We regret to see that t'ue candidates for congressional honors have been spatting at each other. We do not think the people should allow these personalities brought into a discussion and wherever attempted the chairman should promptly stop the speaker.

It is real funny how a deceitful man can deceive himself quicker than the man he attempts to deceive. A close observer of men can in the shortest possible time run across a man who would go to extra trouble to give assurance of friendship, when at the same time the close observer knows the contrary is true and has the convincing proof. Deception might pay for a season, but in the long run it will prove coals of fire on the deceiver's head. The editor of the Evans City, Pa., Globe, writes: "One Minute Cough Care is rightly' named. It cured my children after all other remedies failed." It cures coughs, colds and all lung troubles. R. B. Loryea, Manning; L. W. Nettles, Foreston; H. L. Wilson, Jordan.

A regiment of .roops from lilinois and one from Massachusetts embarked from Charleston last week, and while there they did not fail to paint the town red. They captured a beer wagon and drank the con tents, and it is said that after devouring a large water melon belonging to an old dar key on the street, the old man insisted on having pay. when he was told to "Remem ber the Maine," and the boys passed on. They went into a cigar store and called for some of the best cigars. The proprietor handed out some, when two or three took several boxes, while one of the party held a bayonet over the proprietor and told those having the cigars to skip. They took pos session of a Chinese inundry and fiang the celestial in the street, and coming across the town dog catcher, took all his captures and said they were going to take the dogs along for mascots. They said they liked Charleston, and as that was the last one of Uncle Sam's towns they might see, they thought they had better paint her red be fore leaving. C A. 3 T C tI.A..

WV Ilcas, Sec. ..' ... a Te Kind You Have Always Bnight COMMENTS 01 Indications That Governe ning Card==Proh Governor Ellerbe a Safe and Honest flan, One to be Trusted. Without being Governor Ellerbe's spe cial champion, we desire to state that, in our opinion, he is one of the best abused men in our Stato today. He had the mis fortune to be a "peace-and-unity" candi date, coming into office exactly at -. time when the people were getting tired of the turmoil and stri e of politics. Both fac tions voted for him and both sides expce-d too much of him. He has given the ;o called Conservatives more political consid eration than either of his two tredecessors dared to do, and Ellerbe has thus seenred the ill-will of his own faction; and when ever he has attempted to cater to his own crowd of Tillmanites. he has brought down the other faction about his ears. The News and Courier has never ceased to hound him down on all occasions, because the Governor has looked beyond Charles ton. It was a bitter disappointment to those people (who opposed the war) when Ellerbe refused to mobilize the troops in that city; it was equally distasteful to them when he refused to remove the metropoli tan police force, and thus give the worst element of that city a chance to revel in blind tigers. In fact. the Governor has n:Mthing to expect from that source. The Conservatives owe more to Governor Ellerbe than to any publie man in thc last eight years, and it proves a lack of grat tude and political wisdom-to be led astray by manufactured newspaper sentiment at this late day. It ought to be, in our opinion, either rro hibition or dispensary in this campaign the former as represented by Featherstone, r the latter represented by Governor El erbe. The other fellows are trring to bunco the Governor out of a job, it seems to us. These are our sentiments. In all of his uilitary appointments, Gov ernor Ellerbe has recognized both factions, but especially the anti-Tillmanites; such mer & Alston, Thompson, Earle and oth ers r'.-ect credit upon the State. We don't claim that the Governor is a brilliant man or that he is likely to set the woods on fire with his eloquence, but we. do claim that he is an honest man, a safe man-and one to be trusted.-Georgetown Times. Governor Ellerbe his been criticised for making appointments all along through his administration, and he has bestowed favors that were most unexpected and surprising to the public. He is being censured now for not making selections from the upper part of the State in providing the field and staff officers of the second regiment of vol unteers, because so large a proportion of the enlisted men are from this section. The Governor certainly displayed bad judg ment if he was seeking political favor in making these appointments, as not only the preponderance of volunteers has gone from this part of the State, but the voting strength lies in the same region, and he surely missed a great opportunity to popu larize himself, according to the measure of his critics, when he failed to choose men on account of sectional advantages and geog raphical location. But we trust the Governor has been ac tuated by better and higher motives, and so far as we can discover he has not made any mistake in choosing the men he did, as they are capable, experienced and roli able. Wilie Jones, Henry Thompson and Havelock Eaves, to say nothing of the staif officers, are men of heroic mould, and will give a good account of themselves, whether' in facing an enemy or looking after the welfare of the men they will have in charge. There is no discount on their courage, efficiency and judgment, and the second regiment may be congratulated on its lead ership. Military appointments should never be made, especially in time of war, except for fitness and capacity, and it will ot be charged that Governor Ellerbe failed in this respect. If he had chosen men from the up-country, aud there was no scarcity of good material from which to make a selection, the Governor would have been censured by others for seeking the votes of this section by the distribution of his patronage. He is in a close place, and as a candidate for re-election he has a stmpy road to travel, but when he gives the public service such men as we have named, it is pitiful to find objection on. the score of sectionalism, which ought to be banished altogether from South Caro-; lina-Greenville Mountaineer, ThelSpartan is carrying no candidate for Governor, but it has no sympathy for the manner in which Mr. Watson attacks Gov ernor Ellerbe. Why does he not bring specific charges, giving time, place and cir umstance?, It is easy to make general dec larations, and that seems to he what Mr. Watson is doing. This is not an Ellerbe paper, but it believes in fair dealing all round.-Spartanburg Spartan. Jelly Tumblers Fruit Jars~ Pearl Top Lamp Shades. A full supply of these at Notice.

Probabiy no man, unless it was 10n Tilhuan himself, has eve r made a braver, cleanor or more determinead campaign than Governor Ellerbe is now mnaking to succeed himself as Governor of the State. With nvery fiction ind a hade of opintion ar ravel aga:n;t hti. th eh-an. honest and bra1v campaign he is'' :laki" has s-ervedI not on!v to weld L. aiirers th closer to hi:u, bn' to extort from th v:ho h av been hspLsed to ri a oppose him that 'he sin'p - der.Te Ikrad ison.... ..se... ..E: agizedl th'e combined migh now wagin' taanst the0 Governor, and next we..: w:ll shovw our readers the unhlinre2: of this politeal combine agnsI hiun.

Wh:le cheerfully accord:rg perf t lbrtv of opinion to every nian, he clainis the same privilege for himself; and while .giving a wiiling ear to the advice or suggestions of his friends he rencl- dictation as contemptuous, pre ferring to do his ow n thinking along polit ica lines which he conceives to be for the best good of the State, without regard to tle selfish mon:es of professional politi cIIn'. lie scorns to wear any man's collar, and next week will give his reasons for supportong Governor Ellerbe in the pres ent campaign. The tight is now on, an1 it remains to be soen whether a combina tion of polttlcians is to triumph against him, or whether th wi:1 of an honest, re fleeting people is to prevail. The Herald will continue to be for the people, let the result be what it may.-Laurens Herald. There is comparatively little life in the State campaign. Watson and Tillman stiil attack Ellerbe, but are making very little e. of him, tby are simply making him friends. The writer was in Columbia last week, tad it was the impression there that Governor Ellerbe would be re-elected on the first ballot by 1U,000O majority. We find that the people are not displeased with Ellerbe--it is the politicians, and the rea son of it is that the. can't mana;e him. Elle-be is stronger w:th the people than le ever was. Ie is a safe man and his back bone is too stiff for the politicians.-Marion Times. We know not what legitimate influences have been brought to bear on Governor Ellerbe, nor how strong a pull has been made on his political proclivities at the ex pense of his judgment. We do know, how .ever, that Watson, candidate for Governor, has been soundly berating him on the stump for appointing a former Conserva tive colonel of the first regiment. a fact which shows that Watson is unfit to be the Governor of the State or to be trusted with any other office within the gift of the people.-Gaffney Ledger. "Governor Ellerbe," says the Sumter Freeman, "is the only one of the candi dtes for Governor who has a practical plan for the reduction of taxes. lie advocates biennial sessions of the Legislature, which would save the State at least $30,000 a year." Prohibition in Flaine--a humbug. Maine is often referred to as the great Prohibition State, and as an illustrious ex ample for other States to imitate. We inti mated last week that prohibition had been tried in this town, more than once, and~ that it was a miserable failure; that what was true of ocalities was true of States, even such States as M1aine, Kansas andI other States. IHere is an extract from an article written by a staunch friend of the said law and published in the Brunswick (aine) Telegraph, which bears out our assertion: "There is an increase of lawlessness in aine. 'Rvum murders' are alarmingly fre quent for a State that has so often been in troduced to others and to itself as the 'good old Prohibition State of MIaine.' "The law is openly violated in many of our commnunities and violated, too, by the connivance of those who, 'by their oaths of offie, are sworn to an equal and impartial enforcement of all the laws of the State. For years the law has been so openly vio lated by the tuultitude of open saloons in the city of Bangor, and with the connivance of the city and county oficials that Bangor has become, in effet, 'a low license city, the amrual 'round-up' and fines of the liquor selers being less expensive for these deal ers than would by the payment of the Ii cense fee required in many low license States. WXhst is true of Bangor is eqlually true of many other localities, even of some of our smaller towns." Entaoe Eamhinatians SOlith Cirolimi Co11ete.

For State Senator. in anr-ouncing myself a candidate for the ollice of State Senator I think it proper to define my position on one of the leading questions now be fore the people-Prohibition. I be lieve the dispensary law to be the most practical liquor regulation that we can have at present and its en forcement makes it a temperance measure, because as long as the United States government permits persons to receive liquor from out side of the State for "personal use," just so long will prohibition fail to prohibit. My idea of a true representative of the people, is to let the people know his views on a question of such im portance, and if the people whom he represents differ with him and a ma jority express that difference of opin Ion at the ballot box, it is the duty of said representative to respect their wishes. Now, therefore, in order to learn whether a majority of the vot ers favor prohibition, I will request the county chairman to provide a separate box at each precinct and furnish tickets printed "Prohibition" and "Dispensary." Should the "Pro hibtion" ticket receive a majority of the votes east, I will pledge myself to vote for and work earnestly for pro hibition,feeling that to do otherwise, I would be misrepresenting the ma jority. I also pledge if elected, to make a study of the county's needs and work for its interests. Louis APPELT. For County Auditor.
