mannfactuied. That the process of
canoing^ was equally a success, since
the ^rodtfei 'was of superior quality
and not a single can was reported
spoiled/. .Could there be a better
showing.? And lastly, the proprietor
of the factory has already more orders
thaif^e can ?B this season ! These
statements deserve the attention of
our readers, especially of those in the
towacaiKt-tln? adjacent couutry. Our
soil is naturally adapted to truck farm
ing^taking the climate into consider
ation^as much so as that of Columbia.
If it were certain that a factoryx would
be piit'tip. there would be no trouble
in ?t?jning the' vegetables. The
farmers immediately in and around
the town would willingly plant one,
two^qr te? acres in vegetables if there
were" ready sale for them-and our
gardens-show Irow tliey can be grown
here.- " The factory would be a direct
and immediate help to every one of
t?-^aa<?a: ?air. .profit to the owners
seems eestaiu. If it were established,
other enterprises, incident,-*>r indi?
rect^ inddeht to it, would spring up,

tofMh? reporter learned that he was
in<f?c^fo start tliis enterprise, as a
coihseqaence of a successful experi?

that last season he put np several
thoTrsand cans of tomatoes and other
vegetables and fm ks aud found ready
and profitable-saio -for the tn in Colum?
bia Besides bemg' a -financial suc?
cess, tfie^ process of canning was
eOjUallv so, as the product was of a
s^^or'^a??y'and not a single eau
was^seported spoiled. Tbe fact is tije
good? were of such quality that they
commanded easy sale and a greatly
larger'number of cans could have
been readily disposed of io advantage.
'Tbe-^flritr? canntng.wiil.be com?
menced about July 1st, and the fac?
tory after that date will be kept busy
in doings ^this part of the work and
prepari^l Mie^goods for shipment. A
lot of asparagus has already 4>ee?- put
np^ specialty rwiU be -made o&to
matoes, but Air. Turner proposes also
to can all the peaches, blackberries
and.other fruits that he eau secure.
He has under cultivation 25 acres in
tomatoes, and if this crop continues
as promising as at present, the sup?
ply in this particular will be immense.
?fhe proprietor of this new indus?
try' proposes to put all bi* goods un
the market here and hopes that Co?
lumbia merchants will encourage this
bit^fjiome: enterprise. If, however,
he*eaj?Rol dispose of his output herc
he states that he already has oilers
from Baltimore for more ?roods than
he can put up Ile says he guaran?
tees every caa of his goods and there
is no reason why they should not re?
ceive the preference at the hands of
our merchants.
Judge Aldrich and the News?
papers.
In his charge to the Grand Jury at
AhrBeVi'.le, Judge Aldrich said : There
wassene subject he desired to com?
mend upon for their benefit. He
thotight there was a great deal of un?
necessary, .criticism by newspapers
up^wha'rffej called the failure of
justice. This criticism arose from
one Sided statements, and was de?
rogatory in forming public (?pinion j
ai?^pre judging a case. Every man, j
ito matter with what crime he was j
charged, had the right t<> an impartial !
trial before twelve jurymen of his j
couutry. The jury w?*re the judges j
of thc fact*, and knowing the witness j
es awi possibly being acquainted with j
outside circumstances, rendered their !
decision accordingly: If it was
not in accord with the opinion
formed previously hy the newspapers, !
another cry would be heard against I
the ability of o::r Courts to do justice. !
This tended to unsettle fixed priuci- ?
pies and was entirely unnecessary. \
In the present state of affairs, men j
guilty of rape were unceremoniously |
hiing up to thc first tree, lt was not j
law, b?t neverthelens, there was an
excuse for it in the minds of those ;
who were husbands, fathers and
brothers. There was less violation j
of the, Jaw m this Slate and in the !
Southern States than in any other :
p-wt i f the Union. We have here no j
liots, no wholesale buming of houses
in which men are killed by the fifties,
sand our papers should be move cau?
sons how they slander the State.
These things were brought to the
Latteution of the Grand Jury that they
might not be influenced by the ignor?
ant criticism of the newspapers.,
? "Commenting upon th^^BK?rc^fhej
Abbeville Messenger says ;:?f
. "No man or paper, w.evtaket!ifcy has
a right to prejudge a caseg. bflSfit is;
the prerogative especi?|yi?f a news?
paper to report facts, and it will take
more than the dictum of a Judge on
the bench to put a stop to it. It is,
their right, yea more, it is their duty
to criticise whatever strikes them as
being wrong even if it is perpetrated
in a Court of justice. J udge Aldrich,
himself has laid down the gape.when;
he attempts to account for^hat] the,
newspapers call unjust verdicts -by
saying that probably ? sorheihing
outside of the Court roorn^has brought
about this decision. Jt was <mr irn^
pression that jurors were sworn to
try cases only on the facts as brought
out before them at the trial, but if
tiiey are to be influenced by some-^
i\w\g unknown to the public., wei
think there is greater cause* .rfor
alarm. We do not believe loss/ iss
characteristic of our juries, bufc that
they find their verdicts only on the
facts presented to them.
[ "We believe Judge Aldrich is
I right when he says that newspapers
should be cautious how they publish
slanders on the State, but at the
same time when anything unworthy
of the State happens in our midst,
surely he would not wish these same
papers to keep silence and thus in
manner at least approve of it. The
public condemnation of such things
is the only way to brine r about that
state of affairs which will prevent
them, and this is not only the right
but the duty of newspapers."

A FATAL MISTAKE.
.f. ?HB Cleveland (Oh\&)Pre$s,
??rFebruary 23d, 1883, pub
i?hed au account of a fatal
su^ical operation which caused
a great commotion among med?
ici men throughout the whole
J CQuntry, Dr. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronc^incing it scandalous. It
: appears that a Mrs. King had
. leen suffering for many years
from some disease of the stom?
ach, which "had. resisted the
treatment of ?il the ^physicians
in attendance. The disease
coimuenced with a slight de
1 ifeige?t?t of the digestion,
?mw??$!m appef?t?" fplt?Wed
By a peculiar ^describable dis?
tress in the stomach, a.feeling,
that has been described as- a
faint "all gone" sensation, a
sticky slime , collecting about
the" teeth, causing a disagree?
able taste; This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
; After a while the hands and
feet becam? cold and sticky
a cold respiration. : There
was a constant tired and lan?
guid feeling. Then followed a
( ?rjeadful nervousness, : with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re?
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. - All prescribed rem?
edies failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order to save the patient's
life an operation was justifi?
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
of February, 1683, the opera?
tion was performed by J)r)
Vance in the presencex>f Dr.
Tuckerman, Dr. Perrier, Dr.
Arms, Dr. Gordon, Dr. Capner,
and Dr. HaHiwellof the Police
Board. The operation consist?
ed ia - laying open:; the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examin?
ation of the organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
of the doctors there was. no
cancer to be found r? The pa?
tient did not have "a cancer.
When too late the medical men
discovered that they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
sewed ibe parts-, together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
;santf rora exhaustion and died
in a few hours: . How sad it
must be for the husband of this
poor woman ta know that his
wife died from the effects of a
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed
If this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostration (for
this was what the disease really
was), she would have been liv?
ing to-day. SHAKER EXTRACT OF
ROOTS, or SUGET/S CURATIVE
SYRUP, a remedy made ex?
pressly fcs-Dyspepsia or Indi?
gestion, has restored many stich
cases lorperfect healtbafW.a??s
otter, kmc^olia^eatment have

efficacy in curing this class of
cases is too voluminous to be
published here ; but those who
read the published evidence in
favor of this dyspeptic remedy
do not question its convincing
nature, and the article has an
extensive sale.
Granite in the Waxhaws.
The Lancaster Review says that
Messrs; Wright Bros , contractors on
the G. C. & N. Railroad, who arc now
grading the road through Waxbaw
township, in Lancaster County, have
made the discovery that on at least two
plantations in that township through
which the road passes the fioest kind of
granite can bc obtained in almost un?
limited quantities. The owner of one
of these plantations ha6 already received
several offers for his place, but refuses
to sell.

in these complaints."
DR. O. B. MAYER, of Newberry, S. C.,
says: "I have sent more than fifty persons

have never been disappointed in any case;
they all speedily recovered. I cannot find
words to express ray confidence in the Glenn
