There ha* in>iit-r? our an rmpres f; hon in some quarters lh>rt the proprietor of the County Record has boujdtt an interest in the Lake |\ itity Times. This is a mistake. When we were told by editor Hill that Ihe pater was to be disaoariaaed we bought from the proprietor of that paper a portion I of the office supplies. type, Ac., which we were in need of but toothing more. Editor Hill arrang||L ad with the proprietor of the County Record to have the Re* cord aent to the subscribers who kad paid for the Times iu advance bad whose subscriptions had not * tfepircd, for the unexpired time, at this time it was not known that the Tim** was to be continued. am msmmIaiI rilk tko I Vim lyR-coid ow?i? any interest in " the lime* * hatever.

A special # to the Stare one day recently said that Ml V C McGowan, of Abbeville, would be in the race, and ftam a)) accounts it seems W. tint ei-Otesmuiian George D. ; Tillrea ? will eater the contest.

Tbe pceeedent has long f ~ since been established to give a 'i Governor two terms if be so de V *$iiied it, and thfc rate has not ^ ^ been broken since the days of I Hampton. In every case where fft^thn Governor only served one ^fefm^it was not his desire to be IjfelNHbitt.

Tillman has thousands L ' of ardent admirers and supporters, r JEitber one of these would make | jtr Jaat aa acceptable a Governor as f: pJtUecbe?or more so?yet we do |. *7dot believe that either of them van defeat the present chief ex Fll The indications point to a pro| hibition candidate for Governor t* next ve r. We believe that un v\')esa the Legislature in January peases some acceptable liquor bill tint there will be a candidate brought ont by that party. If there is such a candidate in the field be will receive much sup port rrom all factions. He will doubtless be a pure man, and will, therefore, command the respect r admiration of a'l men regardmaaof actional affiliation. This on the part ?if the prohibi I W ""^V_ ^ tionisis wouM complicate I he i political chess board to such an I extent that prediction as to 1 he i final outcome would be but mere; guesswork.

I It was not a modern American writer who, discussing tbe children, wrote of them thus: "How many are thore who will give place to a man out of respect to his age and dignity \ They are shrewd men already and know everything.

Legislature will have a tough nut to crack it [solving the dispensary pionlem I Goveriu>r Elierbe promises that his : mes^aue to his General Assembly I Will be devoted almost exclusive Iv to the whiskey question. Jus i what recommendations he will make it not konwn. The Columbia State in discus jsing the matter last Saturday | said. j As the time draws near for the assembling of the State legisla [ lure in annual sessn n ine various members of (lie g-. neral assembly ! who happen in the capital city ! are discussing more generally the | liquor situation. One cannot but J be surprised at the dritt of all j their remarks. It may be sum: med up in the statement that they do not know exactly uhich is best to be done. So far none of them have been heard to suggest any ma terial changes in the dispensary in fact, taking the liquor ques tion as a whole, they ail seem to entirely at sea. In the last few days there has | been considerble lull? about turnling whole business over to the I _ _ people to settle at the ballot box In other word* to leave the liquor I problem to u general election ; and let the people go Jo the ballot ' box expressing their preference (1) for dispensary, (2) for piohi bition, and (3) for high license under the constitutional restric lions,, the general assembly abiding the result. A prominent Scale j senator a few days ago said that I this was the only way h saw ot |settling the matter to the satisj faction of the jx*opIe as a whole. J The dispensary auvocate* claim j mat ine mass oi rue people want ' the ri-pensary as it is, o. p. or no jo. p. thrown in: the same thing is true of the prohibit ionis: s as to j their system of control, a d the j high license people believe that j the people of the State will vote | down the dispensary and prohi i bitionition. Jt does not appear that if isgc| ing to be an easy undertaking I either, to devise a way of getting ; at the o. p. bustiess within the j United States law. If a high li' cense is i in nosed noon the o. n r 1 r agencies the UnitedSlates law will | require that it be also imposed up on tiie dispensaries, and will come Jinan act nl South Carolina su ]| prerne court which prevents the State from licensing its own agents ' Some have suggested the plan | of putting the o. p. agencies on ; the same basis as dispensarie? | under the control of the c u?ty board of control in all respects, i requiring them to make reports las dispensaries*have to do. and ! also requiring lhem to sell at the 'prices as dispensers. The trouble , about this is that the State dispen sarv has to makeabout thirty per cent on the liquor before it gt>es to the local despenseo; then the additional profit must be made there in the retail sale. This, it is easily seen, would make a hand some profit to the o. p. manufacturer, who would not have to provide for profit No. 1. It is a serious question that confronts the General Assembly. At present it is_ absolutely impos sible to foretell what course will be pursued. TO Cl'RE A COLD l.\ OXli DAT Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

The bladder wascreated forone purpose. namely, a receptcle for the urine and as such it is not liable toany form of diseases except by one or two ways. The first way is from imperfect action of the kidneys. The second is from careless local treatment of other dia6QCAC CHIEF CAUSE. Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys is the chief cause of bladder trouble. So the womb, like the bladl*?r -.vn<s rrpjifpd fcr fine nurnfise. and if not doctored too much is not liable to weakness or dy>ea<e. except in rare : cases. It is situated of and very closa to the bladder, therefore any disease or inconvenience manifested in the kidneys, bark, bladder, or un narv passage is often, by mistake, attributed to female weakness or womb; trouble of some sort. The error is1 ensily made and may be as easily j avoided. To find out correctly, set your urine aside for twenty four hours j a sediment or settling indicates kid- { ney or bladder trouble.
