WHERE ARE \TX GOING?
It is early for candidates for Goveruor
to come ou% but they are now
being: announced. Governor Ellerbe
has already 6aid (hat he would be in
tbe rise. Siate Senator Aicher, of
Spartanburg, li%s published an announcement
saying that he would be
in tbe race. We do not know Mr.
Archer, but the tone of his announcement
is not such to commend him to a
stranger. It does not sound right. "In
order to allay doubts and Jet the opposition
fix their plans and trot out
their. her?e or horses, I take this
method of declaring myself a candidate
for Governor," says Mr. Archer.
The pa6t in the history of the Stste
may be despised by some people, but
if is something belonging to rrcent
pe&rauue*. iu mi. mwuu
there is not even the hint of a pretext
that the office wants him.
Where are we going, anyway ?
We regret that Mr. Ragsdale's bill
to have judges elected by the people
was not considered more favora bly by
- tbe General Assembly. It is along the
line of the tendency to bring the
people closer to their public officers.
Th? chief objection against the bill is
th-t it brings the indrciarv into Dsli
tic3, audit is said that representatives
ar* more apt tc make a wiser selection
thau the people. We do not thiuk
tba? there i3 a great deal in this objection.
The people elect the representatives,
and if they sercise their
, ffreges wisely in the election of rep?.jsentatives,
why shonld the people
^oi do the same !biag in electing
judges? Why shonld the people's
choice be made by proxy? Oar observation
is that the p?ople will always
correct a wrong quicker thun
representatives, and we are willing to
trnsi them. Judges in New :York are
elecied by popular vote, and the plan
has proven satisfactory there.
The House of Representatives refused
to repeal the metropolitan police
'law. We regret very much to see
this, but there is some comfort in the
fact that the vote was pretty close and
that a great many absentees would
have voted in favor of the repeal had
they been present. We believe that a
majority of the people in the State
favor the repeal. The people of South
Carolina are naturally iiDeriy-ioviDg,
and the principle of local self-government
is very dear to them. This law,
we believe, was passed by the radicals,
In those day.?, the reason for the
law was that in those municipalities
where they could not control the elections,
the radical administration conld
put radicals over the towns aud cities.
It is a relic of those evil days, and
ought to be repealed.
Although we think tbat Fairfield
onght tc have the Judgeship of the
sixth circuit, we are pleased to be able
to say that Mr. Gage will make an
acceptable Judge. Re has impressed
himself very favorable as a member
of the General Assembly. He has
been conservative in his views, and is
a man of the highest integrity, conscientious
and a hard, close student.
We congratulate the circuit upon his
election.
Mk. Mower is an able lawyer, and
wrtni.l i"?to on ohlo .Tr>r?o-? hnt. nn
"vttlvi " wv4v w,%m5vj " \
are glad that he was beaten by Chief
Justice Mclver. Mr. Mow?r must
havo known that he could ?ot be
electcd, and we are surprised that he
allowed himself to be used as an instrument
for those opposed to Chief
Justice Mclver. It is all the more ;
surprising becauao others had been
approached be tore Mr. Mower.
^
If a lawyer has judicial aspiration#,
he must become a member of the
General Assembly. This body elects
the judges, and a member of that body
ha3 a dccided advantage. The members
ci thi General Assembly have a
feeling of comradeship for each other,
and it is hard for them to vote against
a fellow-member. This is one reason
why the people ought to elect the
judges.
Tiie General Assembly should pass
the bill locking to the improvement of
oar public road?. It might be improved
in some respects, but we are
glad to see that the agitation of good
roads is '^earing some fruits.
Ev~_- The Discovery of the Day.
Aug. J. Bogel, the leading druggist
of Shreveport, La., says: "Dr. King's
New Discovery is the only thing that
enres my cough, and it is the best seller
I have." J. ~F. Campbell, merchant
of taflbra, Ariz ,writes: "Dr.King's
New Discovery is all that is claimed
for it; it never fails, and is a sure
cure for Consumption, Coughs and (
Colds. I cannot say enough for its
merits. Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption, Coughs and Colds
is not an experiment. It bas been i
tried for a quarter of a centary, and ]
to-day stands at the head. It never
disappoints. Free trial bottles at Mc
Master Co.'s drugstore. 6 |(

We have had a smallpox scare iu
this community but fortunately it
proved to be only a case of Nettlerasb.
A little granddaughter of Mrs. M. A.
Chappell accompanied her grandmother
home from Honea Path a short
time since, and she is the patient in
question. The slightest eruption now
gives alarm when this dread disease
seems to lurk iu every nook and
corner. We daily hear of new cases
in different portions of our state, but
of course there are many false alarms.
Some of cur people are being vaccinated.

E. J. Yarborough was burned not
long f-ince. It bad been packed under
a shed built for the purpose near
Broad River, and not far from the
railroad. Sparks from engine are
supposed to have ignited it, and ihe
railroad will be >.eld responsible.
As the weatber hasbeeu so favorable
the farmers have gone earnestly to
work. There has been a good deal of
ploughing and oat sowing done. No
fertilizers hauled yet
It is not well for man to fare sumptuously
every day, so having in a
measure exhausted our supply of fat
turkeys, fresh meat and cakes, we
have settled down to a steady January
diet of peas, turnips and potatoes,
with an occasional tart. Dining* were
of frequent occu-ence while the good
things lasted. One given by Mrs.
C. B. Douglass to which quite a number
of guests were biddeu was specially
enjoyable.
All of onr students from the various
colleges have returned except Miss
Essie Holley, who is waiting until the
smallpox scare is over before returning
to Dae West. Mr. Josie Wallace will
leave soon for Clemson,
Rev. E. A. McDowell and wife are

The usual quietude of our community
has been broken by lhe ringing of
"wedding bells." Mr. Willie D. Tidwell,
one of Longtown'e most popu.ar
young men, was united in marriage to
Miss Evelyn Pric?, of Columbia, on
Wednesday, 19th inst. The ceremony
took place at the resideuce at the
bride's uncle at 4 o'clock p. m. Quite
a number of the friends of the con
tracfiog parties witnessed the ceremony,
wnich was performed by Rev.
Mr. Blackburn in a most solemn and
impressive manner. Immediately after
the ceremony lnnch?on w^s served,
after which the happy yoang coupie
boarded the north-bound train for the
home of the groom in Longtown. An
elegant reception was tendered them at
the residetce of the groom's parents,

B. R. Scott's. Mine host and ho&tess
with characteristic hospitality did
everything possible for ihe enjoyment
of their young friends, whose names,
by the way, are legion.
It was with feelings of profound
sorrow that we heard of the death of
Fairfield's distinguished son, General
John Bratton. Fast, fast are tbose
heroes falling who battled fo.r fr?edom
and the right.
"Their bones ar3 dmt,
Their go^d swords rust,
Their souls are *ith the saints we
trust."
Hagood and Bratton, two of C'aroIsna's
most noble-hearted and chivalrous
sons, have now been taken to
their final reward. Tboogh they have
passed away from our >:ght, they shali
not be forgotten, for by their many
deeds of heroism they have stamped
their names in the he*rt3of their countrymen,
and that so deeply that time
itself will fail to erase them. We
with the rest of our fellow-citizens
mourn the loss of this distinguished
son of Carolina, feeling loth to give
him up, yet withal bowing to the
supreme dictates of fiirn who doeth
all things well. 1 k. h. d.

Now that Mark A. Hanna has been
elected to the United States Senate it
sets the people to thinking anew of the
condition of our country. I have just
read your editorial comment on Hanna's
election. I fully coucur with you
in your sentiments concerning Hanna's
policy.
President McEinley i? evidently a man
of ability,
And perhaps displays a good deal of
affability;
In dealing with the money question,
He will settle it to the capitalist's
satisfaction.
He will take them to his heart,
And give them a Iriss with which to
depart,
And say. go thou in peace,
William McKinley will take care of
the fleece.
Johu Sherman is now in his declining
years,
If yon talk for the poor man 'twill
bring John to tears;
John is a natural politician and a
wiley old coon,
And be changes with ever/ new moon.
Mark A. Hanna is a plum dandy,
Because with the boodle he's so handy;
He'll stand around and smile,
And say, boys, I'll get you a job after
awhile.
There goes the brilliant Henry M
Teller,
He too is a politician, bat a mighty
fine fellow;
He's going to leave the Republican
party
Because they will not establish a
parity.
He Dry Cabot Lodge i3 learned and
brilliant,
But he'd neither aggressive nor defiant;
Bat when he wields thst facil pen,
He takes his staiid for the wealthy
men.
All efFotts to defeat J02 Blackburn
aie in vain,
And now he will be sent to the Senate
again;
He always takes his elsnd for the
right,
And the .Republicans will haw a brilliant
man to fight.
Daniel W. Voorhees has gone to his
rtst,
As an orator be ranked with the best;
While epeakicg he was just in his
tf'ory,
And soared high in the reaims of
oratory.
Ben Tillinan is always in the swing,
And he.'s got a rock ready to fling;
If in debate they give him & whack,
He will strike fhem right back.
M. C- Butler is now practicing law.
He's as haudeome a man as I ever saw;
He's brilliant and eloque^, bold and
aggressive,
And his writing and speeches are always
impressive.
Hampton is uow old and feeble,
But he still likes the dear people;
Hampton was a fine tactician,
Bat he's no wire-pulling politician.
Congressman Wilson is young aid
bright,
And he's always in the thickest of the
fight;
For the rights of the people he will
take a stand,
And make an effort to redeem this
blessed land.
John J. Hemphill ha? been retired,
But he is yet very much admired;
His speeches always bad;, a good effect
On account of his high order of intellect.
That briliiant leader, Tboma3 Bracket
Reed,'
Is the fastest of the Republican steed;
With his wit and invective sarcasm,
He rashes like water over a charm.

LOVE OF A HOMEA
Marked Trait in the Character of Gen.
Bratton.
Greenville Mountaineer.
Gen. John Bratton passed out of
sight in a calm and quiet manner that
fitly illustrated his life. He wa^ always
thoughtful, dispassiona'e and
collected, never flurried and worried
even in the most tumultuous hours of
conflict, and always the most unswerving
adherent of duty. We cai recall
no instance, amid the hurling round
of shot and shall or in the exultant
moment of a victorious charge, when
h<? was not eelf-poised and did not impress
others with his coolness under
the mostjexciting surroundings. For
such a leader men always gave the
highest evidences of respect and confidence
when the battle raged or danger
was imminent. They followed him
implicitly because they kuew lie was
always coilectcd and familiar with the
environments ot the situation.
S >, too, in time3 of peace Gen. Bratton
never shirked a duty that his fellow-citizens
asked him to perform,
and while he was ready for service he
?vas not clamorous to be recognized
a/1 TT??fV*k Af r?/*v I Trv>a
aLiu lCftaiuw hicu vmvv. ai ?iv uuju
in his life did be evince greater unselfishness
than when he made the
campaign for Governor in the tempestuous
days of 1890, at the instance
of f-iends in whom he trusted, and.
with no hope whatever of tuccess.
He was resolute and determined, for
he was impressed with a conviction of
duty as presented bj others, and he
went to defeat without dishonor with
the placid assurance of an approving
conscience. He was wise in council,
resoltue in action, courteous in conduct,
deferential to others and f-elfrespecting
at all times. His practical,
sagacious intellect grasped the det*iis
whether on gory field or fruitful farm,
and bis superior powers as a man were
exerted for the benefit of others, who
were his neighbors aod friends, to
whom he was devotedly attach ;d.
His love of home and its surronndiugs
was a marked trait in his character,
o?iH if ic nn ivntiHpr lhftf-. lhf> r.irfr&na
of Fairfield County paid universal
homage at his bier, as they had trusted
him in like manner through a long and
useful life among them. Scattered in
every portion of South Carolina are
the men whom ha commanded in ihe
closing days of the Confederacy, and
every one of them feels that there was
no truer, worthier, ov manlier representative
among the valiant ho;ts that
rendered immortal the name ol ihe
Confederate soldier.
ONE BY C>*E.
Green isood Index.
One by one the Silent Reaper gathers
to their last roll call the men who wore
the grey and followed the fortunes of
the stars and bars. Within a tn-elvcmor.th
General J.;hn D. Kennedy,
Samuel McGowat:, Johnson Ila^ood
and John Bratlon hsve "gone on that
bourne from whence no trivelcr returns"
and rest with Lee and Jackson
"under the shade of the trees," borne
to their resting places by their few
surviving comrades, followed by th2
tearful "well done"' of their ieliow
men.
The manly example of '.he life of
this la*' y oil m*n w in r row no moie
might well be taken as a iesson by the
generation which has come since he

country's cail Enlisting as a privat#
soldier in ihe Confederate army, he
first saw service on the coast defences
around Charleston. When he went to
Virginia he was elecicd colonel of hi*

j?e*i?;ral on a> teii-grhm sem oy
Genial Leo frcia the baiuefis'.d. His
promptness and military ability won
lot bim the affectionate aoubriqaet of
"Old Reliable."
He was in the froht of the fight1
with Hampton in '76 Working for thg
redemption of his State. lu 1883 he
was elected to Congress from his district.
Though always prompt at duty's
call to fill snch positions in public life,
to which his people called him, he
nrpfftrred the retirement of home
where he could be surrounded by those
whom he loved most in life.
A noble, generous soul has gone the
way of all the world. We have never
seen a truer exemplar, than Gen. John
Brattou, of the beautiful sentiipent,
"The bravest are the tenderest,
The loviDg are the daring."

Bladder Troubles.
The bladder was created for one i
purpose, namely, a receptacle for the
urine, and as such it i9 not liable to
any form of disease except by one of
two ways. The first wai is from imperfect
action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local
treatment of other diseases.
SAMPLE SENT FBEE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidnc-vs is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. It is comforting to know I
that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root fulfills
every wish in quickly curing bladder
aud urinary troubles. It corrects inability
to hold urine and scalding or
stinging pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine
j or beer, and overcomes that uupleasant
necessity of being compelled to
get up many times during the night to
urinate. The uiild and extraordinary
effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. Ic stands the highest
for itb wonderful cures- of the most
dista easing cases. If you need a medicine
you should nave the best. At
druggiista fifty cents and one dollar.
