'It is defeat that turns bone to flint, and grisliest o muscle, and makes men invincible, and form* ed those heroic natures that are noir in the ascendency in the world.-Do not then be afraid of defeat.-Yon are never so near to victory as when defeated in a good cause.-BEECHER. Lyon baa been lionized. Edgefiel&'s re-elected Solons are "paired" on" the liquor question. This has been au election ol great surprises as well as disap pointments. Without knowing what the fate of the dispensary will be, we say" hurrah for Brantley Smith ! Edgefieid's vote is 1738 (with Hamburg yet to be heard from) against .1731 last year. The people aeem to be "agin" Hon. Josh ?shley. He will proba bly le defeated. What a calamity ! It appears that the Piedmont and Charleston-the "mountains and valleys"-have gone for An sel. It is ail over. The haud-shakiug will cease and the smile on the candidate's face will soon come off. Wouldn't the defeat of Hut Evans and the \ictory of Lyon paralyze lhe grafters? Aiay it bc so. We hope to be able to -say iu the next issue of the Advertisei that "everybody was defeated bul Ansel." Newberry's galaxy: Blease, Evans and Jones ; these three, and the greatest of these is neither, for they are ali on a parity. The South Carolinians who pride'them selves upon lawlessness Lave much to boast of. Three lynchings in seven days is a pretty good record. Augusta hrs invited Hon. Wil liam Jennings Bryan to visit that ?city and deliver an address during the coming fair. What's Atlanta going to do about it? .-. -----' * i Alas, poor "Hub" 1 Reports from\ ^ 37 out pf 43 boxes in Newberry ; give Hon. Sub Evans only . 452 W ell, .1 li ?5 ?tSelt^&ri^ou^^ will have the honor or dishonor of settling the perplexing liquor question in the next legislature, for the vote of one of Edgefield'B j representatives will cancel the other. The writer expected all along to scratch the name of one A. C. Jones, candidate for governor j from Newberry, but after t?? struck his one-armed opponent in the face it gave us peculiar pleas ure to literally blot out his name. It seems that Cuba's troubles' will never cease. Before she had fully recovered from tyranny and oppression of an outside foe, in ternal strife Bet in. "Uncle Sam" will yet be asked to take the Baby Republic under the Bhadow of hi6 wing. . It is true that the newspaper | man receives a little extra cash during campaign year but he earn? every dollar of it ten times over. The candidates have their troubles in trying to "stand in" with the people, but the newspaper -man if> expected to please all the candi- j dates and all the people too. Some counties have elected solid anti-dispensary delegations, others solid dispensary dela tions, and some, Aiken for exam ple, are divided between county and state dispensaries. In a few days, after the smoke and noise of battle shall have cleared awsy, we will know what the real status IP. Clemson Colhgehas been some what like the dispensary, i- that prior io rocent years no one who aspired'ta office dared to assail or question its management. How ever, during tho campaign just ended this itstitution hr.s comp in for its share of criticism. And justly so, for too much money i^| bei;.g lavished upon it. Unies* there is a change, an investigation will be in order at no very remote day. Niue Jersey cows have re cently been purchased for Clem son at a cost of $1,800.

Criminal assaults upon helpless women are becoming alarmingly frequent-three in South Carolina, within ten days. Lyu ching, which is almost invariably the sequel of such crimes, seems not to prevent them. What, then, must be done? Are we to t-tand supinely by and not prot-ct our defenseless women agftiust fiends . in human form? The suggestion of a mounted rural ppHc'j aa a means of preveutiou has baen made, also the arming of girls and w.iraen for sslf-d^fei^}. It has been fu iher .-unsted that a better enforcement of the vagrant law would greatly reduce all crimps We believe the latter to be the most practical suggestion yet made. As a rule, the law-abiding citizens are thosa who are regular ly employed, ?while, on the other hand, the criminal element, of any community is composed of persons, both white and colored, who are idlers, loafers, vagabonds, who work only when dire necessity forces them to. Put the idle, floating element to work and all crimes will diminish. There should be some concert of action along'this line among the white people. The Election Over. The election is over. And thank God for it-we Eay this reverently.. The campaign just closed in this county., owing - to tjieiheated^con -^?gB^^^f^'-T?^K?ra^est' - vote that has been cast since the dis memberment pf the old county, was polled on Tuesday. We publish the- vote in tabula ted form, and while it may not be entirely accurate-LO absolutely correct statement being possible till the official count, is made yet we believe no error will be found sufficiently large to change the result. According to the returns sent in, there ?ill be only two second contests in the county offices. Mr. D. P. Self and Capt. J. R. Block er will make a second race for ; County Supervisor, and Messrs. R. C. Griffis and W. E. Turner will run again for County Com" 1 missioner. As to the congressional race: Very meagre returns hav6 been received from over the district. Congressman Patterson leads by- a , comfortable majority in this county, is second in Saluda, and carries Barnwell, Beaufort and Bamberg counties by large ma jorities. He may be elected on firBt ballot. At this writing (Wednesday afternoon) no definite informa tion can be giv6n as to the state officers. Ansel leads for governor by a good majority, with Manning second. Lyou .received tremendous vote in many sections of the state, may be elected on first ballot. Unnecessary Expense. Acute attacks of colic and diar rhoea come on without warning and prompt relief must be obtain ed. There is no necessity, of incur ring the expense of a physician's service in such cases if Chamber lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy is at band. A dose of tb IR remedy will relieve the patient before a doctor could arrive. Il bas never been known to fail, even in the most severe and dan gerous cases aud no family should be without lt.
