LITTLE SHAVER.


Piles are frequently preceded by
a sense of weight In the back, loins
and lower part of the abdomen,
causing the patient to suppose he
has some affection of the Kidneys
or neighboring organs. At times
symptoms of indigestion are pres
ent as flatulency, uneasiness of the
stomach, etc. A moisture like
pe~rspiration, producing a very
d~isagreeable itching, particularly
at night after getting warm in bed,
is q very common attendant. In
ternal, External and Itching Piles
yield at once on the application of
DR.. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which
acts directly upon the parts effect
ed, absorbing the tumors, allaying
the intense itching, and effecting a
permanent cure where all other
remedies have failed. Dc not delay
until the drain on the system pro-
duces permanent disability, but
try it and be cured. Price, so cts.
Ask your druggist for it, and when
you cannot obtain 1t of him, we
will send it, prepaid, on receipt of
price. Address The DIR. Bosanko

been the efficient mai agent on the Pope:
Creek line of our railroad, was removed
and Mr.. F. NJ. Clarke, of Iowa, appointed
to the position. The removal was male

The cause assigned was that he was not a
Republican. We have known Mr. Sans
bury for many years and more uncom-
promising Republican we have never seen
He it was that organized the first negro
Republican meeting in this county. The
charge is weak, to say the least, and with
out a shadow Of truth in it to sustain the
assertion. Mr.. Sansbury has made good
officer and We shall miss him. We never.

Rev. G. F. Williams.

Rev. G F. Williams.
This gentleman the present Jealous,
efficient and much beloved rector of this
parish, has recently been called to the
rectorship of ,he Church of the Ascension.
at Sumpter, S. c., which call he informs
US he shall at an early day respectfully,
but positively decline. The reason of the
positive declension is, that Mr.. Williams
work in this parish is by no means fin
ished. Since his coming among US three
years ago, he has labored hard and earn
estly for the welfare of the parish and par
ishioners, with what success to the par
ishioners, we leave those who have been
fortunate enough te come under his be-
nign influence to judge. The most noble
and praiseworthy work which he has un-
dertaken for the good of the parish is yet
in its infancy, but bids fair at an early
date to become fixed reality, and will
stand as lasting monument to his zeal
and energy in bis noble work in the vine
ward of the Lord.-We refer to the build
ing of the new church in This village
Mr.. Williams has undertaken this work,
and is determined to remain among us
until its completion, and after that we can
but hope that he may still be induced to
remain and continue his noble and good
work in our mids'.

On Monday June 10th, 1881,
Resignation OF Capt. Page.

Capt. H. Clagett Page has resigned
his seat in the Board of County Commits
sioners. The immediate cause of this ac-
tion on the part of Capt. Page, was a
disagreement in the board upon ques-
tion which arose in the auditing of the
account of the Register of Wills. 1t seems
that Capt. Page had doubts OF the pro-
priety of some of the items charged in
that account, and moved that the ques-
ton of their allowance be referred to the
attorney for the Board, with Instructions
to make thorough examination of the
law bearing upon the question, and re-
port to the next meeting of the Board.
This molten was lost, Messrs. Bean and
Page, the two Democrats, voting in the
affirmative; and Messrs. Miller, Chappe
lear and Wright. the Republican members,
in the negative. Thereupon Capt. Page an
nounced his purpose to resign, and imme-
diately left the chamber. We did not
make any report of this last week, hoping
that the friends of Capt. Page would pre-
vail on him to reconsider his determine
ton before sending his resignation to the
Governor, but we understand that he
would not yield to ihsir persuasions.
While it must have been known to Capt.
Page, when lie entered the Board, that he
would be minority member, and subject
to be overruled by the combined vote of
the Republicans; and, therefore, we can
not approve his action; still it cannot be
said that the cause was slight one. An
Investigation into the lawful authority of
the Board to allow claims against the
county, by the legal adviser of the Board,
should always be in order. and it is very
difficult to see what justification the maj
ority of the Board can offer for their re-
fusal to do SO.
