"I have not the slightest hesitancy in recommending Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to all who are suffering from coughs colds,'' says Chas. M. Cramer, E.-q., a well known watch maker, of Colombo, Ceylon. "It has been some two years since the city dispensary first called my attention to this valuable medicine and I have repeatedly used it and it has always been beneficial. It has cured me quickly of all chest colds. It is especially effective for children and seldom takes more than one bottle to cure them of horseness. I have persuaded many to try this valueable medicine, and they are all as well pleased as myself over the results." For sale bv J. E Kaufmann. Wrong View of His Position. Greenville Mountaineer. The Lexington Dispatch has a mistaken view of our position with reference to being n candidate for Gov- j erncr, and as I!vie may be others i who take a similar view, it may be well to correct the erroneous impressioD. The Dispatch says: "Colonel James A. Hoyfc has announced through his paper, the Greenville Mountaineer, that he would not be a candidate for Governor in the coming Stale primary. Colonel Koyt is the leader of the Prohibition element in this State and is otherwise a strong man politically, and consequently this public announcement of his not to enter the race for Governor this year is of j more than ordinary interest and significance in that it indicates that the dispensary will not be an issue in the coming campaign, and it also shows a change in the opinion of those who have heretofore bitterly opposed the dispensary law from principle and other considerations. Now, if these people will lend their assistance in perfecting the law with the same measure of zeal and activity with which they fought it, many of the evils now existing can be reduced to a minimum if not totally eradicated. The experiment is well worth the trying." It would hardly seem to be necessary to explain that the announcement trade about our supposed candidacy was strictly a personal affair, and every word of it bears that sig l ,i HiMrarinn? >? > ? cificance only. Our contemporary at aches entirely tco much import, ance to what we said, especially in I assuming that we are speaking for others, which we have no right to do. The annoucement was made without consulting any one, and must stand for what it is woith. It does not in dicate anything else than that a single individual has exercised his right to be a free and untrammeled citizen, and does not bind any one else in re gard to making the dispensary an issue in the coming campaign. Moreover, there is not the shadow of a change in our relation to the "great moral institution," which we hold to be fraught with evil from every standpoint, rank with the elements of corruption, and demoralizing to the utmost degree in the debauchery of public sentiment upon the liquor question. [A word or so by way of explanation and we are done. Not by word thought, either expressed or implied did we assume that Colonel Hoyt was speaking for others than himself in reference to his declination to become a candidate for Governor. We distinctly stated that "Colonel James A. Hoyt," "has announced," that "he" "would not be a candidate," Ac. Our conclusions were based on the fact that Colonel Hoyt is unquestionably the most popular, as well as the strongest member of the Prohibition olomont in fj-io Sfafn fnriov nnrl if UiCLUtUW Xl-l UUiW was but natural to reason that if the dispensary was to be an issue in the coming campaign, Col. Hoyt would be the logical standard bearer of the opponents of the dispensary, and he having publicly announced his - unalterable determination to lay down the Prohibition banner, in so far as carrying it into politics is concerned, it was a logical conclusion to assume that the dispensary would not be an issue, for when the leader of the opposition refused to bear the standard longer, there was no possible chance for a weaker and a less popular candidate to carry it to success. This is all there is in the incident. About the "moral institution" being "fraught with evil from every standpoint, rank with the elements of corruption, and demoralizing to the utmost degree in the deauchery of public sentiment upon the li'quor question," be it understood that Col. Hoyt has impressed the fact upon the reader that he is speaking only for himself, and his individual opinion of the "moral institution" "must"', therefore, "stand for whit it is worth."?

The Aiken Journal and Review, in } referring to the lockout in the cotton I mill section in that county, says the ! outlook is gloomy and foreboding. - Six thousand men are out. The r lockout went into efi'-ct Tuesday. Almost the entire population of the mill section of the valley is depend1 ent upon the cotton mill companies for its suppor!; and the action of the ! mill presidents has caused dismay among all classes in the Horse Creek valley. Influences are being brought to bear upon the stockholders and i presidents of the combination of mill i i J i ii i i companies to end tne iccKout ana resume operations. In the event that no attention is paid to the petition of the operatives, it is possible that the union of the laborers may proceed against the mill owners for conspiracy under the anti trust law. -O* Wants to Help Others-' "I had stomach trouble all my life,' says Edw.
