A cordial invitation is ex tended to our subscribers and friends to call at our office while attending court. We shall be glad to see them. The first week in Decem ber the Methodist conference and the State Baptist conven tion will meet in Newberry and Greenville, respectively. Owing to the congested dockets and the increasing demand for extra terms of court in many of the counties the question of increasing the number of circuits and judges is being agitated in all parts of the State. It seems that Booker T. Washington, of Alabama, has greater pulling power with President Roosevelt in the matter of South Carolina ap pointments than has John G. Capers. The former present ed the claims of one Cru rn, colored, for the Charleston collectorship while the .latter urged the appointment of one Talbot, white. The Presi dent has made known his in tention of appointing Booker Washington's man. The Census office has an nounced the result of the first month's ginnery canvass of the 626 special agents. Every one of the 29,314 cotton gins in the country was visited. The number of bales ginned from the growth of 1902 up to and including Orfober 18th was 5,925,872, of which 601, 431 were ginned iii South Carolina. The government estimate is that 60 per cent. Las been ginned; taking this estimate as correct this year's crop will not reach the ten million-bale mark. THE ELKS CARNIVAL. Instead of the fail attraction heretofore known as Merry makers' week, Augusta will have a solid week of fun and frolic furnished by the Elks' Carnival. The Elks have planned, and carefully arrang ed every detail of the attrac-| tion and it gives promise of surpassing' anything of ?he kind ever held before. They have secured many free shows all of which are instructive and cannot be objected to on moral grounds. Several very large bands will provide sweet music for the open air con certs. The busiest of men, feeling | the need of diversion, will lay aside business and attend at! least for one day. The gates of the city will be thrown wide open on Monday morn ing next and all are invited to enter and participate in the pleasures of the occasion. Edgefield will send a large crowd. Remember the date, November 17-22. Sam Jones on the Dispensary. From Atlanta Journal. The biggesr thing in South Car olina is the dippensary. Ben Till man and tho devil saddled th? thing on South Carolina and the polit?ceos and the devil are run ning it with the aid of fools and Continues to make READ THU ALMOST A Gentlemen In September, 1899, I ina month after th? disease started CTOL lt continued to y row worse until 5? T?oh ?othat 1 could not use thei Tee* touched my hips. I was as nelpie The muscles of my arms and leg* were many times over. Waa treated by six di Marlon, but none of them could do me at came to see me. He told me to try you & ofthe medicine and I began to take it ai began to jet better. I used five and a xnat waa two years ago, and my health h no symptoms of rheumatism. I reeai remedy for rheumatism on the market recommended lt to others since and it ha Will say farther, that I began to wall 1 ?"P*AOT?Hwiifc the aid of crutch? to take lt, I could walk as good as anybod Ve Al! Druggists, or sent express Bobbitt Chemical Co., r?scale who buy the liqnor. Whis key is sold from the dispensary from sun up till sun down and the prices range from 10 cents for half a pin', bottlo to $1.00 for pint bot tle, from popBkull to "good liker." Drummers and "gentlemen" buy the "good licker" and negroenaud poor whites buy the 10 cents a pint stuff. All the dispensaries ol' the stat* are furnished their liquor from Columbia wholesale shops The Btate takeB its profits at head quarters before the t>wn and county dispensaries get hold of it. Then the town audcounty divido the profits equally. And the work of drunkard making goes steadily on. I find in mingling with 'the people (I mean the good people) for I go with no other sort, are all opposed to the dispensary. They say it's better than the saloon. Just as they prefer measeis to smallpox. They nay it's death to morals and manhood, whether it's furnished by saloon, blind tiger or didpeusary. The dispensary is as mu^h in politics in South Carolina as the saloons of Chicago or Atlanta are in polilcs. Therefore both gangs know that when Ihey go out of po litics they must go out of business. And so it goes, and it looks like as long as the infernal greed of whis key dealers and the infernal ap petite for drink shall possess raeu that.tbe traffic will foon, but T aro still at my old g;ime fighting the gangs ou both sid^. They tell me 1 can't itop it, but I tell them that I am like the buy .vuo grabbed tbe calf by the tail and the calf took off down the road at break-neck speed, ar.d the boy keeping up with the procession and by and by a gentleman eaid to the boy, "Tom, what are you doing with that calf?" 1 am tryiug to stop him. ' "You can't stop him that way," said the gentleman. **I know I can't," said the b>y, "but I'm slowing bim up some." So I say, gentlemen,while I may never be abl i to stop the gang, I have them by the tail and hope to slow them up somewhat. I asked the hotel man in one of the Sou'b Carolina towus if the drum mers bought much despeusary hquor,he replied not much. A few of them still drink, butas a rub when a drummer gets drunk at my hotel, he don't come buck any more. I inquire of him, and I leam bis housf: bus fir^d him. He eaid T find that drinking or gambling drummers are growing pearce and Hcarcer every year. Their bou?es fire them. Liquor was iiert . under bond like it is today, the fellows who drink it as tbe low down white folks and negroes, who have noth ing to loose, or the well todo fel lows, who can afford to be vaga bonds for they have money and money not ou? makes the filly go, but it makes a dog respectable. 1 keep saying that the last mau of us was born half dog and half mcu, and many men have fed the dog in them and Btarved the man, until the man in them ie dead and the dog full grown, and there are thousaudr of fellows, who if th^y had a little more hair and a tail they could goto runniug rabbits for a negro. A dog, fit for nothing but bologna sausage. Whiskey is splendid dog food, and man poison. An Interesting Communication from 0. Sheppard, Esq, to the| local Lodffc L O. O. F. Dr. F. W. P, Butler, N.

I am, Yours very sincer-ly, Orlando Sheppard. I Salt pork is a famous old fashioned remedy for con sumption. "Eat plenty of pork," was the advice to the consumptive 50 and 100 years ago. Salt pork is good if a man can stomach it. The idea behind it is that fat is the food the consumptive needs most. Scott'sEmulsionisthemod ern method of feeding fat to the consumptive. Pork is too rough for sensitive stomachs. Scott's Emulsion is the most refined of fats, especially prepared for easy digestion. Feeding him fat in this way, which is often the only way, is half the battle, but Scott's Emulsion does more than that. There is some thing about the combination of cod liver oil and hypophos phites in Scott's Emulsion that puts new life into the weak parts and has a special action on the diseased lungs. A sample will be sent free upon request. ???? Be sure that this pltture in thc form of a label is on thc wrapper of every bottle of Emulsion you buy. SCOTT & BOWNE, CHEA1ISTS, 409 Pearl St., N.
