The equal distribution of currency,
in the different sections of the country,
has appeared to US, to be an impraeti-
cable idea, though suggested and advo-
Gated by prominent men. Currency
can not be kept 10 section which is
forced, by its folly, to purchase the
necessaries of life from some other
section. Fill a poor mans pocket
with money, and if ne has no other re-
source. his pocket will soon be empty,
because he must have clothing and
food for which his money must pay
having nothing TO sell. and everything
70 buy, the temporary relief will be
followed by the same abject poverty.
So it must be with entire communities,
which are dependent upon other COM
munities for the necessaries Of life.
To keep up supply of currency. the
income must equal, or exceed. the ex-
pendlture-the opposite of this is the
road to inevitable poverty.
The first step towards an adequate
supply of currency-in the South for
instances to become self-sustaining.
The production of an abundant supply
of the necessaries of life, is independ-
ence, in the highest sense of the term,
and whatever excess is sold, is so much
clear profit and permanent gain. II
the South will make itself independ-
ent, by the means just indicated, it will
have no occasion to ask for more cur
rency. 1t may produce few bales of
cotton less than now. but what it does
raise will be clear profit, and, what is
more important. it can keep that profit
at home. Money obtained by the pro-
posed distribution, would soon find Its
way back to the money centres, in
payment for supplies which the South
persistently refuses to create.

The 4th Congressional District con-
vention, at Hartsville, on the 10th
ballot, nominated Judge Fite ofCarth
age, as the candidate to ELL the vacan-
cy occasioned by the death of Col.
Head The contest was animated, but
20 i'll feeling was engendered, and the
nomination was made unanimous.
The absence of Judge Fife from the
convention is proof of the fairness OF
the proceedings, and leaves little
ground for fear of any serious Radical
opposition.

Time Tests the Merits of All Things.
Thirty years is certainly long enough
time to prove the ef.ic;!ey of any medicine,
and that the Pain Killer is deserving OF all
it's proprietors claim for it, Is amply PROV
ed by the unparalleled popularity it has
attained Ii is a sure and effective rene
dy. j. is sold in almost every country in
the world, and its needs only to be known
to be priced. and its reputation as i. Medi-
cine Of Great Virtue, is fully aIsd perma-
nently established. 1t, is the great family
medicine of the age. Taken Internally it
cures. dyssAtesy,, cholera, diarrh@a, cramp
and pain In the stomach, bowel complaint
Painters collie, liver complaint, dyspepsia,
or indigestion, sudden Gods, sore throat
and coughs. Taken externally, it cures
brusis, boils, felons, cuts. burns, scalds,
old sores and sprains, sweilihgs Of the
joints, toothache, pain IN the face, neural

Pain is supposed to be the lot of us poor
mortAls, as ihesitabIe rs death, and liable
at any time te come upon us. Therefore,
remedial agents should be at hand to
be used on emergency, when we are made
to feel the excrnciating agony of pain, or
the depressing influences of disease. Such
remedial exists in Perry Davis Pain
Killer, the fame of which has extended
over all the earth. Amid the-eternal ices
of the l'orlal. regions, or beneath the intol-
cradle and burning suns Of the trophies lis
virtues are known and appreciated. And
byit suffering humanity has found relief
from many of its ills. FIie effect of the
Pain-kiiler upon the patient, when taken
internally in eases of coughs. colds, bowe.
complaint, cholera, dysentery, and other
affections Of the system, has been truly
wonderful, and has won for it name
among medical preparations that never
can be forgotten. Its success in removing
pain as an external remedy, in eases Of
burns, bruises. sores cuts, stings of insects.
and other causes of suffering has secured
fos'st the NEST promising position among
the medicines of the day. ReAare of coun-

who are irregular, but it, in no SMALL de-
