The Important Question.

OF all loathsome diseases Catarrh stands
pre-eminent. It renders its victim as dis
gushing to himself as to others. And the
most humiliating of all is the consciousness
that his presence is offensive to those around
him. IF any disease deserves the name of
universal, it is this Dietetic errors and the
follies which fashion imposes upon us tend
to foster and disseminate it. To the pitiful
cry of its victims, is there any cure for Catarrhf
there is but one answer consistent with
Christian reason. God has never sent one
evil into the world for which he has not
sent the remedy For the greatest OF all
spiritual and moral evils, the Great Physi-
clan has prescribed potent and neyer-fail-
ing remedy. He has given explicit rules for
the treatment and preservation Of the spirit
ual and moral man, but He is silent in ali
matters relating to the physical man: 1t
would be an unwarrantable detraction from
His benefcent character to suppose that He
has afflicted the greater portion Of humanity
with an incurable disease. The day OF
plaques is past. The God of Christianity is
q God of Love, of Mercy. His message is
'good will to ali men," The earth and all
contained therein was intended to supply
mans wants and surely he has no greater
wants than remedies for his infirmities
Science is rapidly proving that the earth Is
fitted to supply mans uttermostneed. New
medicinal plants are constantly being. dis
covered and new properties developed from
those already known. For Catarrh, the
Sase's Catarrh Remedy. It's efficacy has
been tested in many thousand cases with
uniform success. Cases that had been re-
peatedly pronounced incurable, readily
yielded to it. In confirmed, or obstinate
eases, DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
should be taken in connection with the use
of the Catarrh Remedy. Full particulars in
Piercc's Memorandum Books. They are
given away by druggists.

FATAL ACCIDENT,

6n Friday aftsafnapon, : On during the severe
gale whichs prevailed for several hours, a
frightful accident occurred upon the planta-
ton of Mrs. D. M. Watson, resulting in the
sudden death of Mr.. Thomas Stacks, who
was crushed beneath falling tree in the
open field. 1t appears that Mr.. Stacks was
engaged in cutting briars along ditch, and
had returned to his work in the afternoon,
where it was evident that he had been dill
gently engaged, and the amount of work
done by him produces the impression that
he was killed towards night. Not coming
home at the usual hour, it was supposed
that he had gone to neighbor's to get med
icinc for one of the children, and it was late
in the night before the family were alarmed
at his protracted absence, when search was
instituted, which resulted in finding the
body, at the place designated, about three
o'clock on Saturday morning. He was
found in such a position as to make it plain
that the tree struck him on the head and
right shoulder, and then upon his left knee,
which was dislocated. The tree was limb
less and decayed, and the only one in
large field. Coroner Herrick held an in
quest over the body on Saturday morning,
when the jury rendered a verdict "that the
deceased came toshis death bya blow from
q falling tree" Mr. Stacks was an industri-
Gus, hard-working man, with large family
ofamalhchldren dependent ;upon'his labor
for. support This sad affliction leaves
them destitute, indeed.

ALARM OF FIRE.

- The residence of Mrs. Todd, on Main
street, was discovered to be on fire about 4
o'clock p. m. ON last Friday. The ringing
of the fire bell brought out the citizens in
large numbers at once. Believing it was
impossible to save the building, owing to
the fact that The roof was already on fire
and the wind blowing perfect gale, num-
Der of persons went to carrying everything
out of the house. Besides the furniture,
everything that could be moved, including
doors, sashes and mantles, was quickly re-
moved from the building In the meantime,
the cry for water was raised, and the hope
was entertained of saving the house, which
set every one to work, and by the brayest
efforts the fire was e1tinguished. The col
ored people deserve great praise for their en-
ergy and faithful service. 1t is thought that
the fire originated by spark from the black
smih shop opposite-the first things burnt
being lot of old clothing and a chair in the
corner of the room next to the shop. There
was an opening between the shingles and
weather. boarding by the side Of the chair.
through which spark could be blown on
such blustery day as Friday.

THE DRAINAGE QUESTION.

MEssRs. EDITORS Doubtless the
drainage Of our swamps and bottom
lands is a matter of high Importance to
the country at large. 1t would add to
the wealth and prosperity of the land
owner; it would contribute much to the
general hygiene of the whole people.
These two propositions are; conceded by
all thinking men to be facts: But the
mode to effect the desired end may not
be very generally agreed upon. A
drainage law, like all other laws, should
be founded upon principles of substan-
tial justice, and be consistent with estab-
lished usage and the precedents. of legis-
lation. ;: Such law should not impinge
upon individual rights. Far better suffer
temporary ineonyeniences which may be
abnormal and merely incidental, than to
hastily enact remedies that may entail
greater evils. Pestilence is periodic and
prevails on the mountain top as we'll. as
in the valley. You cannot quarantine
cholera out of Calcutta or yellow fever
out of New Orleans.
Well digested law should endorse not
only what is legitimate of the past, but
also what may not conflict with probable
future interest, and so at once assume the
character of permanency. Wescertainly
have had within the last decade enough
of reconstruction, revision and legisla-
tion.; Laws passed in haste and ignor-,
ance; laws parallel, conflicting, supernu-
merary, redundant, now stand upon our
statute books. The Drainage Law for
Anderson County partakes of the char
acteristic perhaps of all these classifica-
tions. 1t is nullity and cannot possibly
escape abolition either by the courts or
the Legislature. But in its room we will
have something far better, and that will
in Yaalegal and just manner administer.
relief. Let the Drainage Act passed in
1856, and of general application be ak
amined for remedy. With little extern.
sion this Act can be made to subserve
theaead, and confscate no property or
trample upon the rights of no citizen.
Every advanced farmer, every enlight-
ened man will hail with hearty endorse
ment any enactment looking forward to
the improvement of the salubrity and
development of the agriculture of the
country. A sound conservatism and an
observance of constitutional landmarks,
only, can extricate from present compli-
cations, give deliverance from the follies
and recklessness of the late past, and
secure and perpetuate the full measure
of our liberties.
