JOHNSTONE FOR THE SENATE,
Ceaeeded By All That Be Will
Sola Secoad Race.
He Has Steadily Gained in the Campaign
Now About to Close?Something of
the Life of this Remarkable Man,
Who, by Ability of Highest Order,
Has Forged so Rapidly to the Front.
The purpose of our Democratic
primary is to give the people an opportunity
to judge for themselves of
the character, ability and fitness of ]
I
those aspiring to position, so that the ,
voter may be able to cast his ballot ^
intelligently. ,
In the convass now about to close
in the State for the United States
Senatorship, there are practically (
no difference in platform. The question
to be decided by the people is [
that of personal fitness. Who of the
six, aspiring to this position, is most
capable of representing Sonth Carolina *
in the United States Senate with *
credit to himself and honor to his
State t
There is no doubt that since the j
canvass began, George Johnstone, of
Newberry, has gained remarkable *
? * s. L ? 1_ 1 _ I
strengtn ana m&ae moB& iavorsuie i impressions
ea the rotors, In fact {
It is conceded that all of ths ctodi- ^
dates, he has gained most, this being ^
admitted on all hands. ^
It may be well to inquire into the ^
record and to study something of the g
life of this man, who, by sheer force Q
of character and ability of the high- c
est order, has forged so rapidly to j
the front. '
George Johnstone is a son of the
late Chancellor Job Johnstone, whose
opinions rank in literary ability and
legal erudition with those of the |
greatest chancellors and judges the j
State has ever produced. The son | v
bis inherited in great measure the
intellect of the father and that intellect
has had the advantage of thorough
training in the best schools of this
country and Europe.
In 1877 he was elected to the Legislature,
in which body he served for
eight stcceesive years, retiring voluntarily.
I
In 1890 he was elected to congress
from the Third District. He was
chairman of the committee on Privileges
and Elections, from which Mr.
Crisp was elected speaker, and Mr.
Johnstone was one to whom Mr. Crisp
looked constantly for assistance.
No man can show a cleaner record.
Few can show a more remarkable
record. No man has sought more to
do what he could in the interest of
and for the welfare of his people. In
times like these there is a demand for
men, not time servers; statesmen, not
politicians. There are momentous
questions to be settled, and above all j
do we need men who are able to j
grapple with these questions in the j
National Congress, and to do so in- j
J
tellipentlv and with a wisdom and ,
" O I
foresight born of the statesman. The j
people of the State are now in the (
enjoyment of . eir sober judgment,
they are not torn by party strife and
factional feeling. The appeal is made
to this sober judgment in the selection
they will be called upon to make
for the highest office in their gift. It
is their duty to measure up the candidates
by the standard which every
true Caroliaion should set for such a
position; character, fitness, intellect,
ability to stand up shoulder to shoulder,
arm to arm, hand to band, intellect
to intellect, with any member of
that body.
The friends of Col. Johnstone have
never considered bim a politician, and
do not now press his claims on that
ground, but rather as a broadminded
statesman who is able to grapple with
iUft Jftw on/^ moaf
UiC UUC3UUUQ U1 IIUO uaj nuu UJUUU viiv
issues and solve them intelligently;
one who has always stood for the
people's interests and those principles
he believed to be right and just,
though for the time they may not
have been popular.
In his old congressional district
l tThird) he received an ovation at each
meeting.
In the beginning of this article, it
wae stated that since the canvass of
the State begun, George Johnstone
has gained mnch more rapidly than
any of his competitors, and it is absolutely
certain that he will be in the
second race with one of them, and
that he will lead in the first primary
on the 26th.
The following are only a few of the
many opinions which have been expressed
by the newspapers of the
State, and are confirmation of what is
said above:
"The man who made the most votes
by this trip was Col. George Johnstone
of Newberry. Every one fell
in love with him, and he made many
friends here."?Georgetown Times.
"The self-reliant political faith of
JVbnstone, clean cut and true to
Democratic principles, without fancy
trimmings or demagogic catches and
withal the conviction that here is a
man who would represent South Carolina
according to the dictates of his
}wn conscience, rather than the understudy
of another, have made a
strong impression on the people
imong whom he has appeared. He
a in the front rank of Senatorial possibilities,
and there is only bright
promise to South Carolina in such a
prospect."?Charleston Evening Post.
"Col. George Johnstone from all re>orts
has made a splendid record,
lis speeches are clear, logical, to the
>oint and easily understood by the
1 11- M "CI x>
jeopie geuerauy, ? fivui wo x icbo.
I '
''The newspapers seem to agree
hat of all the Senatorial candidates
3oL George Johnstone is making the
>eBt headway at the meetings. And
his is true. Col. Johnstone's speeches
ire bound to make a fine impression
>n all who hear them, as they are the
itterances of a statesman?one who
ias gone to the bottom of public
[uestionB."?Sumter Herald.
"Not only the newspapers, but the
>ther Senatorial candidiates, say that
>f all their competitors, Col. George
lohnstone has made the most headray,
and that he is the man that they
tare individually to beat. In other
rords, each candidate figures it out
hat the race lies between himself and
3ol. Johnstone.
This condition can be explained in
rat one way. It has been brought
ibont by the sheer ability of the man.
Wherever he has appeared he has
ton distinction. His speeches in
tome cases have wrung approbation
rem those who otherwise would have
rone over bag and baggage to some
?ther fellow without thinking. Col.
lohnstone, as the Herald says, is a
itatesman?one who has gone to the
xcttom of public questions. He
mows things and if elected to the
Jnited States Senate, he would be
ible at once to take rank with the
nen in the socalied 'inner circle' of
ihe Senate, composed of such men as
Spooner, Piatt of Connecticut, Allison
md a few others from the Republicans,
and welcomed into fellowship
oy Democrats like Morgan of Ala3ama,
Bacon of Georgia and others.
Be is able to place his beloved State,
for he does love SouthCarolina, in
the position she has occupied in public
life. South Carolina should send
statesmen, not politicians, to the
[Jnited States Senate. Col. Johnstone
is a statesmen, and an able one
at that."?Greenwood Index.

Women and Jewels.
Jewels, candy, flowers, man?that
is the order of a woman's preferences.
Jewels form a magnet of mighty
power to the average woman. Even
that greatest of all jewels, health, is
often ruined in the strenuous efforts
to make or save the money to purchase
them. If a woman will risk her
health to get a coveted gem, then let
her fortify herself against the insiduous
consequences of coughs, colds
and bronchial affections by the regular
use of Dr. Boschee's German Syrup.
It will promptly arrest consumption
in its early stages and heal the affected
lungs and bronchial tubes and
drive the dread disease from the
system. It is not a cure-all, but it is
a certain cure for coughs, colds and
all bronchial troubles. You can get
this reliable remedy at Kaufmann's
drug store. Get Green's Special Almanac.

A Simple Change.
The little daughter of the house
watched the minister who was making
a visit very closely and finally
sat down beside him and began to
draw or her slate.
"What are you doing?" asked the
clergyman.
"I'm making your picture," said the
child.
The minister sat very still, and the
child worked away earnestly. Then
she stopped and compared her work
with the original and shook her head.
"I don't like it much," she said.
"'Tain't a great deal like you. I
think I'll put a tail to it and call it a
d?g'"
To My Friends.
It is with joy I tell you what Kodol
did for me. I was troubled with my
stomach for several months. Upon
being advised to use Kodol, I did so,
and words cannot tell the good it has
done me. A neighbor bad dyspepsia
so that he had tried most everything.
I told him to use Kodol. Words of
gratitude have come to me from him
because I recommended it.?George
W. Frye, Viola, Iowa. Health a$d
strength, of mind and body, depend
on the stomach, and normal activity
of the digestive organs. Kodol, the
great reconstructive tonic, cures all
stomach and bowel troubles, indigestion,
dyspepsia. Kodol digests any
good food you eat. Take a dose
after meals. J. E. Kaufmann.
A Boy Who Bid Sis Duty.
A gentleman went into a fancy
shop one day to buy something. It
was early, and the shopkeeper's little
boy and he were alone in the house.
The shopkeeper had to go upstairs
to get his cash box in order to procure
some change, but before doing
so he went into the little room next
to the shop and whispered to the boy:
"Watch the gentleman that he
doesn't steal anything," and, bringing
him out, sat him on the counter.
As soon as the shopkeeper returned
the child sang out: "Pa, he didn't
steal anything. I watched him."?

Eczema, Psoriasis, Salt
Rheum,Tetter and Acne
Belong to that class of inflammatory and disfiguring skin eruptions that
cause more genuine bodily discomfort and worry than all other known
diseases. The impurities or sediments which collect in the system because
of poor digestion, inactive Kidneys and other organs of elimination are
taken up by the blood, saturating the system with acid poisons and fluids
that ooze out through the glands and pores of the skin, producing an indescribable
itching and burning, and ?i can cho?rfully endor.e your s. S. s.
