SORES AMU ULCERS, Sores and Ulcers never become chronic unless the blood is in poor condition ? is sluggish, weak and unable to throw of! the poisons that accumulate in it. The system must be relieved of the unhealthy matter through the sore, and great danger to life would follow should it heal before the blood has been made pure and healthy and all impurities eliminated from the sys tern. S.S.S. begins the cure by first cleansing and invigorating the blood, building up the general health and removing from ne SyShT A CONSTANT DRAIN iffetematterl UPON THE SYSTEM. When this has been accomplished the discharge gradually ceases, and the sore or ilcer heals. It is the tendency of these old indolent sores to grow worse and worse, md eventually to destroy the bones. Local ipplications, while soothing and to some extent alleviate pain, cannot reach the seat if the trouble. S. S.

THE OLD RAIL FENCE. a the merry days of boyhood when we never knew a care rreater than the mumps or measles or a mother's cut of hair, rhen the sore toe was a treasure and a stone bruise on the heel 'illed the other boys with envy which they tried not to conceal. 'here were many treasured objects on the farm we held most dear, irchard. fields, the creek we swam in, and the old spring cold and clear; >ver there the woods of hick'ryaudoi oaks j so deep and dense, looming up behind ihe outlines of the old rail fence. n the rails the quail would whistle in the early summer morn, ailing to their hiding fellows in the field of waving corn, nd the meadow larks and robius on the stakes would sit and sing ill the forest shades behind them with their melody would ring, here the cat bird and the jay bird sat and called each other names, nd the squirrels and the chipmunks played chase-and-catch-nie games, nd the garter snake was often in unpleas- > ant evidence 1 the grasses in the corners of the old rail fence. s we grew to early manhood when we thought the country girls 1 the diadem of beauty were the very fairest pearls, ft from spellin' school or meetin' or the jolly shuckin' bee own the old lane we would wander with a merry little " 'he." n the plea of being tired (just the country lover lie), n a grassy seat we'd linger in the moonlight. she and I, nd we'd paint a future picture touched with colors most intense s we sat there in the corner of the old rail fence. here one night in happy dreaming we were sitting hand in hand, 'p so near the gates of heaven we could almost hear the band, Then she heard a declaration whispered in V?OCT AA^A.

'et the flame of love is burning in our bosoms as intense .s it burned in the corner of that old rail fence. Candidates for 1902. Candidates for State officers are >eginning to pop in the political fored2 beds. The Columbia Record atalogues some of them as follows: The latest candidate for Governor s Captain D. C. Hey ward of Colleton, le is a good citizen and has many riends in the State who have urged tim to make the race, and his candilacy has met with a very favorable eception by the press. Ex-Governor John C Sheppard, of Edgefield, will also be a candidate for Governor. He served a short term, mcceeding Governor Hugh S. Thomplon, who resigned to accept an ap>ointment in the treasury departnent at Washington. Since then jovernor Sheppard has been promi > ? ' il Ol I lent id political anairs in me otate, md he has a large cumber of friends .hroughout the State who will enthusiastically work for his election to he gubernatorial chair. Among other candidates for Governor will be Lieutenant Governor rillman, who i3 actually eDgaged in prosecuting his canvass. All the nembers of the former First regi nent are loyal friends to Colonel Fillman and it is said that almost to i man they will do active work in Lis aehalf. There is some talk about Governor McSweeney again being a candidate. While the sentiment against a third / I "W;>ii loao MAIN NTH ~?4 Solicits a St u ! term is pretty stroEg 111 tins state. Governor McSweeney's friends hold that he ha9 only been elected Gov| ercor orce by the people, and that | the portion of the term of the late j Governor Ellerbe he served does not j count as a term. The Governor has made no statement as to his inten tions, but his popularity has greatly fVi/"> Clfnfn 1-vt? Vila rcfnfiftl i UL/l CODCU III IUU MIUIV ks j u?u avamwi** to have a political canvass this year. Secretary of State Cooper is also an avowed candidate for Governor. Mr. Cooper is very popular in the State and will no doubt receive a strong support. Should he not be a candidate again for Secretary of State, the names of Colonel S. "W. Vance and Mr. J. T. Gantt, Chief Clerk, have been men ? M. it.. tionea id connection wild me oiuce. Neither has formerly announced his . caDdidacy. Attorney General Bellinger will be a candidate for Congress in Colonel Tolbert's district. He has a strong bold on the people of that district, and knowing politicians say he will stand a gocd chance of winning Assistant Attorney General U. X. Gunter, Jr., will be a candidate for Attorney General. He is well qualified to fill the position and his connection with the office makes him thoroughly familiar with his duties He has been for several years Secre fcary of the Democratic executive j Committee, and consequently is in close touch with the people of the State. It is reported that Speaker Stevenson will be a candidate also, i but this cannot be confirmed. It is not known whether Comptroller General Derham will be a candidate again or not. Even if he is, , there are indefinite reports about . several gentlemen throughout the the State, who fill the poeition of ( county Auditor or Treasurer, who will be candidates. But no definite ( announcements have been made. Treasurer JenniDgs will again be a candidate, and is not known whether bo will have opposition. General Floyd is thinking of running for Congress in the Fifth district. In case he does, it is said that Colonel Frost, Mr. G. Douglass Rouse of Charleston and perhaps others will be candidates. It may be that General Watts may take another flyer at the job. ( So, from this it will be seen that j there will be a considerable shaking up at the State house next year if 1 present plans are carried out. Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury. i As mercury will surely destroy the | i souse of smell and completely de- I raDge the whole system when enter- J ing it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputa- j ble physicians, as the damage they i will do is ten fold to the good you can ! possibly derive from them. Hall's j Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, 0 , contains no mercur^and is taken internally acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of tke system. In buying Hall's Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine. It is taken in- j ternally, and made in Toledo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Co. Testimonials free. Sold by Druggists 75c, per bottle. Hall's Family Pills are the best. An Unusual Caller. Columbia state, June z/tn. There was an unusual caller at the executive office yesterday morniDg. The caller was a very respectable looking colored woman, and she was accompanied by her mother. She wanted to ask the Governor to get her three-year-old child from her brutal husband who lives in Lexington. She stated that he had for the fifth time recently beat her with a stick and his fists in a most brutal I mauner and she had left him and j come back to her mother. He bad ! taken her little girl from her. Of I course she could get no aid, though | I w ~ I the Governor listened to her pathetic ) story. The husband will doubtless j soon be arrested and sent up for wife j beating. The ladies of Marion have begun to raise funds to erect a monument I to Confederate soldiers in the court 1 house square.

Benet, recently in the court of sessions for Charleston county, saw fit to say something further to the grand jury on the finding j of no bills in dispensary cases. The remarks were occasioned by j the handing of several indictment J for violation of the dispensary law. I Judge Benet reminded the jury that in all the other indictments given the cases were thrown out, adding : that the witnesses in the former cases were the same as in the present cases. "If you believe that a State constables is not to be believed because he is a State constable, you are vio- i lating your consciences," he said. "A heavy responsibility rests upon you. All of you have taken the oath 'so help me God,' and I again adjure you to do your duty. Apply the same rule and standard in the dis pensary cases as in the other cases If you apply other rules I leave the matter with you and your God.

There have been grand juries in Charleston who have done this. I speak from knowledge. I hope I am not speaking to such a grand jury.

Superintendent of State Exhtbits. The following letter ia self explanatory. Hod. W. H. F. Rast, Commissioner Lexington county, Swansea, S. C. Dear Sir: I have been appointed Superintendent of State exhibit at the South Carolina Inter State and West Indian Exposition by the South Carolina commission, created by act of the laBt General Assembly. I am dow ready to begin the work of collecting the county exhibit?, and aek your most earnest aid in this undertaking, for it is obligatory upon us to have this State's resources fully exhibited because this is "The South Carolina Exposition" and by its success or by its failure will we be judged by the world. Please permit me to urge that you personally begin now to solicit specimens for your county exhibit, for the time is passing for some itemp, especially sheaf grain. The only expense a county will incur in mak ing an exhibit is the collecting and loading into a car, or cars, and the arranging of the exhibit in the Palace of Agriculture. I will meet with your board between now and the first of August to give you all the aid and information you may need. Can I count on your support? Very truly yours, A. W. Love, Superintendent State Exhibits. ? Tried to Wreck a Train. Orangeburg Times and Democrat. June2f>. An attempt was made on last "Wednesday morning to wreck the t . . "l 11 througn Ireignt train ana iue passenger train on the Manchester and Augusta Railroad a few miles below Orangeburg. Several cross ties had been placed across the track and the freight struck them, damaging the engine considerably, it is said. Engineer Butler stopped his train and found several ties near the track. The train had knocked them aside. Passenger train 35 passing later had been notified of the attempted wrecking. When it passed the cross ties had been replaced on the track, but the train was stopped and the obstructions removed. The fellow i who did this is badly in need of ! some hemp. A Good Cough Medicine. Many thousands have been restorj ed to health and happiness by the use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. If afll cted with any throat or lung I trouble, give it a trial for it is certain to prove beneficial.

Prompt Attention. Octot Smallpox in Brookland. i j Columbia Evening Record. Magistrate Corley, of Brcokland, sent the following communication to | The Record yesterday, and it would ( ; have been published had it not mis- , i carried in the mails: i Editor The Record: I notice an I article appeared in your issue of the 1 24th inefc., "Compulsory Vaccination i ' Tr* r^nlr 4 r\ ccul 1 li-i J-/1UUOIOUU. JL!J iv euiu j i article must say that it certainly is i very annoying to the citizens of < Brookland and vicinity to be so mis- , erably misrepresented in tbis so | called smallpox epidemic. We con- j j fe83 that when the disease first api peared in the form of mild chicken- , pox the board of health perhaps did ] not take steps at once that probably they should have. But soon as the disease got a little more severe, and i the state board of beaith was notified of the fact, they sent beaith officers to investigate, and they pronounced the disease smallpox, and 1 left instructions to stamp the disease out. The local board of beaith and j the local physicians took up said ini structions and carried them out as ? best they could, in which I think j they have been very successful, as it v appears that at the time the health ^ ; officera were here, about si? or seven weeks ago, there were about seventyj five or eighty cases in the t)wn and a few outside the incorporation. ^ | Since that time and during this f ! last excitement of the last week, the ; disease has been reduced to Dot over c ; six cases, the cases beiDg in infected j ! families. Today I am informed that ? I there are not over four or five cases, ! and thev are convalescing aDd will , y - u [ soon be ont of any danger of ccm; municating the disease to aDy one. c ! The disease has been checked principally by quarantining infected houses and by ligidly enforcing fumigation c as vaccination seems to have very j little t ffect on the disease Parties f who have been recently vaccinated ; take the disease readily, and the a vaccination takes readily on persons who have had the disease recently. e Io reference to the disease outside ^ ! of the incorporation, will say that the disease has been in only three c : families. As scon as it fully devel: oped I telephoned the Governor and t was instructed by him to do what I j could to keep the disease from t : spreading. I had the families who had the disease quarantined and had ^ r- tr\ 4 r\ y r\ n A aa TTQQ LUfc) fcULLie piKCBUHUU ruiuivtu uo r??.o carried out in the town by fumigating, etc. At present there is no indication of the disease spreading at all.

A deplorable accident occurred at the Epworth orphanage in Columbia on June 26, in which a young boy lost his life. During a storm which passed over that city on the day mentioned, nine bojs sought refuge under a shed, which the violence of the wind brought down with a crash instantly killing Charlie Stack. Governor McSweeney announced some days ago that it was his intention to call a "Good Koadb" convention to meet some time during August.

The State geologist and his assistants, who are familiar with the aspect of ooAnnmiAAl Hpv^lonment. will be consulted before a date for the convention is made. The addition to the barracks Clemson makes room for 150 more boys. This increase in the number of students necessitated an increase in the teaching force, and the trustees recently elected the following additional teachers: Mr. IS. W. Reeves, of Marion, assistant professor of mathematics; Mr. Arthur B. RryaD, of B ?rnwell, tutor in English; Mr. J. E HuDter, of Newberry, tutor; Mr. Mark Bradley, of Abbeville, tutor. Little VernoD, the two year old eon of Mrs. E D. Humphries, of Union, passed through an experience recenT? which caused his parents considerable uneasiness for the time being. He wa3 playing with a four penny wire nail and^ Lia mother noticed him gagging and trying to get some thing from his throat. She knew he had swallowed the nail, bub she could do nothing. The nail passed down and the parents were very uneasy for the four days it remain* d in the child. They were overjoyed when they knew the child was relieved of the danger. It was sharp pointed, and the child had a narrow escape. All of Dr. Boyd's remedies are for sale at the Bazaar.
