The Evening Record gives its readers
the following unwholesome advice:
"Dj you want to rive to be 100? If
so you would do well to go to Arizona
or New Mexico." What the Record
snould have said is that, if you want
to live to be 100 years old, move to
Lexington, couaf v, S. C.
Most of the Democratic papers
seem to rbii k that Parker and
Davis, the Democratic nominees for
President and Vice-President of the

It is cur opinion, however, that [
they will get there by the skin of
their teeth out they will get there

.TftTiTi S Earle.
Greenville's Candidate for Railroad
- Commissioner.
; Greenville News, Sept. 5.
i The clean fight which Major John
H Earle, of Greenville, made for the
office of Railroad Commissioner has
put him in the second race with Mr.
Mobley and by proper effort hie
friends can easily elect him. ThiB
was the first time he ever sought
public office. He was a new man in
politics, a fact which must have been
refreshing to the voters, aDd while
factionalism in South Carolina is
supposed to be dead, he received
strong support because he was the
representative of the business element.
Educated as a practical engineer,
and being a lawyer of no
mean ability, he will serve the people
faithfully, and it is well to have a
man of that type on the commission.
Here in the up-country where he is
90 well Known, toe vote BDowea mat
be has the confidence and esteem of
the citizens, and tbat ought to be a
consideration to voters in other parts
of the State who have no personal
choice in the contest. In bis owd
county Mfjor Earle received more
than 4.000 votes. What other candidate
for the same office can say ss
much ?
Honesty in politics, based on honesty
in private life and professional
iifp, is a good, safe platform which
means victory. Major Earle did no*
endeavor to antagonize any interest
He was not fighting the railroads, he
made no threats about wbst be
would force the railroads to do, but
he simply gave the public the assurance
that if elected be would be
the representative of the people and
tbat he would use his talents to help
adjust the differences and the alleged
grievances, which have been so
aggravating in the past. He comes
from good st-ock. He is fearless, he
has the courage of his convictions,
and those of us who know him can
say without the least hesitation that
he will do his duty. His lamented
father, who died while a member of
the United States Senate, did much
for his State, and today Mt>pr Earle
is prepared to do the same service,
even if in a more limited sphere.
Had it not been for the fact that a
worthy son of Oconee county was in
the race, the natural majority for
Major Earle would have placed him
at the head cf the ticket. We are
glad that Mr Gignilliat received the
support of his neighbors, because he
deserved it, and the logical inference
to be drawn is that the same strength
will be transferred to the young man
offered to South Carolina by Greenville
county. Mr. Mobley s lead over
Major Earle was too small to indicate
that he will defeat our candidate on
September 13. It is not a runaway
race for either Earle or Mobley, but
if the up country will stand to its
colors a perpetual office seeker wili
once more meet defeat, while the
new man in the field will win.
It is not due to personal friendship
alone that The Greenville News
calls public attention to the merits
of a Greenville man, for it would be
the last newspaper in the State to
speak kindly of any man unless it
honestly and sincerely believed that
he deserved it. But we speak today
in the community where Major Earle
is beBt known and where our utterances
will not find contradiction. He
has every right to aspire to the railroad
commissionership because he
has the ability to discharge the
duties of that office with dignity and
honor. His friends in the State
proved they were of that opinion,
and we are sure that they will give
further and more undoubted evi

Of Jacksonville, Fla., Endorses

^ ->v ST
C. D. Taylor, Clerk of the City Board
of Health of Jacksonville, Fla., has
occupied that position for the last ten
years. In a recent letter to the Peruna
Drug Mfg. Co., he expresses his approval
of their famous catarrh remedy Peruna
in the following words:
" The health of the poor of a large city
is always a question of vital interest not
only to the city officials but to every
citizen. It has been a source c* much
satisfaction to me to find that so large a
number of working people in moderate
circumstances have accepted Peruna as
their family medicine. It has cured a
large number of cases especially of catarrh
of the head, lungs and stomach
and building up the general health it
cannot L ... but prove a help and blessing
to any community whwe it is generally
adopted and used. 1 have found it an
honest reliable remedy and am pleased
to endorse it."?C. D. Taylor, Clerk*
Board of Health.
If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory
results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable advice
gratis.

The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus,

Moreover, it is hardly necessary to

for they will do it of their own free
