tic medicine that can be employed: cleans
Ing the stomach and bowels. and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
Ayers Pills have been known for
more than quarter of a century, and have
obtained q worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
tho several assimilativc organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tions within their range can rarely with
stand or cvade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baillcd tic hest of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their apcricnt action they gripc much less
than the common purgativcs, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inilamed
They reach the vital fountains of the blood
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the clements of weakness.
Adapted 10 all ages and conditions in
all climates. containing neither calonicl
nor any delcterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
augar-coating preserves them ever fresh
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

It is practice on some of our railroads
to allow clergymen to ride for half fare.
Recently, minister received olergyman's
half fare travelling card, as they are called,
and wrote to the superintendent, asking "if
he could not embrace his wife, Also" Tho
superintendent replied that he thought he
could, but did not want to say positively
until he had seon his wife, as he was
little fastidious in his tastes.

who mado the platform of principles upon
which Governor Hampton was nominated,
aud his promises in the canvass did not go
beyond those mado in our platform. Tho
letter worry evidently seeks to belittle tho
people of South Carolina by intimatiug that
they arc doing right simply because Gov.
Hampton makes them do so. This we
presume is considered compliment to tho
Governor, and as far rs it goes 10 that di-
reotion wo ogroc with it. Governor Hamp.
ton is conscientious, high toned and
honorable man, but he docs not have the
misfortune to DO tho only man in the State
with those virtues, nor is it fact that they
are confined to tho lowor portion Of South
Carolina. Governor Hampton neither pro-.
sides over party of hypocrites nor fools
He is the exalted leader Of high.toned and
honorable constituency, which extends from
tho mountains to the sen board. Governor
Hampton does not make the people of South
Carolina what they are, but on tho contrary
thoy, by their noble course 10 1876 and tho
evontful days that have followed, have made
him ono of tho greatest mon of his State.
The support which is given Governor
Hampton in the upper counties is as gcnu-
inc, as strong and as hearty as that givcn
him in any other quarter We do not
object to any praise that is bestowed on the
low country Democracy, for they have acted
nobIy against immense odds, and deserves
tue most sincere commentator, but at the
same time every sensible man in South
Carolina, who is at all familiar with State
politics, knows that the State could never
have been redeemed from Radicalsm with
out the up country, and that the LOW coun.
try could not to day retain control of tho
State without the influence aud strength
which is extended them from the up
country, which tho Springfield Republican
sneers at for its ignorance and hypooricy(?).
Wo believe that the Democratic party
throughout the entiro Stoto is composed Of
patriots and gentlemen of intelligence and
honor 1t has always been 80. In tho days
that are past the mp country boasted Of its
Calhonns, its MoDuffics, its ONcals, its
Wardlaws, its Orls and other great men,
who wero the peers of the Haynes, the
RutIedges, tho Lownds, the Legares and
others of the low country. Geographical
lines do not mark the diffusion of ability in
this State, as We might easily prove by an
enumcratiun Of tho prominent mon Of the
present time. There is no delegation in
tho present General Assembly which has
rendered moro cfGciont nnd valuable services
to tho'Dcmocralic party in this State than
tho Anderson delegation, and to torn them
"ignorant and Bourbons" is to apply the
samo term to Governor Hampton himself.
The letter to tho Springfield Republican is
pack Of ingenious misstatements, clothed
with enough truth to give it the appearance
of fairness, aud was evidently written under
tho inspiration of some one holding local
prejudioes. Our daily papers should CORRECT
such errors, in order that persons abroad
may not have false and unfavorable i'm
preston produced towards our State.

THE GIRL WHO DIED IN DENTISTS
CHAIR.-Sarah Stevens, the young woman who
was SuffOcated while undergoing a dental
operation at Annadale, Staten Island, on Sun
the Episcopal cemetery. DR.. Z. A. Hervey,
who attended Miss Stevens at the time of her
death, is pleasant featured gentleman, about
fifty years of age, and is hghly thought OF i'm
the vicinity. where he has practised medicine
Tor twenty-five years. He said to reporter
for the Sun: "MiSS Stevens teeth were all de-
cayed. She had suffered greatly, and il was
necessary that they should all be extracted.
She was in perfect health, and had no fear of
chloroform. She sat in an ordinary chair tip
ped back by books placed under the legs. Ii
took less than half the usual dose of chlOr0-
form to put her in a sound sleep. then pulled
out five teeth, and allowed her to awake SO
that She might spit out the blood. She was a
little nervous, and cried little, and rinSed out
her mouth. She said that she had felt the ope-
ration, SO gave her little more chlorOform
the next time. | then pulled five more teeth,
and had hold OF another when she suddenly

few times, and then began to fail. made her
breathe artificially, but it seemed as though
there had been sudden congestion, and in
five minutes she was dead. L have admins
tered chlOrofOrm over 1900 times i'm my prac

blood usually runs into the stomach, but i'm
