Sufferers from gout who were
confined to their beds and could
hardly move a finger have been
cured by it. There is a girl in
our district who caught a cold
by going through some water,
and was in bed five years with
costiveness and rheumatic pains,
and had to have an attendant
to watch by her. There was
not a doctor in the surrounding
district to whom her mother
had not applied to relieve her
child, but every one crossed
themselves and seid they could not
help her. Whenever the littlebell
rang, which is rung III our place
when anybody is dead, we thought
surely it was for her; but Seigels

is as healthy as anybody, goes to

Editor Register: If you will allow
me brief space in your columns, I
propose to show your many readers
the inconsistency Of that invective at
sask on ex-senator Smith in ail the
late issues of the Ne,es and Courier,
which eminated from the Columbia
correspondent Of that most estimsble
journal.
do not, in the first instance, pro-
pose to justify ex-senator Smiths ac-
lions while he wss Barnwells Senator,
but it seems to me that neither the
General Manager, or the Ne,rs and
Courier Itself, occupies a position
wherein they can with expediency as
sail any one at that time.
Il is true did not take much stock
IN Columbis politics at that time, but
after the revolution in 1876, ] remem-
her full we'll what that famous Com
aaissee on Frauds got out of that little
DIARY, which was enough for almost
any conscientious man to believe, or
rather it was sufficient for me to in
fsr that both Josephus and Jones, the
general mnnager Of that most estima-
bic journal, the Charleston News and
Courier, got the lions share Of the
Islander.

Strange. with all that in the face OF
intelligence the General Manager
would allow such an attack as that OF
No Goods to enter its columns.
I am certainly sorry to make this
exposure, but knowing much of the
General Managers dark deeds, / could
not refrain from saying something
on the subject for the public good.
It seems chat all the time this good
stealing was going on the General
Manager was kept well posted by his
chum, Josepdus, who even blushed
when told of "Ronea Johns" adase-
that there was five years more of good
stealing in this State.
But with al thut, the General Man
ager seea's to have SO covered his
tracks that he has become particular
favorite with the Democratic party,
as he has reached its pinnacle by be-
ing the Soath Carolina member of the
National Democratic E.recutire COM
mutee, and with the gift of such an
Office, he has, or his Columbia cores
pondent has, the audacity to upbraid
poor ex-senator Smith for taking the
small amount Of fifteen hundred dol
lars, when am bound to believe
from the little Diary only that the
gain of the General Manager was. at
least, FIVE times as uuch.-Josekhus,

"The Sumter Farce"
1Bishopelle Enterprise. !

Our cotemporsry, the Pee Dee mder,
heads an editorial, as the above, on
the recent attempt at trial of the
Keels-Bowmau affair at this place and
other cases resulting from it. We
clip the following from the same:
"At the next term the case will
probably be continued until the next
term and so on until the community
is disguised with the quibblings Of
lawyers and the weakness and help
lessness of the criminal Law courts.
"The methods employed to obtain a
postponemept Of the cases are notori-
ously shameful and impudent It is
well known that persons wers hired
to leave the Stste and remain beyond
its jurisdiction until a postponement
could be had on the ground OF their
absence, while had they been present
their testimony would have been Of
no value.
"Were such cases of less frequent
occurrence this particular one would
excite general indignation and even
dismsy. Into so great lisrepute,
however, have the courts of law fallen
that the most notorious failure of JUS
tice attracts little attention and no
wonder or surprise. People smile in
fine scorn at the mention Of the word
justice, for il has come to be an emp
ty expression, almost without mean
ing. Justice may be said to be rela-
tive in its character. The case OF the
Sumter rioters, even at this early
stage Of the proceedings, reveals the
influence of agents mightier than the
combined power OF both law and
right. The power Of money and So
cial position as controlling factors in
courts Of law are as plainly manifest
as ifit were boldly and publicly pro-
claimed. Had these defendants been
poor and Ignorant without money,
friends or worldly positions, the ad-
ministration OF justice in their case
would not hsve been found difficult
matter. The law would have been
speedily vindicsted."
These are grave charges and then
being from the pen of q lawyer who
could be supposed to know the Chi
canery Of the legal profession. How
long will the people smile in fine
scorn at iustice9 Will these cases be
permitted to ride rough-shod over
law and right by the notoriously
shamefully and impudent postpone
ment methods These postponements
work an injustice to every tax payer
Of the county, and is a heavy expense
and trouble to witnesses, taking them
from their place of business, forcing
them to pay from their own pockets
their necessary expenses at court, and
then for justice to be driven from her
course. Away with the courts when
justice is sacrificed to favor, position,
influence, money or what not. We
cry aloud for justice to all men, friend
or foe, rich or poor.

Three Political Points.
[Hgefeld Chronicle. !.

Our State Democratic Executive
Committee will meet in Columbia on
Friday evening of next week, April 6.
We hope they will call the State Con-
vention to meet in Columbia, as usual
instead of in the up-country. That
is point number one.
And, inasmuch as it is pretty clear
to our mind that the present State
administration will be renominated
in body-and We have no objec-
ton, without we could get John
C. Sheppard for Governor-we
hope the State Convention will
be extremely careful about rem
.1ering a second Convention
necessary. If the present State ad-
ministration Is to be renominated, let
us, If it be by any means possible,
avoid the folly of incurring the trouble
and expense OF q second Convention.
That is point number two.
And earnestly do we hope that the
State Convention will not in any way
moot the nomination of our State of
fcers by primary election. Circum-
stances alter cases tremendously in
this world. The primary is the best
plan for county nominations, but for
State officers it would surely lead to
delay, expense, trouble, confusion and
disappointment that would weigh very
heavily upon our people at large.
That is point number three

dorf, in Lower Austria, lives
Maria Haas, an intelligent and
industrious woman, whose story
of physical suffering and final
relief, as related by herself, is
of interest to English women.
II was employed" she says,
Gin the work Of a large farm
house. Ove1worlS brought con
sick headache, followed by
deathly fainting and sickness
of the stomach, until | was
unable to retain either food or
drink. I was compelled to
take to my bed for several
weeks. Getting a little better
from res; and quiet, | sought
to do some work, but was soon
taken with a pain in my side,
which IN a little while seemed
to spread over my whole body,
and throbbed in my every limb.
This was followed by cough
and shortness of breath: until
finally I could not sew, and |
took to my bed for the second,
and. as l thought, for the last
time. My friends told me that
my time had nearly come, and
that I could not live longer
than when the trees put on
their green once more. Then |
happened to get one of the Sci.
gel pamphlets. I read it, and
mJ dear mother bought me .

which | took exactly according
te, directions, and ] had not
t,:ken the whole of it before I
felt a change for the better. My
last illness began June Sd,
1882, and continued to August
9Th, when l began to take the
Syrup. Very soon could doa
little light work. The cough
left me, and I was no more
troubled in breathing. Now |
,rm perfectly cured; and oh,
now happy I am! I cannot
express gratitude enough for
SE1eEL's SYRUP shaker Ex-
tract of Roots). Now | must
tell you that the doctors in our
district distributed handbills
cautioning the people against
the medicine, telling them it
would do no good, and many
were thereby Influenced to de-
stroy the Seigel pamphlets; but
now, whenever one is to be
found, it is kept like a relic.
The few preserved are Dor.
rowed to read, and I have lent
mine for six miles around our
district. People have come
eighteen miles to get me to buy
the medicine for them, know
ing that it cured me, and to be
sure to get the right kind. I
know a woman who was look
ing like death, and who told
them there was no help for her,
that she had consulted several
doctors, but none could help
her: I told her of Seigel's
Syrup, and wrote the name
down for her that she might
make no mistake. She took
my advice and the Syrup, and
now she is in perfect health,
and the people around us are
amazed. The medicine has
made such progress in our
neighborlood that people say
they don't want the doctor any
more, but they take the Syrup.

A RED BAT.
Landlord Reinhart's Novelty Show
YESTERDAY.

Lan0lOrO Ite1nhart7S novelty show
Yesterday.
"Go up to the hotel registry room and
see the curiosity there" was remark
made at some time or the other during
the day to the habitues and visitors to
the Southern Pacific depot on San Fer
nando street yesterday. On arriving at
the place indicated the sightseer found a
large wooden box nailed to the wall, and
over this canvas was nailed so that it
Lung down like table cloth all around.
On the top was card bearing the follow
ing inscription: Large red bat. Cap
tured after search of five days in the
Tehachipe mountains. Wounded Sew
eral men,"
els it safe to lift back the canvas ?" a
railroad man was saying, as HERALD
reporter dropped in.
"Yes, guess so," was the response
from the genial clerk, "better lift 1t back
with stick though"
The trainman got long stick and then,
very cautiously, lifted up the curtain. AS
he did SO number of curious spectators
pressed anxiously forward, eager to see
the ferocious capture. But all they be-
held was brick suspended by a stout
cord from the top OF the box, and as they
gazed at it in wonderment, shrieks of
laughter from behind the bar and those
who stood in told them that they had
been sold. The joke was worked success
fully all day, nearly all of the officials and
trainmen having the laugh turned on
them.

THE RAILROADS.
Arrangement Between the
s. P. and Santa Fe.
A NEW TARIFF TO THE EAST.
General Manager A. N. TOwne of the
s. P. Expected in the City
To-day.

When the Santa Fe Road obtained a
firm footing in Southern California by
the purchase of the California Central
and California Southern Roads it was
only to be expected that considerable
rivalry would prevail between it and the
Southern Pacific. One of the chief evils
connected with such combat has been
that the travelling public has suffered,
for in order to take business away from
each other the roads have resorted to a
number Of devices, such as timing their
trains to arrive and depart at given
point in order that connection could not
be made with the other road, this being
done to control the local traf-
fc. Instances in point are as follows:
Train No. II from the north over the S.
P. arrives at A. NJ, and the Santa Fe's
train for San Diego departs at 15 A. NJ.
thus rendering it impossible for anyone
to transfer from the San Fernando to the
First street depot in time. Then the
train from San Diego by the new short
line arrives here at IL "a P. NJ. while the
Southern Pacific's train to the north
leaves at IL: As P. M. Again, the night
train from San Diego arrives at 9:24
P. NJ. and the s. P.'s San Francisco train
pulls out at 9:3O P. M. At Cotton this
unpleasant state of things also exists, as
the train to Riverside pulls out at 10 80
A. M. or ten minutes before the arrival of
the s. P. train, thus compelling passen-
gers by the last named cars to lay over
until 4:10P P. NJ.
It was evident, however, that this
state of things could not continue. The
merchants, the press and the travelling
public in general made vigorous com
plaintJ against such unfair dealing and
at last an amicable arrangement has
been entered into by the two companies.
They have agreed to run their trains so
that the transfer of passengers desiring to
travel on the other line can be comfort
ably made and this new and pleasant
state of things will 60 into effect on Sun
day next. The principal changes are
that the noon train to San Francisco
over the Southern Pacific will leave
at :15 P. M. instead Of at
at IL AS P. NJ. as heretofore. The train
from this city to San Diego will leave at
8 A. NJ. instead of S:15 A. NJ, and the
train that now arrives from San Diego at
IL 80 P. NJ. will arrive at u "a. The
California Central train that at present
reaches here at 8 IA P. M. will arrive at
9P.M. A number of minor changes are
to be made at different points along the
line, and will result in satisfactorily
settling existing grievances.

tinople has been reduced from five days

STEPHEN vERDUGO's STORY.
Why He Took Things Which Did
Not Belong 10 Him,

Stephen Verdugo, young Mexican
about Is years Of age who was employed
by A. w. Hall on ranch in the Little
Tejunga Canon, was brought before JUS
tice Austin yesterday, and pleaded not
guilty to the charge Of petit larceny. He
told sad sort OF story. He said that
Hall had been owing him money for
some time, and he was unable to collect
any OF it. An old and invalid father was
dependent upon him for support, and he
felt that he must do something. A friend
had assured him that under such circum-
stances he would be allowed to take any,
thing of Halls that he could lay his
hands on and sell it. He had therefore
taken with him when he came to town
to sell some wood, blanket and an &C.
Gordon which he hoped to get money
for. He said that Hall had informed
against him, and he was arrested and
held in Jail until he could be examined.
His horses were sent to the pound. The
boy was dismissed on his own recogni-
zSnce.

Associate d Charities.

A meeting OF the Associated Charities
was called for yesterday afternoon.
Only two members were present and no
business was transacted. The finance
question was vigorously discussed; it
appearing that the treasury was without
funds and the society confronted with
many calls for money. The members
expressed themselves as of the opinion
that the general public failed to appreci-
ate the Importance of the association.
The Treasurer, VIM. B. Herriot, will be
glad to hear from those who are inter-
ested in the work.

Good progress is being made on the

from the shore and grows larger and lar

stantly employed. 1t is being made
wide enoug h to accommodate two tracks in

side will extend out for quite distance.

The quality OF our ice is superior to nat
ural ice in purity. The water Of which 1t is
made is taken from deep driven well, is
first boiled, then filtered, and thus is abso-
lutely free from all impurities. It is frozen
evenly and solid, and will last 25 per cent.
longer than natural ice. Actual tests will
always prove this, and scientific men have
long sgo demonstrated and now admit it.
We are now prepared to furnish resi-
dences, and on application by postal card or
otherwise, our canvasser will visit and ar
range for delivery, 1t should be generally
