Gen. Hagood and the Abboville

reason to urge against Gen. lIagood than

their opposition will strengthen Gen. IIa--

mean by this to indicate an advocacy Of the
nomination Of Gen. I!agood, for We believe
that Gen. McGowan is largely the favorite

be the best policy for all parties In the loug

Symptoms Of a DiseasedLiver

pAIN in the right side, under the
edge Of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top Of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe.
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen
eral are costlve, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss of men,
ory, accompanied with painful sen.
sation Of having left undone some
thing which ought 10 have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and ne complains Of a prickly scnsa-
ton Of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer.
else would be beneficial to him, vet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few Of them cx-
listed, yet examination Of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

Squandoring tho States Money
on tho Columbia Canal.

Now that the Legislature Il about to meet
We think the press Of the State might with
rropricly discuss matters which are to come
before the body. The canal at Colunba
has cost tho State thousands of dollars, and
at the last session $1,000 additional was
appropriated to that great humbug But
as good luck would have it, there was some
flaw in tho appropriation and the money
has not been spent, and it is not too late to
save n depleted treasury from this drae.
Much has been said on this subject and
valuable time has been wasted Gu this ques.
tion, aud we hopc 10 sec the Legislature at
it's next session take such steps as will for
over settle it. Tho canal is local enter
prise in which tho people of AbbcviIe
County are not interested to the amount of
a cent, and VIC cannot see why we should be
taxed hundreds of dollars to build up Co.
lumbia when our towns and farms arc Ian
gushing for tho want of money. 1t seems
worse than folly to tax tho people OF Long
Canc to enrich tho people of the Cougarce.
Let the Legislature promptly relieve the
State of this extravagant and foolish appro.
priation. We arc sure that it is not the
wish of any of our people to add ono far
thing to their own shoulders for tho canal.
1t would, in our opinion be better for the
State to appropriate money to develop
Caesars Head as a health resort fer those of
her citizens who may live in maarious dis
tricts. We want to invest no money in tho
Columbia canal, and hope that our Repre-.
sentatvcs will look after the interest Of
their people in w;thdIawing this appropria-
tiou. Let our exchanges speak out on this
humbug. .-AbJeuiWc Press and Bannc,

Little Industries.

One Of the drawbacks to the prosperity
Of the South is the nattcnton of her pco-
pie to the development Of the many little
industries which give employment to idle
hands, and add to the comfort and wealth of

bcr dealers, who, during tho past winter

atvc'y little snow fell in tho pincrcs Of
Wisconsin, and it was thought that, as
result, the yield would not be up to the
avcragcj by means of ice roads and rail-
roads, the loggcrs have been enabled to
bring in about us large crop as usual. In
Michigan there was an abundance of snow,

IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO PARTIES
IN NEED OF EMPLoYMENT.-In com
munication to us the patentecs and
proprietors Of the Centennial Cake
and Baking pan ask us to refer them
to q party who would make q good
agent to sell the above named pan to
the people Of our own and adjoining
counties, and as the best means of
bringing the matter to the notice Of
parties in this vicinity who are in
want of business that is light and
easy to perform, and one that there is
considerable money to be made at,we
insert this notice. The following is
a description of the pan: 1t is made
of Russia Iron, and will bake cake
a beautiful brown, much nicer and
IN ore evenly than it can be baked in
the old fashioned tin cake pan, and
being provided with u detachable rim,
you can, by simply raising hook,
remove the rim Of the pan from the
sides of the cake without breaking or
injuring it in the least, thus leaving
the cake on the bottom of the pan,
very convenient for icing or frosting,
the bottom of the pan being raised
preventing the cake from being burnt
on the bottom; the tube in the center
can be removed by inserting COM
mon case knife in the slot in the top
and turning it half round when it will
drop out; there is also a slide on the
bottom by which you can close the
hole after removing the tube, making
plain bottom pan for baking fruit
cake, bread, biscuits, ETC., thus prac-
tically giving You two pans for the
price Of one. With all these advan-
tagcs over all other pans, an agent
has no trouble at all in selling from
ten to twenty five of them per day.
One agent has sold over one thousand
of these pans in one county, and re-
ports that he has not gone over one
half of it yet, and we would advise
any one out of employment to write
at once to l.. f. Brown & Co, l25 and
l27 Central Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio,
mentioning that they read this notice
in our paper, and they will send you
a descriptive circular and terms to
agents and full particulars as to ter
ritory, etc.
