Again, in a confidential circular got ur
by the Federalists of Lancaster dated June
3, 1928, to secure the election of Mr. Gregg
for Governor, over the Democratic candi-
date, Mr.. Shuttle, Mr.. buchanan said:
"Mr. Gregg, although not Federalists,
has always beer considered an honest and
enlightened politician. =
''He has acted a leading part in the ad-
ministration of General Hester, and de-
serves much of the credit to which it is en-
titled. We are assured he resisted with
all bis energey, the adoption of the meas
ures which justly gave SO much offence to
the Federalists of Lancaster county.
The memoir again says:
"He was the warm and ardent defender
of the administration of Monroe, the active
opponent of the administration of John
Quincy Adams. and the consistent and
trusted friend of Andrew jackson"
MIR. Monroe was elected President In 1916.
and again in 1921, and MIR. Buchanan was
Federalists until 1928, when be shifted
his position to jackson man." and was
elected to Congress as such. but not as a
Democrat, as about that time he, to secure
the Federalists to vote for him, told prom

Democratic blood an his Ueins, lie ,could

mistake as to his having been an ardent
defender of the administration of Mr. Mon

is not very definite, and we will give his

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC,

Since the introduction of my Schiedam Aro-

of Liquor Mixers in New York, Boston and Phil
adelpbia have been engaged in putting up mixed
and poisonous Gin in green cases and Jugs, and to
be palmed off upon the unwary for my genuine
Schnapps- have directed my agents to institute
legal proceedings against all persons who they
may ascertain to be engaged in this most atroci-
Gus system of deception, and call on tie press
and the public to aid them in their efforts to
remedy great evil.

WARLICk'S PATENT PLOW,
MANUFACTURED BY
SH RIP, CHI ASE Il CO.,
CANInEN ARK,C


Ialsd tlsdaeed p,sTi TO 1tE the IsIas PIaaters ss 49,
OF this State is the best, most AfnASA
durable, and simple Plow, "for all work" ever
introduced to the public. 1t was pateIted In
April, 1855, by Noah Warlick, of Alabama. 1t
has wrought iron foot attached to the common
stock, and combines, in one Plow. any number
of points; as. for example. the New-ground Cut
ter. the Subsoil. Turning Plow, Cultivator, Sweep
or Cotton Scraper, and in fact any kind OF Pow
that NAV be required. can readily be adjusted
to the same stock, and set to run to any depth
that is desired, and any of the changes in the
points can be made in one minute, without the
aid of mechanic.
The Plow complete, with one point. is offered
at the moderate price of SEVEN DOLL AIRS.
II is so simple in its construction that any good
blacksmith can make them with facility, while
any ordinary hand can make the stock. 1t can
also be used with or without the bar landslide.
This Plow received the Premiums at the State
Agricultural Fair, held a: Atlanta, Georgia, in
September, 1855, and at the South Carolina State
Fair the same fall an6 also at the Union Agri-
cultural Fair for Virginia and North Carolina,
held at Petersburg, Va, in Nov 1855.
The Manufacturers, SHARP, CHASE & Co., at
Camden Arkansas, will, in short time, be pre-
pared to fill orders to almost an unlimited extent,
and all orders addressed to them or to B. L.
BRITTIN & CO., Washington, will meet with
prompt attention, and in all cases where the Plow
does not give entire satisfaction, it is distinctly
understood that the purchaser has the privilege
of returning it. and the money will be refunded
