sam. 1t cures without fail when properly
used, and we hold ourselves reasy to oaccept
any challenge as to the qualities of good ar.

what we represent it to be. In chronic and
recent coughs, Sore Throat, Group, Hoarse-
ness, Blood Splitting, Whooping Cough,
bronchitis, Sore Breasts, Weak Lungs, &C.,
and In all diseases of the lungs tending
toward or terminating in Consumption,
this remedy cannot be equalled much less
excelled. 1t will positively prevent the
lungs from yielding to the terrible effects of
Consumption. Let us say to the afflicted
and persons predisposed to Consumption,
give our remedy a fair trial, be patient and
persevering, using strictly according to d.
rections and do not yield to the solicitation
of pretended medicines and inexperienced
advice and you will soon find yourself rap
Idly recovering. We have large nnmbcr,

have cured, (many of them very bad cases, J

OAKEY HALL, Tammany Mayor Of
New York, at the time the great ring
was in its palmy days and Tweed sat up-
disturbed upon his throne, has been
delighting the curious of New York BY
taking the leading character in play Of
his own creation, entitled "Tho Crucible."
As . lawyer, a. p ,litician and an orator,
Mr.. Hall was able, and we might say bril-
liant, but as an actor he is only what
his ability in a higher profession made
him to the eyes If the people. This was
demonstrated to the pseudo actor: before
he had pranced the stage in buskin three
weeks, it was too evident that the audience
were applauding Oakley Hall, and not th'
character he assumed. So on last Satur
day night he bowed himself of the stag'
to take to the law again, and in the word
of Macbeth will die with the harness OF
his back. .......

We say and without any display Of
egotism that the issue of THE HERALD

neat, attractive and readable than any pa
per that has ever before been gotten out in
this city. 1t contained thirteen columns
of reading matter, all of which were upon
live local topics and editorials upon cur
rent events, with the usual display Of tele-
graph and miscellany. As an evidence
that The HERALD in its enterprise is ap-
preciated every copy Of the large edition
issued was sold before noon and there were
many calls for it during the afternoon and
evening. The aim Of the paper is to give
the reader the worth OF his money in fresh
instructive reading matter. Thi, we have
done, and not only publish a good news
poper TO Wilmington but one in which thu
people of the whole State may justly TAXI
pride and interest. The city is now being
thoroughly canvassed for subscribers ane
it will not be great while before we shal
float the words Largest circulation" at thu
top of our columns.

Thoroueh Organiza,10D,

The Executive Committee of the Demo
cratic party of South Carolina have Issued
an address calling for thorough re-organi-
cation preparatory to the next campaign.
In it they say: "In common with their tel-
low citizens, the State Democratic Commit
tee have watched with anxious solfcitude
and growing confidence the course of the
present Governor of the State. They re-
cognize and appreciate the value Of what
he has done in promoting reform and re-
trenchment during the past year. They
applaud his wise and patriotic conduct IN
e1erting his whole official power and per-
sonal influence for the undoins of the in
famous Judicial election. And they declare
their belief that the Democracy Of the
State, rising above party as he has done,
will give an unfaltering support to his ef-
forts, as Governor, for the redress of wrongs
for the reduction of taxation, to obtain a
lust administration of the law, and to make
the State Government faithful guardian
of the public and private interests of the
people,"

Of consideration from onr farmers ana
should be urged by business men and Others
ss its merit in showing the amount .
sugar consumed and the saving that could
be secured, is we'll worth the trial. In re-
ferring to the amount of'sugar consumed
in the State, the address states that per
capita it is now 43 pounds. The popula-
ton Of the State is about 10000, and the
total amount Of sugar consumed in 1t ia
$4,000 pounds which valued at 81 cts'
per pound, would sell for $532,OO0. The
city OF Wilmington with = population Of
10000 would pay, at the same rate
100000. This sum, it states, not only
goes out Of the city, but out of the coun-
try, and is constant drain on our re-
sources. This is sufficient to recommend
the subject to public consideration.
