Patterson was tbe first speaker Thursday in the gubernatorial tourney. He discussed briefly Ihe failure of the legislature to appropriate f jnds for common schools after taking dispensary profits from them. He *made his same dispensary speech. He said that the prohibition proposed is but the dispensary law without the beverage feature. The rich will then send off out of the State for liquor aDd the poor will patronize blind tigers. Maine sells more liquor unlawfully than South (Jarolina does lawfully. Uol. Jioyt charges all the crime in South Carolina to the dispensary. The attorney general of Maine attributes rascality there to prohibition. Repeated bis old charges of coalition. Said that McSweeney is not a friend of the dispensary, They were at the I-sle of Palms together on Sunday and there were a hundred men sitting around drinking beer and McSweeney has the face to say that he didn't know there was a blind tiger there. An alderman in Charleston is running a blind tiger. McSweeney has never caused the bar fixtures to be seized. Patterson received a modicum of applause. m'sweekey's message. frnv. MoSweenev was not here. He sent the following: "A bouDciog baby boy arrived at the mansion early this morning. Request county chairman to present my best wishes to the Democracy of Florence and my regrets at not be ing able to attend meeting." The reading of the message was applauded. hoyt's hand primary. CM. Hojt took a primary Thursday, the first one since Patterson's dismal failure at Walterboro. Col Hoyt was received with cheering. H- was forced to omit discussion of other issues and confine himself to the liquor question, as his opponents had devoted so much time to him. Patterson interrupted Col. Hoyt once and the crowd cheered the colonel. Patterson had claimed that ninetenths of the people driDk liquor. Col. Hoyt disputed it. Patterson?Take a hand primary. Hoyt?Why didn't you do it? The colonel took a hand primary to see how maDy in the audience drank liquor. The number of fists up was absurdly small and the crowd howled for Hoyt. Hoyt then said that Patterson had said that the crowd was sober because the dispensary was closed The colonel pronounced this a slander on the people of Florence and the crowd cheered again. If prohibition is a farce, why did Patterson advocate it in 1892? And does he support the dispensary now because, as he says, "the majority of the people favor ii?" Col. Hoyt read a denunciation of the dispensary written by the Rev. W. R. Richardson of Columbia, and when he came to a paragraph where it was said that small politicians use it to ride into office, the crowd cheered again. Would Patterson refuse the support cf papers if they came to his rp6cue?for he needs rescue? Would Patterson accuse ihem of being subsidized if tbey supported him? The News and Courier is too busy booming the exposition to notice the State campaign editorially. Perhaps if Editor Hemf.hill knew that Patterson is a candidate, he would support bim, Col. Hoyt remarked sarcastically. The couse of Mr. X G GoDzales : is as truly independent in this campaign as it has been in everything. Wi? Gonzales' support of Eilerbe m 1808 a failurt? Gonzales supports hiui on other grounds. "Read his editorial and you will see something not very compliiientary to you, sir," he said to Patterson. Patterson retorted that in the constitutional convention he had introduced a resolution charging X. G. G rnz des with falsehood against John G trj Evans and 123 delegates of all factious had supported it. Col. Ho\t said he was not Mr. : Gotz Jet," champion,but he w as quite ; f-ure Patterson would not face fci*u 1 (Gor z-ilet) and use the langage he did here today. Patterson said he had said the H ItSSO j\IA.IlV STI p;p[ Solicits a SI i L _ _ L |M m mlm m >|H | , vlM |au ?MMOn same thing in the constitutional con | vention, pointing his finger at Gon I zales at the time. Col. Hoyt retorted that if Patter fon had done so it bad been undei . j the protection of his privilege as a i member of the convention. Patterson replied that Gonzales had opportunity to see him after| wards. During the controversy there was ! | cheering at the conclusion of every \ ! thrust made by Col. Hoyt, while Pat, J terson had no applause. | As Col. Hoyt concluded, Mr. Pettii j grew presented him with a bouquet j with the statement that the ladies of , | Florence looked for manliness in the I \j(i) Vt?l JLJUl o ii uc ncic cicutcu. whitman's geography. "Walt Whitman exhibited a map of South Carolina and said that three of the candidates for Governor come from a bunch of counties down on the Savannah. Walt said Gary had asked bim where he was during the war. Walt replied that he was only j 12 years old when the war broke out,1 but he plowed an old blind mule to make bread and meat for thesoldierr,1 and two of his brothers shed their blood in the cause. What had Gary j and Patterson and McSweeney done for the old soldiers whom they so profess to love? He put tie lau^h on Col. Hoyt. The latter had admired Walt's ability to fashion anew platform every day. Walt said Col. Hoyt had only one, a miserable old thing. He would not tackle JPatter- jt | son as the latter was in such a mis-j* i erable fix already. McSweeney was i not here and he could not hit him in j t the back as he is lame and sick unto i death anyway. He helped out:c Brooker in his charges against the c tax department of the State. He j t 1 was tired of the hquor question. He e would rather drink it than to talk ? about it. (Laughter) t \ He too held a hand primary in op- j I position to Col. Hoyt's and the result ? | was that there were but three in the c | audience who thus indicated that, ^ ! J they do not take "booze." Thelauth: I was on the Colonel. 1 GARY WELL RECEIVED V ! Mr. Gary was received with some ; demonotration. He was glad that | Pee Dee and Piedmont are alike? ^ J progressive and steadfast to the landmarks of Democracy. He declared that it was false that he had . tried to inject partisan politics into the campaign. He had too many ^ friends in all former factions. A few days 8go an editorial appeared in a leading daily paper calliDg on the people to vote against him because he was a prominent Tillman-' ite. He deprecated this departure from the understanding among Den . j crats to obliterate party lines. He , v ; himself had kept the faith. In pub-1 lie life he had known no Tillmanite, no anti-Tillmanite. He argued; against the practicability of enforcing 1 1 prohibition and declared in favor of j the dispensary, with allowances to i the counties wanting prohibition. Col. Hoyt had said that the dispensary had brought the State into de- . gradation and dirt. Gary asked what is the state of degradation. | God forbid the day when free liqucr ^ I will come into South Carolina. Col. l # c ; Hoyt might not be in the coalition, but the result of his election would 1 ? mean a riot of blind tigers. ( Gary wa3 applauded when he said j that he was an oiiginal advocate of . j the dispensary, aDd although it has ; broken from its original moorings it | is jet the best solution of the liquor j question. He favored the common ^ schools and especially institutions for industrial training. He was . liberally applauded. ^ j - ] j Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that i Contain Mercury.

China and its dependencies have a ;otal area of 4,218,401 square miles md a population of 302 680,000. .To irea it includes nearly one-twelfth of 1 he total area of the globe, while its i copulation includes nearly one-third * )f all the people in the world. As | iompared with the United State:?, 1 be latter's island possessions being * (xcluded. China has 800,000 more i iquare miles of territory and more 1 ban five times as many inhabitants. 1 rhe population of China proper per * quare mile is 292; that of the Stale ' >f Rhode Island is 254, and that of 1 Cexas six. 1 China is the land where everything * 8 upside down. Thus in Canton the 1 vomen act as sailors, and boatmen, J vhile the men are employed as t ihambermaids, laundresses, an! I eamstresses. In salutation the j c Chinaman shakes his own hand in- j t tead of that of his visitor. As a { 1 emark of respect he puts his hat oa j nstead of taking it tff. Thtir sign- j 1 >oards are perpendicular instead of 1 1 lorizontal. In reading Chinese pric t K t is necessary to begin at the right I i land side at the bottom and read to j ( he left and up.

In most countries the i ieatbeci is surrounaei toy weeping relat.vas, and often a minister and a doctor are present. In Coiua the i dying are crrried out of the house 1 and left alone in some vacant space i ' to die. There are three principd religions j in China?Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. The latter is almost without forms and ceremonies, cot: GOODS eoip OXT, CTE3., Patronage. Polite anc sisting chiefly in study aod contemplation of the teachings and works of the ancient9. Buddhism and Taoism both have elaborate and splendid ceremonials. Taoism is the older. Buddhism having mide its appearance in China about 1,800 years ago. It is now the religion of almost eighttenths of the people. In the northeast and southwest there are 30,0'JO,000 Mohammedans. The Roman Citholics have more than 1,000,000 adherents and support twenty-nine bishoprics. The converts of all the protestant churches are estimated to number not more than 50,000. Back in the remote interior of the kingdom the hill trib?s are still nature worshipers or heathen. At a grand dinner the Chinese begin with sweetmeats and conclude with soup. Tbey sit sometimes at table for five or six hours, with a midway interval or recess, duriug j which bowls are brought iu and the j members of the party wash their hands and heads in hot water. Fricaseed dog is a favorite dish, a special breed of poodles being raised for eating purposes. Stewed rat is another delicacy, and the Chinese are also fond of eggs when they have passed the point where even the cold storage man could call them fresh. Sharks' fins, bird nests, peacocks' livers, green giDger, cocks' combs, and fowls' hearts and brains are dishes which might be found on the menu of a high-class Chinese barquet. During the year 1898 China imported from all foreign nations goods valued at .$14.6,000,000 During the same year the exports of China amounted to ?118,000,000. is an evidence of which nation has the greatest interest in China so far rs trade and commerce go it may b? stated that of the total of Chinese mports Great Britian and its colo tries supply goods to the amount of Bill,000,000, while of the exports it 3uy8 about $60,000,000, or more ban one balf. Most of the English ,rade with China is transacted -brough the B.itish crown colony of Songkong, which was ceded to Great Britian by China in 1841. During -he same year the United States imported goods from China to the value >f $13,000,000 and sent back in relurn American goods valued at a ittle more than $9,000,000. If the Chinose themselves are to >e believed, the Chinese empire has peen in existence for more than 100,100 years. Other students say that t was founded 2,500 years before Christ, and by some Fohi, supposed o be the Noah of the Bible, is conidered the founder.

In 1662 a general earth[uake shook the empire aDd more . ban 300,000 people were killed at ' ?ekin alone. Commercial relations retween China and Russia began in 71Q The policemen of Pekin are, or, at east, were, armed chitfly with small Irums, which they beat loudly in jrder, it is presumed, to let burglars ind other marauders know that they ire coming. All night long the i vatchmeu beat their way around the streets, and as a natural cons< quence ire said to make few arrests. The pigeons of Pekin have each a ight whistle tied to their tails, vhich gives forth a loud sound as hey fly. Sometimes five or six vbistles of different tones are attached, and the result is a more or ess melodious confusion of souuds. The blind, and in Ttkin blind men md women are numerous, also use Irums to announce their coming and warn other people to get out of their way. By the difference in the sound is it is reflected back from walls cr pavements it is said that the blind Ouinamen can always locate themselves exactly, so that they need no J fjuide. The beggars of Pekin are another i peculiar institution. They are or- ! rrqi.v/-d nnd have a ruler nf their own, whose orders they are quick to obey. Sometimes a group of the beggars will gather in front of a merchant's store and make such an infernal racket that he i3 glad to bribe them to go away. Another method of extorting money is for a ANY, ^T^a-iEiEe, COLUMBIA, N I Prompt Attention. 0 beggar to go to a merchant orhou3e ; holder and announce that unless he I is promptly paid one or two dollars j he will commit suicide on bis victim's I doorstep.

The commencement of the estab| lisbment of the so-called ''spheres of j influence" in China was in 1897, when the Germans seized the port of Kiau Chau, on the east coast of ShantuDg, and during the next month secured from the Chinese a lease for ninety-nine years of the town, haibor, aud district. Two months later Russia got possession of Port Arthur and TalienwaD, with their adjacent waters, on a lease for t venty-tive years, with the privilege of renewal. Within the boundaries of the leased territory, which are as yet undefined, Russia has supreme control.

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard N.C. It may be a question whether the editor of a newspaper has the right to publicly recommend any of the various propiietary medicines which flood the maiket, yet as a preventive of suffering we feel it a duty to say a good word for Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known and used this medicine in our fami'y for twenty years aDd have always found it reliable. In many cases a dose of this remedy would have save hours of suffering while a physician is awaited. We do not believe in depending implicity on any medicine for a cure, but we do believe that if a bottle of Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand and administered at the inception of an attack much suffering might be avoided and in very many cases the presence of a physician would not be required. At least this ha? been our experience during the past twenty years. For sale by J. E Kaufmann. ? Irish Potatoes and Bots. So far as known the juice of Irish potatoes is better calculated to cause the bot to let go the lining of the stomach than auy remedy that can, with safety, be given the horse. The juice does not kill the bots, but causes them to become numb. Hence they curl up and let go, and the hjrse is relieved frem his bots. Six to twelve tubers will furnish enough juice, when scraped, to relieve the worst case. A Night of Terror.
