RADWAY'S
jm Uesolvent.
Pufe blood makes sound flesh, strong bone and a
clear skin. If you would have your flesh firm, your
bones sound without caries, and your complexion
fair, use RADWAY'S SARSAPARIL-
L1AN RESOLVENT.
A remedy composed of ingredients of extraordi-
nary medical properties essential to purify, heal,
repair and invigorate the broken-down and wasted
body—QUICK, PLEASANT, SAFE and PERMA-
NENT in its treatment and cure.
No matter by what name the complaint maybe
designated, whether it be Scrofula, Consumption,
Syphilis. Ulcers, Sores, Tumors, Boils, Erysipelas,
or Salt-Rheum, diseases of the Lungs, Kidneys,
Bladder, Womb, Skin, Liver, Stomach or Bowels,
either chronic or constitutional, the virus of the
disease is in tho BLOOD which supplies the waste,
and builds and repairs these organs and wasted
tissues of the system. If the blood is unhealthy,
the process of repair must be unsound.
The Sarsaparillian Resolvent not only is
a compensating remedy, but secures the harmoni-
ous action of each of the organs. It establishes
throughout the entire system functional harmony,
and-sudplies the blood-vessels with a pure and
healthy current of new life. The skin, after a few
days use of the Sarsaparillian, becomes clear and
beautiful. Pimples. Blotches, Black Spots and Skin
Eruptions are removed; Sores and Ulcers soon
cured. Persons suffering from Scrofula. Eruptive
Diseases of the Eyes, Mouth. Ears, Legs, Throat
and Glands, that have accumulated and spread,
either from uncured diseases or mercury, or from
the use of Corrosive Sublimate, may rely upon a
cure if the Sarsaparillian is continued a sufficient
time to make its impression on the system.
One bottle contains more of th« active principles
of medicines than anv other preparation. Taken in
Teaspoonful Doses, while others require Ave or six
times as much. One Dollar Per Bottle.

of Fresh Groceries bought from manufac-
turers and packers far cash, and shipped
under special freight advantages.
By comparing my prices with those of
other markets, and considering the saving
in freight, you will see how great are the
inducements I offer.
By reason of its shipping advantages
through the competitive action of the nu-
merous transportation lines centering
here, this has become the Best Grocery and
Cotton Market in the State, luhich fact I
can demonstrate whenever an opportunity
is given me.
Your orders for Groceries and ship-

MEDICATED STEAM
Vermin Destroyer
and
DISINFECTANT,
A m AND WONDERFUL INVENTION.
An Errzcnvx, Certain and Sheple sieaxs or
Destroying Bed Bugs, Cockroaches, Ants,
Moths and Parasites of all kinds.
The apparatus for generating the steam
is an ordinary nursery lamp, holding half
a pint of the Medicated Fluid with a tube
at the top to direct the Medicated Steam
upon any point infested with insects. It
is heated with a small spirit lamp beneath
the boiler. For Dwellings, Hotels, Stean;
Ships, Restauarants, etc., nothing ever dis.
covered equals this appliance. It is harm-
less to human life; is inexpensive and sim-
ple in its use.« While a most potent means
for destroying vermin, it is the best disin-
fectant known and may be most effectually
used to prevent the spread of contagious
diseases, such as Yellow Fever, Scarlet
Fever, Typhoid Fever, Diptheria, Small
Pox, &c. One trial is the best proof of
the great advantages of this over all other
appliances. For sale by Druggists and
General Dealers.

Business Good—Values Steady—Lemons
Higher—Grain, Cotton, Etc.
News Office, August 23.-Business continues
good, and the city is beginning to fill up with all
classes of people. Business men, who have been
absent North on business and pleasure combined,
are beginning to return, and each day adds fa-
miliar faces to the centers of trade in the city.
Values are comparatively steady in the general
market, with but few changes to note. Lemons
are still scarce, and prices were advanced o0c@Sl
per box to-day. Com continues scarce and firm.
The arrivals of wheat are light, and prices range
from si 10 to $1 30 per bushel, according to quality
and condition, a prime article readily bringing the
outside price.' Oats may be said to be irregular,
sales being reported to-day on track at 54c, and as
high as 50c, while from store quotations are 55
58c, the market being quoted weaker by some par-
ties, and firm by others.
Cotton at Galveston closed easy at unchanged
quotations. At New York spot was reduced l-16c.
and closed easy. Wilmington advanced spot)4c.
At Augusta spot was 9£c. higher; at Memphis J-ffc
lower. Liverpool quoted spot easier and reduced
quotations l-16d. Futures at New York opened
steady at an advance, but during the day were easy
and decliaing, closing at a decline on all months
but August ana September. At Liverpool deliv-
eries opened higher, but lost the advance in most

PORK PACKING IN THE WEST.
The Cincinnati Price Current of the 18th says:
Outside of Chicago packing has been light during
the past week. The receipts of hogs are pretty
liberal at some other points, but they consist
largely of stock which is better suited to the East-
ern markets tlian for Western packers, and there
are many stock grass hogs sent to market from
localities where the drouth has cut short the feed,
and these help to swell the receipts without adding
much to the supply of packing stock. The stock
hogs are bought mainly by farmers who are more
fortunate in having plenty of feed, and they will
make good pork by Christmas or before. The av
erage quality in all the markets is muoh below
that of a month ago. There is a fair amount of
good fat stock, and of as good quality as is usually
marketed at this seasoH of the year, but the av-
erage is brought down by the large number of
light weights. This is likely to continue to be the
case for some weeks, or until the stock where feed
is short lias been transferred to localities where
it is abundant.
The large advance in the price of corn may make
it less profitable to feed to swine, but the advance
in the price of the product preceded it and in a
measure justified it; so that if corn sustains its
present high level of value it will still be profitable
to convert it into pork, provided the latter does not
materially decline. The hogs need not fear a fam-
ine it the corn crop is short, for there is little doubt
there will be enough ne.v corn for all practical pur-
poses, and there is a large amount of old com in
the country besides.
The returns indicate that the packing during the
past week was about 120,000 against 120,000 last
week, and 130,000 for the corresponding week last
year, making the total since march 1, 8,040,000,
against 3,635,000 for the corresponding time last
j-ear. Showing a decrease of 615,000 head in the
number packed this season,

show the number of hogs packed from March 1 to

places, with comparions, as follows:

Our railways opened flat, but the low figures in-
duced a good home demand and prices advanced.
The foreign markets for American securities have
exhibited a far greater steadiness during the past
month than has been witnessed here, and even to-
day, in face of the President's serious condition,
there was more disposition to buy than to sell.
New York, August 17.—A cable to Messrs. V. atson
& Lang of the Bank of Montreal, advises a ship-
ment of gold to New York, to-morrow, to the extent
of $1,500,000, in addition to which it is known that
from half a million to a million is on the way, part
consigned t > the British Bank. The special cable add•
that it is not improbable, but that the Ba/ilc of Eng-
land rate will be advanced. One million of the
above gold is in bars. . ..
Tbe rates for sterling do not- yet fully justify
shipments of gold this way, particularly where the
parties pay insurance; but bills will soon be suin-
ciently plenty to warrant steady receipts of gola
from boih Paris and London, and German as well.
Philadelphia grain bills sold at 4.79V& while New
York Commercial were 4.80©4.80J4. Prime Bankers
6s were offered at 4.81J4, and demand at 4.83)4. It
was said cables were also offered at the latter
figure, though 4.83)4 was the general market.
Money was artificially marked 6 per cent, but the
bulk of the loans were at 4. Six months loans
were 5 per cent., and 8(&4 months about 4 per cent.,
according to Belmont.
There are rumors that an important East India
house in London is in trouble.
In trunk line matters there is nothing new, but it
appears to be conceded that with the enormous
business doing the roads are making money. Some
of Gould's frisads assert that he will not leave
Saratoga until the difficulties are arranged, and
that he has sufficient influence to bring things to a
satisfactory conclusion.
Governments were quiet, there being little dispo-
tion to operate for either side of the account.
Registered 4J^s sold at 113.
Stocks generally opened dull and inclined to
weakness, but they soon rallied and became firm.
Just before 2 p. m. there was a disposition to sell
the market down again, and prices went oS
per cent. At the present time there is no active,
or scarcely any, resistance to the easy course o*
the market, and the bears are permuted to do
about as they please.

Its Organization and Objects.
ICorrespondence of The News.]
Longview, August 18.—Having haard a
good deal said about the Mutual Self-Endow-
ment and Benevolent Association, whose head-
quarters are at this place, your correspondent,
thinking it of sufficient importance to be of
interest to the readers of The News, dropped
in upon the President of the Association, Cap-
tain Samuel Cundiff, to learn something more
definite and particular than he then knew of
its objects, purposes and plans.
The first inquiry made was, " Has the asso-
ciation been chartered!"
" Yes; its charter was filed in the office of the
Secretary of State, at Austin, June 11, 1881,
and the plan being different and a great im-
provement, as we believe, on that of any other
benevolent association, it has been copyrighted
also."
" You say the plan is different and a great
improvement on that of other benevolent asso-
ciations: in what respects is it so?"
" It differs materially in this, that it pay*
benefits during life, in installments, being gov-
erned by the age of the member, and at death
also. The great improvement consists in the
fact that members are relieved of the annoy-
ance and inconvenience of attending lodge
meetings and the payment of per capita
taxes."
"Will you explain to me the manner of pay-
ing benefits during life!"
Certainly. There are two forms under
which our association issues policies. One is
form A, and this is known as the endowmeut
plan; the other is form B, and it is known as
the ordinary life plan. A person who makes
application for membership in form A, if his
medical examination is approved, will receive a
policy to which there are attached five coupons.
These coupons are payable m a given number
of years from date of membership, as stated
above, depending upon the age of the person.
If the person is between fifty-five and sixty
years, the first coupon matures in three years,
and if he holds a $5000 policy, be will receive
the amount of the first coupon, which is $1000,
or one-fifth of the whole amount of
his policy, at that time. The other
coupons mature every three years there-
after, and if he lives he will receive them all.
If the party is between the age of eighteen
and tu euty-five, his coupons will mature every
ten years."
" I understand you to say, then, that a mem-
ber of your association, who holds a certificate
or policy under form A, keeps his life in-
sured to the amount of one-fifth of his policy,
if he should die, but should he live to the aver-
age expectation of life, from the date of his
becoming a member, he will receive the whole
sum?"
"These are exactly the conditions upon
which members are received into the associa-
tion. Suppose that ilr. Smith, being between
forty and forty-five years of age, having com-
plied with all the requisites to becoming a
member, receives a policy of $5000, if he dies
the next day his legatees receive his first cou-
pon, which is $1000. His coupons will mature
every six years, and should he live to receive
the first coupon and die the next day, his lega-
tee will receive an additional thousand dollars,
or his second coupon, and so on. In this re-
spect it may be said a premium is offered to
the holder of a certificate or policy to live."
" How is the fund created with which to pay
coupons as they mature?"
" I am glad that you propounded that ques-
„:on direct. The endowment plan of our asso-
ciation is intended to and does confer benefits
especially upon the living. A participant does
not have to die necessarily to win. "VV henever
a member dies an assessment is levied upon the
membership to pay such death loss. This is
the case in all mutual benefit organizations.
Now, if death has occurred to a member hold-
ing a policy in tbe endowment plan amounting
to~$5000, one assessment is supposed to create
that sum or more, which is placed in the death
beneficiary fund. The legatee is paid the
amount then due, which on a $o000 policy
would be $1000, and the remaining $4000 are
placed into the maturity fund to pay coupons
when they shall mature. The death may have
occurred after the member had received the
amount of his first four coupons in cash, and in
that case he would have received benefits to
the full amount of his policy."
'•Each death, then, contributes to the fund
with which maturity coupons are paid?"
■ Certainly; and it wiil be found that this is
done, too, without any increase in the rate of
assessments."
" Will the assessments be greater or less in
this association than in any other? "
"Most assuredly not greater, but very prob-
ably less, as we have the experience of other
similar associations to aid us in selecting mem-
bership. Another thing: we have no lodges to
organize, rendering necessary a certain num-
ber of what are known as " charter members,'
and who often are unfit for membership. It is
known that the largest death rate in most of
the beneficiary organizations has been among
its fharter members."
" Upon what does your association base its
permanence?"
" It rests upon identically the same basis as
all other beneficiary associations—the mutual-
and vitalize the whole system.

NEW YORK LETTERS.
Effect of the Presidents's Condition on
the Stock Market—Kold from Abroad

[Special Correspondence of The News.l
New York, August 16.—The President's condi-
tion hangs like a nightmare over the market, al-
though, as the Bulletin observes, " it is difficult to
understand why even his death should have an un-
favorable effect." In the opinion of some of the
oldest heads on the street, the death of the Presi-
dent, sad though it would be, would be a positive
relief to the market, and speculation would very
soon take wings and carry prices higher th&n they
now are. As it it, a nervous feverishness pre-
vails, and bids fair to continue unil the crisis is
settled one way or the other. In several cases,
quite low figures were made for stocks, almost as
low as when the first news of the irtelancholly af-
fair was received, but. sales of this kind are fre-
quently made when there is only a solitary buyer
for the particular lot of stock offered, and the
broker or commission house who cares nothing for
the interest of their customer will sell the stock for
whatever the lone buyer chooses to bid. The price
comes out on the tape, and there is a rush to the
exchange for more at the same figure, but there is
no stock to be had, and the very next sale may be
1@2 per cent, higher. The very low figures so fre-
quently quoted, and particularly in a dull market,
are therefore no criterion of the value of the stock.

ity of assessments.
Before the first coupons can fall due, it
appears to me there will be quite a large sum
of money accumulate in what you designate
the maturity fund. What is the intention of
the directors with reference to this money !"
"It will be loaned to members whose cou-
pons will first mature, as a larger rate of in-
terest can be secured, which interest will go to
the credit of the endowment fund."
" Are the officers of the association who hold
the funds bonded to its members ?"
"They are, and in sums largely in excess of
any amount which will ever, in all probability,
be in their possession. The directors will see
that the funds of the association are properly
invested in undoubted securities."
" How can you loan a member a portion of
his money before the maturity of his coupons?"
"Well, if C joins the association to-day, and
is between the age of fifty-five and sixty, his
first coupon will mature in threo years. It is
plain that no other person can join after him
whose first coupon will mature before his;
then, if he wants the use of his money at an
earlier date than the maturity of his coupon,
he can have it, less the amount of assessments,
which will probably be necessary in the mean-
time. The association risks nothing, and the
member receives his benefit at once, instead of
waiting, and the interest paid goes to the
credit of the endowment fund."
" When are assessments made?"
"Only when there is not sufficient money in
the treasury to pay one death loss, or, in other
words, when there is a death in the associa-
tion."
Will you state what it has cost to start the
association to work ?"
" I would have no objection to doing so, but
_ am not informed of the exact amount. I
know, however, it has been many hundreds of
dollars."
And you have risked this sum upon an ex-
periment ?"
" The directors do not regard it as an experi-
ment. There is a wide-spread belief that life
insurance, based upon anything except ' mutu-
ality of interest," is a failure, and that only as-
sociations conducted upon this plan will suc-
ceed. The experience of the last few years
demonstrates that the general public have con-
fidence in these. I therefore do not think that
the immediate success of the Mutual Self En-
dowment and Benevolent Association is even
problematical, but I believe it an accomplished
fact."

answered, your correspondent withdrew.
