Mr.. S. Chaplin broke ground for the
erection of new store building this
week. Success to him.
The Town Council is now having
the streets and vacant lots cleared OF
weeds. a good move in the right
direction.
Recent rains have greatly retarded
farming operations, grass in abrln-
dance, but the farmers are now busy
cleaning their crops. Corn crops fine,
with prospect of an abundant yield,
cotton very poor.
Mrs. J. +. Arthur, of this place, who
has been very i'll for several weeks.
quietly passed away to her heavenly
reward on the night of the I'd instant.
The friends and relatives of this vener-
able lady have the sincere coincidence
of the entire community.
Welearn that Mr.. J. Randy Paulling,
near this place, contemplates leaving
here in q few weeks to seek 4 home in
the 'far West" 1t bodies no good to
the future of the State to have so many
of her most promising young men to
tear themselves away from her bosom
and seek homes elsewhere. We wish
Mr.. Paulling success. :.
The juvenile base ball clubs of Fort
Motto and st. Matthews played the
second of a series of games at this
place Friday evening last, resulting in
score of 81 to 10 in favor Of St..
Matthews. The Fort Motto boys can
not be praised too much for their man
" and urbane deportment while here.
Mr.. \. T. Darby, Of Fort Motto, UNI
pired the game with laudable discre-
tion and fairness. Come again boys,
we wish you better success another
time.

ments of Office" las no following here.
The farmers are willing for the disciples
of IEsculapius and Blackstone to have
a showing, all'however, are in favor Of
new deal and insist on the primary
plan as the most effectual one in secur-
ing that deal. We propose to con1ine
and settle all our differences within

not look this way for an opening to
regain place and power to enjoy the
five years more of good stealing.

TIIE SUCCESSFUL CAREER OF
Il the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Asso-
ciation is marvellous in the annals Of life
insurance enterprise. Its name has be-
come tower of strength, and has been
we'll earned by the untiring devotion OF
President Harper and his associates. Its
astonishing prosperity has provoked attacks
which are best repelled by frank and full
exhibit of its greatly increasing line OF
business. Up to July !, 1885, this shows q
gain of no less than S13 214, $50 over that
of the corresponding period last year.
In June alone its mortuary receipts eX-
ceeded $3.50, 900, of which over $50, 900 went
into the Reserve Fund-that triple buttIess
upon which the association justly prides
itself. This reserve now amounts to S425,-
900, and is employed for three purposes
only-to pay death claims, if any should
occur in excess of the American Experience
Mortality Tables; to make good any poss'
ible deficiency in the Death Fund Account,
and to be apportioned among those who
have been members of the Association hf-
teen years, etc. AS the first and second
contingencies named are not likely to arise,
the third object is the one upon which the
fund is practically expended. 1t is full Of
other good points, among which may be
than $50, 900 for carrying on the whole work
of the vast institution-and payments to
widews and orphans at the rate of over
$4,000 cash cash day.-From the old and
conservative New York Daily Journal OF
Commerce, July 10, 1885,.
With the Annual Report of the above
Company is attached large number Of
Death claims paid from February 1857 to
February 1St 1886, representing all parts. OF
the Union, amounting to 81 ,6S5, ,2o0.0 from,

A Public Trust Wisely Administered.

The treasury statement for the first
fiscal year Of the Democratic Admins
tration will afford the toothless opposi-
ton organs fine nut to humble for
some months. The national debt has
been decreased during the year by
$44, ,612,2SG. The cash in the treasury
has been increased, IN the same tlme'by
S5l, ,4S5,479. The country is therefore
s96,O97, ,765 better Oft, financially speak
ing on these two accounts alone, than
it Was year ago. The amount Of gold
and silver in hand, moreover, has been
increased by sG4.S03, ,34l, and thirteen
millions Of silver dollars have been added
to the circulation. In spite OF the hard
times, it is thus shown, the Democratic
Administration has not only paid off
nearly fifty millions of the public debt,
but has so managed the finances of the
country as to enable the treasury to meet
any reasonable demand that may be
made upon it. The credit for this ad-
mirable showing is. of course, due to
Mr.. Mannlng's sound .'.'i@nent and
sagacty in the managen-". of his great
public trust, and to the Presidents
wisdom in selecting so capable an officer
to carry out his views in this department
Of the administration. It is peculiarly
gratifying to be informed: at the same
time, that Mr.. Manning's health has so
greatly improved as TO give promise
that he will soon be able to resume tic
discharge Of his important duties, so that
the President will continue to have the
benefit of the advice of his faithful
friend and wise counsellor throughout
his present term, at least.-Ncws and

MAXEY's, GA, January, 1886.
For twelve or fourteen years have been
a great sufferer from a terrible form OF
blood poison which ran into a secondary,
and finally it was pronounced q tertiary
form. My head, face and shoulders be.
came almost mass of corruption, and
finally the disease commenced eating away
my skull bones. became so horribly re-
pulsive that for three years absolutely re-
fused to let people see me. fused large
quantities of most noted blood remedies and
applied to nearly all physicians near me,
but my condition continued to grow worse,
and all said that must surely die. My
bones became the seat of cXcruclated aches
and pains; my nights were passed in misery;
I was reduced in flesh and strength; my
kidneys were terribly dcranged, and life
became burden to me.

burned and then restored. My case. was

When the resources of Nature have

Primary or Convention.

EDISTo TOWNSHIP, July 2nd, 1886.
Editor Times and Democrat:
We have been expecting that some Of
our leading men would come out and
express themselves on the question us
to whether we should have the conven-
tion or primary system in this county.
We think it an important question, and
that we should not change to the pri-
mary system merely for Il change. 1t
should be thoroughly understood and
discussed by our people before voted
upon. I'll admit our last County Con-
vention, to say the least of it, was dis
agreeable, but the out come was good.
We got good ticket. Our county will
compare favorably with any county in
the State as to officers, and, to advan-
tage, when compared with some that
nominated their ticket by the primary
system. We are opposed to the primary
system in this section, or at least all
who have expressed themselves in my
hearing are, but in favor OF reducing
the delegates to one to every twenty
five voters. That will make the body
of delegates half as large as formerly,
therefore, more easily controlled. There
are great many voters in Our County,
who are Indifferent to politics, and by
the primary system those who live in
the enthusiastic sections will be the
best represented, if l understand the
system. Would that be fair to those
who do work hard for the Democratic
party, but happen to live in a luke
warm section? l do not think the
primary system will work to advan-
tage in county where it is all we can
do to get all the voters out once in two
years to cast their votes. Let us hear
the opinions of others on the subject.
We are in favor of 4 farmers conven-
tion to protect ourselves against eX-
tortioners, to control labor, &C., but do
not indorsc Mr.. rillman in all of his
plans. VOTER.

MURDER IN FAIRFIELD.
A White Man Assassinated by Negro
Who Makes His Escape.

WINNsBoRo, S. c., May o.
Information has just been received here
of willful and deliberate murder which
was committed at Dawkin's, a. small
station on the Spartanburg Railroad, IN
this County, on last Thursday. Eli
Free, a white man. was stabbed through
the heart by Jim Johnson, colored.
The victim died in a few minutes and
in the excitement of the moment the
murderer was PERMITTED to escape.
The decd was without any provoca-
ton at the time. Free was talking
with few friends, and had lntlmation
that the negro was about to make an
attack on him. The murder is the out
come of former difficulty. In an alter
cation last November johnson was shot
by Free and severely wounded. For
this the latter was indicted, tried and
acquitted here at the last term Of Court.
The murderer is still at large. He is a
mulatto, ginger cake color, about five
feet ten inches tall, weighs about one
hundred and sixty pounds, walks ather
stiff and slowly, has few whiskers on
the side of his face and small lump or
mark on the right eye, speaks rather
deliberately, and seems to have a slight
impediment IN his voice.-Columbia

Arsenic Cookies for Her Husband.

NEILLsvILLE, Wis, May 49,
Farmer Henry Wright died suddenly a
few days ago. The symptoms were
those of arsenical poisoning. Now his
wife admits that she poisoned him.
Daniel Allen, wealthy farmer living
near the Wrights, whose wife is an lnva-
lid, Mrs. Wright alleges, seduced her
and told her to poison her husband and
he would poison his wife, and after a
suitable time they would be married.
Some time ago Allen went to Milwaukee,
Mrs. Wright says, and procured the
arsenic. About two weeks before the
husband died she made some cookies,
in two Of which she put the arsenic, and
her husband ate them. In five minutes
he was taken very sick and vomited the
cookies up. He asked bis wife to make
him a dose of peppermint to settle his
stomach. Allen was present and told
her she had given him too large a dose
and she ought to put little in the pep
permint. She refused. She alleges
that Allen then gave her husband little
doses, which in time killed him. Allen
was arrested. He denies the story.

deaths Among Rich and Poor.

For twenty-three years I have been
watching the peculiarities of my busi-
ness, and I can say this: The rich are
more liable to die in winter, during some
cold snaps, and the poor in summer,
when the excessive heats are prevalent.
don't know how to account for it ex-
cept that, perhaps, the rich suffer most
because of exposure to the cold after
coming from their warm houses, and the
poor die in the very hot weather because
of the exhaustion resulting from the
necessity of following their arduous oc-
cupations when other people can rest in
the shade.-J. Kelly, Undertaken.
