Be Guided by what you Know.

There is an old proverb which says, "Expe-
rience is the safest guide" To this guide the
sick and ailing naturally turn when casting
about for the means of relief. They enquire
what medicine has done for others, before they
adopt it themselves. Of all the remedies and
preyentives in use, Hostetters Stomach Bitters
meets the test most triumphantly, and hence its
immense popularity and vast sales. The suf-
ferer from indigestion is sure to find some one
among his friends who has been cured OF this
ailment by the famous vegetable stomachic.
The victim of fever and ague, liver complaint,
constipation, nervous prostration, or general
debility, has only to make inquiry in the neigh
borhood where he resides in order to discover
cases similar to his own. In the published tes-
timony to its merits he win find volume OF
proofs of its sanitary properties, which it is i'm
POSSIBLE for his common sense to resist. He
tries it, and the effect it produces on his system
adds another to the host of witnesses in its favor
Thus, its reputation, founded on facts, not as
sertions, continually grows and spreads. Char,
latans and imposters, some OF them mere local
tricksters, and others who take somewhat
wider range, attempt to thrust into the hands
and down the throats of invalids, their hap
hazard concoctions, as substitutes for the tonic
which for so many years has been medicinal
staple throughout the United States, Spanish
America Canada, and the West Indies, but
only succeed to limited extent. In this reas-
oning age, the people, having ascertained what
is really deserving of their confidence, decline
"rnnning after strange gods"

marked to his wife that he felt little unwell.
1--WE or three hours Later, Mrs. Pickens awoke,
rand,failing to receive any response to her en-
duffr duffries, she soon ascertaiaed that life was ex-
n,dpct. It is supposed that he died from heart
. disease, and that he never experienced any Sc
:, we're pain, but succumbed to the grim monster
as if dropping into gentle slumber. MIR. Pickens
had been member of the Methodist Church

Annual, Meeting of the Farmers Associ-
g - atinrl.

6 Tie annual meeting of the Anderson Far
mers' Association has been called for next Sat
urday, 18th of November, and every member
of the Association and all persons favorable to
the enterprise. ought 10 be in attendance The
Association has been in existence nearly four
wears, and its annual fairs have been constantly
increasing in interest and Importance. By
careful and prudent management, the Associa-
ton has been kept in sound financial condition,
and through the exertions and liberality of
those connected with recent; Efforts TO- raise
money for the erection of bqildings, it is con-
fdently beieyed that 3 handsome SUI sum will be
at the disposal of the Association when it meets
next Saturday. Last winter it was determined
that a Joint stock company should be organized,
and committees were appointed in the various
townships TO solicit subscriptions OF stock
The me.abefs Of shese committees are expected
to repert to the annual meeting, and We hope
that a favorable response will be made. But
we would urge every one to attend the annual
meeting, and be prepared to take stock In the
Association, so that the future success and per-
manency of the enterprise might be fully as
sauired. Besides the privileges obtained BY be-
coming stockholder, we have no doubt as to
the profitable, nature of the investment, as there
is every reason to expect handsome dividends.
The Association must be placedona permanent
and enduring basis, and we are fully satisfied
that the joint stock principle is the only true
method of obtaining this permanently, as it
will at once secure fair grounds and suitable
buildings. =,

stock to obtain contro! of the Greenville and

us in such shape that we Think it may be 'fe-

Life Insurance and Annuity Com.

pany. '' fe"
Among the few Life Insurance Companies
which promise to show an increase in the
amount of new business transacted during the
present year, is the Security Life Insurance
and Annuity Company of New York. Its busi-
ness shows large and healthy increase over
that for the corresponding period Of last year,
and will doubtless continue on in as favorable
q ratio until the close Of the year. The man.
agement of this Company has been from the
first very able and conservative 1t has lent
itself to none Of the cheap and tawdry devices
for getting present business at the expense Of
future insolvency. We believe that the Com
pany has pursued from the outset very just
and fair policy in its dealings with its Policy
Holders, and to this it is doubtless largely in
debted for the popularity which 1t enjoys.-Ez-

The Collection of Taxes.

Next Monday is the day fixed to begin the
collection of State and County taxes, and an
official notice from the State Auditor appears
in this issue, deciaring among other things that
the penalties prescribed by Law will be strictly
enforced on and after the 18th Of January next
upon all delinquents, The State Auditor as
serts, upon the authority of Gov. Scott, that
the last named official only agreed to suspend
the penalties for non payment in those counties
where sea island cotton iI grown, while the en-
tire State has been under the impression that
no penalty would attach until the lst of March.
This impression was created by the proceedings
of the Taxpayers Convention, and on reference
to that document, we find 4 distinctly an
nounced,i in report made by Gen. ID. G. But
ler, that his Excellency requested them to re-
port to the Convention that he would authorize
the Comptroller to suspend the collection of
taxes in all cases -wherethe payment thereof
was inconvenient to the Taxpayers. That this
lastponement shaH extend to the fret Of March,
is72, and tsat TIE penalty 70, pey1seDt ssouN
not 6e. enforced in Ms Neaatue,"" -sa-t;. = +
Now, this report of Gen. Butler wss suhmit-
ted 10 the Taxpayers Convention on the 18th
day of May last, just six months ago, and not
one word hiss ever been intimated that the e1-
act meaning of the Governor was not clearly
understood and reported by Gen. Buffers Com
mittee. The lapse of time and acquiescence
of Gov. Scott in the declarations made in this
report attest the truth of every word it contains
in reference to his pledges on the subject of
collecting taxes, at least. But circumstances
have changed, and now that it Is necessary to
supply depleted Treasury, in order to save
Gov. Scott and his associates from bankruptcy
and ruin, the State Auditor is made 10 deny
that any such general promise" was ever made
by his ExcellencyI We knew that Gov. Scott
had been frequently charged by his political
friends with an easy disregard Of truth and his
own promises, but we must confess that this
official acknowledgment of utter and reckless
falsehood takes us by surprise. No sane man
will doubt for a moment, after an examination
of the facts, that Gov. Scott pledged himself to
Gen. NJ. G. Butler and other gentlemen Of, the
Taxpayers Convention, that he would suspend
the penalty for non payment Of taxes until the
1st day of March. The State Auditor declares,
in behalf of his Excellency and in the face of
the record, that such promise was never made,
and that the penalty will be enforced on and
after the 18th of January. Such shameless
duplicity is in keeping with the character as
cribed to his Excellency by his brother carpet
baggers, and hereafter the people of South
Carolina will know what is meant by "Gov.
Scott's word and honor"
