THENING TIlME. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, November 21, 1888. There is some hope that West Vir a may yet be Democratic which, if so, will save the House of Repre sentatives to us. There is no material change in the political aspect. The entire national government is in the hands of our friends, the enemy. It is rumored that President Cleve land will be elected president of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, to enter upon the discharge of his duties next June. The law requires all persons who draw pensions from the State, on ac count of services in the late war, to report during this month to the Clerk of the Court in person, or as the law directs, the pension will be refused. We had hoped to have given the complete State returns to-day, but the S canvassers have not yet fin ished their work. Beaufort county is giving some trouble, and notice of contests have been filed for that coun ty, and for the second and seventh congressional districts. - The Neos and Courner last Thirs day issed one of the moetmammoth ad magi6eent industrial editions we have ever seen. It consists of fifty two pages, in addition to the regular issue. It is one of the most complete things we have ever seen, giving a description of every place of interest in and around Charleston, and con taining advertisements of all the leading business houses. We shall preserve this issue as a valuable book ef'relerence. The Charleston Gala Week is boom ing, so to speak. The citizens have made great exertions to have a big thing of it, and we know they will make no failure. The newspaper re ports the city to be gorgeously deco rated, and crowded with visitors, but that the hotels and boarding houses can easily accommodate all who come. The railroad *fare is only nominal, a cent a mile, and no better opportuni ty for visiting the old city could be asked for. The music house of Ludden & Bates, Savannah, Ga., either is a fraud itself or takes the country press to be fools or frauds. By Monday's - mail we 'received a seven or eight inch reading notice with an "offer." Weere to insert this notice in our first issue in December, and to en close in same paper a large circular, nearly as large as a nage of the Tuesal for three dollars worth of goods, on which the presumption is they would make a hundred per cent. .To enclose such a circular in a news erwould be a direct violation of law, and. would subject its pato a heavy fine. No, Mr. lddn& Bates' Music House, we will not be partices criminis in * yur fraudulent wor. Besides we haea jeweler in town, G. Alexan der, who will sell as cheap as yon of -fer-, and not-want any fraud practiced to advertise himn. Benjamin H. Harrisen. -e ami H. Harrison, the President of the United States, was born at NortiaBend, rnmitncounty, Ohio, on the 20th day of Aus,1883. He attended.4he Miami University. Oxford, Ohio, for several years. and graduated in the class of 1852 as a gpod may great men have done, not, dangerous ly near the head of his class. Iimediately after graduation, he removed to incnnati, where he studied law, and *was adnited to the bar in1854. In March of the same year. he removed to Indian spokls where he has since resided, and be ter ee of law. Like many young kyxbehad a hard time at first, but the ouentry was new and Harrison had brains gd en and puck and soon rose toemn bne. mhsprfson laQ Oober 180he wa, by a vote of the eoechosen reporter of the Supreme aoioflinois. Usheld this position for two~eee when he resigned, and was comn missumed in July, 1862, as uecond licuten ant af Indiana volunteers. He raised Coin y , fthe Seventieth Indiana Volun - rfanryand was commissioned cap tain, and on the organination of the regi .ment was elected colonel. In Augnist, 1862, -he went with his regiment to Kentucky, and served there until mustered out in June, 1865. In Yebruary.1865, he was bre vetted brigadier general. Previous to this bowever, in 1864, while still in the field, be was r.elected supreme court reporter, and when wnadatu entered upon tne dui ties of the position which he held for four I1826he as nominated by the Repub lemsa-for Governor of Indiana, but was .defeated. In 1880 he was elected United States Senator to sueceed Joseph E. Mc Donald, Democrat, and took his seat on March dth, 1881. He served in the Senate as a ponent Republican member until dt&4h, 188.,. when his term of office ex p-ed He then retired to his legal prac tice, and at the Republican Convention which met in Chicago on the 17th of June, was chosen as- the nominee of that party for the Presidency. The incidents of this cnvention are still fresh in the minds of the public. General Harrison was a candi date from the beginning of the Convention, but very few persons looked for his nomi natin, and the overwhelming vote which he received on the sixth day of its session, was a srrise to the country. Genea Harrison comes of a good old .stock, and is a grandson of the hero of Tip aowho was chosen President as a 'in1840. What his policy towards the South will be cannot be forecast. He has never been an extremte Republican, but on the contrary, has always rankea among the conservatives. His record for a public man is remarkably pure, and he passed the ordeal of the campaign without having .a single aspersion east upon his private - hrer- hareston World. Levi I'. Horton. Levi P. Morton, the Vice-President elect, bas always been better known as a capital ist than as a politician. He is a shrewd business man, and has made his fortune in banking. His political career has not been a very extensive one. He wac a mnem ber of (cngress, and served several terms ini the New York State Senate. His highie* political honor was his appointment as 3Jinister to France by President Gufidid. nt arki-Tho:as Affir. Ccl. .. H. Eark ut in a card, in which he says, with referenxe to the recent person al encounter between himself and Mr. Li. R. Thomas: 't is true that without retiring from the spot, and within a few seconds after we were sepanted, I picked up a stick or slat that was lying on th; gronnd, and with it struck him over the head. But I did not approach him from the rear, but each time advanced and struck him face to face. "I confess that in view of the office I have the honor to hold, that my conduct cannot be justified; that it was my duty to suffer wrong rather than punish the wrono-doer by unlawful means, and I have nothing to say by way of palliation or excuse. I trust, however, that a brave and generous public will concede that there are times when 'for bearance ceases to be a virtue.' Fine Spectacles at 25c. a pair at Dinkins & Cos.

It is said that one cause of Cleve land's defeat was his marriage. Dem - ocrats prefer old bachelors for Presi dent. Items of Interest. Mr. J. H. Brown, of Hornellsville, N. Y., says: "For three years Isuffer ed with blood poison, but S. S. S. cured me completely." Marriages between whites and Ii - dians are prohibited in Arizona and North Carolina. In 1775 there were only 27 news papers published in the United States. In 1885-6 the Swift Specific Co. ad vertised their great remedy in over l,000 weeklies and 612 daily papers. The Metropolitan underground railroad in London carried, during 1887, over 82,000,000 passengers. S. S. S. cured me of an epithelioma cancer on my right cheek. I know this cure was effected entirely by S. S. S.-W. M. Stanfield, Hampton, Ga. Paris was known as Lutetia until 1184, when the great French capital was changed to that which it has borne ever since. We have used Swift's Specific in our family for years, as an antidote for malarial poison, and have never known it to fail in a single instance. -W. C. Furlow, Americus, Ga. Many people want to buy S. S. S. by the gallon. The company never sell it that way. They sell only in bottles and packages. Col. John S. Richardson has been reap pointed by the Governor master in equity for Sumter county. Miss Eliza Gardner, the female Inde pendent candidate for School Commission er in Union county received about 100 votes last Tuesday. Papers will be served within the next few days, so it is stated, in behalf of the grand daughter of John C. Calhoun, to set aside the Clemson will. The prediction is made that the next Congress, of which both branches is repub lican, will admit five territories as States, and thus add ten Republican members to the Senate, and probably increase the majority in the House materially. 25 dor.

Nzw Yons:, November 15.-The Heral's Washington correspondent telegn-'phs as follows: Distinguished Denmocrat-e lead ers who recently talked with the President regarding the election quote Cleveland as saying: I am told that without the tariff issue in the last campaig we should1 have carried the country. Tht may be true, but the time had come when an issue be tween two parties had to be made and Democrats made it. I don't regret it. It is better to be defeated battling for honest principle than win by cowardly subterfuge. Some of niy friends say we ought to have gone before the country on the clean ad miistration we have given. the people. I differ from them. W~e needed a clean-cut, well-defined iss-ze. We were d-:feated, it is true, but the principles of tarirT reform will surely win in the end. A SCRAP OF PAPER SAVES HER LIFE. It was just an ordinary scrap of wrapping er, but it saved her life.
