIVER, June 13, '87.
Mr. Editor : Excepting a few fields of oats
that were beaten down by the hail, the crop
has been harvested in fine condition. The
yield was satisfactory, and the'only regret is
that the acreage of Fall sown oats was so
small.
It is wonderful bow the oats that seemed
entirely destroyed by the hail have recovered.
On good land two-thirds of a crop will be
saved where it looked like nothing remained
four weeks ago. These oats are being cut now.
A large part of the corn crop has been laid
by beautifully. It is growing well, and pre?
sents quite a different appearance to last year.
The seasons have been well suited to a healthy
growth of our corn crop, and it strikes me
that most farmers have paid more attention
to it, both in preparation, fertilizing and cul?
tivating more thoroughly than usual, lt
may be that it is because the Spring has been
so favorable for farm work, and this is what
would always be done were it not for condi?
tions that L:ake the salvation of king cotton
paramount to all other considerations. Tbe
spirit indeed is willing but the cotton mania
is strong. j
Cotton was looking well last week, but '
since this cool Spell began it looks very j
sleepy. I wonder if this is not the coolest |
spell of weather for June thirteenth, that the
proverbial "oldest inhabitant" erer felt. Dew
was nearly turned into frost this morning. -
The health of our section is good. Only a
few cases of slight indtspositioo have come
ondrr my observation.
Rev. W. J. McKay left this morning to at?
tend the Commencement exercises of Daviflson
College, of which institution he is ouc of tbe
Trustees. He will retorn io time to preach
next Sunday. Recently his congregation,.]
through the rfficers of the Church, tendered
bim a vacation of six or eight weeks this
Summer for the benefit of his health. He will
probably go to tbe mountains of Western
N'orth Carolina, and there, in thc Land of the
Sky, enjoy that rest which, as an earnest
worker, he deserves. This action of the
Church was unexpected and therefore the
wore gratifying, as showing tts appreciation
of his labors and solicitude for bis. comfort.
The Methodist Church at Shiloh invited
bim to preach for them on the afternoons of
the Sabbaths when they have no regular ser
rices during thc Summer, at bis convenience.
Io response to this invitation he preached
there yesterday afternoon to a large congre?
gation. He will probably preach fur them on
the afternoon of the second Sabbath in July,
bef?te going off for the Summer.
I had occasion to drive down to Shiloh re?
cently. Saw good crops along the road that
attested Jo the careful culture of the thrifty
farmers of that locality. The village of
Sh;'oh is prettily located on the eastern side
of Hope Swamp. Although it looks like a
healthy si mat ion, 1 was told there is-a great
deal of sickness there now. Three deaths tn
the last two weeks had cast a gloom over the
place.
A saw mill, several stores, and neat dwell?
ings, school house, and church (M. E.)
with a nourishing Sunday School give evi?
dence of ?be progress of tbe place.
A gentleman informed rae that a few mi'cs
South-east of Shiloh the crops are as fine as
lie ever saw for the time of the year. Ile says
it is common to see fields of cotton knee-high ;
and branching out like it does in July. One
of the attractions of this community is the
self-sustaining, thrifty, old-fashioned way of
producing at home a plenty for man and
beast. As ibis letter is already too long I
will close. SINE DIB.
The Sumter Light Infantry.
There was a drill and dress parade of the
Company on yesterday afternoon, and thc
regular monthly business meeting waa held
in tbe evening.
The principal matter for consideration was
in regard to the proposed Summer encamp?
ment, and for this purpose Darlington and
Spartanburg were discu3$ed. At Darlington
it has been proposed to hold a regimen tul en?
campment, composed of the Darlington, Flor?
ence, Sumter and Manning Companies, com?
prising the Fourth Regiment. The encamp?
ment at Spartanburg is to he in connection
with the Agricultural and Grange Encamp?
ment. lt was decided to appointa commit?
tee to canvass the Company for a full opinion
and report a? soon ?is possible.
It wag decided to har? dress parade twice a
month, on the second and fourth Tuesdays,
?nd target practice on the first and third
Tuesdays of each month during the Summer,
and the first target practice will be next Tues?
day afternoon. The hoys were treated to re?
freshment ot lemonade, etc., by Captain Wil?
son hf;er coming on" thc parade on yesterday
afternoon.

PROVIDENCE, S. C, June 13, 1887.
Mr. Editor: On Wednesday and Thursday
of last week we had a phenomenal spell of
weather. They were the hottest days we
have had this year. Then the weather began
to moderate, and by Saturday at raid-uight
we were banting around for blankets and on
Sunday rooming fires were found comforta?
ble for a tew boors. The mail carrier from
this point to Statesburg reports frost at
Claremont on Sunday morning.
The many friends in this section of Mr3
Isadore Hoyt were deeply pa.ined to hear of
her death.
The Rev. W. 0. Watson preached a fine
sermon to a large and attentive congregation
at Providence Church on last Sunday after?
noon.
The crops are the fine3t I have seen in this
section for this time of the year since 188;
Speaking about crops reminds me of the big
crop you reported from Rafting Creek last
week. Come up our way if you waDt to see
something to beat that. We have a friend
who has 85 acres of cotton from which be
will make from 85 to 90 bales.
Mr. F. J. Scarborough bas a field of very
fine corn, lt is the boss corn crop of this
section.
Mr. W. H. Steinraeyer, of Florida, is on a
visit to this section.
Mrs. John Kingman has returned home
after a long visit to ber sister's family in
Florida.
Mr. Joshua Myers still continues feeble.
Providence returns thanks to Carter's
Crossing for an invitation to attend a picnic
at that point on the 15th instant. This invi?
tation was extended by the committee through
Mr. J. Edwin Rembert. We nope to be able
to return tbe compliment later in the season.

Our Exchanges.
The June number of the Cotton Plant, under
the new management, was issued last week,
and those who are capable of judging pro?
nounce it an excellent number. Mr. A. M.
Howell is the new editor, and gives ample
evidence of bis ability and fitness for the po?
sition. Every farmer in the State ought to
subscribe at once for this admirable journal,
and specimen copies are sent on application.
Address Cotton Plant, Greenville, S, C.
Peterson's Magazine for July begins a new
serial, "Along the Bayou," by the very pop?
ular Southern writer, Miss Alice Bowman,
which promises even to surpass her former
stories. Miss Bowman is undoubtedly a
woman of genius, wonderfully correct in her
delineation of Creole character, and her
patios is the most natural ever put in print.
Some of the most popular authors of the
South are among the contributors for .'Peter?
son." Miss M. G. M'Clellaod ranks promi?
nently iu the list, and there are,-besides, Mrs.
M. Sliefifey Peters, whose dialect-stories have
proved so successful, Mrs. Emma Garrison
Jones, Miss Alice Maud Ewell and others.
This fact is naturally of special interest in
our section of the coumry, and we bave a
right to feel proud of the rapidly growing
prominence which Southern writers are claim?
ing in the literature of the land. There is
scarcely an American author who, during
the past len years, has achieved marked cele?
brity al home or in England, but belongs to
the Suuth, and it is only j*ist to "Peterson"
to admit that its columns bave introduced
more young Soulhern writers to notice than
any other magazine. Regarded both from
an artistic and literary point of view,
''Peterson" tak^s rank among the best of the
first-class periodicals, while in the matter of
fashion, needlework-patterns, and instruction
of all sorts available in household?, it bears
off the palin from all the other lady's maga?
zines. Terms: two dolUrs a year, with
great reductions to clubs, and splendid pre?
miums. Address. Peterson's Magazine, SOS

PQISuK IB THE ASHES
What the Mt. Lebanon Shakers
Found-Incident in the His?
tory of a Quiet Community.
f The Mount Lebanon (New
York) Shakers are a quiet com?
munity, secluded from the fret
and worry of the outside world.
They are widely known, how?
ever, for their strict honor and
probity in business.
The Shakers believe that na?
ture has a remedy for every dis?
ease. A few have been found-?
the rest are as yet unknown.
Many were discovered by acci?
dent. Others came to light as
the result of patient experiment
md research.
Nervous Dyspepsia is a com?
paratively m?o disease, growing
out of the conditions of modern
life. It is a joint affection of
the digestive organs and of the
nervous system. These two
were formerly treated as sepa?
rate ailments, and it was left
for the clear-sighted Shakers
to prove that the basis cf this
tembl? and often fatal compli?
cation lies chiefly in the disord?
ered and depraved functions of
digestion and nutrition. They
reasoned thus :-"If we can in?
duce the stomach to do its
work, and stimulate the excre?
tive organs to drive out of the
body the poisonous waste' mat?
ters which remain after the life
giving elements of the food
have been absorbed, we shall
have conquered Nervous Dys?
pepsia and Nervous Exhaust?
ion. And they were right.
' Knowing the infallible power
of Shaker Extract (Seigel's
Syrup) in less complicated
though similar diseases,
they resolved to test it fully
in thia. To leave no ground
for doubt they prescribed the
remedy in hundreds of cases
which had been pronounced in?
curable^-with perfect success
in evjery instance where their
directions as to living and diet
were scrupulously followed.
Nervous Dyspepsia and Ex?
haustion is a peculiarly Ameri?
can disease. To a greater or
'ess extent half the people of
'his country suffer from it
loth sexes and all aces. In no
country in the worlci are there
o many insane asylums filled
o oversowing, all resulting
crom this alarming disease. Its
eading symptoms are these:
frequent or continual head?
ache ; a dull pain at the base
)i the brain ; bad breath ; nau?
seous eructations; the rising
of soul' and pungent fluids to
the throat ; a sense of oppress?
ion and faintness at the pit of
the stomach ; flatulence; wake?
fulness and loss of sleep; dis?
gust with food even when
weak from the need of it; sticky
or slimy matter on the teeth or
in the mouth, especially on ris?
ing in the morning; furred and
coated tongue; dull eyes; cold
hands and feet; constipation;
dry or rough skin; inability to
fix the mind on any labor call?
ing for continuous attention;
and oppressive and sad fore?
bodings and fears.
All. this tenible group
Shaker Extract (Seigel's
Syrup) removes by its pos?
itive, powerful, direct yet
painless and gentle action upon
the functions of digestion and
assimilation. Those elements
of the food that build up and
strengthen the system are sent
upon their mission, while all
waste matters (the ashes of li?e's
fire) which unremoved, poison
and kill, are expelled from the
body through the bowels, kid?
neys and skin. The weak and
prostrated nerves are quieted,
toned and fed by the purified
blood. As the result, health,
with its enjoyments, blessings
and power, returns to the suf?
ferer who had, perhaps, aband?
oned all hope of ever seeing
another well day.
