It comes from the stomach. The stomach makes it out of undigested food. The blood gets it ond taints the whole body with it That's the way of it. The ; way to be rid of it is to look after your digestion. If your food is all properly digested, there will be none left in the stomach to make sick poison out of. Tf your stomach is too weak to see to this properly by itself, help it along witb a few doses of Shaker Di tres ti ve Cordial. That's the core of it. Shaker Digestive Cordial is a delici?os, beaitbfol, tonic cordial, made of pure medi? cinal plants, herbs and wine. It positively cures indigestion and prevents tbeformatioo of sick-poison At druggists. Trial bot t'es 10 cents Lamp Shad* Frames.

The cotton crop is about ail picked, add the money for it is io the pockets where it has been all the year. Financially we are io the superlative degree. Daniel Webster said "there.is always room at the top;" but I think in mocey matters the top is rather scarce at this time. The sale of cotton seed bas assumed gigan? tic proportions. In a bhort time there will be none left*, except the planting seed The canse of this is conveyed io one word; Necessity. There ia no hope for a better state of affairs until the planting system is changed. We are surely goiog from bad to worse. Ur. B. H.

Graham's farm in Turkey Creek was complet? ed on Saturday and a flow of 32 gallons per minute obtained. The well is four inches la diameter and is 140-feet in depth. At a depth of 80 feet a stratum of quana ten inches in thickness was encountered and the task of drilling through it was the most dif? ficult undertaking that has attended the sink? ing of any of the wells bored in this vicinity. The water is clear and cold and is excellent for all QMS to which it will be put. Tbe well is situated at the highest point of tbe farm lying ou the South side of the W. C. & A. railroad track and it is Mr. Graham's intention to make an experiment in strawberry culture by irrigation from this well. There is a gradual fall from the well and it will be a matter of no great difficulty to irrigate aa many acres as the well furnish? ers water to supply, If the experiments prove successful from a financial standpoint additional wells can be put down along the coper edge of the farm, the entire place will be platted in berries and every acre ade? quately irrigated. As the place bas been thoroughly drained by a sjstem of open ditches and under drains the surplus water will give no trouble but will be carried into tbe Turkey Creek Canal, which bisects the farm. The success that bas attended Mr Graham's berry farm during the past two years gives reason to the belief that bis present increase of acreage and improvement in methods cf culture viii result in even greater success, and the production of berries superior to tbe very fine ones his farm produced so abundant? ly already. The experiment is interesting at all events and will be watched and studied with care by progressive farmers, for a success on a Urge scale will open up great possibilities to the farmers of this section of the country in which artesian wells can be sunk at small expense.

A falling barometer to-day, the 8th, indicates the prob? ability of rain in a day or two. Hold Cotton, New York, Nov. 8.-Walter T. Miller, treasurer of the New York cot? ton exchange, who returned from Eu? rope a few days ago, made the follow? ing statement to-day concerning the cotton morket. "I found the general situation with regard to trade and commerce favor? able and by no means unsatisfactory, as I understand has been the impres? sion in America for the past month cr two. Certainly in England and on the oontinent just the contrary was the case. As to the prices of manufao tared goods, of oourse buyers decline to buy long stock as long as the sooth persists in offering cotton down. When enough of the cotton is marketed to relieve the producer aod be feels able to bold some cotton, buyers of manu? factured goods and traders in cotton will probably be anxious to invest in both. Take JOHNSON'S CHILL & FEVER j MILITIA AT FAIR. What Thursday's Military Parade Will Be. ---- Thirty-One Commands Will Par? ticipate in the Parade. The military parade, review and sham battle on Thursday will be one of the best ever seen in the State. This is a plain, unvarnished state? ment of fact The outlook for suc? cess of this feature could not be brighter. It is perfectly safe to say that 1,000 or more soldiers will par? ticipate in the parade and in the sham battle, which will follow it. The military committe has spared no pains to make this feature attractive in all its details. <^ To-morrow the troops will beging arrive by every train Some will get here in the forenoon ; some at night and a few will be unable to come until Thursday morning. The Charleston contingent will arrive to? morrow evening at 7 o'clock, coming on a special train via tbe Atlantic Coast Line The Charleston battal? ion will be the "color battalion" of what is to- be known as tbe "First Provisional Regiment, S. C. V. T." Up to the present time there are 31 commands that have notified the com mittee that they will be in Columbia. Practically all of the troops will go into encampment at the fair grounds. Yesterday the work of potting np the camp was completed Everything is in readiness at the mess hall. The Darlington Guards propose to accept cf the hospitality of the committee at the mess hall bot tbe company will be quartered along with the Clemson cadets in the Kendall building. This company will bring a band along. The camp has not yet been named. The committee will select a suitable ..ame to-day. As yet it is not known whether the Clemson cadet corps will be per? mitted to stay"over through Thursday so that the cadets can take part in the parade. The committee, howev? er, hopes to prevail upon President Hartzog to allow them to do so. In addition to the regular troos a detachment of cadets itum the Orangebnrg Collegiate institute, con? sisting cf about 30 cadets, will be here and will take part in the parade and sham battle. They will be in cbarge of Commandant P. J. Owens. Among tbe Charleston troops will be two detachments of the several re? serves. This evening the Clemson cadets will arrive on a special train. They will be immediately marched to their quarters in the Kendall bnilding. Another Decrease In the Earnings of the State Dispensary. On account of the absence of Mr. M. R. Cooper of the State board of con? trol, the board did notbiog but list the bids for this* month's supply of liquor when it met yesterday morning. Commissioner Vance's report shows a falling off io the sales of this Octo? ber as compared with the same mooth last year of $43,166 15. His report is BS follows : , Gentlemen : I have the hooor here? with to submit my report for the month of October. COMPARATIVE STATEMENT. Cash received Oct '96. $135,065 88 Cash received Oct. '97, 91,899.73 Difference, $ 43,166.15 I attribute this large difference to tbe competition of the original package shops and the blind tigers, but princi? pally to the low price of cotton and the general depressed financial condition of the country. It affords me pleasure to inform you that notwithstanding this large difference in cash received, that we have met promptly every obligation of the State dispensary when presented and that I now have $20,000 ready 'to pay to the free school fund. He makes the following statement of the liquors on band : Total of rye, 195 barrels; of oom, 306; total of both, 501 barrels Liquors in transit-90 barrels of oom. Liquor needed-Corn whiskey, 300 barrels ; rye, 160 barrels. Col Jones offered the following : Resolved, That the committee be instructed to pay to the State treasurer on Nov 9, $25*000; on Deo 1, $20, 000, and on Jan 1, 1898, $25,000 ; and that tbe same be charged to the school fund Mr. Williams did not think the board would be justified in adopting the above. If the money were oa band he was williog ?o tum it over to the State treasurer, but it wa3 bis opioioo that promises of payments should not be made unless they could be kept Col Joues urged that it would keep the people posted on the ftoancial out? look of the dispensary aod would strengthen (he institution io the popu? lar mind. At the suggestion of Mr. Williams, Col. Jones withdrew his resolution uutil Mr Cooper could bo preaeot. Tho board will meet, ibis morning. The sessions will likely consume seve? ral days -The State mm> i ? i - tm? We have bright, honorable merchants in this town, and they give the public what it WEYLER IN TROUBLE. Madrid, Nov. 5 -The Spanish government, as a re&uit of the delibera? tions of the ministers over the utter? ances of Generei Weyler, the former captain genera! of Coba, has come to the decision to try him by court-mar? tial, oo matter where be laods, if he confirms the accuracy of the press re? ports of his utterances. The command? ing officers at ali the ports of the Spanish kingdom have been instructed to demand of General Weyler, the moment he can be communicated with, the exact terms of the speeches which he delivered io reply to the manifesta? tion at Rayana upon the ocoasion of his embarkation for Spain on Sunday. The steamer Montserrat, cn which General Wey 1er sailed for Spain on Sunday, on Wednesday, as oabled to the Associated Press, reaobed Gibara, on the northwest coast of Cuba, with ber engines disabled, and may be com? pelled to return to Havana, in which case it is not unlikely that there will be interesting developments. The Chainless Columbia. 0 HARTFORD, CONN., October 26, 1897. Mr. D. James Winn, Sumter, S. C. : Dear Sir : Replying to yonr favor of the 23rd inst., we realize that $125 is something in advance over the regular Columbia price of $75, bot we are sure that when you bave bad OD opportunity to examine one of these ma? chines you will agree with as that it is worth its price. As a matter of fact the expense of manufacture of the Cbaioless Colombia is considerably greater than that of the other machines? the utmost care io getting ont the parts b??m| necessary. To give you an idea of the nicety of tbe work, we would state that one of our workmen volunteered the statement thal he considered the gearing much finer work than that in Chronometer watches, in the assembling of which be had been employed for a number of years. The Chainless machines promise tp be very popu? lar, and w? have already booked an enor? mous number of orders for them, despite the fact that they have been on the market only a short ttme. It bas created a sensation over tbe country, which has been unequalled by anything of the kind. The first day that the Chainless machine was on exhibition in New York, the 21s', nearly 30,000 people visited the two stores of our Branch Booses and there examined the machine. We have not yet issued our regular cata? logue for the '98 line, bat we shall send yea very soon a preliminary catalogue which will give you cuts and description of the various new models. We are confident you will be pleased with the line. Yours truly, POPS MANUFACTURING CO. NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS. ? NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that I will be in my office in the Court House at Sumter from October 15th to December 318t, next, for the collection of taxes for tbe pres? ent fiscal year, and for collection of commu? tation road tax for 1898. It is very important, for two reasons, that you should pay up earlier than usual. In the first place, my salary having been re? duced twenty per cent, by tbe last Legisla? ture renders it impossible for rae to employ my usual clerks, hence with the usual rush toward the last, many will fail to get io. In the second place, the Auditor bas never re? quired heretofore that the tux books be turn? ed over to him promptly for making up the penalty book. He has already notified me that on accouot of a change in the Law regu? lating the work of his office that be would be compelled to have the books as required by Law, so that I am compelled to close up on Dec. 31st N.B. lu view of the above reasons don't put off till the last and then expect me to protect yon. It will be imnossible H. L SCARBOROUGH, Treasurer Sumter County. Sept 22 LANDS WANTED. PERSONS WITH LANDS F' " SALE are requested to pot them ? -y bands tor sale.

November 15, -TO Saturday, November 20? SAME PLACE, SAME PRICES, SAME BARGAINS, AS THE FIRST ONE. Unheard of Low Pri?es. We take thia means of informing yon that in response to many re? quests we are going to hold another Bargain Fair for one week Our Fair held in October was a big success in quantity of gooda sold, low prices, satisfied buyers, etc., if not financially. With the present price of cotton, which seems to be trying to get under 5 cents, it is impossible for ns to ex? pect to dispose of our large stock at our usual profits. We have considered the question carefully, and have decided as follows : Hav?Dg bought a very large stock in anticipation ef a good crop and good prices, and these two necessary things not coming forth, ?t is better to sell what we have at an extremely low figure thao to carry over till better times. We have there? fore decided to comply with the requests of those who were not ready to buy last month, or bad not sold cotton, and hold another Bargain Fair, with the same prices as the last one Every one of our customers were pleased with the bargains they got. Persons not in the habit of dealing with us were delighted to find we had exactly what we advertised. We will be pleased to have you come to our second Fair and help make it a bigger success than the first, and at the same time buy what you need for winter use. Please remember that all goods are as advertised, or money refunded We will not take up much space with talk. You remember the last fair.
