William r. Davis, the business agent for
the Progressive american, newspaper
published in the interest of the colored res.
idents of this city, appeared before Mr.
Fiero, Assistant United States District At
torney, yesterday, as complainant against
Messrs. Poole Il Donnely, the managers of
tho Grand Opera House. He said that he
is full-bloodcd negro, and was slave in
South Carolina. He dresses fashionably.
He went to the Grand Opera House on
Saturday afternoon last with young lady

said that they wcro not good, and that the
holder might get the money for them at the
box office. The tickets wero handed into
the office, but tho complainant refused to
accept any money for them. Ho went out
side of tho theatre, and, obtaining the SER

money with which to buy two other tickets.

To BRING Ur LAND.--Much of tho soil
10 South Carolina hos been exhausted by
continual cropping without manure. Many
aud many an acre of originally good land
in the State has been impoverished by get
ting all that possibly could bo got from it,
and nothing put on in return. This land
could be brought up by commercial fcrtili
zers, but it would be very expensive. Green
manuriDg is cheaper and is equally as affeo.
tive. Much of the land referred to has
beon exhausted BY having all vegetable
matter in it used up, and green manuring
will supply just what is wanted. CONNER.
oial fertilizers will not supply tho land with
the matter in which it is deficient. Stable
manure is good, but where can itbo procured?
The field pea is rapid growing plant and
is excellent to use as q green manure. The
field to be improved should be put in good
order and some fertilizer should bo used.
Sow the peas broadcast, and at the proper
time turn tho plants under.

WHAT cAUsEs THE poIsoNs.


Science nor observation has ever settled
this question satisfactorily or even with
probable certainty. An intelligent farmer
OF this county says the poison only exists
along the great copper or lead belt which
passes through the State and that it can
be traced in this way from Duoktown to
Ore Kuob and he infors therefore that it is
mineral poison evaporating from copper
orc. He cites the fact that fish always die
in the streams near copper minea,. I
found it to be the prevailing opinion in the
counties of Haywood, Macon and Cherokee
that it was produced by cobalt, a mineral
generally known under the popular name
of "ay poison" They think in damp
places it orystalizes on tho rocks and cattle
lick it and in that way become infected with
tho poison.
There are many, and perhaps majority
OF the people who believe that the poison is
vegetable, and that cattle acquire it by
eating grasses in certain yicinitiey, gene,
rally in coves on the North side of noun
tains. They say, and this is admitted, that
cattle kept up until tho dew is off tho
grass in the morning seldom get poisoned,
and that it docs not exist in Southern ex.
posures whore tho sun can penetrate and
dry the grass early. They oite instances
OF cattle feeding in the same range, and
those that come to it from distance are
not infected beoause thoy do not get there
early in the morning, while those who feed

now 1T IS COMMUNICATED

Persons are poisoned either by eating
the flesh of cattle or sheep that have fed
upon it, or drinking the milk or by eating
butter made from the cream. 1t is the
better opinion chat meat which has been
sated and had to take the salt will not
produce the sickness, and for the same
reason butter well salted may be eaten with
impunity, though there are many we'll in.
formed persons who say that this is by no
means a sure preventive. Cattle often
acquire the disease and it lies dormant in
the system and undiscovered until thoy are
driven and heated, and then it is developed
and tho same applies occasionally to persons
who are not badly poisoned. 1t is said that
COWS giving milk do not suffer, while the
calf sucking tho milk dies. Buttermilk
very seldom, if ever poisons, the poison
goes off 10 the butter.

An old man by the namo of Wrickler,
aged 76 years, and his wife and son 20
years of ago, died noar Boone fortnight
ago from "mik Sickness aud SO startling
an event as that in quiet country is tho
topic of conversation everywhere in the
community aud continues for long time.
It has elicited tho history of similar deaths
and induced individuals to give their ex-
pcrienco and opinions upon this mysterious
subject. From these your correspondent
selects various statements and copjootures,
many, it is true, conflicting, but neverthe-
less novel and interesting.
The symptoms of tho disease, as devel-
oped IN men are very great nausea aud high
degree of nervous excitement, ending in
tremblings, convulsions and death. Fever
of low type accompanies it and inexperi.
euccd physicians often treat it for typhoid
fever in its first stages. heard 40 intelli-
gent physician say that his graduating
thesis was upon "milk Sickness" for which
he was complimcnted, and thut the first
case of the kind he was called to attend he
failed to recognize the disease, aud was
treating it for typhoid fever, until an old
lady of the neighborhood happened at the
house, and inquired if there was not milk
sickness in the house, aud on the physician
asking why, replied that she sneIled it.
The doctor says she was correct, and that
his subsequent experience taught him that
there is peculiar odor cmanatng from
this disease which is easily recognized by
those familiar with it.

A WORD FROM MISSISSIPPI.

Senator Lamar, of Mississippi,
is credited with the authorship of a
letter recently written to Washing
ton, and which has found its way
into the newspapers. The writer is
evidently discouraged at the situa~
ton. He says:
"The emergency presented is to be
found in the fact that every Northern
State, without exception, has declared
against US, on an issue made up of the
right accorded us by the Constitution,
previous TO the late war, of home gov
eminent, or, as 1t Is popularity under
stood, of each State to regulate and
control it's own affaire. This right was
not only clearly understood, but as
clearly recognized. And that such ia
not the fact to day demonstrates that
at the North we are regarded as con-
quered people, subject to such penal
ties in the form of punishment as the
conuuerers may dictate. In other
words, we are not o part Of the Union,
possessed of equal rights, but people,
if not hated, at least suspected, and to
DE treated as alien enemies, dangerous
to the peace and welfare Of the entire
country. The Democratic party has
made heroic fight in our and it's own
behalf at the Moth, but made it in
vain. New York and Indiana are
both claimed for US, but both are
doubtful. 1t is practically to-day a
Solid North against a Solid South.
This is the emergency in which we
are called upon to act. Now, to con-
tinue the struggle is simply to-lead
forlorn hope; we can not conquer,
and in a continuance of the struggle
we only add to our own trouble, in

IN ALL THINGS GIVE THANKS.

In compliance with custom
which originated with our Christian
forefathers more than hundred
years ago, the people Of the United
States will, with one accord, at the
suggestion of their Chief Magi8,
trate, give thanks to Almighty God
for the conspicuous and manifold
blessings they have enjoyed during
the past year. It is a beautiful
custom, and one which will continue
to be observed, we trust, for years
to come. 1t is the proper recogni-
ton on the part of Christian Ma
ton of the Supreme Source of all
good.
Surely no people On earth have
great reason for making such an
acknowle dgement of natures
choicest blessings, lavishly be-
slowed than ours. What more
could have been done to secure our
happiness? Surely life's patch
should be a bright one to most of
US. Health, wealth, prosperity, fine
climate and all that is necessary to
make life pleasant. A free coun-
try, where all are at liberty
to worship God in their own
way, and pursue whatever
avocation in life they may choose
without molestation, so long as they
obey laws enacted for the general
good. These are some of the things
we have to be thankful for.
And we have had during the past
year abundant crops. The efforts
of those who till the soil have been
very successful. Business is i'm
proving, and distrust is giving away
to that confidence which is the basis
of true and permanent prosperity.
At no period in our history has a
general Thanksgiving Day been
more appropriate.

FROM KENTUCKY TO INDIANA
Speaking Of the latest effort to
save Indiana to the Democracy by
colonizing colored voters over there,
the Philadelphia Press SAYS:

save Indiana to the democracy by
colonizing colored voters over there,
the Philadelphia Press says:
We suppose that about the best
thing the poor whites Of Kentucky
could do for themselves Would be to
emigrate to Indiana. The Democratic
newspapers of the last mentioned State
are urging upon the party Managers
the necessity Of increasing their vote
at the next Presidential election, and
a plan for the importation Of 10, 900
farm laborers from Kentucky is being
extensively discussed. Such Ken.
tuckians as are willing TO remove TO
Indiana with the intent Of becoming
permant citizens OF the State ought 10
be encouraged, and if the Democratic
National Committee furnishes 100000,
or any less sum to aid the scheme,
nobody can object.
SHOULD these people migrate to H.
diana, they will be brought under
some of the influences of civilization,
and will enjoy advantages Of seIf-im>
provement and for educating their
children such as Kentucky will not be
able to furnish them within the pres
ent century. They will also live n q
State in which the laws are enforced
with reasonable certainty, and in
which equal rights and equal opFor-
tunities are accorded to all; aud, fur
thermore, they Will themselves he
compelled to obey the laws.
sit is generally supposed that from
5000 to 5000 Kentuckians were
brought inro Indiana just before the
October election in 1876, and that they
remained long enough to vote for Til
den and Hendricks at the November
election. The election laws of Indiana
are said to be exceedingly defective in
this regard, aud it is not difficult f0r
any one to vote who can show the
least claim to citizenship. If the
Democrats OF Indiana can only carry
their State with the assistance Of their
Kentucky brethren, it is far better
that they should furaish homes for
their imported voters and make them
citizens of the State. Under the excel
lent common school system Of Indiana,
the second generation Of the c0lvnists
would most likely become Republi
cans, but this is contingency Of
which the Democratic managers take
no account. Their object is to secure
present success. If they can attain
the desired end without violating the
law, let them go on with their scheme
of col0niZation."

searching cdlndT-
tic medicine that can be employed: cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill a 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 Z worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or eyade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatiyes, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infamed.
They reach the vital fountains Of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the clements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-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.
