Why Floyd Was Defeated.
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

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

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."

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

About Oats.
Oats may be sown any time up to
the middle of October with a reasonable
chance of their living through
the winter. 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.

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.

the cheek, swipe him with haste and
dexterity at the butt of his most convenient
ear. What we advocate?
One country, one flag and one wife?
at a time. Oar object?To live in
pomp and splendor."
It is related that a certain lawyer
at Kershaw, S. C., sent Jim Tillman
a telegram after the result in the primary
be38me known, as follows:
"Heyward 178; Tillman 2. Hurrah
for Jim Tillman!" Jim wired this
reply: "Two wise men and one fool
at Kershaw. Not concerned about
the others."?Rock Hill Herald.

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.
