An Edit0r's Experience.

Major Sidney Herbert, well known
journalist in agricultural circles, writes
April 18th, 1885: Some FIVE years ago
wrote letter stating that Swift's Specific
had cured me of severe rheumatism.
Since that time I have no return Of the
rheumatic troubles, although frequently
exposed to the influences that produced
former attacks. Several of my friends
had similar experience, aud are firm in
their conviction that S S. S. brought a
permanent cure. The searching power
of this medicine, is shown in the fact
that it developed scrofulous taint that
vas conspicuous in my blood over thirty
years ago, and has removed the last
trace of il. I have also tested S. S. 3. as
tonic after severe attack Of malarial
fever, which kept me in bed for three
months, and am convinced that its cura-
tive and strengthening properties insured
my recovery from that illness, as I was
in very low condition of health.

~ Mr.. Russell Myrick of the firm of
Myrick & Henderson, Fort Smith, Ark,
says he wishes to add his testimony to
the thousands which have already been
given as to Swift's Specific. He says he
derived the most signal benefit from it's
use TO cure painful boila and sores re-.
sulting from impure blood.
When taken for few days, potash
mixtures impair the digestion, take away
the appetite, and dry up the gastric
JUICES which should assist in digesting
and assimila ting the food. swift's spe-
cifc has just the opposite effect; it i'm
proves digestion, brings appetite, and
builds up the general health.
Col. Forsyth, one of the leading
raisin producers of the United States, has
just returned to London from a careful
inspection of all tho raisin.g n.growing dis
tricts of the Continent, and says that
American raisins, in addition to supply
ing the American market, are destined
soon to take alarge share of the London
business. He says the phylloxera is con.
stantly diminishing the best crops OF Spain
in an increasing degree, and that even
ifthey should row get remedy for it,
which is not probable, it will be fvs years
before the Malags district can recover its
former position. a heavy consignment
of California raisins has been disposed Of
in London this season, being the first
shipment of the kind on record.

Two Old Codgers Meet.
Ha,rt,uu,su;sttrS; !;

Col. VIM. w. Holland, Of South Caro-.
Lima, and Hon. J JsB. Benson, of Hartwell,
were talking overEtheir school.boy days
lin Benson's store last Saturday afternoon.
They were students ofthe Manual Labor
School, four miles from Old Pendleton,
LIS. il: 1884 iagd 1885. Out Of eighty.
FIVE students, as far as they could find
out, only five are now living.
The old men told Of innocent pranks
they played. Most OF the students were
young men. The discipline vas of the
strictest old fashioned Presbyterian style.
Rev. j.. L. Kennedy, the principal, was
noted as q rigid disciplinariaD, and would
not hesitate to thrash grown young man
il he deserved it.
Among the students were q number Of
good musicians, and they occasionally
walked up to Pendleton late at night to
serenade the young ladies. About half q
mile from the school there was creek
with a steep hill down to it. One night q
serenading party had goneto town, and
.a lot of, boys with buckets worked like
beavers and, covered O portion of the
steep hillside with coating of black
swamp mud, and stretched a strong rope
across the road nearly knee.high. Re.
turning in the darkness the rope tripped
the serenaders and taey tumbled into
the black mud, with their immaculate
linen suits on. The serenaders were
sight to behold, and the involuntary
vocal music that ensued was of the most
discordant kind. The dirty victims cut
the rope into small bits,-ahd William
Holland had to buy new BEDFORD. In
those days bedsteads were corded with
36 yards Of rope, and it took as long to
cord up q bed as it does now to wind up
a Waterbury watch. Il was good joke
on the serenaders. and MI. Kennedy
never "let on" that he knew anything
about it..
The object.of the school was to learn
boys how to work. on farm. They
worked three hours every day, except
Sunday. James Clark was the farmer
and overseer. He was q kind. hearted
man, and was never known to report but
one boy, George Ross, who drove the
mule team,-he would curse them.
When brought up he told Mr.. Kennedy
that he did not want to curse, but no man
lin the world could drive that team with
out cursing.
Quite number OF the boys made sue
cessful planters, majority made preach.
.ers, lawyers, doctors and business men of
all kinds.
Labor schools should be revived. Many
.ofthe lazy, worthless young men. that are
loaGing around, if they had been taught
to work as we'll as read Latin and Greek
would now be able to support Themselves.
Look at the rich and influential men, of
the American cities More than half of
them started from the farm, poor boys,
with nothing but honesty, industry, and
economy for ther capital. Labor omnia
Yincit is not only true, but also Labor
