We Don't Eat Nor Wear Money.

Jim Johnson has returned from
Fish Branch and tells the LEDGER
that the farmers out in that section
have their corn about all laid by.
Mr.. Johnson says it looks pretty
well. He expects to get a large crop
of oats harvested and a very good
crop of corn gathered. If we
have bountiful crops it doesn't make
much difference about the supply of
money; we will eat just the same.
Silver, gold nor greenbacks do not
taste as well in a PERSONS mouth as
hot biscuits with good corn-fed heel
and gravy. If the farmers and
working men tell the capitalists that
their money is v~alueless to them
compared with good eating the mil.
lionaires would be glad to go out in
the country and eat corn bread and
drink buttermilk.

"Take this little white powder; it

Sleep says some persuasive friend,
and you look hesitatingly and longing

such longed-for possibilities. 1t is so
hard to lie awake night after night,
hearing the clocks strike one, two, three
four, knowing full well that you will

bell shall send it's tocsin pealing
through the house, and realizing, too,
that the next days duties will con-
front you as an armed battalion, when
you will have neither courage nor
strength to face them.
But it is mistake, believe me, to
take the sleeping powder, unless, in
deed, your physician absolutely orders
it. The narcotic, however innocent,
the sedative, however subtle, is in its
way crutch, and the use of crutch

In this whole manner of insomnia
the wiser way is to fight the wakeful

can. To be genuinely tired by exer-

above all, not to fret and worry, are
better remedies than the whole range

WHISKY CAUSING TROUBLE.
South Carolinians VIII Resist the Dispen-

p 6ary LAW WIN ARMS
CHARLESTON, S. c., July 17.-The
mailed hand of Gov. Tillman made a
move Saturday against the blind tigers
in Charleston. These have been rum
ming now just two weeks since the dis
pensary law went into effect. For
about ten days the city has been
+hronged with the governors spies.
Two days ago the assistant attorney
general of the state arrived here, and
has been in consultation with the spies
and the prosecuting officer of the
county. He applied to magistrate for
search warrants, but that official re-
fused to issue them, owing to some
legal technicality.

safely said, precipitate storm very far
surprising any which has yet attended
the Inauguration of the law.
On the arrest of those accused of vio-
iating the dispensary law, and before
trial and conviction, the place of bust
ness is to be condemned and bated as
nuisance, the premises searched, and
the goods and chattels confscated to
the state and carried away.
This is the program mapped out by
.he dispensary law, and this is the pro-
gram that Gov. Tillman proposes to en-
force. 1t is no secret that the enforce
ment will be resisted by force if neces'
sary.
In fact, it is no secret that good
many of the inhabitants have armed
themselves, and are prepared to defend
the sanctity of their premises, and the
popular sympathy is entirely on theil
aide.

LAUNDRY LORE.
Scraps Gathered from the Notebooks ot
Experlenced Housewives.


What to do with scorched places on
cloth is a question that sometimes puz-
zles the careful housewife. If the
scorch is not too bad, dipping the arti-
Gle in soapsuds and hanging it in the
sun for some hours will be likely to
remove it. If the day is dull hang the
piece before a CRATE fire. Scorched
spots that are very bad, and yet have
not consumed the fiber of the, goods,
are said to be restorable by repeated
dipping in saturated solution of
boraX. The saturated solution, as the
chemists call it, consists of as much
salt or crystal as the water will dis
solve. 1t is always safe to put in a
little extra; if the boraX stands undis-
turbed in the bottom of the bottle one
is sure of the full-strength solution.
Repeated dippings of this, with expo
sure to sun or fire light, will remove
what are by most housekeepers con-
sidered hopeless discolorations.

WARRINGTON, July T.-At 1880
o'clock Saturday night the comet,
which is now the object of so much
earch and speculation, suddenly de-
ve1oped an enormous tail, which to the
Impractical eye was taken to be dis
play OF the aurora borealis.
At that hour Prof. Frisby, Of the Ma

through the nine-inch glass He no

twas thought that the aurora borealis
had sent out an advance notice of a
brilliant engagement, but, as there was
no fiickering, and as the light came
steadily from where the comet had last
been seen, the professor concluded
that he was seeing comet in process
Of development.
The tail of the comet was thirty de-
grees in length, distance about sixty
times as long as the moon is wide, and
extended from ten degrees above the
horizon almost to the zenith. 1t was
plainly visible to the naked eye, and
was watched for some time by the corps
Of observers at the institution.
Prof. Frisbie said: .'There is no way

best, and the only thing to say is that
