Delicate Women.

have been using for month or two in
my household Swift's Specific, the greater
portion of it having been consumed by
the female portion Of my family, and
with the happiest results. It acted like q
charm on my wife. who had been in bad
health for long time, and for whom
had paid hundreds of dollars for doctors
and medicine 1t began to build her up
from the first dose. Another female
member Of my family took it with equal
ly satisfactory results. 1t is certainly the
best tonic for delicate ladies that l have
ever used, and have tried them all. I
have no doubt that want of exercise. close
confinement in poorly ventilated houses,
sewer gas poison and malarial poison Of
ten produce sickness among our wives,
daughters and sisters, and believe Switt's
Specific is the remedy for all this sort of
blood poisoning. I know many of the
best families OF this county are using it
for this purpose and have never known
or heard Of any failure to give entire sat
isfaction. I have known the remedy a
long time. know it to be entirely vege-
table, and the best tonic and alternative,
especially for females.

Secret Legislation.
The Charleston correspondent of the

The Charleston correspondent of the
News end Courier says:
occasionally protest is heard against
the secret sessions of the Senate as con-
trary to the American way of transact
ing public business. The sessions, while
held with closed doors, are not by any
means secret, as generally all matters of
Importance discussed in them find their
way into the newspapers. When the
Senate is performing its executive func-
ton of considering nominations by the
President it is claimed they have as much
right to secrecy as the President in his
council chamber. Still the objectors
urge that if the Senate had to
discuss and vote upon these mat
tiers openly, there would be less like.
lihood of Senators wreaklng their per-
sonal spite upon unlucky nominees. If
a Senator could not give good reason
before the country for his opposition to
a nomination, he would be under a
wholesome restraint if his conduct was
constantly open to scrutiny and criticism.

"Iu the early days of Congress, all

pioneer of the corps of reporters and

National MtelHgencer, who had much
trouble to overcome the prejudices of the
digniied Representatives. Step by step.

A Revolution in Cotton Gins.

NEW ORLEANS. February lS.-The
Mardi Gras celebrations in the city being
over the attendance at the Exposition to-
day was immense. The committee ap-
pointed by the National Cotton Planters
Convention to examine and report upon
the merits of the Mason cotton gin cyl.
inder, which is claimed to be superior in
every way to the process of ginning cot
ton by saws and ribs, made thorough
examination of the machine to-day, and,
in consequence of the adjournment of the
Convention, will forward their report to
Commissioner Genera! Morehead, and
will publish it in the April number Of
the Cotton Planters Journal.
The committee saw several grades of
cotton ginned, and selected samples / I
each. The opinion of the committee in
substance ia that the Mason gin cylinder
is uuquestionably destined very speedily
to supercede entirely the use of saws and
ribs, that its capacity is considerably
greater, that it turns out finer samples
free from gin cut, that it gins hulls and
trashy cotton equally as we'll if not
better than the costly huller gins, that it
runs with considerably less power, that
it is free from danger to the operator, aud
that from the cheapness and simplicity
of replacing the cylinders it is calcula.
ted to reyolutionize cotton culture aud
cotton preparation.
The committee is composed of practi.
cal ginners, farmers, cotton planters and
cotton brokers, Mr. D. NJ. Russell, Of
jamestown, Coaboma County, Mississip,
pi, being the chairman. The appoint.
ment of this committee, to say nothing
of its highly fayorable report, is dis.
tinguished compliment to South Caro-
lima invention mot accorded to any other
machine" among the thousands of won.
derful inventions now on exhibition at
the Exposition from all parts Of the
world.
To-day the announcement was made
that the entries of cotton for competition
in the department of agriculture will
close on Tuesday, February 24.-Dis-

General Debility.

For several years past my wife's health
has been exceedingly feeble-a general
break down of the nervous system. She
vas greatly reduced in flesh. No remedy
seemed to do her any good. In the
Spring of 1883 l induced her to try Swift's
Specific. The first bottle gave her hope
and twenty bottles produced wonderful
results. She gained thirty pounds in
flesh aud it renovated her whole system.
It is certainly the greatest tonic in the
world. T. j. HIGGINS.

one Of the Republican Governors of
South Carolina under Reconstruction,
appeared for sentence. He was charged

A Card,

Mr.. EDITOR: I see in your paper OF
the 18th inst. an article signed "Jubilo," !"
in which the writer goes beyond the
verge of legitimate criticism to make a
personal attack upon myself in connec-
ton with the memorable campaign of
1876. took an active part in that can
va.s in helping to relieve South Carolina
from Radical misgovernment, as many
persons will no doubt remember. l
married in this city in 1853, and have
lived in this place part of the time
since 1859. My son removed to my
place in Georgia in III, and finding my
presence there was not SO much needed
as before, l became citizen of this
State. The motive he assigns me for
becoming a citizen is malicious, and
conspicuously untrue. l have thought
it best to make this reply to an article in
which the writer seems so ignorant OF
what is duo from one man to another.
