Sages Catarrh Remedy really cures Catarrh, whether the disease be recent or of long standing, because the makers of it clinch their faith in it with a $500 guarantee, winch isn't a mere newspaper gaurantee, but '(on call'' in a moment. That moment is when you prove that its makers can't cure you. The reason for their faith is this: Dr. Sage's remedy has proved itself the right cure for ninety-nine out of one hundred cases of Catarrh in the Head, and the World's Disoensarv ' XV Medical Association can afford to take tlie risk of you being the one hundredth. The only question is?are you willing to make the test, if the makers are willing to take the risk"? If so, ? . i the rest is easy. You pay your druggist 50 cents and the trial begins.

Yesterday almost the entire session of the Court of Common Pleas was occupied in hearing the returns to the rule to show cause why a receiver should not be aooointed to X X take charge of the assets of the old Commercial Bank. The complaint of Levi Metz, the plaintiff, was read by Mr. Allen J. Green; the answer of Commercial Bank by Mr. J. S. Muller, and the . answer of S. S. Metz by Mr. ?fird of Lexington. An affidavit of Mr. Wm. H. Lyles, , solicitor of the new bank, and for a few weeks its president, was read by 1 himself. All of the papers in the case are voluminous and occupied a great deal of time in the reading. . lhe complaint recites in detail tne ( history of the banking partnership of Iredell & Met?, known as ^the Commercial Bank," and'^the formation of the new bank, which is a chartered ' institution, know as "Commercial Bank, of Columbia, S. C.," (the prefix the not being used by the new Bank), and amongst other thkngs charges conspiracy to convert the assets of the old bank into the assetsof the new bank. Mr. Metz claims I' that about 8d5,000 is due to him by ( Captain Iredell and the bank. The answers of the several defend- | * Ante admit certain facts iu the eomC~aint, such as the partnership of i Messrs. Metz & Iredell the formation * jf the new bank, etc., and denies al- I ?v.

After hearing arguments pro and J ?on Judge Hudson instructed the j ittorneys to frame an order restrain- ! ng any of the c.xeditors of the old j oanking fivrn of Metz & Iredell from instituting uits against that copart- , aership pending the adjudication of j the case on its merits, and further ' 7 I providing fjr the appointment of a j receiver who is to take charge of all j the asse+^As are in the old bank, ex- ' ;ept smK^isets as are in the hands ; >f and clamed by the present Com- j mercial Bank, and the appointment i Df the receiver to be without pre- j judice to the right of the Commer- j ' ' *1 i f 1L L _ ' 2ial .Bank: to collect any 01 tne asseiH in its lianox. by suit or otherwise.

The Farmers' Alliance Makes the ; Situation Interesting. , j The > Democrats Have Nothing to : Lose by It?No Third Party Move- j rnent in the Allianae Enterprise. I The Silver Question. The Washington Star recently j published a two column interview 1 with Senator Edmunds upon the present political situation and outlook. As between the two great parties the I Senator does not see any great differcnce between the situation now j and what it has been for several years, i but as to the Farmers' Alliance the situation is one of extraordinary in- ! terest and importance because of its j possible effect upon the next national election. The reporter asked: "What dangers to both parties and to the j Armnfw are there in the situation1-" "I do not think there is any dan- j ger to the Democratic party," the Senator replied with a faint smile. | I "For in this respect all is fish that conies to its<net, or indeed that goes into the net of the Farmers' Alliance: for in the next Presidential election if the Farmers' Alliance should carry j many States without having a major; ity of the whole electoral college the | simple result would be , that there i would be no election by the people. | as it is called, and the present | House of Representatives, having a ! very large Democratic majority of States as well as members, would elect a Democratic candidate in a Constitutional and regular way, 8.1 i though he may have earned tne | smallest number of States. As to j the danger of the Republican party, 1 it is that the Farmers' Alliance may i carry in the next Presidential elec tion 3ome States that would othert ! wise vote for a Republican candidate, and thus in effect, if there should be no election by the people, give tig j issues of the Rre4dectial campaign : partiesr'' "The Republicans will doubtless j stand by the same ground for justice ' and equality of rights among the citizens of the United States and far fair ejections and for the protection of American labor and industries that it has maintained hitherto." "Do you think that silver will be an issue in the next election?" <*1 don't think it will be1 an issue between the Republicans and Democrats, for I think that the Democratic party will hardly wish to make the silver question an issue to the extent of running any considerable risk oi separating silver and gold as coin money for the country, and certainly the great body of the Republican party-1 am sure will not up to the point of safety. I have no doubt but that the Republicans will be in favor of using silver as money as it has always done. What the Farmer's Alliance platform, if it should nominate a candidate for President, will be I am quite unable to say." "How is the feeling of union among the certain classes to be met?" "X think it is to be met as every other disturbance in society ought V O to be, by a candid consideration, by correct information, just reasoning and by the enactment of such laws as may fairly appear to be for the promotion of the general public good. It is upon such considerations l that every government of the people j must be carried on." "Is the third party movement | likely, and if so, what might it lead | to" Is communism at the bottom of j it?" ! "A third party movement," said the Senator, "does not exist in the Farmers' Alliance enterprise. If successful to the extent of having a President and both houses of Con gress, it would doubtless lead to the enactment of the measures they have already indicated, and then in a very short time whether those measures were good for the farmer or extremely bad for them would manifestly appear. I do not thick that communism is at the bottom of the Farmers' I Alliance movement. The per centage j of communism in this country is, I believe, almost infinitesimally small. The great body of the laboring people' of the country, which, taking all I the departments of human activity, | AAO vwaVVOUI -tt ^ A I 'CLII vi K/*J iiiLiny -li > c uiac \ hundredths of the whole number of j grown up people who are altogether | too intelligent and honest to think ' that communism will be of any benefit to them or their families, but i they believe that it is destructive of j private rights of personal prosperity i and personal happiness, and if ear- i ried into practice would effect the I maintenance of the vicious and lazy | and ignorant out of the toil of intelligent and industrious people." ' How might the finances of the country be effected by this movement?" ' The finances of the country always depend very largely upon the confidence that people engaged in business and people having capital have in the administration of its gov ernraent. it any ot the movements , of which we have been speaking should appear so formidable as to made unsound legislation at all probable, the finances of the country < would be very greatly disturbed, and that, of course, would disturb every branch of labor and business.

She is a fine looking woman, and strong in body as in mind. She went to the platform with an ease and grace that indicated her familiarity with such places. She laid aside her hat, and stood up before the audience and, as a little girl ex- m pressed it, she talked just like a man. * She started off by showing that woman was forced to the front.

Thus women have been forced to work. They have the privilege of working for a living, paying taxes without voting and being hanged by verdicts emanating from a jury not made up of their peers. In work, education and moral reforms woman has been forced to take the position she occupies to-day. It is not of her own choosing, but she is here to stay.

They simply pointed to their license and claimed that they were doing just what their friends, the voters, said they could do.

She believed that the child was now bora that would see the last licensed saloon swept from the face of the country. Her argument was clear, forcible and logical. Her manner of speaking is very attractive. She has no abuse for any one. Spartanburg will always give this gifted, good woman a warm welcome. E. S. W. Superintendant Press Work, Leesville Y. W. C. T.
