The Price Of Sugar.
IEr0m BrudStEeet,S.

FTOW DTuuStfeet ).
Sugar costs only one-fourth rs much now
as it did in 1879, and tea from one-sevanth
to one-ffth. The decline shown IN the
price Of starch is prodigious, while the de-
crease in the cost of soap is fully two-thirds
ON the common and CASTLE varieties In
Short one can buy quite as much corn, or
more, for the same money as when Washing
ton was inaugurated, the same quantity of
ham, about four times as much sugar, and
more than five times as much tea, fully twen-
ty-two times as much starch, and three times
as much soap. A further comparison shows
that pig iron at SIT per ton, as at present,
costs but one-ninth as much as in 1889, and
that nails at 2 cents pound are but one
eighth or one-ninth the price credited to
them one hundred years ago. With these
comparisons in mind 1t becomes significant
to read that the average price of day labor at
the date referred to was so cents. We may
admit that the corresponding wages to-day
are S1.50, which points to the payment for
services having increased nearly three times
within the century, while many of the real
necessities of life have decreased in price
in corresponding or still greater ratio.

A Big Trial in Sumter.

Two years ago q young man from Claren-
don went to Sumter on a little trip. While
there he walked into one Of the largest stores
in the place, called for the proprietor, and,
before the sun set, took charge OF the whole
business. lie Immediately ordered S20,0 600
worth of goods from New York, and in less
than a month was running one of the largest
mercantile establishments in the town. His
rivals in business began to look at him with
alarm as they saw the rush of patronage
drift from them and concentrate at his place
Of business. The people had much to say
about him, and so great was the public ex-
ercised that it went straight to trying him,
but in the manner of the ancient Romans.
The populacc gathered themselves together
day by day, and meted out justice on every
point as the trial proceeded. The unani-
nous verdict of rich and poor, patricians
and plebeians, men, women, and children, is
that Ferdinand Levi will give you more
goods for the same money than any mer-
chant of Sumter. Clarendon do yoeg duty.

INHERITED BLOOD POISON.

How many people there are whose distress
from sores, aches, pains and eruptive ten
denotes are due to inherited blood poison
Bad blood passes from parent to child, and
it therefore is the duty of husband and wife
to keep their blood pure. This is easily
accomplished'by timely use of B. B. B.
Botanic Blood Balm). Send to Blood Balm
Co., Atlanta, for book of most convincing
proof
James Hill, Atlanta, Ga, writes: "My
two sons were afflicted with blood poison.
which doctors said was hereditary. They
both broke out in sores and eruptions which
B. B. B. promptly controlled and finally
cured completely
Mrs. S. NJ. Williams, Sandy, Texas, writes:
ssMy three poor afflicted children, who in
herited blood poison, have improved rapidly
after use Of B. B. B. 1t is Godsend."
J. R. Wilson, Glen Alpine Station, n. c.,
Feb. l3, 1885, writes: Bone and blood
poison forced me to have my leg amputated,
and on the stump there came large ulcer,
which grew worse every day until doctors
gave me up to die l only weighed l2O

A PuZZling Case.

Trial Justice Stuckey has prisoner
taken up under the vagrant act whom he
does not know how to dispose of.
On Monday last colored man reported
to Policeman Weeks that strange negro
was ID cornfeld near Ricker's town de-
meaning himself in peculiar manner and
asked that he might be apprehended.
Weeks found the negro as reported to him,
sitting out in the open field with loaded
gun in his hand. When arrested and
asked to give scme account of himself, he
showed signs of decided lunacy, and told
the officer that be was beset by an army of
opossums. He was brought to town, where,
his gun being taken from him, he was lock-
ed up in the city jug. The next morning
he was released butingered about the guard
house and refused to move off. When asked
why he did not hunt work he replied that
he did not work, but lived by begging from
the white and coiored people. He was ar
rested under warrant charging him with
vagrancy and taken before the trial justice
Witnesses were summoned who testified that
the man had been acting in the same man
ner for several months past. The prisoner
told his honor that he lived in the woods,
and carried weapons to protect him from the
'possums that were constantly menacing
him. Upon being further searched a large
fpistoAoadea ia every chamber found
on his person. He gave his name as Jonas
Frierson, and says he halls from Mechanics
vile, and that he has been wandering about
in this manner for two years. On all other
subjects he appears as sane as other people,
but can't get over the hallucination that
'possums are threatening an invasion of his
sacred person. Whether he is actually de-
mented, or whether he is one of the many
vagrant mendicants merely pretending lu-
macy, it puzzles his honor, the trial jnstice
to determine. The negro is now IN Jail.
This is the best solution of the doubt. Sun,-

seven negroes visited Isaac Massey, ftheir

chastised him by giving him five lashes each.
He was accused Of paying improper atten-

by Massey taking twelve lashes. He was

dangerous gum. Young ladies who do not

AFTERNOON SESSION.
Deaf and Dumb.

We are prone to treat the deaf and
dumb man as though he were an object of
pity; but is he?
He can walk the streets of great and
active city without having his nerves lac
Grated by multitudinous and discordant
noises.
He can live in peace and quietness on
the line of an elevated railroad, and law
yers never poster him to sue the company
for damages because his sleep i. disturbed
by the clatter of car wheels
No enc who knows him ever stops him
on the street to tell him the latest story.
Scandals are never poured into his ear
He can always turn deaf ear to the
man who wants to borrow money, and this
alone is an income in itself.
If he knows the deaf and dumb alphabet
he has all the knowledge he possesses at
his fingers ends.
If he carries slate he can put his drinks
on it if the bartender refuses to do so.
He is not compelled to talk when he
doesn't feel like it.
A female friend never asks him to hail
street car for her.
He is spared from being expected to
holler on the streets all night when cleo
ton returns are coming in.
Finally, no matter what other calamity
may overtake him. he is insured against
being talked to death.-1sras SJtings.
