How a County Commissioner Repairs
Public HIGHWAY.

Public Highway.
Ho orders tbroo overseers to meot
him with all their hands liable to do
road duty, at a place to DO repaired,
namely: A bridge across small
stream on n certain day, at 7 o'clock,
n. M. The morning being worry fine
for sport of somo kind-the Commits
sioner makes an carly start, and takes
with him fHvoriLo old dog, called
"Lee," and before reaching tho public
highway, old Leo strikes lively trail
and goes on and on until it became
worry cold. or perhaps, run tho thing
in the ground. While thero in this
dilemma, he hears another pack COM
ing, full tilt, after q fox. Tho
thing was thcn to consolidate the
forces, with who over it might be,
and on making tho connection, found
it to DO q young man who had two
tavorito dogs, ono named "Mall," the
other "Wcdgo," together with others.
(Thc said young man had also boen
warned to work on said highway. J
BY this time, tho raco got TO bo very
interesting, and somo four or five
miles from said highway to bo rc>
paired. In the mean time, however,
two OF tho ovcrsccrs, with portion
OF their hands reported at tho place
appointed, somo with axes so dull
they could do nothing, and lost some
two hours in grinding, while q fcw
went to work in good earnest, and
two teams woro furnished to do tho
hauling. Directly, tho enquiry was
made, "whero is our Commissioner
and tho other ovcrsccr and his hands,
they wcrc all to mcot hero and they
havo not donc it, and the County
Commissioner has failed to report, 80
L think VIC had better quit" Tho
third ovcrscor took his hands somo
three miles in another direction to
consume timo on their road, and was
giving it real good "scourging", and
was still at work when last heard from,
perhaps, putting in somo II or Is
days. After getting tho most of the
timber to tho place, the few hands
bocamo almost unmnnagabIo by 12
o'clock; SO "quit" WAS tho order, and
on going to dinner, found tho County
Commissioner and tho above named
young man and a largo Old gray fox.
Had the dogs como in hearing, l do
not suppose thoro would havo boon a
stick OF timber cut to repair said high
way.
In conclusion Mr.. Editor, l de-
sire to enquire if wo have no road
law, and if wo havo, can it not be
enforced?
Very respectfully,
PRn-nONn DuDr

VEGETINE
For Bilious, Re1nitent, and In.
temitent Fever.

Or what is more commonly termed Fever and
Ague, with pain in the loins and through the
back, and indescribable chilly sensation down
the spine, an irresistible disposition to yawn,
pain in the eyes, which is increased by mov>
ing them, blue tinge in the skin, and great
listlessness and debility, VEaBrINB is safe
and positive remedy. 1t is compounded ex-
clusively from the juices Of carefully selected
barks and herbs, and so strongly concentrated
that 1T is one of the greatest cleansers of the
blood that is or can be put together. W.
GETINE does not stop with breaking Chlls
and Fever, but it extends its wonderful in
fuence into every part Of the human system,
and entirely eradicates every taint cf disease.
Vegetine does not act as powerful cathartic,
or debilitate the bowels and cause the patient
to dread other serious complaints which must
inevitably follow; but it strikes at the root of
disease by purifying the blood, restores the
liver and kidneys to healthy action, regulates
the bowels, and assists Nature in performing
all the duties that devolve upon her.
Thousands Of invalids are suffering to day
from the effects of powerful purgative nos.
trums, frightful quantities of quinine, and
poison doses of arsenic, neither of which ever
have, or ever could, reach the true cause oi
their complaint.

POLICE TESTIMONY.

BosToN, November 19, 1877
ri. R. STEVENS, Esq.-Dear Sir: During
the past five years have had ample oppor-
tunity to judge Of the merits of VEGETINE.-
My wife has used it for complaints attending
a lady of delicate health, with more benefir
cial results than anything else which she
ever tried. I have given it to my children
nnder almost every circumstance attending
large family, and always with marked bone
fit have taken it myself with such great
benefit that l cannot find words to ex-
press my unqualified appreciation of it's
goodness.
While performing my duties rs Police
Officer in this city, it has been my lot to fall
in with great deal of sickness. l unhesi-
tatingly recommend VEGETINE. and never
knew of n case where it did not prove all that
was claim ed for it. Particularly in cases Of
debiltnted or impoverished state of the blood,
its effects. are really wondcrful and, for all
complaints arising from an impure state of
the blood, it appears TO work like n charm;
and do not believe there ore any circum-
stances under which Vegeine can be used
with injurio us results; and it will always af-
ford me pleasure to give any further infor,
nation as TO what know about Vegetine.

deer. ] was informed few days ago
OF man not very far from me who kill
ed and old doe that was SO puor
that she was SO poor, that she
was not fit for food and perhaps the
same doe left fawn which will per-
haps die Of starvation. Thus you see
perhaps two deer were killed or des-
troyed for one skin, when if the law
had been observed, by the 1st Of
September, both perhaps would have
been good venison. From all re-
ports if the fines were all collected
for deer killed in Cow Castle and
Providence Townships, they would
amount to not less than two or three
til ousand dollars. And each hunter
should bo made to pay his fine Of
twenty dollars Why should the law
be disregarded under Hampton as
Governor2 Should we not have re.
form. Who's duty is it to bring such
violators Of the law to justice, when
The Trial Justices here are aware of
the facts.
The law was made by the Lcgis'a-
ture Of South Carolina, and should
be observed by every good citizen,
until the same has been recinded by
the proper authority which I hope
will not be done until deer become so
plentiful through the county that it
will be necessary SO to do.
Perhaps these parties who have
been hunting SO early can tell us
where we can find law which has
been passed since the QUE you pub
lished; if SO they will confer a great
favor, OH law abiding citizen and

Editor Oranyebury Nc,os and Times:
was glad to see in your lust issue
part Of The game law copied, or
perhaps all, MS I was just thinking
Of asking you to bring it before the
public. Now, Mr.. Editor, is what
you have published tho real law
the latest law? the law for the
whole STATE, or for a few who are
law-abiding citizens7 The reason
| ask these questions is this:
I myself take a g rcat delight in deer
hunting, or, in other words, have
great hankering after what is known
by deer hunters, as the "Buck
Aguc,0 that is, to have M old Buck
to run over you and frighten YOU so
badly that you could not shoot
have never been in this predicament
but have a great desire 10 realize the
sensation. Italways happened that
my gun would go off before The argue
would come on, and ..frighten it Of, if
not the buck. But about the law.
Some so hunting in July and when
you ask them if they are not afraid
of violating the law, they tell 70 u
the law says any one can kill deer
at any time provided he does not sell
any part OF the same. in fact, one of
Chambcrlain's Trial Justices decided
this to bc the law last year in case
brought up before him, but afterwards
| learned that the one prosecuted
paid the Honorable Justice ten dol
lars to decide it in this way. But be
this as it may, here are men claim.
ing to be Jaw abiding citizens hunt
ing in defiance Of the law, as I under.
stand it., Again if you ask them or
tell them about violating the law
they will tell you the law says any
one can hunt when he plcascs, provi.
ded he does not go seven miles from
his home, and such nonsense. AL.
most every man has his own law
about hupting. One mans law says
you can kill bucks in summer; anoth.
er one says you can kill does III the
winter and so on.
Now, Mr.. Editor, shis is a whole.
sale violation of the game Law, be.
