No registration certifi cates are necessary to vote in the primary. We would appreciate very much if, imme diately after the votes are counted, returns be sent to Tur. Tzxzs, so that we can give te result as soon as possible. Managers, One of the candidates ing over the county accidentally slip over the county line, and strange to sa e met with many promises of votes, and stranger still, not a soul mentioned .the'names of his oppo nents; he was.4eeping things before him. This candidate had never been about much, and when at last he discovered he was out of his bailiwick he had his horse hitched up and immediately pulled for Clarendon, hoping that neither of his opponents would find out his accident, but fate was against him; one of his opponents spent the night on the county line and was waiting for him to return. These candidates, once they get the scent, follow close behind and are hard to shake off. But the fellow that crossed the line fared better in the end, be cause his opponent in wishing to make himself agreeable to his guests where he spent th-e night, walked up to a crib where a little baby was cooing, and as he truckled the little dimple-cheeked fellow under the chin he remarked that he would recognize the child anywhere by the striking resem blance to its father. The mother of the child changed the subject abruptly and it was not until the next day that our glib tongued candidate discovered the mother to be sensitive on that subject, as the father of the child was not proclaiming that parentage from the housetops.

Editor THE TImES: The election is now near at hand and the time for the voters of Claren don county to decide who is to Rep resent them in the next Legislature. As a candidate for the honor of rep resenting the people in that august assemblage, I will briefly give the people my views through the colums of your widely circulated paper on two points most essential as I think to the people. My points are-one is Education and the other is Taxation I believe all of our institutions of learning ought to be sustained and as liberal appropriations made as can be justly made to promote and advance the cause education and es pecially help to the Free Common schools of South Carolina I am op posed to no means of education in South Carolina. I am in favor of every means. The Colleges and all the higher institutions of learning will take care of themselves, and the representative of the people must guard and take care of the Free Common schools of the State and with the free schools justly and lib erally supported by the State; with a proper interest taken in the efforts of the State by parents to have their children to attend the schools, and a close application of the children to their studies while in attendance, will we believe insure a good educa tion to every child in the State. This arrangement all round between State parents and children will insure we believe a good education to every child in the State. The late Edward Everett, a man of unquestioned statesmanship and ability and a member of Congress from Massachu setts, condensed in a single brief par agraph what constitutes a good edu cation. Here it is: "To read the English language well, to write with despatch a neat, legible hand, and be master of the first four rules of arithmetic, so as to dispose at once of every question of figures which comes up in practice." With the efforts of both the State and the people the ends of education to the above quot ed extent we believe can be attained. Let us all remember that along this line that the efforts of the State and the people separately will not do, but the co-operation of both State and people will be needed to reach the desired results, and the impression lastingly made, that a good educa tion is elevating and refining and is the foundation of happiness. This much is my view briefly stated in reference to education for the pres ent. The next matter is taxation. I be lieve taxes are unnecessarily higher than they ought to be. Governor Ellerbe, if I am not mistaken in my recollection, did on some occasion say that it is impossible to reduce taxation. This expression I must ad mit sounds a little strange to me, but nevertheless I will not take issue with the Governor at this point, for I presume he must know whereof he speaks. The power that makes it impossible to redio'e taxation ought to be equally as sprightly and make it as impossible to increase taxation. We all know that taxation is essen tial to the upholding of a govern ment it is true, but at the same time we would like to impress one indis putable fact upon the minds of all law-makers, and that fact is that paying heavy taxes is grievous and burdensome to taxpayers and is not so pleasant to them as it is to those who are reaping a profligate harvest s the fruits ~of higher taxation in South Carolina will produce and that t the expense of the taxpayers. Let egislators as soon as possible inaugu rate a system of governmental econ my in South Caroina, and by all means in their power at least reduce ur burdensome taxes. I am in favor of better and more eneficial assistance for education and more especially for the free chools of the State and for lower axation. If I am elected to repre ent the people of Clarendon in the ext Legislature for these results I will contend, let the consequences be what they may. Should the people f Clarendon county confide in me sfficient to honor me with a seat in he next Legislature I will promise hat their confidence shall not be bused, nor neither shall they have ause to regret so doing. I will with ut fear or favor endeavor to do my uty as I may understand it, and if [ come short of my duty then my onstituents can safely attribute my shortcomings to an error of the head ad not the heart. GEo. R. JoNES. Davis, S. C., Aug. 11, 1898. Beanre TheKin You Have Always Bought About one month ago my child, which is itfteen months old, had an attack of diar ha accompanied by vomiting. I gave it uch remedies as are usually given in such ases, but as nothing gave relief, we sent or a physician and it was under his care or a week. At; this time the child had een sick for about ten days and was hay ng about twenty-five operations of the owels every twelve hours, and we were onvinced that unless it soon obtained re ief it would not live. Chamberlain's Colic, holera and Diarrhoea Remedy was recom nended, and I decided to try it.
