I STRONG PLEA To the Voters of Williamsburg County. I take this method of expressing my heartfelt thanks to one and all for the handsome vote I received on August 29. I shall ever feel grateful to the good peoDle of the county for their support, and now that I have been favored with a sufficient vote to Dlace me in the second race, I wish to make myself plain to every man in the county. First, 1 am a young man with a future before me. Second, I am a poor man. Not that I am pleading poverty in order to be elected, but I work every day for a living. Now, I don't want to be misunderstood in this matter. I have claimed one advantage over my opponents without any reflection whatever upon any of them: That is, I live in the county seat, having telephone connection with all parts of the county, affording day and night service, so that I can be reached from any Rection within half an hour. 1 still claim this advantage over my opponent now. Yet without reflection in any way, 1 do think my age,location and all should count in my favor. My opponent,as he stated, is 74 years of age, and no man in the world has a higher respect for the aged than I have, and be it far from me to even attempt to cast a reflection upon any man's age. I simply want the good people of the countv to consider this l - .. -e matter ior tne Dest interest ui me county when you go to the polls to cast your ballot. My former home polls. Johnsonville, Hemingway, Poplar Hill and Muddy Creek.and Kingstree, my present home, stood by me in the first primary and I feel sure will stand by me in the second. I consider this the best advertisement that a man can put before the people: That he stands well at home. Now, fellow citizens, on the 12th of September (next Tuesday) you are going to vote for one of two men to fill the Coroner's office for four years, and all I ask of you is to consider the difference between the two. Figure the location and their age, also which one would be the easiest to get when needed.and which one would most likely be able to go under any and all circumstances when called upon. When you have dpne this, vote for the best man and I will be satisfied. Yours for faithful service, adv T J Spring. Card of Thanks. I take this method of communicating to my many friends throughout the county my sincere appreciation of the handsome vote given me by them in the primary election just past. You have honored me with the n# florlr ftf fYmrt nf Vftiir fnnn V111VC V/i ft >k V* v/w V w ty for some time, and I can heartily assure you that I appreciate your kindness, and I trust that I may so conduct the affairs of the office as to merit the continuance of your support. I am a public servant,and it is always a pleasure fon me to perform any act of service for the good and welfare of the citizenship of Williamsburg county. I am at your service at all times, adv H 0 Britton. A Card from Nr. McDonald. I wish to thank each and every one of my friends for the handsome support they gave me in the recent primary election, re-electing me to the office of Magistrate. I feel very grateful to them and shall always remember them kindly. To those who did not vote for me, will say that I have no ill feeling towards them at all, conceding that it is a privilege they have to vote for whom they see fit, and I will in the future endeavor to render such services pertaining to the office of Magistrate as will meet with the approval of all. I am very obediently yours, S G McDonald. Lanes, September 4. adv Card from Sheriff Graham. To the Voters of Williamsburg County: You will please allow methispriviWf of thankinc vou.one and all.for the handsome support you gave me in the recent primary and hope for your continued support in the coming election. To my opponents and those who did not support me I have no ill feeling,as I have aiways insisted that it is the highe-t privilege a voter has to vote for his choice. I hope to receive a handsome support in the approaching primary and, if elected, pledge myself to be,as I have always tried to be, a servant of the people. Yours respectively, adv George J Graham.

When a laxative is needed take Chamtierlain's Tablets. They not only move the bowels hut improve the appetite and strengthen the dig^tioii. Obtainable everywhere. Card from Hob. S. A. Graham. To the Democratic Voters of Williamsburg County: Please accept my sincere and heartfelt thanks for the splendid vote which you gave me in last Tuesday's primary. This renewed expression of your confidence is highly appreciated, and words fail to express my thanks. I shall do my utmost to merit the confidence which you have shown me and try to see to it that the honor of "old Williamsburg'' shall not be tarnished by any act of mine. Again thanking you, I am, Very truly yours, S A Graham. Heinemann, September 2. adv k Card from H. J. Brown. To the Voters of Williamsburg County: A report to the effect that I am worth in cash and otherwise twenty thousand dollars or more is false. I am a poor man and need the office to which I aspire to help me in my old age. I shall thank my friends for whatever they can do for me next Tuesday. I thank you for what you did for me in the first primary. H J Brown. Cades, September 4. adv Card from Mr. Brockloton. I take this method of extending my profound thanks to the good people of Williamsburg who stood by me and gave me their support in my candidacy for Sheriff in the recent primary election. I deeply appreciate their support and their efforts in my behalf, and the same shall always be a source of gratification to me. Very truly yours, adv-p W E Brockinton. Uses for Grapes.

Will Arthur Train's Dreams Come True as Jules Verne's Did? In the October Cosmopolitan Magazine chat is now on sale appears the first instalment of a story, "The Moon Maker" by Arthur Train,!that will take you right back to "The Man Who Rocked the . Earth", and will recall most forcibly to your mind Jules Verne and H G Wells. Mr Train has written this story in collaboration with Prof Robert Williams Wood of Johns Hopkins university, as he did "The Man Who Rocked the Earth". Train's dreams may seem extravagant to you as you read them in n iu? mi cosmopolitan, men, a^aui, pcmnpo they will come true, as most of Verne's did?who knows? Certainly it will start an interesting line of speculation in the mind of the imaginative reader. The merchant who advocates trading at home should set the example by having his printing done at home?which a few of them forget to remember. RELIEF TANLAG GAVE CAUSES MOTHER WONDER. Mrs. Knowles Thinks Tanlac 6ave Daughter Almost Unbelievable Aid. Was Treated for Pellagra. ! She Says Mrs. Benton Ate only a Few Bites during a Day?Her Condition Was Very Bad indeed. I do not see how any medicine could do as much for anyone as Tan lac did for my daughter," said Mrs L Knowles, of 118 Sumter St, Columbia,in a statement giving high endorsement to T a n 1 a c . Mrs Knowles referred to the case of Mrs Bessie Benton, who lives at her mother's home. The relief Tanlac gave Mrs Benton was remarkable, Mrs Knowles said. Her statement, describing Mrs Benton's ailments and the results Tanlac gave her, follows: "My daughter,Mrs Bessie Benton, suffered from what was said to be a severe case of pellagra. She was treated by specialists here, and had taken pellagra treatments, but she got no better while doing so. She did not eat anything at all, and I do not see how she lived, she ate so little. Her stomach was in very bad shape, and many a day she did noi eat over three or four bites during the day. "She was run dewn terribly, had no strength and felt badly all the time. Her head hurt her all the time, and she was never easy, her head ached so much. Her nerves were so bad that you could see her shake. "We read about Tanlac, and she decided to buy it. And Tanlac did her a wonderful amount of good. She has more life and energy now than she has had in years. She has a good appetite,eats a great deal and seems to have no trouble with her otAmonli QVm sovc abo dr?p? rmt, tirp kjllv CUJ O UilV V?VVW v ?.? w as quickly now, and she works all day, but before she took Tanlac she was so weak she could hardly do anything. 'She has gained some weight and looks a great deal better. She does not complain of headaches lately. There is no medicine like Tanlac, she thinks. "I am glad to recommend Tanlac and so is she, for she told me she intended writing a testimonial and sending it to the State agent. I know it is fine, for I know what it did for Bessie. I do not see how any medicine could do so much for anyone as Tanlac did for her."

Thoro 8?w? to Bo Link Botwoon Mock Morrimont and Modnooo. It ifl related that a famous clown named Seal, who had made thou| sands laugh, became a victim of settled melancholia. When he consulted a physician the latter, not knowing the identity of his patient, told him: "Go and see Seal. He'll cheer you up and give you a good laugh." The patient looked at him in amazement and in the saddest of voices said: "But, doctor, I am Seal! Can nothing be done for me ?' We are reminded of this incident by a somewhat similar case in New York, where a famous circus jester, after a long and successful career, succumbed to melancholia and committed suicide by asphyxiation. Grimaldi and George Fox, two of the most noted clowns of their day, were victims of morbidness. We might extend the list by mentioning others who reacted from the long strain of enforced merriment and became gloomy and despondent toward the close of life. Their experience goes to prove that counterfeited mirth, however successful for a time, has its fixed limits. These Yoricks, whose lives had been spent for exciting mirth in others, reached a point where they could no longer keep up the counterfeit presentment. Can it be true, then, as has frequently been alleged, that mock merriment becomes to those who make it a life vocation the most hateful of professions? Do they revolt against a il .1 1 J 1_1 - calling max Decoines unenuur&uie r Does the jaded clown grow sick of his calling at last ? Here is a fine problem for the psychologist, to tell us why mirth made to order retnrns to vex the soul of the maker. We can picture in imagination the gloomy thoughts of the professional joker who wrestles with the evasive quip, which is designed to excite mental glimpse of the agony that accompanies the production of the average "funny column" of the newspapers. But why, of all men in the world, ' should the merry clown, the fellow ; all spangles and bubbling over with < seemingly irresistible humor, drift into morbid mania, while light hearted, happy go lucky, simple 1 souls, but making no pretension to art, live on to old age, full of good humored frolic and jocularity to the last ??Christian Herald. Thirties. In the fourteenth century thistles were used as food for cattle, and they were considered as a crop. In the old priory of Lindisfarne there is a note in the archives of 1344-5 of thick leather gloves required for the harvesters 01 the thikle crop. It is curious that, though the thistle is the emblem of Scotland, the Scot never seems able to say which . kind of thistle is the true national emblem. It is said that a thistle j whif?h rpdpmhlpq Card Tins marianus was figured on the old ooinage of the day of James V., who was first to put thistles on the Scotch money. The horn spoons sold in Edinburgh sometimes have little silver thistles on the end of the handles. Strawberry Fumee. The steamships bringing fruit from Brittany to Plymouth refuse to carry passengers when conveying a cargo of strawberries because of the intoxicating fumes given off by the berries when packed in bulk. Even the seamen have orders to keep on deck as much as possible. As strawberries, even tons of them, give off no very pungent smell, the theory has been advanced that the intoxicating effect of a cargo of the fruit is due to the fermentation of the sugar in the berries.?London Chronicle. Laigb Hunt's Grave. In the serene silence of Kensal I Green cemetery, London, Leigh ? Hunt's body lies at rest. A visitor, . reaching over the iron fence to part the fragrant shrubs that shadow the tombstone, reads these words: "Write me as one who loves bis fellow men." It was his own cheerful philosophy of life that Leigh Hunt expressed through the lips of tiis Abou Ben Adhem, and the sentiment is very touching come upon in this way. H?'? Throuah. 'Did you ever write any poetry ?" "Only once." "Then your poem was rejected. I presume?" "Yes, and so was I.

Catron, Ky.?In an interesting letter from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock , writes as follows: "I suffered for four years, with womanly troubles, and during this time, I could only sit up for a little while, and could not walk anvwhere at1 all. At times, I would have 9evere pains in my left side. The doctor was called hi, and his treatment relieved me for a while, but I was soon confined to my bed again. After that, nothing seemed to do me any good. Wiad gotten so weak I could not stand, and 1 gave up in despair. At last, my husband got me a bottle of Cardui, the woman's tonic, and 1 commenced taking it From the very first dose, I could tell it was helping me. I can now walk two miles without its tiring me, and anrdoing my work." If you are all run down from womanly troubles, don't give up in despair. Try Cardui, the woman's tonic.
