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.

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.,

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.

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..

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

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.

noafiiAcc rnnnnt bo Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. 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.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

THE BEST TIME TO PAINT
IS, of course, when the temperature is
normal, for the reason that the wood
is then in a more natural condition and
the paint will set faster and more perfectly

MASURY'S RAILROAD PAINT under
such conditions, you will secure a
job, which, in effect, finish and durability,
can be secured by the use of no other
paiut in the world. MASURY'S PAINT

Speck. He'll
Save You Money,
And fit your eyes with the same
quality of eye-glasses for $i, for
which the "traveling opticians"
charge $2.00. He buys from the
same houses and can "examine"
your eyes as well as anyone, and
can always be found at his store
to make good his claims. Gold
frames, of course, add to the cost.
