There are more cases of Piles being cured by this, than all others combined.-Hughson Ligon Co. A cough is not like a fever. It does not have to ron a certain course.

When the thaw set in last week tbe frozen water pipes were released from their icy fet ters Then came the deluge, and the plumb ers were tbe most sought after people in town.

Virginia Warehousemen Backed by Ample Capital Will Bun it. The Tobacco Warehouse b&s been leased to Messrs. R E. Cook &od R. C Adams, of Danville Va and it will be opened for busi ness at the beginning of the tobacco season. The warehouse aod prize houses will be overhauled and put in thorough repair bj the Sumter Tobacco Warehouse Company and the property will be turned over to the lessees io first class condition. Messrs. Gook and Adams are tobacco warehousemen of many years experience and they wili come to Som ter with the most satis factory recommendations from tobacco deal ers and banks of Danville, Va., and they have all the capital needed to mn tba ware house on a substantial business basis In addition io this they have business connec tions with the largest tobacco manufacturers and exporters of Virginia and North Caro lina which guarantees the success and per manency of the warehouse coder their man agement. They have already arranged for a corps of buyers to be stationed here, and the market will not be left to the tender mercies of speculators and pin-bo-okers, whose sole object is to make all the money possible out of the farmers by haying their tobacco at low prices and reselling it on other markets. There will be not less than six or eight regu lar buyers for the American Tobacco Co , and other manufacturers and exporters, and this number may be increased before the sea son opens, as Messrs. Cook & Adams have been at work only a short time and have net completed their arrangements with all of tbs tobacco firms they wish to induce. to station buyers in this city. Tbe outlook for the tobacco market is decidedly encouraging and all that is needed to make it the success it should he is the co-operation and encourage ment of tbe tobacco planters and the busi ness men of this city. Women's Complexions depend for beauty opon Digestion. Dr M. A. Simmons Liver Medicine Regulates the Stomach, Liver and Kidneys and secures the blessings of good Digestion. The high water io tbe Wateree swamp dur ing tbe last week or ten days and the snow and freeze following on its heels have caused great loss to stock owners. The extent of the loss cannot be fuliy estimated as yet, but it is known te be quite serious, for there were large onmbers of cattle and hogs in tbe swamp, and the greater number of thea bove probably been drowned. Tbe stock owners endeavored to get tbe hogs and cattle ont of the Swamp when warning of tbe flood was received, but with indifferent success, the water rising too rapidly to afford sufficient time to collect the the stock and drive them to the high land beyond the reach of the flood. It is said that all of the islands in tbs swamp, where the cattle are accustomed to take refuge in time of flood wore submerged, con sequently those that were unable to swim to the high land were swept away and drowned. W. H. Nisbet, Cash's Depot. S. C., writes : I bad Dyspepsia ; used Zeil i n's Liver Regu lator, bot it did no good. I then tried Dr. M. A. Simmons Liver Medicine ; tbe first package did me good. I continued its us , and was cered. A sluggish Hw canses Drowsiness, Leth argy and a feeling ef Apathy. Dr. M. A. Simmons Liver Medicine arcases the Liver, and cheerful energy succeeds sluggishness. The star route mail carriers for tbe Mann. ville and Smithville routes were not able to make regular trips for several days last week. The roads have been almost impassable and the mail carriers could cot make the round trip ia a day. The Smithville route is twenty miles each way, and as the mail carrier lives about three Bries beyond the Smithville postoffice bc ta to travel forty-six miles six times a week.. This trip was more than a mac or horse could stand in weather such as prevaled from Saturday until Wednesday and it is not to be wondered that the carrier did not make regular schedule time. The Kaanville route is a few miles shorter than the Smithville route, but even that is too long a trip to be lade in oos day when the snow is eight inches deep and the thermometer twenty TO twenty-five degrees below the freezing poict.g Early Morning Fire. Yesterday morning about seven|o'c!ock tbs residence occupied by Mr. H. Manheim, on Dugan Street, was discovered on fire. Tbe alarm was given and tbe fire department responding with usual promptness soon bad the fire under control The fire originated in a piunder room ad joining tbe kitchen.

The exhibition of the powers and mysteries of hypnotism given in the Opera Hon3e last eight by Lee's Hypnotises was decidedly the beat and most surprising thing of tbe ki cd ever seen in this city. Several gentlemen in the audience volunteered to act as subjects and they succumbed to the strange power of the hypnotist and were as clay ia bis bands. They did his bidding and saw only the things that be willed they should see. Ooe man was thrown info a hypnotic Bleep and was carried from the Opera Bouse to Ryttenberg'e store and placed io a bed in tbe front win dow where be now lies in a deep sleep. He will be taken back to tbe Opera House to night and at 10.30 o'clock will be awakened after a sleep of 24 hours. Another man was put under the influence and his body made perfectly rigid. He was then laid across two chairs, bis bead resting on one and his feet on the other, and five men stood on bis body without bending it. The exhibition was in every respect most remarkable. In a recent letter from Washington, D. C., to an old friend, Major G. A. Stoder, for tweoty years United States Consul at Singa pore, says : "While at Des Moines I became acquainted with a liniment kown as Cham berlain's Pain Balm, wbicb I found excellent against rheumatism as well as against sore ness of the throat and chest (giving me much easier breathing). I bad a touch of pneu monia early this week, and two applications freely applied to the throat and chest relieved me of it at once. I would not be without it for anything." For eal by Dr A. J. China.
