Debility and Emaciation

Both result from the lack Of ability to
convert the food into nutriment. How
necessary, then, for those suffering from
these alarming symptoms to immediate
ly resort to remedy that will strengthen
the stomach and digestive organs. For,
nc soon as this desirable object has been
accomplished the health improves, and
the patient resumes his usual personal
appearance. Hostetter's Stomach B1tters
have attained worldwide popularity IN
such cases, and have been proven the
best and safest means of removing con-
stipation, toning the stomach. giving en-
ergy to the liver, and relieving every
SYMPTOM of nervousness and depression
Of spirits. Its cheering and beneficial
effects are highly spoken of by thousands,
who owe to it their restoration to health.
No restorative in the annals of medicine
has attained the same popularity in the
short space of time it has been before the
public. or has won the high endorse
ments accorded to this excellent tonic.
MANY other preparations, purporting to
he correctiyes and restoratives, have been
introduced, and have perished one by
one. while the popularity Of Hostetter'
Stomach Bitters continues to increase,
and is now recognized as a standard
household medicine. The success which
attends the use of the Bitters evinces at
once its virtues in all cases of debility
and disease of the stomach. Certificates,
almost without number, have been pub
lished, attesting it's truly miraculous
power in removing those painful and
fearful diseases. And at this time it
seems idle to do more than call attention
to the great remedy of the age, in order
to awaken public attention to its excel
lence. It is the only preparation of the
kind that is reliable in all cases, and it is
therefore worthy of the consideration OF
the afflicted.

Negro jKu.Klux.. =.

On Yesterday Tuesday our. streets
were alive with ten ESQ -called) negro ku-
,Klux from Aiken, arrested and brought
here to have a hearing before r. w. Can
non, ESQ.,, o. S. Commissioner, by Depu-
ty u. S. Marshal A. M. Cochran. From
all we can gather it appears that these
negroes, in company with some ten 9TH
ers. armed with guns and pistols, on the
night of the Slst July, went to the house
of Mr.. Isaac Shellhouse, living some ten
miles fromAiken, threatened the family,
tore down the fencing around the house,
alarmed the ladies, and stated that they
had come to arrest one Porter, accused OF
killing negro; that they had reason to
believe Porter was there, and they intend
ed to have him. Porter was not there
however, but man by the name Of Pc
terson was, and without shadow OF au-
thority, they arrested him, carried MN
to Aiken, and lodged him in prison.
Mr.. Cannon.the Commissioner, was bu-
sy on Tuesday hearing the evidence inthe
case, and expected to have another show
ing at the accused to-day "wednesday
but on Tuesday night the negroes took
leave of absence, and have not yet re-
turned. Under the circumstances, what
course of action will be taken, we are
not advised.
Capt. G. W. Croft, of the Aiken bar,
was here on the part of the defence.

Condemnation Should Come after
ruiJt is Established.

We were greatly astounded and much
mortified whilst reading the Christian
Neiqhbor's harsh and unwarranted attack
in its issue of the Oath, against the Land
and immigration Association of BUTLER,
CHADWICK, GARY e. Co., and its misera-
BILE and slanderous illusions to those
gentlemen. Astounded, because we had
ever regarded the able Editor of the
Christian Neigh6or as high-toned, in
tellectual Christian gentleman, and a
pious good man who would not wanton-
ly asperse the character or impugn the
motives of any one claiming to be gen.
tleman, without being well assured that
his grounds for condemnation were as
clear as the noon day sun. And mortl-
fled to think that so prominent Carroll
nian should be the first, lin his imagina-
nv license of the press or his position in
the ministry-to exhibit willingness, II
not desire. to detract from the fair fame
of our own honored BUTLER and GARY
a hard-earned fame they had nobly won
in Legislative halls, and later by gallant
ly bareing their breasts to the leaden
storm-up as it were to the very jaws of
the cannon's mouth-and bravely lead
ing where none but the brave dared to
follow-and all too for the honor and
glory of South Carolina,-that Carolina
which the Christian Neighbor would lead
as to infer BUTLER and GARY" South
ern gamblers Ito use its own words)
"burning with ambition and avarice,"
would, for their own selfish motives,
sink into "disgrace and iniquity."
Shame! Shame! Shame!
No, no! If South Carolina is never
sunk into "disgrace and iniquity" until
done through the instrumentality of
Generals NJ. c. BUTLER and M. w. GARY,
her honor will ever be pure and unsul-
lied, the pious slime and would-be holy
defamation of the Caristia,a Neigh5or to
the contrary notwithstanding.
And the scheme of the South Carolina
Land and immigration Association, If a
success, ,cill prove Of material advan-
tage to the immigration interests of
South Carolina, because Gen. BUTLER
has said-and CALBRAITH BUTLER never
proves false to his word, recreant to his
country, or forgetful of his honor,-that
"after the expenses are deducted, we are
pledged to give $4,000 to the State Agri-
cultural and Mechanical Society, under
whose auspices we are proceeding, and
erery cent of the balance to the intro
duction of immigrants"
Therefore, we bid God-speed to the
Land and immigration Association, and
trust the noble end aimd at by BUTLER,
CHADWICK, GARY & Co., may be fully
realized.

The Augusta and Laurens Railroad

The Augusta and Laurens Railroad.
This new Railroad enterprise is still
creating quite furor, and from every
one we have words of encouragement
sufficient to assure us that the undertak-
ing can and will be carried forward and
on to a final success.
In the Laurensville Herald, of last
week, we find the following can for
Railroad meeting at Laurens:
PUBLIC MEET1Ne.-The citizens Of this
County are invited to meet at the Court
House on next Sale Day, for the purpose
OF taking into consideration the ways
and means of building Railroad from
this place to Augusta, Ga. The people
of Augusta and Edgefield are ready, to
unite with US in this enterprise, and II
we are only true to ourselves we are now
sure of a way that will lead us out OF the
woods, and link us with the busy mar
kets of. the world. The necessities OF our
people are so great, and the advantages
of this route.so obvious, that we deem II
unnecessary to enlarge. We have yet 10
hear single dissenting voice. The prop
osition sweeps everything before 1t, us
does fire upon prairie. We ehope, then,
that every man who can conveniently
leave home, will attend on the day ap-
pointed. Every man in the County is
interested in the proposed Road, and we
hope that every one will exercise his
right. and make his views and opinions
known. Come one, come all, and with
united effort at the wheel, let us roll the
car of progress onward.
And Iaurensville correspondent OF
the Charleston NeaUs, says:
AS to railroad news in this part OF the
State, we have some little stir, which ap
pears to be steadily increasing about the
contemplated road from Augusta through
TO Edgefield and Ninety six to this place
If Augusta and Edgefeld will come to
us with liberal help. they will, think
meet with n suitable response. we o.
course do not expect to geta charter from
our mongrel, manipulated Legislature
but then we know how to build q railroad
anywhere without a charter. We ask nc
favors on that score.
And a Laurens man, away up al
Caesars Head, writes to the Heralo
thusly;
hear UP here the good, glorious news
that we are to have Q railroad, nght on
from Laurens to Edgetleld. Hurran 1oi
that Catch my hat! Its up! Up for
railroad anywhere. ] pressed on few
Greenville people the feasibility OF three
feet gauge from Greenville to Laurens
Lets have both. There is good tune
coming for us yet, perhaps. Urge the
railroad in every and any direction.
Augusta sends the cheering tidings
that sheis with US, and will give lib
orally of her means.
In Edgefeld rousins Railroad meet
ing will be held at the proper time, and
our subscriptions will establish beyond
cayil that VIC realize the Importance Of
the road to our inland town, and arc
"going r"-it in earnest.

The general judicial situation
is we'll summed up in an arti-
Gle from the Portsmouth
Times which We reproduce
elsewhere. We will only add
that it has been rule so firm
" established heretofore, and
SO fair, reasonable and necessa.
~, that the Judge Who holds
court in the river counties
should be a resident Of one Of
the river counties, and the
Judge who holds court in the
upper counties should be a
resident OF one of the upper
counties, that last year, when
it was proposed to run Judge
johnson as an Independent
candidate, the people of the
river counties announced him
without even consulting either
the Bar or the political CON-
mittees of either party in the
upper courties. 1t is true that
we favored the movement, and
We only mention the matter
now to show the status in
which the Judgeship has stood
heretofore. We would as soon
think of sending one Of our
lawyers down to Lawrence or
Scioto as their Prosecuting
Attorney as to send one OF
them to those counties as their
regular presiding Judge. 1t is
in this light-aside from the
manner III which the nomlna-
ton was obtained that We
Iook upon Mr.. Harper's candi-
dacy for presiding Judge in
the upper counties, and to use
the expression Of a friend in
another couuty-it is the wors'
attempt at political carpet
hagging on record, and they
were bold, unreasonable mer
who attempted to fcist it upor
the people.

sewing machine Office and take

it ia a greater curiosity to see
what can be done on it than We
had supposed.
We are informed that the
Wheeler & Wilson company

the best mechanics in the Uni
ted States constantly employed
experimenting, with a view to
some new improvement in
their machine, and while such
an experiment cost them heavi
ly, yet it has paid the abundant.
ly. And by this experiment
the Company has been able to
bring their machine to such
perfection that, so far as we are
competent of Judging, no other
machine can compare with it.
We hear it said that agents
for other machines are con-
stantly applying for agency Of
the Wheeler & Wilson, and We
are rot surprised at il; in fact we
should think it very discourag.

chimes to attempt to sell after

We have but one word more
to add, which is this. that while
We can safely recommend this
machine, we can also recon-
mend the agency established
IN this city, which has not
changed hands for six years.
Most other sewing machine

For the information of the
Portsmouth Republican We
will say that the Republicans
Of Vinton have enough to do TO
fight their own battles without
sticking their noses into the
local affairs of neighboring
counties. 1t was a matter well
known to the Republicans OF
this district before our conven.
tion that the leading Demo-
Gratis of the district, and espec
tally the members of the Bar,
were in favor of supporting
Judge Plyley for reelection
without regard to party. They
have simply carried out their
original intention. and without
any bargaih and sale on the
part of Judge Plyley or his
friends.
We may here remark that
it sounds little strange to
hear fears expressed that Judge
Plyiey's name will add strength
to the Independent ticket in
Jackson county, coming from
source that furnished as an ex
cuse 10 compass his defeat, the
statement (orginal with the
Jackson county delegation J
that Judge Plyley was person
ally 80 unpopular that he could
not carry the republican
strength of Jackson county by
500 votes, if nominated.
