KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
It's excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to.millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because 1t acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man

ATTENTION, REFORMERS.
Chairman SliSh Issues n Call and Gives In
struc,lon as to the Formation OF Clubs

To the Editor Of The Herald and
News:
The intention of this notice is to call
to the attention OF the Reformers of
Newberry County the importance of
organizing Reform Clubs and the rules
adopted by the Reform State Execu-
tive Committee for the government of
the same.
Each club will be allowed representa-
ton in the County Convention as fol-
lows: Que delegate at large and one
for each twenty-five members or ma
jority fraction thereof.
The clubs are to meet on the 11th of
August, 1884. and the County and
State Conventions on the following
Monday and Wednesday, sprectively,
viz: The 18th and 10Th Of August.
It is suggested for the sake OF uni
formity and that an hour for the meet
ing of the clubs may be thoroughly
understood, that ali clubs which can
conveniently do 50, meet at 3 O'Clock
p. ~, that is on the llth day of
August.
The County Convention will meet on
the day specified above, the 18th of
August, at II O'Clock q. 10. All persons
who voted for the Re form delegates in
the August primary of 1892 and all
others who will pledge themselves to
abide by and support the ticket to be
suggested by the State Reform Conven-
ton of August, 1894, are entitled to
membership in Reform clubs. Of
course every culb is the judge Of its
own members; but the intention of the
State Connitteee is that every club
should be liberal in regard to this mat
ter.
Each club will appoint three manag-
ers of election who will receive and
count the voteslcast for candidates for
Governor and Lieutenant Governor.
4 vote by ballot in every instance
should be had, and not merely the
adoption of resolution endorsing some
candidate and then instrucling the
delegates to the county convention in
accordance Herewith.
The rules of the Reform Executive
Comm make it binding upon all
candidates for State Offices to file with
the chairman Of said committee a
pledge binding themselves to the action
of the August convention. The time
for attending to this has expired and
Messrs. Tindal, Ellerbe and Evans,
candidates for Governor have done
this; so has Dr.. Zimmerman, candidate
for Lieutenant Governor.
Whenever it can be done, each club
in appointing managers, should ap-
point a man in favor of each of the
candidates for Governor. AS new
developments are taking place, I will,
probably, give further instructions
next week.
Clubs can be organized as late as the
10th of August. J. A. SLIGH,
Chairman of the Reform County
Executive Committee.

Excursion Accidents.

Neely & Henly's excursion train last
Tbursdsy was ill-fs:ed. 1t sustained
two accidents, the peeuliarity of which
was that one accident happened as the
train left Clinton in the morning, and
the other occurred when the train left
Columbia on the return trip at night.
The accident at Clinton resulted in the
death of Section-master L. W. Warren,
who indiscreetly allowed his lever car
to he attached to the train, the speed OF
which was too great. The lever bounde
in the air as it struck some material
which had fallen from it, but did not
leave the track, throwing Mr.. Warren
and three of his hands in the air a d
down an colbankment. Mr.. Warren s
neck was broken, and the negroes
were badly bpt not seriously injured.
When the train left Columbia that
night Charles English, negro, boarded
it to ride a short distance to his home.
AS be jumped he slipped and fell under
the wheels and had one leg mangled
and cut entirely off.

ON ITS LAST LEGS.
The Prohibition Sueses::ne Convention
Does Not Materialjze-So Ticket suE-
cest.d-The Whole Thing Consid-
cred Cnwise.

Some time ago the chairman of the
prohibition executive committee issued
call to The prohibitioniSts in tI.:
| county to hold meetings in the various
townships on last Saturday, for the
purpose of electing delegates to coun-
ty convention that was called TO meet
at ewberry on Monday for the pur.
pose Of putting out full prohibition
ticket for the Legislature. No con-
vention was held. No meeting had
heen held in the townships and no
delegates elected. The whole thing
seems to have abont frazzled out and
all the prohibitionists have gone after
the dispensary. In other words rather
I than in lure the cause of reform by
fighting for straight prohibition the
reform prohibitionists will take dis
pensary rather than run the chances of
defeating reform by fighting for pro-
hibition. The conservatives have not
seemed to take much of a hand in
the business.
At any rate no convention was held.
No delegates were here. There were
sone ten or twelve men who met in
the School Commissioners office aud
talked over the situation and heard re-
ports from the six townships repre-
sented by these men who were present.
None of them seemed to know just
where they were at except that no one
seemed to have any hope of prohibition
being successful.
Mr. John Neel moved that the sense
of the meeting was that it was unwise
to endorse any ticket for the Legisla-
ture and the motion prevailed.
Then there was general inter-
change of views. Messrs. I. Fl. Boul-
ware, D. W. Barre, and Thos. V.
Wicker were outspoken in favor Of pro-
hibition over any substitute if it could
be obtained Mr. Job L. Hughey said
be was a prohbitionist at heart, but
believing it to be best to support the
dispensary law. and better in the end
for prohibition, to give support to the
dispensary, he was for the dispensary.
He thought the prohibition child was
sick, and now that it had gone off into
a quiet slumber, it would do more
harm to the patient to arouse it and
give it medicine than to let 1t slumber
on. Mr.. Hughey thought if little
blood had to be spilled to enforce the
law that it would be alright. Better he
thought to kill few men than that
many should die from drinking any
other than dispensary liquor.
Mr.. G. Med. Sigh was for the dis
pensary until prohibitionists can en-
force the law.
There was some further pleasant talk
on the subject, and Mr. Wicker moved
that the chairman call another meet
ing when he shall deem it expedient to
do so, and the meeting then adjourned,
