1.-THE people in Grand Rapids, Kala-
mazoo, Niles, Ann Arbor, Wayne, Ypsi-
lanti and other Michigan towns are
twenty-sevcn minutes moro rapid than
the rest of the world, and ut the same
timo arc way behind tho times" re-
marked George Wcstlakc, n drummer
for a Cincinnati paper company. Mr..
Westlake talked as if he were not at all
pleased with the Indication Of rapid
progress in the Wolverine state, and de-
clared it was the occasion of his losing
valuable time. "VVhcn l say the peo-
pie are rapid there, continued the trav-
eler, II mean that they keep their
clocks twenty-seven minutes ahead Of
standard time. When the scientific
men discovered that the world was
twenty-seven minutes too rapid tho
edict went forth that the hands Of the
clocks and watches should be turned
back.
"Nearly everybody recognized that
the earth could not keep pace with the
sun, but the Michigan people would
not acknowledge this, and positively
refused to adopt standard time. All
the clocks in the hotels, stores, resi-
dences and boarding houses in the
Michigan towns are run on what is
called city time,' which is tho old time.
The railroad trains, however, run ON
standard time, and as travellers are
compelled to eat on city time etc,
and are not notified of this out of date
state. of affairs, the stranger gets to tho
depot just in time to learn that his train
has been gone a half hour. "-Chicago

There Is more catarrh in this Sec.
ton Of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to, be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local dis.
ease and prescribed local remedies
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced
it i%ncurable, Science Eas proven
Catarrh to be q constitutional dis
ease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. HalPs Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by f. J. Che
ney Il Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken internally in doses

MR.. j. Il. HARRIS,
DEAR SIR:--I have
been q sufferer for some time from
an affection of the kidneys. I tried
a number Of remedies without any
relief. Some times the pain in my
back was SO severe that l had to
have help to get up when sitting
down. Some Of my friends asked
me to try your mineral water, I
did so, and the result was most
gratifying. 1 felt relief after the
first day. After using il n week 1
was entirely well. 1t has been some
six weeks since / first used it, and
my general health is greatly i'm
proved. Too much cannot be said
in its praise. It's undoubtedly the
best water that I know of,
Yours Respectfully.

Marching Through Georgia.

Our caption indicates what is
going on across the Savannah.
Fifteen thousand Of Gcorgia's gal
liant sons with tho old rebel yell
shouted themselves hoarse at
Athens on Wednesday last, glori-
flying Gen. Weaver, the Green
hacker, and sockless Jerry Simp-
son, apostle of the "people's party"
both of the "wild and woody" west.
The crusade is preached through
all the wide border of Georgia.
Gen. Weaver calls himself q JEFF
fersonian Democrat-and the Geor-
gia crackers make the welkin ring.
The whole thing is exquisitely
interesting. Right down the
throats of Joe Brown and Jno. b.
Gordon they proclaim that they
and their constituency have been
frauds, and actors in a thieivng
game of politics, time whereof the
memory Of man runneth not to the
contrary:
Well! Till the advent Of these
preachers of q revised democratic
gospel, we had thought that the
Gracchi lived in Georgia-and that
the souls Of those two immortal
Romans dwelt in tho bodies of
Alex. Stephens and Joseph e.
Brown.
what fools we mortals be" sure
enough. We have been mistaken,
misled, deceived, debauched. We
beg a thousand pardons. Kansas
and Iowa are the home Of true de-
mocracy and we are to get 1t un-
adulterated, pure and undefled
from tho throats of these intensi-
fed Westerners as echoed over the
yellow Savannah. They call for,
ask for, shout for, and howl for n
new party! Calhoun, Benton,
Toombs and Hayne were fakes
and robber barons. Tom Watson
and Sam Small is the ticket. Third,

HARRIS LITHIA SPRINGS.
Testimonials.


WATERLOO, s. G. Apr. 10, '91
MIR. J. 7. HARRIS,
DEAR SIR:-My en-
gagements are such that L have not
time to call the attention of Iledi-
cal profession to the cases that
might be collected from the mass
that have accumulated during
the thirty-eight (3S) years of
constant use of the waters of your
Lithia Spring.. The waters of
the Lithia Spring are odorless and
co%lorIess, free from salinary taste,
rather palatable. When taken i'm
q considerable quantity they do
not %nauseate, purge or produce
any feeling of discomfort. / find
from an analysis of the waters they
contain clOride sodium, carbonate
potash, carbonate soda, carbonate
lithia, carbonate iron and sulphatc
magnesia. The waters act directly
upon tho mucous coates of the
stomach and alimentary canals
they are powerfully Alternative
and tonic. They are soothing to
inflamed or irritatcd surfaces.
They react upon tho blood, chang.
ingm it from acid to alkaline.
In indigestion, catarrh of stom-
ach and g~astraigia, supplemented
with Il proper diet they are Il cer-
tain cure. Tho action upon the
kidneys is marked. The sodium,
potash, soda and lithia are the best
solvents of uric acid, all calculi of
an acid character, whether bileary
or ciptic + steadily dissolved, 1
am confident that tho profession
will find it very useful in cases
where this class of water is re-
quired. Respectfully,

to Judgment?
The Alliance excitement has
brought some very brainy me-,
into prominence. Senator Pfeffer
and Congressman Simpson, Of Kan
sas, Congressman Livingstone and
Watson, Of Georgia, and many
others suddenly raised to the Nat
ional Legislature, have at least
convinced the public since their
election that they are men of more
than culinary intellectual, calibre.
However impractical their ideas
on the S~ub-treasury and other ex-
treme demands of the Alliance,
they present them with such bril-
Iiancy as to coerce the interest of
readers and thinkers.
Here in South Carolina ("bnme
OF Calhoun and McDume") Stack
house alone of the new found gen
fuses has attempted to throw light
on the great issues and the seed,
which he sowed in Texas, doesn't
seem to have taken root.
Some Of u most distinguished
fellow citizens have recently
avowcd their affection for the Sub
treasury and given their hearts to
it, yet not one word Of argument
do we see i'm the public prints or
hclr from the stump.
While the combat thickens in
Georgia, Talbert, lecturer, and
Stokes, editor, bear the whole bur.
den on this side the river.

floor now than it will be i'm the

A Painful Accident.

AL. Stoddard, telegraph operator and
yard brakeman for the G. & c. X. r :,
was the victim of painful accident
last Saturday. He was on the cow
catcher of the yard engine on Satur-
day for the purpose of coupling on
some cars. 1t seems that the engineer
lid not know the cars were on the
track and owing to Il curve the pilot
INSTRUCTED his view. Consequently
the engine was going rapidly. To
complicate matters Stoddard's foot be-
came fastened ia the cow-catcher, and
he could not extricate it. Knowing
that collision was unavoidable he
held the push bar in both hands and
made the coupling all right, but ON
account of the speed of the engine the
push bar was bent double, and Stod-
dard's left hand was caught in the
fold of the bar and badly smashed.
DR.. Briefly dressed the hand, and it
was found necessary to amputate the
index finger above the first joint. The
little finger was broken between the
kpucb lie and first joint, and the doctor
placed it in spin,s and has hopes that
he car save 1t. The hand was other
wise badly lacerated, but no other
bones were broken, and the patient is
doing as well as could be expected.
