Elsewhere will be seen the announce ment of Hon. J. M. Johnson, of Marion, as a candidate to represent the Sixth Con gressional District in Congres.s. Mr. John son is a lawyer by profession and at pre+ out is the Solicitor of the Fourth Judicial Circuit. He has made a reputation as a criminal proseuntor and is regarded an able man. Mr. Ernest M.

Allen Huggins, mysteriously disappeared liom his home in Charleston recently an d has not been heard from since His children are at Packsville, with their aunt, Mrs. S. R. Cole.

His accounts are perfectly straight and his disappearance is imexplicabie. T'he contidence of the people in Hood's Sarsaparilla is due to its unequalled record The steeple of the Baptist chureh in this place was struck by lightuing vesterday afternoon and daumaged to a considerable extent. The shattered fragments of weather boarding were scattered in every direction and a heavy pieee of timber struck the iron ornament on the .swrt cupola and s:uash 1i it.

Some men take advaut ageof a newspaper by begging for indulg ence and when it is granted they do not pay, and if the editor finally cuts them of they have beat that much and. of course, are to that extent in pocket.

"For three years we have never been without Cnamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house." says A. H. Patter, with E. C.

Loryea, the druggist. Manning does not propose to get lost in the shnule and will take advantage of Judge Simonton's liquor decision. We are in formed that a place will soon be opened here where liquor will be sold in competi tion with the Dispensary. The liquor ele ment are in their glory just now: they can have their dens running in fullblast under the cover of the United States Court de cision, but we think, even the most ardent opponents of the Dispensary will find that the "original package" concerns after they have run a while will be nothing more nor less than the old time barrooms with all of the old evil attachments. In a town of this size a man running one of these concerns can have almost his own way, btcause it is a rare thing for violations of law to be re ported and great advantage is usually taken of such a condition. THE TRUE REMEDY. W. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, Ill., "Chief," says: "We won't keep house with out Dr. King's New Discovery for Con sumption, Coughs and Colds. Experi mented with many others, but never got the true remedy until we used Dr. King's New Discovery. No other remedy can take its place in our home, as in it we have a certain and sure cure for Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, etc." It is idle to ex periment with other remedies, even it they are urged on you as just as good as Dr. King's New Discovery. They are not as good, because this remedy has a record of cures and besides is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy. Trial bottles free at R. B. Loryea's Drug Store. Oakland News. Very heavy rains and wind prevailed over this section on Friday and MIonday, causing much damage to crops. In some places lands are very much injured by washing. Oats and corn are injured more than the other crops, tor the rain and wind beat the crops mentioned to the ground. Fall oats yielded better than was expected. Spring oats are a failure, except in a few localitles, favored by rainfall in the middle of April. Hog cholera prevails in this neighbor hood, and is causing serious loss. M1r. W. T. B3rogdon turned eighty fine shoats into his pasture one morning recently, and by evening half of them were dead. Death was caused by hydrophobia re centlv in this section. A child of Ambrose Mack died from the dread malady. The child was bitten by a piowling cur about .hree weeks ago. Since the commencement exercises at the various colleges in this State, the girls and boys, who have been absent since the last holidays are beginning to make their ap pearance.

Hundreds of thousands have been in dced to try Chamberlain's Cough Remedy by reading what it has done for others, and having tested its merits for themselves are to-day its warmest friends. For sale by RI. B. Loryea, the druggist. Pine Grov'e News. The Quarterly meeting convened here the 29th, uit. There was a large con grega tion present Saturday and Sunday. The closing exercises lof P'iue Grove High School took place on the night of the 15th. The corn crop in this section is generally good. F .rmers are giving tbis crop more attention than they did daring the past year. Tobacco is looking very well, and bids fair to be a successflii crop this sea so. Mr. J. Smith plowed up his tobacco, which was most large enough to lay' by, and planted the land in cotton last week. An "Old Settler, in his communication a fewy weeks ago, say, "Wue have no church and a nutuber of our artesian wells are a failure." In this the exaggerated to some extent. The same chuich that has been standing about twenty years. is here vet, but wiil soon be taken away to gIve room for a larger and handsomer building. Because the flows of two or three wells have ereased a little, is no reason why they should be called a failure. ine Grove is all alive with good cheer. The farmers here have been worried very much with tobacco wvorms this year. It seemis tha"t such a crop has never been kown in South Carolina, although crops eenrly are very good. ~the break of the Gibbons & Lavender in' put me. in mind of gold when discov :-e nCalifornia.

For ale by sr. B. Loreta the druggist. h (od mes tte c" Follows Suit. Editor Iasso ThtnErs: c "I. T. U." is out again in 01 sde ort reply to my last and says ie closes, as he has no desire for a newspaper controversy, and I will bere say that I have none. But as be was the aggressor I tet bound to defend mlyself to the be"st of my ability, but from his standpoint is of small f trce. .\I first article was not one to call for a reply, as it was merely answering questions according to ty way of seeing things, and his reply led me to the conclusion that he belonged to that numerous class who go through either tbe State or denominational colleges, and get diplomas which disquali fy them for agricultural or mechanical pur suits. The first aim isa profession: failing there, polit:cs is their next aim, and if that should be a failure, they take the course a gentleman did after trying many things. I met him one day and asked him what he was doing. He replied he was trying preaching. I then asked him how it paid and he replied that it was better than any thing he had tried. I a gld to know that my friend, I. T. .," is nort one of that class and ask his paridon for the ie sinuation I made. He savs I want everybody to be farmers. Far from it. If they were we would have the samte old times, live in a log cabin, make our corn and baconu lae nothing else and know nothing. Outside of our neighborhood we only want farmers enough to raise enough for the consumption of theI country and what is needed for export at paying prices. Men are born into the world for different pursuits, and the great trouble is, we oftena at a pursuit we are incompetent to fill and a failure is the re sult. The world is full of men who can command a company, but -could not handle a regiment, and so on p to the commander of an armv. It's so in business. "I. T. U." is dowonon manufacturers and all large corporations that employ laborers. If God had given all men equal intelligence, weat kind of a country would we have had? There must be a head and that head is given only to a few and it is given for the protection of the many. Allow me to name a few of those favored ones: Old Stephen Girard, of Philadelphia, started a poor boy, died leaving $15,000,000; John Jacob Astor came over from Europe, em ployed by a New York house as a hide resser, .ied worth $12,000,000 or $15.000, 000; Commodore Vanderbilt started life by hiring himself to row a boat on East river between New York and Brooklyn, and it is said he never bought anything unless he toaul thim on Theayfre it, Armidourth sgeaormuc ause,h was once a hload ctte himsor.f:odowahe emmlohs ihoulaids.celan siehee bthra are tusesand ofd ohrs nothave woune the ountr dothout tfhemhd Whe thoe ait aove hir?

C REDUCED PRICES REDUCED PRICES REDUCED PRICES For Men's and Boys' Clothing, Hats and Furnishing Goods. In order to make a clean sweep of the remainder of my Spring and Summer goods, I have decided to cut the prices and cut deep, all through the line, from top to bottom. Nearly all of my goods are new and of the latest styles. Commencing today I will make the following reductidns: On all Mens and Boys' Clothing, 25 per cent. Off. On all Furnishing Goods, 20 per cent. Off. On all Straw Hats, 33 1-3 per cent. Off. These Reductions apply to everything, nothing excepted, and everybody will be treated just alike. When I first started in business I adopted the rule of marking everything in plain fig ures with a reasonable profit, and have ad h~ered to it ever since, so that buyers can see for themselves, if at all doubtful, that they are getting the benefit of the liberal reduc tion. These prices are for cash, but to those who have accounts with me, payable in the fall, I will also make a reduction on what they buy from now on. The few goods I have left, carried over from last year, will be sold at a still greater sacrifice. Respectfully, D. J. CHANDLER, the Clothier. D. J, CHANDL.ER, the Clothier. Sumter, S. C.
