Dr. J. Bradfield:
Snt—My daughter lias been suffering for
many years with that dreadful affliction
known as Female Disease, which has cost
me many dollars, and notwithstanding I had
the best medioal attendance, could not find
relief. I liave used many other kinds of
medicines without any effect. I had just
about given her up, was out of heart, but
happened in the store of W. W. Eckler sev
eral weeks since, and he, knowing of my
daughter's affliction, persuaded me to buy a
bottle of your Female Regulator. Site be
gan to improve at once I was so delighted
with Hi effect that I bought several more
bottles. The price, sl. 50 a bottle, seemed
to be very high at first, hut now I think it
the cheapest preparation on the globe; and,
knowing what I do about it, if to day one
of my family was suffering with.that awful
disease, I would liave it if it cost SSO a
bottle, for I can truthfully say it lias cured
my daugter spnd and well, and myself and
wife do most heartily recommend your Fe
male Regulator- to be just what is recoal
mended to be, Respectfully,

over the various Liniments generally sold.
It is a powerful stimulant and excites tbe
secretions to a healthy action, it is very
penetrating and through the pores of the
skin is absorbed and carried to the seat or

pend upon tbe amount of rubbing or friction
applied, but depends upon its absorbent ac
tion.
It is good in all eases of sprains, strains.

SELECTED POETRY.
WHY?
I did not love him long ago,
Instead ot “yes” I gave him “no."
I did not love him, but to day
I read his marriage notice. Pray,
Why was I sad, when never yet
Has my heart knowu the least regret
Over that whispered “no?” And why,
Reading the notice, did I sigh?
No analyst can guess the cauie:
A woman’s reason laughs at laws.
Sure I am glad to know tlie wound
I gave is healed—that he has found
Love’s blessedness and peace, and yet
A woman never can forget
The man who once has loved him, and
To-day I seem to see him staml,
With every glance a mute caress,
Still pleading.for the longed-for “yes.”
His early love for me is dead—
Another lives in that love’s stead!
And if he loves her well* as men
Should love tlieir chosen ones, why then,
He must be glad that, long ago,
Instead of “yes” I gave him “no.”
Perhaps tiiat is tlie reason why
I mad Ihe notice witli a sigh.

JUDGE CRAWFORD SPEAKS,
DECLINING, FOB TO EN
TER THE Gt RlflN./iOmaL RACE.
Tbo Columbus Enquirer-Sun, a
few days ago, contained the fellow
ing letter from Judge Martin J.
Crawford:
To the Enquirer-Sun—lt would
be uncaudid in me not to say that
it was my intention to resigu my
position on the bench and to sub
mit may name squarely to the con
vention soon to assemble, as a can
didate for the office of? Governor,
but the unfinished business of the
last term in which Judge Speer
presided with us forbids my resign
ation and tbe leaving one Judge
only of those then on the bench to
dispose of the cases. And so, too,
of the railroad tax cases in which
the Chief Justice, was disqualified
and Judge Branham of the circuit
bench was appointed to preside.
To leave unfinished work would be
a neglect of duty, and to become a
candidate being still in office is in
consistent with ray views. Al
though these cases could be dis
posed of before the assembling of
the convention,' yet to become a
candidate without resigning, even
for these good reasons, would af
ford opportunity for it being said
that this was but a subterfuge to
wait and see the result, that I might
be sure of the one or the other of
the offices. I therefore say to the
public, to whom I am indebted for
many honorable and distinguished
positions, that I am not a candidate
for the nomination soon to be
made. Martin J. Crawford.
This is a manly, frank and alto
gether admirable expression of
Judge Crawford's wishes and de
termination relative to the pending
canvass for the nomination for
Governor. Nothing is left to infer*
ence or construction—all is plainly,
briefly told. He really desires to
serve the people as their chief ex
ecutive, but will not solicit the of
fice while he remains upon the
bench. He cannot resign because
of the peculiar condition of the
court, and therefore he is not a
candidate for the nomination. Be
fore the convention meets, howev
er, every impediment to his candi
dacy for the office will be removed,
and though he distinctly savs and
means that he is restrained by cir
cumstances from seeking the nom
ination, there is uothing said or
meant that can prevent his accep
tance of it if tendered. And, real
ly, the public good does not require
that any man should do more than
make known his willingness to
serve. Everything done beyond
this is for self, not country,

JAMES S. BOYNTON.
IA SHORT SKETCH OF HIS LIFE AND PO
LITICAL CAREER.
James Stoddard Boynton was
horn in Henry county, Ga., May 7,
1 1833. His father, Elijah S. Boj’utou,
' was a native of Vermont, but came
South when a young man and was
| one of the pioneers of Henry coun
ty. He had eleven children. James
being his seveuth son. His pa
rents were well to do, but never
attaiued wealth. His early school
ing wuß obtained at the old field
school. Despite his limited op
portunities, yoivig Boynton’s active
mind ">U rated (or knovWedge. It
; Wlis his Cherished purpose*, to adopt
j the profess on of a soldier, and lie
indulged the hope of entering at
; West .Point. At sixteen he was
sent to the school of Rev. W. A.'
Rogers. In November 1846, he
lost his father, who left him a bun- 1
died acres of land undone slave.]
His guardian died not long-after
wards, but with the consent of his
successor, be set out to eqfer the
military academv at Marietta. He
was voting and innocent, and was
victi mined by a sharper, who per
suaded him to go to Rome, fleeced
him of greater portion of hi&
1110 ney and left him friendless. He !
went’ to Cave Spring, where he at
tended Hearne s school. He re- [
Brained there while his means per- ]
initted, but was oomplelled to be-1
think himself of gaining a liveli
hood. He returned to Henry copn j
ty, and on invitation of L. T. Dovnl, j
a leading lawyer of McDonough, he 1
beoame a student of law in that
■gentlemen's office.
Ho was admitted to tho bar after
seven weeks of thorough study,
receiving tbe congratulations of
Judge Stark and Ihe eutiro bar.
He forthwith removed to Monticel
lo, Jasper county, and in December,
1852, married Miss Fannie Loyall,
of that town. Mr. Boynton con
tinued to reside at Monticello till
January, 1858, when he removed,
to Julia n, Butts, county, where
he former a partnership with Col.
Jits. R. Lyons, and rose rsJjidly in
his profession. In January, 1860,
lie was elected Ordinary of the
county* defeating a popular rival,
the candidate of the majority party
in the county.
When the trump of war sounded
Mr. Boyntcn promptly responded
and entered the thirtieth Georgia
Regiment as a private. On the
re-organization of the regiment in
1802, Private Boynton was eleteted
Major, and proved himself a gullaut
and efficient officer. His regiment
served at Savannah, Charleston,
Wilmington and Pocataligo, but in
May, 1863, was ordered to Jackson,
Miss., serving in the campaign in
that State, and later joined the
army at Chicamanga. Major Boyu
ton and his Colonel, J. H. Maugum,
had been complimented on the
evacuation of Jackson by Gen.
Walker, for gallantry. The regi
ment was in the heat of the fight
and lost more than half its roster.
Col. Mangum was permanently
disable by a wound received in the
fight, and Major Boynton became
commander of the regiment. The
Thirtieth Georgia was thencefor
ward at Missionary Ridge, Dalton,
in the retreat to Atlanta, and in
the battles around that city', Col.
Boynton always leading it into
action. He was shot down while
in advance of his men in the battle
of Decatur, July 22,1864. In Feb
ruary, 1865, he rejoined his com
mand on his crutches, and remain
ed with it till it was disbanded.
He had removed his family to
Griffin iu 1863, where, after the
war, ho resumed the practice of
law. In 1866 he was erected Judge
of Splading County Court, which
position he filled with ability till
the court was abolished. He was
also for three years Mayor of
Griffin. In 1877 his devoted wife
died, and ho is stiil a widower.
Two sons were born to the happy
pair. These are still living, the
youngest of whom is in Texas.
In 1880 Col. Boynton was elect
ed to the State Senate from the
Twenty-six district, of which be
was chosen President. He was
re-elected a Senator in 1882, and
again chosen President of the Sen
ate, becoming under the provision
of the Constitution, Governor of
his State by virtue of his office,
filling the interregnum caused by
the death of our late venerated
Chief Magistrate.
Acting Governor Boynton is of
Scotch descent. He is a consistent
member of the Missionary Baptist
Church. A selfinade man, a law
yer of recognizied ability, very
popular, eloquent; a strikiug type
of manhood, being six feet three
inches in heighth and splendidly
proportioned,' he is, physically, the
antetype of the dead Executive, but
like him rose by the force of his
will aDd the power of his mind.
The son of a carpenter, he has
become the chief magistrate of the
Empire State of the South.
THE BETROTHAL.
Oh for one hour of such enchanted light
! As made a fairer daytime in the sky,
When on the willow bank we sat that night,
My old-lime love and I !
Awhile we talked so low and tenderly.
We felt the listening trees above us lean;
] And louder far the silence seemed to me
That fell at last between.
; Her heart lay floating on its quiet thoughts,
Like water lilies on a tranquil lake;
' And love within, unkuown, because un
sought,
Lay dreaming half awake.
Alt, love is the lightest sleeper ever known!
A whisper, and lie started plain to view;
Old as the heavens seemed our story grown,
While yet tlie moon was new.
And when she spoke, her answer seemed tlie
while
Sweeter for sweetness of the lips that told,
| Setting a precious word within a smile—
A diamond ringed with gold.
kffpomed far us the perfect ccnsupy
LlJriierr*'ff&a the Cun and overran tin: brim:
i And nil the stars, processional, that hour,
i. Chanted a bridul hymn.
; All, Tune, all iafter days may ll}' away,
| Such joy as that hast but once to give,
I And love is royal front bis crowning day,
j Though kingdontless be live.
“Where are the -Nine?”
In a recent report of the Young
Men’s Christian Association, of
Brooklyn, we find the following
statement: “Less than oue-tentli
of our young men are in the chur
ches and Sunday-schools. This
j statement is made after tho most
I careful investigation.” A sad state
ment it indeed is. And what is
I true of Brooklyn, the “City of
| Churches,” is probably true also
|of New York, Chicago, St. Louis,
] and the great cities of our land gen
| erally.
] Our y oung men*aro the hope of
] the nation. From their ranks are
ito come our rulers, and the occti
| pants of all important positions,
j both in Church aud State. They I
| are soon to become heads of farai- j
lies, to train, in large measure, the j
generation that is to succeed. And !
how? aud for what? In view ’of (
these things, well may we ask with
deep solicitude, “Whero are the
nine ?” It is easy to say where they
ought to be. They ought to be,
with the small minority of their j
number, from Sabbath to Sabbath !
in the churches of tho liviug God, i
aud in the Sunday-school, fitting j
.or the responsible,, stations which
they ai'6 soon to* ~occupy. But,
alas! they are not there. They
seldom, o#fever, enter tlib doors tyf
the sanctuary. And where are
they s ' Tbe same report from which
we have quoted also states that:
“In the city there are 2,567 licen- j
sed liquor-saloons and 491 licensed j
billiard aud pool tables, besides!
hundreds of places where gambling
and other vices are indulged iu.
The vast majority of the patrons
are young men.” Here they con
gregrate, rather than iu the house
of God. And what is tho result ?
We quote Again from the report:
‘‘ln one of our largest State pris
ons two-thirds of its inmates are
men, and two-thirds of these are
under twenty-six years of age.”
Neglecting the house of God,
turning away their ear from hear
ing instruction, and putting them
selves under demoralizing influen
ces, they become corrupted, and
large numbers of them become cur
ses, instead of blessings to society.
Girls, Learn to Cook.—Ye a ,
yes, learn how to cook, girls, and
learn how to cook well. What
right lias a girl to marry and go
iuto a bouse of her own unless
she knows how to superintend ev
ery branch of housekeeping, and
she cannot properly superintend
uuless she has some practical
knowledge herself. It is some
times asked, sueeringly, ‘‘What
kind of a man is he who would
marry a cook ?” The fact is that
meu do not think enough of this;
indeed, most men marry without
thinking whether the woman of his
choice is capable of cooking him a
meal, and it is a pitj he is so short
sighted, as his health, his cheerful
ness, and, indeed, his success in life,
depend in a very great, degree on
the kind of food he eats; in fact, the
whole household is influenced by
the diet. Feed them on fried cakes,
fried meats, hot bread and other
indigestible viands, day- after day,
and they will need medicines to
make them well.
Let all girls liaye a share in
housekeeping at home before they
marry; let each superintend some
department bv turns. It need not
occupy half the time to see that the
house has been properly swept,
dusted, and put in order, to pre
pare puddings and make dishes,
that many young ladies spend in
reading novels which enervate both
mind and body and uufit them for
every day life. Women do not, as
a general rule, get pale faces doing
housework. Their sedentary hab
its, in overheated rooms, combined
with ill chosen food, are to blame
for bad health. Our mothers used
to pride themselves on their house
keeping and fine needlework. Let
the present generation add to its
i list of real accomplishments tlie
' art of properly preparing food for
the human body.—Sob

Tlie Break of Day.
Mrs. Mary Bryan, of the “Sunny
South,” in an article on Mr. Stepli
| ens’ death savs :
Ho died just as the day was
breaking. It was the hour he had
lately said he looked for death to
come. Once, this winter, a friend
j took him some flowers. In the con
versation that ensured, he spoke of
Henry Timrod’s poems—of that
saddest, sweetest one—his favorite
—called, “A Common Thought,”
the poem poor Timrod had whis
pered with husky lips just before
he died. Mr. Stephens repeated
■ it almost in full:
i Somewhere on this earthly planet,
In the dust pi Bowers to be—
] In the dewdfnfjAtmf the sntislifnc,'
Waits a solemn hour for me. -
At tbe wakeful hour of midnight,
I behold it dawn in mist;
And I hear a sound of sobbing
Through the darkness—hist! oh hist!
In n dim and murky chamber,
I am breathing life away;
Someone draws a curtain softly.
And I watch the broa Tiling day.
As it purples in the zenith,
As it brightens on the lawn,
There’s a hush of death about me,
And a whisper, “He is gone.”
“I have always thought I should
die at day break,” he went on.
“Most people die between mid
night aud dawn. Physicians say
that the life-forces are (hen at the
lowest ebb—the pulse at its lowest
beat.”
He did die at that hour. AH
i through his illness he had beeu un
luble to sleep. Morphine brought
j stupor but not rest. Late that
'last evening the three physicians
consulted and decided to adminis
ter a powerful hypnotic. But they
discovered that a more potent
sleep-compeller was close at hand.
The Angel of Rest was hovering
over the tired sufferer; and at last
*“Tlic quiet eye lids closed, lie hud
Another morn than ours."
Tstliuagc on Stephens.
He was one of the few men, who
like James Lenox, of New York,
could stay outside of the marriage
relation and yet become more gen
erous and genial as the yeais went
by. His heart was largo enough
; for the whole world to enter. Only
eighty pounds of physical weight at
any moment the last forty years,
the possibility was that through the
insufficient bars of flesh flu spirit
might fly away. Though he lived
iu stormy times be was a champion
of peace—the very last man in his
State to surrender to the decree of
secession, crying out for compro
mise, counseling amity. Had there
been ten sneb meu at the South,
and teu such meu at the North, the
grave trenches would never have
been dug. Wlmt an example to all
ages as to what invalidism may ac
complish is this one emaciated man
now departed ! Why give up tho
battle of life because some of your
weapons are captured? Look out
for the soldier’s crutch and the old
man’s staff if they be wielded for
patriotism or Christianity. It is
not the number of guns we carry,
but the way wo unlimber them.
More than ever am I impressed with
the fact that the soul is distinct
from the body. That man was a
fool who thought that the puny
creature in the invalid’s chair was
Alexander H. Stephens. It was
only the shell. Away with agnostip.-
talk about the soul being only-the
development of the holy ! No, Al
exander H. Stephens lives. Ho
widens out iuto grander existence.
Never was there a grander lesson of
immortality. So much soul and so
little body. What a relief it must'
be to get out of a cri| pie’s vehicle!
Wiug instead of crutch! Health
instead of sickness! Rapture in-...
stead of pain ! Heaven instead of,
earth ! lain glad for this addi
tional evidence that Christianity is .
not au imbecile fabrication, If it
had been a sham Alexander H, Ste- .
phems was tlie man to find it out.

—An encouraging evidence of'
the material progress of South
Carolina, says the New's and Cou
rier, is the attention the farmers
are giving tp the raising of improv
ed cattle. There are now at least;
four flourishing stock farms in tbq
State, and In nearly every county
there are many fine specimens of
registered cattle of royal pedigree.'
At the last State Fair there was a
larger display of fine stock than has
ever before been collected in Sonth
Carolina, and the countv papers
report the frequent purchase of
the best breeds of cattle. This im
provement may be attributed tq
the adoptiou of the general Stock’
the necessity which has
beeu forced upon the planters of
keepiug fewer cattle. This neces-
paradoxical as it may seem,
means better beef and a huger
supply of the produce of the dairy.
