Artiacial Produetion of Rain.

The following has been directed
to Gov. Ellerbe by petitioners
from Laurens County:
To His .Excellency Gov. W. H.
Ellerbe:
Many of the newspapers of the
State are charging Senator Tillman
with receiving Dispensary rebates,
and Ser ator Tillman having in
mis- recent letter made formal
demand up5n your Excellency
for an immediate" investigation,
now, we, as Reformers, call upon
you to order an immediate inves-
tigation. If after fair and i'm
partial trial Mr.. Tillman is found
guilty let him bear the odlum and
shame that will. necessarily follow.
If on the other hand he is adjudged
not guilty let the same newspapers
who have made the changes do
Senator. Tillman justice by correct.
ing their charges, and .prolain:ing
him an innocent man, severely
prosecuted. This we believe the
s.throughont the State will do.

Gov. Ellerbe has heretofore noticed
calls for investigations, but he has
stated quite recently that he did
not see how such an investigation
would amount to anything, as it
would be utterly impossible for the
committee of investigation to get
he whiskey drumers or dealers
lere unless they would come of
heir own accord. However much
,reat respect he has for the opinion
# such good Rsfcrmers, as tie pc

AN "oRIGINAL PACKAGE" /"

Chief Bahr, of Charleston, spent
Monday in Columbia, says the
State. He went up to hold a further
consultation with the State
authorities ahout the construction
to be placed en- the term original

is disputed question and only a
judicial decision can positively
determine the question. Chief
Bahr says in the meantime he
would seize all liquors when
person attempted to open a box
and sell from it one or more bottles
of its contents, provided those
bottles did not have upon them
separate government stamps. In
that case they will not be molested
According to the understanding
now prevailing any number of
bottles may be sold individually
SO long as they have separate
stamps upon them.
Chief Bahr states that already
he has seized and dumped a con-
siderable amount of beer in
Charleston the parties attempting
to sell it by the drink from kegs. |

THE COTTON CROP.

Latham, Alexander & Co., the
great cotton experts of New York,
after hearing from their cores
pondents in all the cotton growing
States, sum up as follows:
"The average condition of the
crop in Virginia 81, North Caro-
lima "a, South Carolina 81, Geor.
gia "a, Florida 80, Alabama 81,
Mississippi rs, Louisiana "a,
Texas 81, Arkansas SO, Tennessee
", Missouri 80, Indisn Territory
S5, Oklahoma 70; general average,
S3.5, against s7.2, the June condi.
tic of last year."
. These reports show that while
the condition of the crop is nearly
IA per cent. off from last year the
acreage has been increased from
22,341, 600 acres in 1895 to $780,
600 acres in 1897, nearly one mil.
lion acres altogether.

HydrOphobia Cure.

According to the Medicine
Moderne, aFrench missionary in
China witnessed recently how two
of his terriers were bitten by a
rabid dog, and was very much
worrie about it. Several Chinese
who happened to be there told him
that his worry was absolutely
uncalled for, since they had an un-
doubtedly safe preventive again st
the poison of a rabid dog TAX
ing effect, and to prove the assertion
five Cinnamon who had been bitten
in March of last year by mad
dog were presented to- the mis-
sionary. He found that Cinnamon
eat of the raw liver of the mad
dog after being bitten, and if they
partake of this within given time
after the accident, it is said they
will not be subject to hydrophohia.
1t is curious that Plinius in his
Natural History recommends
eating the liver of a mad dog, if
bitten, as raw as possible, and they
who could not swallow the liver
raw should have it cooked and |
drink the broth therefrom. It is
not positively known whether this
is efficscious, but it ap-
pears to be worthy of investigation,
particularly since this seems to be

FROM HEADQUARTERS.

The failure of the dispensary te
pay into state treasury the $4,000
for current expenses promised al
the last session of the Legislature
will nccessitate very soon the Dor.
rowing of at lest 100000 by State
Treasurer Zimmerman.
Relying upon the assurances Of
the dispensary board of control
the general assembly passed the
supply bill on the basis of $4,000
of dispensary profits at the rate Of
$4,000 a month coming to swell
the treasury fund. Up to the present
hove 7er, nothing from this source
has been received. Mr.. Zimmerman
to-day said in a month'e time he
will have to borrow money for the
running expenses of the state. For
this necessary loan he has
assurances that 1t may be secured
at 5 per cent.
The treasurer's plan to borrow
only what is necessary for state
expenses to November 1st, when
the taxes then collected will be
available. The real deficiency,
oowever, is much greater than
100000 and equals the govern
nent's expenditures from July to
January. although it does not ap-
pear SO because of using the taxes
:or 1898. In view of this default in
ts prom ses it is probable the
general will proceed

Original Package"

Since Judge Simonton rendered
Ehis decision in thesfarzaus Wander
gook casli, the question of supreme
import has been, What are ssorigiDal
Ipackages?" The press of the Statf
has been daily discussing it, but
still no neutrality-suspicious. has
yet been reached.
The Greenville News says that
Attorney. General Barber went
downeto Charleston the other day
and asked Judge Sirnonton for his
construction of the phrase, to
which tina jndge politely replied
that he was not then delivering
opinions. The result of this
interview. or that there had been
any interview at all, between these
officials had not been published,
and it was by mere accident that
a News man was told of it's results.
1t was published, however, that
the attorney general did not get
the satisfaction he sought in
Charleton.
Mr.. ]. Kennedy Bryan, the
Charleston lawyer who won the
Vandercook victory, has been in.
terviewed but fruitlessly. He was
quoted as valuing his opinion on
the matter at "much more than a
thousand dollars" Mr.. Bryan's
opinion Is naturally of value.
In letter to client in Green

stumbled oyer the other day, Mr..
Bryan gives his opinion as to

factory, and not as it is shipped.
In other words, any quantity of

client says, that a foreign whiskey
house may stock warehouse with

packages, through its agent by
orders. That is, the customer places

nunicates with the company, who

WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
SO often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. 1t
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to
urTnate. The mild and the extraordi-
nary effect of Swamp Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distress
ing cases. If you need medicine you
should have the best. Sold by drug
