The Hazzard-Circular.
? This circular was first published
and distriouted among Northern
Kepublicans in 1863, aDd we clip
it, as good reading for Democrats,
from a letter by Mr. Mr. W. J.
Peele to the State Chrontcle:
"Slavery is likely to be abol
ished by, the war power and chat
tel slavery destroyed. This I and
my European friends are in favor
of, for slavery is but the owning
of labor, and carries with it the
care for the laborer; while ,the
European plau,,.led on by Eng
land, is capital control of labor by
control of wages. This can be
doue by controlling the money.
-- The great debt that capitalists
will see to it is made out of the
war, must be used as a measure
to control the volume of money.
To accomplish this the bonds
must be used as a banking basis.
We are now waiting.to get the
secretary of the treasury to make
this recommendation to Congress.
It will not do to allow the green
back, as ic is called, to circulate
as money any length of time for
we cannot control that.
This infamous document ex
plains the Yankee's pecuniary pa
triotism and his mercenary love
for the negro, aud tells the story
of our financial disasters in lan
guage too plain to be mistaken.
If the newspapers of, the State
will carefully circulate it, tbey
will not have to waste much edi
torial space to explain to their in
telliseut readers the cause of hard
times. :
P. S. Golden Text: The Yan
kee so loved the negro during the
late war' that he gave the Irish
man and the putchman to be sac
rificed for him.
Murder in Chester.
From the Monroe Enquirer.
Mifc John iiood, the father of the
sheriti" of Chester county, S. C,
was shot aud killed in Chester
Saturday night, by a negro named
Green Brown. It seems that
Brown suspected another negro
of. -b'ein ir too intimate with his
wife, and, with "a double barreled
shot gun, awaited in ambush the
object of his jealousy. Mr. Hood
happened to pass by on . his way
home from visiting some relatives
and Brown mistook him for the
man he was looking for and fired.
The shooting took place on a
street without any lights, and the
body was not discovered until 7
o'clock Sunday morning. Mr.
Hood was seventy-nine years old.
The negro was arrested and car
ried to Columbia to prevent his
being lynched.

Poor mother, worn out by house

oh ! how much brighter the family
fireside would be if mother's chair
was hot vacant. The doctors
don't seem to be doing her any
good. She says their medicines
don't seem to go to the spot. She
feels so weak and longs for

she murmurs. WTby not give her
the remedy her system cravest
Her impoverished blood and shat

Then try a bottle of this excellent

and restores health, strength and
functional regularity. N

Five doctors and as many many
more different patent medicines
