From Benjamin Franklin."When yon are sick, what you like best is to be chosen for a medicine in the first place; what experience tells you is best, to bo chosen in the second place; what reason (i. e.. Theory) says is best is to Jbe chosen in the last place. But if you can get Dr. Inclination, Dr. Experience, and Dr, Reason to hold a consultation together, they will give you the best advice that can be takes." When you have a bad cold Dr. Inclination would Recommend Chamber-1 Iain's Coagh Kemedy because it is pleasant and safe to take. Dr. Experience would recommend it because it never fails to effect a speedy and permanent cure. Dr. Reason would recommend it because it is prepared on scientific principle?, and acts on nature's plan in relieving the lunge, opening the secretions and restoring the system to a natural and healthy condition.

A reporter for The Njsws ani Herald met a prominent businee 1 ntaa on the street who is very mucl opposed to having tho passenge depot moved. He said that he i satisfied that a majority of the busines . ? x* men in town are in lavor ui uavm; the depot remain where it is am 6ummec? np his reasons ior his vie? a? follows: 1st. Though the passenger depots a Chester and Rock Hill are new am the towiis are over double a9 large a Winnsboro yet ' the accommodation are noi superior to those giyen here 2nd. The locations of the passenge | depots in. those towns are at thos : poiDts most accessible to the citizen of those towns, whereas the propose location wonldfbe more inoonvenier to nine-ten tbs of the population. 3rd. Location of the passenger depc 1 here is the one most1 convenient an 1 &?ce?sib'le to the people of the town and surrounding country. 4th. It was selec'ed when ;he road was built and has been in use 50 years. 5th. Its removal would be a great shock and injury to (he business interests of the town. f-t- int.. 1 1-1- il 1. iVn old. xuk uuieis, tue Lua.ih.ei, ?uc baok, the printing office, court bcuse and offices, and the business honses are congregated r.earit. 7ih. It would be cruel and unjust to disrupt these relations and sacrifice interests that have been considered secure for 50 years. 8th. One may estimate the differenco to a business man of transaction express, telegraph, and boarding the cars of 5 or 10 minutes aad of 30 minutes to one hour as if would be at the proposed new location. 9th. The present passenger dep^t was bnilt at great cost exoiessly for such purpose, with no thonght that it conld be ever moved unless there should be built another railroad through.the towo, when it was expected there might be a union depot. 10th. Enlarged accommodations have, in the last year or two, been given and enlarged landing room will be given if desired. 11th. The only complaint I have heard is about loafing negroes.

The business of tbe town is fostered by traveller*?drnmmers and others. If additional expense and inconvenience be imposed upon travellers their number will dimini?li. This is as certain as that the sun shines, and tbe hotels and other businesses will 6ofier. 13.

The County Executive Committee Hear the Content, and go Into Session, and then Sustain the Contest and Declare Richmond the Nominee. Pursuant to the call of County Chairman Brice, the County Democratic Executive Committee met in the court house on Thursday and heard the con* " -*-* T. J rruA esse mjuie oy jxtr. rucamuuu. iu? contestant Richmond was represented by Messrs. J. E. MeDonald and W? D. Douglass, and the contestee Moore by Messrs. Jas. G McUants and E ?. Ragsdale. The notice and grounds of contest and protest of Mr. Richmond hag already been published. His attorneys, in their arguments, claimed that Richmond was entitled to 6 votes and Moore 20 at the BeafCreek box, instead of S fotes for Richmond and 22 for Moore, as appeared by the tabulated statement made bv the Executive Committee on September 15th. They relied upon the following facts to sustain their contention: The tally sheet as made by the managers at Beai Creek showed that 26 ballots had beer cast for every county office, except foi Judge of Probate, for which offict only 25 votes were cast, this being accounted for by one of the ballots having the names of both candidates foi .Tndo-eof Probate scratched; that the *9 ? * tally sheet showed that Moore receivec 20 votes and Richmond 6; (hat the certificate, sworn to by the managers showed that 26 ballots had been casi and that this certificate farther showec thac the vote for County Auditor wai 20 for Moore and 6 for Richmond That the poll list showed that 2G pertons had voted. They Iprodnced th< ? ^ 4"U* affidavit 01 u. a. neioa, uuc ui im managers, to the effect that the voti was counted and recounted before thi certificate as to the result wa3 made and on each and every count the resul was the same. They also produce* the affidavit of H. O. Duke that th ballots were counted publicly and th result declared as contended by th ; contestant. They further producei , the affidavits of six men, whose name appeared on the poll list, stating tha ' they had voted for Richmond. Th attorneys contended that the poll lisl tally sheet, and sworn statement o the managers made at the time of tb count by them, especially when cjn 1 firmed by the affidavits mentionec | were the best evidence of the true vot : at Bear Creek. All the boxes wer , opened by the Executive Committee i ' the morning at its meeting on Septen ! ber 15th, and, after a recess of on hobr for dinner, the- court house doo being: unlocked during the recess, th ballots wrt < counted. It was the found that only 25 ballots were in tt Bear Creek box, and that of tbes , Richmond had only 3 and Moore 2' AL -*1- ? ~ cfAA/1 fA!'

GERSTLE & CO., PROPS., The contestant further contended | that he was entitled to SO instead of S<S j votes at jTcasterville. Tl*e managers | iad reported 90 for him, which after j deducting J. B. Stevenson's vote, j shonld have left him 89. The argu- L ment cp thid point was somewhat the J ] same as to Bear Creek. !; The attorneys for the c.n'csteejj Moore argued, as set forth in their j: answer, that the ballots were the besT evidence, and that the committee, hav- j ing countcd tbem, had fully passed ! upon the correctness of the official count as made by the committee, and that Moore and Richmond having been j summoned to be present the latter waived his right to make a protest afterwards. They contended that the committee was now without authority j or power to hear and determine the protest, "on the gronDd tint there is no rule or regulation of the 'Demo- | crotic party of this State, which allows i a protest irom the decisiou of a pro- ' test to the County Executive Commit- ' tee." The substance ot the argument], on this point was that Richmond by being present at the last meeting of the cammittce had waived his right to;' make a contest. They also vigorously argued that the affidavits as to how a man h*d voted ought not to be considered as it amounted to holding an election by affidavits. They produced e dinTrino- fhot l?co mpmbers , of Monticello clab had been allowed ! to vote at Jackson's Creek ciub when their names bad not been enrolled on . the latter club list, and that these votes were couuted by the managers for UiV/UUiVUU? . The committee, at ihe conclusion of ( , the argument of the attorney?, took a ; , recess of one hour for dinner. After ' . dinner they went into secret session, I and, after considering the case, the . contest of Richmond wts sustained ; and he was accordingly declared the , nominse of the Democratic party for , Auditor. The total vote for Richmond as first , officially announced was C41, and . Moore 644. The contest being sus. tained Richmond is now credited with , 641 increased by 4 less 2 at Jackson's | Creek, making bis total 643; wane Moore loses 6 votes, making his total i 638.
