A VOODOOED PILLOW.
The Manner in Which a Colored Woman
Believed Her Father.
An incident which strongly illustrates
the peculiarly superstitious disposition ol
the Southern" negro, especially in regard
% to the mysterious voodoo charms
uud their power to harm, came within
the notice of a reporter of the Picayune
the other evening.
On St. Mary street, near the levee,
the reporter met a young negro woman
walking towards the river, carrying a
pillow slung over her right shoulder.
She looked neither to tile right nor the
left, but straight ahead, with such a
strange expression that the curiosity of
the reporter was aroused.
"Whither arc you going?" he inquir
"I'm a-going to the ribber," she an
swered, "to drown dis yer hoodoo pil
low. Dar's a big hoodoo charm in dat.
sar; it made my old father so sick dat
for de last two weeks he's ben a-going
out of h;s head and a-gettiug thinner
and thinner. I "lowed as dere was
some hoodoo business, and I felt of his
pillow, and sure 'miff] felt de fing in
"What was it?" queried the reporter.
?"I dasn'fclook" she replied, "but it
feels hard and bony-like and I'm gwine
to drown it. I does it in dis way when
I gets to de ribber bank, I pull out my
knife, holds the pillow in my left hand,
rip the pillow case and throw dc feath
ers into de ribber over my left shoulder.
Den L-4ook toward de water and see if
de feathers take any shape. If dey arc
voodooed, dey'll take some shape of
animile or udder and dive under dc
water, aud den de charm will be kilt an
de ole man'H get well."
This supcrtitious belief caused the re
porter to smile, and he tried to reason
with the woman, but she shook her
head and said: "Dc hoodoos am
mighty powerful people, sar; dey kin
hurt surc's .your born."
A few days afterwards the reporter
met the same woman aud jokingly in
quired about the "hoodooed" pillow.
"Ob." she said, "do ole man is all
rite now; he kin cat a whole watcr
milyuu and lour slices o'bacon aud a
big chunk o' corn bread for dinner now.
Yes sar. dr feathers was hoodooed.
When I frew dem in dc ribber aud 1
looked, dey had taken dc shape ofa dog;
den dey changed to a small sheep; den
dey looKcd like a duck and tloatcd away,
aud deu dey was a white fish that dived
in aud never came back. I clapped my
hands and said, *Dc ole man's all rite
now;' and sure 'null' he's all rite

A WAGER COSTS TWO LIVES.
Two Men Deceurt Into a Well and are
Suffocated t<> Death.
BALTIMORE, August 2.?John Car
well and Henry Martin lost their lives
this morning on account of a bet of s*l.
With several other men they bad been
digging a well in the yard of the Nation
ul Consumer's Meat Company, ouXorMi
Paca street. The well was completed last
Saturday, aud when the men were about
to leave the contractor told them in case
(hey should return for their tools on no
account were they to go down the well,
as he feared there would be an accumu
lation of foul air iu the pit. Carwcll
aud Martin went for their tools tins
morning but could not get them, as the
contractor had not arrived. While
waiting for him, a bet of one dollar was
made between Herbert Hammond,
brother of the manager of the cstablsh
ment, aud Edward Teunaut, that the
water in the well was uot twenty feet
deep. Carwcll agreed to be lowered
down the well and find out by measure
ment. When about twenty or thirty
feet dowu, about half the depth of the
well, he cried out, t;0, my, this foul
air!" but did not' ask to be hoisted up.
A short distance from the water is a
platform on which a pump is to be
placed. On reaching this platform Car
well stopped and placed the bucket on
it. He stood tor a second or two. stag
gered like a drunken man, then pitched
head foremost into the water. Henry
Martin, seeing his friend's danger he
seized the rope and slip down ?the well,
bnt lie no sooner touched the platform
than he, too, fell into the water. Grap
pling irons were procured and the bodies
brought to the surface. An examina
tion showed that death was caused by
suffocation. Doth leave destitute fami

A Ul.uk Fiend l*tir*lie<l by IllCuli*e?l Geor
Savannah, Ga., August. 14?At
the plantation of John Morrison, in
Bryan County, on Thursday of this
week, Henry Smith, a negro employee,
in the absence of all the other members
of the family, criminally assaulted Miss

^M?nTison'snrmi___? ? fc* t,lc
?family would be absent untu-late last
night, Smith kept his victim a prisoner a
day and a half, during which he repented
his offense several times. Just previous
to bis departure last night, Smith choked
Miss Dacon into insensibility and capped
his ficudishucss by cutting oil'the end ol
her tongue, iu the belicl that she would be
thus made unable to tell of her wrongs.
Search for Smith was instituted im
mediately after the return of the family,
aud he was captured during the night,
but while preparations to lynch him were
in progress he succeeded in getting
posession of two guns lclt against a trece
by two of his pursuers, and after nearly
blowing oil' an arm or one of the men
escaped. Another pursuit was instituted
at daylight this morning by an armed
band, who swore they would kill Smith
on sight. At last accounts the posse
had not returned, but Smith's death be
fore morning is a certainty. It is hinted
that lie will be burned at the slake If he
can salelv be taken alive.

there is no more natural remedy than a
mild cathartic, one which will be sure
to perform its duty without injuring
the system in the* least. Such, let us
say in all candor, is Simmons' Hepatic
Compound. It will gently move the
bowels, without irritating them in the
least; when the medicine works, the
bowels are soothed and healed like a
charm- yet the medicine is more effec
tive than Caloihel; one of the principal
ingredients possess all the good qualities
of that poisonous drug, without any of
its constituents. A dose of Simmons'
Hepatic Compound every night on
going to bed, will infallibly restore
health. Testimony of the highest con
sideration from every portion of the
country, and from all classes of people,
abunliantly substantiate this fact. The
importance of this treatment cannot lie
over-estimated, and it should he tried
by all means.

Cure for Piles.
Piles are frequently proceeded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he 1ms some affec
tion of the kidneys or neighboring or

tion are present, flatulency, uneasiness
of the stomach, etc. A moisture like
perspiration, producing a very dis
agreeable itching, after getting warm,
is a common attendant. Blind, Bleed

the application of Dr. Bosankos Pile

BLOOD AND MONEY.
The blood of man has much to do in
shaping his actions during his pilgrimage
through this troublesome world, regardless
of the amount of present or expectant
money in pocket or stored away in bank.
It is a" conceded fact tiiat we appear as our
blood makes us, and the purer the Blood,
I the happier, healthier, prettier and wiser
we are; hence the oft repeated interrogate
ry, "how is your bloodv" With pure
streams of life-giving fluid coursing through
our veins, bounding through our hearts
and ploughing through our physical frames
our morals become better, our constitution '
stronger, our intellectual faculties more!
acute and grander, and men, women and I
children happier, healthier and more love
The unprecedented demand, the unpar
alleled curative powers, and the unmista
kable proof from those of unimpeachable
character and integrity, point with an un
erring finger to 15. B. B.?Botanic Blood'
Balm?as far the best, the cheapest, the
quickest and the grandest and must power
ful blood remedy ever before known to
mortal man, in the relief and positive cure
of Scrofula, Rheumatism, Skin diseases, all
taints of blood poison, Kidney complaints,
old ulcers and sores, cancers, catarrh, etc.
B. B. B. is only about three years old?a
baby in age, a giant in power?but no
remedy in America can make or ever has
made such a wonderful showing in its magi
cal powers in curing and entirely eradica
ting (he above complaints, and gigantic
sales in the face of frenzied opposition and
would-bo moneyed monopolists.
Letters from "all points where introduced
are pouring in upon us, speaking in its
loudest praise. Some say they' receive
more benefit from one bottle of B. B. B.
than they have from twenty, thirty and fifty
and even one hundred bottles of "a boasted

and branches of common forest trees. We
hold the proof in black and white, and we
also hold the fort.

npHE SUCCESSFUL CAREER OF
I the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Asso
ciation is marvellous in the annals of life
insurance enterprise. Its name has be
come a tower of strength, and has been
well earned by the untiring devotion of
President llarper and his associates. Its
astonishing prosperity has provoked attacks
which are best repelled by a frank and full
exhibit of its greatly increasing line of
business. Up to July ISM, this shows a
gain of no less than ?13 214,380 over that
of the corresponping period last year.
In June alone" its mortuary receipts ex
ceeded $230,000, of which over $60,000 went
into the Reserve Fund?that triple buttress
upon which the association justly prides
itself. This reserve now amounts to $425,
ooo, and is employed for three purposes
only?to pay death claims, if any should j
occur in excess of the American Experience
Mortality Tables; to make good any poss
ible deficiency in the Death Fund Account,
and to he apportioned among those who
have been members of the Association tit
teen years, etc. as the first and second
contingencies named are not likely to arise,
the third object is the one upon which the
fund is practically expended. It is full of
other good points, among which may be
mentioned the economical salary list?less
than ?30,000 for earning on the whole work
of the vast institution?and payments to
widows and orphans at the rate of over

4 LL ARRANGEMENTS HAVE
a jL been made for the County Teachers'
Institute for whites. It will commence at
11 o'clock A. M. on Monday, August 30tll,
at Mcllichamp's School Rousts in the city of
Orangeburg, and continue In session dur
ing the week. Prof. Wm. S. Morrison, of
the Spartanburg Graded School, Prof. R.
Means Davis, of the South Carolina Col
lege, and Miss Fannie C. McCailtS of the
Columbia Graded School, have been engag
ed to conduct it. These teachers have InuW
considerable experience in Institute work,
and are thoroughly conversant with all the
new methods and improvements in the art
of teaching. In fact, they are too well
known to require any introduction or words
lie-ides the regular routine of the Insti
tute in the morning, Superintendent
j Coward, Prof. Joyncs, of the Sounth Caro
lina College, Dr. Carlisle, of Woit'ord, and
others have been invited to deliver lectures
in the evening, and it is hoped that all, or
tit least some. Of them will be present.
The tuition and lectures will be free, and
the only expense will be board for teachers
from a distance which has been arranged
for at the reduced rate of seventy-five (75)
cents per day.
This Is a raiv opportunity which the
teachers of Orangeburg County should
make every sacrifice to embrace. Teach
ing is a profession in which teachers should
take a pride and utilize every available I
means for improvement. The few dollars
spent at this Institute n il! pay back many
fold in actual information, enlarged con
ceptions, and new ideas of school manage
ment and teaching.
Certificates of attendance will be given
to all who attend which should certainly
have due weight with Trustees employing
Teachers, come to the Institute for your
own good, and come also for your pride in
