then, and only then, is her
worth understood. To my
mind there is no being so ut
terly and hopeleSsly useless at
such a time as the husband, the
head mourner of the family, for
for he stands alone, bereft
among his household gods of
her who has unshrinkingly and
uncomplainingly borne for
many years upon her slender
shoulders, a cross, from which
bis stout heart flinches, with all
his Wanted strength but a
woman, if she has not a dollar,
will manage from sheer force
of will, and strong in her moth
ers love to keep her little flock
together, while her husband
will send the little things adrift,
probably giving them to one,
or another, until he is ready to
provide them with a new moth

most despised of our sex, $50

but the Pharisees Of the pres,
ent time help to plunge her il
the slough Of sin, and then pass
by on the other side, remark,
ing to the Sadducee, "Well
what can you expect of a wO
man." ...
In conclusion, l will say, thai
women are all right. and wha'
they want is sympathy and en-
couragement from their hus

What do the Women Want?

read an article a few days since,
written (it is unnecessary to
state) by a male writer, in in
which he says that too much
time is spent upon the eduea-
ton of women, and that it is
unnecessary for them to study
the higher branches to enable
them to fulfill their mission of
becoming good wives and
mothers. He also refers to the
grandmothers of olden times,
who spun wool and fax, and
made butter and cheese for the
family consumption. and con-
sidered it no dishonor to be
thus employed. He also re-
minds us of the same old story,
that women are commanded by
divine law to observe the most
implicit obedience TO their hus-
bands, which means, | suppose,
to bear all his shortcomings

is frequently asked what is Sumter Biters We will
try and answer this to the satisfaction of all
Sumter Biuers is dfusive stimulant, prepared
from the purest Rye Whiskey made expressly for
this purpose for the Proprietors, Caldysia BARK
from which Quinine is obtaincd,) and Roots and
Herbs of Aromatic Tonic properties. The formu-
la of which has been submitted to and approved
by the highest Medical authority in this State.
The propretors received their first idea Of the
value of this combination from the great success
it obtained in the prevention and cure of ChiHs
and Fsuer among the troops during the late war,
who coming from all parts of the Stateto the
Swamps and Coasts of the Low Country, where 1t
was thought almost certain death to sleep one
night and when by giving them Quinine in WIS
ken, fevers were prevented and the health Of our
troops kept up to the highest standard. This
formula has been greatly improved by the addition
of other Valuable Tonic and restorative Herbs and
Roots combined with the best stimulant, pure Rye
Whi,key. Since it has been introduced in the form
of Sumter Biers, its valuable Tonic properties and
delightful taste has commended it to hundreds,
nay thousands of persons who have been tempted
by its usc Reanls of certificates of its efficacy
could be furnished were it necessary, but its in
creasing sales alone is the best evidence OF its
rorth and papularity thousand, of dozens being
sold now whore tens of dozens were previously;

IL "A GOOD SUGGESTION. "A suggestion appears
In the Meridian Republican with reference to
the prevention of election frauds, which is GER
ftainiy worthy of consideration. The PROPOSE
ton Is that the State is to furnish voters with
envelopes. Each voter is to put his vote or
votes for different officers into one envelope,
which he deposits at the polling place; There
-is NO difference in the appearance. Of the en-
.1elopss. Hence the voter gets the full conceal
ment Of the secret ballot not even the inspec-
tor seeing the vote. One ballot box answers
-for all, the tickets to be elected, and time ana
mistakes are saved by not, as now, distributing
Ito different boxes. Double ballots, 1t Is be-
fieved, would be less frequently cast. Inc OBJ
,.iections to the system, if any, are by no means
80 obvious assists advantages.
