Gentlemen-In 1886 I contracted
blood poison, and at once sought
physician, who treated me for several
months BY his advice I went to
Crab Orchard Springs, Ky, where
his course Of treatment was carefully
observed. I recovered, as I thought,
but the next spring pimples began to
appear on my face and body. These
gradually increased to sores and run
ming ulcers. I was advised to try S:
S. s., and Immediately after taking it
I commenced to improve, slowly at
first, but more rapidly afterwards,
and soon nothing remained to tell of
my trouble. My blood is now
thoroughly cleansed, and my system
free from faint, and I owe my present
condition. perfect cure-to your
medicine. I cheerfully give this
statement that others who suffered as
I have may reap the same benefit.

Francis Mari0n'S Grave.

Some weeks ago the Manning TINES pub
lished paragraph, the spirit OF which is
certainly commendable, and worthy Of EN-
ulation, but which contains a serious error
which should not be allowed to go uncor-
recscd.
The error to be noted is the statement
that Marions grave is in GEORGETOWN coun-
tv, whereas, as a matter of fact, his ashes
lie at Belle Isle plantation, st. Stephen $
Parish, Berkeley How the writer of the
above could have been led into this error is
ine1plicable.
One of the early issues of the Budget in
1887 contained some very interesting and
valuable information concerning the condi-
ton OF General Marion's grave Which at
this time will bear republication.
The facts are that about three years ago
duringa storm massive susar-berry tree
was blown across the grave of the Swamp
Fox, and tha. Of Mrs Marion which ad-
Joins his, and the stone slab over the Cen
erals grave was completely shattered.
There was considerable interest expressed
at the time, and q country paper, possibly
with more patriotism than inhUence and
dollars, proposed to raise fund with
which to replace the slab and put tac graves
in good condition. y few dollars We're sent
in, but interest lansuished, and nothing
more has ever been done toward the consuul-
nation Of this most iaudable object.
It is further stated that the negroes, the
only present occupants OF Belle Isle plantis-
ton, have cut up the sugar-berry tree for
f-ewood, aud have carried away fragments
of the shattered slab which are now doing
service us oven backs IL numerous negro
novels around the countryside.
Unless something is done to reclaim the
graves OF the famous old Revolutionary he
70 and his wife from the decay and ruin in-
to which they are rapidly falling, it will
not be long before they will be in the same
condition Us the grave OF the Old patriot,

Tho Grand Jury made their presentment
yesterday afternoon abont four o'clock. We
wish to have something to say about it, or
parts of it, next week. The following is
the presentment:
After the above was read the Judge said
that there was nothing in the conduct of
either Treasurer H. H. Higgins or of Aud
itor J. E. Scott, as reported by the May pre-
sentiment of the Grand Jury, to which any
criminal action or intent could be attach
Ell. With reference to the charges against
the Treasurer the Grand Jury were in er-
ror; and with reference to the Auditor, the
law did not attach criminal action to care
less handling Of books. The rules agains
both officers were consequently dismissed.
The Judge stated that proper attention
would be paid to the recommendations OF
the Grand Jury.

Caantv the power tc issue bends 20 the
amount Of seven thousand dollars. bearing
interest ut q rate not exceeding eight per
cent. per annuU. for the purpose OF placing
the finances of the county on cash basis.
And that for the purpose Of paying prlncl-
pal and interest ON these bonds, an annual
lew of one luill on I'll taxable property OF
the county be made until said principal and
interest is paid. Bv tins means, IN about
five wears time our county would he placed
on a cash baSiS. The Grand Jury urge
upon the mem bers of the Legislature to ''se
their bast efforts to get this law passed at
the next session Of the Legislature. Tie
value of county paper varies from fifty to
ninety per cent. and such q law would easl-
" place our tnauces on 4 cash and business
like basis.

lished in this county. We further recon-
mend that is inmates be then boarded out
among their friends as we are satisfied that
several hundred dollars would thus annu-
ally be saved the county, and that the IN
mates would be better cared for, and better
satisfied to receive from two to five dollars
month per capita. than as they are now
treated.
The Grand Jury have received numerous
complaints that the roads are in a bad con-
dition.
after carefully examining the records in
the offices of the Auditor and of the Clerk
of Court, we find that willie the nominal
value of taxable property returned by the
hondsmen of County Treasurer II. II.
Higgins is S22,S36, yet the homestead ex-
emption and other encumbe frances on the
property of these bondsmen, amounting to
ST., ,996.SS, will reduce its value to SS S39.l2,
or less than half the amount required by
law. We, therefore, recommend an lmme-
diatc suspension of the collection OF taxes
by Treasurer Huygins until his bond is
made sufficient.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

advance in popular sentiment upon
"A question that has been actively
agitated for fifty years. II is yerl
certain, however, in the states
where the best results have been Of
tanned, it has not been through sep
arate party action. In PennsylvsI
mia, for instance, where the tOmper
ance people have conspicnously ar
raigned themselves against the Re-
publican party, and have done al
they could to secure its defeat 10
state and national contests, the
drinking habit has greatly declined
There are not half SO many SALOONS
as there used to be, and, strange
to say, those that remain do far less
business than they did when com
petition was active.
In some counties in PennsylvsI
mia there are no licensed drinKlngI
houses at all; In others the salOoni
have been cut down to two or three
in the principal towns, and nun
Der Of the best hotels are now being
run without q bar, not because ths
were refused license, bot
because they did not apply for "
cense. They prefer to get along
without imposing on themselves, the
restrictions and penalties OF a string
ent license law. It has been abundi
antly demonstrated that hotel can
be maintained without selling U
quoT. This used to be the excuse
for assOciating the business and en-
tertaining the public with that oI
selling intoxicating liquors, nancy
that the one could not be made %
pay without the other; but expeI1
fences OF many excellent landlOrds
have been to the contrary.
The Supreme Court OF PennsylVs
mia has quite recently settled qnesI
ton which has for a long time DIS
turbed the lower courts. and upO9
which different judges have helf
different views. 1t has been mslpi
tanned on the one hand that whert
the applicant for license has compiled

Is entitled to license as a matter o.
right, and the court has no author
ty to refuse to grant it. On tbt
other hand it has been held that The
courts may, in their discretion, dis
miss all applications for license, and
thus practically inaugurate total
prohibition. The view Of the Law
has been affirmed by the Supreme
Court. In each case the only ques
ton for the court to determine y
whether such a house as the pe1l1
toner proposes to keep is necessar!
for the accommodation Of the puUI

PROUD OF THE RECORD.

The unsolicited testimony of rail.
road conductors is such as to be a
source OF great qualification to us.
One who had charge of train on
which a good many OF the delegates
were going to Fairmont remarked
that he had only one passenger un-
der the influence of liquor and he
was not a Republican. Another
who had a train full of delegates re-.
turning at night from the conven.
ton remarked that he had
carried good many delegates to
various conventions, but he had new.
er seen so sober set of men as
these. He had not seen one notice.
ably under the influence of liquor in
the lot. This is as it should be !;
we hope the Republican party will
be proud of this record and careful
to make it good in the future
