of listening 70 series Of sermons
better calculated to accomplish the
purposes intended than those preach
cd by the minister's on this occasion.
Prof. Duncan beside his effort in be.
half of Wofford College, was zeal
GUS and eloquent worker for the sal
vation Of souls and doubtless his STIR
ring sermons bore their full share of
the fruit of the meeting. The period
of campmeetings is not passed, nor
will be, so long as people will assem-
BILE in mass TO hear the gospel.
Before closing these notes We will
express our grateful acknowledge
mcnts 10 our friends for the words of
encouragement everywhere given
concerning the DEMOCRAT. We are
determined that the paper shall sue
ceed-and succeed upon its merits
only; therefore such words as we
heard spoken during the meeting,
serve TO strengthen as we'll az en-
courage us. AS the peoples organ,
we offer them a newsy, reliable and
well printed paper, and, by the help
Of their continued patronage, We hope

case is pressed, no matter who wins.
But whether Mr.. O'Conor is right
or not, the bondholders will do well to think
twice before acting on his dictum and be-
ginning proceedings with view to having
the eminent lawyers plea out of court EN-
bodied in decree turning the railroads of
Tennessee over to them. When they begin
a raid with the purpose to wreck our railroad
system, farewell to State credit sentiment,
and expect war to the bitter end. Such a
suit would array every paper, nearly, in Ten
nessee in bitter hostility to the creditors. Be-
lieving them to be men of foresight, shrewd-
ness and GOODNESS, we do not believe the
creditors will embark in any such enterprise
Some OF then-whom the more thoughtful
ones have repudiated-are on a bulldczing
expedition, and this opinion of Mr.. Charles
O'Conor is the grand war-whoop of the
forces"

Additional from Cape Town.

LONDON, April 9.-Advlces from Cape
Town about the disaster to the British con-
voy on the Intombe river, March 18th, report
the British troops, and it is thought forty
wagon-drivers and their followers, were
killed. Twenty-Five Zulu corpses were found
on the field CT battle. 1t is believed many
more were drowned. The Zulus had ample
time to get news of the convoy, as it was de-
layed at the ford three days by heavy rains.
The ford was only four miles from Luneburg.
1t is thought there was great carelessness in
selecting the position of the camp, and in
neglecting to send larger force from Lune-
burg to meet the convoy. Colonel Pearson
signals from Ekowe that he can hold out ten
days longer until tine fourth of April; his
provisions only are short; ne has plenty of
ammunition. Scouts report that the Zulus
are concentrated in large masses eleven miles
north IF 1ugela river. They are in dense
jungle, so that their numbers are unascer-
tainable,
There were serious riots last night in a
colliery village in Durham, near Consett.
Sixteen police protecting the non-strikers
were injured and house wrecked. Rioting
was resumed to day, and it is feared may be-
come general among the strikers.

The State Registers slander Euit.

Speaking of the suit brought by James
L. Magic, a republican Office holder,
against the State Register that paper says
that the suit has accomplished several
things which may be beneficial to other
officers who look upon public funds as
their property. ALTHOUGH Magic did not
get anything out of the suit, the court de-
Gliding that his character was not damaged
to any extent, he may have learned useful
lesson. The Register says;
He has helped to establish, rs we say,
the fact that all the acts of the state on
GERS are open to public criticism and to
public inspection, and another fact, viz:
that it was illegal for HIM to draw from
the public treasury pay for Sunday and
for days when he was not actually EN-
ployed. 1t was the honest belief Of the
Register Company that this was the law
before the suit was tried, and we acted up
on that honest belief. Magie's view was
different and he can now make manifest
the honesty which he has so often pro-
claimed, and to which the president of this
company has professed credenoe, by walk
ing up TO the state treasury and there de-
posting the money which he illegally
drew, When he does this we shall be
pleased to publish a copy of the receipt in

Druggist and Physician.

A physician, complaining bitterly about
dull times, went to his druggist to find out
the reason why, at this season of the year,
his practice was not so extensive as form
erly; also, to find out what inducements
his brother medicos offered to attract away
his patients. He was startled when his
druggist answered as follows: Doctor,
coughs and colds are very prevalent, but
every one is purchasing HALE's HONEY or
HoREHoUND AND TAR, and RECEIVERS so
rapidly that there is no necessity for calling
in physician. Again, the reason that DIR.
f., on til street, is having so many pa
tents is owing to the frankness he adopted
10 prescribing 10 every case of coughs.
colds, ETC., a bottle of HALE's HONEY OF
HOREHoUND AND TAR, and finding it sue
cessiul, he has concluded in future
that all his patients, when troubled
with any disease of the lungs, shall imme-
diately commence taking HALE's HONEY
OF HOREHOUND AND TAR"
The druggists advice was snapped, and
tho almost discouraged physician now is
considered successful practitioner. His
claims are based upon the virtues of the
medicine he adopts. which in all cases is
