All of the old-timers say that the
storm is the worst since 1875, but 1869
was terror for water. We expect to
receive reports as to the amount of
damage done in the upper and lower
country as soon as the telegraph line is
repaired.

Belt creek, when on boom, is the
worst of all streams in this section, and
it was reported very high yesterday 1t
was feared for time that the bridge at
Peck & Lacy's would be taken away,
but as the water has reached its highest
and is now slowly receding, the danger
is probably past The report in circula~

had been carried away is without foun-

a Note Of Warning to Suffering Human
itv.


We feel that we would be wanting in
the duty we owe to suffering humanity
if we did not sound note of warning in
regard to the use of Mercury and other
poisonous minerals in the treatment OF
Blood and Skin Diseases. If the reader
could see the horrible suffering, the awful
wrecks of human health and happiness,
shown by our correspondence with those
who have been dosed with these mineral
poisons, he would shudder with horror.
Arsenic, Mercury, Antimony, and Iodide
of Potassium are some of the remedies
most ordinarily used for these diseases,
and they are all poison. Do not take
these poisons. They might dry up your
disease for few days, and with it you
will have Mercurial Rheumatism, which
may bring you years of torture. The
Mercury seems to sink into the bones,
and the Potash drives the Poison into the
system, only to lurk there and attack the
tender organs of the body, as the lungs,
the throat, the nasal organs and stomach.
Hundreds of people have been made
deaf, and great many blind, by the use
of Mercury and Potash. Beware of Mer-
curry and Potash Mixtures gotten mp in
imitation Of our Specific. A few grains
of sugar of lead dropped into a glass of
these limitations will cause the poisonous
drugs to fall to the bottom, and show the
danger of using them. Swift's Specific is
entirely vegetable, and is the best tonic
for delicate ladies and children and old
people in the world.

PLAIN QUESTIONS.

Mythical idoas are tanning the public
brow with the breath of prejudice, ignor-
ance and humbuggery. Have you the
remotest idea that your scrofula was
created by the use ofpotash and mercury?
No matter what the cause, B. B. B. is
the peer Of all other remedies. Do you
presume that your troublesome catarrh is
the result Of mineral poisoning? B. B.
B. is the quickest remedy. Are your
chronic ulcers and boils and sores the re-.
suit of potash aud mercury? Medical
gentlemen will not tell you so, but B. B.
B. is the only sovereign remedy. We're
your terrible kidney troubles created by
mineral poisoning? Not a bit Of it, but
B. B. B. has proven to be reliable rem
edy. Are your skin diseases, your eczema
dry letter, etc.., the effect of too much
potash and mercury? The medical pro-
fession are the best judges, and they say
nay, but B. B. B. makes more pronounced
cures than all other preparations COM
bined.

On last Monday, Allen Gaillard, color
ed, and SIX children of Jim Agnew, also
colored, residing on the plantation of
Mr.. A. F. Cromer, in Broadway Town
ship, were taken violently i'll, and one OF
the children-a boy about six years old
died. A physician was sent for, and as
soon as he arrived he suspicioned that the
parties had been poisoned. He succeed.
ed in saving the lives of the man and five
children. Coroner Nance was notified Of
the death of the child and Immediately
went to Mr.. Cromer's for the purpose of
holding an inquest. A Jury was empan-
seled, and after hearing the evidence of
several witnesses and that Of Drs. J. G.
Harris and w. b. Todd, who madea post
nsortensi examination sof the deceased, q.
verdict was rendered that the child came
to its death BY some kind Of poison, not
ascertailed; administers. in. bread: and
that: the person OF. persons administering
tie same are nnknow1n IT The stse scsao has
caused considerable excitement among
Tie people Of that section. % it's T believed
that thez poison was intended only for
Allen sGaillard; as thevohiidren did not
.lixe, with. him, but had accidentally gone
TO his houseewiere they ate. some ofthe-
bread. The flour. y from which the bread
was made, was ground at Pelzer, and was
being eaten not only by the negroes, but
also by Mr.. Cromer's family. Gailliard
and Agnew have been on unfriendly
terms for some time, and it is believed by
many that Agnew placed the poison in
Gaillaird's flour, Or got some one else to
do it, though no proof was adduced to that
effect. Every effort should be made to
ferret the circumstances cut.
