The Spartan CHAS. PETTY. Edltor Md Proprietor Wednesday, September 23, 1807. Not So Very Slow. To the Spartanburg Spartan, which aays "Old York is a little slow," we beg to remark that It ie an undispated fact, that the highest evidence of civilized progress that has ever developed any wuere, is iu ine ouuuiug or nrst-ciass public highway*. Vork county set the pace in this kind of progress several years ago. and just at this time the town of Yorkville, in oonjuuotton with the farmer brethreu just without the lini its, and both assisted by the county, is engaged in the building of the most expensive and durable section of public highway ever attempted in this state, outside of an incorporated town or city. We might say something about oar cotton factories and numerous other enterprises; but it is not necessary. The thoughtless suggestion that either York county, or the town of Yorkville, is slow makes us tired.?Yorkville Enquirer. [We take it all back when we call to mind that wonderful highway from Howell's Ferry to Yorkville. We will never call Old York slow again.] The County Bridges. There has beeu some complaint on account of the slow progress of the bridge building. We ma ie some inquiry at the couuty Supervisor's office and ascdrfa'ued 'hat a'root 40 bridges have to be re.?t? d t 'tis yea-. The cost will be about $10,000. Of these six are iron bridge-, two of which are line bridgep, The delay in t lie onstruct!ou of thes? iron liiiil.'t'S lias been ciiin'l iii put by (he > t i k cut West. Til?

The bri ig s wiil be very substantial btructureB and will be pretty sure to stand. We have heard uo specific coinp aints, only the people who me the roads aud need the bridges are getting impatient. If they will call at the cointy cominisdou-r?' ofiioe they will learn the causes of delay. The Manufacturers1 Record of this week, Sept. 15. publishes six pag s of letters iu reply to over 1000 inquiries s sut to the leading inauufacturers of all parts of the country, as to the outlrok for business. These replies, coveriug , J every line of manufacturing industry in every part of the country, Indicate with remarkable unanimity a wonderful increase already felt in industrial affairs, with almost univerral exnres stone of confidence that we have entered upon a long perioi of activity and prosperity in manufacturing interest. At Versailles, Indiana, last week, five men in priHon, were lynched. For a long time a g tug of robbers had been annoying the farmer* of the neighborhood. They would rob, steal and abu e the people. Their coodnct was unbearable. It was difficult to get testimony to convict tbem. Finally some of them were ctught in the act of robbery and carried to jail. The people were so indignant that they forced the jail and killed five of them. Governor Hount has ordered the Sheriff to arrest the lynchers. > Dr. and Mrs. F. A. Miles have gl\eu C;e?ar's Head, including the hotel aud 2.200 acres of laud, to Furinan University. One of the conditions of the gift is that the trustees hive touud themselves to pay au auuuity to Dr. nod Mm. Mi lets so long as they or ei her of them shall live- Mrs. Miles inherited the property from her falher, Colonel Ben Hagoo I. A few sears ago. Dr. Miles refused au titer of $20,000 for the proprty. ^ -4 - ? At Pelhaiu, (ia., the police raided a negro gauib iug deo. The gamblers !> ew out the lights and begau to lire on the posse. Five negroes were shot but not fatally. None of the police were hurt. If it had been a w lute gaug of gamblers they would have used silver bullets and the public would n^-ver have heard of the affair. Th? i-.ro always most profoundly ignorant of t whi'e gambling dens.

The dead men are especially quiet and 81 erlCf Martin seems to think that he is a sort of a hero. The official report of tbe progress oi the yellow fever up to the 16th inst. showed that there were few cases and uot many deaths. Mobile had one case only. The others were iu New Orleani and several small towns iu Southern Mississippi. Only 58 esses and 8 deathc were reported. CONDEMNED. When an innocent man is condemned for any crime he doesn't lose hope. His lawyers appeal from one court to another. They are bound to save him, if he can be saved. It is the same way with a good doctor when his patient seems condemned to death by disease. /^\ Hut doctors make [pf'j mistakes sometimes; they lose heart too soon. After they AV^r AlBf U have tried every- W1 J Sk thing they know and the jiaticnt is I / ' '/Zj^wWk no better, they 1 / think there is nothing more Af, to lie done. / / / ^S5cfi4'-S They don't al- // / ite..

It puts the vital forces into action and fills the circulation with the life-giving red corpuscles which builds up solid, muscular flesh and healthy nerve-force. Mrs. W. IV Duncan, of Arlington, Phelps Co., Mo., writes: "My husband took four bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery when he was ias he thought) almost into consumption, and we were very thankful that such a medicine could be found. I wish all persons troubled with cough would take it Long may the ' Golden Medical Discovery ' and ' Favorite Prescription ' be made. I shall always recommend and praise these medicines." "I will now endeavor to give you a full desc of my b-tsband's illness as near as I .an, ' writes Mrs. M. J. Tedder, of Ellington. Reynold? Co.. Mo. "Eight year* ago last March is t te date when he commenced to take Dt. Pierce's medicine. He was formerly a robustrand hearty looking young man. He was 31 years old when marr ec'.. and that w inter every time he took little cold he woi 1 cough very hard. He bad pains all throe .. h his chest and lungs. Wheu summer * he was feeling well and looking well. Me said he had always coug'ied in the w< er since a child. He was not alarmed at te symptoms as I was. I knew that 1114 m .er and the rest of the fsmilv had that <1 sdful cough and the most of them diet' ith that dreadful disease, consumption.

Then I requested him to try nettling new, or to go to the doctor. He id ' well, if I go to the doctor I will go to I, \ and go there to stay. I will never get we if I depend upon the doctor's mediciny.' liy this time he was cutting very weak, i had no appetite, so be went to the dru? :ore and the druggist asld to him 'well I < .ink it the best for vou t>? go to the doctor.'

'Well, -vd the druggist, I will g.ve you Dr. Pierc i medicine, and you crn try it as I belie . is the best medicine I nave in invstore. >u can give it a trial."
