In recent correspondence OF the
Nears GRd Courier it was stated that
Che allied farmers of Wilkins7ille in
Union County are stgoing on the cash
basis" They have already raised the
!: money amongst themselves to pur-
chase their main supplies. The ten.
: dency Of the Alliance, it is said, is sto
work the farmers up to cash basis, N
and the Wlkinsville farmers have an
ticipated results by placing themselves
on that basis at the outset. The wis
dom Of their policy and practice can
: not be doubted, and need not be ex-
:: planned. The correspondent covers
the whole ground in sentence:
When 8 man has the ready cash in
@his pocket, he is 8 pretty good ALI
) sauce within himself" ;" He viii al
ways be able to buy whatever he
needs at the very lowest market price.
He win always have plenty of friends,
and few enemies High rates of in
serest viii cause him no loss of sleep
or waste Of labor. On commenting
upon this, tie Necs and Courier says,
this particular branch of the order
has discovered one of the first princi.
pies of success in farming, and its
members at last have their feet set in
the furrow that leads to independence
and prosperity.
But In the same correspondence
that tells of the business sagacity Of
the Wlkinsville farmers, in adopting
the plan of cash purchases, It is stated
that 'thsy have ordered a carload Of
corn and viii buy their -four and ba-
con" on the same liberal terms This
Is deplorable. There is no reason
why any Farmers Alliance in our
State should have to buy corn and
-four and bacon By the carload at
this season of the year. There has
been 3 serious error of management
somewhere, when any farmer is COM
PEELED to buy, for cash or otherwise,
what be should produce, snd can pro-
slnce, on his own farm. He is not on
acash basis" BY any means, when
his small purse is full and his big
cribs=are empty. As has been al
ready stated in these columns, the
! course which the Wilkinsville farm
ers are endesvoring to pursue, is such
course as we believe will bring to
; che farmers in South Carolina such
success~as they have not known in the
recent past; and though the change
mnss come gradually it certainly will
come to all intelligent farmers sooner
or later. Our most successful farm
ers, those most independent among
Us, are such as have by their industry
and economy been enabled to pay
aud continue paying their current ex-
penses Any farmer who can live on
. scSeS5 basis" can grow rich on a
cash basis" Farmers who live on
credit knew it does not pay and are
snxSos to change, and all who have
the desire, the READ desire, for the
change can make it in two or three
yeaEs, but the course must be plan
ned assE thought and dehberation,
snd the steps taken one by one:
knowledge is power" and to grow
wise, one must scan the &elds OF OBJ
sesvation with a critical eye, select
practical subjects for consideration,
and ponder them in patience.

p0ISONIN7HEASHES
What the MT. Lebanon Shakers
FOunG-Incident in the His
tory of q Quiet Community

1he Mount Lebanon I new
York; Shakers are a quiet COM
munity, secluded from the fret
and worry of the outside world
Tbey are widely known, how
eyer, for their strict honor and
probity in business.
The Shakers believe that na-
ture has a remedy for every dis
ease. A few have been found
the rest are as yet unknown.
Many were discovered by acci-
dent. Others came to light as
the result of patient experiment
and research.
Nervous Dyspepsia is 8 COM
paratively neao disease, growing
out of the conditions Of modern
life. It is a joint affection Of
the digestive organs and Of the
nervous system. These two
were formerly treated as sepa-
rate ailments, and it was left
for the clear-sighted Shakers
to prove that the basis Of this
terrible and often fatal colnpli-
cation lies chiefly in the disord~
cred and depraved functions Of
digestion and nutrition. They
reasoned thus: :-"lf we can In
duce the stomach to do its
work, and stimulate the excre-
tive organs to drive out of the
body the poisonous waste mat
ters which remain after thelife-
giving elements of the food
have been absorbed, we shall
have conquered Nervous Dys-
pepsia and Nervous Exhaust
ion. And they were right.
Knowing the infallible power
Of Shaker Extract tSeigel's
Syrup in less complicated
though similar diseases,
they resolved to test it fully
in this. To leave 10 ground
for doubt they prescribed the
remedy in hundreds of cases
which had been pronounced In
curablc-with perfect success
in every instance where their
directions as to living md diet
were scrup,l!ous}y followed.
Nervous Dyspepsia and Ex-
haustion is & peculiarly Ameri-
can disease. TO a greater or
less extent half the people Of
this country suffer from it
both sexes and al ages. In no
country in the world are there
50 auauy insane a>> luna fllv1
to overtiowing, all resulting
from this alarming disease. Its
leading symptoms are these:
Frequent or continual head
ache; q dull pain at the base
Of the brain; bad breath; nau-
seous quotations; the rising
of sour cnd pungent fluids to
the throat; a sense of oppress-
lon and faintness at the pit Of
the stomach; tiatu!ence; wake
fulness and loss Of sleep; dis
gust with food even when
weak from the need oft; sticky
or Shiny matter on the teeth or
in the mouth, especially or ris-
ing in the morning., furred and
coated tongue; dull eyes; cold
hands and feet; constipation;
dry or rough skin; inability to
fix the mind on any labor call

and oppressive and sad fore
bodings and fears.

Syrup removes by its pos
tive, powerful, direct yet
painless and gentle action upon
the functions of digestion and

of the food that build up and
strengthen the system are sent

Anecdotes OF Edison


Even in Edison. younger days the
spirit of invention was always upper
most. One night when sunrise was al
most in order, he was found with lot
of cockroaches penned up in one corner of
his desk. He had made circuit to pass
through a channel of moisture, which
was veritable dead line for the poor
bugs Every one attempting the passage
dropped dead, and every one wa. com
PEELED to make the attempt. 1t wa. sure.
and to all appearances, a painless death.
Volts, ohms, amperes, ergs. farads,
and all the rest of the electrical technol.
ology was little heard of in those days,
and no thought was had of taking the
electrical resistance of these vermin,
which might, if recorded, play some
part in deciding the mode of death of the
Buffalo murderer. To the minds of
those who saw the execution of these
bugs. the mean. were highly etlicacious
Not more than one kick carried the bug
through into vermin fairy land. There
was little time to develop cruelty, but
that 1t was an unusual means of execu-
ton, goes without saying.
Clothes he rarely bought all his spare
money went into his inventions, The
result of his first invention, a stock tick
er, wa. that several thousand dollar.
vanished like the dew; he could mot tell
himself where.
In those days he had thought of the
electric light. One Sunday the office was
properly darkened, some wires were
strung, and after little time the bright
light burst forth under his touch, i'm
PRACTICABLE then. but in it the germ of won.
derful possibilities. A tall tiaxen haired
young man stood by at that time, who
had learned to be very expert stenog-
rapher, said nothing, but sfterward prov
ed TO be great rival of Edison's in the
production of the electric light.
The man WAS that cratic genius Saw
yer, afterwards of Sawyer Man fame.
The electric light was not ready for the
world then. Edison was to busy.
Stearns was busy on the duplex, and a.
Boston was the headquarters of his eI-
pertinent, Edison's mind bent toward the
problem of multiplex telegraphy. How
well he followed up the ideas he obtained
at that time was proved by his produc-
ton Of quadruplicate biography some
months later.
One day Edison came out as q butter
fly from the chrysalis. A new silk hat,
fine broadcloth suit, a fashionable neck
tie, polished boots, and, wonders, cane
and pair of colored kid gloves.
The same group almost to a man that
welcomed him among them years before
| gathered around him in wonder.
What Is the matter, Edison?" vent
ured one.
| The usual smile of quiet confidence lit
up his countenance As he almost conf
dentially said; Invention, boys. Inven-
ton. Get into it. There is nothing like
it," He then babe them a good-by. and
the next that was heard Of him was in Q
broader field of marvellous inventions
and growing fame until it has filed
every nook of the civilized globe.

THERE is NO DEATH.

There is no DEATH The stars 70 down
To rise upon some fairer shore;
And bright In heavens jeweled crown
They shine forevermore
There Is no death The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the SUMNER shower
To golden grain or mellow fruit
or rainbow tinted flowers,
The granite rocks disorganizo
To feed the hungry moss they ear;
The forest leaves drink daily life
From out the vewess air
There Is no DEATH The leaves may fall
Tho flowers fade and pass away
They only wait through wintry hours
The coming OF the May
There Ia no deathi An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread;

And then We call them dead"
lie leaves our heart oil desolate;
He plucks our fareSt, sweetest flowers
TranSplanted into bliss they now
Adorn immortal bowers

Made glad this scene of sin and strife,
Sings now her everlasting song
Amid tho Tree Of Life
And when he sees smile too bright
Or heart too pure for faint Of vice,
He bears 10 it that world of light
To dwell in Paradise
Born into that undylng life,
