Matters of Interest.
Mr. Editor: This hot weather
is gettiug next to people but
your scribe will attempt to send
you a little news. He will ask
your readers not to expect much
for 'tis too hot to write much.
Many Columbiaus have gone
off for the summer or for part
of the "heated term", but there
are still many in the city. The
cars, places of amusements, ice
cream parlors and the like^are
well patronized. The men are
talking politics. As to politics
there are many varied opinions.
Just who will be Junior Senator
Iis a matter of doubt. No two
men can agree ou who will be
in second race or who will
out in the second ballot. The
gubernatorial race is also causing
comment. Few doubt that
Gov. Ansel will be reelected,
^ut there are differences of opinion
about the majority which
"Brother Crafford-' will get.
Then the Blease-Ansel, Bleasenewspaper,
Blease-preacber and
other episodes are causing interest
and comment. Thew other
state officers are causing more or
less speculations. The- county
campaign .is also creating'interest.
Possibly, the widest discussed
part of this campaign is
the announcement of John T.
Duncan for Clerk of Court.
A thief entered a home sometime
before daylight Saturday
morning in Shandon, one of Columbians
beautiful suburbs. The
bouse was 'occupied by S. M.
Kennedy, a motorman ? of the
street car company. When Mr.
Keunedy went out on the front
piazza next morning be found
an axe lying there. The gentleman
was very glad that^he
did not awake for the thief evidently
took the axe to use with
deadly intent. His pants were
also out on the piazza and had
been rifled,

robberies occurred, ope at the
home of Mr. F. H.t-Gilmore at
1206 lieic^t Street. Mrt QiU
more also found his pants on
the piazza and that they had
been rifled. A watoh was also
takep from his vest pocket. He
was relieved of #8.10. There
were tracks which showed that
the thief was barefooted and |
wore about nO. 11 shoe.
On the same night another
robbery committed, at Mrs,
Walker's, No. 2404 Gerviaa St.,
who lives next to. Mr! Gilmore.
He look some clothing into the
yard. He lett a clue and Col
umDia's alert and efficient police
will no doubt soon have
him apprehended or there will
be hard work at any rate to get
the ugent".

Bear In mind, please that Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription Is not a secret or
patent medicine, against which the most
intelligent people are quite naturally
averse, becaU9e of the uncertainty as to
their composition and harmless character,
but Is a medicine or known composition,
a full list of all Its ingredients being
printed, 1a plain English, on every bottlewrapper.
An examination of this list of
Ingredients will disclose the fact that it Is
non-alcoholic In its composition, chemically
pure, triple-refined glycerine taking
the place of the commonly used alcohol,
in lis make-up. In tliis connection it
may not be out of place to state that the
I "Favorite Prescription" of Dr. Pierce is
?ie oqly medicine put up for the cure of I
woman s peculiar weaknesses and ailments,
ana sold through druggists, all
the ingredients of which have the unanimous
endorsement of all the leading
medical writers and teachers of all -the
several schools of practice, and that* too
as remedies for the ailments for which
