l.. No person other than a citizen of this
State is entitled, under the act of the Lcgisla-
ture, to receive an Artificial Leg.
2. The person applying, must appear before
the clerk Of the court for the district in which
he resides, and satisfy that officer that he Is
citizen, that he lost his leg during the recent
war, and is embraced within the provisions of
the act of the assembly aforesaid. Tho clerk
will thereupon give such person an original
and duplicate certificate under the seal of the
court, certifying that the party is, entitled to
receive leg.
B. The clerks Of the courts have had for
warded to them blank for!ns for measuring the
stump. Each e;!..izen will procure two of these
on Obtaining his certificates. After carefully
making tho measurements, as directed in the
form, he will enclose the original certificate
and measurement to DR.. Douglass BLY,, Char
lesion, s. q.
The duplicate certificate he will retain in his
possession, until he receives notice that his per-
sonal presence is srequired at DR.. Blys Office,
for tho purpose of adjusting the leg to the
stump. Upon exhibiting this certificate to the
conductors Of the several railroads of the State,
they will doubtless give him free transporta-
tion, going and returning, one time, the Logis-
lature having In the act requested the railroad
companies to furnish transportation free of cost,
and each conductor will make such endorse
ment upon the certificate aswill prevent it from
being fraudulcntly used again by the same or
any other person.
DR.. BLY, will notify persons at what time it
will be necessary for them to attend at his Office
in Charleston for tho purpose of fitting the leg
to the stump
| AS two hundred and fifty or more artificial
limbs are to be supplied, considerable time will
necessarily be consumed in their manufacture,
and you arc requested to practice patience in
what may seem to you unreasonable delay
in procuring your limb.
DR.. Bly, advises that unless some pressing
emergency exist the new leg should not be
fitted to the stump during the warm season,
and that the patient himself will be most likely
to obtain satisfactory result by awaiting the
return of cool weather.
| The clerks Of the court will be entitled to
charge their fees for their official certificate,
but it is presumed that they will, under the
circumstances, cheerfully render the service
gratuitously.

We enjoyed the pleasure, on Thursday morn

the sSouthern Series of School Books" wi.:ol.
is now so favorably before the public for exami-
nation and adoption. We were glad to learn
| from Prof. S., that he had succeeded in intro
ducing this admirable series into worry general
use in this and the adjacent States, and was
meeting with universal encouragement in his
efforts for their further extension.
We believe in patronizing SouthcrQ, men
and Southern enterprises Of every description
but no cause more completely enlists our feel
ings than the proper education Of the present
rising generation among lis. It is in early
years that proper ideas and principles are to be
instillcd into tho mind, and proper bent and in
clinatcn given to tho formation of habits for
life. It is at this stage, therefore, that we
must train Southern boys and girls to become
true Southern men and women. We consider
this series ofProf. Stcrling's School Books, as u
fit and influential means of assisting in such n
consummation, and VIC unhesitatingly and cor
daily recommend these works to the teachers
of Orangcburg District.
This series was first issued during the recent
war by Messrs. Sterling & Albright, of Greens
boro, N. c., and has since been enlarged and
improved, and as now arranged embraces:
Stcring's Southern Primer
Sterling's Southern Pictorial Primer.
Stcrling's Southern Elementary Spcer.
Sterling's Southern High School Spcllcr
Sterling's Southern First Reader.
Sterling's Southern Second Reader.
Stcrlng's Southern Third Reader
Stcrling's Southern Fourth Reader

Sterling's Southern Orator.

cable principles to accompany, uSterling g

10 the Citizens of this State Who Have
Lost Their Legs During the Recent
War.

For the purpose of carrying into effect the
provisions of an act entitled "An Act to pro-
vido artificial legs for all citizens of the State
who have Host their legs during the recent
war" approved December Goth, 1885, caused
notice to be published to all manufacturers of
artificial limbs to exhibit their specimens in
the City of Columbia on the fourth Monday in
March, and appointed Board of Surgeons,
composed of Drs A. N. Talley, Robert w.
Gibbes and B. w. Taylor, to examine the va
rinus specimens submitted.
hey unanimously recommended tho "Army
and Navy leg" of DR.. Bly,, and his anatomical
leg" MS combining moro advantages than any
others exhibited; and 1, therefore concluded u
contract with DR.. BLY,, to furnish the citizens
of this State with the "Army and Navy Log"
at the price Of s74.65 each, which amount is
to he paid by tho State
The cost of DR.. Blys anatomical ball and
socket jointcd leg precluded mo from contract
ing for it, because the sum appropriated by tho
Legislature was insufficient to have furnished
that leg to each citizen, nevertheless each per-
son who chooses to do, may, by paying Dr. BLY,
from his OWN means, the additional sum of
875,3s, iecure this more perfect limb, the cost
of which is $15O.
His Office will bo located in Charleston and
but one trip is necessary to be made there for
the purpose of having the limb properly adjust
cd to the stump. Before its delivery each leg
will be inspected by competent person

From tho New Orleans Christian Advocac.1
TO the COlOrcd Members of the McthO-
dist Episcopal Church South in the
Mobile Conference.

The Mobile Conferences at IT'S iarc- session,
requested me. as its presiding officer, to draw
up ana have presented to you u pastoral ad-
dress. 1t gives me pleasure 10 perform this
duty. shall speak to you plainly, in terms
which you will understand, OH subjects which
deeply concern you, and in spirit of kindcst
interest. | represent the feeling of all the
preachers, and with them wish to see you con
tented, industrious, happy; and above all, and
including all, truly religious. Your spiritual
welfare, in particular, is what your old pastors
most earnestly desire to witness and promote
They arc willing still to labor, to the largest
extent, for the good of your souls; and in
doing this, they sure they are doing the
best thing for you that can be done in the cir
cuinst;,nccs in which the providence Of God
has now placed you.
Their pastoral care in former years gathered
you, not out Of the spols of other Churches,
but out of the world that lfcth in wickcdncss
few generations ago your forcfathers were
brought from Africa. They were hcathens
They did not know God they had never heard
of Christ; they worshippcd devils feared
witches; trcmblcd before the Obi man; were
sunk in ignorance, dcbasemcnt and wretchedncss
Christianity, drcctly,,and indirectly, has made
ali the differences between their condition and
yours. You were born in a Christian country
You heard the gospel preached. Churches
were open to you. On the large plantations
Christian masters and mistrcsscs were con-
cerncd for your souls. You heard Of Jesus
the sinners friend. You were instructed III
the way Of salvation; were baptized and gath
cred into the fold Of Christ; learned the way
to heaven; and set your faces toward the hcay-
enly country.
War came and your quictncss and good con-
duct won the respect of the white people and
cndeared you to them. Then came freedom
and with it many inducements to set up for
yourselves in Church matters MS in other
things. Many left their old pastors and their
old folds Some people said ''Join as; and
you shall have fine churches, and many other
fine things" Other people said, mo, Join us;
you shall have preachers Of your own color;
plenty of you want to be preachers, and preach
you shall soon and without trouble--all You in
particular who want to be big men, And many
went. Some did not 60. a few months have
sho n that, as in many other things, so here ::
everything that glittcrs is not exactly gold
Prom IS are easy to make and easy to break
Some of the rainbows have turned to fog. Big
words have ended in small things. And so it
has turned out that the people who know the
difference between husks and genuine bread
became dissatisfied; and hundreds and thou
sands who had gone off, ono way and another,
have come back and put themselves under the
care Of the shepherds, to be instructed in that
form Of sound doctrine which makes wise unto.
