Many who are suffering from the
ELECTS of the warm weather and ara
debilitated, are advised by physicians
to take moderate amounts of whiskey
two or three times during the day. In
little while, those who adopt this
advice frequently increase the number
OF drinks" and in time become con-
firmed inebriates. A beverage which
will not create thirst for intoxicating
liquors, and which is Intended espe-
cially for the benefit of debilitated
persons, whether at home or abroad, ia
Or. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic. Con-
tanning the juices cf many medicinal
herbs, this preparation does not create
an appetite for the Intoxicating cup.
The nourishing and the life.supporting
properties of many valuable natural
productions contained in it and we'll
known to medical men have most
strengthening influence. A single
bottle of the Tonic will demonstrate its
valuable qualities. For debility aris.
ing from sickness, over-exertion or
from any cause whatever, wine.
glassful of Sea Weed Tonic, taken
after meals, will strengthen the sto-
mach and create an appetite for whole
some food. TO all who are about
leaving their homes. we desire to say
that the excellent effects of Dr..
Schenck's seasonable remedies, Sea
Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. are
particularly evident when taken by
those who are iniuriously affected by
change of water and diet. No person
should leave home without taking a

Inviting SICKNESS "A belief that
violent purgation is the surest remedy
for every human ailment prevails to a
lamentable extent among some GLASSES
of the community. It might be
thought that the lsnguid, the debili.
tated. the depressed. would know, in
stinotively, that their systems need
toning, invigorating and regulating
with some wholesome stimulant and
Alternative, and that fierce cathartio is
as unsuited to their condition as
strong dose Of active poison would be
to man already laboring under the
effect, of some deleterious drug. In
oil cases of physical weakness. Hostet.
ter's Stomach Bitters should be
promptly resorted to by the invalid.
The operation of this inestimable vege.
table restorative is three-fold. It vi
talizes and reinforces the depressed
nervous system, while at the same
time it regulates the digestive and &C.
cretive organs and keeps the bowels
free. Debility is often the forerunner
OF an attack Q! some acute disease,
and to PROSTATE the strength still more
by securing the bowels with q drastic
evacuant, at suoh juncture, is to in
vite the immediate onset of the i'm.
pending disorder. and render tho sys.
tenn incapable Of contendipg with it.
On the other hand, course OF the
Bitters, commenced as soon as the
symptoms OF general debility manifest
themselves, will in nine cases out of
ten prevent the Threatened attack and
thoroughly restore the bodily strength
of the patient. The cases of dyspep-
sia. liver complaint, constipation,
dysentery. diarrh9a, rheumatism and
periodical fevers would be compare
lively few if this unequalled invigora.
ting and regulating medicine were
always resorted to as cure for the
bodily weakness and loss of vital en-.
ergy which usually precede these COM

rule, the precursors Of nearly ali acute
and dangerous disorders. A16+3G1

placed in different portions Of the city.
Later in the dny, q preamble and

rally shrink from their touch. They
do not see any break in the ring, they
are unable to discern any clear hands

whom they can trust. They are freely

ing in political matters and in elec-
tions. This disposition to correct n
wrong. to be set in the right path, to
get out OF the den of thieves. und to
be ranged in political action with
honest men, ought to be warmly met
and strongly encouraged. Our friends
may depend upon it that the colored
people will hear them with patience,
and will weigh their suggestions.
Their minds are more open and less
prepossessed than they have been.
They begin to see to what shameful
uses they have been put. They feel
the degraded condition Of things
which keeps them down as we'll us

Sow the seeds of good doctrine in their
awakened minds. They have heard
that President Grant condemns the
Radical ruin which has been wrought
here. Guard them against the decep-
tion that this condemnation is only

Tell them that when General Grant
said he preferred that the State should
fall into the hands of Democrats rather
than to continue under the control of

said they must unload, he meant that
they must unload the whole party OF
organized brigands. They are dis
posed to hear wholesome truth, and
our people should not be remiss or
backward in imparting it. They are
quite ready in many quarters to throw
these fellows overheard. They need
some good men, firm and intelligent
men, to take them by the hands and
lead them out into light and ont OF

shali stok-s Ever be Released from
II S 8 Prison.
Il Edward F. Stokes still languishes in
| tho I Greehville Jail. The ladies of
lGreehville, to the number OF 200.
headed by the humane. disinterested
and greatly. beloved matron, Mre. B.
F. Cleveland. lately sent petition to
Judge Cooke. asking that be be re-
leased. 1t is an earnest appeal. It
states that Stokes has been imprisoned
ten months. suffering all the time in
mind and body; TINT he is growing
weaker and weaker, and must soon be
laid low in death. Judge Cooke re-
plies in kind terms. He assures the
lady petitioners that he feels and
NOUNS, ii common with them, TIC
sad and unfortunate confinement of
Stokes, bnt adds that he canuot open
his prison door without doing Injustice
to the rights of parties. which he is
bound to protect. nor proper regard to
the responsibilities of Circuit Judge.
Without meaning to reflect upon
Judge Cooke, we fear that in this mat.
ter it is the letter which kills. We
want the spirit which will make alive.
There never has seemed to us any
impediment to the release of Stokes
which could not be overcome. It
seemed, rather. when we examined the
case some time ago, that the grounds
for appeal to the Supreme Court we're
good and solid. The argument was
made on the 18th of May, but no
decision has been announced. Now,
are we mistaken or NOT in this? If the
case is before the Supreme Court, it is
one which ought to have been deter
mined within q week, and there can be
no excuse for any delay. IF it is not,
then the responsibility for this shame
fnf incarceration rests either upon
Stokes himself or upon Judge Cooke.
When we consider all the surroundings
OF this case-t the pleadings and grounds
taken before the Supreme Court, the
condition of the prisoner and those
peculiarities of mental constitution
which are as fixed facts AZ they ure
touching appeals to enlightened hu-
manity and strong arguments for the
relaxation of rigid rules of law-wa
confess that we are not inclined to
place it upon Mr. Stokes bimself. It
is sad to think that he may be the VIC
tim OF the laws delay, the tortuosity
OF courts and of his own delusions at
the same time. For this long.c con.
t'nued imprisonment, Judge Cooke
must take his due share. and the
greater part, of the blame. 1t looks
ugly, even now. Before long, it may
become an infamy and shame. Is it
possible that Judge Cooke can be q
man and Judge, and not be able TO
solve such a dilemma as this? Judge
Cooke pleads legal and technical re-
sponsibiIity for not acting; but he is
under moral responsibility to act, in
such peculiar and distressing case,
which is higher and more binding.

REPORTED TROUBLES AT RIDGE
SrRING. Several reports were in cir
oulation, yesterday, relative to trou.
bles between the white and colored
people at Ridge Spring, on the line of
the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad. It seems that several CO.
lored companies were drilling and
drum-beating until very late hour
Monday night. while the stragglers
made threats as to what they would do
if the whites interfered, or wanted
anything out OF them" The whites
becoming incensed and at the Same
time fearful that trouble might ensue,
sent runners around the neighborhood
and collected number of armed citi-
zens, who. yesterday morning, were
prepared to quell any disturbance.
There was, however, fortunately no COL
lision, and when the evening train for
Columbia passed, none Of the colored
troops were Misunderstanding quietly
dispersed, leaving the whites in peace
