Hints to Skaters.

The first and most important matter
is to obtain a pair Of skates. If you
have none of your own, borrow a pair
immediately-never steal.
Never under any circumstances re-
tain your borrowed skates longer than

In going upon the ice always select a
safe and suitable place. Never 60 upon
your head.

Concert.

The concert given last Wednesday
evening in Town Hall, by the Disciple
Sunday School, assisted by the Silver
Cornet Band, was success musically
and financially. OF course no one could
expect young singers, having had but
little or no practice on the stage, to be
perfect. The pieces were well learned,
which is one great thing In singing.
The programme was too long, and as
consequence the effect of some of theii
hest pieces was lost by the confusion OF
persons passing out. The proceeds
clear of all expenses, amounted te
about fifty dollars. The house was well
filled, and as there were no compli-
mentaries issued, the school realized
nice little sum. Our people are getting
interested in these concerts by hom'
talent, and they should be kept up

We this week have the pleasure OF
presenting our readers with the Geolog-

the State Geologists for which we ask a
careful perusal. 1t will be found full
of interest to ali who desire to know
what the wealth of this county is as to
minerals, &c. We have minerals in
abundance and what we need now is
capitalists to make the proper disposi-

"Burial Of Latane."

Mr.. T. B. Raif showed us very
beautiful picture, which he received
as premium for raising club of fif-
teen for "Pomeroy's Democrat" The
picture, "Buriel of Latane,' is indeed
handsome, is very large, and will be a
nice ornament to hang in a room. In
our opinion the picture is almost toe
good and perfect to be associated with a
newspaper of the political complexion
of " Pomeroy Democrat"
Mr.. Raif has had the handsome pic
ture framed at Harpster, Rudy & Cos.
where it may be seen. 1t is a very
beautiful engraving.

Court.

Court still in session. The case of
Mrs. Woods rersus several liquor sellers,
came up for its second trial on Thurs
day last. 1t will be remembered that
the jury last spring rendered verdict
of $500 damages in favor Of the plain
tiff. The defendants asked for a new
trial, which was granted. 1t was thought
that there would not be so much inter-
est taken in the trial this time as was
shown last spring. But as the trial
progressed, the interest began to mani
fest itself, and it was not long until the
court room was packed from day u
day with those eager to hear the testi
mony. John X. Cowen alone carried

A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN. The percep-
tive faculty of women is usually keener
than the same chronological organ
in men. Women known that beauty
rather than genius is worshiped by the
sterner sex. A man may talk of the
latter to his lady-love, but the keenness
of the woman knows that he is think
ing of the former. Women are fond OF
admiration; hence one of their long
ings is to be beautiful. The grand Sc
cret of female beauty is health, the
power to eat, digest and assimilate a
proper quantity of wholesome food.
Take Vinegar Bitters. 1t will cleanse
the stomach, tone the vital organs, give
perfect digestion, purify the blood
clear up the complexion and produce
state of mental and physical electricity
which gives symmetry of form, bright
eyes, white skin, glossy hair and gen.
uine type of female lOveliness, which
no cosmetic can produce.

which is certainly very good inven-

free circulation of air without letting
in any dust whatever. The air can be
made to pass either outward or inward.
Something of the kind is very much
needed.

D. T. CORBIN,
EDWIN F. GARY.
COLUMBIA, 8. c., October 7. 1872.


70 THE EDITOR Or THE PHGNIx: The
day OF election for State officers is fast
drawing nigh, when the people will be
called upon to decide who are to be our
rulers for the next few years. It is i'm
material to me whether Moses is to be
the Governor, or whether Tomlinson is
to occupy the gubernatorial chair; but it
Is OF the utmost interest not only to me.
but to every man in the State, to know
who is to be the Treasurer. Two men
are aspirants for that Office. F. T.. Car
dozo, colored native Of this State. and
the present Secretary of State, is the
candidate Of the regular Republicans.
The candidate of the True Republicans
is the Hon. Edwin F. Gary, the present
State Auditor. Both of these men are
we'll known to the people of this oity,
and also of the State; and as to the
merits Of either to fill the position OF
treasurer, no sane man can differ in opi-
nion from the writer.
The Hon. E. l.. Cardozo is totally un-
fitted for the Office which he seeks to
occupy. His knowledge of finance is
limited to the daily receipts and dis
bursements of his pocket, and I feel safe
in saying that, with all his classical and
mathematical education, he is at this
moment unable to square the circle of
the celebrated South Carolina ring. To
put such men as this into the Office of
the Treasury would be criminal blum
der, and would only lead him, through
his great honesty and incompotency, to
commit graver blunders than those he
has committed whilst Secretary of State.
In the Hon. Edwin F. Gary, we have
q person of a different stamp. With
Mr.. Gary MS Treasurer, we will have a
man OF superior ability. thoroughly
skilled in finance and the laws of trade,
and one who will possess the confidence
OF the great bulk of the people of the
State, and who. as the peoples trusted
servant of their great safe. will be able
to open and close its combinations with
the same keen sense that enabled him to
unlock and block the great combination
Of the Blue Ridge Railroad swindlc.
Such is the man We want; man of pure
character, and who will never attempt to
ask the Secretary of State to carry South
Carolina's great seal to New York, with
which to seal fraudulent bonds. Put the
OLD gray coat in Office; it has been worn
many day, and the people can then
rest secure in the thought that the
wearer will never dishonor the color.

The Amendment.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE PHOENIX: The
attention of the Executive Committee of
the True Republican party has been
called to your article of Sunday last,
with reference to the proposed amend.
ment to the State Constitution, limiting
the power of the Legislature to create a
debt. without first submitting the aues-
tion to vote of the people. Our COM
mittee is unanimously in favor OF the
proposed amendment; and have ordered
only affirmative tickets to be printed for
the use of voters of our party. No ne
gative tickets will be printed or circulated
by us, and every effort will be used on
our part to secure the adoption of the
proposed amendment.
