THAT QUEER PROPOSITION.


Mr.. EDITOR see in your issue Of The 9Th inst,
the following paragraph; 1890.
W. w. CHEEvER proposes 10 exchange rich lands
in Southwestern Georgia for worn OUT feds in
higher latitude. What does that mean, we wonder7
Can Col. S. c., throw any light upon this queer
proposton7
Now, sir, the light would attempt to throw upon
the subject is this: Co.. w. W. CnErvrs owns
many thousands of acres Of rich and very productive
lands in South Western Georgia, improved and un-
improved; and now that various railroads are
finding their way through that section, he suppose)
wishes to avail himself Of the opportunity Of chang
ging his investment and making his capital more
active. He proposes to take old and worn out
lands as you say, in Alabama or Georgia, and will
doubt take them in good localities. For these he
will allow, in the exchange a reasonable valuation
receiving the rest s his pay in cash. This difference
you will see, gives him the advantage of operating,
with cash, in Railroad stocks or any other enter
prize that presents itself. hope this explanation
will do you
And now, Alr. EDITOR, If you will sell your poor
but very pretty pine land Place. with all your hand
some Improvements (or which you could perhaps
get $40 an acre) Col. CnEEvER would sell you
plantation for $S or $40 per acre, one aero Of
which would produce more than any three that you
plant, in corn, cotton, or anything else even should
it be Sugar. S. G

SHADOWS OF "LoNG AGo.'
When the shades of evening lower
Ger this earth of light and love,
Stealing with their solemn power
Thro' our hearts where Ter we rove,
Shadows Of the past come creeping
AS the gloom shuts out the glow j.
And our souls are sadly weeping
At the grave Of Long Ago.
Long Ago, bright flowers wero springing,
In my path of golden light;
Now their faded bloom is bringing
Mem'ries of lost loves delight,
Then was there voice to greet me,
Full of melody and low
A fathers arms once oped to meet me
Fondly, but twas Long Ago!
Now that voice is dumb forever
In the grave for aye tits hushed-
Death palsied those dear arms, and ever
From his true heart, life's love chrushed.
What wonder then the shadow fingers
Ever round life's pathway now,
Vixen mem'ry with its mystic fingers
Still traces forms of Long Ago7
Then, life seemed q fairy day-dream,
sunbright morns, with dewy ewes
Now along my troubled life-stream
Lonely glide the withered leaves;
And we re dreaming, thro' the twilight,
Ofthe past, its JOY and woe;
And the calm aud peaceful starlight
Finds us still with Long Ago!

she would wait the cooperation of her Sister.

cooperation and combined action on tho part Of
the Southern States, we in South Carolina must so!
shape our course as not to bring our prudence in

THE SURE ROAD TO FAME AND FORTUNE.

We take it to be demonstrabe fact that no
discovery or invention worth advertising at all
can be advertised too extensively. The m an
whose mental vision is darkened by miserly in.
stncts, whose soul lies in his breeches pocket
cannot understand this and If such on one in
his mole.like groupings, should chance upon some
new and useful truth, he would be afraid to take
the sure road to celebrity, which lies through
the columns of the press, lest he should be ru.
ned by the tolls What contrast does the
brilliant and beneficial career of Prof. Holloway
present 10 the blind stupidity of such man.
Having perfected, after many years of laborous
research and experiment, two remedies which lie
knew, with positive certainly, were absolute
specifics for nearly every internal and external
malady incident TO humanity, he determined at
once to give them wider publicity than any
other medicine had ever attained. His motive
was noble and benevolent. He felt that he pos.
sessed the power of mitigating suffering and
waging successful war with diseases heretofore
unconquerable, aud like good champion he
fearlessly entered the lists. Had he been moved
by avarice instead of philanthropy he could not
have taken surer or shorter path to wealth.
The plan of advertising preparations, which ac-
tually accomplished all that empircism had ever
Promised or medical orthodoxy attempted, of
course proved self remunerative. He flooded
every nation with his advertisements, he perva-
ded the whole world with his medicines, and
the world repaid him with shower of gold
We verify believe that there is no possible
means of disseminating information among men
that he ha. not adopted in giving nvtoriety TO
lfi.s pissand 0iasme
The Hon. Mahlon Dickinson, Of New Jersey,
once satricsly likened the poles to<big flag
staffs and we have little doubt that if they oere
hugslaffs Holloway would contrive to have bit
of bunting nailed 10 each with his name and
address inscribed upon il. In fact, such is the
enterprise and irrepressibc energy of the man.,
that we should scarcely be surprised to hear Of
lhe virtues of his medicines being inscribed on
the desert sands of mid Africa or traced in the
eternal snow that caps the peaks of the Andes.
His central Office for this hemisphere (he maps
out his advertising ground by hemispheres) 80
Maiden Lane, has only been established abo ut
two years. and yet probably there are not five
hundred adults out of our population of thirty
millions who have not heard of HoIloway's Pills
and Ointment. BE this as it may, il is q slatis-
tica! fact, verified by the books of The establish
ment, that more than half million of persons
have within that time purchased Interpretations
at the New York Office and its Country Agcn-
ces. Could the amount Of good they have
effected in that PERIOD in the United States
alone, be computed and placed on record, 1t
would of itself form one of the proudest nonu-
ments of success to which Jealous philanthropy
on the one hand and popular appreciation on
the other have ever contrbuted.-N. Y. Day
