Unless otherwise directed the subscription
will be commenced with the Christmas

TITHISONANT. & CASTLES, the re-
w liable hustling merchants of Hick-
ory Grove, never complain of the disad-
vantages in freight rate that they have
to contend with; but sing out in no un-
certain tones that they meet competition
in every instance and from every source
and quote prices to prove it. They want
you to examine their Mems Shoes at SO
cents, and also their SO cents Shoes for
Ladies.
They carry nice lino of gentlemen's
clothing and quote whole suit at $3.50,
and assure you that no one can beat the
suit or price.
They boast of their square business
methods and low prices and prove their
claims by example rather than precept,
and parties who need goods in their line
can do no better anywhere than at Whis-
onant & Castles.
They still have on hand FEW HORS-
ES, and anyone who knows them, would
not hesitate TO advise you to buy from

Spetial Hotires.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infiamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infiamed condition Of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

such short notice that he did not

hope he will be back again soon to
spend his summer vacation with US.
The farmers generally through this
section are preparing to plant corn
this week. Some few planted last
week and think after so much rain
they have wished many times that
they had the seed back in their
barns.
Our tobacco hot beds are doing

hourishing condition.

plentiful. In the pile of fish was a
white shad caught by Mr.. L. n. Rich

about seven pounds as it was taken
out Of the water. That was a fine
one for Santee.

PACKSVILLE POINTERS.

Packsville, March 24.-On last Sat
urday a message was received by
Messrs. J. S. and w. J. Troublefeld
stating the illness of their mother,
Mrs. Julia Mosley, of Wedgefeld.
These young men left at once for
their mothers home and found her
sinking rapidly. She died at four
o'clock Sunday morning. She leaves
ten children. While we did not
know Mrs. Mosley, we have for some
time been acquainted with these
young men, and the family has our
sincere sympathy in this deep
sorrow.
Last Friday evening about forty
persons visited the Baptist parsonage
at this place giving Rev. c. NJ. Bill
lings pretty fair pounding in the
way OF hams, butter, eggs, sugar,
coffee. rice, and all articles pertain
ing to the grocery line.
Rev. Billings preached his first SER
mon here last Sunday morning, and
all present were highly pleased with
him.
DR.. E. A. Wyman has been called
to preach at Home Branch church
near this place and preached his
first sermon last Sunday. Our Bap-
tist churches are now in prosperin ng
condition. For some time the Meth
odists have had us considerably in
the rear, but we hope to accompany
them to the home base yet.
Mrs. Julia. Corbett returned last
Saturday to Packsville, after three
months visit to Spring He'll with her
relatives. Mrs. Corbett is now about
sixty years of age and has always es-
capped measles. We are glad to say
that they took advantage of her alb
sence when they visited their house
and all connected families.

pointedbythe surviving soldiers OF the

meeting on salesday in March, beg
space in your paper for short re

The late law on the subject Of pen
sions requires meeting Of the sur
vivors on salesday in April (Monday,

two of their number by ballot as pen
sion commissioners, to act with the
county auditor and treasurer, who,
with a physician to he elected by
them, shall compose the board for
the present year.
Quite number Of our people are
entitled to be put on the pension list

there will be large turn out Of old
soldiers on that day.

every State ana especially 10 Tue
noble, patriotic, and liberty-loving
people OF South Carolina, to raise the
hand of warning and place those who
seem intoxicated with power, upon
positive notice that if they ruthlessly
and by the aid of Republican votes
override our wishes in this, the most
important of all the questions OF pub
lie policy, I for one will not follow
their lead another step"
And still again:
"From the very moment you vote
to perpetrate this proposed act which
I believe to be crime against the
productive interests of the nation,
neither my people nor will longer
follow your lead"
And then again, in addition to
to what Senator Irby said in his sill.
yer speech, nobody censured Mr
Donaldson and Mr.. Harris, members
of the last national Democratic con-
yention from this State, for their al
legged selling out" to the goldbug
influences more than did Senate,
Irby. And now for the News to ask
Senator Irby to repudiate and swal'
low his own words is not only q big
piece OF gall on the part of the News
but reflection on the political hon
est and sinceritv Of Senator Irby.
The position Iillman takes in bis
letter to Mr.. Reed, end to which the
Greenville News takes exception is
in our opinion, both tenable and log
icsl. It is our first duty to make
every possible effort to prevent the
political prostitution of the princi'
pies OF true Democracy, and in the
language of Senator Irby himself, tc
foil the efforts of those goldbug Shy
locks who propose and follow Re
publican methods while mesquerad
ing in Democratic clothes"
It is plain 10 everybody that if the
May State convention should fail o,
refuse to send delegates to the ma
tionsl Democratic convention suct
action would only be playing into the
hands of the goldbugs. We mus
send regularly accredited delesatel
to the national convention, and then
if their protests ssaiust that conven
ton being controlled and dominated
by goldbug delegates representing
always hopelessly Republican States,
are ignored as they have been in the
past and through their influence
goldbug tool of tie East is foistee
upon US, why then as Sepstor TIL
man says, it will be time enough te
Join their forces With the silver men
The goldbug delegates no doubt al
ready have an understanding viii
the Republicans that they will sup
port a goldbus Republican rather
than silver Democrat-at least the
