Beyond a Doubt.

More diseases are the result of the de-
rangement of the Liver than from any other
cause. When thatorgan is diseased, every
part of the system sympathises with it, and
general prostration and decline is the result.

Liver Complaint and all the diseases that

The Late Riot at Meridian.
a dispatch from Jackson, Miss, unde
late Of the 2sth. saws:

n dispatch from Jackson, Miss, under
late Of the 2Sth, says:
"Theodore Sturgis, brother Of the alb
sconding Mayorof Meridian, who published
card in the New York Tribune, purport-
ing 10 be correct account of the Meridian
riot, published a card denying the state
nents of his brother. He says: g am fully
satisfied that facts are misrepresented, and
I'M convinced that the publication was got
ten up for political purposes.
This Stureis is a Northern man, and has
resided South many years. His brother
came South three years ago.
Aaron Moore, whom Sturgis reported
killed, is here unhurt.
The investigation in the case of the riot
srs is concluded. 1t shows that the ne
grocs brought on the troubles by tur-
bulent overbearing conduct toward tile
whites, and numbering Judge White on the
bench. The underwriters of the insurance
company refuse to pay the insurance on
SturSis' property, having proof that he was
the incendiary.
"There is perfect peace and tranquility
throughout the State"

ag,- Friend Hoyr. of the Anderson Ga

lS- Friend HoYT, of the Anderson ca
=ettc, has recently been on visit to Laurens,
and says:
Politically, the people Of Laurens are
enjoying season of comparative rest and
quietude. Aside from the evils under which
every citizen of South Carolina is made to
groan, there is no complaint, and both races
are moving along with apparent harmony
and good feeling. Since the Goth of October
last, when the dastardly conduct of Radical
leaders eliminated in q general melee, there
has been no disturbance of any sort, and
there is better understanding between the
whites anG blacks. The main instrument
Of mischief was the notorious Joe Crews,
who ANONYMOUSLY fed on that occasion,
leaving his dupes to bear the brunt of con-
flict, as every white man predicted. He
has never returned, and probably never
will, and the colored people freely declare
that it would be unhealthy for him to make
the venture
