Karlo Writes of Some Things Public and Private. The following letter from Senator J. R. Earle reached The Courier too late for publication iast week, as we had gone to press before its re ceipt: Columbia, Feb. 18.-Special: The Senate last night, by a vote of 17 to 16, continued ?.ne bill to reduce tho railroad fare to 2% cents, so that the old rate will stand. It is imposible to say why this Anal vote was changed In favor of the rail roads. The bill passed its second reading by a vote of 18 to 14. The bill introduced by me to allow Circuit Judges to order extra terms of the Circuit Court in the counties in the Circuit has passed its sec ond reading in the Senate, which Insures its passage if it can get through tho house. The two bills I got through the Senate a year ago to prevent unfair discrimination by the Standard Oil Company, and providing for the in spection of oils, is still on the house calendar. I have urged and begged that they be taken up, but so far have not succeeded. My friends over there say they will pass them, but the time ls getting dangerously short. In response to many inquiries, I desire to say that I will be a candi date for re-election to the Senate this year, trusting that my course . has been in harmony with the wishes of the people, and that they will see flt to elect me for a second term. The twelve-circuit bill has finally passed, and we have to elect two more Judges. It looks as though we will have en 'nsurance commissioner with nts coterie of attaches. The following appointments have been made for Oconee county: . W. A. Barron, W. W. Burley and W. T. Grubbs, Supervisors of Reg istration. Magistrates-W. H. Talley, D. P. Grant, J. B. Marett and W. N.

The liniments did no good, and I took to blood medicines, but they did not help rae. I took a long trip in hopes that the change of cli mate might help rae. I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and determined to try them, and got a box at a drug store. They completely removed tho pain? out of my back, and I have not felt a touch ot the old trouble since I used them." For sale by all dealers. Price 60 oents.
