There is a constant effort on the part of
that grim monster Disease to become
master of mortal man. Only careful
observance of natural laws can render his
efforts unavailing. Yet too often inju-
diciOus excuses, sudden changes, too
great exposure, improper food or other
abuses of nature open the gateway, and
Disease gains a victory. Sometimes its
mastery is 50 complete that Nature OF
herself can never effect a dislodgement.
In such instances reinforce nature with
judiciOus use of Browns Iron Bitters and
we guarantee, in a short time, all disease
will be vanished.

seem to think. The owners of lots in
those directions placed them on the mar

A Meeting of the Charlottesville Liabili-
ties aud Assets.


The Charleston Mems and Courier Of
yesterday contains the following report OF
the liabilities and assets Of ID. Mcpherson
& Co., OF that city, who recently failed:
AT a recent meeting Of the creditors of
d. Mcpherson & Co. cotton factors OF TINS
city, who failed on September 70, the
statement showed that the Liabilities OF
the firm amounted to $S9,6II and its assets
to SIS, fSl. Mr.. McPhersOn's liabilities on
previous failure amounted t0$5i ,6Ol ana
his assets to SIS. SO. The available assets
are mOrtgaged for their full value. and 1t
is said to be doubtful if the general cred
itors realize anything Mr.: J. b. steele
has been elected agent of the creditors.
The members Of the firm are Mt. u. Nc
PhersOn and Mr. St John +. hlnloch.
The records Of the commercial agencies
show that Mr.. Mcpherson came TO
Charleston after the war and started
commission and cotton factOrage business
as a member of the firm of Hopkins Nc
PhersOn a Co. In 1870 this firm was dis
solved, and be started out on ms own &C
count. He did a very large business, re-
quiring a capital to run it, 1t Is SAID, OF
$500, 900. He had a valuable European
correspondence, and was large buyer
for Liverpool and other houses. In 1876
he became embarrassed 1t is alleged. on
account Of the political troubles OF lhat
year, and asked his creditors l0r an eA-
tension of time. In May, 1877, he made
a trust deed and mortgage on all
his real estate in Charleston, Beau
fort and ColletOn counties to secure his
creditors, his liabilities amounting at
that time to $72,54S IS. Mr.. a. ;. john
stOn, President of the Bank of Charles
ton, and Mr.. George Waterh0use, OF
Beaufort, were named in the deed as
trustees. The agreement was that he
should pay his Indebtedness in one, two
and three yearly payments, with = per
cent. interest. The property mortgaged
amounted in value to $50, O69. According
to a report Of a commercial agency in
February, 1881, Mr.. Mcpherson had about
paid up his Indebtedness, and was ''estI-
mated to be worth about $1,000" Mr..
KnlOch, who had been his bOOkkeeper for
three years, was in January, 1881, made
a member of the firm, under the style of
d. Mcpherson q Co. 1t is said he put in
about $1,000.

not intended to include the value
OF number of buildings that were not

that some buildings were completed soon
after that date, but my instructions were
similar to those sent to agents in other
parts Of the country: To give the num-
Der and cost Of buildings completed since
January l. 1883, to September 10, 1883,
the report not including the 18th Of Sep

AN INHUNIAN sTEP-FATHER.
Beating an Eight-Year Old Girl Until
She Can Hardly Stand.

Mary Cone, an eight-year-Old step
daughter Of a saloon keeper named j,
Writ, was rescued to-day by the Humane
Society of this city from a life-crueltv
that has never had its parallel here. She
was stiff and sore, and every step drew
forth expressions of pain.
When her body was examined, her
back and limbs, from her hips down to
her heels, were covered with bruises and
excavations. There were also great red
wales of flesh, and in many places the
skin was broken and the wounds bled.
When asked by whom she had been
beaten, the child said that her step
father had done it. She said that ON
Monday morning last she remained away
from school and at noon was afraid to
go home to dinner for fear that Writ
would discover her absence from school.
In the afternoon, also, she remained
away, and at night was afraid to 90
home. On Monday night she slept in
cart in the rear Of a bakery, but at an
early hour on Tuesday morning she was
awakened roughly by Writ, who seized
her by the feet and threw her forciblv
from the cart to the ground. He then
picked her up and dragged her into his
house, taking her upstairs to a bedroom.
Closing the door and windows, he took
off the child's clothing, and with a whip
made Of numerous tobacco stems twisted
together, proceeded to beat her unmerci-
fully upon her back and limbs. For a
quarter of an hour he administered this
brutal treatment, and then left the child
helpless in the room.
F.. A warrant was secured for the arrest of
Writ, but on going to his saloon to take
him into custody it was discovered that
he had left the city.
