Some of the republican organs say that
Mr. Blaine is feeling very small; that he

Blaine is not the kind of man who would
consent to play second fiddle, and if he
remains in the Presidents cabinet four

Wonderful Restoration of a Paralyzed
 Arm by Dr. Morrow.

There is certainly something wonder ful about the power for healing the sick possessed by DR. MERROw, of No. 1l5 Fairfield avenue. Wonderful from the fact that in but very few cases, simply by an application of magnetic power. the ''sick are made whole.' Happening in the doctors office one day this week. the writer there had an opportunity of wit messing examples of this wonderful power. Mrs Hester Burton, living on Campbell street, who told us that she had not used her arm for two years, ap- piled to DR. MERROw for relief, and in less than 15 minutes she was enabled to not only move her arin readily, but easily lifted articles, which she had been unable to do before. \ Mrs Brown said she had been troubled with dyspepsia and indigestion. Everything she ate gave her distress, She had applied to q number of physicians, who endeavored to relieve her, but none seemed to do her any good. About a week ago she appii- ed to DR. MERROw, ,who, to her astonish- ment, told her that she was troubled with tape worms. This was startling information. But she was assured by the doctor that such was the fact, and was astonished when DR. MERRow, in a very few minutes, removed from her q tape worm 97 feet s inches long; to day the lady is enjoying good health. This worm may be seen at the doctors office at any time. And thus it is, without any excitement, without any noise,' DR. MERRow is healing the sick and making hundreds happy. The doctors charges are very reasonable, his consultations being free, enabling the poor to obtain relief as well as the rich. So large has the doctors practice become that he has been obliged to secure Dr Davis, of the Eye and Ear hospital, New York, to as sist him at Bridgeport.

SHOOTING PRISONERS.

When q penitentiary guard or a

shoots an escaping prisoner, in nine
ty-nine cases out of a hundred it is
morally (and legally, too, if the laws

jury may bring in verdict OF CHILLED
IN the official discharge of his duties"
but it is murder nevertheless. Any
law officer who shoots an escaping
prisoner, should be tried and convict.
ed for the oEense. The pistol is used
entirely too freely in South Carolina.
We need q change. A prisoner should
be so secured as to prevent his escsp-
ing, and if an opportunity for escap-
ing should present itself to the pris-
oEer, the negligent officer of the law
should not try to cover up or remedy
his carelessness by killing his prison.
er, who, in the case OF arrests by
constables and policemen, has not
even been tried and convicted OF any
CRIME. The law allows any and full
means and methods for securing prls-
oners who have been arrested, but 1t
gives no authority to kill, except it be
in self-defense.

Will assuredly perch high on their,

for q few cents, but it is a grand tight
for principle, fight to overthrow a
soulless corporation that would fatten
on their hard labors. The bagging
trust will be smashed, and with it will
go down many other similar oppres-
sive trusts. Oae thing at a time
though is best, but with the jute bag
ging trust completely overthrown this
year, next year the sugar trust and
other monopoIes will either throw
up the sponge, or else be crushed out
1t is only necessary for the farmers to
act as unit, and there is no trust or
combination on American or European
soil that can withstand them. AS we
said above it is a grand fight, and all
the world is looking on for the result
with q deep and breathless interest.

Several resolutions were passed. When

went up shout, thus expressing their
love for their old commander. After
dinner Capt. Bradham attempted to
make a speech, but failed. His sub
ject was too near the hearts of the
old veterans. and they all had good
time in tears, feeling nearer and dear

COTTON BAGGING.

The Alliance is bound to win. In

cred with cotton bagging, and the Al

nothing else but cotton bagging. Ben

Alliance, who is now visiting the Cot.

and you will see that Liverpool will be glad

world.
South Carolina is not so we'll Or

Complete and satisfactory arrange

the various cotton exchanges, but be-
fore the war is over tue London snd
Liverpool exchanges will be glad
enough to get cotton in any form and

coming to the cotton fields, and if the

pers in their comments upon the 9cent
shooting by the Penitentiary guard Of a
prisoner who was attempting to escape, haze
treated the matter as if the convict had been
shot upon the individual yolition of tho
guard.
It appears, however, that by rule, as old
as the Penitentiary itself, the guards are
compelled to shoot at conyicts attempting
to escape. Section i of '.An Act to provide
for the establishment of Penitentiary,
Statutes at Large, 1876, page 36e-6S, pro,
vides. among other things, that sit shall be
the duty Of his Excellency the Governor to
make all such regulations as shall be requi-
site for their (the convicts) safekeeping and
subsistence. etc., etc.
Under the authority thus given Governor
James L. Orr established the ''rules and reg.
ulations for the discipline and government
of the South Carolina Penitentary," dated
April Is, 1867, and the superintendent Of
the Penitentiary is charged with their rigid
enforcement.
Paragraph II of the section of these "rules
and regulations" relating to the duties Of
the prisoners" is as follows:
eff any prisoner attempts an escape from
the yard or guard he shall, if possible, be
ordered to halt, and on failing to do so he
must be shot by the guard. The prisoners
are forbidden to 60 near the fence, and any
violation of this rule will be considered an
attempt to escape"
The whole section relating to the "auties
of the prisoners" is read and carefully ex-
planned to every prisoner who is received at
the Penitentiary, and any Of them who at
tempt to escape do so with full knowledge
of the consequences.
More than this: Each guard upon enter
ing upon service at the Penitentiary is made
to give pledge that he will observe these
rules and regulations, and copy of them
is furnished to him to be memorize6. It
thus appears that both prisoners and
guards know what must be the result Of
on the part of eonvicts to escape.
and that the regulations have the force and
of law.
It does seem hard that man should, un-
der certain conditions, forfeit his life by m
attempt to escape, and those desirous Of
ehecting reform in this matter can, no
doubt, present q strong case. to the Legisla-
ture when it assemblies. But until some
legal change is made prisoners who make
s'breaks for liberty" will continue to be
fred at.
