TILLMAN IN AIKEN.
A Speech or the Newspapers and
Whiskey Heard by One Thousand
Persons.
Aiken, July 11.?About 1,000 people
"KoaWi SAnaf/vr Tillman's SDeech here
r today. The candidates for congress
were allowed 30 minutes each before
> the senator was introduced.
Senator Tillman was introduced by
v , | Senator Johnson. Senator Tillman
began by saying that it is unfortunate
for him that Mr. Lumpkin has within
"drawn from the race. The senator said
that he wanted him in the race to act
as a spur, so that the people could see
how he could trot. Under present con
'v dition he could not debate, but has to
preach. He gave the history of his
.gubernatorial campaign. He referred
to The State as being "that blessed
,* sheet in Columbia, born in opposition
to white majority in South Carolina.''
He said that he does not expect to die
, in the senate, but he does not know
H when the "angel" will call for him.
Wi He said that everybody will have to
fvote for him at this election or scratch
and he does not care if they do. Some
|j& of bis enemies said that he is going
||fc: around the State to keep frqm losing
&??/ * P1^8^6- People would think "Old
Ben" had lost all of his virility and
& . was no longer -, any good, if he went
??* * home and did^nothing.
fc He said that he is going around to
keep the people from being led around
the country by a string with a ring in
^ . their noses, and not know who is their
^ r leader/ He said that a iot of sweet
scented liars were roaming around the
|: ' country saying that he had created
||igv the dispensary for a political machine
1to keep him in office and that there
||| was a Tillman ring in South Carolina.
Said that he does not need political
??/: machine, has got a machine that can
"run faster than any old automobile
in politics;" and the only Tillman ring j
V/ in South Carolina is a ring of 60,000
i white voters. He knows that there i
are not a dozen newspapers in the j
country that support him and that
i the only reason the papers do not put
up a candidate is because they know
that it is no use. Most of the papers
. that speak against him are hypocrites
. and he does not give a . He stated
Z;i\ that there never has been any trouble
in'the Aiken dispensary and it is clean
?unless it is polluted with rotten
(U. liquor that some of the fellows in Co- j
lumbia have sent them.
He thinks that the prohibitionists,
local option men, barkeepers and
r. moonshiners will all line up behind
the same man. Does not know who
g|i' he is but thinks that he can smell his
fei scent. He thinks that if one central
msnensarv cannot be kept clean, it is
impossible to keep a large number of
dispensaries clean. He says that if
the people do not elect honest, responsible
men to office they are to
blame if corruption exists. The newspapers
given him a lot of good advice
that? he has not followed. He quoted
a newspaper clipping on Morgan bill
:V which he brands as a lie. He said if
V he kept track of all the lies that are
put in the papers about him he would
have to take a trunk around with him
to hold the clippings. He said that
in the prohibition counties only 20,000
voted and only 13,000 of them voted |
for prohibition. He was glad so many
ladies were present, and that politics
had gotten so that ladies could come
to the meetings without fear of offense.
In response to a voice in the crowd, !
he explained the solvency of the dis- j
oensarv.
Beware of Ointments for Catarrii |
that Contain Mercury,
as'mercury -will surely destroy the sense of
smell and completely derange the whole
system when entering it through the mucous
surfaces. Such articles should never
be used except on prescriptions from reputable
physicians, as the damage they will
do is ten fold to the good you can possibly
received from them- Hall's Gatarrh Cure,

Claims to Be Paid.
"By a majority vote the investigating
committee has decided that claims
of liquor houses will be paid, but in
turning them over to the commissioner
and the State board of directors, it is
urged that each one be given the most
careful scrutiny before being paid.
This settles a matter about which
much has been said. It was brought
out by members of the committee that
many of the prices were exhorbitant,
much more than was charged the
small dealers in other States, but the
* committee has decided that these are
'debts of the State and as such c light
J
;
to be paid. Messrs. Fraser and Spivey
give this as their only reason for voting
as they did. Their argument is
that if the State made a bad bargain
by electing the board of directors who
were responsible for these bills, then
the State must make the best of the
bargain.,,

that where the dispensary has sold
the liquor of some of these purchases
it should be paid for but the o^her
stock on hand should be returned to
the proper owners.
Huagar and Starvation.
A correspondent of the Associated
Press has just completed a tour of the i
provinces of Samara and Sarato, Rus- :
sia. He reports that the drought is \
finally broken but the rains hav^ come
too late to save the crop and help the
peasants, who are in a pitiable condition.
Their cattle have either been
sold or are starving in the fields.
The government relief grainaries
were completely emptied during last
year's famine. The present agrarian
disorders, which can be expected to
grow worse, are due largely to the
necessity of the peasants seizing food
and forage to preserve their lives and
I ? ?
save from starvation the remainder
of their cattle. These disorders have
reached the highest pitch in the province
of Voronezh, where the troops
and Cossacks, although in considerable
force, are practically helpless
and on the defensive. Many peasants
have been killed or. wounded in desperate
attacks on the military patrols
and the rural guards.
Asthma Sufferers Should Know
This.
Foley's Honey and Tar has cured
many cases of asthma that were con
sidered hopeless. Mrs. AdolphBuesing,
701 West Third St. Davenport, Iowa,
writes: "A severe cold contracted twelve
years ago was neglected until it finally
grew into astlima. The best medical
skill available could not give me more
than temporary relief. Foley's Honey
and Tar was recommended and one fifty
cent bottle entirely cured me of asthma
which had been growing on me for
twelve years. If I had taken it at the
start I would have been saved years of
suffering. Kaufmann Drug Co.*
Sow They Stand.
The position of the candidates for
governor on the dispensary question
may be briefly stated as follows:
- Mr. Blease is satisfied with the dispensary
as it is and insists that there
has been no corruption or dishonesty
shown.
Mr. Branson is opposed teetotally to
liquor selling in any shape or form,
and is against dispensaries, State or
county, and in favor of straight prohibition.
Mr. Ansel and Mr. Jones are in favor
of local option?letting each county
decide for itself whether it shall have
dispensary or prohibition.
Messrs. Manning, .McMahan and
Sloan are evidently convinced of the
rottenness, but still insist the dispensary?a
"purified" dispensary, they
say?is the "best solution."
Mr. Edwards stands for local option
and is unalterably against the Southern
and all railroads monoplizing
traffic and travel with consolidated
lines.
/
"By It Ys Shall Be Judged."
Editor Holmes of the Barnwell People
seems to think that just any sort
of old thing will do for governor, and
that a level headed senator or representative
is a far more useful and important
personage; that the people
should take more interest in the selection
of the men who do the real work
than in the choice of the "oversee."

Talcing no Chances..
An old Pennsylvania farmer, while
on a visit to Philadelphia, says a
writer in the Public Ledger, was taken
with a violent toothache, and calling
on a dentist, was informed that the
tooth must be extracted, and that he
had better take gas for the operation.
"The patient agreed to this, and
then started to count his money.
The dentist remarked: "Oh, you
need not pay until I have finished.'*
"I reckon not," replied the farmer,
"but if you are going to make me un*

PROMOTIONS IN THE
GUARD.
Sergeant Clay C. Roberts Succeeds
Late Capt. W. W. Adams.
On account of the death of Capt. W.
W. Adams there have been several
changes in the personnel of the officers
of the guard at the State penitentiary.
All these are in the manner
of promotions. v
Sergeant Clay C. Roberts, who has
been connected with the guard for the
last seven years, becomes captain, a
-nl-ono fr\r> nr'hi/>Vi it, ia qnirl tip ifl wpll
fitted. He is a good disciplinarian
and is well trained for his new work.
Mr. P. H. Lessene becomes sergeant
of the guard. He has had varied experiences
and is one of the trusted
men of the guard. He was one of the
guards in charge of the stockade at
Winthrop college when the main building
was being lately built. Lately he
has been in charge of the commissary
at the penitentiary. In this work of
commissary clerk he will be succeeded
by Corporal J. H. Irby, one of the
guards of long experience and a good
business man. Mr. A. P. Smith succeeds
Mr. Irby as corporal in charge
of the hosiery mill squad. Mr. R. A.
Mitchell is guard house corporal and
is succeeded as yard policeman by
Mr. J. A. Sligh.
Ail oi tnese promotions are saia 10

Magistrates Not to Bun.
By an omission of ours the paragraph
referring to magistrates running
in the primary was overlooked in publishing
the work of the county t)emccratic
executive committee in last
issue. After mature and fully dis
cussing the matter, the committee
thought it best not to require magistrates
to go into the primary, but that
they be recommended to the members
of the legislature by and through their
committee.
That's a Fact.
Abduction cases are getting too
numerous. In former days horse
stealing was a capital offense. A 13year-old
girl ought to be worth half
as much as a horse and the abductor
should be made to hug a whipping
post. Preachers and notaries who
marry such should be touched up a j
little just to remind them that there
is a hereafter.?Car. Spartan.
If the Baby is Cutting Teeth,
Be sure and use that old and well tried
remedy, Mrs. Winslow's Soothing
Syrup, for children teething. It soothes
the child, softens the gums, allays
all pain, cures wind colic and is the
best remedy for diarrhoea. Twentyfive
cents a bottle,
tf It is the be9t of all. j

Voice of the Summer Girl. ,

Me,
The everlasting Summer She!
I'm here
Each year
And always young.
Age
Is not written on the page
Of any of my books
Of spirit or of looks,
And pearls of praise are strung?
For me on pliant poets' strings.
j. ne wonarous uniigs
Of music, moonlight, love and flowers
Are mine, through all the glowing hours
To weave into a witchery that lays
Its spell around the soft, sweet days
Of summer time and makes men see
The rose's radiance in me.
The lily's langour and asphodel,
"Which sings the story it may tell.
I command
The land
And rule the waves
As slaves.
Up where the mountains touch the skies
Roves my restless ent'^rise;
Down where the billot- never sleep '
The vigil of the heart I keep.
Men may come, and men may go,
The pink of youth, the white of snow,
And all
Are in my thrall,
The thrall of the Summer Girl?
Oh, mc.
The tyrant of all tyranny.
The sum of summer men's distress
And likewise their happiness.
Ain't I a bird?
Well, I guess
Yes.

to impross upon her small

' of good behavior. She had used many
illustrations, such as a story of a boy
! "who had disobeyed his mother and eaten
jam which made him sick, while
another did as he was told and was
given as much as he wished at supI
per, and finally said:
"Now, I am sure that each of you can
I tell a lvttle story or give an incident
j where good behavior was rewarded."
