Summerton Pos+office,

Last week We were informed by some of
our prompt paying subscribers-and we be-
lieve them perfectly reliable that there
were complaints at the Summerton postoftice
that the office was kept open only from 10
to 3 O'Clock, to the great inconvenience OF
many of the patrons Of that Office, and to
the very probable detriment to our subscrip-
ton list. We called attention through our
columns to the report. with o suggestion
that from to 6, with a proper time for
noon, would be more convenient hours.
The postmaster at Summerton sends us
the following commun ication on the subject:
To the Elior Of "The Times"
In the last issue of your paper you said
several persons bad complained that they
could not get their papers from my office.
This is base fa'sehood and I can prove it
By the very best people in and around
Summerton. I venture the assertion that
those persons didn't ask for their mail
hence their excuse. A poor excuse is better
than none. +. NJ
Summerton, Nov. 9Th, 'SS.
We cannot think, nor do we believe, our
informants made q malicious misstatement
OF facts, yet they are probably mistaken in
their statement. If they have anything
further to say we would be pleased to hear
it for we believe every postofice ought to
show all she accommodation necessary for
its patrons, and when our attention IS
called to the fact that postmaster is dere-
Ect in s.ch accommodation. We shall not
hesitate TO erdeavor to get the evil corrected
Generally the case is that The country post
masters are entirely too accommodating
trop S,ItC h>-
loaa;ng, and occasionally giving to consti-
tutional loafers The TINES and other papers.
This oaght TO be stopp-3. It is gross in
jast;ce 70 the publishers. We have never
had such a charge preferred against the
Sumr,erton posto+ice, and two Of the clerks
Of the Office have informed us that mail can
be and is gotten from the Office any time
from sunrise to dark, and not infreauently
the mail is given out efter dark. If all
parties are treated that way, tho Summerton
postoffce offers all the accommodation one
IS looking for.
II connection with tie above, we publish
rart of & pirate letter received by us FROM
ore Of the most reliable and prominent
gentlemen IN that section, and With this we,
rs far as we are concerned, let tie matter
drop.
While ! an writing let NE Soy that I
want 70 correct a statement made Ill your
las: issue, relative to the Summerton post
Office. an surprised to know that such
complaint should be made, as the post
mistress is very obliging at all times and to
all people 50 far as I know. "ris true that
they have office hours, but do not adhere to
them, in as much as any one can get mail
out Of the Office at any hour day or night.
In simple justice to the lady, know you
viii make this correction, for which am
responsible. Of course you are at liberty 70
use my name if any one asks your author,

A WOMAN'S DISCOVERY.

Another wonderful discovery mas been
made and that too by a lady IL this county.
y sease fastened its clutches upoI: her and
for seven years she withstood its severest
tests, 0ut her vital organs were underlnin-
ed and death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughcd inccssantly and could
not sleep. She bought Of US bottle Of DR..
Kings New Discovery for Consumption
and was so much relieved on taking first
dose that she slept all night and with one

THE VERDICT UNANIMOUS

W. D. Suit, Druggist, Bippus, Ind, tes-
titles: II can recommend Electric Bitters
as the very best remedy. Every bottle sold
has given relief in every case. One man
took six bottles, and was c"red of rheuma-
tism of 10 years standing" Abraham
Hare, Druggist, Bellville, Ohio, aihrms.
"The best selling medicine I have ever
handled in my 20 years experience, is Elec-
tr;c Biesers." Thousands Of others have
added their testimony, SO that the verdict
IS unanimous that Electric Bitters do cure
all diseases Of the Liver, Kidneys, or Blood.

Charleston is having peculiar ex-
peEience with some of her business
men. 4 license tax On all business Of
the city was imposed, which many Of
the merchants opposed On the ground
of being unjust and unconstitutional.
Mr.. John McElree, one of the best
and most prominent men in the city,
led this opposition, aud refused to
pay the license. The City Court rem
dered judgment against the delin-
quent merchants, and fined them from
$40 to 500 and costs, An appeal
was taken to the State Supreme Court,
which sustained the lower court.
Notice of appeal was then given to
tie United States Supreme Court, but
the City Council, as we understand it,
with high handed might refused
longer to wait on the courts, and be-
gan executing the sentences. Mr.
McElree was the first arrested, and
put in jail Eighteen other merchants
have since been arrested and put in
Jail for the same oSense-refusing to
pay their licenses, fines and costs. Il
seems to US the City Council should
have waited till the courts had finished
with the cases. Something must be
wrong and "deeayed" It is a shame,
an outrage, in any city to have to put
into jail a score OF its best citizens.
Mr.. McElree himself is worth, we sup
pose, a hundred thousand dollars.
The entire State is looking on with
interest The sentences range from
thirty days to six months.

NEARLY ENOUGH SIGNATURES.
LocaI-OptiOn Election This Summer
Almost Certain.

1t Is now a conceded fact that local-op-
lion election will be held in Richmond this
summer. and it will probably take place some
time during the latter part Of July.
over ihree thousand signatures have been
obtained to the petitions asking Judge Atkins
to order an election, and many Of the can
yassers have not yet reported. 1t is estl-
mated that at the meeting OF temperance
men to be held at McDonough's Hall Satur-
day night, at which all forty OF the petitions
are to be handed In, the aggregate number
OF signers will be found to reach At least four
thousand, and some think even as many as
five thousand will be secureds
Judge AtkIos will he authorized 10 act in
the matter when petitions are presented to
bin containing 3,4l7 signatures.
The petitions do not rame any time for
the election, but it is thought very likely
that when the petition Is presented the Pro-
hibitlouists will suggest TO the Court what
date they thluk advisable that the election
shall be held on.
A prominent temperance-man In conver-
sation with Dispatch reporter yesterday
said that he thought about the last week in
July was generally considered the most de-
sirable time, as that would give enough time
before the presidential campaign for all feel
ing in the matter 10 die down. This, how
ever, is yet to be decided.
