For President: WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN, OF NEBRASKA. For Vice-President: ADLAI E. STEVENSON, OF ILLINOIS. PREACHERS vs. MINISTERS. Ex-Rev. G. Walt Whitman, re cently a candidate for governor, was arrested in his home town one day last week and fined $25. for carrying a concealed weapon and disorderly conpuct. Mr. Whitman was at one time a re spected member of the South Carolina Conference, he was then a minister of the gospel, and stationed in Manning, but he got to tampering with politics and other things and the consequence is, that he no longer expounds the divive law from the sacred desk, and he has become a nuis ance. Many of our readers will re member another preacher who at one time lived in the Salem section of this county, how he got to messing with politics, and how his usefulness vanished like a mist before the burning rays of the sun. We have never yet known of a preacher fooling with politics, but that it had the effect of destroying him. We do not regard every preacher a minis ter of the gospel; there are some preachers serving the Devil in the livery of heaven, but minis ters of thle gospel, are men con secrated to teach and -make hap py: ministers of the gosgel do not turn a deal ear to the appeal of a fevered parched tongue that sends its faint moan from the crevices of a hut, nor do they indulge in worldly pleasures while the poor of their congre gations are suffering for want of spiritual attentention. A preach er in polites is a politician, a preacher at the race track is a sport, a preacher at the gambling table is a gambler, and a preach er aiding and encouraginag in making strife is a dangerous man in a community. Ministers find their minds, hands, and hearts full in looking after the flocks whom God hath entrusted to them, they have no time for politics except to vote as citizens, they feel it incumbent upon them to see after those who need light and benevolence, the~y burn the midnight lamp "searching the Scriptures" as they are com manded, for the gospel truths, and they do not spend their time catering and toading around the prominent and wealthy members of their con gregation. Had Mr. Whitman been steadfast he would to day be a beloved pastor of some church, and with his ability he could have been instrumental in shaping the spiritual course of thousands of souls, but he got to messing in politics and becoming infatuated with its exciting al lurements, he cast his God aside and his soul, oh! well, preachers and politics should not mix. The Greenville News has not found out that the primary is over, for it keeps right on "chewin'" the liquor soaked Governor McSweeney's prompt action in sending troops to Georgetown is deserving of the highest praize. The soldiers going there *vith such a short notice opened the eyes of that ignorant horde of blacks who believed that the rice fields about Georgetown was the whole world. The threatened outbreak at Georgetown is an object lesson for other towns that are without a millitary protection, and it should have the effect of causing the General Assembly to be more liberal towards the militia. The fact of a company being in a community has a very peaceful effect and no town of any size should be without one. We be lieve the General Assembly should enact a militia law whicli would induce our young men to take an interest in the milhitary; it is the best and cheapest police The appeal to reason publish ed in Girald Kansas in its issue of October 6th, publishes a full text of the South Carolina dis pensary law. Kansas will drop her prohibition falacy and adopt a liquor selling regulation found ed on practical season such as the dispensary law of this State. Notwithstanding the fact that months ago it was declared that the war in the Philippines was over, the news comes across the ocean of a whole company of the 29th infantry having been swal lowed as if the earth opened and took them in. The war in the Philippines continues right on in spite of the reports from Wash ington, and we fear that the Un ited States will realize a repeti tion of Spain's experience. Peo ple who fight for home and fire side do not give up on the ap pearance of an enemy; they fight to the death. Spain fought to subdue the Fillipinos for over a hundred years, and when Dewey entered Manila bay, the Spanish government was where it had started-had accomplished noth ing more than the loss of thous ands of precious lives. We are almost in the same fix, we not only have lost very many loyal American citizens, but we have paid $20,000,000 for the privilege of losing very many more, if this fanatical attempt to shoot reli gion into heathen continues. Trade may follow the flag some day, but at present death and destruction have followed in the wake of that emblem of liberty, and we see no sign of a rift in the black cloud. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. when this tube gets inflam ed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear ing. and when it is entirely closed deafness 4c the result. and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition,hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh. which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mu cous surfaces.

She was disappointed and wanted to know what cough preparation I could recommend. I said to her that I could freely recommend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and that she could take a bottle of the remedy and after giv ing it a fair trial if she did not find it worth the money to bring back the bottle and I would re fund the price paid. In the course of a day or two the lady came back in company with a friend in need of a cough medicine and advised her to buy a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

Yes, August Flower still has the lar gest sale of any medicine in the civil ized world. Your mothers and grand moters never thought of using any thing else for Indigestion or Bilious ness. Doctors were scarce and they seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fermentation of undi gested food. regulate the action of the liver, stimulate the nervous and organic action of the system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other aches.
