A Clever Trick.
It certainly looks like it, but there is
really no trick about it. Anybody can try
it who has lame back and weak kidneys,
malaria or nervous troubles. We mean he
can cure himself right away by taking Elec
tric Bitters. This medicine tones up the
whole system, acts as a stimulant to the
liver and kidneys, is a blood purifier and
nerve tonic. It cures constipation. head
ache, fainting spells, sleeplessness and
melancholy. It is purely vegetable, a mild
laxative, and restores the system to its nat
ural vigor. Try Electric Bitters and be
convinced that they are a miracle worker.
Every bottle guaranteed. Only 50c a bottle:

state Campaign Meeting.
The State cdmpaign meeting takes place
in Manning next Wednesday and the peo
ple will have an opportunity to listen at
Governor Ellerbe's account of his steward
ship. They will also be able to listen to
the rer cons why he should not not have a
second term, by his opponents. Colonel
George D). Tillman and Colonel R. B. Wat
son, Senator Archer and ex-Slictor Schum
pert, and last but not least, Mr. Feather
stone. All these gentlemen want Governor
Ellerbe to drop the gubernatorial bone for,
one of them to pick up. Colonel Tillman
wants the towns deprived of the dispen
sary revenue, and Watson and Archer are
pickin'g at the foundation brick of the in
stitutions of higher education, Schumpert
wants votes and Featherstone wants prohi
bition.
Then we will have Col. Dan Tompkins,
M. Rt. Cooper 'and Capt. D. J. Bradham,
who are each asking for the Secretary of
State's office, but as only one of them can
get it, and as Dan Tompkins has already
had it two terms and Mar. Cooper is a mem
ber of the State Board ot Control, we think
the people will vote for Clarendon's favor
ite, Captain Bradham.
Without going over the entire list of State
candidates, we can assure the people ir they
will attend the meeting they will not only
have plenty to select from, but they will
hear some very lively speeches. We espe
cially hope the attendance will be good. for
the reason it has been a long time sinee
Clarendon has had an opportunity of hon
oring one of her sons for a State office an d
now the chance is afforded them and every
body should be here to give him a good
send-off. Next Wednesday is the day and
everybody should come.
A Letter From Captain Davis.
Camp Fitzh-ugh Lee, (
Columbia, 8. C., June 14, 1898.
Editor THE TIME~S:
Our battalion has received orders to re
cruit companies up to maximum war
strength, to wit, 106 men. Should any of
:y Clarendon friends desire to join Com
pany "D." I think they will have the op
portunity in a few days. A recruiting
officer will be detailed in a few days'to pro
eed to Manning, and as fast as he accepts
men they will be forwarded to my companyF
wherever thie battalion goes.
Clarendon is not as well represented as
it should be, and while I have as fine a set
f men in my company as I ever saw gath
ered together. I would be delighted to see
more of the home boys at the front.
We e're very well satistied with our sur
roundings, and I never served under a
more competent commanding officer than
Major Thompson, and I can assure the
young men of Clarendon they shall have
my most careful attention.
There is much friendly rivalry between
the companies composing our battalion,
and I am repeatedly told my company is
forging to the front in proficiency in drill.
The crops will soon be "laid by,"' boys,
and you can still fight with your home
company. As soon as the recruiting offi
er opens up I want to see more of you
ome to us. Our uniforms are on the way
here and we expect the new guns at an
early day.
Camp Lee, June 20, 1898.-One day last
week Messrs. C. S. Land, J. C. Land, W.
'. P. Sprott, C. M. Mason, H. D.Clark and
. A. Sprott of Foreston gladdened the
hearts of Company "D"~ by sending a big
bag of fresh fish. As soon as they arrived
t camp I had plenty of volunteers to clean
them, and having purchased some meal,
we turned the bag over to Chief Cook
odge to prepare for supper. This sol
ie, with two weeks' experience, has be
come a veteran around the pcts, and ex
celled himself in the prepartion of thi:
feast. Each man got two fish around, ari
our guests were loud in their praises of ow
- Clarendon friends. Not only was eact
man satisfied at supper, but a panful wa!
put up for our breakfast, and especially tCi
officers went to sleep dreaming of new con
anests next morning. But unfortunatehy
a big rain came up that night and the
guard around the coimisary was taken
off, and as a result we bad bacon instead
of fish for breakfast. Remembering how
we had enjoyed our supper, we didn't havE
the heart to even investigate.
Major Land, an old veteran, knows how
to lighten the cares of the soldier in camp,
and we will always remember the chlt
and good will created by the thou..;htfal
ness of the major and the othe: gentlemen
mentioned above.
Yours respectfully,
W. C. DAVIS,
Capt. Co. "D."

Editor THE Tixs:
The party guessing nearest the ate when
this battalion will leave the State will be
giventhe pair of shoes taken off the first
Spaniard killed or captured by the Man
ning Guards.
Every man present in the battalion has
been given underclething, hats and shoes.
T:ie uniforms and guns are at the depot,
so before this time next week we will be
ready to move a a moment's notice.
The battalion is now complete; the last
company has been sworn in and once
again Msjor Thompson can rest easy.
Recruiting officers will be sent out on
Tuesday to get up 26 men to recruit each
company up to the required number, 106.
Sergeant Epps has been appointed recruit
ing officer for the Manning Guards. All
those wishing to join us will report to him
at Manning on next Friday and Saturday.
Transportation will be given every man
that passes the preliminary examination to
Columbia or wherever the battalion is or
dered.
Captain Davis is at home on business.
Private Baker took a trip home last week
to see his best girl; he couldn't think of
going to the war and not say good-bye
again.
We are glad to see Corporal Carroll in
camp again. Privates White and Tiller are
able to sit up and will be with us the ltter
part of this week.
Private Disher is on the sick list, but
much better today. All others are improv
ig.
We drill about four hours each day, get
ting ourselves in shape to stand force
marches, etc., in Cuba. It takes about a
10-mile march at 12 o'clock to get our blood
to circulate freely.
On last Tuesday Mr. W. T. P. Sprott
sent us a bag of fish. Each man ate at least
two. To say we enjoyed them would not
express 'e: gratitude. We certainly ap
preciate his thoughtfulness and thank him
for his kind remembrance. A treat like
this can only be appreciated by those
placed in our circumstances.
The ladies of Columbia are going to fur
nish supper for the battalion next Tuesday'
night. Tour writer had the pleasure of
taking supper with M1rs. Calvo and others
out here last week, the originators of next
Tuesday's feast. I can say now that each
one in the battalion will have all that he
can eat. So you see we are not forgotten
if we do belong to Uncle Sam's chaingang.
WVhy don't the folks in Manning and all
over the county get up an excursion and
come over to see the boys? We would cer
tainly be glad to see them and show them
all how we, as soldiers, live.
Were we in actual service we could give
you something more interesting, but news
here is as scarce as Spaniards, so will close.
Yours truly,
M. G. I. B3. S. C. V.
