Jumbo on the Present Situation.

Mr., EDITOR: Jumbo again seats HIM
self to drop you and your many readers q
few lines, to let you know that everything
in and around our growing city is quiet,
calm and serene. Cotton and corn crops
are good, and the farmers are busy pre-.
pairing to take care of the feecy staple.
Politics has cooled down, and Peters
wife's mother is now convalescing, and
Jumbo thinks with good care and nurs.

feet again. But Peter is now down him.
self with that fatal disease-political lep-
rory-caught it from his wifes mother.
Oh, my country, who can deliver US from
County caucuses and four or i've men
who are trying to manage and run the po-
litical affairs Of the County. You know,
Mr.. Editor, that Jumbo and Josh Ashley
declared themselves candidates fer the
Legislature, but the little County caucus
said that Jumbo was too large, and would
be too expensive to the State to pay
freight on him to Columbia and back
home. There was 1443 men in the County
that said MIR. Ashley WAS suitable man
to represent Anderson County in the Leg
islature. Jumbo says that be is not at all
uneasy that be will come in all right in
the general election, when all the big
Offices and n On has to be voted for. You,.
know, Mr.. Editor, that the good book
says that the first shall be last and the
last first, aud that many are called but
mighty few are chosen. So you see
that Jumbo is sure to be elected, because
be has the Bible to sustain him in his
belief. Three cheers for Jumbo, and
down with the rings, cliques, trusts. mo-
nopolies and the little County caucuses.
Now. Mr.. Editor, would like to know
just how this disease-political leprosy-
affects man. Does it affect mans
brain, or his legs, or is it, something like
the ven-years1itch 2. I do believe that
Jumbo has strong symptoms of the dis
ease, forever since the primaries he seems
somewhat depressed and has sorter of a
.down-troden. look-he looks just like he

they are turned out, and some one elected

Oh, my country, my bleeding country,
who can deliver us from snakes, Green
hackers and every poisonous reptile that
crawls upon the face Of the earth. How
often we would have gathered you all
under the, farmers wings, but ye would
not.
Your devoted friend until death,

The prolonged wet weather has caused
the cotton to be injured in low places.
Not great deal been gathered yet.
Some are not through with fodder, and
the weather is SO unfavorable that they
are prone to let it remain on the stalk.
We don't usually make two good crops
in single year, but if NE desire, We may
gather two this year. Our old poor fields
are producing grass like bottom land. So
rich and productive does our.land appear,
that fifteen, eighteen, and even twenty
dollars per acre, has been offered and
refused. It does seem to us that it did
take the people q long time to find where
the best place ia. Some of our neighbors

Human Frailty.

We are frail creatures physically-the most
robust among us. The unhealthy man or
woman is in great measure incapable OF
benefit to society. If, for instance, bilious
ness, q trouble of frequence and often OBJ
stinately resistant of ordinary medication,
obstructs the harmonious action of the liver
and the bowels, the sufferer is sure to be dys-
peptic. The three dsordered conditions are
sure to be confirmed by neglect. Under the
erroneous impression that there Is no hope
for him, an impression in all Likelihood con-
firmed by the use of Objectionable remedies,
the sufferer is apt to become neglectful, nay,
even reckless, and that the sooner he is re-
moved from the sphere of human endeavor
the better for all parties concerned. What a
series of mistakesl His liver is responsible.
1t is an incorporate part of himself. How dis
cipline 1t? By the aid of Hostetters Stomach
Bftters, a certain medium for the re establish
ment of united, regular action in the stomach,
liver and bowels. 1t also cures and prevents
malarial rheumatic and kidney troubles.
