C. , Hearst's personally conducted | parcydidnot cut much ice in the| Vermont election on Tuesday. . Tom Watson is still circulating the ] lies started by Alfred Henry Lewis j on the Hon Wiiliam Jennings Bry an. Taft and Foraker have made friends, and now they will pull to gether in the interest of, the thiev ing trusts. Caughman is a fair, square man. He declined to take any stock in an attack made on his opponent, Cans ier, by Fislwurne. Calhoun County has an accom-1 plished gentleman for her first Sen ator, who will most worthily repre sent her in our highest legislative J body. The News and Courier and thej State are pouring hot shot into the Hon. John Gary Evans. They have I embraced this opportunity to even | up old scores. Ble'ase intimates in a card of . thanks that he will be a candidate for Governor again. It seems im possible for some people to know) ? when to quit. {j The Hon. George W. Fairey, of Fort Motte, was in the city one day this week. He did not look any the worse for his encounter with the Calhoun county ring. ? Little John Temple Graves has not been notified yet of his being named as a stool pigeon for the Re publicans by Hearst. Why keep the little political acrobat in suspense longer? Let every Democrat in Orange burg County do what he can to make Mellichamp the next State Superintendent of Education. He has a splendid chance to win, and his home county must give him a| solid vote. The Republican campaign com mittee pretend that they find it diffi cult to collect campaign funds. This is only an effort to try to fool the I public that the trusts are not foot-1 ing their bills this campaign but it wont work. Mu. J. F. Evans gives through the Times and Democrat one dollar for the Democratic campaign fund. This, with the five dollars contribut ed by the Times and Democrat, makes six dollars we have in hand. Who will be the next contributor? Some candidates in the late pri mary know now that abusing news papers don't make people vote for them. The newspapers are going on their way rejoicing whil<; the candidates who abused them are| now members of the "also ran" class. There is no use to get excited over the primary. All the candi dates who are to be voted for are very good men and it will make little difference to the rank and file who is nominated. It matters not who secures the plums we will have to plow on. Congressman Lever has contrib uted $75 to the Democratic Con gressional Committee and $25 to the National Democratic Committee. Many people will think that a very small contribution to a great cause from a Congressman who draws S7, 500 each year from the public crib. Some two hundred mill hands have been induced to leave Augus ta and go to New Orleans by an agent of the mills in the latter city. It is to be regretted that one Southern city will thus take advantage of the ca lamities of another. Such base ac tion will not raise New Orleans in the estimation of the country, Refused to Be Intimidated. Samuel Gompers, president; Frank Morrison, secretary, and John Mitchell, member of the exec utive committee of the American Federation of Labor, have been cit ed to appear before Judge Gouljl of the District of Columbia on Septem ber 8, and answer to the charge of contempt. ,They are charged with having violated the courts order not to put a certain stove company's name in the "We don't patronize" list of the American Federationist, which is the official organ of the American Federation of Labor. The manager of the stove compa ny, after claiming for many years that the "boycott" was really help ing his business, brought suit before Judge Gould of the district of Co-' lumbia, asking an injunction to prevent further publication of the company's name in the Federation ist. Judge Gould issued the re straining order. The company's manager now avers that the order has been disobeyed, and acting on this information Judge Gould has cited the officials to answer to con tempt charges. Following the orig inal order the Federationist; dropped its "We don't patronize" list, but Mr. Gompers, the editor, comment ed on the order in every issue of the official organ. It is claimed that these comments were "sarcastic," "contemptuous" and "ingenious evasions" of the order. Mr. Gompers refuses to make any statement regarding the matter at this time except to say that as between obeying such an or der and ? yielding his rights as an American citizen he will cling to his rights. Owing to the prominence in the labor movement of the men in volved, and the public interest in the questions of injunctions and in direct contempt, Judge Gould, who is a Republican, will find some con venient excuse to postpone his de* cision in this case until "after the election." The cade was brought to intimidate Gompers and the others to prevent them from taking an ac tive part in the campaign in the in terest of Bryan as they said they would do, but it failed of its object. Plan Works Wrell. A Washington dispatch to the New York World says Attorney General Bonaparte smashed Okla homa's Bryanite guarantee of bank deposits. In an opinion sent to the treasury department he held that it is beyond bank to become a party to any de posit guaranteeing scheme. There fore every national bank in Okla homa will have to withdraw from the mutual deposit insurance scheme organized under the laws of Okla homa in accordance with the sug gestion of William J. Bryan. Prac tically every national bank in the new state is a party to the guaran tee plan. Many of them, went in to it believing it to be meritorious. The others were forced in through loss of business. The comptroller of the currency has been fighting against the new departure since March. Some of the banks asked leave to join. He rsfused all requests but?refusals did not keep them out. Many national banks in Oklahoma have intimated to the comptroller of the currency that in the event they are forbidden to participate in the deposit guarantee they will give up their federal charters and reorga nize under the- banking laws of Ok lahoma. All the participators in the plan advertise the fact that their de posits are guaranteed by the state and they are getting business away from national banks by reason of the guarantee, as well as from Kan sas and Texas institutions. It will be seen that "Oklahoma's Bryanite guarantee of bank deposits," is not in much danger of being smashed but the national banks will have to fall in line. Must Fare the Music. ? The republican members of con gress, having evidently realized that Mr. Bryan and a democratic con gress will be elected next fall, have attempted by fabulous appropria tions for the support of the imperi alistic program, and so on, to place the treasury in such a condition as to, if possible prevent a reduction of the tariff, which grinds the masses but enriches the trusts. And not content with that piece of rascality, they are blaming the democrats for the deficit. Here is what the Seattle Daily Times said about it editorially in its issue of June 3: "In his ef fort to sidestep responsibility for appropriating $130,681,880 more than the total estimated revenues of the government, Chairman James A. Tawney of the appropriations committee, charges that 'the efforts of the Republican majority to main tain a policy of greater economy were frustrated by an obstructive and recalcitrant minority.' Ha, ha, ho, ho. he, he. With a brutal ma jority over all of fifty, an autocrat ic speaker and a trained rules com mittee, making it possible for the republicans to do absolutely any thing that pleased them, Mr. Taw ney 's attempt to plavthe baby act is absurdly silly. The republicans have wiped out the surplus and they will have to stand for it.". I Lincoln and Negro Suffrage. I Recently the New York Evening Post declared that negro suffrage was "the greatest achievement of Abraham Lincoln and the Republi can party." In answer to the pro test of a correspondent, who de scribed the grant of negro suffrage j as "a stupendous error, excusable on no other grounds but war time passions," the Evening Post declar ed that "the enfranchisement of the negro was not the result of passion but a statesmanlike action, I certain of some bad results, but justified in that it alone saved the negro from re-enslavement under another name." The Evening Post further asserted its belief in univer sal manhood suffrage "without re gard to the moral character of the voter." As the Macon Telegraph says. The Evening Post has a right to these opinions or to any others, however extraordinary, that it may elect to hold. But whether univer sal negro suffrage was the greatest or the least achievement of the Re publican party, it can not be accu rately described as an achievement of Abraham Lincoln. His idea was an experiment of negro suffrage limited to a very few. In his letter to Governor Hahn of conquered Louisiana, he said: "I barely suggest, for your pri vate consideration, whether some of the colored people may not be let in, as, for instance, the very intelligent, and especially those who have fought gallantly in our ranks. But .this is only a suggestion, not to the pu blic, but you alone." In his debates with Douglas just before the war Lincoln 'very frank ly" declared that he was "not in fa vor of negro citizenship." In the same debates he said: "There is a physical difference between the two races which in my judgement, will probably forever forbid them living together upon the footing of per fect equality." Doubtless it was for this reason that almost to the last he favored the deportation and colonization of the slaves as soon as they were set free. To a deputa tion of free blacks on August 14, 1?o*2, he declared that the only so lution of the problem was the sep eration of the races referring to his plan of colonizing the freedmen in ^purchased foreign ./territory. "On this broad continent/', he frankly said to them, "not a single man of your race is made the equal of ours. Go where you are treated the b-ist. and the ban is still on you. I do not propose to discuss this but to pre sent it as a fact." The Overshadowing Issue. The Republicans have at last found the great and overshadowing issue in the present campaign, so far as they are concerned. Mr. James Schoolcraf ISherman says it is ".Shall the administration of President Roosevelt be approved?" The Au ?gusta Chronicle says "a little furth er stressing of this great 'issue' and the elephant himself, will turn tail and trot in the opposite direction from the white house. The country is something like the Kingdom of Frogs, which grew weary of their King, the stump, and brought xiDon themselves, by prayer another ruler a stalk who began to gobble them up. Republicans themselves are tired of being gobbled as it is a di version that soon wears upoa the nerves; and the rest of the country never cared for it, in the first place. But even if Roosevelt had never made things lively by the gobbling process, and had given thorough de light and satisfaction to his party, he would yet lack the ability to transmit his power and personality to his successor. Human nature, as a general thing, refuses to wax with enthusiasm over an understudy, no matter with what skill and consci entious imitation he represents the star. The proposition of calling for an approbation vote scarcely stands like a ringing call to arms." A Call to Democrats. Next Tuesday Democratic voters in South Carolina will have oppor tunity to do something tor the par ty of the nation. The following letter issued Wednesday by state Chairman Jones is self-explanatory: Columbia, Sept, 2. 1908. To the County Chairmen of the Dem ocratic Party of South Carolina: Gentlemen: It has been suggested to me that a box be put at each pre cinct next Tuesday at the second primary election for the pur pose of taking up a collection for the national campaign fund. It strikes me as a splendid idea, and I most earnestly request the county chairmen to give this im portant matter their immediate attention, and to request the managers at polls to carry out this plan. I would suggest that a cigar box be used for that purpose, . and tnat the money be handed to the cmnty chairmen w.^.o are requested to remit to the State chairman, who will remit it to the National Democratic Com mittee at Chicago. Very respectfully, Wilie Jones, Chairman. Every voter should contribute. No contribution is too small. Where there cannot'be dollars, dimes should not be withheld. We hope the Demo crats of Orangeburg County will re-1 spond to the call. j Pay no attention to reports that may be circulated at this late day about candidates.

Have we abundant proof that Peruna is in real j ity such a catarrh remedy ? Let us see what the United States Dispensatory' says of the principal ingredients of Peruna. I Take, for instance, the ingredient hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal. The United States Dispensatory says of this herbal remedy, that it is largely employed in the treatment of depraved mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis (nasal catarrh), atonic dyspepsia (ca tarrh of the stomach), chronic intesti nal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice (ca tarrh of the liver), and in diseased mucous membranes of the pelvic organs. It is also recommended for the treatment of various forms of dis eases peculiar to women. I Another ingredient o f Peruna, cory dalis formosa, is classed in the United States Dispensatory as a tonic So also is cubebs classed as a stomachic and as a tonic for the mucous membranes. Cedron seeds is another ingredient of Peruna, an excellent drug that has been very largely overlooked by the medical profession for the past fifty years. The seeds are to.be found in very few drag stores. The United States Dispensatory says of the action of cedron that it is used as a bitter tonic and in the treatment of dysen tery, and in intermittent diseases as a substitute for quinine. Oil of copaiba, another ingredient of Peruna, is classed by the United States Dispensatory as a mild stimu lant and diuretic. It acts on the stom ach and intestinal tract. It acts as a stimulant on the genito-urinary mem branes. Useful in chronic cystitis, chronic dysentery and diarrhea, and some chronic diseases of the liver and kidneys. Send to us for a free book of testi monials of what the people think of Peruna as a catarrh remedy. The best evidence is the testimony of those who have tried it.
