Clarendon has a candidate on the State ticket in the person of k.'aptain Daniel J. Bradhan, and we k:ow that if he has an opportunity to be heard, the people throughout South Carolina will delighted to honor him with the position of Secretary of State. Captain Bradham is a sure winner. He has never been defeated for any office he ever ran for, and the people cannot support a more worthy man. It is very evident to us, that Clar endon will have to seek men 'to ac cept those positions which do not have a fat salary attached. There will he no scarcity of men to seek positions w*hich pay. A man to go to the legislature not only sacrifices his personal business but he actually works hard and must be economical if he gets back home without his ex penses being more than bis pay. Not withstanding this, Clarendon has good legislative material, men who have the ability and patriotism; these men would serve the people if prop erly approached. Were it not against the established rule of this paper we would nominate several gentlemen to represent us in the lower house. Peo ple, look about you and offer this honor to some worthy citizen in your community. The political game that is being played by Governor Ellerbe's oppo nents, smacks very much like the McLanrin, TIrby-Evans contest. But the people will not *be content to listen to unproved charges, they want something better. We always had a high regard for Col onel Watson and believed him to be honest and sincere in all of his utter ances, but his performance at Dor chester last Saturday did not raise him in our estimation. Watson had as well understand that the people do not place much confidence in any man who undertakes to ride into of fice by endeavoring to show that the man in office did not make appoint ments to please his friends; what the people most desire to know, did the Governor, in making his appoint ments, place the offices into the hands of competent men? If Governor El erbe filled vacancies and did not thereby cripple the public service he has done, what his oath of office re quired him to do, and the complaints of the politicians will amount to naught. _________ The account of the Walterboro meeting as sent out by correspondent Gibbs shows that a few missionaries are needed in Colleton county iight now. It will be remembered it was at Walterboro that Solicitor Bellinger was so shamefully treated, because he had the manliness to do his full sworn duty. On last 3Ionday the same mob undertook to wreak its vengeance on Governor Ellerbe and some of the drunken set applied dir ty epithets to him, but the Governor spoke all the same and when he fin ished, there was a perceptible change in the audience. Of course it will not do to hold any individual account able for the conduct of a few foolish men but it does seem to us that the county chairman should be able to have order. We venture to say that in no other county in South Carolina will such a scene be repeated and we further venture to say that no other county chairman will continue a meeting when disrespect is attemp ted towards the candidate without first having had the offenders arrest The declination of Mr. Joel E. Brunson candidate for governor to enter the campaign has embarrassed tl.e prohibition advocates to a con sideable extent. Brunson's letter puts him in the position of of'ering himself to be voted for as a protest against the sale of liquor with no irlea of being elected. He might as well ask his prohibition friends to decline to participate in the primary. But the prohibition standard which was lurled by Brunson was not allowed to re main furled long; another Richmond stepped upon the field in the person of Mr. Featherstone of Laurens and he unfurled the banner and is now carrying it over tbe State. We do not believe the time is at hand for der present conditions the dispen sary is nearer temperance than would be a prohibition law, but we cannot help but admire the pluck exhibited by Featherstone. The chosen leader of his cause, faltered and fell; ordina rily it would have chilled the ardor of his followers but not so with Featherstone, the fact that his leader fell by the wayside, seemed to add to his zeal for the prohibition cause, and with a bravery which is bound to be admired, he picked up the fallen bau ner and in the face of sure defeat he espouses the principles next to his heart. Prohibition will not win this time, the people want to give the dispensa ry a fair test, which it has not had, then, after it has been fairly tested, it should not prove a good strong temperance measure, prohibition will surely follow, and many who are now supporting the dispensa.ay will join the urohibitionists to drive liquor from South Carolina. There are very many men who honestly believe a prohibition liquor law can be enforced, and these are urging prohibition, with sincere mo tives, such men have our highest es teem, but there is another class, nhose motives are not sincere and who think if the dispensary can be gotten out of the way it will leave a clear field to carry on a liquor traffic. The latter class will vote for prohibition and their votes count as much as an equal number of sincere proohibitionists. Then we have another class who will support prohibition to gratify revenge, they know that prohibition cannot be anything like a success as long as the present inter-state commerce laws exist; just so long as the United States will allow liquor brought into the State for private use, just so long will it be almost impossible to enforce prohibition. Nevertheless this re vengeful class think they see a pos sibility of a change in the political complexion and a hope that many who are now floundering about on the political sea will have a haven thrown open to them where they may rest their little political souls in pa tience. The Piedmont Headlight says: It seems to us that the Prohibitionists are the last people in our State to combine against the dispensary; but rather should they go to work and unite with the friends of that law, and by weeding out objectionable features, and restricting the sale of intoxicants, gradually pave the way for total prohibition. In one hour the dispensary closed the doors of every barroom in South Carolina, and restricted the sale of liquor between sunrise and sunset. The temptations and enticements of the gilded saloons have been removed from the paths of. our young men and you now rarely, if ever, see a minor under the influ ence of intoxicants. A mother can now go to sleep knowing that her boy is safe when out at night. A man with the thirst for strong drink fixed upon hina can only be saved through the grace of God and by the exercise of his own determination. It is a waste of time to try to reform a confirmed drunkard unless he wants imself to be reformed. We can enact the most stringent prohibition laws, but the drunkard will have no trouble in finding all the drink he craves and that he can pay for. But a great moral reform is noticeable in our rising generation. A young man now feels that he lowers himself to be seen in a place where liquors are sold, and few enter either the dispen saries no original package houses. To further the end of femperance rests with our churches and Christian peo ple. If they will expend one-half the energy and money it will require to conduct a political campaign in bring ing moral influence to bear upon the outside and dram-drinking world, they will accomplish much more good. Tribute of Respect. Whereas for the first time the W. F. M1. Society of Andrews Chapel has been called upon to mourn the loss of a most valuable member. In the death of MIiss Agnes Felder the socie ty loses one of its brightest Christian members. Resolved, 1. That we endeavor to follow more fully her noble example of faith, sweetness of spirit, and pa tience under affliction as well as of deep consecration. Resolved. 2. That we tender our deepeu. sympathies to the church which has been called upon to give up, this faithful and efficient mem ber to the church triumphant. Resolved, 3. That we pray God who is compassionate toward all, will be with the loved ones and friends of this lovely Christian sister. ResolveQ !. That a copy of these resolutions appear in the minutes of our society and a copy be sent to the bereaved family. M~ns. S. P. FAIRa, 2IRS. F. CH EwNING, MIts. RI. S. EmoL'rr, Committee. June 15, 189S. There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put to gether. andl until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many vears doctors pronounced it a local disease. and prescribed local remedies. and by constantly failing to cure with localI treatent, pronounced it incurabe.

The People Pay for the Musle-What, the War Taxes Are. War taxes are novel to the present generation in the United States, and the mere list of those imposed by the new war-revenue bill makes an inter esting document. We present here with a careful abstract of the text of the bill, which is entitled "An act to provide ways and means to meet war expenditures and for other purposes," and which becomes the law of the land until repealed by Congress. The act takes effect on the day next suc ceeding the date of its passage, ex cept as otherwise specially provided for. Liquor Taxes.--A tax of $2 on all beer, lager beer, ale, porter and other similar fermented liquors brewed or manufactured, sold or stored in ware house or removed for consumption or sale, for every barrel containing not more than 31 gallons; and at a like rate for any other quantity or frac tional part of a barrel, with a discount of 7 1-2 per cent. on all sales by col lectors to brewers of the stamps pro ided for the payment of the tax. An additional proviso was adde], as fol lows, by the conference: "That the additional tax imposed in this section on all fermented liquors stored in warehouses, to which a stanmp had been anixed, shall be assessed and collected in the manner now provided by law for the collection of taxes not paid by stamps." Special Taxes (from July 1).-1. Bankers emploving a capital not ex ceeding $25,000, $50; employing a capital exceeding $25,000, for every additional $1,000, $2, surplus includ ed in capital.

The compro mise proviso in regard to the taxation of the stock on hand provides that stamps canceled subsequent to April 14 shall entitle the seller to a reduc tion of one half the difference between the old and new rate. And "dealers having on hand less than 1,000 pounds of manufactured tobacco and 20,000 cigars or cigarettes on the day suc ceeding the date of the passage of the bill are relieved from the necessity of making returns, and thus relieved from the necessity of paying the tax."

C., June 18.-The Senate yesterduy passed(by a vote (f 26 to 23) a bill granting a ebarter to an international bank, in accordance with recommemiation of the Pau American Congress. This bill has occupied considerable time in the Senate this week, and the internation al American bank which it proposes to authorize the incorporation of, is designed to furnish such banking and exchange facilities as will prom ote trade between the United States and the countries of South and Central America. The bill, as it bassed. the Senate, provides that the bank shall have a capital of $5,000,000, which may be increased to $25,000,000. The bank will be located in Newv York City, will be under the super vision of the Comptroller of the Cur rency, like other nation-al banks, and will have its property subject to taxa tion by the laws of the State in which any of its property may be located. Under the bill, any coterie of citizens who comply with the requirements of the charter may organize and estab lish an internation 'bank upon the same footing with any other inter national bank authorized, or incor porated, under the provisions of this bill. But, of course, the bill is not yet wholly out of the woods, altnough it is perfectly safe to prediet its triumphant passage through the House, since it is one of the many measures desired and demanded by the plutocratic moasters who seem to hold the reins which guide the whole pclicy of the present Congress and the present Administration of all de prtments of our. great Govern men t. The House has also passed the resolution annexing the Republic of Hawaii, which has also been referred to the Senate, considered' by its Coin mittee of Foreign Relatious and re ported by that comnlitEec back to the Senat~e with aii recommendation that it do pass. The formnal debate on the question off annexation in thbe Senate will begin EmI:Iday tile 20th istant). The debatte will be more r less protracted and intense; but t will probably be conducted behind losed doers so that the people of the country will not see the argc ents pro and con. It has come to public notice in tile Senate that two0 of the leaders of the Republican side of the chamber, in order to get thle Democrats to withdraw anyv policy of delay which they might have against the consideration and finial passage of the war-revenue bill, promised that the resolution of annexation should0a not be considered at this session ot a Congress. But it turns out to be like t most of the promises made to the t country by this party-the promise t will not be kept in good faith: the I other members on that side of the chamber will say that these two Sen- ~ ators had no authority, or right to make any such promise and pledge I the Senate to any such policy. And vet it is as wvell-known fact that the Senate nearly always recognizes such promises as binding upon the party t whose leaders make them. In this case, thev are bound to be one of two things; either keep the promise and v run counter to the wishes and plicy of the President and his Administra-I tion by laying the cousicierat ion oIf tle Hawaiian question aside until the next session of Congress, or break V it and rally around thie .ting of the e President and those who control him. I Of course, there can be but little ~ doubt as to which horn of the di lemma they will select. Whenever the Senate does pass the resolution, however, it is to be - hoped that it will add one important feature to it which is absent in its, present shape: that is a provisionI that no Chinaman who happens to bet a resident of the Sandwich Islands shall, by reason of this annexation to the United States, become a citizen of the United States. The bill (or resolution) already provides against their immigration to the United States; but, when Hawai becomes a part of the territory of the United States, its citizens become cit-~ izens of the United States nnless there be an express exclusion of that idea made manifest in the terms of.a the resolution itself by a clear andl Low Prices A re Btter Than Argument.
