Yet we learn there is quite an amount of suffering among the poor in this city. We have several well managed chari table institutions in our community and it is hoped that they will look to the matter and not wait to have individual claims presented to them but seek out deserving objects, aj it is a well estab lished fact that the most deserving are the least apt to solicit aid, and many times use every possible means to con ci&l their sufferings from the public, Such cases are worthy ot aid and can only be discovered by being searched out by the benevolently disposed.

Editor Journal: The task you have set me is a heavy one, and will have to be done by installments. 1 will begin by explaining the damage done the farming interest by its friend? in ordinary business no man expects to set up shop without capital or money to furnish it. But in farming, as soon as a man be- cimes too idle to be a good laborer, he must be set up in farming. He has no trouble in renting land and buildings; he has no trouble in buying a horse or mule on time, because be has rented the land; he has no trouble in getting supplies from a merchant, for he has already rented land and bought a horse But it is all done on his bare promise to make a good crop and pay up. The result is, a farm hand who was already getting a little slack, is con firmed in his idleness; spending most of his time in talk, calling it "attending to a little business." A good piece of farm land is neglected; the fences get down, "the loose hogs get in and get hurt," and that makes trouble in the land. A horse or mule dies or becomes too much run down to recover, and the merchant loses his bill, and all because people will not recognize farming as a business, liable to tho usual business rules. This is the principal reason for the lack of improvement in the country. But a few more years like the past and present will regulate it; if in no other way, by reducing the surplus of those who set irresponsible men up iu the business of farming. An empty house is better than a bad tenant. Sixty dollars cash is a better price for a horse than $200 on time which you don't get. You had better sell goods for cash than put on 30 to 60 per cent for fall time and get nothing. John Pearce. N, B. If you have not sown oats, i sow them. Mine are up and growing. Columbia, S. C. Dec. 9. In the leg islature to-day Wade Hampton was elected United States Senator as his own successor, receiving the entire vote of both houses with the exception of three votes for Smalls, cast by colored repre sentatives from Beaufort county, and two for Whipper, cast by colored sena tors from Beaufort and Berkley coun ties. In the house a bill passed its second reading providing for reform of the con vict system of the State in respect to hiring out convicts, by requiring that convicts hired outside of the peniten tiary shall be at all times under tho oon trol of sworn officers and guards ap pointed by and responsible to the super intendent of the penitentiary. This bill, if it becomes a law, will effectually stop many of the horrors to which the convicts have heretofore been subjected by irresponsible employees of lessees of mines and on railroads. Chattanooga, Tenn., Dec. 9. The Louisville & Nashville, Cincinnati Southern and East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia railroads for ten days paBt have been making reduction in rates from the West to Chattanooga and southwestern points and the rates have been lowered 43 per cent on grain, meat, flour, etc., from Chicago to Chat tanooga. It is believed that the new rate will be ratified by the Southern steamship and railway association, and will become pool rate. A Well Known Attorney. Brunswick, Ga., June 26, 1884 Ed itora Constitution: I desire to make public, through your columns, my ex perience with a remedy which is made in your city. In the early part of Deb ruary last, after a three week's visit north in inclement weather, 1 was at tacked with inflammatory rheumatism of severe type, my first serious illness (with the exception of yellow fever in 1876) in fourteen years. When taken I was in robust health, weighing 165 pounds, but somewhat worn and weary with overwork:, i was treated hrst with acids, then with alkaline remedies, each furnishing temporary partial relief from pain, which returned with increased se verity at the slightest change in the weather, and each new attack was pre' ceded by a chill and followed by a hot fever. In three weeks my weight was reduced to 130 pounds. I had no appe tite nor strength, and was growing weaker every day. I continued chang ing medicines, and was finally advised by physicians, after seven weeks of continued treatment, that my only hope of speedy recovery was to visit the White Sulphur Springs in Florida, a trip which business and other considerations did not permit. In the Savannah News I saw an article from Major Sidney Her bert, stating that he had been relieved of rheumatism by Swift's Specific, and I at once commenced to take it. In three days I began to improve, and in three weeks I was free from disease and attending to business. My appetite re turned and I rapidly regained the lost flesh. I have waited this long to be sure that mv relief was nermanent. Should any of your readers be suffering from use mental and physical prostra' tion, and be induced by my experience to find relief, I should be glad. Yours respectfully, . C. P.
