A Gentle Hint. In our style of climate, with its sudden chaDges of temperature,? raiD, wind and sunshiDe often intermingled in a single day,?it is no wonder that our children, friends and relatives are so frequently taken from us by neglected colds, half the deaths resulting directly trom this cause. A bottle of Boschee's German Syrup kept about your home for immediate use will prevent serious sickness, a large doctor's bill, and perhaps death, by the use of three or four doses. For coring Consumption, Hemorrhages, Pneumonia, Severe Coughs, Croup, or any disease of the Throat or Lungs, its success is simply wonderful, as your druggist will tell you. ?)et a sample bottle free from Kaufmann's drug store.

One of the p?incipal objects of the gathering was the framing o* rules to govern the primaries in accordance with which candidates for the United States eenatorship and other offices must pledge their support to the successful candidate and to the platform of the party. If the oath to be prescribed by the j JI /.nnnvn In fVio dc/?1a_ CBUUlUttliBB UUVCiO UCJici. tu tuo utuia- i ration of the party's past platforms, it will doubtless eliminate some of the candidates for *he senate. A. C. Latimer is Tillman's choice for the nomination. John G. Evans, former governor, is expected to come into the race. Latimer and Evans are of the old Tillman faction. The others. Johnstone, Elliot, Hemphill and Henderson?are of the old anti-Tillmanites. Johnstone and Hemphill have both served in congress, while Elliot and Latimer are now members of the house. At 11 o'clock Wednesday night the platform was presented and adopted j without debate. The three points covered were j imperialism, monopolies and tariff, j The Philippine war was condemned; ; tariff for revenue only advocated. There was a debate for two hours over the resolution expressing sjmpathy for locked out cotton mill employees in the Horse Creek valley, and condemning the mill owners for their cruelty. It was finally adopted by a two to one vote. The pledge fixed ior candidates | for the senate and house of represen j tatives requires them to stand on the j party platform and to vote w.t 1 their colleagues on paity questions. It was j not as extreme as had been antici j pated. . A resolution welcoming Cuba iDto the world of nations, declaring that she vould be welcomed as a state in j this union if she applied of her free ! will and in the meantim'e declaiing she should have the benefits of recip- j rocity, was adopted amid cheers. Without remarks or protest, a res- j olution of a dczs n words condemning | the course of Senator McLaurin was passed. By a standing vote resolutions, im- j presBively read by Senator Tillman, speaking of Wade Hampton's service j to his state in his highest terms were : unamiously adopted. A resolution condemning cniid labor in mills and declaring the age ! limit should not be less than 12 years j was adopted after some debate.' The trust plant contains the following. "Resolved by the democracy of South Carolina in convention assembled: "1. That we reaffirm and indorse the platferm of principles enunciated ! by the state democratic convention of j 1910, with special stress upon the i following sections: " j "That we view with alarm the i power which the trusts, tl rough the republican party, are exercising over j legislation ami national politics, ami I their ability to control the prices of the necessities of life without regard to law of supply and demand. We condemn the hypocritical attitude of the republican leaders who abuse i tru-is and combines while they use the money obtiiced from them t nd exhotted from the people to debauch the ignorant voters of the country. "That we reaffirm and endorse the correlated sections of the Kanets City platform upon the sub j ct of trusts and imperialism. After the convention adjourned at a late hour Senator Tillman wa- cil! ed upon and addressed the body. The people of Irpne enjoyed a delightful picnic last Saturdav. A number of candidates for State and county < fficers were present and made addresses. ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR REPRESENTATIVES.
