MAY 4. 1*98 The C >unty Democratic Convention which assembled in the court house at this place last Monday was truly a representative body and was composed of some of the best material of the county. There was an absence of all effort at wire pulliDg and slate making. There was a disposition exhibited by some members of the convention to take from the people the right to choose their Magistrates by popular vote and have them appointed through a recommendation by the Executive Committee. A resolution to this effect was introduced by Mr. W. J. McCartha, a delegate from Risbton, and was the occasion of a considerable discussion. In defense of his resolution, he claimed that the Magistrates, or at least some of them, were not doing their duty in the prosecution of the violators of the dispensary law and seemed to think that where an officer depended upon a popular vote for his election he was greatly influenced by local opinion and his official acts were done with a view of making himself popular with his constituents. Dr. Crosson opposed the resolution in timely and well chosen words "SY. B. Seay thought the lowest as well as the highest officer should be elected by the people. The resolution was rejected. Another matter which occasioned a lengthy and at times an animated debate, was the proposition sent up by the Boylston club, to have the township commissioners suggested by townships in the primary election for appointment by the Governor. Mr. J. W. Dreher thought it best to leave the appointment as now, as it might greatly interfere and embar rass the Supervisor in his woik if a board was elected which did rot sympathize with hira and were not in accord with his plans, besides he did not believe in so much scramble for offices. This resolution was vigorously fought and was killed. On account of ill health Mr. Thomas Addison has been forced to retire from the management of the Columbia Register. He has been succeeded by Mr. W. McB. Sloan. We wish both outgoing and incoming managers abundant success. We throw out the suggestion in behalf of the health of our soldier boys. Why not mobulize the troops at Lightwood Knott Springs. There is an abundance of pure water, an excellent drill ground and is away from the small pox epidemic. There is more Catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all other diseases put together, and until tbelast few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treat -ment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney <fc Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address. F. J.

Craft was re-elected ! President; J. J. Boles, Yice-Presi- . dent; C. C. Justice, Secretary C. R. j Starke, Treasurer; U. W- Jefcoat, ! Executive Committeeman. The following resolutions were ' then adopted: Whereas the rural districts have I loDg stood in need of a better sjstem j of mail delivery, and CoDgress hav- j ing taken active measures in regard ; to same, therefore, be it, Resolved, 1st. That we, the Democrats of the Bull Swamp Democratic Club, wish to express ourselves as being highly in favor of said action. 2nd. That we, also, endorse the stand taken in CoDgress by our Honorable Representative, Dr. J. Wm. ; Stokes. 3rd. That a copy of these resolu- ! tions be sent to the Lexington Dis- j patch for publication. C. C. Justice, Secretary. M L Yj ;<-um, CatneroD, Pa., says, ! "I was a sufferer for ten years, try- ! iog most all kinds of pile remedies, ' but without success, DeWitt's Witch j Hazel Salve was recommended tome. | I used one box. It has effected a ! permanent cure." As a permanent j cure for piles De Witt's Witch Hazel j S.dve has no equal. J. E. Kaufmann. ! * When you come to town call and j pay your subscription.

Haseldon, of Marion, Sergeant j Major. lu addition to these the Governor will appoint one chief I musician and two assistants Dr. Lewis of the regular army and j Drs. Taylor and Weston of Columbia, j will constitute an examining board j to pass upon the qualifications of 1 surgeons. The war revenue bill has passed : ' Cmorress. It includes the bond, fea- , O ture, which the Democrats vigorously, I but ineffectually, fought, making an I effort to substitute an income tax i provision for the bond issue. j The Spanish version of the bomb- j ardment of Matanza is that the fort i- j fications have not suffered in spite i of 300 shells fired by the American j fleet and nothing was killed except j an aged mule which was quietly munching grass. This version is so fresh that it must be taken with huge j quanties of salt. Alabama has made up her quota j of volunteers called for by the Presi j dent. Miss Clara Barton, and her Red j Cross nurses, has sailed for Key j West. John Walts, arrested at New Or- j leans on April 29, as a Spanish spy, I will be shot. Governor Bob Taylor of Tennes- ' see, has volunteered, as also has Governor Bradley of Kentucky. From the movement of the troops it is possible that our boys will occupy Cuba inside of ten days. It is announced that Gen. Wade will have comttfand of the United States troops which will be seat to Cuba. It is reported that the President will immediately call for 10,000 ne gro volunteers. It is thought that the response wilt oe prompt. The war news bas been of an intensely exciting nature this week on account of the beginning of actual hostilities. While the news is not altogether reliable as to the defeat of the Spanish fleet at Manila, on account of the cable being cut by j the Spanish, yet enough is known to | warrant us in saying that Admiral i Dewey has won a brilliant and im| portant victory, and one that has placed him in the foremost rank of American commanders. The bombardment of Manila was terrific and its effects withering. The t j American fleet was exposed to the i combined fire of the enemv's fort I and squodrau, but gallantly repulsed : j the Spanish fleet and silenced the j ' guns of the fort. Spanish advices j ' of the engagement are to the effect j that her squadron has been com- j pletely annihilated. The Spanish j seoond class cruiser Don Juan de j Austria was severely damaged, and j her commander killed.. Another of ; the enemy's vessel was burned and ' the warships Mindauao and Ulloa i were slightly damaged All of the j vessels of the enemy 's squadron received damages of a more or less serious nature. Damages were done tn the American fleet but to what ex- ! tost is not known. It is thought by ! officials in Washington that Admiral Dewey has captured and occupies j Manila and will use it as a base for i supplies. No definite news, however, j can be received from the Admiral in- j side of two weeks. The recent explosion of several j powder mills has caused the United i States government to take extraordi- { nary precuations to protect them aru detachments of artillery have been detailed to guard them. All the States have raised their i quota of volunteers called for by the | President and they have been moli- j lized at the places designated in each State by the authorities. !f the Baby is Cutting Teeth | Be sure and use that old and well j tried remedy, Mrs. Winslow's Sooth | ing Syrup for children teething.

The fact is that the poor wife is suffering from illness of a description tlsat breaks a woman down sooner than any thing else. Her back is weak and aches. Her " sides stitch." She has pains and a dragging sensation in the abdomen. Her appetite is touchy and she suffers from nausea. She has sick headaches, giddiness. dizziness, cold chills, flushings of lieat, shortness of breath, palpitation, disturbed sleep, frightful dreams, irregularities and nervous and trembling sensations. Her pain-racked nerves are a continual torture. r A woman in this condition is suffering from weakness and disease of the delicate and important organs concerned in wifehood and motherhood.

To the Voters of the Seventh Congressional Distiict: My candidacy for Congress haviug been very kindly mentioned by the various papers of the District, and believing that it is now time that the people should know definitely my intentions and the platform of principles upon which I shall make the race, and in order that they may have time to consider for themselves irKutliov nr nnf tiro niineinles for r 1'? which I stand are for their best interest, I now give my reasous for making the race, together with an embodiment of the platform on which I stand. I will make the race because I believe the people of this district will favor my election io the lower house of Congress and because I am ambitious to return to the National capital empowered with the authority to vindicate a ligbteous cause for which I was rebuked by the traitors of Democracy and retu^ped to my people at home. I believe that my acquaintance with national affairs for three years in Washington will enable me to honestly and effectively j discbarge the duties devolving upon this high office in the interest of the people, and assist in no small way in bringing about needed reforms in j finance, trade, and taxation that shall i inure to the wellfare of our peo| plo and bring relief to all classes ; who labor for an honest doiiiir by . honest toil. I believe the financial question will be paramount to all others in the coming Congressional contest throughout the United States. My ideas upon this question are too well known bv the people to need an explanation now. I am unalterably opposed to mono ? t i t ?i j* i ] m -tansm. i ueueve m guiu auu mi ver, the dollar of our daddies, the honest dollars that were given to us j by the fathers of our government | through our constitution when they i declared that gold and silver coined [ free at a fixed ratio shall be the money of our constitution. I am a : bimettilist. I am in favor of the free J coinage of silver and gold at the ratio of Id to 1, without begging the - consent of auy foreign power. I am as honest aud as conscientious iu mv belief now as I was in the last National campaign when I espoused the cause of true Democracy and fought iu the iuterest of the great common people from every stump in the valleys of West Virginia. We need retrenchment and reform in National politics. We need young men. bold, aggressive, and conservative from the ranks of the people, who can stand uncorrupted before the syndicates of monopolies and trusts and speak in no uncertain tones of the evils and wants of the laboring masses. My untiring energy and efforts shall be freely given to loosen the shackles of British gold that have been fastened upou us through the treachery of American plutocrats in high places of honor which they have befouled. 1 shall leave nothing undone to foster a revolution in American politics?a revolution that shall presage the dawn of a brighter period for those in the furrow, in the factory and iu the shop. I am not a protectionist by any means, but I believe with the Chicago platform that the tariff duties should bear equally upon every sectiou of the Union und as near equally as possible upon all classes and conditions of men. 1 believe that we of the South arc as much entitled to t in If or bounty ou our raw cotton as the manufacturers who weave it iuto cloth. I believe the man who digs iron is as much entitled to a tariff on that raw iron as the man who refines it into sted I do not bilicve in free raw mateiial for the South and a protect'd manufacturfd product for the North. This is the class legislation that has I enriched tli?- North and impuv:sL?d j j tbe Sulltb. Iu my opinion the income tux will j play no small part in the coming j campaigu. I am heartily iu favor of j such a tux f.r by suc-h a system of * national tax-it iui\ the bunions cf tax i . ation will rest as well upon the vast corporate powers of wealth as i p >u the mail who labors fur his daily \ bread. I believe Congress should repeal the 10 per cent, on State banks, and in this way establish the old Demo- ! cratic form of State banks that we j may have an elastic currency," con- j trading and expanding in unison j with the volume of trade aud busi- j ness interests cf the producers as j w?ll as the consumers, thus allowing loans at easy rates of interest during j tlmsjp spasmis of the vear when those ' ""V%" V " " v' who (ill the soil most need financial j relief. In this way we can have re i lief at Lome without bowing down to the great ni( ney centres of the j world. In conclusion, as the question has ( been often a^ked cue, I will say that i I am not a faction candidate. It has j always beeu my policy to suppoit those men regardless of faction \v'? o j I believe most honest and capable of ! filling positions of trust and honor I did this conscientiously always having in view the wellfare of the entire people. If I am to be elected simply because I may belong to one i or another faction, I say plainly that j I would rather remain in private life I for if that is all that can commend me to the people of the Seventh Di.-- j trict, I deseive to remain as I am, a private citizen. The candidate for j this high office who cannot stand ; upon his merits as a man, but de- j pends for success upon factional ani- ! mositics and intrigues of scheming o n ; politicians is neither a statesman nor a patriot and deseives the contempt j of an honest people. I shall know or recognize no faction but shall try to make an honest, brave, bold fight, declaring from every stump the eternal tiuths of Democracy as I understand them iu the interest of an honest hearted, God fearing and united people. Yours sincerely, Thomas F. Brantley. Orangeburg, S. C , April 20, 1S07. A Backward Spring BiiDgs Blood Diseases, Nervous Derangements and Chronic Catarrh. Never was there a greater demand for spring medicines?something to cleanse the blood strengthen the nerves, or regulate the digestion. Is there any medicine so good for these purposes as Pe ru na? Thousands of doctors, druggists and teus of thousands of people of all classes i and vocations have long ago decided - this question?that Pe ru na has no equal in these ^ cases. Poor, | shrunken dys- [ ' peptics become v V ; strong, vigorous, and hearty , after a fe.v bot- V^jT^ ties of it. Peo- 'lf?w j/j /. pie who are : blotched, pirn- \y '$ $$' pled and sallow > and sluggish never fail to find a course of Pe-ru na to clear the skin, ; invigorate the system and enrich the - blood. Chronic catarrh in all phases [ and stages, cases that have defied the best of treatment for many years, , take a few bottles of Pe ru-na to their entire relief. Nervousness, i debility, weakness of both sexes, sleeplessness, irritability, despondency, hypochondiia, all these disan pear when JPe ru na is used according to directions. One of the most instructive books on chronic catarrh ever furnished free is being sent by the Pe ru na Drug Manufacturing Company, Columbus, Ohio. This book is very instructively illustrated with expensive drawings, and will be sent free | to any address. I - . Card cf Thanks To the KJitor of the Dispatch.
