When the Kidneys are sick there is always warning to tell you of it, and when the kidneys call for help there is no time to lose. Kidney diseases are common and fatal-cause more deaths ev- cry year than any other human ills. But in nine cases out of ten this Is due to neglect. Kidney dis eases are easily contracted, but just as easily cured when treat ed properly and in time.
 Common causes of kidney troubles are colds, fevers, expo sure, strains on the back, blood poisoning diseases, and indui- gence in stimulants.
 The kidneys are the blood fil- ters, and when they become sick, the blood is@ soon laden with im- purities, which the kidneys have failed to remove. This causes backache, stiff, lame and sore muscles, aching joints, spells Of dizziness. headaches, rheumatic pains. sieeplessness, nervousness, and lanRuor, weak heart and urinary troubles.
 There is only on( thing to do when any of these snptoms ap- pear, and that is to are the kid neys. No need to experiment. DOan's Kidney Pil have cured hundreds of people your own city. Their testirno. proves it-

Hagood Reflections.

When Wolf was ascending the
heights of Abraham he was repeating
Gray's elegy. Afterward it seemed
very much in place. Grace in fool,
like jewel in hogs snout IS much
out of place. Whether the Latin was
out of place say not, out when in
the act of raising a bucket Of slop l
exclaimed "Mirabile dictu," aquanti-
ty of it pourd into my bosom I felt
well, much, but I did not cuss. But
some man will say is Latin scholar
carrying slop to hogs?" There are peo-
nle who know no Latin who carry no
slops to hogs because they have no
hogs, nor aught else OF account, but
slop. -,
q There are people, some corn with
silgerspoons ETC., that are growing
poorer every day, all because they
must hire Tom, Dick and Harry to
do every thing, while their hne sons
sit back in the shade and bleach.
Some bleach only degree because OF
q degree, and poor souls, in an enort,
the effort of their lives, to get on the
TOP shelf something broke; it was
their credit; something was lost; the
respect of their equals. That is worse
than spilling slop in. your bosom
while repeating Latin phrases.

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR WOMEN.
Situations in Post Office Paying Mini
mum of $500 Year.

\ civil service examination will be
held in this city within q few weeks
for the purpose of filing vacancies in

mission to stand the examination must
be filled with Mr.. B. R. Sanders, the
secretary of the local board, on or be.
fore October 18th. There are now sew
eral desirable positions to De filled as
soon as the examination shall have
been held, and, as women are elegible

are dependent upon their on exertions
for support, take the examination.
One or more of the positions now
vacant pay $500 a year for the first
year, and thereafter larger salary.
The work is not heavy and the sltua-
tion is permanent, inefficiency OF mis-
conduct being the only grounds for

there were more applicants for certiG-

ORIENTAL OPENING
At shwartz Bros, Dry Goods Emporluu,
Yesterday.

Sumter has rarely seen as magnificent
a display as that offered on Monday
at the Palace Dry Goods Emporium of
Messrs. Schwartz Bros. In every de-
partment, dry goods, millinery, shoes,
carpets and notions, each detail was
complete, and attested the good taste
and untiring energy of the proprie-
tors. The principle decorations were
in the japanese colors, and the color
scheme was carried.out with marked
ability throughout every department..
From early morning until late at
night, the store was thronged with
Ladies, who were unanimous in their
praises of the goods displayed.
In the dry goods department. were
shown products of the looms of both
this and foreign countries. The silks,
velvets, robes and trimmings being
unrivalled in beauty, while the suits
and wraps compared favorably with
those shown in large establishments
of the north.
Special attention was given to tie
grand millinery exhibit, which was
unequalled in it's beauty. This de-
partment is presided over by Miss
sallie Mcdonald, aided by northern
milliners, who might we'll be pleased
with the criticism heard on eyery
side. The CREATIONS we're exact
copies of imported models.
The housekeeping department. was
replete with exquisite damasks and
linens. The rugs and carpets gave ev-
idence of careful selection, and merit
ed the admiration SO lavishly bestow-
ed. In the shoe department the
same care had been given. Among va
rious makes was noted the far-famed
Dorothy Dodd.'
Altogether, no finer exhibit of dry
goods has ever been shown in Sumter.
The attractive decorations of the win
dows, was repeated throughout the
establishment, and our city may well
boast of the enterprise OF her mer-
chants.

S Kershaw, Oct. Morrison was

the street. who were remarkably Qulet.
The murderer was taken about one
mile from town and given an oppoltu-
nifty TO say why he committed the
caEardIy act. A few of the party sug
gesrsd THAT he be allowed his request,
which was that he be given trial,
but his crime was such { cold oloooed
one that his doom was sealed. When
zhs realized that the crowd meant that
he snould meet his death he fought
and kicked desperately and tried his
best TO free himself He was lyBched
by being hung to tree by a pair OF
hnScy lines and then shot several
times. Morrison was Of the lowest
tvDs OF human being and while there
are a preat many who begged for the
law 20 be allowed 90 take its course
in the matter the prevailing sentl-
mens here is that he was served Just
as he deserved.
Sheriff Hunter and the posse search
ed for and found Morrison's body.
He had in his pocket a watch and a
Dockst book with seven dollars in it,
besides two dimes and a five cent
piece, which shows plainly that he
only wanted to borrow the 10 cents IN
order to get chance to kill Floyd

Sheriff Hunter received a message
from Gov. Hewyard to appreheud the
entity parties. Morrison shot Floyd
as 6 O'Clock. The sheriff and posse
arrived at 8. 20 and the militia from
Camden arrived a $40. All officers,
the governor, railroad officials, sheriff
ant town authorities were not quick
snoneh TO save Morrison's neck,
though they all executed orders and
orders were obeyed with alacrity and
