Id a special correspondence to one of the Augusta papers is found the following paragraph that is doubtless of special interest to the voters of the Fifth district: There seems to be a change in the "? ' ? 1 ? i.1 1- U^rrr ideas neia qj sue peupir, uuj uwi. Gen. J. W. Floycl, who was recently defeated in the Fifth district by D. E. Finley, stated yesterday that the campaign had bsen a sort of education to him. . "The people generally," he said, ^are beginning to like those Republican doctrines and I believe that if Senator McLaurin had stayed in the party, he would have won easily, u- "I made the race on the old Demol cratio platform, but in going among the people I found that generally Vin/3 tViA irtoo iKflf no Inner no tUOJ UBU VUU 1UVU V '?H vtl> V- p* there was going to be federal pie and appropriations distributed it was about time for decent South Caro linians to get their share, and besides t the people seem to favor a kind of protective tariff and holding the Philippines. "Although the State has not yet produced an able man who could defy the old leaders and at the same time have enough political sense to attract the masses generally." JL Boy's Wild Bide For Life. With family around expecting him to die, and a eon riding- for life, 18 miles, to get Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs 8Dd Colde, W. H. Brown, of Leesville, Ind, endured death's agonies from asthma, but this wonderful medicine gave instant relief and soon cured him. He write?: "I now Bleep soundly every night." Like marvelous cures of Consumption, Aneumonia, Bronchitis, Coughs, Colds and Grip prove its matchless merit for all Throat and Lung troubles. Guaranteed bottles 50c and $1.00.

After talking with many farmers and reading much that has been written we believe the only way to provide against winter killing of a , a ii i i oacs is co prepare lana wen ana pui in the oats with the one-horse graiD drill which leaves a high, sharp ridge between the rows. The oats arecon? siderably below the surface. There is generally moisture enough to bring them up even in dry- weather. The land instead of beiDg lifted by frost expands horizontally leaving the bottom of the furrow where the oats are stationary. As the ground thaws and the rains come fine dirt sifts down amorgst the oats which is equal to a working. About the first of April if the ridges are a little tco high for a reaper or easy cradling run a light smoothing harrow diagonally across the rows. That will level the land and cultivate the oats. The Burt oat is the earliest. It should be sown in Febuary on good land and it will be ready to cut the last of May. The Southern Red Rust Proof is the most prolific if sown in the fall. Of the later oats the Brown, the Turf, the Grazing, the White Winter and Virginia Grays are about equal. They all grow taller than the early varieties The Appier oat is highly commended in Georgia. Some farmers in this State have tried it, but we do not know much about it. "Growler" Utters His Growl. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Having been silent for sometime I have concluded to break the ice and give you a few dots. We have been so busy the past month we scarcely know who we were. Attending the summer school, chopping stove wood and helping "the ole 'oman" nurse the baby and in various other ways has given about as much as we were able to stand. It is not our intention to convert this communication into an advertisement in the interest of any one, but we think honor should be given to those to whom honor is due, and there is certainly honor due lo Prof. S. J Derrick of Newberry for the way in which be conducted the summer school for teachers just closed. We have never sat under the teaching of one who took any more interest in the ones taught. Teachers are born not made wDd Prof. Derrick is certainly a teacher to the maDor born. The teachers cf our county who failed to attend this summer have certainly missed a great deal. We have heard one or two teachers wbo did not attend speasmg disparagingly of what was being done, but we are certain that not a -single teacher of the forty-seven in attendance will do eo. We had all the work that we could possibly do and more than that it was thorough. Of course your humble scribe does not belong to thai fortunate class know it all, hence it behooves him to take advantage of all such chances a9 the summer school. We think the trustees over the county should take note of those who attended and to them we wonld say you would not be willing to call the physician to your family, nor trust your suit in the court to an attorney wbd 8R soon as they received their title of D, or admitted to the bar, quit studying ana aepenaea entirely on what they knew once. Yet you employ men and women to teach your children who take no school journal and will not take the time from their business to attend the schools set apart for them. We suppose reasoning from the same standpoint that a tescher in Orsngeburg did. He said I will get forty dollars a month if I do not attend and will get no more if I do, hence I will not and save about fifteen dollars thereby. More anon. Growler. Irene, September 12, 1901. Tkae Care of the Stomach. The man or woman whose digestion is perfect and whose stomach performs its every function is nev< r sick. Kodol cleanses, purifies and eweetens the stomach and cures positively and permanently all stomach troubles, indigestion and dyspepsia. It is the wonderful reconstructive tonic that is makiDg so many sick people strong by conveying to their bodies all of the nourishment in the food they eat. Bev. J. H. Holladay, Mies , writes: Kodol has cured me I consider it the best remedy I ever used for dyspepsia and stomach troubles. I was given up by physicians. Kodol saved my life. Take it after meals. J. E. Kaufmann. An Editor's Salutatory. This is the salutatory of an Arkansas editor: "Our aim?Tell the truth though the heavens take a tumble. Our paper?Of the people, to be paid for by the people.

A Democratic Platform. Ohio Democrats Demand Honest Tax Returns. The following planks of the platform adopted by the Ohio Democrats could be, with profit, incorporated iD the South Carolina platform: 1?That in making assessments for taxation all property should be appraised at not less than its salable value. 2?That the present laws for assessing the property of steam railroads and other public service corporations should be so changed as to compel the assessment of those properties at not less than their salab'e value as going concerns. 3?That to prevent evasion cf State taxes by discriminating valuations, a separation of the sources of State and local revenues should be made. 4?That all public service corporations should be required by law ' o make sworn public reports and that the power of visitation and examination over euch connrations ehou'd be given to the proper auditing officers, to the end that the true value of the privileges had by such corporations may be made plain to the people. 5?That the acceptance of free passes or other favojs frcm railroads by public officers or employees should be adequate ground for the ir removal from office.
