Cheap Quinine by Free-Trade

The Philadelphia RerortS reports
that the combination Of American
and European manufacturers Of quln-
inc which has heretofore controlled the
entire market of the world, has gone
to pieces, and that there has been a
great reduction in the price OF the
drug. A prominent wholesale drug
dealer in Philadelphia says that the
effect Of the tumble Will be 10 re
duce the price of pills about 10 or IS
cents per dozen" About the lst OF
January European quinine was quoted
at 81 G5 per ounce and American
ouiuine at Sl.85 per ounce. During
the first three daya Of last week lC.-
600 ounces were sold in New York
alone. The agents OF the foreign
manufacturers on Saturday last Of
fered to deliver future orders at
SLOT! per ounce. Buyers freely OF.
fered $l.O5 per ounce. American

they claim that they cannot sell al

knew'something OF the Heath, called
on him and learned the facss Of the
case. The girl was bitten exactly
nine months ago by a dog which show
ed every symptom OF hydrophobia'
and both the girl and her parents
were in constant dread that she might
at ally time be taken with the terrible
ualaly, more especially at some
specified period after having been
bitten-nine days, weeks or months.
She was taken sick about week ago
and as she had been particularly fear
ing this time, she at once concluded
that her trouble was that awful mala-
dy Lydropnobis. She grew rapidly
worse and at the sight Oh wafer wac
thrown into The most terrible convu!-
aions. She would ask for water, and
When brought to her would grasp the
tumble, look at the water, then daah
it from her and fall back in spasms.
Dr.. Wilcox saw the girl and endeav
ored to give her some soothing dose,
which she tried to swallow, but failed
her throat being as dry as parchment.
She fingered in this terrible condition,
suffering great agony, until Friday
afternoon when she became uncon.
scious and shortly afterwards died.
The girl in her suffering was some
times very much excited, but offered
no personal injury to any one. The
dog that bit her had been running
loose, exhibing all the rabid symp
toms of hydrophobia, This is tie
first case OF the kind occurring i'll Au.
gusta for FIVE years and clear case
Of hydrophobia. The girl was for
several days without water and must
have suffered excruciating agony.
She was an intelligent young woman
and her parents are sensible and M

Why Ii Is So.

There seems to be complaint Of
short rations in certain sections Of the
State. This should surprise no one.
1t is obliged to be the case when we
raise very little else than cotton.
Cotton and the Lien Law are running
our State. We make this prediction /:
That .just so long as the Lien Lor
remains on our statute Joo&S, Just 80
Iona mN there be scarcity Of prori.
siions IN the State" Repeal it tand
'rc wiU hare an abundance oi corn,
rhtni, oats oud mat"
There is no money tor the farmer
at the present price OF cotton, and in
order 10 make farming pay, supplies
for both man and beast must be raised
at home. To repeal the Lien Law to
% into effect Immediately would be
hard on numbers of farmers, and
time should be allowed them to get
Themselves in better ccnditior to
meet the great change. The House
of Representatives had the backbone
to repeal the law last winter but the
Senate backed down and refused to
sustain the House. Members Of the
Legislature claim that if you repeal
the Lien Law, you take away from
the farmer his basis Of credit. This
is done to catch the popular vote, no
doubt. We take the position that no
man can show that this law is of any
benefit to the farmers OF the State.
the people Of Abbeville county should
ascertain the sentiments Of every
candidate for legislative honors, be-
fore casting their votes for any Of
them. Itis decidedly to the interest OF
the farmer to have this law repealed
and he will be working against bis
own interest if he votes for men who
will not work for i's repeal.- -So1udo

i" Coed Morning! MIR. Melton'
A Few Parting Kicks for the unites
States District Attorney.
6ro,o the Bny1,,rell SeattneE,

FROM me l1H NWCtL toCfe'SsSes
Every South Carolinian who knosas
Sam Melton, and all who have head
or read anything of his double, bseks
action mode of standing aside. jurors,
will not believe, as he says, thatsa
diecontinuance of the political cases
is the result of the Government'ssn.
ability to convict with South Carolina
iuries. The Governments is disgusted
with Melton-.that's the idea, and IN
all probability has given him the
choice Of sliding down and out by
the slickest route. What makes it
certain that Melton never desired
conviction on substantial evidence
was the complexion Of the juriesl he
eudeavored to procure. Good morn
ing! Mr.. Melton.
From the KcrShaW Gazette.
Melton, with quite flourish Of
trumpets and a would be dramatic
posse, made the motion prefaeing it
with a long winded speech. He seem
ed to feel at last that he was IN a bad
box, and seeks to take upon himself
the credit Of stopping them, at the
same time Of throwing the blame Of
inaugurating them upon his chief,
the Attorney General. The good
people of the State do not feel under
any special obligation to either OF
them for the cessation Of persecution,
and do not care which of the two
begun them. They have felt the
iron heel of despotism, and it is a re-
Lief to know that haltis cried.
From the anderson btellgencer.
No one blames MIR. Melton for pros
ecutipg oaaea which were sent up to
the court. Even il they were trivial
lie had the right to have them passed
on by the court, but every right
minded man is obliged to condemn
in unmea,ured terms his efforts to
pack juriee for the purpose Of secur-
ing partisan verdictH upon partisan
and in many instances pepured testi-
rnony. Il is a discredit to his repu.
tation to have prostituted his abili.
ties to 30 base purpose, and it will
require years Of proper conduct for
him to eiface it.
From, the Chester Reporter.
Why didn't Mr.. Melton exercise
his discretion at the first? He saw
the end from the beginning. BE was
we'll aware that these cases had no
foundation in truth; that they were
trumped mp in the interest of de-
feated candidates, or to crafty per,
sonal ggudgeE. -
