the completion of this enterprise. The
President recommends the adoption Of
more stringent neutrality laws for the
punishment of couspirators against
friendly nations, and an enlargement Of
the consular service. la speaking Of
the revenues of the government for the
fiscal year ending June 80, he shows
that the gross revenues from all sources

were 1920, ,473, leaving a surplus Of
S57 ,603. 92. The total exports were

leaving balance of trade in our favor
of $2,523,037. The President also re.
commends the abolition Of all Internal
Revenue taxation, except the tax on

continue the present high rate Of taxa

our immediate representative, is violent
ly opposed to its passage. There is now
no danger Of partisan administration Of
the law, for the Democrats have the
control of the government, and therefore
the threatened danger Of Republican
interference, which was so strongly urged
last session, does not exist now. The
opponents urge that the appropriation is
unconstitutional, but they do this against
all precedents. The general government
has heretofore appropriated money to
the work Of education among the States.
II is certainly not more unconstitutional
than many items of local appropriation
in the river and harbor bills which have
repeatedly passed Congress. The appro
priation has precedent. 1t will serve a
great public purpose and will prove
advantageous to the whole Union, and
especially to the South. 1t should be
passed by all means.

1T. Anthony's Fire.

Mr.. w. $. Jones, well-tO.dO farmer

He Is 73 years old, ard is a conservative
man-is by no means an enthusiast on
any subject, yet he says to reporter ::
II am satisfied that would not be alive
to day had it not been for Swift's Specific
About thirty years ago I broke out with
what the Doctors called st. a nthony's
Fire. Under medical treatment got
temporary relief, but soon the same dis
ease or very similar one broke out In q
more aggravated form. The doctors gave
it another name and treated me 80 that
the eruption disappeared for time, but
the effects of the medicine were worse
than the disease itself (the effects Of pot.
ash and mercury mixtures is always bad
when shortly afterward D much worse
type Of the same disease broke out. 1
became satisfied that the potash mixtures
l had taken had merely driven the dis
ease further into my system and blood
making almost wreck of me. repeat

weaker. At regular intervals this dread.

each time in moro intensified form
For year was bedridden, and had to
give up looking after my business entire
~. About year ago l WAS advised by a
friend to take Swift's Specific IS. s. 81
With the first bottle my general health
began to improve. The Swift's Specific
drove out the poisoned blood which the
potash mixtures had driven into my syB-
tenn. broke out in pimples and blotch-
cs when the poison was coming out
These all soon passed away. Tho medi-
cine at once gave me new hope, my spir-
its rose, my general health improved in
every way. My digestion, which had
been so injured by the use of the potash
mixtures, was rapidly improved by
Swilts Specific, and for the first time in
years enjoyed my food. My appetite
increased, and continued to gain
strength and flesh until weigh more
than 1 have in forty years, and feel as
hale and hearty as did when l was a
boy. The Swiit's Specific has benefited
me in every way, and l know it has
aided several years to my life. While
am 73 years old, and therefore living on
borrowed time, feel that n new career
is before me. No amount of money coul,i
purchase from me the years that have
been added to my life by this valuable
medicine. hope you will publish this
that others, and particularly old people,
may know OF the value of this remedy.

On appropriation toward the work, that
no depot will be established between
Lowndesville and the village of Auder-
sOn, distance of twenty miles, and 1t is
furthermore said that A nderson has voted

that no depot or stopping place shall be

ty of the people Of Anderson, and as
such an arrangement would be greatly to
their advantage, we are not surprised at
their action in thus preventing the estab-
fishing of competing stations. If the
people along the line of this road had
contributed TO the grading, they would
have had at least two stations on the road
between LoWndesville and Anderson.
On the Augusta aud Knoxville road the
depots are located at intervals of from
four to eight miles, and the same accom-.
modations would have been furnished to
the people along the Savannah Valley
road above townsville, if they had
helped to build it. or course all the
trade and business which would go to

Anderson, but az Anderson advances the
money with which to secure the road, we
think It nothing but selfprotection for
Anderson to claim her just rights in the
matter, and thus prevent others from
appropriating the road which she may
build. If she builds the road she is Ell.
titled to the largest benefit, and this can
be secured only by setting an embargo on
the use of her own road to her own hurt.
Let Anderson stick to this resolution,
and she will not be hurt by the addition.
al subscription Of $4,000.
Our friend puts the argument for hav-
ing no depots between Anderson and
Lowndesville very strongly. We havo
had to pay great deal moro than any
other community, and justice would
accord US the right to tho greater part of
the enjoyment of the road. We have no
doubt, however, that there will be depots
established at suoh points as may be
willing to subscribe fair sum for their
location. Anderson Ia not selfish com.

ABBEvlLLE AND ANDERSON.

The people of Anderson village have
bonded the town for $50, 900 to build the
Savannah Valley railroad, and it will

Abbeville epend $4,000 to secure the
Rame advantages for which Anderson
pays 90 dear. With cheap freights ut
Greenwood and Anderson, we might just
as we'll go out of business, unless we set
to building the road TO Verdery at once.

= The scourge that is now killing so
many people in Virginia, passed through
Franklin County then, now Banks, In
1854 or 1855. The physicians did not
understand the disease, and all efforts to
check it proved failure. We recolect
one old gentlemen living on the Hudson
river, who lost five grand children and
about twenty negroes. He had two
graudsons dead in the house at the same
time. Nothing that the physicians could
do would stop it, and it seemed that the
plantation would soon be depopulated,
until DR.. Doster, of Jefferson, was sent
for. and he prepared medicine that
soon stopped the dreadful scourge.-
