The question Of railroad freigh in
South Carolina is vital one to The
farmer, and is a grinding monopoly
that should not be borne any longer.

We say, unless we had ths farmers OF
the State at our back, and then we
would reduce them, or see why We
could notdo SO. The tariffs of freights
generally in South Carolina are si'"-
ply exorbitant, and yet we loose our
purse strings to the imposition with a
silence uncomplaining and marvellous.

This Sarsaparillais a combination of
vegetable alternatives = Stillingia, Man

of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
eficacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
It's ingredients are so skilfully COM
bined, that the full Alternative effect Of
each is assured, and while it is SO mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still so effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians ali over the coun.
try rerosc in it, prove their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence Of the superiority OF this Sar-
saparilla over every other Alternative
medicine. So generally is its superb
ority to any other medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.
