The readers Of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
Of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors have
50 much faith in its curative powers,
that they offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case that it fails to cure. Send

The Southern st the depot here, came
up town at a late hour and notified
the police and night operator Jones
that be sew a fenale ghost clad in a
white robe sitting in window of an
unoccupied house about two squares
from the town clock. The policeman
aud Operator Jones went back with
Wade, but the blinds were closed and
no spirit could be seen. The boys say
Wade's eyes went down to their natu-
raj size after the exploration resulted
N finding no ghost. We venture the
assertion that Wade will keep the
other side of the street in future.

DON'T LIKE TO GIVE UP.
Carolina Planter.

A gentleman who has recently spent
several days in Danville informs ns
that the people at that place insist that
fine tobacco can't be made in South
Carolina. We are sorry that our Vir.
ginia friends are so hard to convince,
but we are making the tobscco right
along and selling it at good prices.
We have convinced the manufacturers
and that is the important point, so we
can feel indifferent about tho opinion
of other folks. Unfortunately for the
Danville people, if our informant ls
correct in bis report, they are not act
ing as they talk, for it is well known
fact thai the warehouses at that place
are using every effort 10 have our to-
bacco shipped there for sale.
The fact of the business ls that when
the South Carolina farmers, as the say
ing goes, get on their war paint, and
make up their minds to produce any
kind of D field crop they are mighty
apt 10 succeed. They have all the
essentials to success, energy and e's'ls
and everything in the way Of SOIL ana
climate that can be desired.
The encouragement given the farm
ers of this State in the Caroliaa Planter
is timely we think, especially so IN the
case of Fairfield County farmers, as
eight or ten crops of tobacco are grow
ing for the first time in this county
Of course, some patches for home use
have been grown, but not as a money
crop. We met a gentleman in the
country several days ago who seemed
to feel cheerful over his tobacco expert
ment. He said that if he only "came
out even" he would plant ten acres
next year.
Generally our Southern people, and
especially our farmers, are easily dis
couraged with experiments, hut we
firmly believe tLst Fairfield has as
good soil for tobacco as any tobacco
State has in it. We hope the clipping
from the Carolina Planter will stlmu-
la.e our Fairfield tobacco growers.

In these days of grasping greed, pc,
litical corruption and hankering afte,
public money. very much Of which was
stolen outright, and very much more
stolen virtually under the guise of law,
ii may not be out of place to let our
people know that George Washington.
the great, good and patriotic, did not
receive one cent of pay from the gov
eminent for his eight years services in
the revolutionary war. When he &c
cepted the appointment of comma nder-
in-chief of the revolutionary forces he
announced to Congress his determine
tion to decline pay. He simply asked
to be reimbursed for his actual expen-
SEES, an exact account of which he kept
In his own hand and presented to the
at the close of the war.
On the 30th day of april, 1889, he was ib-
augurated as our first president at New
York then the seat of the government,
having received every electoral vote, 80
