Senator Tillman was yesterday elected one of the vice presidents of the Anti-Imperialist League, at a meeting of the Executive Committee held in Boston. Congressman Norton has been, and is still at it, working hard to induce the authorities at Washington to re store the Lake City postoffice. It is unjast to punish a whole community for a crime committed by persons un known. Surely all i.be men, woman, and children were not implicated in the hilling of Lake City's post mas ter. Governor Ellerbe continues quite ill and fears are entertained for his recovery. He is at home in Sellers where he attends to such business as needs his attention, which we think has a great deal to do with keeping him from improving. We believe it would be for the best interests of the State and for the Governor's health if he would call to the Executive chair his Lieutenant, and thereby get re lieved of the great responsibility un til his strength warrants a return to business. We believe the law per mits the governor to turn the affairs of the State over to the Lieutenant Governor temporily, if it does we think, under the circumstances Gov ernor Ellerbe should do so at once, because at present, business must be delayed. General Wade Hampton has given to the press a letter declining to per mit the people to rebuild his home. Of course the people of South Caro lina appreciate the General's feelings in this matter, at the same time, we do not think that he is in a proper position to decline a gift from a peo ple who desire to give some substan tial token of their esteem. The con tributions to be made are not given in a spirit of charity, but in a spirit of love and appreciation-the same feeling which prompts a loving and dutiful son to give a token to an aged parent, prompts the people of South Carolina to build the CHampton Home." Let this work of love go on, and we again call upon the ladies of this county to organize clubs in every township for the purpose securing contributions, and to start the ball in motion Thu Tnus proposes to place upon the subscription list of a club to be organized in this township the som of ten dollars. Ladies go to work for this worthy object, as you did in 1876 when the gallant Hamp ton rode from the mountains to the sea, driving the vandals, and oppres sors from the State. Dearness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an indlamed condition of the mucou~s lining of the Eustachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can b~e ta.., "mt and this tube restored to its nor mal concten, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Caitarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & Co., Toledo, 0.

C., May 19.-If the scheme of the Reed chairmen of the most important committees of the last House to keep their places under the new organization of the House is a success, the next Speaker will find that he is merely at the head of the old Reed legislative machine. The argument put forth by these schemers is little short of ridiculous. If accepted, it would mean that every man at the head of an important ccm mittee had a right to stay there as long as he could get elected and his party could control the House. Such a plan would be unjust to the Speak er, who would be little more than a figurehead, if he could not control the make-up of the committees, and equally unjust to the members who wish to better their committee posi tions. The Reed machine says that all the old chairmen who were re elected should be given the same places, and points to fourteen vacant chairmanships, owing to retirement of the old cbairmen, as the only ones that the new Speaker should put new men into; also that none of the mem bers of important committees should new Speaker fourteen chairmanships, only four of which are important Accounts, Banking and Currency, Coinage and Printing-to distribute among his supporters, and 57 vacan cies to fill on eighteen of the import ant committees. It is said that these hold-overs intend to form a combine to prevent the election of any candi date who will not agree to their plans. Representative De Vries, who will have the honor of being the only Democrat from California in the next House, is in Washington. He says the Governor is going to appoint Burns to the Senate, with the under standing that he is to be seated at the same time Quay gets in, and that the appointment will give the State Ito the Democrats. General Joe Wheeler returned to Washington this week, but not upon any order from the War Department. le has no immediate expectations of being ordered to the Philippines, be cause the administration is too busy hoping that the fighting is over to be thinking of ordering officers to go there. Representative Gaines of Tennes see is in Washington on business. Speaking of the political outlook he said: "The Democrats have only to stand firm, renominate Bryan, make some additions to the Chicago plat form, and they will sweep the coun try in 1900. Bryan's renomination is assured, for he is just as much ad mired in the strongholds of the party as he was in '96. The next platform will declare for free silver, but will also declare against expansion, mil itarism, and the trusts, which threaten the destruction of the ration. What makes the prospect all the brighter for the Democracy is the torn and divided state of the Repub licans. When Congress meets and the majority tries to enact iron-clad gold standard legislation, it will find out the true sentiment of the country on the financial question." Representative Henderson's candi dacy for the Speakership may be hurt more than helped by the work that is being done in his behalf by the old soldier organizations, which are asking votes for him on the ground that he will organize the com mittees of the House so as to insure more liberal pension legislation. It would seem to an unprejudiced ob server that the country has already gone to the extreme limit in the matter of pension liberality, and the election of a Speaker who would fa vor going further in that direction would be regarded as anything else than a blessing outside of those who would receive the money or be di rectly benefitted by a further increase in the already enormous pension pay ments annually made by this govern ment. Kentucky Republicans were per fectly willing to have the gold Dem ocrats vote with them to-carry that State, but they are not willing to have the gold Democrats rewarded with the Federal offices, and they have, through Senator Debee, filed a vigorous protest with the administra tion against Senator Lindsay of Ken tucky being allowed to name six out of the thirteen census supervisors the State is entitled to. Mr. McKinley has lost no opportunity to show his gratitude to the men without whose votes he would have been defeated, and the chances are that the original idea will be carried out, regardless of the protest. The alacrity with which three of the big-headed young officeholders Assistant Secretary Vanderlip of the Treasury, Assistant Secretary Allen of the Navy Department and Assist ant Postmaster General Perry Heath -appointed themselves a national committee to receive contributions that are being made all over the country to buy a home in Washing ton for Admiral Dewey was a little bit astonishing even to the old-timers who are accustomed to the freshness of the officeholders of the association brand. However, as their selfmade redentials seem to hava been ac epted by the country, the matter is only mentioned to show how easy it is for a man of gall to push himself along after he gets a little start. They were wise enough to elect Mr. Roberts, Treasurer of the United States, treasurer of the committee. Present indications are that much more than the price of the most ex pensive residence in Washington will be contributed. A Woman's Letter. Coolidge, Ky., Aug. 20. 1898.

Wish I could give the programme as it was pre sented. One thing. however, that deserves mention was a song, "There'il Come a Time," by three little girls. At the closing of the exercises Capt. % S. Briggs in behalf of the school and Miss Curtis announced that all were cordially invited to take part in a Basket Picnic on school house grounds the next day. A pleasant time for all is expected.
