Woman's influence.

Mt. EDITOR: am not in a very
self-congratulatory mood tonight, but
since you have made it obligatory for
me to write you an article for the
TINES, raise no objection however
adverse the surrounding circum~
stances. A very christian-like rule of
life, said to be a Persian proverb,
reads:
"I expect to pass through this world
but once. Any good thing I can do
or any kindness I can show to any
fellow human being, let me do it now
Let me not defer or neglect it, for [
shall not pass this way again"
heard Rev. H. NJ. Mood preach
sermon few months ago, in which
he asserted that the young man who
said che never intended to marry"
was on the way to destruction. The
next day while out shopping, was
waited on by clerk-a young bach
eIor, conscientious in all of his walks
in life, who seemed considerably i'm
pressed with Mr.. Moods assertion.
His salary would not support a
wife. To marry a girl to-day and
send her in the kitchen tomorrow
was objectionable. He had about
resolved until he heard Mr. Mood
"never to marry" Corroborating Mr.
Moods sermon, I advised him to 60
ahead and marry a good, healthy, low
ing girl; work hard and get home OF
his own and he would make better
citizen and his wife, if wife she be,
would help him to double every dol
lar he made. A few days after he in
vested in G handsome little cottage,
and at this writing he is endeavoring
to convince one of Manning's charm
ing young school-marms that a ''wo-
man that says she never expects to
marry" is on the way to destruction.
So much for Mr.. Moods sermon. Yes,
and some people are inclined to sneer
at the influence of woman for good.
Woman, they assert, is destroyer,
not an upbuilder. This is an old
fault. It is said that Demos
themes once declared one wo-
man could destroy in an hour that
which H9ould take a statesman forty
years to build! am inclined to think
it was not Demosthenes who uttered
the calumny, but Socrates, after a
family tiff with Zantippe. But how
ever that may be, you will find cynics
to-day, who, whenever a man falters
and falls, whenever he rolls in the
ditch a drunken brute, whenever a
reputedly honest man is discovered to
be a defaulter, will cry: "Ah well,
there is woman at the bottom Of it. D."
But I assert that there never was
great man, great in goodness, IN noble,
pure deeds, but owed much Of his in
spiration to a good woman. When l
see young man holding. himself pure
amid temptations of vice, a young
man battling bravely with difficulty,
Singing aside every bribe OF galntul
iniquity, resolved to win and wear the
crown of stainless manhood, l say:
"There's woman in it. A mother
whose lips still keeps his lips clean; a
sister, whom he honors, and would
not for worlds cause to blush or weep;
or it may be nearer one still and
dearer one, whom he hopes some day
to call by the ho9ored name Of wife;
but the woman, be she who she may,
is the guiding star of that young
mans life. Max.

Massachusetts claims the ancestry
of Jefferson Davis, and declares that
his father was Quaker preacher at
Rochester. Ten years ago such a
confession could not have been pulled
out of Massachusetts, with a windlass,
but when the animosities of the war
have passed away history will do
justice to the pure and lofty character
of Jefferson Davis, and the people OF
Massachusetts, will refer with pride to
the fact that the illustrious Amer
lean sprang from the stock Of the Old
Bay EdQefeld Chronicle.

It requires vigilance, courage, and
work to enforce good laws as it does
to secure their enactment. A people
who are too stolid or too cowardly or
too indolent to see that the laws are
enforced deserve the abuses that they
will surely have to bear. Let every
citizen of our great country resolve
himself into committee Of one to
promote the enforcement of law, and
let there be no discharge in this war.
Eternal vigilance is the price Of lib
erty.

The competition Of modern life is
so fierce that all must keep quick
step, or fall out OF the procession.
Even the rich who have no need 10
hurry, and the lazy to whom it is pain
full, catch the contagion of the times,
and join in the general whirl.

CHANCE FOR THE NEGRO.

a land which he will one day own and
govern. Get away from oppression and 60
where you will be free
To Colored Workingmen: In the States
Of Mississippi Arkansas, and Louisiana
there are thousands Of acres of rich lands
still unoccupled. There you can secure
homes cheap and make living with but
little work. But better still, our race is now
in the majority in many sections OF those
States, and the time is coming when We will
outnumber the whites there fifty to one
Then we will drive them ont and take pos
session of their property. The colored race
will in few years own and govern these
States Even now We are getting ready to
throw of the yoke of our oppressors, and
the great day of perfect freedom for the ne
gro is near at hand Leave this locality,
where you are miStreated and denied your
civil rights by the whites Go away from
communities where men Of your race are
living and shot like dogs by white men, and
60 where you will soon become one of the
owners and rulers Of the land.

gers for the Railroads.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. 29.-Hundreds
Of negroes are leaving this region for Miss
issippi, Arkansas, and Louisiana. The sud
den exodus is largely due to the efforts Of q
few intelligent colored men, who are sup
posed TO be the paid agents of planters in
the Mississippi bottoms or of railroad COM
pany. These men mix among the ignorant
negro laborers and distribute the following

What is Scrofula

1t is that inlpurity in the blood, which, accumu
lating in the glands of the neck, produces un-
slightly Jumps or swcllings; which causes painful
running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which
developes ulcers in the eyes, ears or nose, often
causing blindness or deafness; which is the origin
Of pimples, cancerous growths, or many other
manifestations usually ascribed to "humors."
It is more formidable enemy than consumption
or cancer alone, for scrofula combines the worst
possible features of both. Being the most ancient,
it is the most general of all diseases or affections,
for very few persons are entirely free from it.
How can it be cured? By taking Hoods Sarsa-
parilla, which, by the cures it has accomplished
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar medicine
for this disease. For all affections Of the blood
Hoods Sarsaparilla is unequaled, and some Of the
cures it has effected are really wonderful. IT, you
suffer from scrofula in any of its various forms,
be sure to give Hoods Sarsaparilla trial.

The meeting of the Black River Union at
Home Branch was we'll attended. The vet
eran preacher, Rev. H w. Mahoney, was
the only preacher in attendance until Sun
day, when Messrs. Wells and Oliver appear
ed and the former preached missionary
sermon of remarkable power.
Among the notable arrivals at the Jervey
House appears the name of R. B. Dolsey, Of
Bay City, Michigan. Mr.. .Dolsey represents
the syndicate that recently purchased the
Clarendon swamp lands. ac is here in the
interest of this mammoth enterprise, az
ranging for the establishment OF the plant
at this city for the manufacture OF the lum
Der into marketable products and the gen
eral plans for utilizing the large body OF
timber of which the syndicate has recently
become the owner.

Brownson and NJ. Woods, Superintendent
and Master of Construction, respectively,
and S. J. Pregnai, of Charleston, another
prominent official of the road, have been IN
Sumter during the past few days IN consul
tation upon the Northern extension OF the
road. 1t was determined at conference
held at the Jervey House yesterday to push
the construction of the road at once to Che
raw. Work will begin Immediately and the
Northern connection will be established In
a few months at Cheraw. The prospective
route is through Bishopville. That town
has donated ten acres Of land within the
incorporation to the company. The right,
of-way man has gone over this route, and
wrote Yesterday from Cheraw that he has
succeeded in getting from the owners the
right-of-way through all the land lnterven-
ing between this city and that town, with q
few unimportant exceptions. This lntelll-
gence was not only gratifying, but lnsures
the commencement of the work at once. MIR.
Hewlett and his party left here last night
for Charleston. Mr. Silver, the president OF
the company, arrived in this city this morn
ing. These gentlemen expressed themselves
as highly pleased with Sumter and the sur
rounding country, and predict great future
for our city.
