Jumbo. ON the Situation.

MR. EDITOR Theysay that Peters wife's
mother is sick with the fever, and I am
awfully afraid she will not recover soon,
and if Peter doesn't call in medical aid at
once the old gal is bound to die out in Sep
tember if not before. Poor thing, so sick
with that fatal disease-political leprosy-
that has carried. away so many of our good
men, and will make a clean shucking of
the balance of the invalids In September.
Oh, my country, how often we would have
gathered you all under our wings and ye
would not. I think it would be well for
Peter to call in consulting physician just
at this time and let him make diagnosis
of the case. Poor old gal, am afraid she
will blink out pretty soon unless she gets
help, and that quick. Let's call DR.. B. r.
Tillman-it seems that he understands the
nature of the case pretty well, and I think
say that he has never lost single case of
this kind yet. And as DR.. Joseph Earle,
of Sumter County, is before the people, it
might be well enough to have him to call
in occasionally and take the old gals tenn.
perature; for the fever might rise up sud-
denly, and the old critter might bile oyer
and burst. Oh, my country, who can de-
liver US from office. seekers and organ
grinders Now, would advise DR.. Till
man to take.a little medicine after meals,
lust as preventative, for this political
leprosy isa contagious disease. And there
is DR.. Gen. nBratton before the people,
offering bis professional services to the
State and the surrounding neighborhood,
but don't think he will be able to get his
diploma in September, and would advise
him as a friend to retire from the medical
fraternity, for be is one of the old.time
war doctors, and war medicine don't work
off we'll in time of peace; he might do
very we'll in case Of the grip. on, my
country, deliver US from green hackers,
tramus. and such men as Tom Reed, the
Speaker OF the House in Washington.
Now, Mr.. Editor, I want to talk with
you about something else. You know
that Anderson County is said to be the
banner County in the cause Of Democracy,
which is true; but for one am getting
tired of doing the voting and the lower
Counties filling all the State Offices. Enough
of thing is enough, and I can't stand
things any longer, and if you will just
send Jumbo to Columbia he will burst the
whole thing up, or We will secede like we
did once before, if they did whip us back.
Is it possible that Anderson, Pickens, Oco-
nee nor GreenviIle havn't got a man that's
competent to make US good State official !?
can count them by the doZens-gQod men,
as good as there are in the State. Well,
what's the matter with the old political
ship of the State? The whole thing has
been run and managed by ring from the
lower Counties, and they never think of
saying turkey to the upper Counties, but it
is always buzzard, and [ for one have got
enough of this buzzard business, and let
us see to it that the name Of Gen. w. w.
Humphreys is placed on the State ticket
for Comptroller General. And now, Mr..
Editor, if the;lower. Counties will just let
us have representation on the State ticket,
and will help us send E. B. Murray to Con.
gress, Jumbo will stop quarrelling, and
everything will be CALM and serene about
Piercetown. By the way, We want the
Hon. j. p. Glenn, of Shutdown. for our
next Senator. What say you, Mr. Glenn ?
Let us hear from you at an early day. Ad-
dress Jumbo, at Piercetown. So mote it
be. Yours truly,
