SOFICMtE
Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and - healthy spleen
are full of fat.
'Scott's Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
bloocf is thin and pale, Scott's
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. It net only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.

Representative Meeting Hold in
Columbia Information Asked
of Democratic Executive
Committee.
-Four hundred and fifty colored
men met at the Carolina hall last
night to discuss tho advis ,i|ulity
of organizing themselves into
o o
Democratic clubs.
After prayer by Prof. Gregory
the meeting was called' to order
by Kichafd Lee.
A temporary chairman ami
secretary were elected, Pro*, (iregory
being make chairpian and
E. E. Reeder secretary.
After some debate it was moved
by A. 8. Johnson that a committee
of five be appointed by the
chair to find out if the Democrat
tic State executive committee
could give any information as to
tbo admitting of negroes in the
o
Democratic uarty.
The commdt e is as follows: A.

E. E. Ueeder. This cotnmittce
was asked to report at the
next meeting, Sept. 29th.
It was generally admitted by
all to he a move in the right direction.
A. S. .Johnson said that
it would bo a matter of history
whether they be accepted or rejected,
and it was time that they
again throw themselves at the feet
of their friends at home, since
they have repeatedly said that
the negroes hail gone out from

Lake region, central valleys of j
the Ciulf States, with a general j
absence of rain or only slight f
precipitation, in the greater part t
of the area west of the Mississip i
pi river, although heavy rains oc- c
cur red in poitions of Arkansas

northern portions of tho corn belt, ;
more especially to the westward
of the Mississippi river. Much <
corn has been cut over the south- {

a liuo crop is assured. 1
The very cool weather has \
checked the opening of cotton in
the central and western portions |
of tho cotton region. Picking |
has, however, advanced rapidly 1
generally tbvotlglicfuk
as a rule, under favorable condi- t

inadequate in ^ome States. Over |

Whiskey In Elections.
summerville News.
The uso of whiskey for tho purpose
of influencing votes is one of
:he worst forms of bribery imaginable,
as it is an evil that is
growing with alarming rapidity
vnd great boldness. It is generally
stated and admitted that large
quantities of liquor have been sent
to yarious parts of Dorchester
county, for the purpose of controlling
votes, and so common has
it become as to be frequently referred
to as (/no of the natural
evils attending upon every election.
Not only this, but it is
claimed that many casas of liquor
ire regularly distributed through
the dispensaries in tho State, in
the interest of favored candidates.
To great has become the evil that
it should be made a matter for
qieeial legislation. A law con
[iscaimg 10 mo dtato any liquor
found within a certain distance of
ii voting precint, and punishing
the party in whoso possession it
is found, might have some effect.
It is worth trying.
