women, who by honest efforts have tried to repair her broken fortunes and restore the south to her proper status in the commercial world, I simply stood up and demanded for my section and my people a full share in all the benefits that should accrue from national legislation. Had I the power to frame a tariff bill, it should be simply to raise sufficient money to pay the expenses of the government, ana tne burdens should be plaited as equally as possible upon all the people of all the sections and the incidental protection be given to labor where it proper)/ belongs. For six years, by dilligent study I have tried to fit myself for the intelligent discharge of my duties as a representative. I have spared myself neither mind or body, and the only reward I ask is the "Well done, good and faithful servant." If it pleases a merciful God to restore me to health, and the people to continue me in the senate, all that patriotism and zeal can inspire will be done for South Carolina. Tn thn nnnnlo nf flic ftivfK /^iatpSnf T XV IUU uwpio w* VMV KJIAWU utgii tvv A. will say that one of the keenest disappointments of my political life is that after passing all through the state where I ^ was personally unknown, in sight of home, my strength failed. Your confidence in me has never wavered during all the storms of the past vears and your strong hands and brave hearts have sustained me in every emergency. Four times I have held your commission in congress, and I can face my God and say that my heart has ever beat true to South Carolina. I put my trust not in scheming officeseekers or men who make a business of politics, but in the great, honest masses who kuow the true from the false, the counterfeit from the genuine. With them I rest my case. A few years ago a political cyclone struck our state; it had to come iu the very nature of things, but its main purpose has been accomplished, and there is no need or excuse for factional feeling in South Carolina. The time has come when instead of bitterness of our factional fights, the progress and development of our internal resources should advertise us to the world as the land of "peace and plenty." We should stamp out what is little, petty and mean, alid send representatives abroad whose intelligence, patriotism and independence of character commands respect and confidence, and fittingly present us to the world as a broad-miudea, cultivated and progressive people. I have fallen far short of this ideal, but I have the consciousness that I have done the best that I could. Thanking my friends for the k ad symEathy expressed during my illness in the undreds of letters ana telegrams which I have received, and praising God for HgUlU resioriug IUW WJ mjr minnv suu my people, I am, Yours, etc., John L. McLaukin. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. Chief Bahr Dismissed. Governor Ellerbe has annonced the dismissal of Chief State Constable Bahr from the constabulary force. He gives no reason except that thq" grounds of dismissal are satisfactory to himself. Will Succeed ProfegHor Vinson. Chester Reporter: Mr. J. L. Douglas, a former principal of Choster graded school, has been elected professor ol mathematics in Davidson college, to succeed the late lamented Professor Viuson. Professor Douglas is eminently fitted to fill this place, both from literary qualification and natural inclination. It is a distinction worthily bestowed. McLaurln'g Condition. The State Thursday : The information comes from Bennettsville that Senator McLaurin is steadily improving. On Tuesday he was able o be up and went out for a little airing. It is hardly thought likely that his physician will permit him to attend any of the remaining campaign meetings, though he is said to be particularly desirous of speakiug at the Florence meeting on Saturday. A Rat KilUng Time. rihuurer Rnllptin Our Fort Lawn correspondent informs us that they bad a rat killing time on Thursday. Mr. S. Friedbam had a quantity of corn stored in a warehouse there and it became numerously infested with rats. A rat killing party was organized on Thursday and they brought down 900 rats as a result. The amount ol corn consumed by these rats measured 250 bushels; at least the measure was 250 bushels short of the amount stored. Senatorial Race III Abbeville. Press and Banner: While we know really nothing as to how the vote will be in Abbeville county, yet we will guess that it will stand about shis way : McLaurin will head the list. It will be nip and tuck between Evans and Irby as to which will come in second. McLaurin will get nearly as manyvotes as both his competitors. In the canvas Irby has gained some votes, while Evans has lost ground. At the beginning of the race McLaurin was a long way ahead. He lost ground for awhile but is regaining. The speeches of his competitors will insure his election. Honoring a Private. Abbeville Press and Banner: At the organization of a camp of the Sons of Veterans at this place last Thursday night, the name of a private soldier?Clark Allen?was given to the camp. This, we presume, is the first time in the history of war records that the name of any private soldier has been honored. If the soldiers themselves have ever honored one of their own number we do not now remember the circumstance?the officers and the horses having borne off the houors with snoh rf???nlRritv as to leave the impression that private soldiers were ineligible to any honor that the veterans might confer. It is Camp Clark Allen?the first camp to honor a private soldier. The honor is more pointed when it is remembered that his name beat that of John C. Calhoun, which was eloquently urged. An "Original" In Chester. Chester has just had an experience with an "original" package store, as the result of which, it looks like the original man is going to get the worst of it. The store was opeued last Saturday by Charles Whitus, who was acting as "agent" for L. F. Groves, of Pleasant Ridge, N. C. The stock consisted of some sixty pint and halfpiut bottles of corn whisky, which came to Whitus in small wooden boxes with sawdust packed around each bottle. Whitus opened along about the same hour with the dispensary and proceeded to do a rushing business uDtil Tuesday. At first, it seems, that Detective Newbold was at a loss as to how to proceed. Finally, it occurred to Solicitor Henry that Whitus had been enjoined by Judge Towiisend from ever again engaging in the sale of whisky, aud on the strength of this injunction, the fellow was arrested last Tuesday and his den was closed up. A Morel Issue In Spartanburg. Carolina Spartau: Boyce R. Pollard, candidate for the legislature, went to the Windsor hotel for his dinner last Wednesday. His statement is that he had beeu tramping around endeavoring to sell some butter and had become pretty warm. When he went in the dining room be saw no ladies present, and as he was accustomed to i-2? or u_ ?:.l .U.. eat WILD Ills UUUt UU, lie onm LU tuc waiter that be would pull it off. The waiter said all right. After he begau some ladies entered the diuing room. He finished his dinner aud handed Captain White 50 cents expecting to get 25 cents back. When he demand- , ed the change Captain White informed ' him that he charged 50 cents a meal [ for men without coats. Not liking this discrimination Mr. Pollard brought suit to recover the 25 cents and the case is set for this Tuesday. I GRAPE AND CANISTER. i A Few Hot Shots That Are Being Fired I In Lancaster. | From The Enterprise of Wednesday. "Novus Homo" sdys "Dr. Strait will lose no votes here for criticising McLaurin's tariff views." But Dr. i Strait never criticised McLaurin's tariff views, at least he said so at the Tirzah encampment, after being charged with making a weak criticism of his and Tillman's tariff ; views. Besides that, we did not ] know that Dr. Strait was in this race, s i That was a mean insinuation that 1 appeared in the Columbia Register a week ago?tbat aicLaurin's collapse at Yorkville was feigned. It is about od a parity with the alleged statement ; of the man who said the day after the j senatorial speaking here: "I told you < McLaurin would not come to Lancaster." Such mean insinuations should , be beneath any self-respecting man. 1 i Strange it is that Evans should have gotten so bristling mad when the man in the audience asked him while speaking, "what about rebates ?" Is it the truth that hurts Evans so? Theques- j tion was entirely pertinent, and espe- ] cially so since Mr. J. T. Duncan, the ! man who last year made the charges ' of rebates against Evans appeared at Newberry only a few days before the < Lancaster meeting and said that he 1 was ready with the testimony to prove ] the truth of every charge he made last year?that he \vas tired of hearing Evans pose as a martyr at his hands. Maybe Evans is trying the bulldoze on those who allude to the "rebates' but he did not try it on Duncan at Newberry, though at the Marion meeting, on Saturday, he treated another j voter to a verbal bulldozing for mak- i ing a reference to "rebates." He ' seems to be awful "touchous" on this ( question. AT THE CHURCHES. baptist. Sunday Services.?Sunday school at < 5 o'clock. 1 associate reformed.

Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
