COUNTY POLITICS.
To-morrow Is the day appointed
by the Democratic Executive Com-
mltteo of this county to nominate
county officers. This is a depart
ure from the old methods, and is In
the nature of an experiment In
Sumter. It is to be hoped that a
full vote will be polled.
All the candidates are good men
and each has his special claim
The canvas has been quite brisk
lor the past two weeks, but has
been conducted in a pleasant and
gentlemanly manner. Whoever
may be nominated, the Interests of
the county will be safe. All the
candidates have agreed to abide
the nomination, so the vote to
morrow will practically settle It.
GIVES THEM CREDIT.
The Albany News gives the A1
Ilance credit for helping to elect
Gordon in the following:
"The Alliance elected him, and
in his election they have secured a
man who will represent their in
terests, as he has made this possibly
his last political battle of his life,
with (be fearless courage of n sol
dier who prefers death rather than
surrender his convictions.
In his election the order has re
stored itself to a great extent In the
confidence of the outside public,
from which through the tempora
ry direction of its corrupt and
vonal leaders it came very near be
ing forever dislodged."
The Atlanta Journal, In a leading
editorial, commends the Alllancb
members ns follows:
"The votos of an Alllauoe legis
lature send General John B. Gor
don to the Senate.
This tact stamps out of existence
the oft-repeated charge that his
election meaut the defeat of the Al
liance. The great organization of
the farmers presents to-day a moro
solid front to the bayonet-barbed
forces of monopoly than It has ever
presented before.
It is true that some Individuals
are mightily disappointed, that a
few leaders are weeping over hopes
that are dead, and perchance, It Is
also true that a fair number of hon
est men with golden hearts feel
that a Waterloo has met them; but
the great rank aud file, the large
majority who are the people, the
men who bear the country’s pros
perity upon their shoulders—these
are satlsfled to-day.
The breaches that exist will soon
be healed. The hearts that are sore
will soon be glad. All Georgia, the
solid South, the Democrats of the
union will rejoice that John B. Gor
don Is In the Senate. Above all
men, the great body of the Alli
ance brotherhood should be content.
By their votes they have selected
as their representative a man whoso
heart throbs In sympathy with
their own, a man whose interests
are Identical with theirs, and who
consecrates his exalted abilities,
under God’s guidance, to their ser
vice.
Gordon’s election will prove the
preservation of the Alliance. To
that great order, whose best tnter-
ests we have always championed
and will continue to champion, we
eay to-day: Close up your ranks,
let harmjwj prevail, let no discord
strike the sound of success, stand
with souls linked together—and the
victory Is youn.”

Friendship, Not. 19.—Ws are
having the best weather now for
gathering erops we have had this
season, and the fsrmersjsre making
good use of It. The cotton flelda

corn is being housed rapidly now.
Cane Is being ground, potatoes are

crops.
Last Saturday {morning there
came a mad dog through Friend
ship. He created much{excltemeDt
for a few minutes. The dog be
longed to a negro by the name of
Jep Hart, some five or six miles
fiom here. The dog did no damage
here, but done right smart before
he reaobeil here. He bit two negro
boys, Borne live or six hogs, and
several dogs, but he was overtaken
eome two or three miles from here
by a crowd of boys, aud after sev
eral well-almod shots with pistols,
and two blows with a shot gun, he
was killed.
George Redden, a negro boy,
happened to a serious acoldent last
Sunday, while squirrel hunting.
He climbed a tree some twenty-
live or thirty feet from the ground,
to run a squirrel out of the tree,
and George deelded that he was as
active as the squirrel, so he ven
tured out on a limb of the tree, as
the squirrel did, and' thought he
could make couuectlon with the
branch of the next tree, as his fore
runner did, but his hind foot slip
ped and he went to the ground, and
was fatally hurt. Don't think he
will ever get over It.

Hawk’ns & Brooks,
The trouble occurred down at the PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS
Insursnco Agsinet Disease.
In certain Instances there have
been arrangements made between
a physician and the head of a fam
ily thut a fixed amount should he
paid for each day tho various mem
bers of the family continued In good
health. But should sickness enter
the household, the physiciau’s
usual stipend was discontinued.
Such au agreement is founded on
common sense, for we don’t want
to be made well, we want to be kept
well. There Is a great deal of un
necessary sickness resulting from a
want of careful attention to bodily
requirements. Keep the blood
pure, keep the functional habits of
the body regular, counteract the
effects of exposure by always hav
ing a bottle of Dr. John Bull’s Sar
saparilla lu the household and
using it in anticipation of an attack
of Illness or when the very first
symptoms aro manifest. Disease
will not trouble you If you will heed
this good advice. It is an excel
lent preventive of disease and de
cay, as well as a safo oure.—Marlon
Banner.
The Pure Stuff.
Stonoy Glover, on Forsyth street,
Is one of the most quiet business
men In Americas. He came here
wlthont a cent of money, and by
strlot attention to business hat built
up an enviable patronage, second
to no other In the oity. There Is
one reason we ean give for that—be
handles strictly first-class goods, is
courteous and accommodating to
all. Among bis brands ot whis
kies Is Garrett’s Private Stock, war
ranted pure, unadulterated, and
fifteen years old. Nobody else han
dles it. He Is sole agent, in Amerl-
ous for It, and you bet your sweet
life It takes the cake. Hts cigars
are of the first water. Among them
is the Hoffman House Boquet and
other brands.
If you want to be treated royally
call aud see him. He will do you
good, and certainly no harm.

Roney, Nov. 18—Most of the
farmers of this seotlon are about
done gathering their crops, and
cane grinding is the order of the
day. G, N. Jordan has been mak
Ing syrup for the past two weeks,
and from the cane that he has iu
the yard it looks as If he would bo
making syrup for some time to
come. All that are In need of syrup
will do well to call on BIr. Jordan
as he has plenty to sell that is as
nice and good ns can be made. As
BIr. Jordan Is sn old hand at syrup
making one trial of bis syrup will
prove this assertion.

The Recorder bad occasion the
other day, to complain of the terri

the sentiment of all living or do
ing business In the neighborhood
of his stand.
And now the raoket Is Increased
two fold. The steam “flying jen
ny" has been planted on the same
square, and between the : two, and
the crowds of negroes whioh gath
er around, those Interested In oth
er pursuits are kept In a frenzied
state. The negro singers yell, and
the hand organ grinds, eaeh trying
to see which can drown ont the
other, and the spectators join In
ont of sympathy, or something
else, for their laughter cannot be
aroused by the attempts at fun
making.
The citizens living around the
square have got enough of It, and
yesterday a petition was hauded
In to His Honor, the Mayor, and
the elty council, to do away with
both of the nuisances. AU doing
business aDywbere around the
square put their names to the peti
tion with pleasure, and doubtless
the annoyance will be done away

Mr. Harry Layton received a

for Savannah.
His many frlsnds here trust that
good news will meet him, and his
mother mueb better on hit arrival.
