A Washington dispatch says: “Seuc
t r Hampton, of South Caroliua, who has
just arrived from his home, said to a rep
resentative of the World that the stories
about tho accident which befell him in
Mississippi were very much exaggerated.
‘All there was ef it,’ said the Senator,
4 i that while passing through some
underbrush in the forest the lock of the
gun, which I was carrying in my right
hand, caught ou a grapevine, drawing it
bek and causing its discharge. The
l .rrel of the gun was resting on my right
leg and in my left hand I was usiug the
r .us of the bridle. While engaged in
directing the house I lost sight of the posi
tion of the gun. One barrel was dis
charged, the load taking effect in the
Deck of the animal I was riding. The
horse fell to the ground instantly and
died shortly afterwards. I also fell with
him, but protected myself with my foot
said fell away from the animal, conse
quently was not hurt iu the least. The
ouly damage or injury was the death of
the horse. M,y companions did not hunt
through the forest for me. As soon as
the horse died I took off the bridle and
saddle and placed them were they could
easily be found. I walked about three
miles to the house of a gontleman whom I
know, and there borrowed a fresh horse
and proceeded on my way to join* 1 the
hunting party.”
THE INVESTIGATION.
It will be a source of much gratification
to the friends of Judge Fain and Col.
Rankin, to know that the Legislative
committee appointed to investigate the
charges against them, has thoroughly
Vindicated them. The committee was
searching in its work but failed to find
anything that reflected upon these gen
tlemen, or disclose any improper con
duct upon their part.
SOUTHERN FARMERS' INTEREST
AGAIN.
The commissioner of agriculture of
Alabama, in discussing the condition of
the farmers of that State, says:
I think the time has come when we
may cease to bewail the condition of the
farmer. They are doubtless making lees
money than they would like to make,
but this is the case with men of all pur
suits. They live well, take care of their
families, and I think less in debt at this
time than they have been for the last
twenty years. They pay their taxes
promptly, which is in my opinion the
very best test of fke pecuniar}', condition
of a country that can be devised. I am
authentically informed that the settlers of
the tax collectors for the tax year just
terminated are that most complete,prompt
and satisfactory that have ever been
known in the history of the State. It is
true that our people are in debt, but the
time will never come when they will be
otherwise, and as for the much-abused
mortgage system, a very extensive read
ing of agricultural journals satisfies me
that the farmers of every section of the
country are as much addicted to the
practice of mortaging as those of this
State, or the South generally.
As bearing upon the question of the
production of home supplies, it may be
stated that there has been a slight decline
in the number of bales of cotton made in
the last three years, as compared with the
three proceeding, whilst the amount of
corn has considerably increased, and oats
in a still greater degree. The increase in
every species of live stock is very con
siderable, the number of bogs, which was
less than 350,000 in 1880, being now up
wards of 1,300,000. But lor the hog
cholera, the ravages of which are fre
quently felt in every region of the State,
the farmers of the State would, as a gen
eral thing, produce a sufficiency of meat
for their own wants. It should not be
forgotten, howeyer, tnat stock raising is a
very different business from farming,
though not unfrequently combined with
it. The farmer who confines himself
simply to ciop production risks the pro
ceeds of the current year, whilst the
raiser of stock in a country subject to
epidemic risks his own capital as well as
his current gains.
I am satisfied that for aeyeral years
past the farmers of the State have been
producing quite a sufficient supply of
grain, but as a matter of course, this sup
ply has not, nor in the nature of things
should be, equally distributed. The re
sult is, that whilst iu one section of the
Slate corn was selling at less than the
cost of production, in other regions it sold
for at least double that cost. Corn and
other grain can be brought from the
grain centers of the Northwest, at a cost
for carriage, less than it can be carried
from a part of the State were there is a
surplus to that in which a deficit exists,
unless there is railroad transportation
available; which accounts for the fact that
even where upon the whole a sufficient
supply has been made in the State, it is
yet brought from the West more or less
every year.
Comminuted.
TAX-PAYERS TICKET FOR COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS,
Z. W. Jackson, John L. Wikle, Van B.
Ranse L. Griffin James L. Irick, William
S. Adams.
At the earnest solicitation of many vot
ers and tax-payers from all sections of the
county, we announce the above-named
gentlemen as a suitable ticket for County
Commiss : oners, to be elected at the com
ing Jar iry election. The election of a
good board of County Commissioners is a
very important matter with our people—
much more so than it is often treated by
our people. It is the County Commis
sioners who levy and see after the collec
tion of our county tax. It is they who
make the appropriations of our money.
They are our financial agents. They
have charge of our roads, our poor, all of
our internal improvements, our public
property and the whole of our county
revenues The election of good, econom
ical and efficient men as commissioners is
of more importance to the people than the
election of any other county officer. By
their action they have a great deal to do
with the amount of county tax we pay.
They have the levying and disbursing c f
about $30,000 collected as tax Irom our
people yearly. It i3 by their good and
economical judgment that we expect our
taxes made light, or it may be by their
bad judgment that our tax is made bur
densome. By them our pauper farm may
be made self-sustaining or a burden, our
marketing roads good or bad. Many of
us lhink our taxes are too high. They
are almost beyond our abil
ity to bear. We are groaning under
their heavy weight. They are extracting
from our people their very necessaries of
life in their payment. Our taxes are
higher than during the days of recon
struction, whon Governor Bullock was
our Chief State Executive, and we have
much less money, our country is not
near so prosperous, and our property and
business are worth much less.
The election of the above-named gen
tleman, who are in every way capable
would be a leap by our people in the di
rection of reform and retrenchment in
our county affairs. They are pledged to
this doctrine. They, by their standing as
business men in our county, are in every
way worthy of the confidence and support
of our people. They would be safe custo
dians in whose hands to risk our county
finances and public affairs, and in trust
ng them we all know we make no oeril.
Now let us elect them w ithout strife, but
harmoniously. $lO on the thousand is
too much tax for any people in our con
dition to pay and live.
Retrenchment Wishers.

SENTENCED TO DEATH.
Hallman to Hang anil Patton t Go to the
Penitentiary.
Dalton, Ga., December 18.—Special.]
—The trials of William Hal man and
Charles Patton, for the murder of Matil
da Gudger, have just ended. Hallman
was found guilty of murder in the first
degree, and sentenced to bo hung on
January 28th, thru giving Whitfield
c muty the first legal hanging it has ever
had. Charles Patton wjb found guilty
of being an accomplice, and was given
ninety-nine years in prison. Hallman
did tlie killiug. Patton, who was pres
ent affd fearing the result of being an
eye witness, coupled with the fuot that
he was courting one of Hnliinau’a sisters,
put the body iu the well and assisted in
c irrying it to the oreek for the sake cf
hii prospective brother-in-law. Thus he
m ale matters worse. Tho Holcomb wo
rn an will be given a cart blanche invifcal
tioa to seek a more sociable town than
Dalton promises to be for them. His
honor, Judge J. C. Fain, presided, and
his charges to the juries and liis pronun
ciation of the sentences delivered to the
prisoners at the bar were effective. The
state was represented by Solicitor J. W.
Harris, Jr., assisted by McCutcken &
Shumate. The defendants by W. K.
Moore, T. R. Jones and S. P. Maddox.
The murder, committed a little more
than a month ago, would never have
been-discovered had ic not rained on the
morning of the day the body was found,
thus keeping Captain Sam Timmier from
going home with his buggy, the one
given Patton the night before by mistake
of a negro at Springfield’s stable. Much
interest was manifested during the trials
by crowds. An appeal for anew trial of
Hallman has been taken,
SOMETHING NEW.
Anew postal card is about to be issued
by the Post Office Department, and will
be ready for distribution in a lew days.
Near the top of the new card, and equi
distant from its two sides edges, is a
portrait of Thomas Jefferson, looking to
the right, on a shaded background,
enclosed within seyeral concentric circles
on an ornate pedestal engraved in
outline. Below ibis pedestal in small
letters, is the legend: “Nothing but the
address to be on this side.” Immediately
beneath the portrait within two of tlie
Circles appears the denomination, “one
cent,’’and on either side, in unshaded pair
nels with arabescue terminations, is the
title, “Postal Card,” in plain Roman let
ters. Above the whole, inscribed upon a
curved ribbon, are the words “United
States.” The design is printed in black.
The new cards will be of the same size as
those now in use, and of the same color
and quality of paper.
An interesting insurance case is report
ed in Middleton, New York: “When the
late Ex-Senator E. M. Madden died in
July, 1885, he was carrying an accident
policy issued by the Travelers’ Inst
ance Company, of Hartford, Conn. His
death it is claimed, and as his physicians
testify, was occasioned by an accidental
fall over a spittoon in his bed-chamber in
the night. The insurance company dis
puted its liability in the ca c e, alleging
that the deceased died of disease, and not
by accident, wherepon Mrs. Ella Madden
Tenbroeck, daughter of the deceased, for
whose benefit the policy was issued
brought suit for the recovery of the sum
of insurance. The case come on trial at
the Orange county circuit on April last
befwe Justice Brown and a jury, and re
sulted in a vc-rdict for the plaintiff of the
amount claimed and costs. The insur
ance company took an appeal to the
General Term, on the ground th it the
verdict was not warranted by the evidence
submitted. The General Term in session,
at Brooklyn, has just handed down a de
cision affirming the verdict of the lower
c )urt, with cost.”
The good honest country folks know
that the host is the cheapest. Also that
Coussens’ Honey of Tar will save time
for them in making a crop, by curing
farm hands speedily of coughs oolds and
throat and luug diseases. C.ty folks who
know all things about a town, use Cous
sen’s Honey of Tar for coughs and colds.
There are many topics so dry, prosaic,
and unromantic, that in writing or speak
ing of them the imagination has no room
for hes fantastic work. Among them we
find various diseases Piles for instance, a
painful fact to so many sufferers. It is
also an incontrovertible foot that Tabler’s
Buckeye Pile Ointment will cure every
case of Piles on the globe if sufferers will
use it.

iThe Oft Told Story
Of the peculiar medicinal merits of Hood's
Sarsaparilla is fully confirmed by the volun
tary testimony of thousands who have tried
it. Peculiar in the combination, proportion,
and preparation of its ingredients, peculiar
in the extreme care with which it is put
up, Hood’s Sarsaparilla accomplishes cures
where other preparations entirely fail. Pecu
liar in the unequalled good name it has made
at home, which is a “tower of strength
abroad,” peculiar in the phenomenal sales
it has attained,
Hood’s Sarsaparilla
is the most popular and successful medicine
before the public today for purifying the
blood, giving strength, creating an appetite.
“I suffered from wakefulness and low
spirits, and also had eczema on the back of
my bead and neck, which was very annoying.
1 took one bottle of Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and
I have received so much benefit that I am
very grateful, and I am always glad to speak
a good word for this medicine.” Mrs. J. S.
Snyder, Pottsville, Penn.

Free Trade,
The reduction cf internal revenne and
the taking off of revenue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has
largely benefitted the consumers, as well
as relieving the burden of home manu
facturers, Especially is this the case
with Greeu’s August Flower and Boe
chee’s German Syrup, as the reduction
of thirty-six cents per dozen, has been
added to increase the size of the bottles
containing these remedies, thereby giving
one-fifth more medicine iu the 75 cent
size. The August Flower for Dyspepsia
and Liver Complaint, and the German
Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles,
have perhaps, the largest sale of any
medicines iu the world. The advantage
of increased size of the bottles will be
greatly appreciaied by the siok aid
afflicted, iu every town and village in
civilized countries. Simple bottles for

To all who are suffering from the errors
