Many items have from time to time
been published in the newspapers
about the evil effect of cigarette smok-
ing. James A. Byrnes, 20-year-old
grandson of a wealthy gentleman OF
Terre Haute, Ind, smoked cigarettes
until he completely lost his mind and
in a fit of despondency, shot himself
in the brain, falling over dead. He
bad frequently been advised to give
up cigarette smoking, and his friends
thought he had done so. Cigarette
amokers, take warning.

EPOCH

The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks an
epoch IN the life Of the individual. Such 4
remarkable event is treasured in the memo
" and the agency whereby the good health
has been attained is gratefully blessed.
Hence it is that SO much is heard in praise
Of Electric Bitters So many feel they owe
their restoration to health, to the use of the
Great Alternative ;.nd Tonic. Il You are
troubled with any disease Of Kidneys, Liz
er or Stomach, Of long OF short standing You
will surely find relief by Use Of Electric Bit

The Confederate government was based
on sorghum. Had that species Of cane not
been introduced into this country before
the secession Of South Carolina the war
could not possibly have lasted four years.
1t is gratifying to observe that the planting
of sorghum is again coming into vogue.
The syrup is not as fine as that made from
sugar cane, but it lubricates piece Of corn
bread or wheat hoe cake in the laborer $
; cabin in q very satisfactory way, and is q
good substitute for bacon when times are
hard. No small farm should neglect to plant
patch this year.

Extract from Minutes S. G. Conference.
Rev, Abraham Net+Ies.

Died, November 9th, 1889, after an
illness OF ten days. He was born
near Summerville, S. c., June 4th,
1908, joined the South Carolina An
nual Conference at lis forty-niuth
session in Columbia, February, 1886.
He leaves wife and four grown chill
dren, three of whom reside in Clar-
endon county, and one in Texas. An
older brother survives, and only a few
weeks ago a sister died, aged eighty
seven years. Fifty-four years have
passed since he connected himself
with the South Carolina Annual Con-
ference, embracing two years in the
local ranks. For thirty-nine years he
was in the active work, but increasing 6
debility made it necessary for him to
occupy a superannuated relation 1or
the last thirteen years Of his life.
Though not educated in technical
sense, bis logical mind was well train
ed. His special intellectual strength
appeared in the force with which he
conducted an argument.
He was master of Methodist the
ology and vindicated it through many
a hard fought campaign. His mind
was clear as sunbeam, and his bow
abode in strength. He never rambled
OF scattered in his discourses, but with
point in view be reached it, with
the accuracy OF an accomplished
archer.
When be began his ministry, fifty
four years ago, Methodism in this
State was weak, poor, misunderstood,
and scattered. The South Carolina
Conference embraced South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, and a large part of
North Carolina. There were few if
any stations, and her circuits were
large and laborious, many of them
numbering from twenty-four to twen-
ty-eight appointments. 1t nee ded just
such a warrior to lead her hosts to
battle and to victory. His was the
mind, heart, and education for the
times, and his success was marked.
In the home circle all looked to him
as the principal. He was kind, ten
der, and loving.
The writer was often with him in
his last illness His faith was strong
i'll God, and the nearer he approached
the final crisis the more con6ding,
aud confident were his words,
and his last utterauces were not those
Of the vanquished, but of the victor,
and with his faith reposing in God,
he fell asleep. HENRY N. AIooD.

pay his debts, is, in our opinion, a
dishonest man.) Speaking from per-
sonal experience we have quit the
credit business now, and have made
some money since we did So We
can now afford to have Grand Gift
Distributions, and yet make money,
but we could not when we were losing
money on dead beat subscribers.
As it is with us, so it is with every
business Stop credit, and prices aoill
go doaon.
One Of the best aims of the Alli-
ance, the noblest aim, is to get men to
pay their debts, to teach them to be
honest. No Alliance man is true to
his obligation, who fails in this re-
speet- Let this one purpose be &C.
complished; let the standard of soci-
ETY. be so raised that any man who
defrauds his neighbor will be ostra-
cised, and prices viii go down. We
believe the Alliance the greatest boon
yet for the farmer and laborer, and If
this present years work will show
that no Alliance man will swindle his
neighbor or creditor; or if be does so,
that the Alliance will at once purge
themselves of him, credit, HONEST
CREDIT without liens, trusting to a
mans word of honor, will be the Or
der of the day, and love, harmony,
and prosperity will prevail. This is
the end We desire to see accomplished,
and We believe this end will be accom-
plished.
Clubs, unions, associations, and ali
suca have a tendency of bringing
men together, of making them feel
more interested in each other, of en-
forcing the idea that all men are mu-
tually interdependent, of helping each
one to understand his neighbor, oi
drawing men closer together, and this
alliance of farmers will be of great
good.
. But we have digressed from what
we started to write about. Show The
preference to the home merchant, and
keep as much money at home as pos.
sible, if by allowing him reasonable
profit we can do so. If, however, the
merchant charges too great profit
tell him you can do better, and buy
elsewhere. We believe our home
merchants viii do as well as any 9th.
ers, but there is a test, and every
man with the cash can make thai
test.

The Atlanta Constitution says the
population of that city, according to
the now complete returns in the city
directory Office, is over $1,000, against
77,677 last year, and $1,000 in 1880.
This remarkable growth in population
causes the Constitution to indulge in
big expectations, and ltpredicts that in
1900 Atlanta will have population Of
100000.

PATRONIZE HOME.

Some people think that anything
bought away from home is better and
cheaper than if bought at home.
Others have a dislike of buying at
home, simply because they think ii
looks and sounds bigger to have il
said that they buy everything of
Others, and they are very few, buy
away from home, because they actu,
ally find it cheaper to do so. This
last class is very small.
It pays to buy at home and to pat
ronize home industries. The home
merchant makes his profit it is true,
we expect him to do so, but even with
his profit, if he is the right kind of a
business man, he can afford to sell the
goods almost as cheap as they can be
bought abroad, make fair profit for
himself, and yet We shall pay but a
fraction more than if we had bought
away from home. Our merchants
are great convenience, and We ought
to take that into consideration. They
invest their money, and must have a
profit On it. They keep on hand
many things that we could not well
send off for, in fact the merchant is a
necessity in every neighborhood.
But the merchant must, of course,
keep in reason in his profits. If he
makes too great profits, some ways
and means must be enforced to bring
him within reason. This is the po
sition OF the Farmers Alliance. They
claim, and with reason, too, that the
merchant has taken advantage Of
their necessities, and oyercharged
them and ground them down to the
earth. But is the merchant altogeth-
er to blame in this matter? Does he
not know that there are men, who, if
they can will swindle him? Isit not a
well known fact that great many
men in the State, yes, in Clarendon
county, who will not pay, if they can
avoid it9 We venture the assertion
that any and every merchant in tie
county can produce q list of such
dead beats. We have been in the
county OF Clarendon for little more
than seven years, and we have in our
Office a list of about four hundred
such men. Some Of them 'stand
well" too, but not with rs, or with
any other business house who has ev-
er trusted them. Now these losses
from bad men must be made good by
good men. Tie honest men must
pay the losses. (We use the word
honest advisedly. Any man, who,
