Shiloh Letter.
SHILOH, S. C., March 2, '95.
Editor Watchman and Southron : The few
d ay s of fair and pleasant (old uncle Ned says
''workable") weather has thrown the mantle
cf encouragement around some of our depress?
ed farmers and caused them to rally around
the plow.
The oat crop now, as we see it, is off 50 per
cent, of a certainty, if not more. Some of
onr farmers, although supplied with oat seed
wiil not plant Ulis season, as they say it is !
too late. Later on they would very likely
he rained by the May drouth, aod grass and
weeds, unless very highly fertilized. The !
ground bas dried off very rapidly.
Mr. Boyce Truluck bas the neatest log \
tobacco barn in the country. He is also one
of the neatest farmers in the county.
Mr. W. J. Keels bas moved back to the old
homestead, and is near us again, we are
pleased to say. Mr. James L. Keels, his
brother, has moved to Mr. J. D. Friersoo's
place, where be will farm this year. Mr.
Frierson, above mentiooed, is in Florida
moved there about two years ago. He is now
anxious to return to this State on account of
losses sustained by the late disastrous freeze.
.People here who have relatives in Florida, re?
ceive gloomy accounts from thereof late. Mr. J
Henry Dennis (son of Mr. J. Alex. Dennis) j
went to Florida with his family, and wrote
home that ne was getting ready to return in
ten days after he got there, so scarce was !
employment and money. He is now safely ?
back. So many tobacco barns have been
reared aronod here recen t'.y, that we are
tempted to cali this section "TobaccoTown."
ia a village not very remote is a negro lad
just crawling ont of bis "teens," who con?
templates preaching in the near future, and
employs his leisure time in "searching the
scripture" preparatory to entering his chosen
profession. The family who bas this youth
employed (we will call bim Jerry "for short" )
as a yard servant, noticed sometime ago that
be seemed absorbed in deep study and disin?
clined to bis usual cheerful manner, while
performing different chores around the
premises. So while Jerry was shoveling the
snow from the door-steps, during the late
freeze, Mrs. A. says, Jerry, why are you so
sulky of late? (J.) Notbin' ma'am, only I'm
thinking, and "wish <o ask a question and see
if anybody can answer it. (Mrs. A.) All
right, ask your question. (J.) Well Miss
wb& t's the reason no nigger Jews ever come
to this country? (Mrs. A.) Why Jerry there
are no such creatures.as-Negro Jews; where
did yon get the idea? (J.j Why ma'am, I
got my 'tbority troca the Bible and I believe
everything in it. It says bow Christ had a
talk with Nigger-demus, who is a big man
among the Jews, and lean show it right in
the Bible. (Mrs. A.) Well, well, Jerry ! You
may have a call yet. (J.) May be so ma'am,
but who'll call? (Mrs. A.) Barnum! The
above is no manufactured story, but really
did occur, recently. OCCASIONAL.
What the Old and Young Folks
of Salem are Doing.
SARDINIA, S. C., Feb. 28 '95.
The Daily Item: The great snow
having melted away, business here bas
resumed its normal condition, and al?
though our little town is yet an infant
mun ici pa li ty, for one to see the number
of loads of fertilizers, goods, &c., being
daily received and hauled away from
oar depot, the hurry and bustle of mer?
chants and clerks, he would compare it
very favorably with cities like Sumter
or Manning.
The farmers here are very mach in?
terested in tobacco growing; those who
planted it last year as an experiment
are highly delighted with their success,
and have doubled their crop io it for
this year. Bright yellows, mahogany
wrappers, and dark fillers are
the leading subjects of discussion
among the farmers. There will be
about 250 acres plaoted within a few
miles of town, and I feel safe in pre?
dicting 800 or 1000 acres to be grown
in this County. The merchants here are
agitating the building of a tobacco ware?
house, as they can't afford to allow
Sumter and Darlington to draw trade !
from their very door steps because we
have not the conveniences for market- !
ing their produce. We will have it, too,
as our merchants never undertake an !
enterprise of this kind without carrying ?
it through. But in case we should
fail, we would be glad to have one even
as fer as Sumter, as it is very inconve
nient for tbe farmer to haul his tobac
co 40 or 50 mile3 to Darlington or Flor- j
ence while Sumter is only 20 miles
away a?d oan just as easily offer them
this advantage.
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Garland enter-1
tained a few friends in a very royal
manner on last Friday evening, in hon?
or of Miss Maude Garland of Monroe
N. C. The guests commenced to
arrive at 8 30 o'clock and by 9 o0
o'clock the parlors and sitting-room
were crowded to the utmost with
the chivalrous elite of old Salem.
At ll o'clock the doors of the dining
room were thrown open and refresh?
ments served in such a manner as to
tempt the most fastidious. Truly has
it been said that
"We can live without poetry, music and art,
We can live without friends and live with?
out heart,
We can live without lore and live without
books.
Bat civilized man cannot live without
cooks."
After the delicacies had been dealt
with to the fratitsfactioo of all preseot,
the tables chairs, ?fee, were cleared
away aod thc flour turned over to the
! lovers of Terpsicore who gilded aud
marched the merry German until the
shrill clarion of the night announced
the approach of another day.

evening toilettes were amoog those pre
sent :

Congress Adjourns. ?
WASHINGTON, March 4--The Fifty
third Congress came to ao eod to-day
with the usual interesting incidents.
In the Senate, the closing scene was
marked with the dignity which char?
acterizes that body on formal occasions
of state in the presence of as many
spectators as could possibly crowd into
the galleries. Hundreds and hundred?
of others were disappointed io their
endeavors to witness the end, and were
obliged to content themselves with
standing in line outside the entrances
to the galleries. That the House is
actually, as well as constitutionally,
the popular branch of the legislature,
was amply proved by the flattering at?
tendance of spectators. Those who
failed to find seats there wandered over
to the Senate, only to be again disap?
pointed, and the philosophers all coo
tented themselves with attending the
session of the Supreme Court. A
hearty cheer from a hundred numbers,
marked the closing scene in the
House, &3 Speaker Crisp with a sharp
rap of his gavel declared the Fifty
third Congress to an end.
The strain of the past few days was
over, and the tired members celebrated
their release from offioial duty with
bands and feet and lungs. It was an
interesting scene and the hundreds of
people in the crowded galleries enjoyed
it to the fullest. A theatrical manage?
ment would have been flattered at the
attendance. As early as 7 o'clock spec?
tators began to appear, and it is wor?
thy of remark that the first comers
were women. By 9 o'clock the galleries
were comfortably filled ; at 10 the last
had been taken and fiften miuutes
later people were thronging the corri?
dors outside the gallery doors in the
hope that they might have the oppor?
tunity of seeing the Democratic House
pass into history. The members on the
floor made merry as the clock's haods
moved on rapidly towards the hour of !
adjournment. The great majority who
were not coming back to the sessions
of the Fifty-fourth Congress, passed
amoog their fortuoate aod uofortuoate
colleagues, saying good-byes. Little
groups gathered here aod there aod ex?
pressed their relief that the agony was
over in telling stories and explaining
what they intended to do as private
citizens. It was a noisy, good-natured
throng.
Persons troubled with the difficulties
of French pronunciation may now buy
a phonograph cylinder containing test
words and phrases done with the most
beautiful accent.
The Hotel fever is beginning to strike
Atlanta. A number of practical peo?
ple are figuring on structures of all
sorts and sizes, from an eight-story
granite hotel to the cheapest temporary
structures. Parties from the outside
are showing interest in the problem,
and it is believed that a great building
era is on Atlanta. The architects have
more than they can do, and a number
of residences are ready to be let to con?
tractors for construction.
"Perhaps you would not think so, but a
very large proportion of diseases fn New
York come from carelessness about catcbicg
cold," says Dr. Cyrus Edson. "It is 3uch a
simple thicg and so common that very few
people, unless it is a case of pneumonia, pay
any attention to a cold. There are a great
many cases of catarrh and consumption
which have their origin in this neglect of the
simplest precaution of every day life. The
mo9t sensible advice is, when you have one,
get rid of it as soon as possible. 3y all
means do not neglect it." Dr. Edson does j
not teli you how to cure a cold but we will, j
Take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It will j
relieve the lungs, aid expectoration, opeu the j
secretions and soon effect a permanent cure.

PALPITATION OF THE HEART.
Shortness of Breath, Swell?
ing of Legs and Feet.
"For about four years I was trou?
bled with palpitation of the heart,
shortness of breath and swelling of
the legs and feet. At times I would
faint I was treated by the best phy?
sicians in Savannah, Ga., with no re?
lief. I then tried various Springs,
without benefit. Finally I tried
Dr. Miles' Heart Cure
also his ??erve and Liver Pills. Af?
ter beginning to take them I felt better! I
continued taking them and I am now
in better health than for many years.
Since my recovery I have gained fifty
