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.

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. “Wisdom, Justice and Moderation.” HARLEM, GA., THURSDAY, JULY 22, 1886. A Card. Messrs. S. C. Lamkin and J. Q. Spires, Gentlemen: You are reported as making the Fence question an issue in the coming election for the Senate and House of Representative, also that you art fence men in one portion of the county and no fence in the other, this is not touting fair let the people hear from you in the next is sue of this paper. Many Voters. —— —— —Good aid ill luck may br received with an equal mind, unless the latter takes the form of Piles, one of the most distressing diseases. When thus afflicted the most comforting assu rance we can receive is that Tabler's Buckeye Ointment will cure every case of Piles on the Globe. Give it a trial and be convinced. Notice- There will be a large Democratic rally on Saturday the 31st of July, on the Columbia road, where Little Kiokee creek crosses it, near the old Smith place, in the interest of Lamkin and Hardy.

Upper Richmond. BY LEON. Our Bath base ball club has again revived. Mr. Samuel Palmer Jr., has return ed from Oxford, and is agent for the child’s Bible, a very beautiful book. Lightning struck a large stack of fodder belonging to Mr. John Cowley Sr., some time ago, the fodder taken fire immediately and was burned to the ground. An excessive rain fell in this neighborhood on last Saturday night. It is thought that cotton will hardly yeild sixty per cent compared with last year, while corn will foot up about 90 in this county, and about. It is reported that the down passenger train on the A. & G. S. R. R. turned over on the trustle below Hephzibah on last Friday morning fortunatly no lives were lost, while many were wounded and bruised, the young man that informed us says every car left the track except the engine. AIAO. 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 stipation, etc .neglect msv be fatal. One dose of etronr'B Sanative Fills will give relief. A few dot>u3 restore to Lew health and vigor. 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. \V. S. Lazenby. ii essaCox LOVE 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, Or sinks the soften'd soul in sens 01 ill. Science, truth, virtue, sweetness, glory, grace, i All are love's intlueiieo and adorn his race, 1 Love, too, given fair despair, grief, anger,strife, Ami all the unnumbered woes which tempest life. - 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.
