Byspeeial requestwe publish and call
the attention of the medical fraternity
to the following:
The following card, addressed to the
medical possession, Is published In
the Atlanta papers by DR.. j. j. Knott,
who, in answer to numerous inquiries,
a synOptical statement of his treatment
of this terrible disease, thereby ena-
bling the profession to employ his
treatment during the present epidemic
in this and adjoining States. DIR.
Knott states that this treatment should
not be employed by any one but a skill
ful physician, as to such this commu-

family physicians.
TO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.
The following treatment which has
been employed by me since the winter
Of 1928, with uniform success in
cases where the treatment has been
instituted within twenty-four hours
after the development of the prOmi-
nent symptoms In the first place dis
card all ideas of this being an infiam-
atory affection of the brain and spinal
chord saturate a flannel folded sew
eral times with spirits of turpentine.
Apply this along the whole course of
the spinepass, over this after the or
binary mode of ironing e common
smoothing iron, well heated. Contin-
ue this for ten or fifteen minutes until
you have well stimulated the spine.
In the mean time give quinlne IN he
roic doses, to be repeated every two or
three hours until all symptoms are
overcome. Follow each dose OF bro
mide of potassium comblnedin solution
with an ordinary dose of solid extract
Hvoscyamus. The use of the brom-
ide is to control refexation and the
doses should be regulated according
to the head and spinal symtoms as
this is dependent on the electra-monlc
changes in the periphery of the nerves;
from this the action or modus oper-
andi of the quinine or bromide will be
readily understood by the intelligent
physician. Under no circumstances
a fiv blister OF opiates in the outset of
this disease; avoid all cold applica-
tons to head and spine.
When constipation exists, which is
generally the case, use large doses of
calomel every three hours, until the
bowels act freely. Physicians can rely
on this treatment when instituted in
time.

THE Knoxville Chronicle, one of the
ablest Republican papers in the South,
says in its last issue, that it hopes to
see Landon G. Haynes and Ex-Pres-
dent johnson offering for Gubernato-
rial honors in the next race He says
he wants to see the fur fly" This is
too thin. The fur did fly in the last
canvass, by just such a contest, and
Horace Maynard slipped in. We want
no more of the fur flying business ia
ours, except to see the fur lifted from
the Radical cat. If our contemporary
is laying this fattering JUNCTION to his
soul he had, as we'll dry up, for we are
just going one at time in the future.

THE Rev. Mr.. Ancient has a rival
in pastoral devotion in Tennessee
a clergyman who, in the first place,
refuses to receive any pay from his
congregation To support himself he
teaches school and cultivates his own
farm. When his church needs help
he starts upon leeturing tour, and
thus raises the needed money. This
is highly honorable to the clergyman,
but how about the congregation P
May there not be such thing as sell
fshly leaving a pastor to bear more

The Approaching State Fair.

1t is confidently expected that the
annual gathering on this occasion
the 10th, 1lth, 18th: 18th and l4th
of November-will be in keeping with
the arrangements made and the in
ducements offered. We learn that
the officers of the Agricultural and
Mechanical Society are making a
grand effort to have the Fair the most
complete which the planters and the
people of the State have ever seen.
To this end. too, the citizens Of Column
bia are lending their aid, and propose
throwing open their houses to visitors.
The Hotel accommodations have been
considerably enlarged besides, so that
there will be no difficulty in this
respect. The Railroads, LOO, are ex-
pected to show a large liberality.-
The Premium list is much enlarged
over previous years, besides the Aux
iliary Joint Stock Co., will give away
about $4,000 in speed and horse pre-
miums, to be competed for in sepa-
rate enclosure. A gala week is looked
for, when the planter and farmer can
see the products and note all the i'm
provements In cultivation, implements,
&C., and the stock fancier feast his
eyes on the best blood of the State.
We predict general reunion of the
best people of the whole State during
that week. Let none forget the Fair.

The Chester Reporter says-Mr.
A. H. Davega, President Of the
Chester and Lenoir Railroad, re-
turned home on SUNDAY morning
last from trip Of several weeks dura-
tion in North Carolina He visited
Dallas, Lincoln, Newton and Hickory,
saw and convcrsed with mcn from all
the counties along the lice of the
road, and is enthusiastic over the
prospects Of the sure completion Of his
road. The private subscription is IN
creasing rapidly in fact much more
is being subscribed than the most az
dent friends of the measure dared to
hope for. Col. Gardner has complct-
ed the final survey to Dallas, and in
forms Mr.. Davesa that he has never
in all his experience run line so
adapted from Yorkvillc to Dallas.
There is no cmbankment or excavation
on the whole line exceeding eleven
feet in height or depth, and for six
miles on one stretch it is SO level that
absolutely no grading whatever will be
required. The estimate is that the
subscriptions to the capital stock already
made are enough to grade the road
from Yorkvillc to Lenoir. If this. is
SO, there is no doubt Of the final con-
summation of this great and important
work.

Black Friday.

The financial affairs of the United
States have marked in the Calendar d
notorious date: Black Friday. The
10Th of September: 1873, approaches
very closely to that well marked and
well remembered period. Wall Street
has aeain been turned topsy turvy, and
the banking interests and stocks OF
every description have been generally
unsettled. Many of the most promi-
nent houses in New York, Philadel-
phia, and other Northern cities, have
either suspended or utterly failed
The kilograms are too meagre for US to
form conjecture as to the cause OF
these failures, but we know enough to
feel satisfied that unless the Govern
ment of the United States becomes q
purchaser to the tune Of about ten
millions Of dollars worth of stocks, the
money market of the country must
reach depression that will amount
almost to a panic. We of course are
50 far off,that very few will be affected
directly by an unfavorable financial
condition in the North, still indirectly
we must, to some extent at least, suf-
fer. If the price of money advances
in New York City, We will have to pay
proportionally higher price for it
here in Newberry, Speculation with
it's common attendant corruption has,
in nine out of ten cases, been the en-.
tering wedge to the tremendous 6nan-
.cial crashes which have visited this
country. The multiplicity Of Rail
Roads and telegraphs in these days,
greatly enhances the facilities forspec-
uhtion. Colossal fortunes are made
in few days, and the happiness, the
bread of thousands becomes dependent
upon their security-then not unfre-
quently they as suddenly collapse, and
untold misery follows. 1t seems to be
the rule that, as society advances in
the scale of civilization, the money
power must be centred in and con-
trolled by the few, while the vast ma
jority are left in poverty and misery.
If this is the case, the question, how
to obtain the greatest happiness for
the majority becomes the most difficult
problem in the science Of sociology.
In the present case We look for a
rebound before many days.

PROSPERITY, Sept. 10, 1873.

PROSPERITY, Sept 10, 1873.
DEAR HERALD:-I expect you are begin
ming to wonder what has become Of your
correspondent We'll, he will offer no apollo
gy. but say his duties have kept h im so busy
for the last few weeks that he has had little
time to write.
Prosperity is going on very quietly The
new stores arc one by one being opened, and
filed with goods. The places temporarily
occupied look deserted. By the middle of
October, i: not before, all the new houses
will be occupied. New cotton is coming in
every day; and the platform at the depot, so
long almost deserted, is being rapidly filled
up. We saw yesterday new druy. On in
quiry VIC found out that it belonged to Mr..
J. E. kibler. 1t supplies want long felt in
our town. Ono more shop is needed here
We refer to good shoe shop. 4 good shoe
maker could find enough to do here to keep
him employed We hope some one will take
the hint and come on. We have some $50
called" but we want one who understands
bis business, and can make SHOES. A
branch Of some book store We think could do
well here. It's need is felt by many Of our
citizens. With these two wants supplied we
would be completely fixed. A suggestion to
the citizens oil our town: can we not get up
q reading 70 ON, and have it supplied with
good reading matter for the improvement of
our people? We ought to try to make men
tai and moral progress while VIC are pro-
crossing in other matters. We hope some
steps may be taken to set on foot such an
enterprise.
In the country around about town the cot
ton is opening rapidly. The constan: rain
of the last two days will do it much injury.
The health Of our community is not as good
as it has been. There is a good deal of fever.
some cases right severe. Mr.. VIM. Werts
lost child las, Friday. This is the only death
we have heard of. We are just from the
Stone Hill country where VIC have had very
interesting meeting. We do not know where
we have'seen so much interest manifested in
Il meeting. Congregations were large from
tirss to last. We 60 down toward Lexington,
and five see anything Of interest in that
portion of our County we will let you know
Of it.
Since writing the above, Mr.. J. NJ. Wheeler
received severe wound in the left hand by
having it caught in his gin. The cuts arc
severe, but the limb can be saved.
When we arrived at Colony Lutheran
Church on Sunday evening, we found that
it had been opened and the closet broken in
to. Nothing was disturbed, however. We
think they were in search Of wine. Some
time ago, some one broke in and took what
was left from commuuion; and as We had
just passed communion season, l suppose
they thought there would be more left. But
the elders have learned to keep it more Sc
curcly. 1t is sin enough to indulge in wine
too freely, at any time, but to steal the com
munion wine from church-can it be for
given? PHI.
