"We notice from the Press and Banner that some one in Abbeville thinkf there has been enough rain. Well well. The new paper, the Charleston American, we understand made its initial appearance on Sunday ,in a very large edition. We have only seen one copy, that of Wednesday. Wa suppose it will exchange with the country weeklies but up to this time it has not done so with The Herald and News. The copy of the Charleston American that we saw says that at the Sumter campaign meeting former Governor Blease had a large proportion of the crowd. The Sitate and the News and Courier say that Gov. Manning "was given an ovation. How is the poor country editor or the reader to know what to believe. It is a pity . i that the reporter does not report a meeting just as it is. Well, we are all Ihuman and we suppose every one "writes of a meeting as he sees it. We must believe that any way. Every one and all the children will go to the college reunion at Little Mountain on Friday (today). The C. Jtf. and L. is running a special train \ besides its regular passenger for the occasion. Cooper said at Sumter in answer to (Manning's question. "I am running because I have the right to run." That's right. Let the people say what they want.

We should apply rigid tests to candidates. in an effort to find first, if the candidates are seeking to serve us, or themselves; second, if the candidates have the knowledge prerequisite; third, if the candidates have the ability. Let us place our politics jmon a ha sis wherp rpal mprit will hp the determining factor. Poverty, past or present, is not necessarily an omen of a good representative.

THE FOMAKIA MJt'ETJNG. i There was an unsually large crow'i at tlie campaign meeting at Pomaria on Tuesday. A good barbecue dinner ; ] was served by that prince of good ! fe-Iows, Walter Richardscn. He gave ! the old soldiers a half price 107 their j dinner una made a contribution from ! the proceeds of the dinner of $25.00 I to the Pomaria gilded school. That 1 j did not leave ihim very much for his I services but lie helped some good causes and did good for the community which after all is worth more to him than to have made -a few extra dollars for himself. The meeting was held in the park just this side f the town and there ' is plenty ox shade, hut not much chance for the hreezes to circulate, and 'besides being one of the hottest days oi the season it was made warmer on O <-v f A - ? v - i j avv.uuut ui uic uuucrgrvtv uil wiiion uns ! the place. The people were in a good j humor and gave fine attention to all the speakers but there was very little i demonstration i^nd the people only I I quietly listened. They have about made up their ! minds as to how they will vote and i we believe they are going to vote tnis I year for wliat they -conceive to be the i * ' best interest of the publio service and | that they are not going to be carried i away dv prejudice ana passion. ; The candidates all make about the I same speeches, though some of them i may continue them from place to 1 place not having time enough to get ! through at any one meeting. I The campaign so far has he en free ! from bitterness of speech and only ! the records of the public officials have I been brought into the limelisrM with . no effort to be personal in the lesat ; degree. The meeting on Thursday was held ! at Longshores. We are putting this ! paper to press early so that we may j get to the meeting in the afternoon. The Little Mountain reunion will be | held today and tomorrow a barbecue I will be given at Mr. H. !M.

"Alter making almost every possible enort to find relief from their ills and fdiing i.i every instance my wii'e and son. C bar lie. were given reailv .vonderful relief by just a fe*.v doses of Tanlac,'' declared Mr. W. 0. Kins, a farmer living between Anderson and Pendleton. His address is Pendleton. K. P. D. Mr. Kin? came into Evans' Pharmacy, at Anderson lo buy a bottle of Tanlac, and while there told the T.:nIss representative of the great value of this wonderful remedy had bee- to his family. "I wish 1 had the money to buy a dozen bottles this afternoon." he declared, "for I need to take Tanlac myself, but this is the tight money time for the farmer and I will .have to buy Tanlac now only for those who need it worst.'' Continuing, Mr. King said: 'i>ly j wife suffered peculiar troubles and a i very bad case of indigestion. She had been in ill health a long time be j lore she began taking Tanlac, and I; once paid out $75 for medical services for her, 12nd she did not get as much benefit then as she did from lier first bottle of Tanlac, which cost just one dollar. "She had no energy and felt badly all the time. She was not able, hardly, toV'do anything around the house, - " 1-1 r- 1! J ana was unaer a aocior ior a sowi i year, but got no better. Site now has j taken two (2) bottles of anlac, and it i has proven in her case the best medicine in the world. Ker strength has increased a great deal and her appe- j tite is better than it has been in years, i Nothing she eats~^uses her indigestion now. She sure is ple.-sed with the results. It is just -wonderful the way she has improved. "My boy, Charlie, suffered one whole j year with a very peculiar and distres- ' sing trouble, which about a dozen doses of Tanlac broke up. All last summer he could not work even half a day. He would get so weak he would have to stop for the day. This summer he was not any better. 'Charlie's appetite would be good until he got t# the table, but then he would become sick. Often at night his breath, would almost leave him. He lost a lot of weight and strength. I .had taken 'him to a dozen doctors, but he got no better. It was said he had nervous ingestion. "I am certainly glad to tell you these things for r.-'e in your advertising for it may show some poor sufferers the way to regain their health. I hope my words may help soine who suffer, and you bet I can't say too much for Tanlac." Tanlac, the master medicine, is sfold exclusively by Gilder & Weeks, T-v ?
