That is to say, our lungs. Also all
your breathing machinery. Very on
derful machinery it Is. Not only the
larger air-passages, but the thousands
OF little tubes am, cavities leading from
them.
with matter which ought not to be there,
your lungs cannot half ito their work.
And what they do, they cannot do we'll.
Call it cold, cough, Group, pneumonia,
catarrh, consumption or any olthc fam
lily of throat and nose and head and lung
distractions, all are bad. All ought to
be got rid OF. There is just ono sure
way to get rid of them. That.is to Jake
Boscheo's German Syrup, which any
druggist will sell you at 70 cents a bottle.
Even If everything else has failed you,
you may depend upon this for certain.

Schemes That Fail.

The watch-word Of tho hour il
cooperation. Every year brings
its quota Of cooperative societies
which in turn gain their quota OF
members, bent on growing strong
and rich by cooperation. The
most extensive cooperative move
ment that has ever claimed the at
tention of the farmers, was the
Grange. This order had rs q fun
damental idea, the improvement OF
farmers, socially andsseducational-
ly, and so long as this idea was not
entirely overshadowed by the CO.
operative, anti-middleman craze
the Grange was a Gee But
like all similar efforts, it did not ad-
here to the original purpose Of the
founders Of the order. The vari-
ous divisions began to establish CO.
operative factories and stores, buy
Ing and selling agents, and to ex-
pertinent in every field which fur
nishes employment to the brains
and muscle of man. Upon this
rock the order split.
Man is a social being, and this
principle in human nature alone, is
sufficient to upset the idea that any
society can band together to act in
dependently oftheir neighbors, and
attain any great success. These CO.
operative societies place great
stress upon tno assistance one per-
son renders another, and this very
argument carried out, will shake
the groundwork of such organiza-
tions. The world is 80 made that
supply and demand govern the pro-
duction of goods. This is the law
which impells men to perfect them
selves in literature science and art.
Indeed, it is the grand law which
moves the Industries of the world
and any restriction placed upon
commerce., is to that extent, In
furious.

The Trial Justice Must Go.

Surely the time has come when
the people of this State q see the
Trial Justice system as . most bur
densome and inefficient institution
The legislature has refused to give
us relief, and unless the subject is
agitated and discussed in the State
at large, we may expect to see for
years to come such appalling sums
rs are now published, taken from
the County Treasury annually
The whole system of Trial Justices
is wrong, and we have always adj
voc ated a clean sweep. Nochange
in the constitution is needed, for
the legislature which created can
also destroy. In the first place, it
is wrong in principle as well as per-
nicious in practice 80 far as this
County is concerned, to allow the
fees Of these officers to be deter
mined by the number Of warrants
issued, and especially when these
fees are paid by the County. The
TWO Trial Justices in Laurens this
year received from the County
$442.5 SO, while $1,141.9G is the aggre-
gate amount paid to all. Consta-
bles claimed about 100000 Of the
County funds, making a grand to-
tai Of something like $2,041.9 90,
which amount is probably one-hali
the cost of the Trial Justices. Now
when we consider the service they
have done the State, is this q rea.
sonable expense? Is it economy ?
"There is no wrong without a rem
edy." Where is it in this case ?
Just here we venture some sugges-
tions.
In the first place, let there be but
one man in each County to try
offenders, call him Trial Justice,
Justice of the Peace, County Judge,
or what you will. Give him q sal
airy Of $500 per annum, with n
constable at II salary Of $500. Give
to the Grand Jury the power to
commit offenders, and here let the
expense end. This one Trial JUS
tice at the County seat may dispose
OF civil cases, and the costs and fees
may be turned over to the County
Treasurer, and we venture to say
that with efficient men in the office
the cost of preserving peace and
order will be materially lowered if
not taken from the County alto
gether.
This thing Of having a judicial
tribunal at every cross. roads in
crease litigation fearfully. We
offer in support of this the cost of
the Trial Justice at this place in
1886, which was 1857, when we had
one, against SAP in 1887 with two,
We make no charge against the
Trial Justices. So far as we know
they have done nothing but what
the law allows, but the point Is that
the more Trial Justices we have
the more litigation, and conse-
quently expense on the County.

Discussion or No Discussion?

This will be an interesting year
politically. AL! the elective Offices
will be vacant, AMI the dear people
will be called upon to fill them,
from the batch of patriotic citizens
who express a Willingness to be
sacrificed upon their country's altar
So far as this county is concern
ed, we usually have ample means
ofknowing the individuals who are
seeking office. They come forward
and with little hesitation proclaim
themselves candidates, and ask for
office. Their character and fitness
are passed upo,, and an election
usually expresses the choice of a
majority Of Democratic voters. Can
as much be said with reference to
| State officers. tits a reflection upon
our State, that after years Of home
rule, the mass of voters have no
choice in selecting the candidates
of the democratic party. There
may have been a time, when for the
sake Of harmony and the success
OF the party, it NNs advisable to al
low candidates TO be chosen by dis
Greet men," but no such reasons
now exist, and the people are anx-
ious to exercise their prcrogative.
It is not necessary that the State
Officers should be nominated in o
primary election. That is useless,
and would be troublesome, but the
State Executive Committee of the
party, should by all means arrange
to have q canvass of the State by
those who aspire to office, prior to
the selection of delegates to the
nominating OnN ention. This will
give the people an opportunity of
knowing who are candidates, and
the delegates then elected will ex-
press the direct voice ofthe people.
No harm can possibly result from
q thorough discussion OF political
questions. Indeed it is absolutely
essential to tho proper exercise of
the elective franchise. Fair and
full discussion Of the questions Of
state polity, is educational, and
serves to make mon better inform
ed OF the spirit and genius Of our
government; and hence, better cit
liens. 1t also tends to dissipate pre-
judice; to eXterminate demagog-
uery, which subsists on the credu-
lily of ignorance. , ut more i'm
portant still, this discussion Of ISIS
ues will allow the people instead Of
the few to dictate the policy of
the state.
Let it come; from the people we
have nothing to fear. Away with
tho idea that the people cannot be
trusted to elect their own rulers to
shape the course of the state! TO al
low q few men to meet together and
declare candidates who have al
ready been nominated by a few 9TH
or men, while the people have been
in total ignorance of the VIII ole mat
teris a tacit admission that pop
ular election IS a failure. We repud-
late the idea, and will rejoice to see
the democracy OF South Carolina
rise in her might and demand a
deal above the board.
Now is the time,eiu this year of
eur Lord n thousand eight hun
dred and lightweight; and let Lau-
rens, foremost in redeeming the
state III '7G be also in the front rank
In claiming n strict adherence to
democratic principles in '89. If
nothing more is granted, we trust
that when the nominating conven-
ton is called the delegates from
Laurens at least will protest against
a nomination until the candidates
are heard by the people.

1t was merry little party that left

Queer Fits and starts.

The fits end starts-using these words in
their literal meaning-of the nervous people
often strike the beholder as ludicrous, The
nerves OF hearing Of such pnfoytunatcs az
painfully acute, and impinged by abrupt,
perform antics worthy of jumping-jack
At the root of nervousness, in most in
stances, is non-assimilation Of the food, and
consequently innutrition of the nerves as of
is, of course, productive of serious nervous
disease. The remedy is Hostetters Stomach
Bitters, that inyigorate the stomach and
enables it to perform its functions properly,
Soon after commencing course of it, it
tranquil by day, nightly repose becomes less
interrupted, and appetite more vigorous
and satisfying. These are the initial indica-
tions, followed by the complete restoration
of nervous vigor: The Bitters also cure
fever and ague, liver complaint and con-
situation.

RAILROAD RATES.
Many Objections TO the Present
Schedule.


An effort will be made to adjust the
tariff both for freight and passenge,
business at the forthcoming meeting
Of the Transcontinentai Association at
San Francisco. There is at present a
great disparity in the charges to the
Missouri River and those to interme-
diate points, the former being unpro-
portionately lower than the latter.
Most of the traffic managers have
agreed that this disparity should be
removed, but are very diversified
in their opinions as to how it is to be
done. Some think that as the East
ern roads are fighting over rates to the
Missouri river and Colorado points it
would be good idea to increase the
through rates and leave the inter-
mediate rates as they are at present.
others suggest general reorganiza-
hon OF the tariff, lowering some rates
and leaving others, but among rail-
road circles it is said that the pros-
poets for any reductions are very
small.
