As evidence of its superi Prize (highest possible aware HI State Candidates at Abbeville. f Tbe candidates for State offices spoke at Abbeville, Friday, Aug. 7tb. A very large crowd bad gathered to bear and to select * tbelr candidates. Tbe speaking was from i tbe platform erected In tbe beautiful little I grove at tbe rear of tbe Court House. ? MR. 8. R. MELLICHAMP. 1 I Mr. Stiles R. Melllcbamp, for Superlnteu- [ dent of Bducatlon, was the first candidate e Introduced. He was a Confederate soldier and did his duty well. ? He congratulated tbe County on its fine ~ putrtlo schools and showed wherein be could c render valuable servloe to,t?e cause of edo-j^ VAIiVili ^ / MR. J. E. -SWEAEKNGEN. 1 Mr. Swearengen, candidate for Supt. of education made a good impression by bis well worded and thoughtful speech, which was entirely free ol personal I tea. Although be Is n blind be won the hlgbtest honors In bis olase In S. C. College. He is a nephew of Senator , Tillman and resembles Senator Tillman very much, viewed from bis bllDd side. ( MR. E. C. ELMORE. J The netct candidate for Supt. of Education ! was;Mr. E. C. Elmore. HeBpoke nicely of ; Abbeville as a place aDd of her great men. He {referred ;to his work In the! school*, as , teacher ;in Spartanburg and tJnlon Counties, and as Superintendent ofEdudatlon of Spartanburg, In which position be Is now labor- . ing. MR. A. W. JONES, ? I Mr. A. W. Jones, candidate for Comptroller General spoke next. He made a splendid ' talk on taxation, and his efforts to equalize the burden. < Mr. Jones was at home, where he always ( receives a warm welcome and a splendid vote. His opponent Mr Brown was not pres ent. MK. J. A. SUMMERSET. 1 Mr. Summerset, made a favorable impression by bis good address and by tbe famllar- ] ity wltb which he baDdled the subject of railroad rates. He! said be had been In active m. railroad work for 27 years, starting on the i track when a boy a* 318 per montb, and rls- t log to the seoond position on tbe road wh n he resigned and severed bis conneotlon with ] railroads, two years ago. He said thai rates were higher ol several staple articles In ] South Carolina than In North Carolina. CANSLER OF TIRZA. Mr. James Cansler came next. He referred to the fact that his majority has grown steadily for the past three years until he received ZW voles in the last primary al? | most enough to put blm in tbe second race though there were live candidates In the field. With his natural increaic he would land this time. Mr. Cansler Is an Interesting talker. There Is always wisdom beneath his humorous references, and It Is J nst possible that the , people will at last take him seriously. MR. B. L, CAUGHMAN. Mr. Banks L. Caughman spoke aext. It ?lll be recalled that be was elected to this office, largely on itbe strength of his authorship of the bill dividing white people and negroes in railroad coaches. He said that be had been criticised for not reducing rates, when in many instances the rates were interstate and consequently beyond the control of the commission as these rates were made by the U. S. Commission. It was easy for any man to tell how an office should be conducted and even to pick Haw in the conduct of another, but there were no perfect men ruuniDg HgtuuBi ijilu. uceuiicu iuni a letter was being circulated by bis opponents, wblch was false and slanderous. Mr. Caugbman got tbe usual lambasting tbat tbe wouldbe's give tbe Ins. J1K. V. C. FISHBUHN. Mr. Flshburn, said that he bed spent most ol bis life In Camden but for lbe pant 16 years be bad lived ;in Colleton. He bad always answered tbe |cali of bis state. Even wbeu work of tbe KuKlux was necessary to do under cover wbat could not be done openly for tbs welfare ol the State, he had given a willing band. He exhibited a letter from certain citizens la Ithe lower part of tbe State, protesting BgHlUBL tonmu ilOBUV IOLM, [>uu OfcCUOI. I.UC reelection ol Mr. Caughman. He placcd the / original in the bands of several of the aud* lnence to Bbow that thetjopy which was being circulated was genuineHis bearing is good and his manner fearless. It will be surprising if be and Mr. Caughman do not come to dIowb if the campaign warms from now on. MB. J. C. BOYD. Mr. J. C. Boyd, candidate for Adjutant and Inspector General spoke next. He stood on bis record as an officer and bis life long military service. General Boyd Is well known here and he has hosts of friends in the state. mr. henry t. thomson. Mr. Henry T. Thomson, candidate for Adjutant and Inspector General spoke next. He referred to the faot that bis county was the first to volunteer a company for service In the Spanish war. He had gone with this <vimnnnv and hml held the olace of cantuin in tbe service. He was afterwards commissioned an officer la tbe (J. S. army. He had had years ot experience In military training. He could see no reason why tbe Incumbent should bold tor two terms. Both tbe candidates for Adjutant General have 1 every appearance of well trained military men. ?o? New Infirmary.

Scores of Abbeville Citizens Have Learned It. If you suffer from backache, 1 - - ?~ U mere is omy one way iu cure u. The perfect way is to cure the kidneys. A bad back means sick kidneys. Neglect it, urinary troubles follow. Doan's Kidney Pills are made for kidneys only. J. H. Nash, 225 Main Street, Laurens, 8. C., says : "I have given my name in recommending Doan's Kidney Pills in the hope that a few of the many who suffer from kidney trouble may be benefitted thereby. My kidneys were irregular in action and caused considerable pain about the small of my back. I was told that Doan's Kidnev Pilla were eood for such troubles and deciding to try tbem, 1 bought a box. I had taken them but a short time when the pain disappeared and my kidneys were strengthened. From the results I received I can say that Doan's Kidney Pills are a most reliable kidney remedy."
