OAKLAND, September 4.-Clarendon Coun.
ty Union Sunday-school Convention con.
vened this morning at this place. A major.
ity Of the Sunday-schools in the county

disagreeable weather. This convention

and Methodist meetings, which were at
that time occupying the attention of the
people of this section The business Of the
convention was completed in one day, and
it was decided that there should be address
es made the next day. Nearly all of the old
officers were reelected for another year.
The next convention will be held at Jordan

welcome the convention adjourned.

CLEANsEs THE WHOLE SYSTEM.

CLEANSES THE WHOLE SYSTEM.
During the last half century there
has been wonderful Development in
what is known as sanitary science. 1t
is science that looks to the preyen-
tion of diseases in communities
through the medium of cleanliness,
and it commends itself most urgently
to the common sense of the people.
Meanwhile, it should be borne in
in mind that the human system stands
in need of sanitation, and requires
even more care than the municipal
body. 1t is precisely here that s.S.S.
takes up the work of the sanitary SCI
entists. It cleanses the whole system,
purifes the blood, disinfects the chan
nels through which it flows, and de-
stroys the germs of disease. 1t is a
harmless medicine, and yet a most
powerful one. It is natures tonic
remedy.

The following purports to be the
main features of a circnlar issued by
Col R. NJ. Humphrey, general super
intendent of the colored farmers Al
lance:
Whereas, the planters and spectators
above mentioned are firm in their demand
that you pick at starvation wages as offered
by them, and leave your families to suffer
fearful consequences, placing to your &C
count the present low price of their cotton;
And, whereas, above six hundred thous-
and plckers already have bound themselves
together IN sacred covenant to pick no cot
ton for anyone except their own before
about November l, at less than one dollar
per one hundred pounds, with board;
And, whereas, your success depends up
on your united action, now
Therefore, !, 3. n. Humphrey, by virtue
OF authority IN me vested, do issue this, my
solemn proclamation, being the 18th day Of
September, 1891. it being Saturday, as the
day upon which all our people shall cease
from and absolutely stop picking cotton,
except their own, and shall pick no more
before about November l. unless their Just
demands for wages shall be sooner acceded
to by planters and others interested.
Col Humphrey is originally from
This county, born and reared within a
few miles of this town, but If it is
true that he did issue the above cir
cular, he should be stigmatized as a
villain of the deepest dye. No words
in the English language can be found
that viii express sufficiently the con-
tempt we have for the man that will
deliberately pen such dastardly
edict against the people of his own
race.
The heart that pulsates with such
damnable infamy would not hesitate
to go out under the cover of night to
commit murder and arson; nor would
soch man hesitate to unearth the
ashes of his dead father and mother
and sell them for few dollars and
cents
It is just such characters that keep
the colored people in a state of dis
content. They advise them to do
what they themselves are too coward
" to attempt, and when they find the
poor, ignorant wrctches have gotten
into trouble, they crawl away like
sheep-stealing dogs, and leave them
to extricate themselves from the
trouble as best they can.

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out,
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
lion, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but en- iudamed condi-
tion Of the mucous surfaces.

A Colonel by Marriage.

A traveller in Texas says that he
was riding along a cattle trail near
the New Mexico line when he met q
rather pompous looking native of the
region, who introduced himself as
Colonel Higgins, of Devils River.

crate army?" asked.
'No, sah."

"No, sab; never was in no wah."

of colonel?"

A Big Tempest in a Little Teapot.

In connection with two other items
in our issue Of Aug. 26th, we publish
ed the following paragraph, under the
heading of Foreston News:
A case of assault was tried yester-
day at Foreston before Trial Justice
Cantey. John Wilson, who is about
fourteen years old, was attacked on
the street by Cadet Tom Sparks, who
is year Or two older, and was given
beating. One of the witnesses also
testified that he saw pair of knucks
in Sparks's possession. AS the case
had a pretty ugly appearance, the
trial justsce fined young Sparks fifty
dollars or thirty days. An appeal
was taken from the decision of the
trial justice. It is also said there will
probably be one or two other indict-
ments, one of which will be for car
rying concealed weapons.
The editor of this paper wrote ev-
cry word of that paragraph himself,
and got his information from the trial
justice, and so told Cadet Sparks and
his brother when they called on him
one day last week to demand the au-
thor, and to request publication of the
following card:

statements in your last weeks paper
in reference to the difficulty at For
eston between my broth er, Cadet Tom
Sparks, and you-g John Wilson,
which terminated in a trial before
Trial Justice Cantey.
Tom Sparks did not attack Wilson,
but was first attacked by Wilson and
others, the evidence before the trial
justice to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. Sparks is not two years the
senior of Wilson. The fine was 10
days or $50, not 80 days or $50, as
stated.
Your informant was either ignorant
of the facts in the case, or else lntiu-
enced by premeditated malice, as will
be demonstrated when the matter is
further judicially investigated.
SAMUEL SPARKS.
Mr.. Cantey did not come to our Of
fee to volunteer this news, but came
to see US on other business, and it
was only in response to the news
pump process that we got this fighting
scrape item from him, as he seemed
disinclined to talk about it. He was
in hurry, and we had to take the
news, as it we're, on the fly.
We got letter from Mr.. Cantey
yesterday, saying that Sparks wanted
him to correct the statement that be
(Sparks) was older than Wilson. Mr..
Cantey told us that he thought Sparks
was older than Wilson, probably a
year or so, and that he thought Will
son was about fourteen years OF age,
Mr.. Cantey writes US:
You may have asked me about the
ages of the two boys and l gsve my
| idea about it but could not say and
did not say that Sparks was two
years older than Wilson for don't
know the ages Of either. Sparks
claims not to be two years older than
Wilson and if he wishes the public to
know it and you got the impression
from me that he was, I have no OBJ
lection to the correction being made,
but don't feel called upon to make
it myself.
Now, we wish to say that we wrote
that article, and so told Mr.. Sparks.
We consider the slight difference
in the age of the boys, and the fact
that they had a fight, and that the
boy that got whipped prosecuted the
other boy, as all a matter of very
small Importance, undeserving of no
sice in a paper. The reason we had
anything to say about it was because
Trial Justice Cantey told us that one
of the witnesses swore he saw Sparks
have a pair of knucks in his posses
sion. That assertion astounded US
A white boy going into a fight with
another white boy with as deadly
weapon as a pair of knucks If Mr.
Cantey believed that in this fight
Sparks had on his person a pair OF
knucks concealed, and had fined him
one hundred dollars and thirty days
in jail, the full limit of the law, no
complaints could have been made OF
excessive punishment.
We understand that Sparks has
since been bound over for trial at the
next term of court, on the charge of
carrying this pair of knucks concealed.
If MIR. Sparks wishes to deny hav-
ing had that pair of knucks in that
fight, we viii publish his denial with
pleasure, but everything else is too
trivial for further notice.
