The hope of the Republicans i* lo buy up the election. Every Democrat in Orangeburg county should vote on Tuesday. Elected or defeated, Bryan will still be the greatest American living. Tt Taft is elected, the trusts will take a little tighter grin on th-e people. The Springfield Republican says it is possible for Bryan to be elected without the aid of New York. Senator Tillman urges all Demo crats to vote on Tuesday as a rebuke to the Crumpackers and other South haters at the North. The blind tiger whiskey sold uu in Newberry county mu3t be fearful stuff if we accept the contention that drinking is the cause of most mu-r dera. Mr. Chapin, the Prohibitionist Presidential candidate, says Taft has so ideas. Teddy has prohibited Taft from having sufch a thing as an idea. Teddy nestles up as close to the Steel Trust as a sick kitten does to a hot brick. Surely the ox knoweth nis owner and the ass his master s .crib. Mr. Bryan seems to be perfectly confident he will be elected, and he will, unless the Republicans can get their immense corruption fund into action. Finlayson, who writes from New York for several papers in this State, sticks to his prediction that Bryan will carry New York State by forty thousand majority. Roosevelt's brother-in-law, Taft's brother and "Land-graft" Sherman,] Republican Vice-Presidential candi date, all seem to be mixed up in j somo kind of rascally deal or other. | It makes no difference what the result of the Presidential election may be, William Randolph Hearst will come out of the campaign with the brand of liar and thief written <3 across his brow. The greatest ovation ever paid a candidate in this country was given Bryan in New York on Tuesday During the day he spoke to three hundred thousand voters In and around New York and Brooklyn. No living man can say for certain who will be etected President, but all the signs indicate that William Jennings Bryan will be. This is the way it looks to us, and we will believe it until the vote is counted. Chairman Mack, of the Democrat ic National Committee, has wired Chairman Wille Jones to urge th'i Democrats of South Carolina to turn out next Tuesday and pile up a rous ing: majority for Bryan and Kern. Mr?. Bonnie Mattlock, aged seven teen years, a bride cf a few month-.-, killed herself at Shreveport, La., be cause her husband, a Methodist, would not go with her to a Baptist) church. What fools these mortals j be. It is generally believed that the money fcr the Republicans to buy up the election will be furnished oy the Steel Trust, which, by the as sistance of the thieving tariff, robs the people of the United State every year of eignt million donars. It is willing to pay for this privilege given it by the Republicans. Poor little Johnnie Temple Graves. He has certainly cut a sorry ana humiliating figure prancing around over the country as a stool pigeon of the "Unspeakable" Hearst. Mr. John Archbold informs the public that Hearst is a liar. It seems to us that this Is somewhat belated in formation. Tho public has known for a long timo that Hearst was a liar. Hearst is quoted as having sail in a speech in New York: "Mr. Graves is not one of the editors of my papers. He was at one time a contributor, but so have been many public men. Mr. Graves is editor and part owner of a paper in At lanta. Ga., in which I have no inter - est whatever." This looks like little I Johnnie. Temple will soon be back *B his Atlanta job. The "Unspeaka^e Hearst." 1 Hearst has read some more of his ' stolen Standard Oil letters. This last batch involves Gov. William A Stone, Judge John Henderson, Judge " John P. Elkins, typical Pennsylvania. I Republican politicians. When he r read these letters Hearst went out " of his way to drag from their graves r Grover Cleveland,William C. Whit ney, Calvin S. Brlce, Mark Hanna, i and the Paynes In order to connect the name of these dead statesmen ? with his Standard Oil scandal. In a current magazine is given a > detailed account of Hearst's part m i the theft or this private and confi > deDtial correspondence, and says (he * Augusta Chronicle, after reading it. it is impossible to conceive .how any r man who played Hearst's part in this 1 pilfering of another man's letter files t can have the effrontery to go before i the public asking for their confidence and a hearing, much less as the lead er of a political party which essays ' to national influence. And this is true regardless of the J possible salutary effect of these ex i posures upon public affairs. For, , whatever is to be gained in this di ? rection, there is nothing to be said in palliation of the contemptible 1 crime to which Hearst, himse'f, was i a party. Hearst's accomplices in ? this wholesale theft of private cor respondence were a negro porter and a white degeneratd who was the friend and associate of the negro. Hearst was just as much a thief as 1 either of his accomplices. William Winfield was the step-son of Mr. Archbold's old butler of ' twenty years' service, and was em ployed in Mr. Archbold's offic-j as doorkeeper and messenger. Charles Stump, a young white man. held a minor position in the same office. Winfield and Stump, as before stated, notwithstanding the difference in their color, were boon companions: played the races together, frequented the same dives, and finally went into a co-partnership as proprietors of a negro dive established wirb the mon ey paid them by Hearst for stealing the Standard Oil letters. It was this pair of worthless who sought Hearst with their stolen let ters; or, rather, it was Stump, him self, who after receiving the letteis from Winfield, went to Hearst's newspaper office and negotiated the sale. Hearst, or his agents, agreed to pay something over $12,000 for the letters, and day after day, a batch of stolen letters were brought, to him by Stump, were promptly photographed by Hearst's photogra phers, and as promptly returned to Mr. Archbold's files. , This was kept up from day to day, until all of the compromising let ters were stolen and photographed, and the negatives securely put away in Hearst's safe. This was nearly four years ago, or from the early par.t jof Dece.mher, 1904, ( to th-3 middle of 'February, 1905, and Hearst has kept the negatives, of the stolen, letters in his possession from that day to this, waiting for his op portunity to use them in his effort to build up a national political party of his own. In the language of the Chronicle "did any political party, in any country, ever have such a beginning? Was any man ever before shameless enough to go before the people as a political leader, with his chief po litical stock in trade based on an act of common theft? Worse still, as the accomplice of a negro thief and his white stool pigeon? We say again that undoubtedly, much of this stolen correspondence shows up bad ly for such men as Foraker, Slbley, and others, but does it place William Randolph Hearst in any more en viable light before that public whose sense of decency he has so long out | raged? "Mr. Watterson has referred to him as the 'unspeakable Hearst.' The characterization seems most appro priate; for, as must be admitted, it is impossible to even contemplate such a man without a blush; whi'e it is worse than humiliating to Amei t ican citizenship to havs to observe that one of his kind can not only get an audience among men and wo men of this country, but can? through the power of his inherited millions?actually empioy men to run as candidates of a national party of his own creation, and perhaps, too, employ a .certain number of j people to vote for them." Contemptible and Cowardly Insin uation. We reproduce below an editorial note taken from Collier's Weekly, which, we are sorry to say, is admit ted Into many Southern homes, com menting on the lynching of negroes for outrages committed against whire women in the Scuth. Here is the contemptible and cowardly Insinu ation made against our women: "It is well known that many 'identification' are sheer hyste ria, often for crimes that never were committed, and many other charges and identifications are founded on SOMETHING WORSE than hysterical invention; they are the easiest escape from scandal. Now these are not the things to say, no doubt. They altogether lack chivalry and the aristocratic virtues. But perhaps it is time to put justice and truth above 'hon or,' whatever that may be." "Here we have the bold Insinua ! tion that white women bring charges of assault against negroes," says the Augusta Cnroniclo. "In order to cover-up 'something worse'?as tha j 'easiest escape from scandal.' Mean l ing, of course, if it means anything at all. that It Is the discovery of j relations with th ??e same negroes.] perhaps?and, certainlv, with some-1 body?that prompts these white wo men, in some instances to 'identify someone. "It is inconceivable that such an i infamous thought could have been formed in the brain of a white man who pretends to any degree of re ' spectability, much less be deliberate J ly uttered by the editor of a period ical which is permitted to enter the homes of respectable white people. ' "To attempt to censure the autho. j of such utterances, would, perhaps, i be a waste of time, in so far as hav ing any influence on his own moral and mental status is concerned?for nature has, too evidently, placed ber limitations upon him?but it may not be without results, as indicating to the readers of Collier's Weekly the character of publication which they permit to enter their homes. "Lacking In 'chivalry and aristo cratic virtues;' but placing 'justice and truth' above honor. It rather emphasizes the outrageous Insult for such a. creature to use such words in connection with" a subject about which he, obviously, knows nothing ?or In connection with the name of woman at an. " It is not necessary to defend the crime of Ijnching itself to hold be neath the contempt ?he man who ppeaks first In sympathy wi:h the black brutes whose unmentionabla crimes drive good men and brave to take the law into their own handa, and in doing so, offers th* sugges tion that they are too often 'Iden tified' ?nn put to death to cover up 'something worse' th\n criminal assault?-as the 'easiest e^cap-i from scandal.' " Bryan in the West. Mr. Seaborn Wright, of Georgia, who has been campaigning out West for several weeks, and who ha3. therefore, a pretty good opportunity to study political conditions both in the middle and far west, in writing to the Atlanta Journal says he wou11 not be at all surprised to see a great Bryan victory in both sections, til says all of the enthusiasm is with Bryan?his followers are alert and sanguine of success, the crowds are with him, everywhere, and if Bryan loses it can be attributed to two caus es. First, the threat, growing stronger every day, that the great industries still operating, will close in the event of his election, and la bor, broadly speaking, thrown in th*: tramp list. "Gompers and his lieutenants/ says Mr. Wright, "are fighting hard to hold organized labor in liue, but with the rent bill falling due with deadly regularity for the cottage that shelters the laboring man, his wife and babies, with scant clothing anl food and the rigors of winter coming on, it is mghty hard to be a man and stand fcr his convictions. On this point, 1 may incidentally re mark, not only the success of De mocracy hinges, but the future of our great republic hinges?if men are not free to vote their convictions, the spirit of Democracy dies, and the republic becomes a mockery and fraud." The second great danger to the Democrats in the West, as Mr. Wright sees it, is the amazing spread of socialism. He says wherever he went he saw socialists orators har ranging the people on th'e-ftreet cor ners, and the people are listening, noding their heads as the crimes and brutal oppressions of the capitalistic system are detailed. Out there amid the snow-capped mountains, you can hear the words: "Rouse, ye slaves!" ring out in the night air, as a climax to the shameful story of how Gug genheim bought a seat in the United States Senate, and the smelter trust has pauperized twenty thousand In dependent miners in Colorado. Mr. Wright says "regardless of the folly, or wisdom of socialism, the Socialist vote will be large this year, and four-fifths of it comes from the Democratic party. The Socialist be lieve that if the Democratic party fails this year it will disintegrate and 1 die, and out of the grave of the oll I Democracy will rise the spirit of n. 'I triumphant Social Democracy." He ' concludes his Interesting article with the statement that "it may be said 1 with absolute truth, If there was no I coercion by the cap'tallstic class ofr* Democratic voters, and no converts among them to Socialism, Bryan ? would win in a walk. He may do It anyhow." < Do They Endorse This? Mr. John G. Capers, who seems to ; be the chief cook and bottle washer , for the Republican party in South | Carolina, says that there arc many business men in this tSate who will vote the Republican electoral ticket , next Tuesday. We would like to know if these business men who Ca pers says will vote for Taft endorse a?l the planks of the platform on which Taft is running, and which he says ha3 his endorsement. Do they endorse this plank of the Republican platform: "We declare once more and without reservation for tho en forcement in letter and spirit of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendment to the con stitution, which were designed for the protection and advancement cf the negro, and we condemn all de vices that have for their real aim his disfranchisement for reasons of color alone as unfair, un-Amer ican, and repugnant to the su preme law of the land." If these amendments to the con stitution are enforced as construe I by the Republicans, South Carolina would be turned over to the tender mercies of the ignorant and cor rupt crpet-haggers and negroes, and the days of reconstruction would ho revived. Yet Taft, who Capca says many of our business men will vote for, said In his speech of accep tance that he stood with his partv squarely on that plank In the Re publican platform. Surely Capers must be mistaken as no business man in South Carolin,i cau hardly wish to see his State pros trated at the feet of the thieving carpet-baggers and his Ignorant dupes, the n'groes. We do not be lieve that any of our business men want to see the eld thieving days re vived, and we believe Capers slan ders them when he says they will vote for Taft. The people of Newberry county seem to be so blood thirsty that even voting out the dispensary, which ia generally charged up with afil murders, does not prevent them from kllllng.each other by the whole sale. According to the Herald an-1 News there have been eight homi cides in. that county in the last four months. This is going it some for a prohibition county. Jack Frost. He paints the leaf of the ivy vine That runs o'er the garden wall; And spangles the leaves of the pump kin fine. And reddens the sumacs tall. He curls,the leavea.of tharugged,oak That stands in the forest's shade; And over the grass blade spreads a cloak As fine.as by fairies made. He creeps along by the limpid stream; Its ripples are holden fast In icy fetterB that brightly gleam As he glides in the darkness past. His labor begins at set of sun, When the wind to the night doth I croon; Jack paints his pictures and has his fun. By the light of the harvest moon. Landlady: "What's the matter with that pie?

They are tho truthful utterances i women who have been ill and have found a reliable remedy in Peruna. It means a great deal to the women of America to have at hand a remedy capable of giving such relief. Consti pation, rheumatism, kidney trouble, bronchitis and a host of other catarrhs! conditions are relieved by Peruna. At least this is what the women say. They have no object in saying such things, except to render truthful testimony to their suffering sisters. Peruna is making such frlendsevery day. It is the testimony of tho peoplo that has made Peruna so justly famous Chronic Bronchitis. Mrs. Clara L. Miller, Box 71, Columbia Sta., Seattle, Wash., formerly vice pres ident of Skoogay Country Club, writes: "Nine bottles of Peruna cured me of a protracted case of bronchitis. There is no superior remedy that 1 know of, as the action of Peruna on the vasa motor systom of nerves is very beneficial. It increases the tone of the system and aids nature to perform her functions. "I have recommended it to a number of my friends, who speak in the same high terms of it. I have certainly found it a most efficacious medicine." Nervous, Tired and Weak. Mrs. Christina Bmukalla, 490 Winslow Avo., Buffalo, N. Y.> writes: "I trust every ono suffering from systemic ca tarrh will read this and profit by it. "I was in a very bad condition indeed, when I began to take Peruna, and roy friends as well as myself were very much alarmed over my condition. I was always nervous, could not sleep at night, my food did me no good, and I was always tired and weak. I tried several doctors, but found no relief. "Finally I took two bottles of Peruna and felt like a different woman. How ever, I did not stop there, but kept on with it until I had token several bottles, when I felt completely cured, and have remained so ever, since. I con cat and sleep now." A Good Word for Pe-ru-na. Mrs. S. L. Jewell, lt. F. D. 1, Freeport, Pa., writes: "Having used Peruna myself for many years with beneficial effects, and ob serving tho good it haB done others of my acquaintance, I cannot but say a good word in behalf of Peruna." Keeps Pe-ru-na in the House. Mrs. Maria Goer tz, Orion ta, Oklahoma, writos: "My husband, children and my self have used your medicines,and we al ways keep them in the houso in case of necessity. I was restored to health by this medicine, and Dr. Hartman's in valuable advice and books. People ask about me from different places, and are surprised that I can do all of my honsework alone, and that I was cured by the doctor of chronic catarrh. My husband was cured of asthma, my daughter of earache and catarrh of the stomach, and my son of catarrh of the throat. Wh?n I was sick I weighed 100 pounds; now 1 weigh 110. "Dr. HartiuAn's remedies have proven to be reliable and wonderful. Their effect upon the system Is remarkable. Peruna quiets the nerves, and is a great specific for all forms of chronic catarrh. "I am very glad to say that I can write you that I am cured in every way of catarrh, with which I had suffered terribly for ten yenr?. I cannot thank you enougn for your advice." Constipation, Kidney Trouble. Mrs. Mahala Reld, Corbyvillc, Ont., Canada, yrites: "Your celebrated remedies havo been a wonderful boon to mo in my old age. I havo not been in so good health tor several years as now. "I was troubled with constipation, rheumatism and kidiioy trouble. A little ovor two years ago I completely lost my health, becoming almost help less, when a dear friend sent me yonr remedies, Peruna and Manalir. "I began to take them, following tbo directions on tho bottles. I very soon began to feel benefited by their use, and continued to take them. "I am now compfetely recovered from tho above ailments, in fact, better than I have been for years past. "I cannot praise the remedies too highly and will always recommend them to others." Pe-ru-na In Tablet Form. For two years Dr. Hartman and his assistants hav?? incessantly labored to create Peruna in tablet form, and their strenuous labors have Just been crowned with success1. People who object to liquid medicines can now secure Pe runa tablets, which represent the medicinal ingredients of Peruna. Each tablet is equivalent to one average dos? of Peruna.
