WAlA WEATHER HAS COME AT
LAST.
The Best Season In the Year to Treat
Chronic CatWrrh.

Understanding that Il great number
OF people have been cured of chronic
catarrh by taking Pe-ru-na during the
past cold season, yet it cannot be de-
MED that the cold, wet, backward
spring has retarded many cures, and
in some cases actually prevented a
cure. But, after the usual delay, sum-
mer has come at last, and now is the
time for all catarrh sufferers to begin
a systematic curse of treatment for
this disease. The greatest difficulty in
the way of treating chronic catarrh is
that the patient is so liable to catch
cold during the treatment, and thus
delay a cure. This liability at this
season OF the year is, in a great meas
ure, removed, and no one should neg
lect the opportunity to be given treat
ment.
The proper way to begin treatment
for chronic catarrh is to take a table
spoonful of Pe-ru-na before each meal
and at bedtime. This dose should be
increased so hat in one month the
patient will be taking two tablespoon
fulls at each dose at which time a re.
port Of the S by letter should be
made to DIR. Hartman, Columbus,
Ohio, and he will advise further.
Every patient should have a copy of
The Family Physician No. 3, which is
a 80 page pamphlet, giving a complete
description of the cause, symptoms
and cure ofchronic catarrh. Sent free

Riglets from Sand Hill.

Mr.. EDITOR: Some townfop
passed up the road yesterday and
told a negro that John Sheppard
was a candidate for President.
Now, Mr.. Editor, we live in the
back woods, don't know what is
going on like you town folks do,
SO please tell us if Sheppard is a
candidate for President. We told
the negro that it must be for Gov
ernor, but he said not. We heard
up here some time ago that Shep-
pard and some more of our old
bosses were going to have q little
convention in Columbia some time
in March to see if they could not
fix up some plan to get in power
again. We hope it is not SO, for
we are all in favor of Sheppard for
President, but if he is candidate
for Governor we are solid for Ben
Tillman. Ben will beat Sheppard
ten to one in Gray township for
Governor; you can bet your bottom
dollar on that.

1 hear that the report is being
circulated that I propose to
support the anti-Reform or
anti Tillman movement in the
coming campaign. My personal
and political views have nothing
whatever to do with my faithful
ness and efficiency as a public
officer, yet I have no desire to
conceal my personal opinion; and
take this opportunit to say to the
people Of Edgefeld County that
1 supported the Reform movement
from the very outset, and, believing
that the interests of the people
will be best promoted by the con-
tinued success of the Referm
party, I expect to remain true to
my convictions in the matter in
this campaign.

HE GOT THE. CHICKEN.
A Brave Barnwell Soldier Who
Wouldn't Sthrve.

An old gentleman who lives
near Grahams, and who. fought
bravely in Hago.d's Brigade, Capt
Graham's Company during the
war, was taken. sick during the
second battle of Manassas, and
was left for dead on the field.
He revived, however and
searched diligently. among the
haversacks for something to eat.
He finally found a few crackers
and lived on them five days.
Exhausted, wearied,. burning with
fever and pinched by starvation,
he went boldly up to a stately
mansion in Pennsylvania. A
woman with a pistol appeared at
the door.
The old Confederate pulled his
hat and said, MADAM, 1 am
starving. Can't you give me
something to eat? If you will only
give me one of these chickens
running around here I may
live"
She raised her pistol and said,
go away from my premises, you
triAing rebel, or l will shoot
you"
Crumbling a little piece of the
cracker on the ground he called
the chickens around him, and
reaching down be picked up one,
Then turning to the woman he
said, "Madam, I have never stolen.
You are here surrounded by plenty
and am starving. 1 don't believe
it is sin for me to take this
chicken. You can shoot if you
want to, and if God wants me to
die / am ready"
He walked away, and as he wac
going down the lane the cruel
woman fired at him five times, but
all the bullets went wide of the
mark. He broiled that chicken
without salt and rejvined the
army at Richmoud.-Bamberg

Democratic Executive Committee, the
County Democratic Executive Com
mittee of Edgefeld county, through
the undersigned as its chairman,
hereby issues call Tor the reorganl-
zation of the Democratic party in this

bia, s. c., Sept, 10, 1890.
The several county clubs are called
to meet at their usual places of meet
ing on the second Saturday (the 9th
day. of April next, for the purpose OF
reorganizing said clubs, and for the
purpose of electing delegates to the

The County Convention will meet on

cogElzed. No club that was formed or
organized after the 18th day of August,
1890, by the division of an old club or

der the control of a County Executive
Committee, which shall consist of one
member from each club to be nomi-
mated by the respective clubs and

BIG FIRE!
Thousand Bales OF
Cotton COnsumed-Over
One Thousand People
Homeless.

New ORLEANS April Anew
Orleans was visited yesterday by
two of the worst fires in the city's
history. Eleven blocks of build
ings were destroyed, involving a
loss of $3,6OO,OO0. Both fires were
the result Of carelessness, and
would have been trivial but for
the extreme dryness, which was
the result of a long drought, a
high wind and the inadequacy
of the fire department. The latter
was reorganized in January from
the volunteer to the pride
department system, and the
number of the fremen was reduced
about nine tenths.
The first fire started about III
o'clock, in pile of cotton in front
of the fireproof compress at the
corner of Tobin and Fronttstreets.
Some one threw a lighted cigarette
in the pile, which in a few NOM
ents was burning fiereely The
flames quickly ate their way into
the compress building, where IL
500 bales of cotton were stored.
The air was soon filled with
masses of burning cotton, which
communicated the flames to the
adjacent structures.
The Shippers cotton press,
where 10000 bales of cotton were
stored, was the next to go, and
the Orleans compress, with 25,OOO
bales. soon followed. While the
iremen were combating flames in

Read This, Farmers.

81 feel that we are today in
South Carolina in almost as preca-
rious a condition as we were prior
to the campaign of 1879.
This is what James L. Orr said
in his speech at Columbia in &C
cepting the nomination for Lieut..
Governor. In other words your
Governor is just a little better
than a Chamberlain, Moses, Scott
and other Radical Governors
elected by the negro vote, and you
are just a little better than the
negroes who elected these Radical
Governors. Col. Orr and the
Haskellites and ants are no doubt
of one mind, for it is said this
remark of Col. Orr's was
applauded to the skies. Don't
forget this comparison when the
Colonel addresses you from the
hastings this summer.-Geenville
