As a last resort, I was induced to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and, after tak. ing a number of bottles, the sore SB began to disappear and my general health improve. I persisted in this B treatment, until the sore was entirely healed. Since then, I use Ayer's Sarsaparilla occasionally as a tonic and blood-purifier, and, indeed, it seems as though I could not keep house without it."?Mrs. S. A. Fields, Bloomfield, la. AYER'S .

We have been told, time after time, ^ that early rising is a wonderful method of lengthening the day, and thus adding to the value and usefulness of a man's life. To those who are tempted to self indulgence in sleep by a natural tendency to ease, or a lack of incentive to early rising, ? * i - - ? 3 the injunction is gooa enougu, auu should be enforced. But with a majority of us the danger lies in the opposite direction. The demands upon our time are so many and so pressing that the longest day is sadly too short for the work we would like to see done in it. We go to bed at night with the unpleasant conviction that something is being left half unfinished, and tomorrow has already enough duties of its own to occupy its hours. So we get in the babit of f . v scheming how the day may be made a bit longer by stealing a fragment from both ends of the night. We then flatter ourselves upon having stolen a march from Dame Nature, aDd cheated her out of her own. f And how easy it is to imagine that f kn /ikonnrA we Jeei uuue iiic nuifCiVi tuc tuau^i, and tbat the tooth of weariness which sometimes oppresses us is an unwortbv inclination to slothfulness that ought to be kept in subjection. Time, however, tells another tale, and a few years will prove that the human system must have the appointed hours of sleep and rest, or serious consequences will follow. "When early rising is practiced it must be preceded by early retiring. "We are told that a large p rtion of people who have lived to an extreme ^ old age were early risers; butitiswell to understand that they are mostly 14 agricultural laborers and country people, living simply and contented, | and going to bed about nine o'clock in the evening, without a care to* ruffle their sleep. A schoolboy on his holiday does not rest more soundly; and it is unreasonable for the ordinary business man, who has hands and brain actively engaged until almost midnight, to attempt to keep pace with Lim in the morning. vnol from m JLiJCiC io uV 1 cai guiu ^ self of the needed rest. The day may be lengthened, bat it is proportionly weakened, for loss of sleep means loss of energy. s There is a story told of a ccrta'n tradesman who was in difficulties, and wen* to his brother for assistance. On his arrival he found him in bed, and had to wait sometime for his appearance. 'T am surprised at you staying in bed so long," said the poor relation: "I have been up three hours at least." "Yes," replied the more fortunate brother; "but you see when I do get up I am thoroughly awake." The hint was more forcible than thoughtful, yet it contains a lesson that is especially applicable to those who are trying to gain for themselves a livelihood and a fortune. He who has secured enough sleep has secured .one of the safeguards against the encroachments of disease and mental prostration. His nerves are steadier,, his intellect is clearer and keener, and the business and responsibility of life are attended with a degree of comfort and efficiency that are other r-k wise unattainable. A few days ago two gentlemen met by chaDce in our saDctum. They were quite youthful in appearance, and inexcellcnt health. On comparing notes it was found that both had been in the military service during the "late unpleasantness," but upon | opposite side. Their youthful apj pearance led to a banter as which was the elder, and it was agreed that I each thould mark the date of his birth on a slip of paper and place it in the writer's hands, when it trans- ! pired that the ''wearer of the gray" was senior by some seven years. We confessed our astonishment, for he was by far the younger looking. 'T am a great home body," he explained, "and having married soon after the war, I have scarcely ever missed j retiring for the night as early as nine I o'clock. In addition to this, my | habits in life have always been sim; pie and temperate." ! He was a man fifty years of age who did not look to be more than thi-ty five all owing to simple and regular habits of life, with a due a11 >tment to "nature's sweet restorer, sleep." And nature will never be cheated of her requirements without writing her protest in indelible lines. ? A New Ananias.

C, June 17.?In a short interview with Senator Irby today, jour correspondent asked this question: "Will you be at Manning next Monday, Senator?" The Senator answered: "No, I shall not attend that or any other campaign meeting as candidate for the United States Senate. I had intended up to a short time ago to ask for nomination at the ensuing primary, but have concluded not to enter the contest. From advices received frcm different sections of the State I conclude that my motives and official acts for the last year have been misunderstood by the faction of which I was a charter member. It is apparent from these advices that I must antagonize those with whom I have cooperated politically since 188G. It seems that the entire machinery of the party government has been or ganized to humiliate, defeat and destroy me. This would not have been but for a misunderstandirjg of my motives in opposing the equal division of delegates to the Constituiioan, the defense of the name of Butler in that convention, my opposition to the plan of suffrage as adopted and the uncompromising poi-i ion taken by me in opposition to a bolt in the late State Democratic convention. In addition, if I were to run with my old friends organized against me, I could only expect support from those heretofore my political opponents, which would be distasteful to me as they owe me no favors. In arriving at this conclusion, I desire to say that I cherish no spleen towards those who I believe misconstrue my motives and political course recently, and confidently anticipate the future to vindicate these positions and policies/* Paralysis as a Emit of Nervousness. From the News, Indianapolis, Ind. McCordsville is a quiet little village, sixteen miles northeast of Indianapolis. Here lives in a modest cottage with her parents a patient sufferer, whose afflictions, borne without a murmur, have been known to all the countryside. Her name is Anna Naglej, and this is the story as she tells it: "I was a healthy, happy child. Four years ago last May I became partially paralyzed, and by January, 1892, I was utterly helpless and in bed. I lay until April. I had the best medical attendance that could be procured, but nothing could be done for me. One day I chanced to see an article in a paper, a statement from a man who had been cured by Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. His symptoms and sufferings as he described them corresponded to my own. I resolved to try the pills, i They were not on sale in McCordsville and sent to Mr. Quiglev, a druggist at Greenfield. "My limibs from hips down were cold and numb. Though wrapped in hot blankets and vigorously rubbed with liniments, the circula- I lion of the blood could not be kept j up. The dose is one pill for each meal, to be increased to three. I began with three. I said to myself I the doctors have no hope for me, so here goes three at a clip. My im- j provemeut was as rapid as it was wonderful. By the fourth or fifth day my limbs were moist and warm, and I felt that my blood was stirring. I took several boxes of the pills. In the maintime I got up and began to walk about, and this was the first walking alone and without a crutch that I had done for two years. From ninety-five pounds my weight rose to one hundred and seventeen pounds, and I could walk as well as anyone. I washed and ironed and did the housework. The doctors were all puzzled. They neither understood my sickness nor my recovery. V ornorioTico Viaq marlo TV11 - Hams' Pink Pills for Pale People known to others, and many have used them and been cured. Mr. Haskell, a neighbor here, partially paralyzed, has been made well and able to work. So has Mr. Kimberlin and several others. W. Hard| mau, an attorney at the neighboring town of Pendleton, was partially j paralyzed, follow iig an attack of grip. He was scarcely able to walk, even with crutches. The Pink Pills have cured him. My father, James W. Nagley, sixty-five years old, was j so nervous be could not hold a cup j I in his band. The Pink Pills have j restored him. Mrs. Elias Marsh, of j Greenfield, who suffered from rheumatism for ten years and was almost j helpless, has been cured by Williams" i Pink Pills for Pale People. I know j of others, but I considered my case j the most remarkable of any of them, ; as it was paralysis caused by the j giving way of the nervous system." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, \ in a condensed form, all the elemer.ts ! necessary to give new life and rich- | ness to the blood and restore shat- j tered nerves.

His sphere of usefulness, ! although not so ubiquitous, is qui e , as impoitant as that of the great c(n- j temporaries. His single weekly i paper is in miniature the seven issues 1 per wetk of the great dailies. His ' constituency is often the most moral i and high minded to be found in the I domain of history. He reaches the homes of brain and brawnjthat send ! to the colleges and cities the great, j well balanced men of the age. He j may not uproot scandal, expose corruption, tear down religious and j political parties, create empires or I crush dynasties, but he reaches and j influences the majority of the aimy ! of boys who, iu after years, fight the j great battles of life in the pulpit, at \ the bar, in the hospital, and even be come his most distinguished co-woik- j ers in journalism. The country editor may take wood ' and potatoes for his subscription pricey but he never lies about his cir- ! culation. He may mention in detail the process of construction of county barns and the intervisitation of un important bumkins, but he makes no attempt to build his fortunes on scan- j dais, bio! en homes, nasty twaddle, and undue prying into private life, j may write wretched English and deplorable grammer, but he never j talks about "innocuous desuetude" j and "masterful" iflorts. He may publish three pages of patent insides ; to one of original matter, but he never steals the news and brains of others because a geograpeical dif-: ference of lime favors his location. He may set his own type and turn the crank of his own press, but he never scales down the wa^es of his ? | employees, nor treats printers like 1 cattle nor pays starvation wages to . reporters. He may deplore certain j local usuages and want of apprecia- i tion of his columus by business men, but he never pursues people who have no means for reply with vindic- j tive bate, wi:n vile cartoons ana out! rageous persecution to the grave. ! He is not a life wrecker, nor a family wrecker, nor a scandal monger, nor i a party political poltroon, nor a bribe taker, nor a washer of dirty linen. , I Whatever his mistakes, troubles and ludicrous exhibitions at times, the j i country editor is an honest, painstaken citizen, one of the most potent ! factors in the higher civilization.

They must have a new kind of cats around Rocky Well to have shoes for them. We, on the Congaree, have all we can do to buy [shoes for ourselves and let the cats take care of their own feet. I am afraid my friend, Mr. Jacob Geiger, will not be a3 successful as Mr. B.

The irritating poisons of fermenting, putrid food, left in the stomach by indigestion, cause headache, neuralgia, nervousness, dizziness, stomach ache, nausea, irritability, and all the other well-known symptoms of indigestion. They also cause many pains and disorders which are often laid to other causes and hence are not easily curedBut as soon as the poisons are re. moved, all these symptoms and disorders disappear, because there is nothing left to cause them. Nothing succeeds in this like Shaker D gestive Cordial, because it prevents the undigested food from fermenting in the stomach and helps the stcmach to digest its food.

"And the pews are not comfortable That's too bad?the Sabbath is a day of rest, and we go to church for repose. The less we do through the week the more rest we clamor for on the Sabbath. "The church is so far away; it is too far to walk, and I detest riding in a street car, and they're always crowded on the Sabbath. That is, indeed, distressing. Sometimes when I think how much farther away heaven is than the church, and that there are no conveyances on the road of any description, I wonder how some of us are going to get there.

A young man in San Francisco and a young lady in San Jose were for a lime very much in love with each other, and dur ng that period each j wrote the other a two pound letter every day weighted down to the limit with kisses and expressions of love. But they quarrelled a few weeks ago. "Send back my letters,'' she wrote. "Return mine first," he replied. "If you had been a gentleman you would not have waited for me to demand their return," wrote she. "Ethics, for the use of women only, don't go,'" he responded. Then there came a pause in their correspondence. The young man wanted his letters very badly, for he knew he had made a fool of himself in every line of every letter. The young lady wanted hers, because any one would think she was crazy to fall in love with such a brute. "Send my letters on April 5th, and I'll send yours the same date, so we will both get them at the same time," wrote he. "All right," she answered. Each waited to see if the other would really act in good faith and send the letters, so neither received them. "A man who has so little regard for bis word," etc., wrote she. "A woman who would deliberately attempt such a confidence game," etc., responded he. There was another pause in the dorrespondence, during which both tried to devise some way of effecting an exchange. The idea of a third party occurred to both, but was abandoned. The intermediary might read the letters. Finally the young man decided to go after them. He effected the exchange, and now the correspondence has been resumed. "You know, dear little sweetheart, that I was just teasing you," wrote ll9. "You horrid boy, to treat me so. I have a notion never to love you again," answered she, and there will soon be another stack of two pound letters to exchange.

M'KIXLEV AXD HOBART Are the Standard Bearers of tlie Republican Party. The Gold Standard Adopted as the Financial Policy of the Party. Teller and other Silverites Bolt Amid the Snears and Jeers of Their Erstwhile Political Friends. The Rotten Fabric Upon Which the Candidates Stand. The Nation of Republican party assembled in convention at St. Louis 1 ist week for the purpose of nominating candidates for President and Vice President of the United States and to arrange for the National cam paifin. For weeks before the meet ing it was an open secret that enough opposing delegates would he unseated to insure MeKinley's nomination on the first ballot. This program was fully carried out regardless of the merits of the question of differences between the contestants and hence his nomination was no surprise. Much speculation has been indulged in as to who would secure the second place on the ticket, and the one who succedcd in shaking down the plum was the one least expected to do so outside of the McKiuly managers. There was also much diver sity of opinion as to whether the party would be committed to the gold standard, or a straddling financial plank would be adopted. The adoption of the gold stand ard was the occasion for tho withdrawal of Senator Teller and other delegates from silver States. The platform is but a rehash of unredeemed promises and pledges, in which, judging from the experiences of the past, there is no dependence to be placed in them, and the carrying of which was never intended. The following is THE PLATFORM. The Republicans of the I'nited States, assembled by their representatives in national convention, appeal ing for the popular and historical justification of their claims to the matchless achievements of the thirty years of Republican rule, earnestly and confidently address themselves to the awakened intelligence, experience and conscience of their countrymen in the following declaration of facts and principles: A PICTURE OF DEMOCRATIC RULE. For the first time since the civil war the Ameiican people have witnessed the calamitious consequences of full and unrestrictad Democratic control of the government. It has been a record of unparalled incapacity, dishonor and disaster. In ? J i %v* nr>A/vA ?v* if lioc UUIJJ JLlldtl an > o LuaiuigcujciJii ii nun ruthlessly sacrificed indispensible revenue, entailed an unceasing deficit: eked out ordinary current expenses with borrowed money, piled up the public debt to ?202.000,000 in time of peace, forced an adverse balance of trade, kept a perpetual menace hanging over the redemption fund, pawned American credit to aline syndicates and reversed all the measures and results of successful Kepublican rule. In the broad effect of its policy it has precipitated panic, blighted industry and trade with prolonged depression, closed factories, reduced work and wages, halted and crippled American productions, while stimulating foreign production for the American market. Every con| sideration of public safety and individual interest demands that the government shall be rescued from the hands of those who have shown themselves incapable to conduct it without disaster at home and disi i J 1 _l.?n l.?

ItlGHT RATES AND THEN REST. "\Yc denounce the present Democratic tariff as sectional, injurious to the public credit and destructive to business enterprise. We demand such ati equitable tariff on foreign imports, which come into competition with American products, as will not only furnish adequate revenue for the necessary expenses of the government, but will protect American labor from degradation to the wage level of other lands. We are not pledged to any particular schedules. The question of rates is a practical question, to be governed by the conditions of the lime and of production? the ruling and uncompromising princple is the protection and development of American labor and industry. The country demands a right settlement and then it wants rest. FOR RECIPROCITY. A We believe the repeal of the reciprocity arrangements negotiated by ? i 11* 1 1* tne last uepuoncan aammisirauon was a national calamity, and we demaud their renewal and extension on such terms as will equalize our trade with other nations, remove the restrictions which now obstruct the sale of American products in the ports of other countries, and secure enlarged markets for the products of our farms, forests and factories. Protection aud reciprocity are twin measures of Republican policy and go hand in hand. Democratic rule has recklessly struck down both and both must be reestablished. Protection for what we produce; free admission for the necessaries of life which we do not produce; reciprocity agreements of mutual interests which gain open markets for us in return for open market to others. Protection buikls up domestic industry and trade and secures our own market for ourselves; reciprocity builds up foreign trade and finds an outlet for our surplus. A WL> Fofc LOUISIANA. We condemn the present administration for not keeping faith with the sugar producers of this country.
