I became weak, nervous, was unable to look after my interests, and manifested all the symptoms of a (le- ' cline. I took three bottles of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, betan to improve at once, and gradually increased my weight from one hundred and twenty-five to two hundred pounds. Since then. I and my family have used this medicine when needed, and we are all in the best of ? health, a fact which we attribute to Ayer's Sarsaparilla.

To the Democratic voters of South Carolina: I have the honor to place my name jL before you as a candidate for the office of United States Senator, the highest office in the gift of the people of our State. Controlled by the requirements of duty, I cannot leave ! the bench to go upon the hustings, | and I know that you will excuse my ; absence from the political meetings | now being held and that you will ; 4: ^permit me to adopt this mode of communication. If I should receive your favorable consideration, I can | ^ only promise to do my duty. My ; record is before you and it is for you ! to determine whether or not I am deemed worthy of this high honor. In State pol.t'cs, I belong to no clique or faction other than the Democratic party. _ I occupy the j same position that t*' "h, fairness and fidelity to the cause of Anglo-Saxon ; supremacy has always compelled me ; - to occupy, and that is the majority must rule. When the verdict has i. been rendered, all strife and conten- ! tion must; cease and at the general : el ction all Democrats should stand \ j together and work together for the j common weal. To this end I have j used my best efforts to reconcile the differences which have existed among our people, and I shall continue upon this linj. I have always deprecated j any unjust censure or abuse of our v pubiic officials. They are the servants of the people and should act so as to be above suspicion, and while they should always be held to a strict accountability, no one should ; be brought before the bar of public , opinion and condemned before being j heard In seeking your suffrages, } Sr I shall not descend to the low plane i of vituperation or abuse. Success | by the use of such methods is less to be decired than failure without them. I now beg and invite your attention to a short statement of my views on the important national questions now being agitated. k 1. The monetary question overshadows all others and its determination will result in the return of peace and prosperity, if truth and justice prevail; or in ruin and bankruptcy, if the blind worshippers of a single gold standard should succeed. Let j us return to the money of our forefarthers, the money cf the ConstitutioD, the money that made this j country the greatest under the sun;: and let gold and silver be both j * coined freely and without limit at a j ratio of sixteen to one as money of i redemption, with equal legal j Render power, without waiting for ! international agreement. If other j nations fall i?;to line, so much the better, but, if not, this nation should occupy the position cf independence justified by its power and required by the needs of its people. I do not Approve of the financial policy recently pursued b/ the general government in surrendering i's option to redeem its obligations in either gold or silver. It it had not b e for ihis blunder the necessity for issuing bonds would not have existed. % I advocate the enforcement of the Democratic doctrine of a tariff for revenue only. I am in favor of a graduated income tax and such amendments of the Constitution of | the United States as will permit j legislation to that end. The accu; mulation of the colossal fortunes by I a few people is a constant menace to our free institutions. The laws of J supply and demand no longer fix the value of the products of industry and | they are forced to agree to the uniust exactions of combined capital and, as a result, the rich grow richer and the poor become poorer. Something must be wrong and a remedy i must be found and speedily applied. I am in accord with Senator Tillman iu the positions assumed by hiin in the Senate, and if elected I shall supplement his able effoits to protect the rights of the people with such power as I may have and with all the earnestness of my nature. Trusting that I may at some future time have the opportunity to appear before you to discuss the issues involved, I am, Respectfully, Joseph H. Earle. Baptist Sunday School Convention.

From the Journal, Wilmington. Ohio. On one of the fertile farms of the rich Ohio Valley, seven miles from Wilmington, the county seat of Clinton Co., Ohio, and but a short distance from the small town of Melvin, their post office, in a cozy, little country home, resides John Arrasmith and his wife, Minnie. A few days since a representative of the Journal drove out to Melvin to see them. Iu the course of the conversation, Mrs. A. detailed the fact of her cure: "Last July," said she, "from undue exposure in my woik about the farm, I contracted malarial fever and rheumatism and suffered from the illness greatly. I could not throw it off, and although constantly attended by local physicians, continued to grow T i ? i r worse, jd cepiemuer 1 uau^uia jocic cold, which greatly increased my other troubles, and taking to my bed there I lay for months. The rheu matism grew more aggravated, and for eight long weeks prior to last Christmas I was perfectly helpless, my limbs below the hips being as if paralyzed and I having no more use of them whatever. I could not-help myself in any way, and was not able j to turn over in bed unless my husband j or some one else came and turned me. Medicine which the physicians left did no good, and nothing I could I take afforded any relief. I was discouraged and feared that never again would I be up and about the house. It was anything but a bright prospect j for I was but twenty years old, had i been married only two years and my j life was before me and to go through ' it a helpless cripple, a burden to my ' friends, was a fearful fate to think of. ! "I had read in the Wilmington j Journal from time to time, articles j telling of the wonderful cures which j had been effected by Dr. Williams' j Pink Pills, and had become impressed I with the cases where they had caused person to walk and recover who had | been as helpless as I was. Consult-! ing my husband, we determined to ( give them a trial. So he drove into j Wilmington and going to the drug ] store of George W. Brown, bought *11 t 1 1 _ 1_ three boxes 01 tne puis. 1 Degan taa- i ing them immediately on his return. That was about the first of the present year. Before the first box was gone I began to realize that I was getting better, and by the time I finished the j second box the pain with which I had been suffering for nearly six months and the disease which had j made me helpless for eight weeks disappeared entirely and I got up. , I took the third box of pills and have never felt a twinge of rheumatism j since, and I am doing my daily work and feeling as well as anybody." To confirm the story Mrs. Arra- i smith made the following affidavit: Sworn to before me'and subscribed I in my presence at Wilmington, Ohio, j this 29th day of June, 1895. C. Q.

A Lincoln county Confederate veteran called to see us one day this ; week and presented us with a cpy of the following little story, which first appeared in print in 1ST 1, and if at any time since, its droll, good j natured humor will excuse its reproduction here: "During the war a 'Confed' wes ' captured by the Yankees and hap pened to be taken to General Grant's i headquaiters. After being ques- 1 tioned by the General, the old 'Con- j fed' asked him where he was goiDg. ' I am going,' said Grant, 'to Itickmond, to Petersburg, to heaven and ! ! it ma}' be I will go to hell.'* After e^ing the General for several minutes, the old 'Coilfeu' I said: j "General Grant, you can't go to Richmond for General Lee is there; i you can't go to Petersburg for Gen- i eral Beauregard is there; you can't i | go to heaven for Stonewall Jackson is there? but as to going to hell, you ; may get there, for I know of no j Confederates in that region." "Why the "Water of the Sea is Salty. Very many years ago there lived in Europe a wise man who was all the time tryiDg, in his own way to make new discoveries in nature. He had noticed, as perhaps many of you have done, that in old tea kettles which have been in use a long time there is often a crust of stone about the sides and bottoms. "It is certainly stone,said he. "Now, there has been nothing but water put into this kettle, and whence has this stone come?'' Hp studied the matter carefully and fcr a long time, and then he came to the conclusion that the water had, by boiling, been changed into stone. To prove that this was true, he took clear, fresh water from a spring, and boiled it in a clean, new kettle. After a time, just as he expected, the sides and bottom of the kettle were covered with a layer of stone. "No one can now dispute the fact," said he. "Stone is made from hot water. If we could only produce enough heat, all the water of the ocean might be turned into solid rock.'' This was a very strange conclusion, i you will think; and so it was. But where did the stone in the tea kettle come from if it was not made out of ! the watei* Put a little salt into a basin of I water. After a little while you will see no salt in it, but all of the water will taste salty. The salt is so nearly the color of the water that one cannot see any change in the liquid?it looks as pure and fresh as when it * -i t a, ? was nrsi arawu lroui iuc tpiug. But taste the smallest drop of the water and you taste the salt also; for the salt has been divided into a great number of little particles, which float all through the water?thousands of them in every drop?and make it salty. If you had put indigo instead of salt into the water, every drop of the water would have been bluish, be cause it held many particles of indigo. Iu the same way a little sugar will sweeten a great deal of water. The sap or juice of the sugar cane, or the sugar maple is nothing but water, with many fine particles of sugar in it. When the water is boiled away, these particles remain behind as so much sugar. By boiling salt water we also obtain salt. The water goes away in the form of vapor or steam, and leaves the solid matter behind. If you had weighed the water before you put the salt in it, and had caught all the steam and held it until it had cooled into water agaiD, you would have found, on weighing it a second time, that no water had been lost; and you would have found that it did not taste of the salt. Also, if you had weighed the salt before put- ; ting it into the water, and then again after the water had been all boiled away, you would have discovered that none of it had been lost. There is a great deal of salt in the ground. There are also many other things which dissolve in water. When the rain falls from the clouds, it sinks into the earth and takes up these substances in small particles, just as you have seen water dissolve sugar and salt. When the water bubbles up in springs and runs down the rivers into the sea, it still holds the little particles of salt, or stone, or whatever they may be, and adds so much more?however little it may be?to that which the sea already contains. Thus it is that the water of the sea has become salty. When salty water is boiled, what becomes of the water? It escapes in the form of vapor or steam. Wh it 1 e ernes of the sail? It is left behind in the vessel. When water that is full of particles of stone boils away, what becomes of the stone? You will have no trouble now in telling where the stones which is found in the tea kettles comes from. ! You are wiser in that respect than ! the wise man of whom I told you, for you knoA* that stone is not made of water. "What forces the water to leave the particles of salt and other matter which is gathered from the earth? It is heat. It is by heat that it is ' driven off iu the form of steam or j vapor. This vapor goes up into the | air. When it there becomes so thick that we can see it, we call it fog or a i cloud. The clouds are blown by the wind into cooler regions of air, and the vapor condenses into drops and comes back to the earth in the form of rain. The rain drops sink into the ground and once more gather little particles of salt or stone, or some other mineral, which they carry down to the sea. Then they are again turned into vapor by the heat of the sun, anil again driven over the earth by the wind, to water the parched ground and gladden the farmer's heart by making his crop grow abund- ' antly. And this change is going on ' every day, all over the world, yet not j 1 a drop of water, not a particle of j matter of any kind, is gained cr lost. Now you not only know why a 1 layer of stone is found in old tea ( kettles, but you have learned why the water of the sea is salty, what be comes of steam or vapor, and what causes rain, By thinking a moment, 1 you will also be able to tell why we ' have salt springs and sulphur springs, ' and why the waters in different 1 springs and wells are so unlike. ' "i t five weeks I lived on cold water so to speak," writes a man who suffered terribly from indigestion. He could hardly keep anything on his stomach. What stayed wasn't v i t i L: properly aigesieu auu gave mui terrible pangs. This is not an uncommon case. Dyspeptics don't get enough nourishment. They are generally thin and week. They may eat enough, but they dont digest enough. Much of what they eat turns into poison. If this keeps on there's no telling what disease they may get next. That's why it is best to take Shaker Digestive Cordial, as soon as symptoms of indigestion appear. It cures all the evils of indigestion, and prevents the evil which indigestion causes.

Shameful Practices, Abbeville Press and Banner, i We learn that in some counties of South Carolina the candidates are being mulcted by unscrupulous people who carry around subscription papers for objects worthy enough in * themselves, but in which the candidate may not be specially interested. ] The carrying of a subscription paper i may imply one or two things: That * the recipients of the candidate's favor , will sell him their voles for the ( money extorted from him, or that the j people will vote against the candi- t date if he refuses to accede to their ( demands for money. The methods and plans of the highwayman are honorable and respectable when compared to the hypocritical people who would thus extort money from the < candidate. When a candidate is forced to give money from fear, or if ; it - 1 . e ? _ It He gives money in me nope 01 receiving votes thereby, somebody is corrupt, and somebody deserves the contempt of honest men. It is cowardly to combine against a candidate to extort money, and the general public should vote for no candidate if it be ascertained that he has attempted to buy votes. Let some voter at each public meeting ask each of the speakers if he has subscribed or otherwise given money to influence bis election. If any candidate should be discovered giving money duriDg the campaign to churches or benevolent purposes outside of his own church, let the public estimate such as ? ne in which cor- j ruption is the foundation. No can- ( didate who spends money in the canvass should be elected. If the offices are for sale, only the rich will receive the honors. Although it is said such disgraceful condition exists in some of the counties, yet we are glad to say that no such reprehensible practice prevails in Abbeville county. Any man can be a candidate in Abbeville county without fear of meeting a highwayman with a dirty paper which is designed to force money from him, and he need fear no threats of boycotts if he does not surrender his last dollar to an unconscionable beggar. Another shameless practice in other counties which meets with no favor in this county is that of poking around religious meetings that they never did and never would attend except during campaign years and to get votes. Pious and good men in this county suspect a man's motives at once when he begins to stick his face in among Christian worshippers. Christian people and the church j should resent any effort on the part ! of the candidate to use the church, i the Sunday schools, or other religious j ] meetings as stepping stones to po- | litical preferment. i i "Ye caDnot serve two masters." ! < If a candidate would prostitute the ! holy precincts of the church in ad- j vancing his chances for otllce, let the i Christian people mark him down as a j hypocrite. When a politician wants j to mis other people's religion with j | his politics, look out. A wolf is ' among you. Voters should not neglect to register. .o; ie . : .

"But,'' he said, "there would be a defection at the polls which it * would be impossible to prevent.
