The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, April 23, 1902. The Political Field. Great Still Hunt for All State Offices Going Vigorously On. Colombia Afternoon Record. For sometime back ttie county | papers every week have been ancounc ing that "Col. So and So, candidate for Governor," or some of the other State or Federal offices was in "our midst this week shaking bands with his numerous friends." This would seem to be the peculiar prerogative of the county candidates, the State candidates awaiting the regular cam paign meeting to do their handshaking and baby kissing. But this year a great many of them have been making a still hunt for the offices, and some of them have been doing so for months. Hardly a county has not been visit ed by these candidates and hardly a day passes that some of them do not pass through the city en route to various sections of the State. Candidates for Governor and United States Senator have been quite active along this line, but those running for other offices have taken up the plan. Some candidates for Railroad Commissioners are paying out much in railroad fares now in the hope that they will not have to do it after the election. Candidates are keeping close watch on the newspapers, and no matter where any little cros3 road meeting is held, some cf tfctm are sure to be there. The reason for all this preliminary campaigning perhaps is that candidates feel that they will have very little individual showing in the campaign meeting owning to the army of aspirants for office. But the like of it has never been seen before in this State. Another thing that is interesting politicians is the address that Senator Tillman is to make at Manning on the 25th. Politicians do not exactly understand what reason there is in the Senator's leaving his duties at Washington to make a political speech in this State at present. It is surmised by some of tbem tbat the enthusiasm of the reception of the President in this State was not so pleasant to the inoinnafcrl t H Q f. t h P ''in - UCLiniVJi ^ n uv iu?iuu^w v? I.umv VUN/ ?w suit" to him by the President would S be resented. It is thought the Senator may want to counteract the favorable impression made by Roosevelt in the State. Anyway the Senator may be depended upon to stir up the animals and enliven things generally. Better Than Pills. The question has been asked, "In what way are Chamberlain's Stomach & Liver Tablets superior to pills?" Our answer if-: They are easier and more pleasant to take, more mild and gentle in effect and more reliable as they can always be depended upon. Then they cleanse and invigorate the stomach and leave the bowels in a natural condition, while pills are more harsh in effect and their use is often followed by constipation. For jsale by J. E. Kaufmann. ?*? Our Foreign Trade. Washington, April 18 ?Chief of the Bureau of Statistics has given out a statement saying that there is no cause for anxiety at the fifty-nine million dollar reduction in exports - ? t and tne increase oi weveut^-ijiLitj millions in imports. He said the causes of the reduction of the export figures were so clearly due to abnormal conditions that the falling cff does not indicate decrease popularity of American products abroad, or a reduction of demand for them. The chief reduction in exports is traceable to the drought last year. A Needed Reform. Colleton Press and Standard. The number of counties in the State that want a special term of court is surprisingly large and is an evidence that tb9 machinery of the judicial branch of the State government is badly out of gear and needs legislative inquiry so that the defects oa.rt hfi found and the remedy pro vided ?Lexington Dispatch. This is a pertinent and timely observation. The continuation of cases I ||P{|!i^^?||as||j| ' r Pain in the head and hack " is a form of suffering with which so many women are familiar. Often this pain is associated with nervousness, sleeplessness and loss of appetite. The cause of such suffering is generally to he traced to derangement of the womanly function, or a diseased condition of the delicate womanly organs. In such cases the action of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is marvelous in the prompt relief of pain and permanent cure of disease. It regulates the periodic function, dries disagreeable drains, heals inflammation and ulceration, and cures female weakness. It cures when all other means have been tried in vain. Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. All correspondence is held as strictly private and sacredly confidential. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, X. Y. In a little over thirty years Dr. Pierce, assisted by his staff of nearly a score of physicians, has cured more than half a million women. ?I was a great sufferer for six years and doctored all the time with a number of different ph vsicians, but did not receive any benefit." writes Mrs. George Sogdeu, of 641 Honda Street, Saginaw (South), Mich. ''One day as I was reading a paper I saw your advertisement, and. although I had given up all hope of ever getting better, thought I woula write to you. When I received your letter, telling me what to do, I commenced to take your * Favorite Prescription ' and follow vour a'dvice. I have taken ten bottles in all, also five vials of the ' Pleasant Pellets.' Am now regular after having missed two vears and suffered with pain in the head and back. I was so nervous, could not eat or sleep. Now I thank vou for my recovery," Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure biliousness. from lime to time accounts, of course, for their accumulation. It would, however, probably be difficult for the legislature to enact a taw which would remedy the "defect'' as the Dispatch calls it. Close irquiry would disclose the fact that only in rare instances are there more cases for tiial at particular term of our courts than could be finally disposed of. But the lawyers often prefer, for different reasons, to have cases continued. The result is that in a year or two the dockets are crowded and if they are cleared special terms are necessary. Turkish Atrocities. Constanople, April 16.?News ha9 been received of the massacre by Turks and Kurds of three hundred Christians at Diabekir, Kurdesten A band of roving Armenians recently appeared near the town and the authorities sent Ibrahim Pacha, the bead of the Kurdish irregulars, to disperse them. The irregulars pursued the Armenians some distance, attacking Armenian villages en route. Finally the Ibrahim party was forced back, and just as they reached the town, seeking reinforcements, the Armenians opened fire. Heavy fightiog lasted sometime. Then the T/MM.orto/1 of nr?f Koinrr qHIo fn XI.U1U"- DUiagCU av uuu ?V force the Armenians back, turned into the Christian quarter of the town and killed unmercifully. Many Turks and Kurds were also killed. ^ ^ G-ood for Bkeumatism. Last fall I was taken with a very j severe attack of muscular rheuma- j tism which caused me great pain and annoyance. After trying several prescriptions and rheumatic cures, I decided to use Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which I had seen advertised in j the South Jerseyman.

Details as to the organization of j the American Hominy company have been made public. The company has a capitalization of $1,250,000 preferred stock and ?2,500,000 common stock. Eight big companies, mostly in the West, have joined in the combination. Among the objects of the corporation are: To manufacture, produce, adapt and prepare, and to buy, sell and otherwise deal or traffic in hominy, brewers' grits, corn meal, feeds, sugar, oils and other substances, and all other products and buy-products derived from corn and other grains and vegetable products and any mix tures and compounds thereof, etc. To Cure a Cold in One Day Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

Many are not aware that copper kettles and boilers may be kept as j bright as gold by washing every day i in butter milk and rubbing with a I flannel cloth. Leather coverings on chairs that I have become dingy may be refreshed ; by rubbing with a well beaten white ! of an egg. To wash windows use but little l water on the glass and no soap at all, ! only a small amount of bor^x. Squeeze the cloth or sponge almost dry and wipe each pane at once wiib a piece of soft cheese clotb: old news! papers are excellent to polish gla-s If the windows are very dirty, use kerosene or alcohol and a little whiting to clean ihera. It is said that if lamp wick3 are j soaked in vinegar before they are used, they will never smoke, and I smoke stains will be removed from lamp chimneys by the application of j vinegar and salt. In cleaning white paint rub with a white flannel rag, first moistened ! with warm water ana then dipped : in whiting. Apply it to the paint j and very little rubbing will remove [ dirt and grease, then wash with clear, warm water and rub with chamois. To clean silk handkerchiefs lay them on a smooth board, and rub with the hand, wet in stroDg warm borax water; rinse in clear water and shake dn; do not iron but fold and | put under weight. A lump of washing soda the size ; of an egg laid over the drain pipe of i the sink will cut the grease that goes down and prevent it from caking and clogging. To clean hard wood furnishings or ' " ' ------ ?* ? l i ? | iurniture, use a mixture uau luipeutine and half crude oil, apply with a flannel rag and polish with a clean piece of the same. ^ j Ask Tour Dealer for Allen's, Foot-Ease, A powder for the feet.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: Cod never out a better thing in the minds of good men and women than the orphan home. Think of 125 j children whose fathers and mothers lie cold in the grave and their help! less children have no one to care for them. But the good men and wo* rv > * ? 1 Mi. 4.1 I men oi tne scare nave ouut tuem a | home and the best of Christians have the dear little children in hand and not a dollar to take care of them, ! only what the good people give them, | yet through the kind hand3 of God they are cared for. It will take at least ten or fifteen thousand dollars a year to take care of them. There is not a dollar appropriated by the State, county or churches, yet the good people of all churches and many who are not members of any church, send in the necessaries of life and the little ones are fed. May God bless every home which helps these little ones. Sunday after Sunday I go and see these little lambs, and I meet the kind Christian women and men who have charge of them. I cannot help but say God bless every home that help9 to take care of them The Bible says faith without works is dead. You may have faith in the orphan home, but unless you send them something to take care of them your faith is dnad. Yours truly, P. J. Rucker. P. S. I would suggest as express is cheaper on large boxes and since so many people are not able to pay themselves, let churches and all societies all over the State club together and send in their contribuI t;ons.
