LANCASTER ENTERPRISI Published i-ivery Wednesday ? k Y? The - Enterprise Publishing - Companj A. J. CLARK, Kill tor. MAY, - - - - - 26. 1897 The name of Dr. James II Carlisle of Woll'ord College, ha; been mentioned in conneetiot with the vacancy in the U. S Senate, as have also those of Con gresstnan McLaurin, Ex (lovernoi John Gary Evans, Judge lirawley Ex-Senator Irby, Hon. J. E. Tindal, Railroad Commissioner W, I). Evans, Ex-Senator (State) R. B. Watson, John T. Sloan, S. (r, Maytield and others. But who will receive the appointment is yet a matter of conjecture. As the vote on the tariff* bill, which may he taken at an early day, will be very close, it is important that South Carolina have a Senator appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the lamented Earlo. And as the electing-oody, viz : the Legisla tore, will not inset till January, it is likely that (Jovernor Ellerbe will appoint some one to serve till the Legislature meets. In the mean time a primary will likely be held sometime during the Summer or Fall to nominate a man for the position. McLAURAN THE MAN. Just as we no to nress news reached here that John L. McLaurin has been appointed 1. S, Senator, news that the KstkkI'Hisk is delighted to chronicle. A Rati Showing. Writing under date of May 14 the Chester correspondent of the Columbia liegister says: The innual meeting of the stockholder* of the Catawba Spinning mill wa? held yesterday. The mill was found to be in a deplorable financial condition under the management of 1). A. Tompkins,of Charlotte. a debt of $5G,000 having beer, created since he assumed cuarpe as rresiaent. it was alsc found that he had pived credit to the Chester mills,an insolvent institution, to the amount of $25,000, without any security. The stockholders were loud in their condemnation of i'residentTompkins, and passed resolutions tc that effect. A new board of directors were elected, and the / books of the company will be kept at Chester, instead of Charlotte as heretofore. An action has been broupht apainst Mr. Tompkins and his "dummies" to recover the $25,000 advanced tc the Chester mills without security. Interest for one year on the first mortgage bonds of $50,000 on the Chester mills was due on May 1, but tho same has not yet been paid. No reason has been given by the board of directors for this failure. ?

They Ate " Thero aro fads in medicine as well as in other things," said a busy druggist, " but the most remarkable thing about i Hood's SarBaparilla is that customers who try other remedies all come back to Hood'B, and this is why the enormous Bales of this medicine keep up while others Come and in a short time go out of sight en' tirely, to be heard from no moro." , "Why iH it?" "O, simply because Hood's Sarsaparilla has more real curative merit than any medicine I over sold." This is of daily occurrence in almost every drug store. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the standard remedy which has cured , more sickness, rolieved moro distress and made more happiness by bringing people Back to health than any other medicino. Its > wonderful cures of the worst cases of scrofula, running sores, ulcers, salt rheum, etc.; of dyspepsia and other troubles whero a first class tonic and aid to digestion was needed; of catarrh, rheumatism, malaria and other troubles arising from or promoted by Impure blood, have made Hood's Sarsaparilla The standard ? the One True ltlo ( since reading the opinion of j j Justice Harlan and left out one ( , or two senteuces which might be, , considerded as making boastful j comparisons. The dispensary scandals and' the recent decision in regard to the Agricultural hall case have! , excited a deep feel init of concern i in the minds of the people of the , Stare, and have given my enemies a good excuse to engage anew in the pleasant past time ot abusing and slandering me in connection I with both. I commend heartily i J the governor's action in pressing II the recent investigation and join in the sentiment: ' Let no guilty man escape." I have no desire, nor do 1 believe has the governor, to make scapegoats of anyone but if there a?e any big fish in the net, let them not break through and punish onlv the little ones. There has been more or less looseness in vogue in regard to samples from the very start and it is probable that contraband liquors and samples became mixed in the minds of men connected with the dispensary so that due regard to law has not been had in the disposal of con, trahand seizures. Put if there are no graver crimes in connection with the management than these with which they have thuB far been charged, I do not see that much good will come, even if Scruggs and Ciaston are punished to the fullest extent of the law. In this connection, I would suggest that ton much stress seems to be given to the having of a "hocus-pocus" key. Scruggs was the trusted agent of the board of control, so much so that they refused or failed to elect a commissioner and 1 cannot see what need he had for a key. Shipments must have been received constantly and 1 do not know how they could have been placed in the contraband room unless there was a key always in his possession to open it with. It is possible, at this distance, however, and for the lack of familiarity with tho present workings of the dispensary. my criticisms along this line are worthless. Samples were sent in in great quantities when I was connected with the dispensary and not knowing what else to do with them, they were freely distributed among the visitors to the institution, as one means of determining the qualities of the liquors, and also as courtesies. I s* a rrinrl o/vm/v * 1 vniiiGU nunc H? ill V Ilinise HI1U used them. as did Governor Evans, and, I presume, the present State board of control have done likewise, and I have no apology to make for it. During my term there were very few other articles than liquor seized, though I recall the fact that kegs and small barrels of liquor were found packed in rice barrels and also in casks of hams. I instructed Mr. Traxler to take account of all contraband articles and dispose of them according to law. While there is a great howl raised in regard to the dispensary by the old barroom advocates, it is done with the view of undermining and destroying the dispensary system, and they do not care so much lor the punishment of these men as they rejoice in the opportunity the recent expossures have allotded them for revamping the old slanders about "rebates." The obvious purpose of the antt newspapeis?anti-reform, anti-1 temperance and anti-decency? their obvious purpose, 1 Bay, is ' r-ii ? -1 ? ..... . - I - tu ioiiuw up mo line oi light laid i down lon^ ago: to besmirch the ' character of auy and every man 1 connected with the dispensary ' and to magnify everything which 5 can be criticised in its manage- 1 ment in order to break it down in the affections of tho people J and to accomplish the restora- 1 Hon of barrooms in some form. 1 The system lias no inherent ' vice, which ought to work its j dissolution, and it only requires 1 to be conducted as the asylum,or ( as tho tax department is run to ! command the respect and support of the people. No one can claim that this is a matter of impossi- i bility, and if the system shall ' finally fail it will be owing to ( the improper administration of , the law. So much for the general j \ subject.

Rheumatism Is a blood disease and only a blood reme3y can cure it. So many people make ? the mistake of taking remedies which it best are only tonics and cannot possibly reach their trouble. Mr. Asa Smith, [Jrecucastle, Indiana, says: "For years [ have suffered with Sciatic Rheumatism, which the best physicians were uuible to relieve. I took many patent medicines but they did not seem to ^ reach my trouble. I gradually grew worse until I was unable to take my food or handle myself in any way; I was ahsolutely helpless. Three ^ bottles of S.S.S. relieved me so that I r^nflHH^was soon able to move \? my right arm; before long I could walk across the room, and irhen I had finished one dozen bottles was cured completely and am as well as ever.
