A MAYBSVILLE CE2?TBK UTAiV Ur. McDonald Furman Suggests That the Centennial Anniversary cf Squire Mayes Birth be Cele? brated. Mr. Editor: I write to suggest another Cen? t?n ni al-this time to be held at Majesville. On NOT. 24, 1794, Matthew Peterson Mayes was born in Virginia. He was a soldier of the war of 1812, and afterwards removed to th?3 county. Mao/ who glance at these lines will remember "Squire Mayes," for be was a ? man of prominence in this county, and was one of those who represented it in the most important political convention that has ever assembled in Sooth Carolina during tbe pre I refer to theuSeceasion Convention." When his death occurred, nearly sixteen years ago, he not only left a village bearing his name, bot what was better the memory of an honorable christian life. For upwards of a qnarter of a century he served the Salem Brick Cbarch as a ruling elder. It has been said "his name was a synonym for integrity." When we consider the position Squire Mayes occupied in this county, consider bis high character, also consider that one of the most important villages in the county bears his honored name, would it not be eminently appropriate for the citizens of that village to assemble together and celebrate the centennial anniversary of his birth ? The celebration cou Id be held in the Ma? sonic Hall of Mayesville, abd a free invitation extended to the public to atteod. The 24th - of November comes this1 year on Saturday-a . day which would suit for such a celebration. . Music (either instrumental or vocal) could probably be secured free for the occasion and the progaamme could be something like this: A brief address of welcome from the Intend? ant of Mayesville, next music, then an add ress on Squire Mayes, bia life and character, no doubt some friend could hs found who would be glad .to perform.this pleasant task ; the address could be followed by music; next there could be a brief address on Mayesville, its growth, present condition and future pros? pects, and then the programme could close with music. I would suggest that if the cen? tennial is held, the town officers of Mayesville, in connection with Squire Mayes's descend? ants, arrange the programme and select the speakers. The centennial would not cost anything, for I have oo doubt if Tocal music is wanted, - the choir of the Salem Brick Church and per? haps other persons would he pleased to sing on this occasion. The celebration would be an event out of the usual rnn of things-it would have a tendency to make the people of Mayesville feel more interest in their town and it would bring to the attention of the younger generation the memory of a man whose high character woald be a bright example to them. MCDONALD FURMAN. Ramsey, P. CMtet.^13,J894, Mr. Thomas Writes More Ration? ally. Editor Watchman and Southron: It would not become me to reply to your sarcasm against "the Great Pug-a-Wug of High Hills" or to your spiteful flings agaiastthe Reformers of Sumter County. W- will just keep oar fight over past issues in abeyance until the next primary. You have again pledged yourself aud taken an oath to support the nominees of the Dem? ocratic party. The individual vote of a news? paper does not mean support, it is expected that yon will cease to antagonize and say what yon can to induce others to support the ticket. I am told by some of the Conserva? tive faction (and they would do their faction no wrong) and hy some of the Republican leaders that Mr. Johnston will get many of the Conservative votes of this county. I tell you this in no spiteful spirit, but tell you in order that you might give Mr. Stokes the * Democratic nominee for Congress the influ? ence and support of your paper in accordance with your pledge an? your oath, I beg you earnestly to do tbis. Mr. T. B. Johnston seems tc be, personally, a very nice and respectable gentlemen, but we are concerned about him politically. Mr. Johnston was introduced to the people of this county by the negro, bis political association is with the negro and he is the negroes' candi? date. If he was elected to Congress his asso? ciates would be amoog the Republicans of the North, the very people-who hate, curse, abuse and oppress the people of the South. I can't understand how any thinking man can tolerate independentism, but we have seen it. I can't understand bow any South? ern white mao coo id be so forgetful of the past indignities heaped upon our people, when Republicans appealed to the U. S. Govern? ment to aid them with bayonets io trampling our people, women and children under the heel of tbe negro and carpetbagger, one of whom was Mr. T. B. Johnston. God grant that we may never see a Sumter County white man vote for him as one of the surprises of the political drama. Again, Mr. Johnston has accumulated money and is a moaey lender. Every interest of his is with the bondholder? and money lenders who are oppressing us and giving us five cent cotton for our hire. Every interest of bis is diametrically opposed to the negro whom he seeks to represent. Mr. Brayton who was the regular Republican nominee but who report says was bought by Mr. Johnston, was more Dearly identified with both whites and negroes and like Murray would have voted against a contractioa of the currency which is fast robbing our white people of their homes and the negroes of all chances of profit? able employment. No sensible white man could vote for Mr. Johnston and no negro who cares for bis starviug race will do it. The Democratic nominee Dr. J. Wm. Stokes, is a gentleman of refined, polished manners, a deep thinker and a convincing talker. He is thoroughly identified with the people, both white and black. His bread and meat like ours depends upon the products of the soil and upon the prosperity of the people. He knows that the less money, there is per capita, the more must people borrow to do business. He knows, for he is one of us, the scarcer money becomes the more of the pro? ducts of the people's labor it takes to obtain it. Therefore, we can safely count on every act ard every word of his, being in the interest of the busioess men and products of Sumter County. His political associations in Con? gress would be with the men of the South, producers like ourselves. Dr. Stokes would aid and strengthen his brother Congressmen from other States, struggling like we are against oppression, which looks like whole? sale bankruptcy and ruin. I therefore raise my feeble voice against any division at the general election, which will lend to separate and disintegrate the uoited white strength of Sumter County, against scratching a single name off the Democratic ticket, and against staying at home when every vote is needed. I appeal to all with whom I might have influence, to turn out on election day and cast your solid vote for every man whom the Democratic party has placed in nomination, be he Tillmanite, or Straight out.

There is BO medicine so often needed in every home and so admirably adapted to the purposes for which it is intended, as Cham? berlain's Pain Balm. Hardly a week passes but some member of tbe family has need of it. A toothache or headache may be cured by it. A touch of rheumatism or neuralgia quieted. The severe pain of a burn or scald promptly relieved and the sore healed in much less time that when medicine has to be sent for. A sprain may be promptly treated before ioflamation sets in which insures a cure in. about one-third of the time other? wise required. Cuts and bruises should re? ceive immediate treatment before the parts become swollen, which can only be done when Pain Balm is kept at band. A sore throat may be cured before it becomes serious. A troublesome corn may be removed by ap? plying it twice a day for a week or two. A lame back may be cured and several days of valuable -time saved or a pain io the side or chest relieved without paying a doctor bill. Procure a 50 cent bottle at once and you will never regret it.

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to core Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin? ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect bearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tobe restored to its normal condition, hearing will ! be destroyed forever ; nine cases out of ten ' are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but j an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. ! We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J.
