A Cure for Headache.

ANY man, woman or child suffering
from headache, biliousness, or dull

two of DeWitt's Little Early Risers

1T NEVER CAME BACK.

Ten years ago, an exchange saws,
a farmer put an x mark on a silver
dollar and went to town and spent it
with the merchant. Before the year
was out he got the marked dollar
back again for poultry and spent il
again with the village merchant.
-Four times in SIX years that dollar
came back home to him for produce.
and three times he heard of it in the
pockets of his neighbors.
The time he got it in change three
years ago he sent it TO mail order
house that has amassed millions OF
dollars selling third rate stuff. He
has newer seen that dollar since.
That dollar will never pay any
more road or school tax for him.
never help to build up the town OF
county, never bless or brighten the
homes of his neighbors. He sent
it entirely out of the circle of useful
ness to him. The best moral to this
is to patronize home trade and your
dollar will come back to you, but send
It to an eastern city and 1t never
comes back.

Richland Sufferers.

Attention is directed to letter from

eastern part of Richland county.

the silence of that suffering that with
no display but no less surely wears
ones life away.

A committee has been appointed and
this afternoon this committee will
begin it's work. Amounts from one
cent to one dollar will be received. 1t
is the purpose OF the committee that
this aid shall come generally from
Sumter's citizenship and that not just
a few shall bear this burden. While
the charity committee of Game Cock
Lodge has not yet subscribed any
amount, it is confidently believed
that ten dollars will be received from
this source. Sumter always does its
duty and it will do it in this instance.

The GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
Election Treating Discussed in the
Senate but no Action Taken.

Columbia, Feb I'm the senate
today a long debate was held on the
treating at elections bill. The
bill provides that one who offers 9
drink within three miles Of a voting
precinct shall be liable to punishment.
There waas long debate on Senator
Raysor's motion to make the words
read lin the Immediate vicinity.
The bill had majority unfavorable
and a minority favorable report. The
test vote was made when Senator
Hay moved to adopt the majority re-
port. This was defeated by vote of
- to 10, and that shows about the
sentiment Of the senate on the bill.
After great deal of debate further
consideration on the bill was adjourn
ed until tomorrow at II o'clock. The
senate also adopted the bill which
makes the salaries Of the chief justice
and justices Of the supreme court s.,
600. This is the same salary as circuit
judges receive. The bill to pay the
travelling expenses OF circuit judges
received an unfavorable report which
was adopted.
Senator Marshall offered all amend
ment to tho medical bill which would
include homoeopaths and osteopathists
in its regulations. The bill has not
been considered yet by the senate.
The house met this morning and
new bills were introduced. Several
matters came over from the senate.
Forty five bills were on the calendar
for third reading, and these were
sent to the other side of the capitol
without contest.
The four bills, relating to an in
crease in the States revenue, which
were prepared by the tax commission,
were made special orders for tomor-
row. This was done after long YER
bal tangle. By vote OF 45 to 50 the
house refused to strike out the enact
ing words.
Mr.. L. anham's bill to amend the act
requiring electric street railway COM
panies to afix vestibules to their cars,
SO as to include Charleston county in
its provisions, was vigorously urged
by it's author, after which Mr.. Wha-
ley, who had moved to strike out the
enacting words, withdrew his motion,
and the bill was ordered to its third
reading.
Mr.. Pollock's amendment to change
the commutation law from Is to 80 to
q to so caused the usual wrangles and
discussions that attend any effort to
bring about change in the require
ments of the law as it now exists.

Pisgah News Notes.

Pisgah, Jan. 1.-The rough weather
for the last few days has knocked farm
work into a pi We have the luxury
of plenty of the best of wood and
lightwood to make fires and the only
cost is to cut and haul it. The luxury
of nice fire on cold day can only
be enjoyed by those who have ex-
perienced it. We can sympathize
with those who have to stint their
wocd these cold days. If the roads
were better Sumter would get more
wood, and the price would be more in
the reach of all.
Farm labor is scarce. Some of my
neighbors who have five horses have
only one hand. Very few have enough
to run their plows. The agents from
Florida and elsewhere have drained
the country Of the best hands. "The
forty acres and mule'' argument
is worked for all it is worth but on a
different key. Fine houses to live in
at 1Oc. per month rent. Two and
three dollars a day>sfor little work,
has proved the winning card. When
ever the negro sdevelopes proper citi-
zenship the South will accord, as it
has always done, all the rights that
his station requires When these peo-
pie 90 North and commit crimes they
are more roughly used than here.
They will find that the South is the
best place to live il, and the whites
their best friends.
Mr. Peter Hawkins, one of the
Oldest men of this section lies very
low. At this time there seems to be
no hope of his recovery. There are
no new cases Of fever in this section,
and l hope it is ended With the ex-
ception of the usual colds and coughs
for this time of the year we are
healthy.
Possibly NO man III public life ever
had as many petitions against retain
ing his seat in the y. S. Senate as
Reed Smoot, the Mormon Senator from
Utah, and rightly so for no man who
believes in Mormonism should be a
law maker for this nation.
The remarks of your Hagood CORES
pondent in reference to Mr. G. S.
Baker, are fully endorsed here. He
was a modest man in his church,
liberal in all benevolent work. The

in vain for money to carry on church,

His church and neighbors deeply re-
