In South Carolina Election.

SMALL BUTTLE FOLLOWS
Establishment of White Repub
licans Poll The cause.
K . Gre»-n* go 1, S. C., Nov. 9 In
j ' yesterday ’s election the people of
this section had a forceful remin
der of the days of 1876-1880. Al
) though unusually qu:et as to this
preoiuc', intense excitement pre
vailed ail day because of the eLoot
ing ot Bo»z Etheridge, one of the
manage) is of election at Phoenix,
in tne morning, and a subsequent
not between the whites and b’ucks
at that plnce, in which one of the
Talberts and several negroes were
mortally wounded.
Phoenix is ten miles from here,
and near the Edgefield line. It is
the home of the lalberts, the cra
dle of republicanism in Abbeville
county. Because of this fact, it is
said, the negroes, acting
stractions. went to the bcx in larg
er numbers than any other in or
der to give R. R. Talbert, candi
date for congress a larger We. It
is also stated that th® negroes w ere
armed with winchesters.
From parties returning from
Phoenix late this evening it is
learned that the negroes had a
separate box in charge of T. P.
Talbert, into which Mich as could
not v«te in the regular boxes would
deposit certificates that they were
net allowed to vote for R. R.
Talbert for congress, which cerli
fieates he expected to use in his
contest for Latimer’s seal.
Mr. Etheiidge attempted to
take charge of it and was shot
dead by one or more of the negroes
who were crowding around it. Im
mediately the few white men who
could procure arms or had them
opened fire on the crowd and
continued to shoot them as they
ran. It is not known definitely
how many negroas were hit nor
how seriously.
T. P. Talbert was seriously
wounded, but managed to reach
hit home a mils off. He was still
living at sundown and is not like
ly to be further molested, as he
has never been prominent as a
leader. The whits people, several
hundred strong, aro well armed,
cool and determined, and if ths

the mistake of taking remedies which
at best are only tonics and cannot possi
bly reach their trouble. Mr. Asa Smith,
Greencastle, Indiana, says: “For years
I have suffered with Sciatic Rheuma
tism, which the best physicians were wn
able to relieve. I took many patent
medicines but they did not seem te
reach my trouble. I gradually grew
- worse until I was nn

A Real Blood Remedy#
S.S.S. cures Scrofula, Cancer, Eczema,
and any form of blood troubles. If you
have a blood disease, take a blood medi

is recommended for nothing else. It

SIMPuE REMEDIES
Ci'lunel W. W. VVol’ey, as Ai

George E. Waring valuable poinh

America and preserved I.is hea'th
He walked unharmed amid the
pestilence. His plan was a simple
one. He says: “Yellow fever can
be prevented, in my opinion, by
aptem salts and cured in the same
way. The salts taken internally
by a well person, subject to infec
tion by environment or other con
ditions, preserve ’he stomach from
furmil g a fatal or dangerous rind.
This rind is dissolved by the salts
when promptly treated- This ex
periment, we understand. w?« hen
aficially made at Brunswick, in
this state, when yellow fever pre
vailed some years ago.
Mr, Dusty of Memphis, who sur
vived two epidemics, after heroic
«uccor of the sick and dying, says
The most successful doctor in
our day of desolation was a rather
uncouth country physician. He,
lost but c' v case and that a des
perate one. His treatment was at
first ridiculed, but it was hsnefi
cient as well as simple.
H« allowed his patients to drink
as much water as they desired on
one condition viz., that a pinch
of bicarbonate of soda be mingled
with the fluid. He was. like the
regular practitioners, careful of
convalescents in thwarting the
gratification of devouring hunger.
The human system, in such ex
tremities, is a mere shell, and
easily shattered by any dietetic ex
cess or imprudence. Many deaths
occur after convalescence because
of this improvidence.
If we were going to Cuba, our
satchel should contain supplies of
epsom sal‘s and bicarbonite of so
da. The regular doctors may
pooh-pooh these remedies, but
Colonel Wolsey and Mr Duffy

as much as learned theories, and.
from results, apparently, a great

WELL PLEASED CUSTOM
ERS.
We have sold hundreds and
hundreds ot the McCall Bazar
Patterns since we have taxen the
agency, and upon inquiry of the
salesladies in the department,we
find that not one pattern has
ever been returned as unsatis
factory, and with hundreds of
sales, not one word of criticism
ever been heard against the
McCall Patterns.
On the contrary many ladies
are delighted with the McCall
Patterns, because reliable, and
because the prices are only 10

At dark everything was quiet at
Phoenix with the whites masters
of the situation, but the negroes
are supposed to be congregating
about two miles distant and no
ore can conjecture what the tight
will bring forth.
Mr. Etheridge was a quiet and
well-to-do citizen. lie leaves a
wife and several children. The
latest authentic information is
that John R, Tolbert has betn
dangerously wounded and his lit

who was in thej buggy with him,
iustau'ly killed while on therir way

Government Oil Tank Steamer
Picks up a Sailor at Sea.
Philadelphia. Nov. 9.—The
government oil tank steamer
Standard, which arrived here,
brings Andrew Anderson, a
sailor, who was rescued at sea
on October 19th, from the
wrecked Norwegian bark Sig
frid.
The rescue by a boat’s crew
•from the Standard was a thril
ling and gallant one, and was
accomplished after oue boat had
been dashed to pieces against
the side es the steamer and a
number of dariag attempts had
been made to reach the wrecked
bark.
Finally, Anderson was thrown
a rope which he fastened about
him and then jumped iato the
sea. He was dragged into the
boat in an unconscionus condi
tion.
Anderson says *he remainder
of the crew had been taken off
the bark by an unknown vessel
He had evidently been forgotten
for the crew failed to come back
to rescue him. The derelict was
left in latitude 55.48 north, long
itude 0.43 east, nearly submerg
ed.
