Address of Prominent Citizens
Of Marion County, S. C., to the Voters
of the State
io endorsement or W. Boyd Evans.
f
His grandfather, one of Nature's
noblemen; bis father a gallant
Confederate soldier, and be a
n
worm/ BUU.
To the voters of South Carotins:
Realizing the necessity and utility
of a most vigorous administration of
the affairs of the Railroad Commission,
and its establishment upon a
stable business bases, and, that these
great ends can only be obtained by
maintaining the highest standard in
the personal of its members, we, the
undersigned citizens of Marion county,
present for your attention the
name of Mr. W. Boyd Evans, a man
hailing from our midst, and whom
we believe possesses these high attributes
which qualify him to meet
the obligations of the office to which
he aspires with the greatest efficiency
and honor.
He is full of energy, progressive
in his ideas and aggressive in advancm
cing them; a Mason, a Pythian and
Odd Fellow, he is in close touch and
sympathy with all that tends toward
and development of his fellow man
and native State. We feel that a
word seltiog out what manner of
man he is and what class of men he
sprang from will not be amiss.
In a recent history of Marion
county, written by the Hon. W. W.
Sellers, Etq., he has this to say of
W. B,oyd Evans'grandfather, Nathan
Evans, and his father, William Baker
Evans.
"Nathan Evans was one of nature's
noblemen; bad great good sense,
was energetic and upright in every
respect, always lent his ear to a tale
of suffering, had a kind and sympathetic
heart, and would help his j
neighbor in distress, if it was in his I
I
power, often to bis own injury; he
. injured himself and family by becoming
8urity for others. He lived
on his splendid farm, which he managed
to keep, till his death; he was
a very popular man, yet he never
" aspired to the honors of office
but once, and then not of his own
motion, but beiDg urged by his nu- j
znerous friends he became a candidate
for Representative in the State Legislature
in 1858, and though the contest
was heated, be was triumphantly
elected at the head of the ticket, and
served a term in the House. Faithful
to his trust, he retired from public
life in the full confidence cf his
people?he loved his home and family
too well; pursuits of home life were
more congenial to bis nature/'
"William Baker Evans, W. Boyd
Evan's father, was a Captain in the
war, a true and gallant soldier. In
ane of the battles of Virginia (Cold
Harbor) he was badly wounded, shot
through one of his lungs?which
was thought to be mortal, but to
every one's surprise he recovered.
After his rocoverv he returned to hia
command and continued there until
the surrender of Johnson's army,
26ub of April, 1865. Captain Evans
ie a very worthy citizen, a man of
good morals, and a good man in his
family?in short, he is a high toned
gentleman; he is a farmer."
Boyd Evans is a poo of this gallant
Confederate soldier. He is eraentialiy
a self made man, for his
father lacking the means to bear the
expense of his college education, he
tiicco ovncnaps himself unaided
UiQII lUEOO ?
Uy dint of hard work and untiring
perseverance.
"While still at college, Mr. Evans
was elected against sharp competiton
to fill the position of secretary of the
Judiciary committee of the Constitutional
convention of 1895, and in
that position exhibited such marked j
ability as to attract the attention of
William H Eilerbe, who afterwards
becoming Governor cf the State, appointed
him as his private secretary.
Mr. Evans held this responsible
position to the utmost satisfaction to <
his chief, and during the last desperate
illness of Governor Eilerbe, covering
the greater part of a year, the
duties and responsibilities of that
high office devolved almost entirely
upon his shoulders, and he acquitted
himself with ability and dignity.
DariDg the performance of these
arduous duties, however, he found
time to enter upon and complete the
study of law at the South Carolina
College, and has since the expiration 1
of his term practiced his profession
in Columbia.
After lbs return of our regiments
from the war with Spain, Mr. EvaDS
descovered that these soldiers could
under the national laws claim further
awards for their services, entered
ftlaims with the war department in I
Washington for back pay for South
Carolina, collected and turned over
to them upwards of twenty thousand
dollars, which, but for his sagacity
and energy, would have been lost to
these brave fellows.
For a period of nearly ten years
Mr. Evans has been connected, in
one capacity or another, with the legislative
department of our government,
acting as eecretary of the various
ccmmitties of the two houses.
His residence in Columbia, the
headquarters of the Riilroad Commission,
renders Mr. Evsds a peculiarly
fitting choice for the position
to which he aspires, insomuch as it
would give the commission a resident
member at headquaters, thus keeping
the office always accessible to those
haviDg business before it.
In the light of the facts and rea
sons enumerated above, we have no
hesitation in recommending gladly
the candidacy of Mr. W. Boyd
Evans:

T. A. Dillion, President Peoples

Eikins, W. Ya , July 15?Former
Senator Henry G. Davis expects to
leave Eikins in the private car
"Graceland'' tomorrow morning for
New York to join a conference of
Democratic leaders. Mr. Davis does
not expect to make any formal
speeches during the campaign except
that he will follow the McKinley
porch policy and receive delegations.
He today expressed his approval of
the McKinley method. If be cannot
avoid it he will make a few
speeches, but under no circumstances
more than six.
Charles M. Hendley, of Washington,
D. C., formerly secretary of the
West Virginia Central railroad, and
later a clerk in the White House, is |
here and will assist Mr. Davis duriDg j
the next three months and will prac- j
tically conduct his campaign.
Couuty Auditor of York.
Gov. Hey ward upon the recom- i
mendation of the county delegation j
of York has appointed W. B. Wil- j
liams, Jr., County Auditor to take |

died.

Over-Work Weakens
Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
fThe kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they filter
out the waste or
impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fail to do
their work.
. Pains, aches and rheumatism
come from excess
of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
?1 1 I 1 i. A t- 1 - I it 1 x
iney naa ncari irouDic, ocuause ine ncan is
over-working in pumping thick, kidneypoisoned
blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their beginning
in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and is sold on its merits
by all druggists in fiftycent
and one-dollar sizes.
You may have a
sample bottle by mail Home or Swamp-Root,
free, also pamphlet telling you how to find
out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.

Obituary.
In tbe death of Mrs. Rebecca
Stuarf, which occurred cn May 24,
1904, the town of Lexington lost one
of its oldest and most reelected in
habitants and tbe Lutheran church
one of its most de-voted members,
being in the 79th }ear of her pge.
She lived a go.d Christian life. She
joined the Lutheran church in her
early days and wht^ in health she
was at her post of duty. It has
been said that death loves a shining
mark?Mrs^ Stuart was one whose
life was bright with Christian experience
and she is still a shining
light in that place where do sorrow
ever comes to break eternal jov:
Mrs. Stuart was a devoted mother to
her children. She loved and was
loved by all who knew fc-r. She
leaves six children?two pods add
four daughters to mourn. Rnt, oh!
if she could sp?ak, she would say
mourn not for m'; a woman that
feareth the Lord, she shall bo praised;
give her of the fruit of her hands
and let her woiks praise her in the
gates. Proverbs zxxi. 30 31, and we
say like Joha, "blessed are tbe dead
which die in the Lord, from henchforth.
Yea, sayeth the Spiri\ that
they may resent from the labor and
their works do follow them. Rev.
xiv. 33 May the Lord keep and
biess her children. W. L. Keel.
Laying by Tins.
Laying by lime is bc-rf. Farmers
generally wish to have ail early planted
corn laid by before July J As a
general thing they cease to cultivate
crops too early. If a heavy, beating
rain should fall just after a corn or
cotton crop is laid by, it would be
well to run a cultivator or harrow
again, making the top ecii loose.
That promotes the growth of the crop
and prevents evaporation. After corn
begins to silk it is about time to qu t
cultivating. Cotton should be cultivated
according to the weather and
the fruiting of the crop. It will often
help a late crop to run sweep or ci 1 vator
through it up to the middle
of August. The fruiting of cotton
is arrested when the ground
remains baked hard and firm after
a rain. Watch the rains and condition
of soil and do not retreat from
the field until work is no longer
needed.
