The following expression from Senator McLaurin was sont to tho At tanta Con stitution tho night of tho election : "In responso to your request I will sny that I am, of course, deeply grateful to tho people of South Carolina for this marked evidence of their confidence and esteem. No man could have this feeling moro sincerely than I. Tho result is particularly gratifying in view of tho character of the fight that has been made upon mo and of tho serious illness which has prevented my participating in the campaigning during tho past three weeks. It is needless for mo to add that in my future service in the Sonate as in my six years of sondeo in tho lower house of Congress, my otitire enorgios nholl bo devoted to the welfare of my S'.ate, for God knows every throb of my heart has been for South Carolina and for that which I believe to bo the good of her people. "As to the moaning of my endorsement at the hands of the people I can nay that during this campaign my appeal has been to the intelligence, the honor &nd tho reason of the people. While my oppo nents have appealed to everything in human nature that is low, base and mean, tho result shows that there is more of intelligence, virtue and honoBty in South Carolina than thero is of ignorance and prejudice. "It is, too, an indorsement by the peo ple of tho State of the D?mocratie princi ple of tariff for revenue. The efforts on the part of my opponents to misrepresent my position on the tariff question may have been successful in some individual instances, but for the most part the peo Ele have understood that my star d h?xs oen squarely upon the Democratic plat form, and that my votes in try'ng to amend the Dingley bill were cast in de fense of the people whom I represent and to compel the Republican party to place the South as nearly as possible upon an equal footing with tho balance of the country. They have indorsed my record in so voting, as I knew they would, for the principle which inspired those votee was tho true Democratic principle of equality. 4With regard to internal affairs in South Carolina 1 regard the result of this primary as meaning pre-eminently the end of factional fooling in the State. A new political era has dawned on tho State. Up to this timo for the past six years the elections, State, county, munic ipal, from county coroner up, have only been a question as to the man who could shout the loudest for the Keform faction and for Tillman. I do not moan to say anything against Senator Tillman or to impugn the motives of the men who have been calling lor reform, but I bolieve tho time has come when something else is required of public menor aspirants for office generally. The decision of the people from this timo forward is goiog to bo based on tho ability and tho character of tho 'mem and tho doctrine and prin ciples ho ad vocates. That is one moaning of tho result of this primary and so far as South Carolina is conoerned it is by no moans tho least. John L. McLaurin. Ynndcrcoclr. Talks. Mr. W. A. Vandercock, the big San Francisco wine grower aud dealer, whose fight against the State dispensary has made him quito well known here, arrived in the city yesterday. "Yes, I'm boro to see tor myself what tho real situation is," said Mr. Vander cock, pleasantly, when approached by a reporter, "and to establish agencies all over the State. You see, no e mount of correspondence can explain South Caro lina's liquor problem. Afier coming on here I understand tho situation and in tend to establish agencies id every place of any eize in tho Stato. For convenience in distributing our goods I have started a branch agency in Atlanta. From there no difficulty will bo experienced in filling the orders from this Stato " Mr. Vandercock said ho had made Mr. W. ?. Meetzo his agent in this city. The demands for his wines were Increasing and his shipments amounted to from two to four carloads a month. In-rosponeo to tho questi'-u of what ho thought of the dispensary law, Mr. Van dercock answered that high license, in his opinion, would be better. "What you people ought todo." said he, "is to on Thrown From a Horse It matters not ?rom what cause the blood becomes poisoned, it is impossi ble for the doctors to effect a cure. This class of disease has puzzled the science of medicine for ages, and the same treatment that was employed centuries ago is now prescribed. Pot ash and mercury are the component parts of every doctor's prescription for diseases of the blood. Many of the so-called blood puri fiers are based on potash and mercury. In fact, S. 8. 8. (Swift's Specific) is the only blood remedy that ie guar anteed purely vegetable, and is the only one that contains no harmful ingredients. S. 8. 8. is the only blood remedy that cures real blood diseases, obstinate cases that physicians and other remedies have failed to cure. It never fails to cure a blood disease no matter how deep-seated the case. Miss Bertha Whixwood. Mr. H. Kuhn, of Marion, Kansas; writes : "About three years ago my grand daughter Bertha Whitwood, was thrown from a horse, receiving a wound of the scalp. Under the treat ment of physicians the wound seemed obstinate, and for several months re mained about the same, until it finally became very angry looking, and broke out into a running sore. This soon spread to other parts of the scalp, and ! ran down the aide of the neck, in creasing ie severity, and fearfully disfiguring her. "After being constantly under a physician for a year, and her condi tion a great deal worse than at first, we placed ber under the care of the faculty of a well-known hospital, but even the treatment she received there failed to arrest the terrible sore. "Reading of the many cures of blood troubles effected by S. S. S.f we decided to try it, and it relieved her promptly. At first this remedy seemed to increase the discharge, forcing out the poison; this soon ceased altogether, and the place began to heal. In a few months she was entirely cured, and scarcely a mark now remains where the disease held full sway." S. S. S. is the right remedy for all blood diseases, and is the only cure for Contagious Blood Poison, Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer, Rheumatism, Ca tarrh, etc., no matter how deep-seated the case. S. S. S. is guaranteed Purely Vegetable and contains not a particle of mer cury, potash, or other mineral, which means so much to all who know the disastrous effects of these drugs.

This would not only be beneficial as a temperance measure, but it would serve to build up a paying industry in this S'ate?that of wine growing. By placing a high license on the sale of all liquors containing, say IS or 20 percent, ol alcohol, aud exempting those which did not contain that percentage, the State would be encouraging its citizens to raise wine. Since coming here I am told that from the 6Cuppernong grape a yield of 1,000 gallons an aero can be obtained. The wine from this grape is excellent, in fact it makes a very fine dry wine, and would even produce champegno "But leave the quality of ihe wine out. In California new wino sells for 21 conts a gallon, and a yield of a thousand gallons an acre would bring $210. What crop have you that would bring that much? And with your cheap labor here grapes could be raised for much less than in California, where we pay a Chinaman 81 a day, which is twice as much os you pay your negro laborer. Twenty-five dollars at the most would make your crop and there you have a profit left of $185 an acre. Other grapes would do as well here as the scuppernong. "Since traveling over this State I am ready to say that the soil is particularly well adapted to grape growing. In pro ducing the finer and drier wines you don't need too rich a soil. Fertilizers would be unnecessary, in fact injurious. "Why, in France where the finest champagne is made, the grapes are grown on rocky hillsides. After coming here and seeing what you people could do, I am surprised that you don't start at once to raising wine. Foster the industry as I have said by placing a high license on liquors containing over 20 per cent, of alcohol and exempting wines, and you will have some of the finoBt vineyards in the cou c try." Mr. Vandercock has been over the greater part of the State. Ile bas estab Hghed 15 or 20 agencies and will have others. He is very much pleased wih his trip to the Palmetto State. Ho will re main in the city until to-morrow.?Co lumbia State. Two Kinds of EvaugcIIsts. The evangelist is a "proacher who goes from place to place holding services, es pecially with a view to church revivals." That is the definition given by the Stand ard Dictionary. Sometimes a church ap points evangelists, or home missionaries, for the two duties are combined, as in the Presbyterian Church in this Sute. The evangelist works in the regular churches with the pastors and with the consent of the official members. They also preach in out of-the-way placee, and sometimes establish a chnrch in a new place. That is where the missionary work comee in. Such eveugelist?, when suited in mind, preparation, piety and good common sense to the work, do much good and as sist the pastors in their regular ministra tions. Then there are evangelists that go forth without the orders oi any church. They go any and everywhere without the direction of Presbytery or Conference. Many of this class do not seek the help or assistance of the regular pastors. Some of them seek to dissatisfy the people with their pastors and chnrch es. They raise disturbances wherever go. They may do good in their way. Recently several persons have asked how l o treat these evangelists who come with no authority and without the invita tion of the churches where they build their brush arbors or set up their tents. The best plan Is to let them alone. In this free country any man has a right to preach any sort of Gospel when he can get a crowd to listen to him. If these evangelists are doing good and setting people to reading the Bible and good books and papers and leading better lives, then they are doing a good work. If they abuse churches and pastors and seek to dissatisfy people with tbeir regular churches, then their work will soon come to naught. People cannot be fooled, even in religious matters, very long. If you do not wish to hear tbom just let them alone and attend more earnestly to your own church work and religious dutioa.? Spartcmburg Sp?rtait. ? In an editorial article on "new uses of corn," printed a few days ago, the Chicago Tribune gives some information which will interest all housewives, and a good many other people hereabouts. It says : 'The enforoed economy made ne cessary during the last few years has un doubtedly encouraged an important sub stitution of corn for wheat as a breadstuff. Even when the disparity between the prloes of corn and wheat was less marked than at the present time, the substitution of corn, particularly in the adulteration of wheat Hour, began to attract general attention in milling circles. By improved corn milling processes the prooortion of corn flour which wheat flour will carry without much danger of detection has been greatly increased during the last few years. There ?b an apparent desire on the part of millers to withhold data on this subject. Notwithstanding the whole somonesB of products of the great Ameri can cereal, it must be admitted that the great part of the corn which has been put into consumption has masqueraded under guise of wheat flour. The consumption of corn as a ?ood for human beings is greater in this country than abroad. It is particular / large in the South, and it is safe to say that a great part of the flour milled for the Southern trade during the last two years has carried a full quota of corn." Of course, if the corn passes for flour iu all respects, there is no barm done except in the fraud that is perpe trated. If we are to eat oorn flour with wheat flour, however, it would be better to make the mixture for ourselves, in stead of paying our Yankee neighbors the price of pure wheat flour for it. Flour mills in the South might use the Tribune's revelation to their advantage. ? Many of the more careful bar keepers in Yuma and Phoenix, Arizona, refuse to sell any whiskey or brandy to hard drinkers when the mercury is ranging from 110 to 115 degrees in the shade. Last summer half a dozen miners went on a spree when the temperature was at about 118 degrees; three of them died as they lay asleep in the broiling sun, and one of the others has been demented ever since.

ScoTT.snoRO, Ind., Aug 20.?Remarka ble as it may seem, there are two small fields of corn in Scott County which will yield over 200 bushels to tho acre. Ono.is owned by Marlon Harrod, of Alpha, nine miles north of here, and consists of one aero, off of which Mr. Ilarrod claims ho will raise 250 bushels. Tho other is a field of seven acres, owned by E. P. Mo Caelin, of this city, who introduced it here, and it will yield fully as much per aero as tho field owned by Mr. Har rod. Last year Mr. McCaslin made scientific experiments in the culturo of corn on his farm, seven miles north of here. Ho raised twenty-two varieties, many of which aro woolly unknown to tho farm ers of Indiana, and some of which are without a name. His experiments prov ed highly successful, practically and sci entifically, but the most notable and important by far was tho species referred to. It has no name other than that supplied by ita producer, who has named it Cornu copia, or th9 horn of plenty. It may sound startling to say that 200 bushels of it can bo raised to tho acre, but it is true, and the poorest ground will produco 100 bushels. Tho wonderful corn was originated by a Kentucky grower about four years ago, and Mr. McCaslin thinks he had last year every gr ain that remained of the first crop, which wae the only one raised, it be ing the outgrowth of a long succession of experimen ts in crossing various spe cies. Mr. McCaslin be.?an with one ear of it, or 248 grains. Out of these, owing to the drought last spring', but 242 sprouted, and from these he reaped a harvest of a little over seven bushels. Mr. Harrod obtain ed some of tbc grain. Every stalk of this remarkable corn produces at least five well-filled oars av eraging at least th::ee, which are ten in ches in length.! while on some stalks are to be found as many as ten perfect ears. Tbie, however, Is unusual, and is caused by extreme wot weather. The corn Is a stout grower, and tho stalks aro more than two inches in diameter. It is a white dent?the most valuable raised?of first class quality, being very solid on tho cob, and runs from ten to fourteen rows to tho cob. Five oars taken from one stalk se lected at random lastt year, and thorough ly dried, weighed two pounds and eight ounces, which would be over 200 bushels to the acre, tho corn being planted eighteen inches apart. The corn does not stool and should not bo planted more than two grains to the hill, as more im pairs the quality. Mr, McCaslin thinks it will produce 200 bushels to the acre if planted one grain to each hill, and tho most of his is so planted this year. Was not Ashamed. A San Francisco manufacturer has ad vised his little eon. not once, but fifty times, to avoid contentions with other children, but if a quarrel is forced upon him to defend himself at all hazards. The boy is a mombsr of tho Plymouth Congregational Sunday-school, and it is tho custom of tho pastor of the church to give every child in tte Sabbath school a nice little Bible on ths Sunday following his 7th birthday. last 8unday it was Master Kerr's turn to receive a Bible, and when his name was called he marched forward with a black oye he had received in a fight with another urchin the day bo fore. The pastor eyec'. the boy's face nar rowly and the whole congregation titter ed. The little follow f lushed with embar rassment, but accepted the Bible as grace fully as possible, listened to a few words of commendation and advice and started for his seat. The tittering was renewed, and when half way down the aisle the boy'e pont-up feelings could be restrain ed no longer. He resonted the imputa tion convoyed, firet by the pastor's searching gaze and then by the congrega tion's amusement, and, stopping in the aisle, he turned around and shouted: "W?ll, licked him, anyway!" ?

I have seldom felt a more delicious sense of repose than when, crossing 1 the ocean during the summer months, ? [ sought a place where I could lie ] ilone on the deck, look up at the con- i ?tellations. with Lyra near the zenith, md while listening to the clank of the l engine try to calculate the hundreds i of millions of years which would be | required by our ship to reach the star Alpha Lyr if she could continue her ; course in that direction ?thout ever I stopping. It is a striking example of i how easily we may fail to realize our : knowledge when I say that I have : thought many a time how deliciously one might pass those hundred millions of years in a journey to the star Alpha Lyr without its occurring to me that we are actually making that very journey at a speed compared with which the motion of a steamship is slow indeed. Though every year, every hour, every minute of human history, from the first appearance of man on the earth, from the era of the builders of the pyramids, through the- times of C sar and Hannibal, through the period of every event that history records, not merely our earth, but the sun and the whole solar system with it have been speeding their way toward the star ol which I speak on a journey of which we know neither the begin ning nor the end. During every clock beat through which humanity has ex isted it has moved on this journey by an amouni which we cannot specify more exactly than to say that it is probably between five and nine miles per second. "We are at this moment thousands of miles nearer to Alpha Lyr than we were a few minutes ago when I be gan this discourse, and through every future moment, for untold thousands of years to come, the earth and all there is on it will be nearer to Alpha Lyr , or nearer to the place when; that star now is, by hundreds of mileii for every minute of time come and fone. When shall we get there? 'robably in less than a million years, perhaps in half a million. We cannot tell exactly, but get there we must if the laws of nature and the laws of motion continue as they are. To attain to the stars was the seemingly vain wish of the philosopher, but the whole human race is in a certain sense realizing this wish as rapidly as a speed of six or eight miles a second can bring it about.?Address hy Prof. Simon Neiccomh. ?

A good story has been told by a 'amily doctor regarding a little ruse ?dopted by one of his patients who ?vished to save the expense of consult ing him. The patient was a woman of good means, but of frugal disposition. One day she began to feel some alarm re garding her health, and, wishing to avoid a costly procedure, made an ap plication to a life insurance company Por a policy of large amount?so large, indeed, that they delegated three med ical men to make an exhaustive exam ination of her before they could accept her as a risk. In due time she was informed that her life had been accepted. She was thus in a position to assume that she was quite well, whereupon she replied to the company that she had changed her mind,' and did not intend to take out a policy just then.?Pearson's Weekly. _ Eccentric Wooing. Numberless anecdotes are related of the eccentricities and characteristic acts of Rev. Lorenzo Dow, the famous itinerant Methodist preacher. Mr. Collins relates that when he was a widower, he said to the congregation one day at the close of his sermon : "lama candidate for matrimony; and if there is any woman in this au dience who is willing to marry me, I would thank her to rise." A woman rose very near the pulpit, and another in a distant part of the house. Mr. Dow paused a moment, then said : "There are two ; I think this one near me rose first ; at any rate, I will have her for my wife." This woman was in good standing and possessed of considerable proper ty. Very soon after this eccentric wooing she became Mrs. Dow. ?

There are Mowers on the market claiming ''Roller Bearings like the Deering," but their claim is false and misleading. They have simply one set of rollers at euch end of the main shaft, where they are the least service, because the shaft turns slowly, no rollers on the gear shaft where they are most needed because of the speed with which it revolves, und no Ball Bearings at all. Complete Deering Roller Bearing in detail. (Reduced by Photograph.) Worse still, their rollers are held in behind ratched hubs, which are forced onto the shaft by hydraulic pressure, thr.e to s'ay until an equal or greater pressure is ex erted to get them off. Such Bearings are sure to gum up, because the rollers f?t into holes drilled into end plates instead of lying loosely in the cage or frame as do the pat ented Deering Rollers ; and when those Rollers do gum up it is good bye Mower, for even if you do succeed in smashing the ratched bnbs off the axle the new hubs that that Company will sell you at 500 per cent profit will have to be marie loose f nough to slip over the axle, where they will be held alone by a liny pin that is sure to shear off Remember, that the competing Company that is now talking so loud about its ' Roller Bearings" spent teDS of thousands of dollars to fight the roller bearing idea ever since 18?3, when Deering came out with them, and at last was forced egainst its will to adopt hastily some construction which would permit the u^e of the nieglc words, "Roller Bearings " Como to our Storo and we will be glad to explain the difference. _BROCK BROS., Anderson, S.
