The State Campaign, opened at St. George, Dorchester county, on Tuesday of last week, with a quiet orderly crowd. Not much interest was manifested and were present more from curiosity than anything else, this being the first meeting. The first speaker was Mr. M. F. Ansel of Greenville, who thanked the people of South Carolina for the fine vote which he received four years ago. He had not been elected then but he had received such a flattering vote and h^d come so close to the line that he felt that he should make the race again. He comes with the endorsement of 75 per cent, of the people of his home section. The common schools should be given the best teachers, the longest terms and the most comfortable school houses which can be afforded; Deneves in good roads, wants the federal government to send some of their money down here to supplement our own money and convict labor;; the greatest tax the farmer pays is wear and tear on vehicles and stock. If the roads had been improved 50 years ago, what would this country be today? As to the liquor question he said that he is opposed to the State dispensary. He is in favor of the county dispensary system. The counties are able to manage their affairs. Let each county have the right of oirinion between county dispAisaries and prohibition. * Mr. Ansel being called upon to fire the first gun of the campaign had to proceed cautiously and indulged in generalization largely. BELIEVES IN THE DI8PENSARY. Senator C. L. Blease read his platform. He was opposed to higher, education of the negro, there was applause. He is in favor of the dispensary law and in favor of the absolute repeal of the Brice law. As to the dispensary, he said that if there should happen to be corruption in the State dispensary, how much more would there be in 41 counties. He opposes the Brice law because its author said he wanted through it "to kill the damnable dispensary." He opposes the RaysorManning bill, so-called. Where is the dispensary's corruption? Who for four years has been in charge of the dispensary? Were they original dispensary men?, .He does not say there is corruption. He does not believe there is. The governor of the State has not been a dispensary man more than to say that it was the best solution of the liquor question. He chided the opposition to the dispensary in the State campaign with having shifted from prohibition to local option' He called attention,in a general way to increased appropriations made by the legislature of recent years and advised that the people elect legislative delegations who would carry out their wishes as to curtailment. He called attention to the expenses of special courts as one thing which could be remedied. He laughed at Mr. Ansel's good roads plank. Every man in the State, and every horse, too, is in favor of good roads. He favored liberal pensions, but suggested that the screws should be tightened up. Dtiiring his remarks on the dispensary7 question, Senator Blease | said that he had been told by Mr. I W_ O. Ohildfi. president of the Colum bia, Newberry and Laurens railroad, who had said and had authorized him to say that since the voting out of the dispensary along the line of his railroad his receipts, from hauling whiskey in jugs and otherwise which came from outside the State more than doubled and he is not loosing financially from the loss of dispensary shipments. DISPENSARY ROASTED. Mr. Joel E. Brunson of Sumter was the next speaker in alphabetical order. He declared the dispensaiV question to be the leading issue because it involves more in dollars and cents and it also affects so closely the moral welfare of the whole people. In reply to the claim that the dispensary helps to educate the people he declared that eaubation and culture do not safeguard the people from intemperance. He quoted from the last message of Gov. J. G. Evans to the legislature in which he claimed that " " /?* y 1. x J 1_1_ even 11 saie or nquor orougnt irouoie it would bring revenue to educate the people and thus to heal the wounds caused by intemperence. # Mr. Branson proceeded to a strong arraignment of the dispensary's profit feature. He was vigorous and used telling similes. It requires the sale of ?4,000,000 of liquor to get $800,000 in profits for State, cities and counties. Of this amount but $160,000 is the "educational salve" to heal the wounds as referred to by Gov. Evans. In other words out of every $4 paid for liquor only 16 cents is given back for educational salve and of that only 2 cents stays in the county, the rest being divided among counties, some i of whom have no dispensaries. He charged that although some of these gentlemen who oppose him declare their support of the dispensary, there is not one of them who would go behind the dirty lattice work and I sell the dirty stuff. | He charged that the dispensary | board bought at extravagant prices ! lahpls pnmnrh to belt the world and | had made "bad, bottle contracts." He told of Hercule's task to cleanse the stables where for 30 years the 1,800 cattle of Augeus had stood, but that is nothing to the undertaking of him who would cleanse the dispensary. The Atlantic ocean could not cleanse it. God himself cannot cleanse that which is essentially criminal. He used a forcible illustration to show that if the entire world should be a crucible and all of the heat of the univese used thereunder to boil the dispensary into purity, even after the dross should all be removed there would be but a small residum?and even that would be a disgrace. He used another forcible illustration of a poor man accepting a dispensary position to keep from starving. Soon he begins to tipple and before long he will be filching money from the State in his intemperance. He closed with j a declaration that the dispensary will ever be "wounds and bruises *and stripes,'' and this he repeated several times as a climatic sentence. One in the audience who seemed to have used his share of "nose paint" in his lifetime said: "That's so, I drink it myself." Mr. Brunson made a fine temperance address, but was unable in twenty minutes to get to other issues. AFTER THE RAILROADS, "Who is W. A. Edwards?" The question has been asked many times since he announced his candidacy for governor. Today the candidate was present. He has a mission to perform. *He stated that he had discovered facts of a dangerous nature in connection with- the government. After citing the constitutional provision which declares that railroad franchises shall be forfeited by companies buying up competing lines, he called attention to the fact that in April, 1900, the Southern railway had obtained control of 400 miles of competing lines that afforded competition at 23 or points in the State. Freights were advanced as much as 100 per cent, in some cases, he claimed. The violation of the anti-meger law appears to be beyond dispute, he contends, and yet all cases in the courts except his bwn appear to have been dropped. He declared the Southern railroad to De **a monster, a roDoer corporation, a blight, a foul, festering sore on the political system.". There wa9 a great deal more he had to say but his time wa9 up in the middle of his speech. He urged the people to elect legislators who would not belong to the railroads. CONTINUED CN PAGE ONE. Following the Flag. When our soldiers went to Cuba and the Philippines, health was the most important consideration. Willis T. Morgan, retired Commissary Sergeant U. S. A., of Rural Route 1, Concord, N? H., says: "I was two years in Cuba and two years in the Philippines, and being subject to colds. I took Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, which kept me in perfect health. And now, in New Hampshire, we find it the best medicine in the world for coughs, colds, bronchial troubles and all lung diseases. Guaranteed at Kaufmann Drug Co.'s, druggist. Price 50c, and $1.00.

He immediately withdrew his name, however, as there were two older Democrats of the agricultural committee?Representative Lamb, of Virginia, and Representative Bowie, of Alabama. It is considered an honor for a representative as young in point of service as Mr. Lever to be named as a conferee on a matter of as much importance as the meat bill. ! In injustice to the other Democratic ! members, however, Mr. Lever volun, tardy withdrew his name. Death From Lockjaw never follows an injury dressed with Rncklen's Arnica Salve.

Sold by all Druggists. An Act Contested. At the last session of the General Assembly an Act was passed,* creat* ing "St. John's School District," provided a majority of the electors therein voted for it at an election therein provided for. Messrs. W. B. Taylor, C. H. Livingston and A. W. Shealy, the trustees of the old District gave notice of the election to be held June 21st, but the day before hand an injunction served upon them held the matter up: The case is brought in the name of Henry Rawl, J. P. Glassgo and J. Walker Hendrix, all colored, tax payers of the District, by Messrs. Graham & Sturkie, and upon the sworn complaint of these negroes, Judge Klugh, issued the rule requiring the trustees to appear before him in Columbia, July 2nd, to show cause 1 ? 1L A.1.

I know that it has cured coneumption in the stages." You never' heard of any one using Foley's Honey and Tar and iiot being satisfied. The Kaafmann Drug Co. Bight, Bit '2m Again. We notice that most of the papers in the neighboring counties last week published a long card from a man giving his reasons for not running for office. The Herald received the same card, but as no check was enclosed, it went into the waste basket. The statement was of no interest to any one except the man who wrote it and wa9 merely an advertisement of himself. How long before newspaper men will realize that their space is what brings in an income and act accordingly? There was no more reason why this card should have been published gratis than that an advertisement for a dry goods store should be inserted free.
