To The Farmers.

I am prepared to sell at as
low figures for the cash as
any one, and my past record
-iswthst IS wthss.tr1 1sassaa stssals>e9p e9pq-I have
been engaged in business in
Sumter for two years, and
during that time I have done
all in my power to keep the
prices of goods at the lowest
figures, and my many Gus
toners will, I feel confident,
bear testimony to the fact.
that they have got best
goods and lowest prices from
me.
The New Year is here, and
I wish not only to retain ev-
cry old customer, but to add
a large number of new ones
this year. All I ask is a
trial. I get the lowest whole
sale figures when I buy, and
I can thus give lowest prices.
I ask every farmer who Wis
its Sumter to be sure to call
to see me. 1t will be to his
interest to do so.
And not only the farmers
but everybody. I cannot be
undersold.
Yours very truly,
FERDINAND LEVI.

Gated to the writer Of the foregoing letters.

and had their being in this community.

grandfather Of Daisy.

DEAR SIR: Accept my thanks for the
prompt answer to my inquiry about the
Daisy Robinson phenomena.
For twelve years have been preparing
book upon the Substance Of the Soul" 1t
will soon be published. have been verify
! ing the reported phenomena. You appar-
entity take scientific interest in these occult
+; subjects, and have belief l may implic-
lily rely upon your representations.
! Please answer:
l. Can the girl direct this power yolition-
ally or is it automatic?
! 2. If she can direct the power by her will
is it without bodily action, such as pntting
forth her hand toward the ;nanimate objects?
! 8, What is the effect of her power upon
organized, living objects?
; /. Any specific phenomena you report
to me will be duly accredited to you in my
book.
Very respectfully and fraternally,
We do not pretend to any theory OF opin-
ion on the Daisy Robinson case. These
phenomena are to be daily witnessed at the
house of the passive agent Of them. She
seems to take no active part III them. No
physical contact with the articles Of various
kinds that cut these queer capers is neces-
sary 20 make them perform" The agency
of the disturbance is unseen and ETHEREAL,
and entirely beyond US even to guess it.
Real philosophy seeks rather to solve than
deny. While We hear every day the small
pretenderslto science talk of the absurdity
of these manifestations, the moro erudite
knowledge is aware that the greatest discoy-
cries in science have been made through
belief in things quite rs mysterious before
their solution, and could We find ths key to
the mysterious manifestations in question
We might open the way to yet nobler acqui-
sitions. Whether these manifestations arc
the results Of power within the realm OF
na;are unknown to Us and awaiting dcval-
opmcnt by a bold and great investigator or
whether they are wholly supernatural we do
not pretend to say. But We have evidence
that cannot be controverted that the facts rs
stated by us are Of daily occurrence right
here in our midst. lis stransr, It's pass

The one man in the world who could
have prevented the assassination of Presi-
dent Lincoln is dead. John Frederick
Parker. born in Winchester, Va, came
to Washington some time before the
firing upon Fort Sumter and soon found
enploymentupon the metropolitan police
force. When in 1862 it was decided to
strengthen the regular force OF door
keepers and watchmen at the White
House with squad of policemen, Parker
was one of those selected. 1t thus hap
pened that when President Lincoln and
party entered the old Ford Theater on
the night of Good Friday, 1865, they
were accompanied by Parker as guard.
He took his position at the door to the
private box from which President Lin
coin watched the performance, where he
he was expected to remain and prevent
the entrance of every one except the
members of the party. As the play pro-
ceeded Parker from his post could hear
lust enough of what was said on the
stage to arouse his curiosity, and it was
not long before he left the door and
edged his way toward the auditorium.
He finally took seat in the orchestra,
or apit" as it was then called, where he
had scarcely settled himself when the
whole audience was surprised by the re-
port of a pistol shot. The assassin,
Booth, had stealthily approached the
door of the Presidents private box,
where, finding no one to challenge him,
he entered unannounced and fired the
fatal shot. There is no question in the
minds Of those who are familiar with the
details that had Parker remained at bis
post Booth could never have taken Presi-
dent Lincoln unawares.-I Chicago News.

No one has ever been able to give an
authentic account of how such enormous
quantities of beeswax came to be de-
posted on the beach near Nehalem.
Specimens are found along the beach in
various places, but it is most plentiful
near the mouth of the Nehalem. As the
sea shifts the bars, pieces of it are
washed ashore, and large quantities are
found by ploughing in some of the low
land near the beach. There are spots
where the sea has never reached in the
memory Of the oldest settlers, and which
are covered with a good sized growth OF
spruce, where deposits of the wax may
be found by digging. Specimens of tho
wax may be found at the house OF any
settler on the beach, and to all appear
ances it is genuine beeswax- Several
tons have been unearthed, and one man
shipped large amount TO San Francisco
once. for which he received $500 In
quality it is as good as any in the mar
ket. and has retained it's familiar odor
through all its rough usage and age. II
is supposed by some, and so stated that
it came from the wreck Of Spanish
vessel over a century ago. Others say It
came from a wrecked Chinese junk.
These traditions in regard to the wrecks
come from the Indians and are not re-
liable. 1t is possible that this beeswax
is really lost treasure" which people
are digging for on the Nehalen. Tillar

Does Massachusetts Lead I'm EducatiOn1
1t is a common impression that in edu-
cational matters Massachusetts, leads the
Union. Yet, according to DIR. Eliot, the
actual state Of things there is far enough
vet from being what it should be. he
says: @Only nine Massachusetts, high
schools tout of 23O send pupils to Har-
ward College every year. In 1889, out
of 352 persons who were admitted to
Harvard College as candidates for the
degree OF bachelor Of arts 81 Tor 271 per
cent? were prepared at free public
schools; but these schools numbered only
80. and all New England furnished but
% of them. The plain fact is in Massa-
chusetts that not one-tenth of the schools
called high habitually maintain course
of study which enables the pupil to pre-
pare himself for admission to Harvard
College, or to any other college in the
State which enforces it's requirements
for admission as stated in its catalogue.

may be called an urban State, what must
it Be in q rural onaY

DEAR SISTERS AT Van Buren, in
May last | was elected superinten-
dent of the department of Health and
Heredty, but have been unavoidably
prevented from taking it up earlier.
When we consider the relation of
health to morals we must concede this
to be an important part of our Tenn
perance work. The very name of
Hygiene suggests woman's work. The
two daughters of Esculapius, Pana-
keia and Hygeia, were no less distin-
guished than their renowned brothers
by their inventive genius and success
in relieving suffering during the Tro-
Jan war. 1t won for the latter the
proud honor among the Greeks OF the
title of Goddess of Health" We
who are the custodians of our child
ren's best interests, are in duty bound
to obey the laws of health according
to the best light we can obtain. The
work is new to me and | fear | shall
make mistakes, but will you not,
dear sisters, rally to my aid, and will
we not by our united efforts interest
the Unions SO that superintendent
shall be appointed in each-an ear
nest woman who will bring the sub
iect before the members in such a
way that all shall feel the Importance,
and will cheer me by the report of
work done. With your aid and
prayers shall feel strong to face the
difficulties that | realize will come. 1
have long prayed that woman might
take her right place, and fulfill her
high destiny, and | am sure this is
one Of the ways to that end. Yours
for humanity,
