The Stato campaign meeting at Sdgefield on last Wednesday es ablished tha fact, if it needed any istabliehing, that Tillman has lost lone of his fore?-, fire, or bitter less of speech. Since hie election o the United States Senate he has leveloped wonderfully in the ?ogeucy and coherence of his ut erances, both spoken ahd writteu, iud especially ?vritten. He uses vords of butene or two syllables, rood old Anglo Saxon, aud if on .are occasious he brings in a Latin lerlvarive, it is, and of right ought ;o be, a "sockdolager." Frank Gary Dy his manner and personal ap Dearance made the best impression. El?ward Patterson that be is log ically the man for tbose who fa jor the dispensary to support. Mc Vlahan had moro of candor, ein jerity, and patriotism in his jpeech than any delivered throughout the day. Capt Rouc-e, 3andidate fo," Adj't and Ins.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessen-, ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are oat of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that lt is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kid- j neys. If the child urin ates too often, If the urine scalds the flesh or If, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, lt is yet afflicted v/ith bed-wetting, depend upon lt. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as -.ell as men are made mis-1 erable with Kidney and bladder trouble, and both need thc; same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of I Swamp-Root is soon realized.

T3STATE SHOES, "PROHIBITION IN '" Mr. Editor: lu a recent?: the; Advertiser there'appea article with the above c copied from the Charleston and Courier, signed "Nemo, writer and others regard p lion as an utter failure, i fruitful Bourco of-'.'perjury, and hypocrisy," and as hav foundation in common sem no support in Bible tet With these positions ! take lam sincere in ray.convi and I concede equal sincer others; but sincerity alone not make me right, does nol others right. Perfect freedc thought and speech belongs but each one's opinions mt tried by. facts and reason, n declamation, prejudice, and sion. It becomes each one:. the utmost plainness of sj and at the same time to rt the .rights of . others with th most courtesy of speech and her. We should seek only ' and righteousness. I would ri go down in the dust of def? thousand times, girded about truth and right, than to trh on the. side of falsehood wrong. Victory at the exper truth is a cheap and wort thing. No mors.l issue is fi settled, until settled on the of right. . Prohibition has not been failure its opposers have ri sen ted it to bp. It has been a erable farce tn some places was such in Edgefield, many y ago, so I have been infori Grant it! The special merit demerits ot any policy canu< proved by one or a few exam' A wide range of experiments observations is needful to 'es lish a theory." What has failec day, may succeed to-morrow. W failed in a community fifteer, twenty years ago may now bec a marked success in the si community. I cannot believe 1 the "hypocrisy and lying" wi I am told disgusted the good i pie of Edgefield when they ti prohibition, would be enacted endured now. The world mo in many respects. Men becc ashamed of past records. Ih la days, they blush at the memory former doings. They come to tako a not 3tand, and persuade others to the same. I grant that prohibition 1 Dften consorted with blind tige 'liars, perjurers and hypocrite 3o has the dispensary. So he licensed saloons. I think it w?i be little difficult to prove tbatp tiibition has not been pre-emine in this respect. The truth is, must.go far back of modernpi hibition and the dispensary find the origin of "lying and h pocrisp." "The wicked are t tranged from the womb, they astray as soon as they be boi speaking lies :" Dbvid, B. C. 10?. "I know not, am I my brothe: koeper?1' B. C. 4000. Here jj have very ancient mention of ti form of human depravity. Lyii and hypocrisy were already ri when prohibition was first adv sated. Prohibition and the di pensary are not specially respom ble for them. They only furnii a.field on which "liarB and hyp 3rites"-already existing-ha 3xpJoited their true character. L ?s go to the root of the matter. THAT FAMOUS COMMITTEE embracing in its list Sel Lowe, President of Columb College, New York, ar President Elliott, of Yale Un versify, made a most dan aging report on the results < prohibition in Maine, Kansas, an Iowa and lauded South Carolina dispensary syst* m. Many lette] recently received from mayor chiefs of police, and other publi officials, apparently confirm th report of this' committee. I lon ago learned that reports of Cor gre8sional committees, and c mayors, chiefs of polici., and othe public officials have been misleac ingin matters affecting the liquc interest. That committee nun bered fifty, mostly politicians. 1 is not shown that President Low? Or President Elliott went to Main or Kansas, or low?. They did nr come to South Carolina, to invet tigate the dispensaryi as far'as know, lt is within the range c probability that some members n this committee wer-; imposed oi and hence the misleading tepon I will give my re aso ii s tor belie v ing that 6uch was the case. In 1890, Hon Eugene. Halo, U S. Senator from Maine, wrote .'Throughout, the Slate generali the prohibitory . law . ha driven out the grog shop." Wi) liam DeW. Hyde, President o Bowdoin' Collage, Maine, wrote "Prohibition, even in its impi.-r feet working, has been a grea benefit to the moral, social, aui economic interests ot the SiatV Hon William P. Frye, U. S. Sen ator from Mr.i ne, wrote : "To-daj the country portions of the Stat' are absolutely froe from the sal? of liquor; in some of the countifji the jails have been without o;cu pants for years at a time. The law is not a failure; it has beeu lon the other hand, a wonderfu success." In 1888, Governor Marble, ol Maine, said: "Prohibition hat closed every distiller}- and brewer} in Maine. The law has greatly diminished the sale and use of in toxicating liquors. It is certainly the best law of which I have an}1 knowledge." U. S. Senator J. J. Ingalls, ol Kansas-never regarded as a warm supporter of prohibition wrote in The Forum of August. 1899: "Kansas has abolished the salons. The consumption of in i toxicants has enormously d' creased. Intelligent and consor vative observers estimate the re duction at 90 percent; il cannot be less than 757' Governor John A. Martin, an opposer of tho prohibitory amend ment when first agitated, (con verted by the results ofljthe law) in his farewell message to tb?? State legislature, January, 1S89. said: "Fully nine-tenths of the drinking and drunkenness, pre valent in Kansas eight years ago. has been abolished." 1 Judge W. C. Webb, of Kau6as, said, April 4, 1890: "I voted in 1880 against the prohibitory amendment. For four or five yesrs afterwards I thought ray opinion as to probable results was likely to be vindicated. But it is not so now. Prohibition has accomplish ed a vast deal of good, ;i thousand fold more than any license law ever did or ever could/'. William Larabee, at first an op poser, wrote Feb. 16, 1889: "I think more thau half of the jails in this State are empty at the present time. The families of la boring men now receive the bene fits of the earnings that formerly went to the saloons. There is no question in my mind but that this law is doing good for the people. The law has more fripp.ds in the State than it ever had before." I have not space to multiply such endorsements of prohibition in Maine, Kansas, ami Iowa from citizens of these states. They ought to know. Their endorse ment, let me say, refers to the time preceding 1890. The com mittee of fifty made its report some two or three years ?go. I regret that I cannot give the ex act date. To me it sterns incredi ble that there could have occur red such a total change in these states during the fouryears that intervened, ns would justify tho report made by that committee. IJ am not prepared to believe it, and I expect yet to obtain convincing j reasons for my incredulity. Let it never be forgotten timi liquor dealers are opposed to pro hibition. They fight it everywhere. "The Brewer and Malstor" of Chi-' cago, tho organ of the liquor in terest, speaking of the Iowa' "Mulet law," s? id '-If I he Mulet: law is pronounced unconstitution al, the prohibition law will be in force again, and even tho present saloon business, diff?rent as it i's on account of the conditions im posed by the "Mulet law," ought not to be subjected to the risk :>? | abolishment." . Saloon authority here tells the' truth, unpalatable as it maj' be to the trade. The saioon business will be "subjected to the risk of abolishment" under the prohibition law. If prohibi tion is such a complete failure, then liquor papers and liquor deal ers ought to work f or it. Ihey never do. Let it never be forgotten that the liquor traffic is the most pitiless and most effective enemy ot' home, of society, and of Christ's King dom. Its history ie one coutiuous record of wrong, crime, poverty, shame, violence, and death. It is the duty of all Christians to oppose it, wheresoever and by whomsoever conducted. They can destroy it, if they will stand united in persistent, fearless effort. This greatest curse of the human race' will continue its deadly work yet. longer; howlong I know not, but it will ultimately be destroyed. I believe its doom is certain, because I believe the Kingdom of Christ will ultimately prevail in all the earth, a consummation impossi ble till the liquor traffic is de stroyed. I believe the Bible gives no ap proval to the usa of intoxicating wines, but plainly condemns their use; in some placea utters posi tive prohibition against them, in others pronounces God's woe upon those who suffer themselves to be deceived thereby or help to ruin others therebj^. I regret, that se vere sickness, since I decided to write, has .prevented me from dis cussing this phase of the question before the coming primary. I hope yet to discuss it. I have absolute faith in the com mon sense view that the Bible* do?s not contradict itself on any moral issue, The "cup of Hessing;" which it commends, cannot bethe same as the "poison and curso" of the cup whicii it cou demil 8. The Bible, being God's word, cannot, does not countenance thit* fruitful source of so much sm and woe. I have yet found no valid reason for changing my convic tion. In my creed, hbupet convic tion can make no compromis? with acknowledged evil. I ywst do, what I can to abate the evil, to destroy it, it' I can. Hence I am ? prohibitionist; For eighteen hun dred years, restrictive legisla) ion o'f human governments, in w!l nigh ?very, conceivable fo:-:n, hi. been tried, and has failed. I be lieve prohibitive law should now bave the ? "right of way." Tb*' voice of God speass to my con science: "Prohibition is right'.'' My faith bids me add: "Tins will intimately triumph. 1 know ?"Mine is but an binni le rushlight Paled by many a brilliant blaze,, *3(et upon the somber midnight .
