HERE are few PLAIN considera-
tions for the minds OF plain people.
In case OF an individual who fails in
business, he fails when he becomes
so deeply involved in debt that he can
no longer staye of payment He was
not obliged TO go in debt in the first
place But he wanted TO enlarge his
business. He put a mortgage on his
farm because il he had larger barns
he could store more grain and feed
more stock and thus get more money.
Perhaps the family needed larger,
handsomer house TO live In or cloth
ing that there was not money TO pay
for. AT any rate, all OF the people
who fail-manufacturer, farmer,
merchant or business mango in
debt trusting to future gains TO be
able not only To wipe off the indebted =
ness, but even to make them richer.
The farmer owes the merchant,
the merchant owes the manufa turer,
the manufactures owes the capitalist
who lent him money TO enlarge his
plant In times which seem pros
porous there is almost fatal tempta-
ton TO glide down hill into debt 1t
seems SO easy 10 pay up. Ry and by
somebody wants his money All have
run into debt together, and somehow
nobody quite understands how all
must pay about the same time. They
cannot do it, Then there is "A panic.
All the world must wait till il can
pay its debts. When that is done,
off il goes, headlong, pellmell, and
repeats the process over again. Now,
If nobody went into debt, but used
only the actual capital that he has in
hand, no matter what the tempta-
tion, how often would there be
panicsp

force the white people into unity,
such clapping Of hands and shouting
for Joy will be heard all over our now
divided State, as that We will be re-
minded OF the grand and glorious
Washingtonion Revolution, and its
most happy termination. My dear
sir, you are right in position and in
opinion, and unanswerable as to ar
gument. Though you respect and
contend for the present good of
South Carolina, yet you have not
been unmindful of her future, and
other generations which must sue
ceed each other. Senator B. r. Till
man, on a memorable occasion, pro-
phetically said: eve cannot afford to
divide" No man ever uttered a
more statesmanlike sentiment than
that one of his. No one can doubt
the statesmanlike ability of our new
U. S. Senator. He can now afford to
lay aside the politician, as he must
henceforth wear the robe and the
dignity of the sage We must unite
as people if we would have our old
ship of State ever manned by our
own fellow citizens, who can then
proudly announce to the world that
South Carolina shall ever be their
own dear Inheritance in the present
and the future as she has been in the
past. Our fathers left her to their
own natural children by deed of in
heritance, though those who by con-
quest have presumed to blacken her
fair face forever if they can. God
forbid that they should succeed IN
their unholy crime against their own
race. Harmony and union alone as
you have advised SO wisely, can save
US from the most damnable State
government of which the human
mind can possibly conceive OF. Let
our contemplated constitution then
be of such statesmanlike character
as that it will admit of no changes or
amendments in future time, Let US
take heed by the warnings of your
polished pen if we would be wise.
+ This is no time for quarrelling or
threats, taunts or ridiculing. Such
nonsense may answer the ends Of
heartless partisans, but could serve
no good purpose in a constitutional
convention. It has now become both
matter of necessity and patriotism
with us. We should vote like free
men. Every citizen should knock
any man down who would dare so
grossly insult him as to electioneer
him for his vote. Let the people do
the voting themselves without any
outside assistance, and we then will
have constitutional convention COM
posed of men who Will have their
own political uff-boxes at hand.
That is the way to do this business if
we would wish 10 see the people OF
South Carolina united and free as
were cur fathers who decided onr
State and country to white men IN
letters of blood, written with pen
of liberty.
I thank you, my dear sir, for bav-
ing dared to discharge your duty
in this solemn hour of our division,
so independently of party proclivities.
Go on in the good work, and may
God both bless and speed you in
your creditable efforts.

SUMMEEToS, Dec. l3-Some days ago IN
the News and Courier | saw that Sumter
was moving in the matter of having q pc
tato starch factory That's all right, but
if it is the one we are irving to get here,
she will be disappointed, for we are going
to have it. We are also corresponding
with parties North, and have some letters
which contain some mighty interesting read
ing. We had meeting Of our citizens, and
developed the fact that We ca easily support
the factory, though they will use from
TWENTY-FIVE hundred to three or four thous-
and bushels day. Yes we admire Sum-
ter's push and energy but we do not admire
the hog except wien it has four feet. Now,
thew can well afford to hands off III this
matter: don't reckon it will make any diff
ference though, so we can ahead, and prom
ise to put high city tax on it as one OF the
inducements. Gen. Forrest was once asked
the best way 70 win battle. He replied,
Get there first with the most men" We
expect to get there with the most induce
neuts. 1t has been said that "All things
come to him that waits" We have been
waiting so long that our spirits have wllted
to some extent. Now, we will all get star
ched up again.
At the starch meeting it came out that
one man in orr community had put his
whole farm in oats, except what be Will put
in corr. He will not plant hill Of cotton.
Says if we get the factory here hewi!l plant
some potatoes though There is a much
larger acreage being put in oats than ever
before, and ii the price OF cotton Will just stay
down till cotton planting time is over, our
cotton acreage will be very much reduced.
Our community was shocked to hear Of
the death OF Dr.. Il. n. Wells. Having been
born and raised right here :he q mmunity
have always had an afectionate claim on
him, and feels that its loss is greatest.

tons, the tournament promises to be fine.

THE PAINS OF RHEUMATISM

According to the best authorities, originate
in a morbid condition of the blood. Lac
tic acid, cansed by the decomposition OF
the gelitinous and albuminous tissues, cir.
culates with the blood and attacks the fl.
brous tissues. particularly in the joints,
and thus causes the local manifestations OF
the disease The back and shoulders are
the parts usually affected by rheumatism,
and the joints at the knees, ankles, hips
and wrists are also sometimes attacked
Thousands of people have found in Hoods
Sarsaparilla a positive and permanent cure
for rheumatism 1t has had remarkable
success in curing the most severe cases.
The secret Of it's success lies in the fact that
it attacks at once the cause of the disease by
neutralizing the Tactic acid and purifying
the blood, as we'll as streag agtheniag every
function OF the body

4 Complimentary Letter.

Manning, S. c., Dec. II, 1894.
Editor The Manning Times
have read with pride, pleasure,
interest and gratitude, your timely,
eloquent and peaceful editorial,
which gives sach wholesome advice
to the people Of South Carolina My
dear sir, though we differ on some
points which admit of argument and
opinion, we have ever met together
and voted alike at the polls, neyerthe-
less. 1t is often the case that men
differ on public polity, yet they work
in the same cause, because unity is
demanded for the public welfare.
Approaching such an end, you have
wisely and patriotically held out to
tie gaze of all concerned in the pros
perity and happiness of our distracted
State, ':the olive branch" as the basis
of brotherly patriotism, love and
union. What can be more nobler
spirit than the peacemaker?: Not
only does be merit the thanks of the
patriot, but he can also lay claim to
The blessing of his God.
The constitutional convention just
ahead of us, ought, as you advise, be
composed of patriots, rather than OF
partisans. If only our patriotic citi-
zens compose that August assem-
blaee who are to meet in our capitol
at our seat of government, all will be
well. Blu. otherwise, new differences
OF opinion may arise, which may be
81 adverse to our future union, that
another constitutional convention
may be the result Of some other party
10 the distance. We should remem-
Der that our present one-sided con-
stitution is the sole cause of our call
ing 4 constitutional convention. If
Carolinians will be wise and prudent,
they viii follow strictly vonr most ex-
cellept and patriotic a e If a
constitution be adopted Il. will

SOLD HIS WIFE FOR $40.
Husband Thought IL TOO Little and

CHICAGO. Sept 25.-As evidence in a
case of assault and battery in Judge
Fosters court, a contract was produced
by which NJ. F. King sold his wife to
Henry Reuter- for $40 about year ago.
King met Reuter- on South Clark street
last night and struck him in the neck.
Reuter- resented the blow and both men
were arrested Reuter- pleaded self
defense, and then King explained how
the trouble came about
He. said he sold his wife to Reuter-
for $40 months ago, and that the pair
had since lived together. After trying
single life again, King said he concluded
that Reuter- had not paid enough for his
spouse. but Reuter- refused to pay over
more money, King said he struck him
in a fit of Indignation. Reuter- denied
the transaction. The other man then
produced thumb-marked contract, in
which the transfer was made and the
sum was stated, with Reuters sigma

Barlow's explanation was incoherent,

Bob. the coored cook and all-around
servant, from the dining-room, and his
black face increased the vigor of the in

hue of its face to a purplish tinge.

Granger, who had been energetically

Joey's continued silence gave Barlow

Bob's culinary skill stood him in good
