larity of this valuable Hair Prep
aration, which is due to merit
alone. We can assure our old
patrons that it is kept fully up to
its high standard; and it is the on
ly reliable and perfected prepare
ton for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making
it soft, lustrous, and silken. The
scalp, by its use, becomes white and
clean. 1t removes all eruptions and
dandruf, and, by its tonic proper
ties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands.. BY its use, the

The desperate condition OF the South, her suf.
ferings under the present administration, her
despair of any hope or aid save through the
present coalilion-this was the theme elabo-
rated by Mr.. O'Connor. His speech was a spicy
preparation tor the vote on the platform
The Tribune says:
Mr.. OConnor, having Strengthened out every
point on which opposition had arisen, closed
with most pathetic appeal to the convention
not to stop at mere words, but to lay aside
unimportant differences of opinion and come
to the rescue Of the down-trodden and afflicted
South. Strong and earnest as Senator Bayard
was, had there been any considerable division
In the convention, 1t would have disappeared
after this remarkably eloquent and effective
reply.
The Herald says:
A South Carolina Irlshmau, blythe name of
O'Connor, was at once recognized by Doolittle,
and he came forward and took the stand for
about twenty minutes, and made speech
such az few members of the Cincinnati Con-
yention would have had the pluck to do. He
said, relative to the blacks In the State from
which he came, that nobody was anxious to
take their hard-earned and hard-won ballot
from them, and, at these sentences, to the sur
Prise of the whole convention, the galleries
rose up and gave one Of the loudest yells yet
raised in the Presidential nomination. OCon-
nor Is stout, prompt and aorid debater, full OF
action, and he made one Of the great successes
of the day.
And the Times Grants OWN makes this
spiteful fling:
O'Connor, of South Carolina, made stirring
appeal for the surrender, In which be managed
10 show that the Democracy had been totally
wrong on every political Issue for the last
twenty wears.

usual average.
The Chesterfield Democrat says: "Our
farmers have had abundant rains during the
past week, and we learn that prospects for q
large corn crop are better than they have
been for several years. The weather has been
warm and sultry: very favorable for the
growth Of cotton"
The Georgetown Times says: "Slnce our
last, we have had an abundance Of rain, glad.
denlng the hearts Of those planters who had
salt water at their doors. 1t came Just IN lime
to save the planters on the lower parts OF our
rivers. The upland crops are looking up, and
1t may be that the crops Of the district may
not be 30 very short as was anticipated week
ago." .
past week, In every portion OF the county
abundant rains have fallen, and the crops are
doing we'll 80 far as rains are concerned; the
only thing to bs apprephededuow is lack OF
labor to keep the grass down. The crops, we
learn, promise well, though are somewhat
backward, caused by long droughts. Cotton,
where q good stand was obtained, Ia doing
we'll. and with seasonable rains will make a
fair CROP"
The Union Times says: "For two weeks

section In some places much damage mas
been done to crops, while mill dams and
fences have been washed away. The grass IN
many places has taken possession of the land

not come up until the rains set In, conse'
