WHO'S 10 PAY THE FREIGHT l satisfied with the remarkable small vote given him for the legisla ture by the people of his own county who know him best, A. C. Jones, State Chairman of the Prohibition Executive Committee is again out in the public prints; this time reaching out for the United States Senatorship, and in his card he places the blame for Prohibition defeat upon Senator Ben Tillman. Let us see, if our mem ory serves us right, this Mr. Jones is one of the "use-to-be's" who was giv en an indefinite leave of absence by the election of 1890, and from that time on, we have read numerous ex pressions of opinion in the newspaper:: from Mr. A. C. Jones; it was this same Jones who claimed to have accepted a position in the office of Secretary of State (chief clerk) with the under standing that he would retire with his superior, and when Col. Lip scomb's time was out, he declined to continue in the same position with Major Leitner, prefering to go into business, and his salary, since 18S6, has averaged at least one thousand dollars a year more than his position as chief clerk in the Secretary of State office paid him. Mr. Jones is a fine business man and personally we esteem him high ly; we have so expressed ourself on former occasions, but his retirement from politics when he left the office of Secretary of State was not perma nent, as his frequent letters to the press show. After his entering busi ness (becoming a drummer for North ern dry goods firms) his passion for politics wvas so strong, that notwith standing the fact that he "averaged at least one thousand dollars a year more than 'his' position in the Secre tary of State's office paid" him he dc cepted a position in the engrossing department, and thereby prevented some persons who were not averaging one hundredth part of the money that was being made by Mr. Jones and who possibly were in need and strug gling to win bread for their families. Mr. Jones, we judge to be a man fond of politics, and the fact that his own people would not support him, for the legislature, doe's not daze him in least as is shown by his announcment as a candidate for United States Sen ate. Jones is after Ben Tillman's scalp, and with the hope that the Pro hibitionists of this State will continue to be huddled together to be voted as the leaders may affix the label of pro hibition; he comes out early and offers1 himself upon the sacrificial altar. We invite the attention of our readers to Mr. Jones' letter and we will ask them the question, if they cannot see more politics than "moral principle" in the document. He is willing for the sake of moral princi ple to sit upon the platform of Hon. 0. L. Shumnpert, and Col. Geo. D. Tillman, thatjis to exempt coun ties by a two-thirds vote from the operations of a prohibitive law, pro vided such counties would assume all expenses for the enforcement of the law and responsibility connected with its sale. At one time we charged Mr. Jones with being an astute politician, but now we beg leave to withdraw the word "astute" that the word politi cian may remain without any pre fix. Dearness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion ot- the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by 'constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the infiamiation can be taken out and this tube restored to its nor mad condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine eases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circuiars, free. F. J. CHENE & Co., Toledo, C). Sold by druggists, 75c. Hall's Family Pilis arc the best. It is with much pleasure that we note in the Columbia correspondence of the News and Courier that Hon. J. W. Kennedy of Clarendon will be a candidate for the position of Sergeant at-arms for the State Senate. The members of that August body could not, if they hunted the State over find; a more suitable man for the place. He! has the legislative experience of two terms as a member of the lower house the constitutional convention and he has often attended the State conven tions. Mr. Kennedylis energetic and a sober man, if elected Sergeant at arms, the Senate will have no reason to regret their selection of him. As a courtesy, we would be pleased if our contemporaries throughout the State would reproduce the above. ISSUES OF THE CAMPA1N. Ex-Governor Stoneof Missouri Discusses the Political Situation. In my opinion, the next Democrat ic National Convention will again de clare for the free coinage of silver and it will be done by a practically unanimous vote. The party, as a whole, is intensely in earnest in its advocacy of bimetallic coinage. It will not recede from this position; it will not go backward. I believe the next National Demo cratic Convention will also press our maritime interests to the front. And make the rehabilitation of our mer chant navy a leading issue of the cam paign. I say "issue" because any se rious effort to rebuild our merchant navy on a large scale will necessitate a bold assault on those Republican policies which have destroyed our maritime interest for the benifit of a special monopoly, and because the existence of a great merchant navy would of itself put forces into opera tion which would soon demolish that whole fabric of "protection" so artful ly contrived by our Republican oppo nents. If we expand our maritime inter ests, we must seek trade; if we covet dowinion of the seas, we must control the markets of the world. But this we cannot do if we exclude others from our own markets. If we put "Private and Exclusive" over the gateways to our ports, we cannot ex pect a free welcome into the p?t.s of other countries. The two things are inconsistent and i.npossible. But we should fill the se,s with our ships. What we need above all things are markets. The productive capacity of our country, a.ready great beyond comparison, can be quadrupled; and the inventive genius'and business skill and enter prise of our people are confessedly superior to all others. If we under take in dead earnest to do the carry ing trade of the world and to control the world's commerce, we will soon outstrip all competition. Think what we might do if we should do our best. Let me illustrate: Of our enormous cotton product we manufacture only a small percent. (I do not venture into statistics off-hand.) By far the greater part is shipped abroad. fab ricated in foreign mills, and made the basis of a vast commerce for foreign countries. All this cotton is manu factured somewhere, it is transported in somebody's ships, and the manu factures are sold somewhere in the markets of the world. Why should not we manufacture our own cotton, carry the goods in our own ships, and sell or exchange them ourselves to those who have need of them? If this should be done it would greatly enchance our man ufacturing interests, give employment to thousands, and by stimulating de mand increase the market price of the raw material. What is true of cotton is equally true of other things. If we find mar kets to absorb our products, the mills and men to make them will follow; they will all grow up together. Can we find the markets? I believe we can-in the Orient; aye, and in Eu rope, too, for with our superior ma chinery and workmen, we can pay higher wages, and yet compete with Europe for trade in her own markets. But if we want the world's markets, we must go to them. If we desire to dominate the world's commerce, we must be equipped for the work. To be so equipped we must have the greatest merchant navy afloat. All this is good old Democratic doc trine. It was a favorite policy of our fathers in ante-bellum days. I believe it will be again. And, therefore, I believe the next Democratic conven tion will push the revival of our mar itime interests to the front and make it a leading issue; and, incidentally, will insist upon the speedy construc tion of the Nicaragua Canal, and the necessary enlargement of our navy. To my mind there is so much of pros - perity and glory to our country to be gained by this policy, that I believe it will command the support of the people of all classes and sections when it is fully presented and understood. Apropos to this I believe it should be the policy of the Democratic party to have our government seek the clos est alliance with Mexico and Central and South America, and, I may add, with Canada also. We ought to form with them, or as many of them as possible, a bimetal lic union, and make bimetallism an American policy in opposition to the European policy of monometallism. If we take the lead and offer the proper inducments and encourage ment, this can be done. We'can so unite the Americans as to rule the world, not by force of arms, but by the arts of peace. I believe I have indicated what will probably be the leading issues of the next campaign. There will, of course, be other issues of more or less impor tance, but I have said so much al ready that I must not attempt to further particularize. Those I have named will be, in my opinion, the issues in which the people will take the greatest interest. Expansion of the currency by the free coinage of silver, and the expansion of commerce by rebuilding the merchant marine should be our battle cry. Respect fully, WILL~IA J. SrOM:.

[The same medicine in South Carolina would make the Dispensary law a promo tor of temperance.-Ed.) Ollis Cathcart, white, was arrested in the criminal court Thursday, charg ed with retailing liquor to students at Davidson College. Judge Sutton sentenced him to twelve months on the chaingang. In his remarks in this case, Judge Sutton said: "The offenses with which this man is charged, to my mind, are the most serious, which are mentioned and denounced by the common law. "Davidson college, one of the old est, most respected and influential of our colleges for the education of the young men and boys of this and other States, holds out to the parents and guardians of these boys whose education it will undertake, that they will be guarded and protected against all vices and improper influences. The officers and trustees of this insti tution of learning have complained to the court and solicitor, that the de fendant has for a long time, and per sistently, sold spiritous liquors to the boys attending the college. Remon strances were frequently made by the officers of the college, praying this de fendant to desist in his nefarious business, or move away from the col lege grounds and vicinity. Remon strances have fallen on dead ears; they have been made in vain. The defendant is not a licensed retailer, and if he was, it is unlawful for him or anyone else to sell or give liquor of any kind to mingrs-boys under 21 years of age. The boys at this college are for the most part, away from home, and deprived of the re straining influence of father and mother, sister and brother, and left to the care of the college officers who, in this case, have done all they could without results, and now appeal to this court for the protection of the boys which the law affords, and they shall have it. Our schools and col leges must be protected. If men will deal in spiritous liquors, let them sell to the men of mature years, but for God and humanity sake, spare the boys. The judgment of the court is, that the defendant work on the county roads of Mecklenburg county for twelve months.-Charlotte Observer. How to Look Good.

"I shaved Jesse James, the once oted outlaw, down in southern Ken tucky a long time ago," said an old gray haired fellow on the train the other ay, "when the man's life wasn't worth a penny. Jesse rushed into my little country place, down in the Red river country, one day in the latter part f December and asked me if I wouldn't have him while he looked after his olt's revolvera and watched the doov. [ was not a barber by trade, but those persuaders Jesse had induced me to try my hand with a new Wade & Butcher razor I took out of my showcase. As I shaved, the man ef iron nerve sat with a cocked pistol in each hand and told me in a few hurried words that a posse was pursuing him, bent on capturing him, dead or alive, on the charge of robbing a bank at .Russellville, a crime, e averred, of which he was not guilty. He wanted his beard shaved off that he ight fool his pursuers if they should happen to catch up with him. I finished the job of scraping. The much wanted individual thanked me, and, mounting a horse, which had been hitched in the rear of my store, bade me good evening nd rode away. I didn't know for cer tain who my visitor was, although I suspected it, until the next day, when heard that a man in the neighborhood was telling that he had seen the elder ames the afternoon before. I suppose that was the last shave Jesse James got in Kentucky, and I have never seen him after that day. "-Louisville Post. Duty. To do the duty nearest, simple and natural as it may seem, Is really the most difficult thing in life. To see it even is difficult. I do not know wvhat it is in man that always makes him enam ored of the distant thing. It is always tomorrow and tomorrow. Today we will aream and plan and postpone; Zo morrow we will act, and so life gets to be a snarl of neglected yesterdays, a de eiving show of promised tomorrows, nothing really accomplished.-J. F.

CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of JUVENILE LITERATURE. En France It Is rrim to the Extreme ol Insipidity. Literature in our country not having as its aim either instruction or amuse ment, but tho production of works of art, is forbidden to French children. I e:cept fairy tales. Perault has written masterpieces; Mime. d'Aulnoy and oth ers have fo'lowed him. The fairies of other countries may have been more poetic, but they have never been as wit ty as the French. Leaving fairy tales aside. children were obliged for a long time to be satisfied with the very slight collection bequeathed by Berguin, Bouilly, Mme. de Genlis, those clever people and who know how to coat a moral lesson with a thin layer of pictures, as bitter pills are coated with sugar. In fact, this is the French parents' very ideal in the matter of story books, and to please them the lesson must not be too well coated or hard to find. for the spirit of investigation is not encouraged in young readers. During the past 20 years, however, the meager library at their disposal has grown wonderfully. Celebrated pens have contributed toward it. We need but mention Jules Verne, whose scientific fairy taes have, alas, almost completely dethroi:ed those that appealed to the imagination alone. But neither in his books, nor in those of any of his com petitors, will you ever find what both English and American writers currently permit themselves to dc-namely, to ar raign a relative, as, for instanc, the wicked uncle in "Kidnapped," or to make teachers hateful, or merely ridicu Ious, as is the case in Dickens' -vorks. This would be an outrage upon the re spect due them in the aggregate. For this reason translations are nearly al ways expurgated. The friendly adop tion of poor Laurie by the four girls in "Little Women" would be considered very unseemly. Yet, for all that, they were good little New England girls. T. B. Aldrich's "Story of a Bad Boy" was deprived of one of its prettiest chaptcrs, the one about his childish love for a big girL. "It is useless, they say, "to draw attention to that kind of danger." Authors and editors are often greatly perplexed before this severe tribunal of French parents. The difference between the books children are allowed to read in France and those sought by their elders, the contrast between the taste less pap on one side and the infernal spiceness on the other, must greatly as tonish both English and American read ers, who nearly all accept the same lit erary diet, young and old, parents and children.-Th.
