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

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

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. After two j
applications of this Kemedv I was
much better, aDd after usiDg one
bottle, was completely cured.?Sallie

Things "Worth Knowing.
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.

The Orphanage.
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. P. J. R.
