There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
a great many years Doctors pronounced
it local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable Science has proven catarrh
to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treat
ment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufac-
tured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on
the market. It is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful. 1t
acts directly upon the blood and mucus
surface of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for circulars and testimo-
malls. Address, F. }. CHENEY & Co.,

A Warm Reception to Mormon Elders.

About ten days ago three Mormon
elders from Salt Lake City arrived in
Marion County, Ala, and began to
hold services at private houses. Last
week the Marion County Herald, a
weekly paper published at Hamilton,
exposed the object of the visit of the
elders and called on the people of the
county to drive them from that Sec
ton. Sunday the elders conducted
religious services at the house of man
named Moore, where they were stop
ping. That night about fifty promi-
nent citizens of the county surrounded
Moore's house, and, taking the elders
into the woods, gave them a coat of tar
aud feathers and warned them to leave
the county in twenty-four hours. They
promised to leave at once.

historic estate, known as Chatham, on
the heights overlooking Fredericks-
burg, was sold yesterday by OliverWat-
son to D. McMahon, a wealthy New

spot, and the mansion was, during the
late war, occupied by Gen. Burnside as
his headquarters during his siege of

4 Bad Community Near Prosperity.

PROSPERITY, S. c., December A.
On Saturday night last Butler Banks

Cured is bad one, as it has been not
very long since two caps were bursted
at a good peaceable, law-abiding citi-

two more of the residents Of the same
community have lost by fire their
barns and stables, and the result is that

Judge Presley to Retire.
1Greenville News.

1t is rumored here on very good au-
thority that Judge Presley will not be
a candidate for reelection at this meet
ing of the Legislature, but will retire
from the bench. It is not idle rumor,
either, as Judge Presley is said to have
told gentleman of this city his inten-
tion when in Columbia last week. It
is understood that General Izlar, OF
Orangeburg, viii be one of the most
prominent candidates to succeed tie
Judge. If the rumor is correct, and
there seems good foundation for its
truth, South Carolina will lose one of
her ablest and most worthy members
of the bench, whose legal ability and
high integrity has never yet been
doubted or questioned.

The Snake Swallowed the sausases.
from the Troy Budget. |

The wife of G. w. Alexander, of
Honeybrook, Pa, purchased some links
of sausage few days ago and placed
them on plate that covered a crock of
pickles in her cellar. She went down
the cellar to get the sausa es to cook.
She had no light, but could see the
plate and the coil of sausages, as she
supposed, by the dim light that the
cellar window gave. She reached down
to pick the sausages up, when she was
startled to see them uncoil and dis
covered a snake, about six feet long
and very chunky y crawling slowly en-
the cellar floor. She killed it. It had
the links of sausage inside Of it. The
snake had swallowed the sausage, and
finding the smooth plate pleasant to
lie on, had curied itself up to wait nntil
its supper digested.

A Direct Vote for President.
GGalveSton NeWs.1

Tariff reform and tax reduction are
important measures, but reform that
lies deerar is the reform of our system
of national elections. So long as the
people are denied the right to choose a
President by their direct votes, so long
will the shameful frauds practiced in
New York and elsewhere be continued.
The best way to destroy the power of
the trading politician is to destroy the
system that gives him that power. If
the people and not the States were al
lowed to elect the President, the pivo-
tai State idea, with all its concomitant
evils, would at once disappear.

WASHINGTON, December 6.-There
is movement on foot to have Assis-
tant Secretary Hugh S. Thompson
transferred from the treasury depart
ment to the civil service commission,
to fill the vacancy occasloned by The
appointment of Mr. Oberly to She In
dian office. It is said that the Presi-

Mr.. Thompson's conduct in the treas
ury department and he desires to-shoW
his appreciation by appointing him to-
the civil service commission, with
view to his being retained as the
Democratic member Of that commis-
sion after the new Administration
comes in.
The names of Proctor Knott, of Ken
lucky, Ex-Congressmam Cox, of North

wards Mr.. Thompson, in view Of the
fact that he resigned from then GU

was a very practical statement of the
relations of the Grand Army to the

the possibilities now before u.s.. The
address throughout was full of candid,
scholarly thought, we'll put together
and fully appreciated by the large au-

three rousing cheers at the close of
his address, and with a selection by
the choir-a solo by Mrs. Fisk and
