which are found city toilers, hard
working farmers, business men, cap
italists, clergymen, lawyers, physi-
clans and legislators, owe their lives
and present good health to the curing
virtues of Paine's Celery Compound.
No other medicine in the world to-
day has been so much talked Of, so
highly recommended by medical men,
so generally Endorsed by our best peo-
pie as Paine's Celery Compound. Ii
truly deserves all the good woyis
spoken in its favor.
May is the great month for recuper-
ating and building up the weakened
and diseased system. At this time
we press upon the ailing, the nervous,
the rheumatic, the neuralgia, the
dyspeptic, old and young, the neces-
sity Of using Paine's Celery Com
pound. To those who are suffering
and respondent, owing to the rapid
progress of blood troubles, kidney
diseases and liver complaint, we say
"use the great health Giver at once, if
you would be speedily restored TO
health. The virtues peculiar to
Paine's Celery Compound are IS po-
tent and true for you today as they
proved powerful and effective for
your friends and neighbors weeks
and months ago.

SCRDFULA.

To cure Scrofula take.
SCOTS Emulsion.
Scrofula mayb be described as
=" scattered consumption"
II is consumption of the
small glands under the skin.
and these break ou5 into the
sores. SCOTS Emulsion heals
these sores.
But there's more to the
story. The loss of flesh and
great weakness that comes
with Scrofula is a regular part
of the disease-the same as in
consumption of the lungs,
For sthis as for the sores,
SCOTS Emulsion is just the
remedy.
Flesh and strength arc
gained by the use of Scots
Emulsion quicker than in any
other way.
Scrofulous children improve

$1,000 From the Sale of One Bunch

While the Americas market is we
supplied with beef raised right here,
thus escaping the effect of the recent
squeeze" it was only due to those
progressive farmers who have always
found it very profitable to raise cattle
and pigs for the home market.
And henceforth it will be done upon
much more extended scale.
Not only in Sumter, but ali south
western Georgia the farmers will give
more attention to cattle raising. This
can be done cheapIy here, and at q
handsome profit.
A dispatch from Albany yesterday
told of the sale there of IA bunch of fifty
home raised steers, the lot netting the
farmer 1895, He bought several OF
the cattle at nominal price, fattened
them on pasture and cottonseed hulls,
and sold them at big profit.
Others there are going into the cattle
raising business upon a very extensive
scale. Fine pastures have been fenced,
sheds erected, and cattle raising will
be agreat industry.

sequently, be debarred from voting in
the election for county officers Wednes
day next.
This over confidence and lack of at

Scarcely half the voters Of the conn

law, though feeling sure their names
are upcn the books, and yet this Is
the very last day for registering.
The fact that one has paid last year s
taxes does not carry the privilege OF
voting in primary unless the voter
wrote his own name in the registration
book provided for that purpose. THE
fact has been stated repeatedly in the
Times Recorder quite recently.
Yet scores and hundreds of demo-
Gratis have not registered.
Merchants and business men whose
attention was personally called to the
matter We sterday, gave assurance that
they were registered, but many of
these names do not appear.

thereupon can vote next Wednesday

CHILD AS STAR WITNESS.
Maude Ferguson's Testimony May Coz

Maude Ferguson's Testimony May Con
Wet Aged Grandfather.
New York, April 30.-With remark
able composure, 12-year-old Maude
Ferguson, the only living witness OF
the shooting of her mother and grand
mother in their home in Milburn last
February, has testified at Newark to
day facts which, if substantiated. will
convict her gray-haired grandfather
Philemon Crelin. The girl, who was
looked upon as the star witness for the
state, told a straightforward story
While she spoke there were few dry
eyes in the courtroom.
On the night of the shooting, she
said, her grandfather came into the
house, and after few words shot her
grandmother, killing her instantly
Then he shot the witness mother and
fired shot at the witness as she dived
under a table at which she had been
writing. He then turned the revolver
on himself, but the wound inflicted did
not prove fatal, much to Crelin's re
greet.
While the girl was testifying Crelin
never raised his head.

Manzanillo, Cuba, says dispatch from
that city to The Tribune. They left
Bayamo escorted by a detachment of
rural guards and many friends on
horseback. Short stops were made at
every country house, where the presi-
dent shook hands and embraced many
old friends. At the larger places he
recounted with his comrades the expe-
riences of the war of 1868.

ed with an old comrade. General Ca
pote. When the party had been joined

opponent in the recent election, they
boarded private car and proceeded
to small place called BIanquezal 8

her magnanimous gift of freedom. and
that If Cuba would emulate the exam
pies set by the states. her future was
assured.
