The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga !:
Gentlemen: Five years ago was so
unfortunate as to contract and ex-
tremely bad case of blood poison.
My bones ached and my muscles be-
gan to swell and contract. I was un-
der treatment Of the physician from
the inception of the disease until I
found that he could do me no good.
Then through the advice Of a friend
I began taking S. S. S. Your medi-
cine seemed to have an immediate
effect. I commenced to improve at
once, and in a very short time all ev-
idence of the disease disappeared. I
took six bottles, and to-day am sound
and well. That was two or three
years ago, but I have seen no evi-
dence Of the return of the disease,
and 7 take this opportunity to thank
you for what it has done for me. 1t
saved my life. You can refer any
one to me.

The Georgetown convention met
last Thursday. No nomination was
made. The Columbia Register says:
A feeling of-weariness seemed to be
depicted on the face Of almost every
delegate, except, perhaps, of two re-
cruits who came from Kingstree.
The feeling was manifested in almost
the careless manner in which some OF
the delegates voted. Motions to take
q recess Of short time we're constant
y being made and defeated. Nearly
al of the delegates seemed to be i'm
pressed with the fact that the object
of this convention was to nominate a
Solicitor, and not to spend their time
m doing anything else. Although
esch set Of delegates seemed to be
weary Of the monotony of the situa-
ton, yet they appeared to be as loyal
to then favorite as they were when
they poned their first vote.
After taking GIT ballots the conven-
lion adjourned to meet at Sumter on
the 18th inst, Friday.

The Meeting of the Harmony Presbytery.
IHiagStres Record.

The Presbytery Of Harmony met in the
Presbyterian Church Of Lynchburg, S. e.,
on Thursday morning, Sept 9th, and was
opened with sermon BY the retiring Mod
erato-, Rev. Il. NJ. B-early. There were
present eighteen ministers and twenty-six
ruling elders. This is considered fai- rep
resensa@ion of presbytery consisting of
twenty-s1 ministers and forty-seven
churches. Rev. ". L. Boggs of Liberty Hill
was elected Moderator and Rev. II. G. Gil
land of Indian5own, Temporary Clerk
The business of the Presbytery began and
was earned forward rapidly with very few
reasons for delay Rev &. D. Perry, who
had been absent near a year at work IN
Florida, Was back again in our bounds.
The subject Of the care of Davidson College
was bsoaght up, and it was determined to
give the College greater place in the in
terest of Presbytery. Nr. a. White Of Sum-
ter, was reelected trustee for another term.
There was disposition 70 give more atten-
ton to work among the colored people.
There are number OF churches among
these people in the upper counties OF the
Presbytery.
The narratives from all the churches did
not indicate rapid growth, but they seemed
to show better spirit among the churches,
az increase in moral and spiritual excel
lence.
The Evangelist Of Presbyterv, Rev. J. G.
Richards, made q report Of his work aad he
was authorized to organize churches at So
ciety Ein, Chesterfield C. Il, west OF Wa
teree River in Aershaw County and pein-
not far from Cherav. His work is very ent
couraging, ana he is sent forth again with
the prayers Of the people.
Nj. y. V. Hemmingway, OF Cheraw, son
of Dr.. Hemingway Of our county, was ia
ken under care of Presbytery as g candidate
for the ministry. He is very promising
youth, now prosecuting his studies at Da-
wilson College.
Presbytery determined to hold its next
meeting at Mt Zion Chs-ch IN Sumter
County on Friday before the second Sun
day in april, 1889.
The meeting was quiet one, full Of earn.
est work and great pleasure.

WEDNESDAY, October 10. 1888.

The deadlock in the third Judicial
circuit has become matter of mo-
,nentous Importance to the people,
and the obligation is imperative with
the convention to relieve the anxious
suspense by nominating solicitor.
Bv the dalliance of the convention
with this duty, they have allowed the
time to pass not only for a primary,
but even for the counties to elect del
egates to another judicial convention.
The delegates have put themselves in
this dilemma and their duty is to find
q way out.
The Democratic party must have 8
candidate for the Office Of solicitor st
sae general election, otherwise Whit
ssker, Edwards, Stewart, or another
of the g. o. p. will take advantage OF
our anomalous situation to declare
for the prize. The delegates of the
convention must bear in mind that
the party safety is of greater conse-
ouence than the interests of Giland,
Wilson, or Dargan. Feeling must be
laid aside, and calmly and deliberate
" the candidate must be chosen.
It viii not do for the delegates to
look elsewhere than to the gentle
men before the convention for NOM
inee. ANY one of the three will make
capable and efficient officer, and
bearing as they have done the eS-
pense, worry and fatigue OF the long
canvass, one of,the three deserves to
be chosen. It is idle and puerlle
talk for the delegates to say eve won,s
vote for your man or the other man.
They are expected to be men, and as
men to Lay aside prejudice and feel
ing and favoritism, and nominate
the solicitor. Put Wilson, Dalgan,
and Gilland in the balances, weigh
carefully their respective claims, and
the one standing highest in the scales
with the most merit in his cause.
make him the nominee. This result
is expected from the delegates at the
Sumter meeting next Friday.

The Boston Herald is a profit
sharing institution. Recently the EN-
ploves received their share of the net
profits of 1887. The shares amountt d
to $l5, 900, and each employe was paid
an amount equal to 4 per cent. of his
wages-or two weeks pay.
The scale of wages that Carnegie
put in force in bis Braddock works
when they started last week differed
as follows from last years's schedule:
In 1887 the keepers men who work
at the furnaces were paid 81 So for
eight hours work Under the new
scale they will be paid S2 s5 for
twelve hours. In 1886 they were
paid but Sl9O for eight hours. If
the wages had but advanced in the
same proportion as the number Of
working ours they should receive
$500 for the twelve hours.

A Jolly Judge.

T. n. j. in the Harrisburg Tele-
oraDh tells some stories of a former
Judge of this State as follows:
This same Judge was convivial
cuss and occasionally he got full as a
goat and appeared on the bench in
that condition. Once when he was,
to use the language of the street,
"drunker than boiled OWL" he took
his seat on the bench and bade the
clerk Call the next case" 1t hap
pened to be a very important case,
and the lawyers saw that it would
never do to try it with the judge in
that condition. They saw that he
was totally oblivious to his surround
ings, so they organized q burlesque
trial and went along with it very SOL
emnly. Mock plaintiff and mock de-
PENDANTS were in the trial, and the
witnesses were sworn on q blank
book mot to tell the truth, the whole
truth nor nothing like the TRUTH" and
mock arguments were made, and a
mock verdict rendered. 1t was per-
feet travestie, but the befuddled judge
thought that everything was lovely
and adjourned the court with con-
sciousness of duty well performed.
Then he went home and slept off @
"big head" The next day, sober and
erect, he entered court, called a case
(the same tried in mockery the day
before) and tried it in great shape,
and he never knew that the day be.
fore be had been making a guy of
himself. The matter was kept quiet,
but such funny little things will leak
out, and l picked it up.
Another time this judge was off his
kerbase on the bench, and was in
clined to be hilarious. He was about
to adjourn the court, when the clerk
said.
"Your honor, there are some pris-
oners to sentence"
"What? Prisoners TO sentence!
Bring 'em inl Bring 'em in! iii send
the whole blanked let to the peniten-
tiary"
He was prevailed upon to postpone
the sentencing until the next day.
when none of the convicted men were
sent to the penitentiary, because they
were not guilty of crime that warrant
ed such punishment.
