Success to you, Charlie.
BILE BEANS! VTirt a funny name
for a medicine! Nevertheless it is very
significant as applied to the article.
Bile, according to Webster, is “a yel
lowish bitter, viscid nameeous fluid,
secreted by the liver.” Whenever the
liver does not act properly this fluid is
retained in the blood and poisons the
wholesystem,and sallowness and misery
is the result. SMITH’S BILE BEANS
is a sure cure for biliousness and liver
complaint. Price, 25 cents per bottle.

reminded us very forcibly of several

sight to see these accomplished
musicians in our Sunday School,
training voices to sing the Masters
praises. Come again you are wel
come.
—Sick Headache, a sensation of oppression
and dullness in the head, are very commonly
produced by indigestion; morbid despondency,
irritdbility and over sensitiveness of the nerves
may,a in a majority of cases, be traced to the
same cause. Dr. J. H. McLean’s Homoeopathic
Javer and Kidney Balm and Fillets will posi
tively cure.

—The dearest spot on earth to me
is home, and what ever conduces to
the health or comfort of the home
circle is regarded as a blessing. In
the category of blessings we place
White’s Cream Vermifuge the best
worm medicine in the world. It never
fails to expel worms when their
presence in the stomach is indicated
by the usual symptoms.
The Literary.
It was our pleasure and good
fortune to be able to attend the last
meeting of our Literary Club, It was
largely attended and very enjoyable.
The recitation by Miss Ida Yeung
was in the strictist sense, good, it
was listened to with profound atten
tion, and was highly spoken of by
those who heard it Miss. Ida is a
young lady of rare powers and ac
complishments.

Annual Barbecue-
The annual barbecue of the Colum
bia County Agricultural Society,
which took place on the 14th inst.,
was one of rare pleasure and profit.
Several prominent members were
present and presented their views on
small grain. Mr. Steve Phillips
superintended the cooking of the
meats, and we must say he clearly
showed his proficiency in this line.
This scribe will hail with delight every
year the annual barbecue of the
Columbia County Agricultural So
ciety.
The Senatorial Convention.
The counties of Wilkes, Lincoln,
McDuffie and Columbia will meet
sometime soon for the purpose of
selecting a suitable man to represent
them in the next General Assembly.
Some contend that all that is neces
sary is for Columbia in regular order
■to name the man and the other
' counties will acquiesce in her choice.
I Well, now if this be the case, why is
lit encumbent upon us to have this
Convention ? It seems useless and
an unwarranted waste of time. It
I seems to us that the other counties
i are as vitally interested as is Colum
bia, and should and will choose be
tween the two candidates. The meet
ing in this county in our judgment is
I simply to send delegates to the Con
| vention and there the choice will be
made.

takes the form of Piles, one of the
most distressing diseases. When thus
afflicted the most comforting assu

To the Voters of the 29th Senatorial
District.
Editors Sentinel:
We think it due to the voters of
said District to let them know through
the columns of your valuable paper
the programme that is on foot to de
feat Dr. W. A. Martin and other can
didates of Columbia county in the ap
proaching election.
The opponents have inaugurated a
“fence club,” pledging themselves not
to support any man who is in favor of
the “stock law.” We deem it unfair
to spring that issue as the fence ques
tion has been settled. Let the can
didates run upon their own merits;
not raise a dead issue by deluding the
people along the lines of the Ga.
Railroad, who are opposed to the
“stock law,” with the idea that if they
are elected, that is the (fence candi
dates) they will have the stock law
repealed. Voters.
We herewith insert a copy of the
resolutions of the fence club:
resolutions by the fence club.
Georgia, Columbia County.
Whebeas, at the last session of the
Legislature of Georgia, there was en
acted for the county of Columbia, the
law known as the “stock law,” or the
act to prohibit stock from going at
large. At the time of the passage of
this act the majority of voters could
have determined and made the law
without the action of the Legislature.
Therefore, we consider the law op
pressive, unjust and forced upon the
majority of the voters of the county.
Therefore be it
Resolved, Ist. That we will support
no man for any office who favors the
stock law.
Resolved, 2rd. That we will use all
honorable means to defeat any can
didate who favors or approves of the
act known as the “stock law.”
Resolved, 3rd. That we favor the
fence, but if at any time the question
had been left to the voters of the
county we would have willingly abid
ed the will of the majority of the
people.
Resolved, 4th. That we will in every
way possible prevent any litigation
from arising in our settlement in re
gard to stock being penned up or de
tained for the purpose of charging for
them.
Resolved, sth. That the man we
vote for as our Representative must
sign these resolutions, and pledge
himself to do all he can to repeal the
law known as the “stock law,”
T f ‘out of sorts’ with hondnehe, stomach
d Border, torpid liver, pain in back or aid'*, con

To (bo Voters of Columbia County.
Editors Sentinel:
From the beginning of this race 1
have endeavored to keep out of the
papers, but in last week’s Sentinel
my opponent Mr. Oliver Hardy sees
tit to rush into print and use my name
in connection with certificates which
forces me to explain my connection
with them. On the Sth day of July I
heard Mr. Hardy in answer to ques
tions propounded by Mr. Win.
Lansdell deny having signed or au
thorized his name signed to the fence
resolutions. Being convinced that
his name was ou the list 1 went to see
several members of the fence club to
find out by what authority it was put
there. The result was the following
certificates:
W e the undersigi.ed members of
the fence club, certify' that at our
meeting tlie 25th of June, Messrs.
Wm. Hendrick and James Prather
did stale to the club that they were
authorized by Mr. Oliver Hardy to
sign his mime as a inembt r of <ur
club ami each member bad to endorse
the resolution.s t passed by said club.
A. J. Taylor, Secty.
W. S. Whitaker.
W. T. Florence
This certifies I was in tha meeting
and lusard Mr. Hendrick state ho was
authorized to sign Mr. Hardy’s name
as a member of the fence dub.
Wm. P. Isdale.
Mr. Hardy acknowledges in his
card that be told Mr. Hendrick he
endorsed the resolutions. Will he
explain why it is if he endorsed’ them
he denies so bitterly having authoriz
ed his name signed unless it was a
bid for votes on both sides? Mr. H.
was rigid when ho said he did not
blame Messrs. Hendrick ami Prather
for their course as he was satisfied
they intended to do him no harm .
Mr. H. in his card states that he sup
poses I had these certificates to injure
him in the Coming election. I suspect
ed lie was trying to ride two horses
running in opposite directions and
thinking it was a dangerous experi -
meid for one of his weight I tried to
check one or the other until he could
plant, himself firmly upon one and let
all see which one be was riding.
Now a word as to my position on
the fence question, Mr. Hardy, if
reports be true, has been interesting
himself a good deal to inform the
public bow I stood—representing me
in the oakey woods as a fence man
and in the piney woods as a stock law
man. Personally, I favor the fence,
believing it to be to my interest, Mr.
Hardy's assertion to the contrary not
withstanding.
M'hile my preference is for fence I
fail to see why it should be made an
issue in tlie election of county officers,
I do not expect support on this issue,
neither do I ask or expect your sup
port on my war record, as an allwise
Providence saw fit to bring on the war
before I was able to carry the musket.
Neither do I plead my inability to
labor for a living and ask your sup
port on those grounds. The only
grounds upon which I ask your votes
is my record as tax Collector for the
year 1884. That record I do not
claim to be perfect, I know that with
experience it could be improved upon.
But with all of my mistakes from in
experience I can place it beside the
best one my opponent has ever made
out of his ten or t’.elve and not be
ashamed of the comparison.
In 1884 the county claim was
$5,705.11, I collected and paid to the
Treasurer $5,701.80 leaving a balance
of $3.31. Poll tax SI,BO1 —collected
and paid to school commissioner
$1,316.89.
In 1885 the county’s claim was
$5,692.08. Mr. H. collected and paid
into the treasury $5,647.64, leaving a
balance of $45.54. Poll tax $1,785.5
—collected and paid to commissioner
$1,242.82, making a difference of
$115.74 in favor of 1884. This is the
only grounds upon which I ask your
support. In comparing my record
with his, I wish to rcHiiud the voters
of the county that 1 did not stoop to |
lake my opponents lowest record, but
I picked his best. The one he made
after all his former efforts had been
surpassed, the one in which ho bent '
all his energies to come up to the
mark that had been laid down for '
him, the one which, when he had
finished he alluded tons his best, the 1
one which his friends pointed to with ,
pride. It was the best and crowning 1
glory of his life, and at one time the
impression was made it was the best
the county ever had—but the records
tell a different tale.

Ijovo is a passion by no rule con lin'd,
The great first mover ot the human mind.
Spring of our fate; it lifts the climbing will,

All are love's intlueiieo and adorn his race, 1
Love, too, given fair despair, grief, anger,strife,

- Hill.
The most wonderful passion of
gratification and universality of hu
manity, is love. Now in my attempt
of adducting the definition of this ex
pressive word,in a discourse of brevity,
or even in a voluminous one. I wifi
unjustly defraud it of its contents of
honor, grace and beauty. On the
oth- r hand, a most vital importance
of a knowledge of unvirtuous love and
its termination should be well drilled
into those fair in.ages, who bear the
closest resemblance to those bright
shining beings who breathe the pure
atmosphere, that towers high amid
celestial regions. Now dwelling a
moment on its definition, I proceed.
This amiable passion, though wonder
ful, and unaccountable in its mighty
powers of operation is partially de
fined as being one of the most active
forces of the sou). Love germinates,
or originates from what is beautiful
in the estimation of the senses.
A mil utes reference to the vege
table kingdom reveals love but
not human. In sublimity, God has
endowed the physiological protoplasm
with an instinctive love, or at least uu
obedience to Him. He commands
and it obeys. So also is a lover, if
commanded be obeys his precious be
trothed. Note the physiological
growth of buds, that gently shed there
unseemly clothing and gradually de
velope their petidous folds in the
beauty and admiration of nature.
The flower is nourished and support
ed by the blood of the plant. God
loves his plants, therefore Ho gives
them an instinctive wisdom of select
ing from the earth and water therein,
suJi chemicals as is adaptable to
their nutriment. Though compre
hensively, yet synonimously doth
man’s love dictate to him, satisfaction
of future happiness in regard to the
powers of love, from, (us may be
termed) the walking chemicolr, who
skip and glide o’er the bosom of the
Omnipotent’s Globe, or from the fair
sex, who possesses the ruby dinippled
cheek of extreem beauty. Now young
folks, since our Creator has abundant
ly endowed some with such captivat
ing powers of causing others to yield,
by gaining their affections, and others
of the same fascinations.
May each and all think calmly and
for the world, don’t take advantage of
this unaccountable passion, for if un
fairly dealt with, there is a liability of
dishonor, disgrace, hatred, envy and
strife. Remember what the poet
says:
“Earth has no rage, like love to hatred turn’d
Nor hell, a fury like a woman scorn’d.”
Virtuous love is conducive to health,
and promotive to the happiness of
society. Undoubtedly and forcibly
may it be asserted that a reciprocal
love of mutually interchangeable
lovers, is the “sweetest charm” of
temporary life Love bus its controll
ing powers whether for good or wheth
er for evil. It has caused royal
diadem to stoop in marriage to births
of degradations. It wrests from the
hands of the conqueror his sword, and
renders him a captive to his slave.
The incredible strength of affection,
in behalf of the female sex, though
the weaker repays their frailty; in the
intensity and ardency of their love
supersedes man’s, it surpasses all
1 beneath the Heavenly throne. Arria
■ the wife of (J. Paetus when informed
of his condemnation, exhorted him o
I meet it bravely, drawing a knife from
; her bosom, gave herself a fatal stab,
■ ami handed him saying, “Vulnus
! quad faci, Paete, nondolet, said quad
tu facies.”
Leaving man’s dwelling place, we
climb to brighter regions, enquiring
| if there be a more greatful feeling en
twined amid the angelic hosts, than
Terms, $1 A Year, In Advance.
what we term reciprocated love, Thia
is the controlling power that causes
the father's fairest, the mother**
dearest to blot from her meinory the
pleasures of luxury and comfort, bid
ding father, mother, brother and sis*
ter farewell, and to toil and smile itt
pauperism the balance of her days
with her precious husband. Then
when death seals the husband’s doom,
and his corpse Ims been sunk beneath
the surface, amid the damp, dismal
clay, she sings to the winds that
breath upon the sad grave,
"tin gentle gules, uiid be.r my .igh. .long ;
Tlie birds shall eease tu tiuiu their evening
song,
The winds to breathe, the waving wood, to
move,
And streams to mnrninr, e’re I erase to love.”
Love in vicious hearts, is only an
outrage, a blemish which charactes-.
izes human desires with shameful
and “criminal designs." Fire a gsdly
blessing lulls the dyings pains of
shivering humanity, in the severity of
winter. The most appreciable of ita
kind, or substances, yet when fed eik
tainted matter, “emits unwholesome
and noxious vapors ” So too love
when manufactured by cuntemptious
lovers, exits the paths of society, and
lends rapidly to unforgiving shame.
Still let it originate in purity and
hearts of sincerity, then kindled and
fed by objects of virtuous adoration,
and thoughts of purity. Then wheie
doth wo find morality and modesty
but here ?
A German lady married a Hessian
officer, her husband being ordered to
America, and having lost all tiding*
of her darling husband, imagined him
mingled with fatal wounds. On hear
ing of the approach of some wounded
officers she visited the shores of Kag
land, tlie supposed destination of tbo
wounded, and lingered eight kng
weary months to meet her dying all
in ’ill. Ere long the ship arrived
bearing the precious one, she with
tears gleaming upon her emaciated
cheek, and out stretched arms to meet
him and as she entered the door; what
words in the English language, with
adequacy can express her feelinge, or
who in the English tongue can paint
the picture, or the sad sce.ne when she
found her darling husband expiring
in another lady’s embrace, whom he
hail married while in America. In
his wounded, bloody, dying condition,
ho pleaded . forgiveness, but lo! his
already feeble heart, from loss of
blood, and fatigue, ceased to throb no
more, and in vain. Here man shews
his susceptibility and weakness, while,
woman in truth, honesty and sincerity,
shows her undying tender love.
