A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHERS TO
THEIR FRIENDs.

Some weeks ago, a gentleman
passed through our city by the
name of Hawley exhibiting what we
considered a most wonderful sue
cess in the way of a washing ma
chine. Nor were we alone in this
opinion. Everybody that saw it
wash concurred with lis. We
were induced to buy the right to
this and several other counties,
believing in so doing, that we
would be able to confer upon all
house-keepers in this section a
great benefaction, by making it
possible for each of them to OBJ
tain one of these machines. We
reasoned about this new enterprise
in this manner: IL it is humbug,
we don't want to sell it. We had
rather lose the money it cost us
than to put off a humbug upon our
subscribers and friends. We
thereupon, determined to place
these machines in the hands of
several of our most prominent and
reliable citizens upon TRIAL. In
every instance we asked these gem
tlemen to give the machine thor
ough test, and, if they were not
satisfied, to return the machine to
us and not one word should be said
about selling. This was done, and
in every single instance the parties
were not Only pleased, but came up
and gave us their certificates to that
effect We are now thoroughly
satisfied that we have the only
w lshing machine in the world thai
is a success, and we can offer it tC
the general public feeling assured
that it is oil we claim f9r it, An,

child IL years of age can do the
washing OF whole family with
one of these machines in one-fourth
of the time that it formerly took
the washer-women to do it by the
old rub-board plan. In using this
machine it is not necessary at any
time to put your hands into the wa
ter, and, besides, you stand up in
an erect position all the time--no
bending over and no crippled backs
when the washing is done. With
this machine you may wash fifty
pieces just as easily and quickly as
you can wash one. 1t washes bed
quilts, blankets and carpets with
as much facility as pocket hand
kerchief. It does away with all
boiling Of clothes. There is no
rubbing friction--and hence
the wear and tear saved by washing
on one OF these machines will pay
for it in few washiags. Ladies
who have fine laces of any kind to
wash can not afford to be without
one OF these machines. 1t only
costs 49,, and is we'll worth ten
times the money to any family to
have one. Call at the Journal
office and see for yourselves.

ANOTHER APPEAL

Notwithstanding that some $500
in money and goods have been dis
tributed by the committee and
others for the reliefof those who
suffered from the effects of the late
cyclone, we learn through Mr.. A.
}. Lee, who is thoroughly acquain-
ted with the condition of all the
sufferers, that there is still much to
be done Mr.. Lee says that some
OF these unfortunate people must
still have help or else they will
suffer There are many people
living in our county who call
themselves Christians and who
are able to help these sufferers
and, yet, have not contributed a
single nickel. Is this the sort of
christianity that you boast of in
your long faces and sanctimonious
demeanor? The world has q poor
opinion of any mans christianity
that will not prompt him to re-
lieve the suffering under circum-
stances like these, and it ought to
have. True religion consists not
so much in what man does as it
does in what a man DON'T do. If
you want to exemplify your re-
ligion, then, do something for
these sufferers, or else take in your
sign.

Our Clothes Washer!
PRONOUNCED A WONDER,
Full SUCCESS.

The HAwLEY CLOTHES WASHER is giving
great satisfaction. The proprietors of this
paper have the exclusive right to sell them
in Sumter, Lee, Randolph, Stewart and
Terrell Counties. The machine weighs
only two pounds and is very simple--a
child 10 years old can work it. The only
secret about the success Of this washer is
in knowing how to use it, and we furnish
printed directions with each machine for
that purpose. We also keep on hand fol-
sale one of the best Wringers made. Be-
low we give a few voluntary certificates

Latest-As TO Mary's Lamb.
Mary had little lamb,

Mary had little lamb,
Its fleece was black as ink,
And Mary had dyspepsia so
She couldn't sleep wink.
She suffered both by night and day,
With pains and aches, until her
Friends suggested she should take
P. DAvIs's PAIN KILLER.
It quickly turned dyspepsia out
And made her good as new,
And just the way that Mary did,
Should all dyspeptics do.

A BIG ESTABLISHMENT.

As visitor enters the large es-
Enlistment of A. j. BaldwinsNCo.,
two doors north Of the post Office,
he is charmed at once with the
cordial reception he receives from
both proprietors and clerks. This
house carries the largest assert
ment and greatest variety Of goods
of any mercantile house in this
section of the state. A purchaser
may buy here anything from a
fine cambria needle or paper of
pins up to a handsome suit Of
furniture, and that, too, at prices
that are simply astonishing. One
very commendable feature about
the firm of A. J. Baldwin & Co., is
that they deal in nothing but good
stock. No shoddy goods can be
found in this store at any price.
They have learned by long expe-
rience that it pays to keep moth
ing but the BEST. They have on
exhibition just as you enter the
front door the most wonderful
SEWING MACHINE now made-The
ROYAL ST.. JOINS. 1t is a SELF
BANDER, always adjusting the band
itself. 1t is, also, the lightest
running machine known, only re-
curing a force of 81 OF. to propel
it. 1t can be run with a stran of
No. 60 spool cotton as band.
The case is of beautiful walnut
and makes a handsome piece of
furniture to say nothing Of its
superior value as a machine. 1t
is the only machine we ever saw
that sews regardless of the direc-
ton Of the wheel. This machine
can be bought for the small sum
of $35., notwithstanding its vari-
ed improvements. 1t is warrant
ed against all natural wear; and
if any part fails, through imper-
lection, or wear by fair usage,
within five years, they will supply
a new one to replace it, free Of
charge. Everybody should see
this machine before buying. Fur
ther on, we found the large coun-
ters literally spread with fresh
importation of beautiful glass
ware, consisting Of fruit, cake and
sugar dishes, cream pitchers and
everything necessary or desirable
for table use. All of these goods
are being sold marvelously cheap.
All kinds of Queens ware, Crock
cry, Tin ware, etc, can be found
in this establishment. They keep
ON hand a handsome stock of Dry
GOODS, Boots, Shoes, Hats, Ladies'
Dress goods and everything found
in a first-class dry goods store
Farm tools and implements is a
specially with A. j. Baldwin &
Co., to say nothing of their i'm
mense stock of stoves etc. Il
you want beautiful set Of furni
ture A. j. Baldwin & Co.'S. is the
place to get it. In short, they
keep everything that purchaser
may wish to look at, and that
too, at such prices as will aston
ish the buyer. The ladies', es
pecially, should go and examin,
this mammoth stock of goods
They will be certain to find some
thing they need.
