Ringing Noises

In the ears, sometimes a roaring, buzz

exceedingly disagreeable and very COM
mon disease. Loss of smell or hearing
also result from catarrh. Hoods Sar-

TEMPERANCE.
BY MISS C. 8. BURNETT.

The dramshop could not exist one
year longer if the Christian commu-
nicants, headed by their bishops and
ministers, would come to a solid de-
cision that they will never vote again
under any circumstances for party
that does not put in its platform ALSO .
lutte prohibition, and war to the knife
against the rum traffic, and which does
not nominate for its officers and legis
lators men that are not only Prohibi-
t;onists, but known to be of sterling
Christian character. This the churches
would do, but for the fact tnat they
would lose from the payroll some men
OF wealth who are church members,
party relation than their church reia-
ton. The Church of England Con-
tlnues to draw immense revenues from
its own gin mills rented out to send
whole communities to perdition. But
as long as so many Of our Christian
people vote for a political party which
they know will sustain and neye. OPP
pose the GROCERY and brotheI, they are
on parallel with the church in Eng
land.
The explanation of the existence of
the liquor traffic in America is this.
About 200 600 people have come here
from Europe who have a dlstaste for
labor, but love TO sell rum and beer, be-
cause 100000 of industrious people
make q good market. These foreigners
soon get votes, and their poisoned Gus
toners have votes. Such votes are the
most valuable, and attractive property
known to our old politicians For the
votes marketable by the European
drunkard maker, and deliverable at
every election, our old party politicians,
under the leadership of Messrs. Blaine
and Cleveland, grant a permit to the
manklller's trust, to kill, burn and de-
stroy 100 coo American citizens a year,
and TO maintain an army of 100000
drunkards and as many criminals at The
public expense. Just so the Alaska Fur
Company for a liked sum Guys the
privilege of killing and skinning IOO, eco
ur seals every year. The two trades
are very similar, save that the seals get
far the best protection from the govern.
ment, and the most msrciful treatment
from their killers.
Louis Schsde, the paid attorney of
the liquor dealers at Washington, ex-
erts more despotio sway over our Con-
gress than the king or chief executive
of any constitutional government else
where does over his national assembly.
He threatens every O. 1gressman with
defeat at next election, who dares to
vote contrary to his dictatlon on mat
tiers that most affect the nations well
fare. And he exercises such power
in the appointment of committees that
action at all favorable or even at all
just, as regards the question of tenn
perance can never be reported in the
House as long as the old parties last,
and whenever in the past, he has
threatened to defeat Congressman of
either House, he bas succeeded, save
perhaps in the case of Senator Blair.
Schade declares there are no Prohib1-
tionists in The Senate nut Blair and
Colquitt. Speaker Carlisle and Secre-
tary Bayard are obedlent slaves of
Schade.

I'RESINTHIENT.

To THE Hon. w. II. Wallace,
PRESIDING JUDGE:
The Grand Jury respectfully sub
NIT the following report:
They have given attention to
such matters and things as apper-
tain to their duties and find upon
examination that the public Offices
ofthe County neatly and apparent
~ we'll administered.
The County Jail seem to be in q
safe and we'll preserved condition,
but would suggest that the Jailer
be required to observe more clean
Illness, as some Of the rooms seem
to be neglected and in need Of bet
ter attention. If consistent we
would also suggest that whenever
necessary that fires be furnished
the prisoners, as it would appear
to be hard treatment to punish
them in advance of their trial.
The Aims House was visited by
a Committee Of tho Jury, and its
condition found un.atisfuctory.-
The buildings all are in Il dilapi-
dated condition, and needs attcn-
ton. The barn they find entirely
down and Abandoned. The in
mates are thiuly clad and poorly
provided for in the way of wearing
apparel and bedding. Your Grand
Jury would therefore recommend
that the pressing needs Of these
Unfortunate people be supplied at
once.
We would call the attention Of
the County Commissioners and
Road Supervisors to the almost i'm
passable condition of our public
thoroughfares. In many instances
all the bitches have been obstruct-
ed and bridge crossings filled up
SO that there is no escape for the
falling rains except the road bed
itself.
Your Grand Jury would recon-
mend that our immediate Repre-
sentatives to the General Assem-
bly, use their influence in passing q
law that would allow the use Of all
convicts sentenced for misdemean-
ors be used in repairing the public
highways in the Counties in,which
they r convicted.
All expenses of apprehendlng
and trials are chargeable to the
Counties, and after conviction be-
come a bnrthen to the State with
out any reward. We would like
wise include all offenders convict
ed and sentenced in Trial Justice
Courts.
We would also call attention to
the neglected condition of the
creeks and rivers, which, in many
instances, are not cleaned out as
the law requires. Such neglect
and refusal to obey the law by
land owners is injurious to health
as we'll as detrimental to our farm
ing interest.
The Grand Jury take great pleas
ure in expressing their gratitude
for courtesies extended by your
Honor. AL of which is respectful
ly submitted.

Last Monday on the plantation
OF MI. David Mostler, one and a
half miles from Greer's, occurred q
most singular and narrowing acct
dent. Mr.. Foster and another man,
whose name we did not learn, were
sinking a well by blasting and were
at the depth of about forty feet.
They We're preparing for q blast
and had about finished tamping the
powder, when they heard the siz-
zing of the fuse, and knew that the
powder had caught from the fric-
ton of the tamping bar against the
stones. Quick rs thought Mr.. Eos
ter acted on Il suggestion he had
heard long ago and placed his foot
over the hole filled with powder.
The explosion took place and the
men were blown some distance up
the shaft. Mr.. Fosters leg was
scorched and torn in an ugly man
ner, and his companion had the
side ofhis face scorched and LAGER
aten, but otherwise they were I'M
hurt Nc bones were broken and
they will soon be free from their

A Model Farmer.

We publish to-day the method Of q
Laurens County citizen who has solv.
ed the difficult problem Of making a
success at farming. Mr. George M
Hannah, OF Cross Hill Township, is
the man who made, last year, TWEEN /.
ty one bales of cotton, with two horses,
working three hands, on""twenty.three
acres of land. Besides this, he made
corn for his WI family, his stock and
his hands, without having to buy a
grain. The beauty of it all is that
he used not a pound of commercial
fertilizer. Then too, Mr.. II. raised his
own hogs, and will not buy one pound
OF meat, for himself or hands.
1t is true we have farmers who
plant largely and make, on the best Of
their land, a bale to the acre, but after
deducting the cost of guano required,
not once, but every year, the income
is greatly decreased. Almost every
man has his W methods" and it is
difficult to convince him than any
man can improve upon them, bnt it
appears to THE ADVERTISER that a
method by w~hichssuch results are OBJ
tanned, is at least worthy of careful
consideration. Hence, it is withmuch
pleasure that We publish this astiole,l
and we hope that the man who can
beat this record will at once cone for
waFd With his suggestions.

vors doing away with the Trial Jus
tice system The system may be
Objectionable and some Of the off,
Gals may be incompetent but it
would be unwise to abolish it un-
less we had q better substitute. We
are compelled to have inferior
courts of some kind for the arrest
of violators Of the law and the adj
judication of small civil cases.
These courts must be established in
various sections Of the counties so
as to meet the necessities of the
people and afford n cheap method
Of maintaining individual rights.
Such courts have always existed
under our laws and we must al
ways have them. If something
better and cheaper cannot devised,
the Trial Justice system should
tand.
Many Of the complaints against
Trial Justices are unfounded. If
proper men hold these positions

william Evarts' Recent Question Fully
Answered ut tho Lincoln Dinner.
At the Lincoln dinner the Hon. William
NJ. Eyarts was indiscreet enough to ask
9lis question: "Have we chat is, the Re-
publican party anything to explain
away" Nobody answered the question,
and Mr.. Evarts didn't try TO answer it
himself, but went on or off to something
else. 1t must DO n most unfortunate
question to ask, but very easy to answer.
We don't mind answering 1t ourselves.
The Republicans rave II great deal to
explain away, Mr.. Evarts, and they can't
do 1t. The Republicans were in power
for twcnty-four years, and of that period
Mr.. Lincoln's administration, OF o little
moro than -four years, is about tho only
part they don't need to explain away.
They boggled reconstruction and let
their scalawags plumber and misrule the
Eouth ut the point Of Federal bayoncts.
Grants administration was n series of
swindles and scandals. Hayes began,
continued and ended in fraud, with Mr..
Evarts MS one of the chief conspirators
and benefciaries. Garfield's was q quar-
rel and u falsehood. Arthur's was the
one respectable Republican administra-
tion since Lincoln's, and in Arthur's time
Robson was tho chief figure In the Re
publican party.
These things need to be explained away,
but they cannot DO explained away. Mr..

Put Convicts On The highways.

We notice specially one suggestion
OF the Grand Jury, made in their pre-.
sentiment which is published elsewhere
It's not n new suggestion, for every
legislature for several years has been
asked to make provision by which the
counties can utilize the convicts on
the public-highways.
In accordance with the demand, the
legislature passed an Act, which was
ostensibly for the purpose Of utilizing
the convicts sent to the County iails,
but the Act was so fatally detective
as to be altogether imperative. But,
apart from this defective legislation,
when the matter was brought to the
attention OF the General Assembly
last year, many OF the members
thought the thing impracticable.
At first glance, it does seem 10 be
impracticablc, from the fact that only
three, four OF q dozen convicts ARE
sentenced at n time, and il would
seem that the cost Of keeping these
prisoners and guards would not pay.
BUT we think a perfectly practicable
plan may be devised.
For instance, say Laurens sends q
dozen men TO the pcnitcntiary this
year; suppose the sentences Of the
Court average twelve months each
Here we have labor equal to 144 men
one month. Now we submit, if Lau.
rens County could draw IA men from
the penitentiary for one month each
year to work on the highways, it would
greatly improve our country roads.
The work could be done thoroughly
where done at all, and thus made a
permanent Improvement. The pres.
ent mode of skimming,,over the roads
often does more harm than good. 1t
Is always unsatisfactory in the ex.
treme. Something must be done, and
what better way to work roads than
by convicts. 1t cannot be by direct
taxation, unless there is q considera
BILE looping offin some other direction
Where is the objection to working
convicts? AS the Grand Jury SAY
we are burdened with the expense o.
trial and conviction of offenders
and it but reasonable to ask for their
labor. The state pcnitentiary is not
self sustaining. Despite the fact that
hundreds of hand. who arc yeritable
slaves in the hands of their masters
confined in the State penitentiary
an annual deficiency appropriation is
necessary to maintain them. Put
them to work in the county and the
state will be relieved Of this burden.
