The Senatorship.
After looking carofully over the list of
names presented all over the State for
our next United States Senator, we know
of none that could more worthily fill the ;
position than the present incumbent.
Hon. T. M. Norwood enjoys the respect
and esteem of his, fellow Senators, is r
dignified, able, and industrious repre
sentative of our State, and it would be
difficult to fill his" position by a better
man. He is able and ready to speak
■whenever the proper time'arrives, but is
not one of those who believes in flooding
the'country with utterances which are
two often misunderstood or misconstrued
by the people of one section of the coun
try. But one fault has ever been pointed
out in his record —his vote on the back
salary grab—and as that has been en
dorse by the re election of Mr. Stephens,
wo presume that is not’ccnsidered a very
heinous offence by the people of at least
one Congressional district of the State.
Further, we believe that Senators
should ho chosen from different portions
of the State, and almostf all the promi
nent candidates for the position are from
the section so worthily represented by
Senator Gordon. This is really no valid
objection, but it wouidjgive more general
satisfaction to the people, we doubt not,
if this question was given'proper consid
eration.
We can see no goodVeason, therefore,
why Mr. Norwood should not be his own
successor.

[Solicitor General.
As’tbis officer has to be appointed for
the Norther Circuit by our new Goveror,
we do not know one who would fill the
place So well as our accomplished young
friend, J. P. Shannon, Esq. With an
ambition to excel, with energy enough to
discharge any duty he undertakes with
faithfulness,’anda knowledge of
law for one so young, he could fill the
post he aspires to as creditably as any
one who is named as a candidate, and he
has some very honorable and able com
petitors. John is worthy of the place,
he needs it, and we ardently hope he
will get it.

Vick's Floral Guide.
We are in. receipt of this beautiful
publication for the first quarter of 1877.
James Vick is one of the, most liberal
men in the country. He offers for the
best exhibition of cut flowers, at every
State or county fair, premiums ranging
from 820 down. How he can afford it
is not our business, but it stamps him
as one of the generous men of America
After trying Mr. Vick’s seeds for several
years, we can conscientiously testify to
their excellence.

South Carolina.
The news from our neighbor State ha3
been of a very meagre character the past
week. We learn that General Hampton
was peaceably inaugurated last Thurs
day, but of any circumstances attending
it we are in total ignorance. We- have
unabiding faith, however, j that every
thing will work out right.
The Members of the Democratic leg
islature of South Carolina had their
drafts for pay honored at the bank. This
knocks the nigger out of time, and Rad
icalism without money to back it is dead.

The residence of Mr. R. B. Cade was
burned in Abbeville last week. It is not
difficult to tell what the color of the in
cendiary is, because Mr. Cade is an active
Democrat.
To. the voters of Elbert county : I feel
it due to myself and to you to make some
statement through The Gazette. I learn
that there is a rumor in circulation that
I am trying to run on the Radical ticket
among the negroes. That is false. I
have not said anything to white or black
that should give rise to any such rumor.
Asa poor, crippled soldier I earnestly
solicit your votes, assuring you that
when you support me you are voting for
a full blooded Democrat.
E. B. Higginbotham.
Dec. 16lb, 1876.
To the voters of Elbert county : E. 8.
Higginbotham who is seeking the office
of Tax Collector at the ensuing election,
lost both his legs while fighting for his
country, and to my own knowledge he is
a very poor, needy man, dependent upon
his friends and county men to put him
where he can make a support for himself
and family. He is competent to fill the
office and a very worthy man for the
position, and I earnestly solicit you to
cast your votes for him.

The S. S. Tree.
It was determined by tbs Elbert,on
Sunday school last. Sunday to have the
Christmas tree Tuesday night, the 26’h.
Much is being done to make the ceiebra
tion a success, and we are sure that if
all concerned do their duty it will be
the festival of the holidays, and an occa
sion long to be cherished and remem
bered in the hearts of the little folks as
one freighted with pleasure.
Schenck’s Mandrake Pills
Will be found to possess those qualities nocesary
to the total eradication of all billious attacks,
prompt to start the secretion? of the liver, and
give a healthy tone to the entire system. Indeed,
it is no ordinary discovery in medical science to
have invented a remedy for these stubborn com
plaints, ivhich develop all the results produced
by a heretofore free use of calomel, a mineral
justly dreaded by mankind, and acknowledged
to be destructive in the extreme tq the human ,
system. That the properties of certain vegeta- j
bles comprise all the virtues of calomel without j
its injurious tendencies, is now an admitted fact, \
rendered indisputable by scientific researches; j
and those who use the Mandrake Pills will be j
fully satisfied that the best mvdicines are those j
provided by nature in the common herbs and :
roots of the fields.
These Pills open the bow-els and® correct all !
billious derangements without salivation or j
any of the, injurious effects of calomel or 1
other poisons. The secretion of bile is promoted j
by these pills as will be seen by the altered color I
of the stools, and disappearing of the sallow
complexion and cleansing of the tongue.
Ample directions for use accompany each box
of pills Prepared only by J. 11. Schenck & Son,
at their principal office, corner Sixth and Arch
Streets Philadelphia,and for sale by all druggists
and dealers.
Price 25 cents per box. lm
Three Points for Consideration.
During tbe past live years VEGETINE has been
steadily working itself into public favor, and
those who were at first most incredulous in re
gard to its merits are now its most ardent friends
and supporters.
There are three essential causes for those hav
ing such a horror ol patent medicines, changing
their opinion and lending their influences toward
the advancement of Vegetine. Ist—lt. ij_.au
honest,y prepared medicine from barks ,root®nd
herbs. 2nd—lt honestly accomplishes all that
is claimed for it, without leaving any bad effects
in the system. 3rd—lt presents honest vouchers
in testimonials from honest, well know citizens,
whose signatures are a sufficient guarantee of
their earnestness in the matter. Taking into
consideration the vast quantity of medicine
brought conspicuously before the public through
t.he flaming advertisements in the newspaper
columns, with no proof oi merit or genuine
vouchers of what it has done, we should be par
doned for manifesting a small degree of pride in
presenting the following testimonial from Rev.
J. S. Dickerson, D. D., the popular and ever
genial pastor of the South Baptist Church, Bos
ton.
The Tired Body Sues for Sleep.
Boston. Marchf6, 1874.
11. R. Stevens, Esq.: Dear Sir—lt. is as much
from a sense of dut}- as of gratitude that, I write
co say that your Vevetine—even it it is a patent
medicine—has been of great help to me when
.nothing el?e seemed to avail which I could safely
use. Either excessive menta. work or unusual
care brings upon; me nervous exhaustation that
desperately needs sleep, but as desperately de
fies it. Night after night the poor tired body
sues for sleep until the day-dawn is welcomed
back, and we begin work tired out with an al
most fruitless chase after rest. Now I have
found that a little Ykgetine taken just before 1
retire gives me sweet and immediate sleep, and
without any of the usual narcotics. I think two
things would tend to make brain-workers sleep.
Ist—A little te-s work. 2nd—A little more
Vegetine. This prescription'has helped me.
Now I have a particular horror of “Patent
Medicine,” but 1 have a greater horror of being
afraid to tell tbe straight out truth. Tbe Vege
ti-n'e has helped me and I own it up. Yours Ac.,
J. S. DICKERSON.
Taiiiablf Evidcuce.
The following unsolicited testimonial from
Rev. 0. T. Walker, D. D formerly pastor of
Bowdoiti Square 1 hutch, Boston, and at present
settl and in Providence R. 1., must be deemed its
reliable evidence. No one should fail to observe
that this testimonial is the result of two years’
experience in use of Vegetine in the Rev. Mr.
Walker’s family, who now pronounce it invalu
able :
Rrovidencr, R. 1., 164 Transit Street.
H. R. Stevens, Esq.: I feci bound to express
with my signature the high value I place upon
your Vegetine. My family have.used it for the
last two years. In nervous debility it is invalu
able, and I recommend it to all who may need
an invigorating, renovating tonic.
0 T. WALKER,
Formerly Pastor of Bowdoin S !uareChu.rch,Bo’n.
The JSest Evidence.
The following letter from Rev. E. S. Best, pas
tor of the M. E Church, Natick, Mass., will be
read with interest by many physicians; ttlso ’
those suffering from the same disease as afflicted
the son of the,Rev. 13. ; S. Best. No person can !
doubt this testimony, as there is no doubt about
the curative power of Vegetine :
.Natick, .Mass.. Jan. Ist. 1874.
Mr. 11. R. Stevens: Dear Sir—-We have good
reason for regarding your Vegetine a medicine
of the greatess value, We feel assured that it
lias been the means of saving our son’s life. He
is now seventeen years of age ; for the last two
years he has been suffering from necrosis of his
leg, caused by scrofulous affection, and was so
far reduced that nearly ail who saw him thought
his recovery impossible A council of able phy
sicians could give us but the fainest hope of his
ever rallying ; two of .the number declaring that
lie was beyond the reach of human remedies,
that even amputation could not save him, as he
had not vigor enough to endure the operation.
Just then we commenced giving him Vegetine
and from that time 'to the present he has been
continuously improving. He has lately resumed
studies, thrown away bis crutches and cane, and
walks about cheerfully and strong. j
Though-there is still some discharge from the |
opening where his limb was lanced, we have tbe j
fullest confidence that in a little time he will be
perfectly ettued.
He has taken about three dozm bottle of Veg
etine, but lately use but little, as he declares he
is too well to be taking medicine.
Respectfully yours.
E. S. Best,
Mrs. L. C. F. Best.
Reliable Evidence.
278 Baltic St., Brooklyn, N. Y., Nov. 14,1874.
H R. Stevens. Esq. : Dear Sir —From personal
benefit received by it's use, as well as from per
sonal knowledge of those whose cures thereby
hive seemed almost miraculous. I can most
heartily and sincerely recommend the Vegetine
for the complaints fpr which it is claimed to euro.

THE SUN.
18Y7, NEW T 03584. 18YT.
The different editions of Tun Sun during the
next year will be the same as during the yeur
that lias just passed. The daily edition will on
week days be a sheet of four pages, and on Sun
days a sheet of eight pages, or 56 broad columns;
while the weekly edition will be a sheet of eight
pages of the same dimensions and character
that are already tamiliar to our friends.
The Sun will continue to be the strenuous
advocate of reform and retrenchment, and of tho
substitution of statesmanship wisdom, and in
tegrity for hollow pretence, imbecility, and fraud
in the administration of public affairs. It will
contend for the government of the people by the
people and for the people, as opposed to govern
ment, by frauds in the ballot-box and in the
counting of votes, enforced by military violence.
It will endeavor to supply its readers—a body
now not far from a million of souls—with tho
most careful, complete,and trust worthy accounts
of current events, and will employ for this pur
pose a numerous and carefully selected staff of
reporters txnd correspondents. Its reports from
Washington, especially, will be full, accurate,
and fearless ; and it will doubtless countiuue to
deserve and enjoy the hatred of those übo thrive
by plundering the Treasury or by usurping what
the law does not give them, while it will endeavor
to merit the confidence ot the public by defend
ing the rights of the people against tbe encroch
uients of unjustified power.
The price of the daily Sun will be 55 cents a
month or s(>.so a year, post paid, or with the
Sunday edition $7.20 a year.
The Sunday edition alone, eight pages, $1.20
a year, post paid.
The Weekly Sun, eight pages of 56 broad
columns, will be furnished during 1877 at the
rate of $1 a year, post paid
Tho benefit ot this large reduction from the
picvious rate for the Weekly can be enjoyed by
individual subscribers without the necessity of
making up clubs. At the same time, if any of
our friends choose to aid in extending our cir
culation, we shall be grateful to them,and every
such person who sends us ten or more subscrib
j er? from the place w II be entitled to one copy
|of the paper for himself without charge, At
I °ne dollar a year, postage paid, the expense of
piper and printing are barely repaid; and, con
sidering the size of the sheet and the quality of
its contents, we are confident the people will
consider The Weekly Sun the cheapest newspa
