For Attorney General. Mr. B. B. Evans said that four years ago the people elected under a wave of excitement the -present Attorney-General, on a , platform, which he would attack. He attack ed the winding up commission for squandering the school money. He charged Attorney General Lyon with charging his personal effects, such as hair cuts, tips,'etc., to the State. He received applause at this point, hut there were shouts of "don't be lieve it." ?ttorney-GeneraJ Lyon requested Evans to point out the statement that he received $15,000 as personal ex penses.

At one point when Mr. Evans .gave him the num ber of the page, Mr. Lyon remarked, "Little confused on pages." Where upon Mr. Evans retorted that figures <iid not lie, and Mr. Lyon remarked that people who read them some times did. The crowd was evidently with Mr. Lyon. For Adjutant General.

Hon. F. H. Hyatt was the first candidate for Governor to be intro duced. He offered himself for elec tion on a business man's platform, J and advocated a retrenchment. He said the whiskey question had side tracked everything else for twenty years, but the people were thor oughly disgusted with it. He stated that the books of the State had not been audited for twenty years. Said that the average assessed value of the lands of South Carolina was $3 an acre and that one man wanted to borrow $20 on land assessed at $5. Hon. Thos. G. McLoed, of Bishop Tille, the present Lieut. Governor, was the next speaker. He said he jthought it better to be right than PRIZE ACRE OP OORN. On Which Two Hundred Bushels or More Will Be Made. The* Orangeburg correspondent of The News and Courier says through the courtest of Mr. P. ?. D. Felder, county supervisor, he enjoyed a ride to the county poor farm, and inspect ed .Mr. Felder's prize acre of corn. Mr. Felder has not entered the com petition for the corn prize, but .has a patch of the growing grain that would no doubt carry off the trophy in great style. ? The seed planted was obtained from Capt. J. M. Moss, the advanced farmer of the Cameron sec tion, and Mr. Felder acknowledges his indebtedness to Mr. Moss for the mode of preparing the land and the planting, and cultivating of the crop, which-at this time giv^s promise of such abundant success. ?A3 to the soil preparation, the ploughing was deep and thorough. The corn was planted by hand and chopped out to a stand of eight inch es. The rows are four feet apart -Thecflrh, te'/jperfectly-green and - in dications now point to an average of more than two ears to the stalk. X little arithmetic will show that there will probably be gathered from this acre more than 2S5 .bushels of corn, and possibly as much as 250. But, in order to allow for defects of stand and size of ears, deduct 25 per cent from the result obtained j (in the calculation wan allowed 125 [ears to the bushel) and there will I still remain more than 200 bushels. Mr. Felder says the fertilizer costs about $c0 preparation and cultiva tion and gathering about $10, mak ing a total cost of $6*0. He expects to gather about 2,500 pounds of fod der and peayines, or $25 !worth, which will leave the net cost $35. Corn is worth all the year 80 cents which shows a handsome profit. There on this farm tiirty acres of corn all told, which will probably yield 1,800 to 2,000 bushels. The farm is'ssituated south of the city, just outside the corporate lim its, and is composed of what is re garded as lowlands. The farm has been pretty well drained, however, and the lands are among the "best in' the county. The Times and Demo crat would suggest that Mr. Felder gather this acre of <corn carefully and see what it makes exactly.,and then write out in detail exactly how he managed to make euch a crop. It would help other farmers. The Times and Democrat would be glad, to publish the detailed report. Mbsquito Fleet \a Route. The Mosquito Fleet left on its cruise down the Edisto River Tues day morning under most adverse weather conditions. The personnel of the party is about as reported a few days ago. One boat failed to report, so the fleet is composed of three. They-expected to reach Char deBton1 in about three days, ?ale?s de layed by the weather. Messrs. W. L. Glover, R. H. Jennings, M. E. Mat thews, H; O. Dawsbn. O. W. Spahr, R A. Walter and A. H. Moss consti tute the jolly party. Temperature Falls.

The wind was still ? from the worth yesterday afternoon and light to heavy rain fell a good portion of the day and clouds. consistent ?ud therefore attacked none. He reviewed the tax and li quor question briefly. Said that the persistent tax dodfer should he brought up. He had no remedy to offer concerning the taxation. On the liquor question Mr. McLoed fav ored local option. Mr. John G. Richards, of Kershaw, was the next speaker. He believes in the primary system as the best way to decide on the best man. He told of several bills of which he was the author or amender, giving schol arships to the farmer's children. Has always stoow for good roads, but is opposed to the establishment of a bureau at Columbia. Said that the State offices were checked up every chree months. Said he was first candidate to discuss something besides the liquor question. He also said that he had done more for State wide prohibition in the last five years than- any other man. ^Hon. Cole L. Blease, of Newberry, was the next speaker. He discussed the duties of the Governor and Baid he was opposed to using the white people'*, money for the education of the negroes. Said that the taxes could be reduced. Mr. Blease stated that there were bills passed with the appropriation bill that had nev er beec before the House or Senate. He said the governor should veto these. In regard to whiskey said that the place to t?ach prohibition was in the home.} Mr. John T. Duncan of Columbia was the next speaker. He said he would agree to make a different speech from that of the others. Said prohibition could not be en forced until it was made unlawful to ship liquor into dry territory. He said he would enforce any law pass ed on the subject as readily as any other candidate. He referred to to day as the day of graft. Hon. C. C. Feat herstone was the next speaker. He reviewed his past record. Said that S5 percent of the white subjects are living in prohi bition territory and it should all be dry. A Jaw should be passed with the necessary machinery to car ry it out. Said he would enfore it even1 in Charleston or exhaust the resources of the governor. For House of Hepresentatives. Dr. W. W. Ray, of Richland, ad dressed the voters. His speech was mostly an attack on Congressman Lever's vote on protection of lumber. Congressman Lever spoke aifter Dr. Ray and told the voters of some of the things he had done for them. He said he welcomed the opposition. NOTES FROM NORTH.

You talk about base ball fans and the fellows who are always in the bleachers ready to lynch an umpire, but there are several travelling men in South Carolina who beat them all as "all wool and a yard wide" fans. The story has just come to light of a recent trip from Orangeburg to St. Mat/thews by seven fellows to see an ameteur game of ball. The story is that the travelling men . heard of the game and seven of them proceed ed to rent or lease an automobile to take the trip. The start and the trip to St. Matthews was made without ?mishaps, but the return is a diffei ent story. When about midway be between the two towns a storm over took the party, one of these "ditch washer" kind, and to make matce/s s little worse the automobile .broke down. The fellows were drenched u.nd had to walk three miles to the little station of Rileys and catch the night train back to St. Matthews. Of course the baggage was all in Or angeburg, and those funs had to sit in the hotel and wait four hours for an early morning train back to Or angeburg. If the .boys want to know airvything about this trip just ask Andrew Brown, Boykin, or Bult man; the others asked that their names not be mentioned. Speaking of Advertising. There is no business that cannot he increased and benefltted by ad vertising, says the Gaffney Ledger. No class of advertising pays as well as a well written newspaper ad. There is no work you could do that would bring you as great returns as to use thirty minutes time each day in the study of advertising, if you are in business. The great trou ble with most advertisers in a coun try town is that they write an ad. invoicing their stock in trade and expect by letting it stand week after week in the country newspaper to get direct returns from it. Should be Looked After. The United States Government having siezed millions of the famil iar little ice cream cones at the port of New York, alleging that the arti cles contain boracic acid and are therefore unfit for human consump tion, it becomes the duty of our health autorities to examine the cones sold here in and see if the same objection can be made to them, also. We cannot permit any trill ing with the stomachs of our youth ful "ultimate consumers." Get af ter the cones, gentlemen of the board of health, and be certain about this matter. Asked to Run Again. A petition has been filed at the office of Supervisor F. J. D. Felder by the voters of Bowman township of this county, requesting Samuel Dibble to stand for reelection as township commissioner from that township. Mr. Dibble served in con gress for ten years and is now fiJling the office of township commissioner to such great satisfaction, that his friends beg that he not give up his political career but continue to serve as township commissioner. Delightful Party. Last Monday evening proved a very delighful one to many young folks despite the rain1. Miss Lyna Adden gave her friends a party. Miss Marie Adden and Mrs. Fred Adden received while Miss Miss Ruth Bol iver helped entertain those present with music. Refreshments were serv ed and the guests regretted it when the hour came to leave. A HANDSOME CHURCH. To Be Built by the Baptists at St. Matthews Soon. The St... Matthews , correspondent of the Baptist church there voted for the membership Sunday the members of the Baptist Church three voted for and decided finally upon the erection of a handsome new church building. The cost of the building will be be tween $10,000 and $12,000. The contract will be let at once, and work on the construction will be begun at the earliest possible date. The Baptist are to be commended as well as congratulated for this no ble effort. It is hoped and believed that the other denominations will soon follow in the erection of new buildings. Rev. Dr. Brunsen, of El loree is the pastor in charge of the Baptist church, and he is bending every energy, to assist his congre gation in this commendable effort. The building of this new church means much for St. Matthews. No town can prosper that Is content with old ante-dated public buildings. On the other hand, handsome public buildings means progress all along the line. They mean finer and hand somer stores and residences. WOMEN'S BEAUTY. Imperfect Digestion Causes Bad Com plexion and Dull Eyes. The color in your cheeks won't fade, the brightness in your eye wont vanish, if you keep your stomach in good condition. ThiB was the advice of a promi nent physician to a woman's club in Boston and it is good advice. Belching of gas, heaviness, sour taste in mouth, dizziness, billiousness and nausea occur simply because the stomach is not properly digesting the food. The blood needs nourishment to carry vigor, vim and vitality to every part of the body and when food fer ments in the stomach enough nour ishment is hot supplied. Mlona stomach tablets give instant relief to upset stomachs, but they do more; they put strength into the stomach and build it up so that it can easily digest a hearty meal with out giving its owner hours of misery. Mlona is Bold by druggists every where and by J. O. Wannamaker Mfg. Co., at 50 cents a large box. It is guaranteed to cure indigestion or any stomach distress or money back. ? BOYS RUN AWAY.
