4 Large Commercial Deal.

There has been an unusual strin-
gency in the money market in the
North. Lenders were asking as much
as Eve per cent. per month for their
money on Wall street. The cause of
this unusual stringercy is that owing
to the fact that the weather up North
has been very mild, so much so that
manufacturers of clothing, dry goods,
shoes, etc, have been unable to dis
pose of the vast amount of goods on
hand, and as a natural consequence
the manufacturers were forced to go
out on the money market and borrow
money in order that their paper could
be met in bank. A great many were
unable to obtain all the money they
needed to save their paper. The re-
suit was that they were compelled to
unload their stocks at a sacrifice. They
were forced to sell for whatever they
could get, and thereby save themselves
from financial crash. It is said that
ss'tis an i'll wind that blows no
good" and this unfortunate state of
affairs at the North is going to prove
very fortunate for the customers of
the Levi Brothers at their mammoth
establishment in the city of Sumter.
The Lewis ever on the lookout for
bargains, and having the necessary
capital to accomplish a large drive,
took advantage of this opportunity
and invested a large sum of money in
the very latest styles of dry goods,
fancy goods, ladies' novelties, clothing,
shoes, hats, groceries, and in fact the
best assorted stock of goods that can
be found at this season of the year in
any establishment this side Of Charles
ton. The Lewis have made this in
vestment because they know that the
farmers OF Clarendon and Sumter
have changed their mode of doing
business. Instead of the old-fashion
way of giving a lien on their crop,
they have made their arrangements in
business-like manner by obtaining
the cash, and thus purchasing where
ever they see fit, and from the house
that sells them the cheapest. This has
been the inducement for this large
investment, for knowing as business
men that competition is great, and in
order to keep ahead in the CONNER
-.,;;,,l raoe fhet is now being run, they
made this great outlay, and propose
to give the farmer the benefit. They
claim that they can sell goods cheaper
than any house in Sumter, and Still
make reasonable profit.
Now is the time to lay in your sup
ply of such goods as you need, be-
cause when goods are sold cheap they
keep moving, and with such salesmen
as the Lewis they will not be on hand
very long.

Use Litter for Fertilizers.

BONANZA, Feb. i0.-The past week we
had the privilege Of visiting Foreston, and
then to go in an opposite direction from
here some fifteen miles or more. We were
struck with what we saw on all sides. The
plows are at work; log-rollings on every
hand. We believe there will be more new
land brought into cultivation this year,
than we ever knew of in one year. Every
one seems to be up and doing. With any
thing like an ordinary season, this will be
year Of good crops.
We saw more litter hauled and being
hauled than ever before, or ut least since
daddy" used to haul it in the days before
commercial fertilizers came into use, in the
good old days you know. Mr.. Editor, We
like this litter (compost) fertilizer, not be-
cause daddy" used it, but because common
sense and cheapness recommend it, and it
is more permanent in its effect, SO we take
the activity in this line as a good omen Of o
brighter future So mote it be. c.

OUR IMPOTENT LAWS.

OUR IMPOTENT LAWS.
We have several times alluded to
the weakness, the impotence, OF our
State laws, and it is this fearful weak
ness that causes so much exercise OF
lynch law. A man, if he or his
friends can only raise enough money,
may steal, burn, outrage, sell wh'skey'
murder, or commit any crime in the
statutes, without fear of harm from
our poor, weak, State laws.
In the case of selling whiskey we
are told that there are score or
more OF country stores in this county
that sell wbiskey. They pay s25 for
a United States license, and have no
fears that the county commissioners,
grand jury, or any other officers will
molest them. Such course OF pro-
ceeding, to say the least of it, Is an
outrageous shame upon the decency
and manhood Of the county, and an
outrage upon those who do pay the
license. We are unequivocally oppos-
ed to the sale and the use of whiskey
in any of its forms, but at the same
time We want to see justice and right
prevail The two barrooms in this town
are the only places in the county where
whisky can legally be sold as a bev-
erage. They each pay sS75 for the
privilege Of selling whiskey, and yet
any little crossroads country shanty
can by paying twenty-five dollars for
8 United States license sell with i'm
punity. The county commissioners
collect $10o each from the Manning
bars, but nothing from the county
bars. Is there any justice in this?
The members of the grand jury
undoubtedly hear of these rumors,
and the public will await with much
interest to see with how much spinal
ity the grand jury Of 1890 will dis
charge their duty in this respect.
On last Saturday, in Cincinnati, Judge
Kinnler divorced eleven couples.
Hugh Graham, discharged en-
ployee Of Post Master General Wan
namaker, has brought suit for dam
ages amounting to $4,000.
On last Wednesday morning at
Orangeburg, a steam mill boiler be-
longing to Smith & Dantzler, explod-
ed and instantly killed Elijah Clemons.
Ex-Governor Chamberlain in his
speech before the Boston Reform
Club on Sunday denounced the
wholesale robbery of the treasury 60
ing on under the name of pension
bills.
Saturday last at Wilmington, Del,
as result of court week, the sentence
of sixteen men were executed by q
public whipping. The culprits were
all thieves, and the whipping took
-pssce IN driving rain storm.
The Democratic members of the
Montana Legislature, in order to pre-
vent the Republicans from passing
measures against their interests have
crossed over the State line, thereby
checking the wheels of legislation.
In Camden, Feb. 9Th, James Doug
las, white man, was acquitted OF a
most horrible charge, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the wife and daugh-
ter testified as to the truth of the
charge against him. The jury, how
ever, believed that the wife and
daughter made up their stories in Or
der to put Douglas out of the way.

Dyspepsia

Makes many lives miserable, and often leads to
self destruction. Distress after eating, sick head
ache, heartburn, sour stomach, mental depres-
sion, etc, are caused by this very common and
increasing disease. Hoods Sarsaparilla tones tho
stomach, creates an appetite, promotes healthy
digestion, relieves sick headache, clears the
mind, and cures the most obstinate cases of dys-
pepsia. Read the following:
at have been troubled with dyspepsia. had
but little appetite, and what did eat distressed
me- or did me little good. In an hour after eating
would experience faintness or tired, all-gone
feeling, as though I had not eaten anything.
Hoods Sarsaparilla did me an immense amount
of good. It gave me an appetite, and my food
relished and satisfied the craving had previously
experienced. 1t relieved me Of that faint, tired,
allgone feeling: I have felt so much better since
took Hoods Sarsapa-illa, that am happy to
recommend it." G. A. PAGE, Watertown, Mass.

Some OF our neighbors have just
taken the grips some are standing
around talking and others have gone
to farming in good earnest.
Our friend Mr.. r. B. HarteF has
left the sunfoWer State and gone to
Michigan again. We feel sorry that
so many of our farmers have got the
go fever. A child thinks fire is beau
tiful but you just let it get burned
and then It is satisfied, and that is
what we think about people leaving
Kansas, they get away and get badly
burned and then are willing to come
back and be cOntented.

Now, we understand that the Alliance Is not
what may be called farmers movement, but
since combining with other organizations. its
members represent all or many of the different
EOcatiOns. Arc we correct: We ask simply for
information, Mr.. Dague, as we see you write very
intelligently on the subjcct.-Logan Republican.
Our understanding is that the
Farmers Alliance is distinctively a
farmers society, though they may
under some conditions admit to mem
bership, mechanics, school teachers,
physicians, and ministers of the Cos
pei. But by reason of the union Of
the Alliance and the Knights of La
Dor, the two organizations become as
one except they maintain separate
working societies. If the editor of
the Republican would apply to j. 7
Dunning or some other officer of the
society he would probably be furn-
ished with a copy of the constitution.
