WOMAN.
Hope for Suffering WOman-SOme-
thing New Under the Sun.

By reason of her peculiar relations, and her
peculiar ailments, woman has been compelled
to suffer- not only her own ills but those aris-
ing from the want of knowledge. or of con-
stands connected in the social organization.
The frequent and distressing irregularities Pc
culiar to her sex have thus been aggravated to
degree which no language can express. In
the mansions of the rich and the howell Of the
poor alike, woman has been the patient victim
of ills unknown to man, and which none but
she could endure-and without remedy. But
now the hour of her redemption has come.
She need not suffer longer, when she can find
relief in DR.. J. Bradfeld's Female Regulator,

CoLORFD TAXPAYERS

The colored people of Chatham make a
very creditsble exhibit, indication Of the fact
that they are realizing the importance of
being thrifty and industrious. The in
crease in the amount of property returned
by them this year as compared with the
previous year is evidence Of the growing
prosperous condition of this class Of our
population. We are glad to notice II, and
hope that the coming year there will be
even a better exhibit. The colored man,
who has his little home or plat of ground
aud mule, feels that he has ONE interest In
the preservation Of good government, of
law and order, and necessarily becomes a
better citizen. The digest for 1882 shows

One. rustic youth called for soda, and the

He stood there soaking gingerbread in it,

it a trial.

Land Titles.

Hon. l.. HI. Davis has written q let
ter to the Greenville journal in refer.
ence to the fraudulent lands" ques-
ton. He has Investigated the subject,
and gives the result of his labors:
The Commissioner of the General Land Of
fee made an investigation of these "Bit
Land" entries, and reported the result of his
investigation to the Secretary of the Interior,
and the latter to the Attorney General. All
three concur in the same opinion. They
class these entries, under four heads, which
are as follows:
1st. Those which appear by the County
Records to have been legally transferred by
the Patentees, and are now held by innocent
parties.
Id. Those which Lindsay ct al. attempt
ed to convey by forged claims of title from
patentees.
Sd. Those sold by the States to bona fide
purchasers, for non-payment of taxes.
4th. Those remaining in the name of pat
entees unclaimed by them or their represen-
tatives.
Below Is the language of the different De.
partments, in commenting upon the four
classes of entries:
81 see no reason why suits should not be
brought against lands in classes and 4, ex-
cept in cases hereinafter mentioned. No one
pretends to lay claim to lands embraced i'm 4th
class. The various county officials are hur-
rying them to sale, under the delinquent tax
j.. laws, to defeat action of the Government"
at quite probable, however, that a number
Of forged titles have been purchased in good
faith, for farming purposes, by persons of
moderate means, and are now occupied by
them as homesteads. Such entries ought not
In my opinion be disturbed"
"Suits should not be brought where lands
are in names of innocent purchasers"
From the above, it will be seen ut once that
no innocent purchaser will be disturbed. No
farmer will be ousted from his home, or
haraAsed with law suit. No one who has
bought in good faith, and is not participant
in, or prior TO, the fraud, need have any fears.
trust this is plain enough to allay all anxi-
ETY. or excitement.
1 may add that the Missouri delegation had
. conference Wednesday evening (12th) and
unanimously concluded to press bill set
tling this whole matter beyond all doubt and
all dispute.
The Information comes to me that letters
have been written, charging that am op-
posed to any action by Congress in this mat
ter. Some one will do me the kindness by
giving the names Of the parties making such
charge, for I unqualifediy and unhesitat-
fngly pronounce It q falsehoOd, - have never
by act, word. or look intimated to any person
that such is my feeling.
On the contrary, have busted mayself to

A Hanging at ROlla.

of intense excitement, as public execution
was one George BohannOn, who, last Novem-
Der, shot friend-Light, by name-while
under the influence of strong drink. Hewas
tried last December, and the jury had been
out but fifteen minutes, when they returned
with verdict of "murder i'm the first de-
gree" He was sentenced to be hung on
February oath, 1882, but his attorney Sc
cured new trial previous to said date. A
different jury was summoned, and again he
was convicted of murder in the first degree,
and was sentenced to swing on April 21st,
1882. Ever since he was condemned he has
been confined in the county Jail at this place,
About a month ago he made feeble at
tempt to escape. 1t was in the following
manner: A Temporary" lunatic was con-
fined i'm an adjoining cell, and he took all the
straw out of his bed and stuffed 1t In the
cracks of his cell to shield himself from
Imaginary assassins. Bohannon had a lamp
in his cell, and he set fire to the straw, think
ing that favorable opportunity to escape
might present itself. Such was not the case,
though, and be was almost suffocated by the
smoke before the fire could be eXtinguished.
Last week be made second attempt to get
out, but was again bai,ied. A boy of about
fourteen summers WAS confied I'm one of the
cells for burning fences. His cell door was
not kept locked, and be was allowed the
liberty of Jail. The tailor had been working
on one of the cells, and being called to din
ner left his hammer and ehisei where he was
working. During his absence the boy Sc
cured the hammer and chisel and gave them
to Bohannon. The lnnatie had been in the
habit of beating on the door OF biS cell with
rocks, and Bohannon went to work on the
lock of his cell with BANNER and ehisel,
timing his blows with those of the lunsfie;
and he succeeded In getting out OF his cell,
but could go no further. He was again Sc
cured and put i'm another cell, where he has
been confined until yesterday. During bis
