HOW TO LOOK GOOD
Good looks are really more
than skin deep, depending entire
ly on a healthy condition of all
the vital organs. If the liver is
inactive, you have a bilious look;
if your stomach is disordered,
you have a dyspeptic look; if
your kidneys are affected, you
have a pinched look. Secure
health, and you will surely have
good looks. 4'Electric Bitters"
is a good Alternative and Tonic.
Acts directly on the stomach, 0
liver and kidneys, purifies the 1
blood cures pimples, blotches and c
boils, and gives a good complex
ion. Every bottle guaranteed.
Sold at Crawford Bros' Drug j"
Store. 60 cents per bottle.

Laurens, S. C., Sept 16th 1808.
To the Editor of The Greenville P1
News. Tl
Please give me a little space in
your columns that I may say a El
few words in reference to the F<
recent election.
In the tirst place, I desire to |
thank my friends all over the i
State for the many kindnesses (J,
and courtesies shown me during T<
the recent campaign, and for the
large vote tbey gave me on the
30th of August and 13th Septenw j M
ber. From the bottom of my M
heart I appreciate their kindness Hi
, aud support. 1 shall endeavor to
so conduct myself that ray friends
will never have cause to regret
their support.
1 have made the best fight that
, 1 could; 1 have made it upon the
highest plane of which 1 was
capable. When I entered the
race I was conscious that I was
' advocating what was right The
campaign has but strengthened
1 my convictions along that line?
1 my conscience and skirts are
'cle#r- i b!
In the second place 1 would
urge my friends and supporters Fi
not to become discouraged. We
have made a good fight. We \
have fought upon high grounds!
1! and for the sake of principle. We
'I have nothing of which tr? l??' aw
w /V
1 ashamed. Better things are in
> store for us in the future. Right
must and will triumph in the end. cu
Go to work in earnest for the va
' cause that you love, and in the N?
future good results are sure to ^'c
follow. TC
du
' In the third place, let me urge cot
1 my friends to be true ami loyal cu
to the incoming administration. ^
By your earnest cooperation and aQ
support it can l?e made lietter. It gt(
is your duty as good citizens to B {
stand by the law so long as it remains
the law, no matter how l>r
imperfect it may be. Wo have
had enough strife and bitterness
in South Carolina. Wo must get ?
together and bolster up our ofli
cers and assist them in the execu- cei
tion of the laws. It is not the ?rf
part of good citizenship to abuso th<
and villify those in authority. On
tho contrary the good citizen, (lu
even though he may belong to y?
the minority, will, after he has n,(
made his tight, rally to the sup- VK
port of those by whom he has Rr<
been l>eaten and assist them in hit
the discharge of duty.
I therefore urgo my friends to
throw aside disappointment and
prejudice aud act as true Caro
Iinmns ought to act.
For those who have fought me i
upon principle, who have l>een
fair and have used no improper
means, i have nothing but the
kindest feeling. They have aimply
done what they had a right to
do. For those who have fought
me from improper motives and
have used doubtful methods I ^
have no harsh words. Tbev will
I ^ * ,h
find puniahment enough in the l?;
cusations of their own cc.n
icnco.
I have nothing of the "sor?
ad"' at>out 1110. I Hhall not b<
mid "snlking in my tent." 1
n ready and willing to do all ir
v power to t>enetit and help ok

Greenville News, I8lh inst.
L The finding of a bottle ol

j the pocket of Homer Walker, the
negro city convict who died the
, night before in convulsions,
which attack was thought to have
i been brought on by his being
, placed in a cool ce'l aftor being

- hi.s death and clouded it in a mystery
which a coroner's investi'
Ration failed to solve. The bottle
contained enough of the drug to
) kill over a hundred luon and there
was enough missing from the vial
' to kill about a score.
Walkor denied to the last that
I bo had taken anything that might
: make him sick, and when lie was
! placed in tho cell before he became
I sick he was thoroughly searched.
. He was visited at his cell by several
of his colored acquaintances,
and it is thought possible that on?
( of these either curried him the
r drug at his own solicitation oi
that the dose that killed him was
carried to him in soaie morsel and
the bottlo slipped in his pocket tc
. givo tho idea of suicide. Wher
he first became ill he told Chiel

ises to one woman and marriec
another and that he feared thai
the first woman had "hoodooed'

9 way through that he had eatet
) anything in tho cell that wai
| brought to him by outsiders.
The inquest was hold yesterdftj
afternoon in the court house
where a large crowd gathered t<
hear the evidence in the hopes o
t seeing the mystery solved, bu
the jury, after bringing out al
the evidence obtainable, rendere<
this verdict: "We believe he cam<
to his doaih from a dose of strych

SOMETHING ABOUT 1IER LIFE.
[ Atlanta, Sept 18.?Winnie
i Davie, the 4'Daughter of theConi
federacy," was born the Con>
federate Executive Mansion in
Richmond, in 1863. She was
eaucaieu principally at home,
owing to the trouble surrounding
her father and the publicity which
attended all movements of the
Davis family. Miss Davis attained
her maturity at Heauvoir,
Miss. She assisted her mother
in various ways and took her
place in the many social functions
of the place. She was her father's
constant companion. She
assisted him in all his work and
much of the time which was rei
quired by Mr Davis in his writi
ings was secured for him by his
j daughter. Her strong character
I was marked from youth. She wan
'engaged to a Mr Wilkerson, of
i Syracuse, N Y., but shoitly after
her father's death the engagement
i was broken off. While no public
i explanation of the rupture was
[ given out, it 'swell known that
i! it was for the pusposo of main,
i taining her father's name,
f She received the name,
. "Daughter of the Confederacy,''
1! in 18St>, when her father made
t his famous trip through the South.
' I Mr Dvis being unable to appear,
3 Mi as Davis was brought before
11 tho thousands at the different

as the "Daughter of the
