Make it a Stat? Law. In Richland county thc aaa of moDL/ in the election, except for le gitim ato purposes has been prohibited by a law of the party, and so far aa our information gocB the candidates faithfu'ly carried out the letter and the spirit of the resolution adopted by the county convention. The?? was oraotioally no uso of whiskey, and drunkenness was uncommon on 1 the day of the election. The Flor ence Times ?otes the same fact as to | the election in that oounty, and seve ral other contemporaries make men tion of similar conditions in their counties, though in nearly all of theta there was no formal injunction ?ist the employment of the usual ion methods. These facts are matters of congratulation, as we have said before, but the system adopted by the Richland Democracy ought to be made the law of tbe State. There are several States in the Union which have legal enactments requiriug all candidates to make a report, under oath, as to the amount of money they spent in their canvass and what they spent it for. Anatomized statement is required, and while bribery and corruption in eleotions has not been wholly done away with, suoh practices have been greatly de creased wherever such laws are ope rative. Suoh a law wotdd not ' only have a most wholesome effect in the ^?^atje, but it would greatly decrease the oi?fofc cf a canvass to candidates, especially for State offices, because many of them, through the force of circumstances or custom, are now compelled to spend a great deal more than is legitimately required. That has been the case in Riohland here tofore, but now is at an end, and what has been done in one county can be done in the whole State. While party rules and regulations are binding on candidates, still if there was a State law requiring an itemized statement of the expendi tures of every Caudidate, whether in a primary or a general election, it would have a good effect in promot ing political purity and fairer elec tions. W.hile direct bribery in elections in this State is not so common as in some others, it is recognized that the SPECI Here i than 20 pounds Stai Sugar for $1. < customer. 10-pound box bacco for $2.45. to the customer 10-pound box only $2. 10 pounds Go for $1.

Questions of taxation and other snob matters are generally at the fore in discussions in the Legis lature. Important as these are they are in no degree greater in import vhan purity in elections and the elimination of all kinds of bribery under whatever guise it may appear. A State law such as we suggest would aid mightily in accomplishing this result. Let the Richland party rule, or something like it, be enacted into a State law.-Columbia Reoord.

Methodists Against Mob Violence. - i Statesboro, Ga., September 10.- < The Methodist Episcopal ohurch has i passed resolutions calling upon every i participant in the lynching of Reed i and Cato last month to resign mern- i bership in the ohurch unless "a pub- i Ho confession of wrong be made i with expression of penitence and I contrition.'.'

Minus his entire stomaoh, John Kolle, I oarpenter, of Beinoehlsviilo, was discharged on September 3, cured of stomaoh troubles, from a Lebanon sanitarium. Kolle was operated on aine weeks ago for a growth in the stomach that prevented digestion md assimilation of food, and bis en tire stomaoh was removed. Only twice before had this operation been successfully performed, once at Vienna, Austria, and at a New York hospital. A feature of Kolle's case is not only that he survived the loss ,)f so vital an organ, but that he is now able to eat solid food like any other citizen. On the 3d instant he dined on meat and vegetables, with the usual side dishes, just as though be had a complete stomaoh, to get full and ache. Kolle is 56 years old, is married and has a family.
