To the People of Clarendon.

T am daily receiving an immense
stock of spring goods, bought direct
rom first hands and at the manufac-
turers' lowest prices, which are offered
to the purchasing public at tempting
prices, and stand ready to convince
any reasonable man or woman that
there is no house in Sumter or Clar-
endon that can uudersell me this
spring. This assertion is made because
# has been my special business to
purchase my spring goods with an eye
single to capturing the trade OF the
large number of farmers that nave
made their arrangements to buy this
wear for cash, and I have made up my
mind to offer special inducements to
the people, and put a stop to their
Going to other towns to trade.
Q Instructions have been issued to my
clerks not to allow a dollar to leave
NV store if it is possible to prevent
it, and any person desiring to buy tor
cash will have prices guaranteed them:
I have bought the largest and best
assorted spring stock that has been
BOUGHT by me in many years, simply
because ! am confident that there is a
disposition among the people OF Clar-
endon to patronize their county seat
| if the proper inducements are oHereo
ona +bie desire T am thoroughly
prepared to crafty.
Therefore, a cordial invitation is
extended to every person in the coun'
ty to call and examine my new goods
| lust being opened, consisting oi all
the latest styles of !la:.aies' dress goods
prints, sateens, ginghams, chevlots
&c, India linens, mulls, Persian anG
victoria lawns, batistes, and in fact al
kinds of white goods, also mos,
beautiful line of embroideries ano
aouncings, long cloths of all brands
etc. If lady can be pleased in any
store she certainly can be at mine
this spring. 7 have also been exceed
ingly careful in selecting fine line o:
ladies', gentlemen's, and children
shoes. I have grown tired OF hearing
complaints about the Manning shos
stock, and determined to correct the
evil by placing upon my shelves the
very best shoe that could be found II
market, and can safely say that
now have the best shoe that has eve
been displayed in this town. ~; NJ!

ILLICIT WHISKEY SELLING.

Our editorial last week on 'Onr
Impotent Laws" seems not to have
been written in vain. Laws are OF
value only SO far as they are enforced
and as they are sustained by the SEN
siment of the people. For years the
sentiment of this county has sustained
the Illicit sale of whiskey. It was an
open secret, known alike to county
officers, petit iuries, grand juries' trial
justices, and plain citizens, that whis-
KEY was sold. Occasionally, we ought
to have said semi-occasionally, some
Door fellow having incurred the illwlll
of a former boon companion, would
be indicted for the ofense, but these
we're rare cases, and did not express
the sentiment of the county. But we
hope change is at hand.
Summerton, noted for its high
moral influence and principles, has IN
3 mass meeting of its citizens assem-
bled, said that Illicit whiskey-selhng
shall cease, and we believe the citizens
Of Summerton are honest in this ex'
preston of opinion. They have, as
stated in s communication elsewhere
reported two firms for the illicit sell
ing of whiskey, and it will now de
pend on the jury, as to what disposl
tien shall be made OF the cases. Ane
the citizens of Summerton are not ye
done with this matter, or should no
be done with it. Inless than hundred
miles from Summerton, if rumor i
correct, there are half dozen othe'
qohste men, not to say anything Of ne
groes who are engaged in illegal.
selling whiskey.
We say to the people OF Summer
ton, God speed you in your goo'
work; keep vigilant eye for the la'
breakers; and without fear or favol
with an eye single to justice, do you
duty. You are right; engaged in
noble cause; and will receive tn
merited well-done Of every good an
honest citizen.

the Alliance Il Blessing.

The farmers, says an exchange, are derlv-
ING great benefit from the Alliance. 1t has
saved them in Georgia 100000 in single
year on the purchases of fertilizers. 1t has
lowered the cost of almost every article they
used, food, clothing, farm implements,
wagons, buggies, and even the few luxuries
that Georgia farmers have been able to enjoy
1t has taught the farmers the use OF the
most powerful weapon in the struggles Of
peace and war-co-operation. Divided, they
were the easy prey Of the monopolistss. and ma
trusts, but united in a phalanx 4,OOO,OOO
strong with one wing resting on the shores
of Maine, the other on the Pacific coast, the
farmers have become power.

Alliance Politics.

The Cotton Pbud says: "If anybody im-
AGNES that because the Alliance is not a
political organization its members propose
to take no notice OF political matters, he will
discover that he has badly mistaken the
purpose and principles Of the order. One
Of the highest duties Of an Alliance man is
to look well to his political rights and priv
ileces, and this duty is being thoroughly
instilled. The order will not so into poll
tics, but its members will go to the polls at
the primaries and at the general elections.
And they will know the men who best repre-
sent their interests, and they will vote &C,
cordinsly. That much can be depended

TgE FARMERS MEETING.

Tn another column will be found
call for 8 meeting Of the Clarendon
county Farmers Association, to be
held in Manning the first Monday IN
March. The call is in response TO
the ashell Manifesto to elect dele
gates to attend a farmers meeting IN
Columbia next month.
Two years ago the farmers took
decided stand in election matters, but
too late to have any material ehect on
the result. This year with a complete
organization the farmers have 1t IN
their power, not only to hold the bal
apce Of power, but in fact to control
the entire election. They do not pro-
pose working out Of the Democratic
ranks for they themselves are the
Democratic party, numbering about
n;ne-tenths of the entire party in this
State.
BEN Tillman has done great good;
has put the farmers to thinking; mas
indirectly been the cause of arouslng
the people from their lethargic state
into a powerful, influential, and bene-
eo;o, orcon;zet;on the Farmers ALI
snce; and he deserves great credit tor
the good he has accomplished by ms
revolutionary principles and WORK:
bat whether his noble work should be
rewarded with the high Office OF Gov
ernor of State is to be determined
by the farmers of this State. We 90
not believe that he would lower the
dignity OF the Office, nor are We pre-
pared to say that he is the best man
for the position.
We published two weeks ago Tue
address of Mr.. Shell; last week we
published extracts from a number OF
our State exchanges, commenting on
this address. We have talked with
several prominent gentlemen in this
county, all members of the Farmers
Alliance, and while they disapprove o.
a good many things in the Shell ad'
dress, yet they say good will pfoOao!'
come of the State meeting, and it l:
proposed to send delegates to thf
meeting. As will be noticed in Pres
ident DesChamps's call, 'all farmer
of Clarendon county" are invited t'
attend this meeting.
Let every farmer in the county
who can possibly attend, come to tn
meeting, and before that time let then
give the matter careful attention an
due consideration. Let every ste!
taken be such that those opposed t

Yention, the chief aim of the count
meeting, let the very best men

views.

Leaving out OF the calculation, un- u
ssssonsbIe weather, disasters and 9th
er matters beyond human control, it IS
safe to say that anything which has
real merit; for which there is need,
or want; or for which want can be
created; and which sells at a reasona,
bic price, can be prodtably advertised
in the newspapers.

A Cold Baptism.

About 1000 people congregated
along the banks of the Delaware River
at Burlington. Sunday afternoon, to
witness the baptismal ceremonies con-
Quoted by Rev. ). B. Randolph, pastor
of the Second Baptist Church. The
adjacent house tops and other build
ings we're also crowded with spectators.
-Four persons were baptised, two
women clothed in white, and two mem
who wore black robes Large cakes
of floating ice had collected along the
shore, which were removed with boat
hooks, to enable free access to the
water. The service began by singing
a familiar hymn, the thropg joining
in with great fervor. When the candi
dates entered the water to their waists
they were visibly affected by cbilliness,
and professed their vows in loud, shrill
tones.

Mckee City, colored capitalist of
that name from Philadelphia having
bought large tract of land there, and
inaugurated novel and highly meri-
torious scheme for the benefit of his
people, exceeding the traditional
forty acres and a mule" Mr.. Mckee
has laid out the land in fifty acre
tracts, and upon application satisfac-
torily endorsed, will build on each
tract comfortable house and the
necessary outbuildings. He will lease
the tract for five years free of rent,
stipulating that the tenant shall clear
and cultivate five acres per year, and
further agreeing if the tenant is faith
full, to renew the lease for five years
more on the same terms, and then sell
it on easy terms to the occupant, if he
so desires.

A Liquor Store.

A Bridgeton man will soon open a
liquor store in this city. Ir is said
that the store in Mrs. Louis Calls
building on North Laurel street, has
been rented for the liquor establish
ment. 1t will be opened on the 18th
of March. The manner in which the
business is to be conducted is to i'm
port all the liquor, upon which he pays
duty, and every bottle will bear the
Government seal. These seals will not
be broken by the retailer. The goods
come in quarts, pints and half-pints.
1t is claimed that there is no law which
will prevent this kind of sale. A man
in Maine has been carrying on such a
business, and has had number of law
suits, but in each case he won the law
on his side. Such place would be
something entirely new for Bridgeton,
and if the law will not stop the sale,
there will be a decidedly lively bust
ness in this locality.

Shot IN the Head.

Wednesday night Enos Glaspell, the
n. Laurel street butcher, was driving to
his home in Greenwich, when passing
the Broad street Cemetery, he noticed
some young fellows, wearing the uni
form of the West Jersey Academy
cadets, loading gun. A moment later
a large buckshot crashed through a
curtain of the wagon in which he was
riding, striking him in the head
back of the left ear. giving him a
stinging blow. Mr.. Glaspell could not
stop as his horse would not stand.
Such deviltry or care)essness upon the
part of the boys cannot be excused.
Such capers may sometime cost some
one life. Be careful with fire arms,
even when you don't think they are
loaded" Mr.. Glaspell has stood up to
be shot by the Johnny rebs in the late
unpleasantness, but he strongly OBJ
jects to being made target of for
young play soldiers to shoot at.

Lacking Qualities.

Bridgeton's one great and long-felt
want, according to the Weekly Chron-
scle, is live daily newspaper, and this
is how it intimates the situation might
be met; I'VE have the name, as we'll as
the right editor and business manager
now all we want is large financial
backing, and we will promise South
Jersey newspaper that will lead in
everything and follow in none." Hav-
ing the name, editor and business
manager, it is surprising that no Cum
berland county capitalist has ere this
been found willing to furnish the e''large
financial backing" necessary to the de-
velopme1t of the project. But perhaps
the Chronicle people are lacking in the
right sort of devils" and newsboys to
warrant the investment.-Cd Camden

Board of FreehOlderS.

The court of common pleas held a.
special session Saturday afternoon,

Stratton of Millville, being present.
Judge Hendee was absent on account
of sickness. The court was held for
the purpose OF dividing the Board Of
Freeholders in accordance with the
requirements of the law recently
passed by the Legislature.
After the court was opened by Crier
Young, Judge Hoagland announced
that Cumberland county was of the
Third class; the law provides that the
Board of Fr+ehoIders should be divi-
ded into three divisions, the members
of one of which should be elected for
one year, and of another for two years
and the third division for three years.
Cumberland County Board was com
posed OF nineteen members; this would
make two divisions of six members
each, and one of seven members.
The court decided to make the first
division composed of seven members
to be elected for one year; the second
division of six meM bere, to be elected
for two years, and the third division of
six members, to be elected for three
years. The court then made three
drawings, Judge Stratton drawing
the townships and wards.
The first seven drawn, composing
the first division, for which the mem
bers must be elected for one year,
were:-The First ward of Millville
Maurice River, Deerfield township
Commercial township, Downe town.
ship, Lawrence township, the Third
ward of Bridgeton.
The second division drawn were the
six townships and wards as follows, the
members of which must be elected to-
morrow for two years:-First ward of
Bridgeton, Hopewell township, First
ward of Miliville, Fourth ward of
Bridgeton, Stoe Greek township, Third
ward of Millville.
The Third division, the members of
which will be elected for three years,
came out as ollows:-Borough of
Vineland, Second ward of Millville,
Fairfield township, Lands township,
Second ward of Bridgeton, Greenwich
township.
A certificate of the action of the
Court was drawn up and signed by the
Court, and ordered filed in the Clerk s
office, and Court adjourned.
