Sumter Farmers. The Farmers' Association of this County anet in the Court House on last Monday, about nerty members being present. Mr. H. R. Twero ? called the meeting-to order and stated that toe first business before the Association was tho election of delegates aod alternates ta the State Farmers' Convention wbicb is to mses ia Colombia on the first of December, Sad the following were unanimously elected as the represen uti ve? of tbe farmers of this ?eoaty: H. R, Thomas, T. P. Kilgore, A. K. San dara, B. J. Brownfield and H. M. Reames. Alternates-J. E. Stuckey, Jr., R. M. Pitts, 1**J. 0. ?landing, W. C. Broughton and J. R. Chewniog. ZTpoo the dispatch of this business for Which thc meeting was principally called, Timsli and wholesome remarks were made by Mr. H. B. Thomas'aod Capt. R. J. Brownfield noon the encouragement, protection, and ad? vancement of th*' agricultural interests and ether objects (br which the farmers of this pm hate organised. Ween tho resoultion was put instructing ahi,isjggitpf to rote for tue establishment of aa Agricultural College at the Convection |a Coiomtta, Capt. Brownfield instantly rose and Said that if bo had to go to the Conven? ios handicapped that he would be compelled ta decirse to serre as a delegate. Tbe jesoi u ?oo was pat and carried, aod Capt. Brown feld requested that some other gentleman be ejected ? bis place. As this request was io aisled spas by Capt. Brownfield, Mr. B. P. petty was elected io bia place. After this tao meeting adjourned. $Dj|b?W^tttfiync^ THE TJEGISLATTJKE AT WORK. * -_ Tbe two houses of the Legislature met at noon on yesterday and after tbe usual formal? ities of organisation and Interchange of mes? sages that each body was. duly organized, a committee from each branch waited on the Governor to announce that they were ready for business. Three new members of the House were duly sworn in. The Governor's message, takes tip the State debt, which he states in the aggregate amounts to $6,400,000, of which $277,000 is is estimated as valid bonds issued between I 1868 and 1872 and ante-bellum bonds not consolidated under the Act of 1873. There is every reason to believe that a large portion of these have been lost or destroyed and that the State will never be called upon to redeem them. THE SINKING FUND COMMISSION'S WORK. It is shown by the Sinking Fund Commis? sion that there is now outstanding $420,238 of deficiency bonds and stock due July 1st, 1888- To provide for the payment of these, it is recommended that authority be given the Governor and such others as may be desig? nated to give notice through the papers of the principal money markets of the world, that South Carolina desires to issue bonds for this sum, and-ask for proposals for a loan to be secured by State bonds. COMING RELIEF FOR TAXPAYERS. This adjustment would immediately effect a saving of $8,000 in the interest account, and would be but a foretaste of the relief taxpay? ers will feel when the whole State debt is re? funded in a like manner in 1893. If by maintaining the credit of the State by prompt? ly meeting ber liabilities we succeed in ulti? mately placing the entire debt at 4 per cent., the annual budget will show a decrease in interest charges of $120,000. FORFEITED LANDS. A Regarding forfeited lands the Governor says the bordeas of taxation should fatl equal? ly on alt, but regrets tbat such is not the case io Sooth Carolina. As is seen by reference to the list the lands forfeited for non-payment of taxes at the end of the fiscal year 1886 were 954,237 acres ; the forfeited land list during the year ending October 31, ?887, shows new forfeitures incurred, bringing np tbe total to 1,054,282 acres, and though 42, 298 acres were sold or redeemed and 94,131 were stricken off as erroneous entries daring the past year, there still remains a net acre? age of 914,853. Thongh this is apparently a decrease of 39,383, it is not doe to taxes being more promptly paid, but to the activity of the land department. TBS FCBLXC SCHOOLS. In regard to the public schools it is stated there is an apparent decrease of enrollment, but this is due to the closing of the schools io Georgetown Coocty ander aa Act of the Assembly and to an error of the last return from Berkeley County. There is, however, throughout the State a gradual and constant increase in the number enrolled and the aver? age attendance. Longer terms, and more thoroughly trained teachers are demanded. There should be a general Act providing for local taxation to supplement the school fond, where the community desire schools of a higher grade. TH S SOUTH CAROLINA COLLEGS. The South Carolina College is said tobe in tn encouraging condition and it is stated as4 a gratifying fact that though the law requir? ing tuition became operative this tall, yet the number of matriculates already reached 160, the average to this lime in the past five years being but 162. In speaking of the agricultural department reference is made to the laboratory and the Seid work carried on, and the Governor says, ia the character and extent of itt experimen? tal work this department is not surpassed by loy agricultural college in the country. Favorable consideration is bespoke tor the scheme for the te-organisation of the institu? tion on a university basis, to be submitted by the trustees of the college. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. The department of agriculture is said to be iccomplisbing great good for the State. Its reports show the increase and value in crops, ind that the proportion of fertilizers showing deficiencies in essential ingredients is decreas? ing ; and other matters therein are referred to as showing the value of the department. The Governor commends it to the continued support and encouragement of the Legisla? ture. Governor Richardson thinks that the ques? tion of what to do with the Columbia Canal is one that demands the earnest attention of the Legislature on account of its great value from a business point of view. As to the completion of this Canal it is simply a ques? tion of polity whether or not it would be wise to ibrow away wbat has already been expend? ed upon it. The total cost of the Canal np to the31stof October, 1886, ginee which prac? tically nothing has been expended upon the work, was $130,705.68-$53,130.71 cash, $77,574.97 estimated value of convict labor, $5,130 of which was contributed by Colum? bia. Every cent came from the surplus earn? ings of tbe Penitentiary, so that not one mill of tax has ever been levied or collected for the purpose of developing to completion an enterprise of such magnitode and import? ance to the industrial prosperity of the State. The Governor is sound 00 the convict ques? tion. He and the board are one in opinion that the best place for the employment of convicts is to make them do agricultural labor after the expiration of the present c6otracts. With this in view, negotiations are being made for the purchase of a tract of 4,500 acres in Lexington County. In reference to the jurisdiction of trial justices it is recommended that an Act be passed defining the punishment of petit larceny and other mioor offences, 80 as to bring such cases within jurisdiction of Trial Justice Courts. Attention is called to the grave importance of the establishment of a reformatory institu? tion for youthful criminals. The Blackwood case occupies considerable space in tbe message, tbe correspondence be? tween the Executives of South Carolina and Georgia being given, with the facts as to the indictments found against Stone and McNally in Aiken County. The message conclcdes with general re? marks to the Legislature and expresses the ron?^e^ce in their faithful performance of the iuties io troted to them. B&hcpy?ll? Items.

Hyacinth and Tulip Bulbs at DeLorme's. A Grateful Correspondent. When a recipient of a bottle writes as en? thusiastically of the virtues of Calisaya Tonic as did a daughter in a letter to ber father re? cently, it eau only mean that the Tonic is the best on the market. The letter came from Wilmington, N. C. The writer, after refer? ring to the extraordinary and wearing na? ture of ber household duties recently, says : "I am confident that I never should have held out had it not been for the bracing effects of the admirable Tonic.'' Again the writer says: "I am proud of Greenville's sons. Long live Dr. Westmoreland, and may bis name be wide famed for the preparation of so excellent and palatable a medicine." *.* * Several other highly complimentary refer? ences are made in the letter to the splendid effects' of the Tonic. Westmoreland Bros. only ask any one who is suffering from debil? ity, loss of appetite or malaria, to try their medicine. It is sure to revive and strengthen. "And all it costs is a dollar a bottle."

Three years ago I contracted a blood poison. I applied to a physician at once and bis treat? ment came near killing me. I employed an old physician and then went to Ky. I tben went to Hot Springs and remained two months, but nothing seemed to cure me per? manently, although temporary relief was given me. My condition gew desperate and I applied to a noted quack, but I did not im? prove. I then used a preparation which was prescribed "gratis," but it contained too much . alcohol and aggravated my sufferings. I then placed myselfunder the treatment of a noted Nashville physician and for a time was benefitted, but by fall I returned borne a ruined man physically and financially, with but little prospects of ever getting well. My money being exhausted, I did not know what to do. In May, 1885, my mother persuaded me to get a bottle of B. B. B. (made in At? lanta) and I did so to gratify her, but to my utter astonishment I had not finished the first bottle before every ulcer had been healed. To the present time I have used five bottles and have received more benefit than from all the rest combined ; and I am satisfied that B. B. B. is the moBt wonderful blood purifier ever before known, and I urge all afflicted young men to try one single bottle and be convinced. I can truly say I think it the best medicine in the world. Z. T. HALLERTON. Macon, Ga., May 1, 1886. VERY NERVOUS. For many years I have been afflicted with Rheumatism combined with some Kidney Troubles. Indigestion finally added to my misery and I soon became feeble and very nervous, and my whole system was prostrated Several physicians were employed and nu? merous patent medicines resorted to without benefit. After seeing so many testimonials extolling the wonderful merit of B. B. B., I commenced its use and the effect was like magic. Rheumatic pains ceased, my kidneys were relieved and my constitution improved st once, and I cheerfully recommend it to others who'may be similarly afflicted. Miss S. TOMLINSON. Atlanta, Ga., May 4, 1886. TO THE PUBLIC. CHARLOTTE, N. C., April 21, 1886. After using B. B. B. I unhesitatingly state that it did more good for my Kidney Com? plaint than all other remedies combined. Its action is speedy and I cheerfully recom? mend it for Kidney derangements. T. B. CALLAHAN.
