As the bowl did not accom- , plish the desired end, he determined to end his life, lie applied at one or two i drug stores for oxalic acid lo "clean spots out of clothes," but was refused, i To Dr. Aiken he applied four times, but could not be accommodated until . he handed to the Doctor what pur- , ported to be an order from his mother . for the poison. Tunclrs brother having i informed Mr. D. \V\ Aiken that lie ( had threatened to take hl< life, he pre- j tended to fill the order, but instead o;' , giving him oxalic acid gave hint a ^ood < dose of epsom salts.

JjAViit. yy. ;<>mc Impressions of It vrui its Growth. As Laurens is a town which in the Xtst few years has attracted the atten^W^of the State in railroad building md general progress some few joints ibout it may not be without interest O our ro/irlnvs It is a town of some 2,700 } cople, it laving aliiivct Jj?tvclvujil<>d its popula ion since the advent of new railroads, riicrc are three railroads centering Lriere?the Greenville & Columbia, ,he Grecnvilie & Laurens, and the Jreenwoed, Laurens & !Spartan)nrg. These railroads radiating in bur directions, and traversing a rich ;onntry give the town exceptional idvantages in trade. These railroads :ave been the chief factor in its prosperity. Across a branch running hrough the town is a new portion eccntlv built, called Brooklyn. A gentleman informed ns that this secJam oIaiia AAnfntnnr? oc? monrr uiuiiv wui?uiv/u ca.o lixaii V liiiiaiyi ants now, as the whole town contained >et'ore the advent of the new railroads. Like many other towns, the business lortion of the town i.s grouped around he court-house, which consequently ets in a hollow square. All the sides f this square are compactly built i'ith practically new brick buildings, iany of which would do credit to a lore pretentions city. The stores are f every variety, some of which look lore like the establishments of some irge city rather than an unpretenious country town. There is only nc hotel in town, but it is a good lie, the fare being fine, the rooms lrge and well ventilated, and the scran ts as attentive as one could desire. .11 the delegations from the district opped at this hotel?called the Benel la. Each delegation was placed in >oms adjacent, but the Fairfield deLeation all occupied one room, except [r. Moblcy and Captain Irby, who vjoyed the hospitality of friends in >wn. Many of the residences of Laure ns :c handsome and costly, having ocen Liilt since the recent "boom." Their cantv is somewhat marred, how,'cr, by narrow, crookcd streets, Lit as the town grows the streets will Dubtless rcceive more attention. There arc two weekly papers, the dvertiser, J. C. Gariington, editor, . id the Herald, T. 15. Crews, editor. oth of these papers arc excellent 1 ics, and show great enterprise. The : dvertiser came out with a full 1 I . count of the Convention the morning . 'ter its meeting, although it did not i Ijourn until near 12 o'clock. The people of Laurens arc most hos- table and did all in their power to ( ake the time puss pleasantly.

The annual reunion of the Asaocia- j tion was held in the Court House in r Chester on Thursday, 2nd Augnst, at 11 A. M. The meeting was called to order by Gen. John "Bratton, the President. The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. On motion of II. A.

It is probable that every-1 * one, witiont exception, revives vast f numbers of Tubercle Germs into the j t system, and where these germs fall j j upon sutable soil they start into life i and develop, at lirst slowly, and is 11 shown bj a slight tickling sensation in o Ihe throat, and if allowed to continue c their raviges they extend to the lungs, j producing Consumption, and to the head, caising Catarrh. Now all this is dangerous, and if allowed to pro- j t seed will in time cause death. At the1 a onset yoc must act with promptness; [ j iHowin? a cold to 20 without attention ! is dangerous and may lose your life. 1 A.s soon as you feel that something is \ fly-ong with your Throat, Lungs, or ^ Nostrils, obtain a bottle of Boschee's German Syrup.

Primary Plan Adopted?Proceedihgs. The Congressional Convention met in the Court House at Laurens, on Tuesday night at 9 o'clock. The Fairfield delegation had understood that the Convention would meet at 11 a. in., and went to Laurens 011 Monday, arriving about twenty-four hours ahead of time. The -Richland delegation labored under the same misapprehension, and were on the ground the same time before the Convention. The time^was, however, pleasantly spent by the two delegations mingling amongst each other and the hospitable citizens of Laurens. The various delegations arrived by 6 o'clock in the afternoon and the real Gght began. Delegates mingled with delegates, advocating each one's candidate and plans for the good of the Democracy. These matters were worked to their utmost extent until 9 o'clock, the time for the assembling ot the delegates. The Court House was packed with the friends, of either candidate, who throughout the proceedings showed their enthusiasm for tneir ravorites wiui iouci applause. G. "W. Shell, of Laurens, called the Convention to order, and read the j authority by which the Convention ! was called. N. F. Walker was re-' quested to act as secretary. The list of the delegates were handed in by the chairmcn of the the delegations, and the Convention went to business. All the counties had full delegations, rhe Fairfield delegation was: Jas. Q.; Davis, chairman; II. J. McCarley, D. A. Douglass, II. N. Obear, A. JK. Davis, A. P. Irby, Jno. G. Mobley. P.M. Brice. The first business was the election of i permanent chairman, and Dr. E. M. Dain, of Laurens, was elected without opposition, as was also N. F. Walker, secretary. W. L. Gray, of Laurens, then inroduced resolulions looking to the election of Congressmen by the primary plan. Delegates from Spartan i i _ _i r-t ?n ji 3arg, liicmana, anaixreeuviiiesecouuid the resolution. Before the motion ivas put, Mr. Chas. A. Douglass rose :o enter the protest, not only of the lelegation, but of Fairneld county igainst such a procedure. Mr. Dougass made a strong argument against ;his system. lie showed how Fairfield would be shorn of her politcal aower iu the district; how it would be the acme of injustice to force the primary upon a county, 'which against averwhelming odds, had always been ;rue to the Democratic party. He saici mat we aia 1101 coucu auu cu wer | md beg for this, but that we demanded ! t as a matter of justice. In speaking J )f Bratton and his record, both n war i icd peace, he said that Fairfield was f lot afraid to meet the people, but the j wanted to have an equal chance with ; he rest." He proposed that if the' primary was carried, that the Georgia I >lan be adopted. These are some of the salient points! )f his address, but no words can con-! rev an idea of the eloquent manner in j vhich it was delivered. Although j. ipeaking to an audience and delega-1 ion opposed to a Convention, Mr. j Douglass' points were so forcibly j ilucidated and eloquently presented hat he was frequently interrupted by :1 ipplausc from the audience and Con-1 'ention. j: The question was about to be put i. Then Fairfield joined with Duncan's I i riends to have an adjournment for j if teen minutes. This was opposed by ! he Perry men, but it was carried, j During the recess Spartauburg, Lau- j ens, Union, and Fairfield held a cau- \ :us in the jury room. The Fairfield ; lelegation, finding that they had no i nterest in the caucus, withdrew. When the Convention re-assembled i1 he primary question was taken up ! 1 md passed, all the counties, except j < Tairfield, voting for it owing to pop-!: ilar pressure.
