THE POLITICAL POT BEGINS TO BOIL. SOME PROBABLE CANDIDATES (OR GOVERNOR-PLENTY OF TIME BEFORE THE NEAT PRIMARY. Columbia, July 4: ? Iti less than a v jfhir's time there will be another campaign in South Carolina for State office?. It is likely to be a spirited campaign and a tight all along the line?that is, for other offices than that of Governor. The first of the formal announcements of the campaign has been .1f T Ulooeo Koa iin. i jxiaue; a>u vuivuiuu aj xntnov. .... , nounced that he will again make the race for Governor. Mr Blease has a way of getting in early aud fighting to the finish whether he wins or not. Some folks have suggested that he _ has made a race or two to defeat pothers. There is 110 wav for motives to be interpreted. S Who is going to ru:i for Governor? Over in Georgia they groom candidates and nominate them a year or two before they go into ottice. There are some fulks whothiuk fl>n A ii.riipf nrimiirio; nn fhf mat, tiiu axu^ucv I'tiuiMiiw v.. .... liquor question will materially affect' the situation before the candidates j for Governor are announced. As a matter of fiict, tiie State is now prohibition from a numerical standpoint; that is, so far as the voters in the State primary are concerned. f Anderson, Greenville, Spartan- ! burg, Union, Oconee, Pickens, York and Greenwood are now prohibition and these counties alone, not toeven count th3 other prohibition counties, contain a majority of the white voters of the State. The counties that are aud have been prohibition for several years now have and have had the majorities for a long time, and whether any of the counties go for prohibition in the August primary will not materially affect the situation. It may give a reason for a prohibition ticket; although that same reason has existed some time. Governor Ansel is to-dav doing us much j to enforce prohibition in the State as< could a Governor elected as a siinon J kpure prohibitionist. It takes local sentiment more than aU else to enforce this particular law. But about tlie candidates. Mr Blease is going to run. The symp^ toms are that Mr Richard I Manning of Sumter will be in the race. The probabilities are that Attorney General J Fraser Lyon will be a candidate. The friends of Lieutenant Governor Thomas G McLeod of Bishopville are urging him to run. These four are more or less certain candidates. If the prohibitionists have a candidate it may be MrC C Featherstone of Laurens or it may be Mr M L Smith of Camden. Then thprp is talk of ('ant John G Rich ards runLing for the place as a farmer,and some business men think they would like to see Mayor K Goodwyn JRhett of Charleston enter politics through the Governor's office. And then there is always the likelihood of one or two unannounced and unexpected candidates, f There really ought to be a candidate on the platform of a just and fair tax revision. He may not win the first shot out out of the box, but that is as certain to be a winning issue as any that has ever won in this State.?Xt'trs il; Courier. '" BANKS THAT ADVERTISE Show Greater Increase in Profits and Deposits Than Non-Advertisers. The banks in this city that advertise in newspapers show an increase in assets of 38 per cent and an increase in deposits of 85 per cent in a period of five years, says the Pittahmor Ghrnninlp-TpWranh. while the! O L i banks which do not avail themselves of the opportunity to advertise gained in the same time only 27 per cent in assets and 11 per cent in deposits. What is true in this regard of the banking business is undoubtedly true of other forms of activity. It is the man who advertises persistency and intelligently who wins the big prizes in the business world. ^ The best pills made are DeWitt's Little Early Kisere, the famous little liver pills They are small, gentle pleasant, easy to take and act promptly.

FARMERS' UNION MEETING. Dele gales to State Convenli^*^^^ ?Other Matters ot Interna The Williamsburg County I* ers' Union met in the graty room in the court house onr July 2. Through some j Standing as to the date or ouly seven local uaions weri esn ted. Several matters of interest to the e , /ll..nnD3n,l nmnnff fltom lHllJK'Id ?>CIU uiauuoovu, uiuviiQ vuvtj* being the advisability of organizing a Farmers' Uuion brokerage company, also the agitation among the local unions of planting wheat, etc. J 1) Daniel and W E Nettles were elected delegates to State Farmers' Union, which meets in Columbia on Weduesday,July ^8. The union adjourned to meet again on Friday, October 1,1001*. .1 T FR IKK sox, Sec. Lever and EHerDe. The Sumter Watchman and Southron says: "Congressman Lever aud Klk-rbe . j voted for the tariff on lumber and thereby made themselves solid with , the sawmill men of their respective i districts. It will be up to the sawmill men to stand up for Ellerbe and Lever in the campaign next! summer when they are attacked on every stump m their districts for repudiating the Denver platform! and votiug with the Republicans, lor a Republican measure." We have no doubt that the; i ruber trust will try to take care or these gentlemen, as they voted to t rke care of the trust, but if the people are properly informed, they will knock Ellerbe, Lever and the lumber trust out of the box. The fact that a trust backs a Congress- j man fop re-election shows that he1 is not a fit representative of the i people. Trusts are enemies of the people and when a Congressman so votes as to get their support, he certainly must have voted agaiust the interests of the masses of the; people, who are the consumers. ? | Orangeburg Times and Democrat. From Missouri. The following amusing incident occurred some years ago in northwestern Missouri. A gentleman went to a small primitive village for the purpose of in specting some laud wnicn ne nau owned for a number of years but had never seen. Reaching the place one evening, he secured lodging in a small hou3e. The next morning he went to the back of the house, where on a bench was a tin wash basin and near at hand a barrel of water and a dipper. After washing his hands and face he IUU1V J IU111 llio I'ULati' c* ivvwu' vi uwu and, pouring some water on it from the dipper, proceeded to brush his teeth. A small boy of the house watched him for a few moments in unfeigned astonishment, then yelled: ''Oh, mom, come quick and see the fellow sharpening hi3 teeth!"?July Lippincott \v.
