Beware of Mercury and Potash.

Mercury is more destructive to human
health and life than war, pestilence and
famine combined. So said distinguished
writer many years ago, and it is as true
to-day as then. The poor victim of
Blood Disease is drugged with Mercury
to cure the malady, and then dosed with
Iodides to cure him of the Mercurial
Poisoning; but instead of any relief, the
first breaks down his general health and
makes him a cripple, and the other iuins
his digestive organs. Mercury and Pot
ash are dangerous even when admins.
tered to directions and under the eye of
q good physician, and when put up in
nostrums, often by incompetent persons,
are apt to produce evil consequences. Be
careful Of these poisonous mixtures or
you may regret it. Swift's Specific is en-
tirely vegetable preparation, and should
not be contounded with the various imi-
tations, non secret humbugs, "Succus AL
terans," etc., all Of which either contain
Mercury and Potash, or are composed Of
old remedies which have long since been
discarded as of no value in the treatment
of Blood Diseases, and none Of them con-
tain single article which enters into the
composition of Swift's Specific. There is
only one swift's Specific (s. $. 81 and
there is nothing in the world like it. BE
sure to get the genuine.

Tile Charleston Collcctorship.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Messrs. F.
w. Wagener, j. w. Hinson and Edward
Willis, of Charleston, called on the
President this morning by special ap-
pointment, the President making an ex.
ception in this instance to his regular
rule of declining to receive callers on
Saturday. Congressman Dibble was also
present, and made the presentations to
the President. After a full and free dis.
cussion of the collectorship question
Capt. Wagner stated that the committee
brought with them q Reimbursement of
Mr.. Mowry by prominent business men
of Charleston as q testimonial of their
confidence in his integrity, fitness and
ability to fill acceptably the Office Of col
lector, because certain unfounded charges
had been preferred against him. Capt.
WAGNER expressed q hope that the Pres
ident would give full consideration to the
papers on file in Mr.. Mowry's behalf, as
it had been stated that Mowry had no
commercial backing. The petition which
the committee brought with them, he
said, was purely mercantile one, which
had been prepared and signed in conse-
quence of communication which re-
Gently appeared IN the Nea0s and Courier
antagonistic to Mr.. Mowry, claiming
that he was supported by politicians
alone, and at the request of the signers
of the petition committee was detailed
to present the document to the President
and ask him to consider it. Col. Hin.
son and Major Willis endorsed the views
expressed by Capt. Wagner, and they
also urged the appointment of Mr.
Mowry from business standpoint.
The President is said to have evinced
much interest in the marks made by
the committee and promised to give the
subject careful attention. His genial
and cordial manner during the interview
was highly appreciated by the commit
tee, and on parting he remarked good
natusedly: "Well, gentlemen, l am
very glad to have met you this morning
and see that this is another case where
I will have to be the referee"

bottles Of Swift's Specific, and after using
about six bottles am entirely FREQ from

THE ANDERSON POST OFFICE.

The Washington correspondent of tn

May 22nd, says: IL
/ "The commission of Mrs. Grace q

cials predict the selection of Mr.. Todd
probably before this reaches the readers
Of the Neaus and Courier" !" s..
Commenting on this article, the
Greenvils Ns,as says: s., s..
& TheI, story comes from Whashington
that Congressman D. Wyatt Aiken is
pushing "a scheme to remove Mrs. Coch-
ran from the. Anderson postofice and
have Mr.. Todd, of the Anderson Journal,
put in her place. If there isaa. man in
this State who deserve favor from the
Democratic party; it is Mrs. Cochrsn's
husband. He defed his own party when
there was danger in it, came to our aid
when we needed aid and did service that
no other man could do. The appoint.
ment of Editor Todd will not do either
Congressman Aiken or Editor Todd any
good. 1t is too much like Georgia poll
tics to suit this State. Welbelieveif. orr
friend Of the journal accepts the place
he will live to agree with us. We do
not wish to be understood as questioning
his integrity, bat no editor can maintain
the independence necessary for the prop.
er conduct of his business while he owes
public men for fayQss or has any cause to
fear them. And no place or salary can
repay a Journalist for the loss of his
freedom of mind, tongue and pen. We
would rather be hungry with the priv.
lege of "cussing" or, commencing as ne
like than to be fat and hampered."
Our contemporary, the Ne.us, fell into
a mistake in these remarks, which ithast-
ened to correct in the following manner
on the next day:
IVA have wronged, abused, slandered,
villifed and otherwise injured and gener-
ally maltreated Nour neighbor and good
friend Todd Of the Anderson Journal.
We are informed that he is not the man
who, is to- get the Anderson postof6ce if
Congressman Aiken's wishes are consult
ed. Tits another and more appropriate,
though We dare say 8 less handsome and
gifted Todd who is the fortunate man.
IF Editor Todd had been the prospective
appointee what We said on Sunday morn.
ing would have been seminently wise,
proper and ft and would go. Asi 1t is,
however, the premise was wrong, andthe
proposition therefore tumbles into atom

brother Todd that he will not be a post.

more than in 1883.
Stock in the United States ports is
32, SOP bales less than last year, and 66,-
759 bales less than in 1883.
The total visible supply of cotton in
the world is 910, 1894 bales less than last
year, and 649 959 bales less than in 1883.
Were general business in normal or
usual condition cotton, with its position
80 strong, as shown above, would natu-
rally be higher. But various causes have
prevented It from feeling the influence of
its own exceptional situation. Chief
among these causes, and the one dating
farthest back, has bsen the long.felt and
much harped upon dullness in trade;
hardly secondary to this in its effect upon
prices has for some months past been the
| fear that England was about to become
involved in war with Russia. Happily,
this great war.cloud that threatened
Europe has blown over, and signs of i'm.
proving trade are daily becoming more
apparent. Only yesterday 10000 pack
ages of cotton goods-the greatest num-
Der ever offered at a single sale-were
| sold at public auction in New York at
highest factory prices.
With returning activity in manufac-
tured goods, with peace seemingly assur-
ed and with cotton standing again on its
own merits, the outlook for planters and
merchants is more cheerful than it has
been for many months.
| Latest accounts from the East India
crop are to the effect that it is backward.
In some districts the yield is turning
out disappointing small, in others it is
| only three.fourths of last years, and in
others again it is reported as being very
short, the shortage likely to increase as
the season advances.
At the opening of the planting season
in our own country the ground was in
unusually fine condition, owing to the
hard frosts of the past Winter. Plant.
ing was satisfactorily completed, without
decided increase in the acreage devoted
to cotton, and the growing crop. though
late, has up to this time progressed favor
ably. But no prediction as to the ulti'
mate out-turn of cotton crop can be
made at this early date.

chants of New York, who are acknowl-

the cotton trade, have issued the follow.
ing circular, which will be of interest to
the people of the cotton. producing
States:
New YORK, May 16, 1885.
The cotton year is so far advanced that
the size of the crop now coming to mar.
ket can be closely arrived at; it will not
vary materially from 100000 bales.
This much being established, it is appa-
rent that the supply of cotton between
now and the incoming of the new crop
will at no time be large, and that with
any revival in trade it will be inadequate
for the requirements of the world, unless
spinners' takings should be checked by
the usual result of light supplies, advance
in price.
The position of cotton, both in price
and supply, is exceptionally favorable
now as compared with former years:

Tbs facts about the Morgan appoint
msnt, al given BY Capt. Dawson, seem to
sussto diseat the matter Of the feature
which, to our mind, :was the most objec.
tionable part Of the appointment. AS
swas have, said heretofore, while We do not
think It good policy to appoint Repnbli-
cans TO represents 8 Democratic admins
tration abroad, yet if Mr.. Morgan was q;
SRspEblican and the President, knowing.
that isct, aan ft to make the appoints
1aenk, ne cannot perceive any reason for
q great public clamor about it: Capt.
Dawson, however. asserts distinctly that
MAJ. Morgan j, ,tand always has been, q
Democrat, although he wrote pamphlet
endorsing q portion Of the record Of the.
Republican nominee for President. He
admits that he. asked Morgan's appoints
ment as 8 personal favor, because he.
was shia brother-in.law, and we cannot
see that there. .is any reason for public
indignation. on that score. Itis some.
thing THAT is done often in politics,
without even censure, and we can see no
reason 70 make Capt. Dawson an excep-
ton from the rule At this very time
5CoL Inglesby, ,.of Charleston;;is in Wash.
sington with Col Walker, his brother.in-
Law, urging his appointment as Collector.
of the Port Of Charleston, which four; or
tfvejothsr citizens of this State.want, and
yet mo one blames him for. his advocacy
of Col. Walkers claims. We think it
creditable to him to perform, to the best
ofshis ability, such friendly Office as he
may be able for.one connected 50 closely
to- hin, in whom he has confidence.
Judge, Bacon, Senator Buffers brother.
in-law, has been given a mission; and diso
far from producing dissatisfaction the
appointment has been commended
Throughout the State. We make these
personaL mentions of affairs now trans
piring in order to show that thereiis no
reason or, excuse for the attack upon
Capt. Dawson for doing a similar service
for Mai. Morgan in the matter of the
consnlship at Melbourne where there was
no otter applicant from this State. The
other point upon which so much criticism
has been: based was the allegation that
Msj.sMorgan was citizen of New York,
though accredited to South Carolina.
Fsom the start, this struck us as the
vital question in the appointment, and
we had no hesitation in condemning the
appointment, for. NE had seen it stated
that Mai. Morgan was q voter in New
York. Capt. Dawson's statement shows
that he claimed citizenship here, though
he had been absent for some time, during
which he had never claimed citizenship
anywhere else. This seems TO US the end
of this question. There vas no other
applicant from this State for the position,
and though we would have preferred q
different appointment, there was no
reason, it seems to us, why there should
be public indignation about Maj. Nor
gan's success. The government will
doubtless be efficiently represented, and
the people will never see any difference
between the government with Morgan
at Melbourne and the government with
any other competent official there.
