A APoPULAK ROUTE TO FLORIDA.
The Excellent Vestibrled Through Fas
Trains Of the F. C. s. P.

It will not be long now, it can be
stated on excellent authority, before
one the finest through stibuled trains
that ever ran through any section of
this country will be flying via Colum-
bia every day all the way from Jersey
City to jacksonville, Fla.
The winter travel from North to
South will soon begin in dead earnest,
and the Southern Railway, Florida,
Central and Penipsular combination
intend to handle the business as they
have never attempted to do before.
The intention Of the combination is
10 put on two magnificent YES ibu'ed
trains running out of Washington, one
coming just ahead of the other and
going via Atlanta to News Orleans.
The other is the one in which this part
of the country is concerned. 1t will
come straight through to Columbia
where the FLORIDA, Central and PENN
sular will takeit and rush it on through
to Jacksonville.
The trains will be exactly alike They
will be vestibuled all the way through.
They will be composed of Pullman par
lor scars, sleeping cars, dining cars,
smoking cars and last Of all, observa-
tion cars.
This flyer will be a limited train and
will run on the fastest schedule ever
attempted on the roads named. It Is
expected that they will be put on some.
time before December l. The flyer will
pass Columbia about II q. 10.
A change of schedule on these roads,
preliminary to the putting on of these
trains, will probably be made about the
first of November.

will cure every one. The following is a
specimen of the letters received from
patients:
o. S. NJ. McQuillan, Spring Hill,
Iowa, writes: "Four years ago last
fall my stomach, without any previous
warning, refused to perform its func-
tions, and I soon lost strength. During
this time food was forced through my
stomach by using cathartics. With
flesh wasted away, strength exhausted
so that it took away all my energy to
even get into a bath tub, hopes all
gone, I began TO take Pe-ru-na and
Man-a-lin, following free advice which
DR.. Hartman gave me. In short
time I could eat nourishing food, and
the piles, kidney trouble and consti-
patton disappeared. Flesh, strength.
and splendid appetite returned went
work."

COTTON IN 1S4S.
Mr.. Eppes Norris has sent US Gu

bought of Nathan Norris, November,

339, 359, 346, 304, 346-1679 lbs.-at 4.9O

this is not yet true. Gov. Tillman, we

tenor of her useful life, stamped Miss
Savannah Salter as noble woman.
She has now found rest and peace.

l3BY BACKED DOWN.
Wouldn't Bet Anything on His Boast Says
Pope-The Doctor Confident and
Happy and Talking Big Figures.
1The State.7

DR.. Sampson Pope, the independent
Democratic candidate for Governor, re-
turned to the city yesterday. Doctor
Pope is more hopeful than ever Of sue
cess in the coming election. He talked
most hopefully last evening. The doc
tors manner indicates that what he
says is not Dragging, but that there is
real foundations for his hopes.
When Doctor Pope was asked last
night if be had seen in The State what
Senator Irby had said about bic candi-
dacy and strength he said:
"Yes, and was amused. The colo
mel is a politician right; he believes in
undertaking his adversary's strength;
that card will not win this time. The
people have caught on to his ticket.
Some days ago, If have been correct
ly Informed, friend of mine offered to
bet him a suit of clothes (the colonel
bets hats and clothes sometimes) that
I would get nearly four times what
votes he gives me, and backed him
down. Telling me about it, told him
he ought have offered to bet on so, 600.
1t would be much better if he would
say how many votes the ring candidate
will get.
The people are aroused all over the
State. The trick of not furnishing
mo- convention tickets, after saying
that be would do so, has lost him
10000 votes in the State. have fur
nished them, and they will be voted,
and the convention will be defeated"
"What are your chances of success"
'They are growing brighter and
brighter every day, and will beat the
ring from ten to twenty thousand
votes in the State. There need be no
fear about e fair count, this is an elec-
tion between white man and white
man, and my friends are posted and
determined to have a fair election.
Any tampering with the voters will
certainly get people into trouble. We
know our rights and dare to defend
them at any cost"
DIR. POPE COMPLETES THE D1sTRIBU-
TIoN OF HIS TICKETS.
1.-THE State, 25th.]
Dr.. Sampson Pope is still here at his
headquarters. He has been hard at
work for the past ten days distributing
his own and mo convention" tickets
in every county in the State. He has
now, be says, about completed this
work, and has only a few thousand
more tickets to send out to thoroughly
"plaster" the State.
There was talk on the streets last
night of a probable scheme which
those who opposed the proposed
constitutional convention will have
to carefully guard against in the
election. 1t is not unlikely that all
these tickets against convention and
for DR.. Pope many never reach the
hands of those who wish them, even
after they have once been placed at the
polls. Attention is called to az old
trick of having men on hand when the
polls first open, who will go up one
after another, take big handfuls Of the
tickets desired to be lacking, walk away
with them and destroy them, making
away with practically ali of them by
the time the voter who wishes them
comes 10 vote. No one has said that
this trick will be worked, but it will be
we'll to guard against it.

Highest Lowest,

It will be observed that the tendency
of the price of cotton was steadily
downward until it reached cents Ia
New York, falling to 4cents and below
in the Southern markets. During the
fourteen years covered by the table the
country, ais we have said, was suffering
from the efforts of the United States
bank to embarrass the Jackson admip-
istration, and the results of these ef-
forts, owing to the arrangement Of our
currency system, Tapped over into other
administrations. Tariff agitation was
at higher pitch than it has since been.
Legislation on both the finances and
the tariff, was in an experimental shape,
and there was great confusion and
doubt among business men, 70 which
NAV be added the clarnor of extreme
partisanship famed by the friends and
enemies of Jackson.
This was another cause of currency
contraction that helped the hard times
along. In 1884 the ratio between the
two money metals was changed from
ISL to- to l6 to by reducing the
amount of gol6 in the coins of that
mGCal. Ollfct WGo tAOS obNSi '@1e>Ns
and even our legal tender silver was
exported to France where the owner
could command q profit Of half an
ounce in sixteen. This denuded the
country of its small currency.
But in 1s4s the gold discoveries in
California were made, and by 1856 the
immense deposits there found had
largely added to our stock of money and
prices rose in response to the much
needed expansion.
Our readers will thank Judge Clark
for his timely and interesting letter:
Relief is sure to come somehow and
from somewhere, and we ought to be
thankful that the hard times are no
worse. We ought to be especially thank
ful that the people Of Georgia and the
South are in much better condition to
stand the wear and tear and strain OF
financial depression than those of other
sections. While it is true that we have
no vast accumulations of wealth here, il
is equally true that we have no serious
aggregations of poverty. The expert
ences that hard times accustom the
people to will enable them to resis
some of the evils that accompany large
prosperity.
