W. n. Ohley, Ex-Secretary of State of | West Virginia, writes an open letter. Charleston, W. Va , Mar. 0.1 si>8. To /toot it may concern : "I most heartily recommenfl Pe-ru-na as of great l)enetit in eases catarrh. It is especially beneficial wherever the mucous membranes are affected. As a tonic it certainly has no superior." W. II. Uhley, Ex-Secretary of State. Bon. W.~H.^Ohlet. Pe-ru-na ha*- cured thousands of obstinate cases of catarrh, and is perhaps the only efficient remedy in existence for catarrhal diseases; but there are counties^ multitudes of people who are still struggling with catarrh and need help To such as these the unqualified recommendation of Pe-ru-na by ExSecretary Ohley is directed.

London, July 15.?It is announced ill a special dispatch from Barcelona this afternoon that the inhabitants of that city are panic-stricken. They believe tho Americans will select defenseless Barcelona as the first point to bombard. The local banks are removing their specie to the country, the merchants are sending their goods to places of safety and many of the citizens are leaving. The governor of Barcelona have informed the people that they cannot expect help from the government. LEAVING CADIZ. Cadiz, July 15.?There is great excitement here owing to the expected coming of Commodore Watson's squadron. Many are leaving. The Spanish mail steamer plying between this port and Tangier will cease to run next week. IN A MUDDLE. LondoD, July 1G.?The Gibraltar correspondent of the Daily News says: A naval battle off the Spanish coast is considered imminent. The suspension of the constitutional guarantees is a symptom of the distracted condition of Spain. The nation wants peace; the army wants a victory. Spain cannot continue to struggle, yet peace will be the signal for revolution, and the European intervention which was formeily dei sired, is now dreaded. "The government, through El Epoca, advocates direct negotiations with the United States. The military press indignantly J characterizes peace as treason, j Wealthy families are deserting Cadiz, I Seville and Malaga. Supplies are | I shipped from here to the American consul at Tangier/' "Our customers say ycu manufacture three of the best remedies on earth," said the mercantile firm of Haas, Harris, Brim & LcLain, of Dawson, Ga., in a recent letter to the Chamberlain Medicine Co. This is the universal verdict. Chamberlain's Pain Balm is the finest preparation in the world for rheumatism, J neuralgia, lame back, quinsey, sore ; throat, cuts, bruises, burns, scalds, | pains and swellings. A 25 cent bot| tie of this liniment in the house, will i save a great deal of suffering. Buy j ! it at J. E. Kaufmann's drug store. | "Does your wife do much fancy woihT "Fancy work?

Scene To Bo Long Remembered? The Landing of the Prisoners from Cervera's Fleet?Men in a Pitiful Condition?BeiDg Cared For. Portsmouth, N. H., July 11.?The Spanish prisoners who were brought to this port in the auxiliary cruiser St. Louis from Santiago, numbeiiDg 692 of the men who formed part of the crew of Admiral Cervera's squadron, are tonight sleeping peacefully and in comparative comfort in the new barracks erected for them on Seavj's island. Around them is a guard of 125 marines, the pick of the corps of the marine barracks on the Atlantic coast. It was a pathetic eight from beginning to end, and such as would bring tears to many eyes. The poor wretched creatures struggled up the hilliside, clad for the most part in rage, some of the men being covered only with the fragments of a table cloth or a blanket, while others had on portions of what was once a uniform. When the men landed some of them were so weak that they could not stand and laid on the ground until stretchers were brought and by the aid of their comrades were carried to the main road, where they were placed on the grass. Many of the prisoners had wounds that were still unhealed and their heads and arms showed the effects of the terrible battle in which they fought. The crew of the Cristobal Colon were landed in a body. They were better clad and evidently better fed than the other men, for they bore a resemblance of the Spanish sailor in make-up. Thirty members of the Colon's crew, however, were severely wounded and had to be carried on stretchers. The unloading of the motley crowd was witnessed by thousands of people on shore and in boats, and it may be said with all sincerity that during the two hours occupied with the task not a sneer or a jeer was heard, ncr an act performed which might have given offense to the men. The most interesting part of the landing of the men W39 the dutv O f performed by Capt. E. Diaz Morrou of the Cristobal Colon, the once hearty and jovial sailor, the favorite j captain of the Spanish navy, standing on the -height near where the men came ashore, clad in a tattered uniform of white duck trousers and blue coat, book in hand, the mustering officer of the Spanish prisoners. His heavy voice called out the names i of the prisoners and credited each to the vessel to which the individual wa9 once a member. When the muster out, as it seemed to be, was finished, the men were formed in line and marched into the temporary barracks, which will serve as a prison for them. Of the number landed 40 have been taken to the hospital suffering for the most part from wounds, while not a few are victims of minor ills. One of the most touching incidents of the day was the farewell Gapt. Morrou took of his crew before he went back to the St. Louis. Few who saw the tenderness with which the former bighearted and jovial commander walked down the line and affectionately embraced each seaman as if he was his only son, could refrain from tears. Capt. Morrou turned to the American officer and asked permission to say a few parting words to his men. The requst was readily granted, but Capt. Morrou, instead of makirg a formal and eloquent address to the long line, walked up to the ruan at the head of it, and, taking him warmly by the hand, tenderly kissed the grim sailor on the cheek. When the men saw the action of the commander they wept as if their hearts would break, and as the captain walked down the line, shaking each by the hand and kissing each sun| burned cheek, each man threw his i arms around his commander's neck i and gave him a hearty embrace. When finally the captain reached I the end of the long line, he turned, j and in a voice shaking with emotion, I said a few words of farewell to the )ODS T, TIE3., J^L^tTa lago. Prompt and crew 89 a whole. As he fiDished the half-clad men surrounded him, grasping his arms and legs, all trying for one last embrace. A "Farmer's" Estimate of South Carolina's Chief Executive. To the Editor of The Register: The primary voters of South Carolina prefer reasons more tangible than has yet been adduced by opposing candidates and subsidized sheets assuming to be newspapers, why Governor Ellerbo should be dumped to make place for others who may or may not be brimful of au unselfish patriotism. Unproven charges made by enemies who so much want to be Governor, like the deceptive boomerang, will return with merited punishment upon the heads of those who send them forth. Were it possible to defeat Governor Ellerbe, would his successor in any way do that which would be more acceptable and better for the people? No! Then give Dim ii seconu term, uoi siijjpjj iu compliance with the second term rule, but because be has done his duty well in a firm, conciliatory Chiistian spirit. It is not strange that those who so much want to serve the "dear people" can see so many motes in the Governor's eyes. No special beer or liquor privileges should be given to hotels or any one else, and the Governor is thanked for his action in this matter and the voters will stand by him. There is much to commend in Governor Ellerbe. He is sober; pays his debts; without prejudice as Governor; executes the laws as he finds them ou the statute books, and is a consistent member of the church. Less than these unfits any man for an office of any kind. Farmer. A Carolina Orator, The Augusta Evening Herald. The campaign in South Carolina has developed a genuine orator. We repeat that in the present contest we have no other interest than that the best man could win. We now speak, not of the military qualifications of the gentleman in question? however great they may be?but of the eloquence which has recently proved a revelation to the historic old Palmeto State, so distinguished for oratory. This rare and surprising gift belongs to Hon J. W. Floyd, who is a candidate for the position of Adjutant and Inspector General of the State, to succeed Gen. John Gary Watts, the present incumbent. Mr. Floyd entered the race practically an unknown quantity. But he has been heard from since. Every where his fervid, impassioned sty!?, as well as his empty sleeve, awakens the wildest enthusiasm. He has a fine, sonorous voice, easily heard and deeply penetrating. He stirs his audience whereever he appears. Gen. Watts has rendered efficient service to the State, but he makes no pretence to oratory and it is freely predicted that Mr. Floyd may yet succeed in winning out. He would render valuable service to the State, for be knows the art of war practically and theoretically. Hcw's This!

To the Editor of the Dispatch: The dry spell has ended and showers have refreshed the needy crops and gave driDk to the thirsty ground, and now ends in a very cool, windy spell of rainy, cloudy weather. The wives of two American soldiers, viz: Mrs. Lawrence Jacobs and Mm. Virgil Rucker have been seriously ill. Mrs. Jacobs suffering from continued fever, and intensified by an inflamed arm from vaccination was a severe t ufferer for several days, but und?r the diligent and skilfull attendance of Dr. Brooker, is up again. Mrs. Rucker is still a severe sufferer and to all human appear ances the worst my not be reached yet. She leaves today, attended by her phjsician, Dr. Langford, to secure treatment at the hospital in Columbia. She has many friends here whc anxiously await the result. Dr. De.niel Hilderbrand who was paralyzed last year and whose case was considered very critical, delighted his friends here yesterday, by his genial presence among us, but the hoary head and the snowy plumage of the beard, indicate that the alloted time of his sojourn is not very distant even at his best estate. Capt. Ttios. Oliver was in town this week. While nearing Lis three score and ten, Capt. Oliver in conversation and spirits is still a young man, but nothing so betrays him as the white head and the silvery beard. He is always surrounded by an atmosphere of pleasantry and mirth that many a younger surley, sour, discontented spirit might very well imitate. We are always glad to see him and meet that natural, pleasant "good morning, sir." The protracted meeting of the Baptist church here has ended after ten days good preaching.

Proceedings of the Democratic Executive Committee. The executive committee, at its meeting July 7th, decided upon the following assessments for the various candidates: Representatives $5each; Judge of Probate and County Supt. of Education, each $5; Auditor, Treasurer and Supervisor, each $10. Each candidate will have to pay in this amount to the Treasurer on or before August 10,1898, and to the defeated ones will be returned all in excess of $2.50. The chairman and secretary were instructed to apportion the assess* ments of the Magistrates among the different districts according to the salaries paid, so as to raise $16 from the eight districts. Of these assessments all will be returned to the defeated candidates except 50c. each. The official ticket, with the names of all the candidates printed thereon, with instructions to voters to erase names of all not voted for, was adopted, and will be furnished by the committee. The messengers will be paid 50c. per day and 5c. per mile one way, ft r and returning with boxes. The campaign meetings were fixed as follows. Leesville, August 10, 1898. RisbtoD, (C. R. Rishes,) August 12. Swansea, August 13. Brookland, August 17. Irmo, August 18. ChapiD, August 19. The committee ordered that all assessments must be paid to Samuel B George, Treasurer, on or before August 10,1898, and that all pledges must be filed with C. M. Efird, Chairman, on or before said date. The State campaign meeting, by order of the committee, will be held in the town of Lexington. Members of the Executive Committee, who have not done so, must send the Chairman the names of the managers for the first primary, before the l9t day of August. County Farmer's Institute. A Farmers' Institute, under the direction of President Henry S. Hartzog and other members of the Faculty of Clemson College, will be held at Lexington, S. C , July 25, 1898. All citizens are cordially invited to be present. Of subjects to be discussed mention may be made of the following: Fertilizers, truck farming, drinking water, animal husbandry, dairying, improvement of soils, industrial education, grasses and legumes, entomology, road improvement, and other interesting practical subjects. Thousands of persons have been cured of piles by using DeWitt's Hazel Salve. It heals promptly and cures eczema and all skin diseases. It gives immediate relief. J. E. Kaufmann. We are commanded to let our light shine before men; the man with the red nose keeps his light shining before himself. The highest tree in the world is at Dudenong, in Australia. It is a gum tree. It stands 450 feet bich, and is still growing. 'T think DeWitt's Hazel Salve is the finest preparation on the market for piles." So writes John C. Dunn, of Wheeling, W. Ya. Try it and you will think the same. It also cures eczema and all skin diseases. J. E. Kaufmann. He must be a person of very insignificant standing who is always standing upon his dignity. Ever since Rebecca met Jacob at the well, mothers have been taking their marriageable daughters to watering places. Sick headache, billiousness, constipation and all liver and stomach troubles can be quickly cured by using those famous little pills known as DeWitt's Little Early Risers. They are pleasant to take and never gripe. J. E. Kaufmann. T A, I* L ? lv? 4 V* e\ 4 A VA IT?
