The battle of ballots in several of the States last week resulted in a division of opinion as to the ef fect on the present national ad ministration. The republican press regard the result as an endorsement of President McKinley's foreign poli cy as well as an endorsement of his entire administration, including his American-Spanish war policy. The democratic press, on the other hand, claim the falling off of votes in Re publican Ohio, the sweeping defeat of republicanism in Nebraska, and the placing of Maryland in the demo cratic column again, a loud rebuke to the admistration, a protest against monopolies, trusts and combines, a warning against a large standing army, a repudiation of imperialism and millitaris:n, but in our humble judgment the vote of last weel had very little to do with the contest next year. When both parties launch forth their platforms, and place their candidates thereon, the issues may be entirely different, from what they are at present. We are almost certain both parties will put forward the same leaders, McKinley will represent the repub licans and Bryan the democrats, that is if the Democratic National Convan tion reaffirms the Chicago platform, but if a compromise is effected and free silver is dropped, it will be hard to say who will lead the democratic host. There are many democrats who want the silver plank taken out of the platform, and go before the - -pana with solid ranks against trusts, and imperialism. Bryan is so com mitted to silver he cannot afford to stand upon a compromise platform, and if the convention fails to hold on to the silver plank he will have to give away. Bryan is, in our opinion the ablest leader the party has, and we believe he can poll more votes than any other democrat, but can he win? The Republicans are behind the trenches and they have all of their exposed positions armored with gold, can Bryan storm the Republican bat teries with sufficient force to capture them? If the people throughout the North and East were permitted to exercise their choice perhaps the story would be different, but where their very existance depends upon those who are interested in the trusts and monopolies the outlook is certainly discouraging to wrest the government from those in control now. Politi cians may figure and theorize as they may, but the fact, remains,that in this day of greed for gold, the party having the fattest purse, is the surest wmnner. The news from the English-Trans vaal war is getting scarce. The British in the Transvaal are having about as tough a time as the Ameri cans in the Philippines. President McKinley is to deliver an address at Mount Vernan on Dec ember 14, when the Masonic obser vance of the one hundredth anni versary of Washington's death will be held. The Ujnited States Cruiser Char leston was wrecked off the Northern coast of Luzon on Tuesday 7th inst. All on board saved. The Charleston was one of th~e first vessels sent to Manila after the destruction of the Spanish fleet by Admiral Dewey. The State fair was nmagnificently managed this year, and while the committee deserve credit for the very fine show, Colonel Thomas Holloway the Secretary and Treasurer, is en titled to the thanks and the praise of the people, for it was him at last, upon whom the bulk of the work and management fell upon; the way he handled the immense throng each day was wonderful and his exhibits were highly satisfactory. During fair week in Columbia the politicians of all grades, and from everywhere were in evidence, and there was any quantity of hobnob bing for the futuire. The political sails were being trimmed for the State campaign next summer, and the indications are, that the cam paigners will need to carry refrigera tors along with them. The dispensa many prominent men expressed the opinion similar to that of TnE TnIEs. The plan suggested by this paper to put the liquor question before the people for their settlement is growing in favor, and so is the plan to let the counties control the traffic. There seems to be an almost unan mous sentiment fcr Governor Mc Sweeney to be his own successor, so well has he managed the helm of the ship of State. The Prohibition lead ers held a conference, but from what we could gather it was the old case of "marching up the hill and down again" they did very little, but we suspect they will direct their efiorts towards capturing the legislature which is the most practical plan if they are in earnest to secure prohibi tion legislation. The main fight next summer will be for a successor to B. R. Tillman's seat in the United States Senate, L. W. Youmans of Barnwell, and A. C. Jones of New berry are said to be candidates, and of course Senator Tillman will give these gentlemen all the entertainment on the stump they aro looking for. Youmans will be remembered as the man with the huge moustache who made such a hot fight in 1892 on the Sheppard ticket, and Jones is the man that conducted the Prohi bition campaign last year and after the battle was over, announced him .ielt as a candidate for Senatorial honors. There are several gubernatorial horses that would like to be led out on the track, but Governor McSween ey's administration has given such general satisfaction, they are hesitat ing to sacrifice themselves when the chances of success appear so gloomy.

Washington, Nov. 14. - "A Bryan triumph" is what nearly every demo crat and many'republicans see in the results of the State elections, and it is not likely that there will be any more serious talk of anybody else for the head of the democratic ticket, next year. Col. Bryan's magnificient suc cess in his own State, where he large ly inc.reased the fusion majority in the face of many obstacles, including the influence of the Federal adminis tration and the lavish expenditure of money by the republicans, aroused admiration even among his oppo nents. Boss Hanna's success in Ohio, probably the most costly campaign ever carried on in a single State, is accepted as having knocked the bot tom out of all the schemes to spring an anti-McKinley candidate on the republicans, and, unless something of a scandalous nature should be fasten ed upon his administration between now, and the meeting of the republi can national convention, Mr. McKin ley will not be opposed for renomi nation; but a strong element in the republican party, including many of its prominent men in Congress, have already began to demand of Mr. Mc Kinley that he depose King Hanna before the Presidential campaign opens. That will not be an easy job, as Hanna has as much justification in claiming his dearly paid for victory in Obio as a personal vindication as Mr. McKinley has in claiming it as an endorsement of imperialism by the country. Imperialism run mad may be look ed for in future acts of the adminis tration, as Mr. McKinley and all his cabinet have succeeded in persuading themselves into believing that the State elections were an endorsement of imperialism by the people, not withstanding the anti-imperialist vic tories in Nebraska, and in Maryland. The result in Ohio was not an en dorsement of anything except the power of money corruptly spent. Owing to the large number of Maryland democrats engaged in bus iness in Washington there has been unusual rejoicing at the National capital on account of the return of that State to the democratic fold, from which it would never have stray ed had there not been a bitter family row in the democratic camp. Mary-. land democrats are very positive in saying that they can keep the State in line now that the party is again united. Now that there is no campaign to influence, it is admitted by members of the administration that tbe move ment to capture Aguinaldo and his army, which it was officially announc ed the day before election could not possibly fail, has met with delays which it is feared will give Aguinialdo time enough to get away. General Joe Wheeler has written that he will take his seat in the House during the coming session of Con gress, but as he has not left Manila yet, so far as known in Washington, and it will take between six and eight weeks for him to make the trip, he cannot be at the opening of Congress. Constitutional experts say that should Brave Men Fall. Victims to stomach, liver and kidney troubles as well as women, and all feel the results in loss of appetite, poisons in the blood, backache, nervousness, headache, and tired, listless, run-down feeling. But there is no need to feel like that. Listen to J. W. Gardner, Idaville, Ind. He says: "Electric Bitters are just the thing for a man when he is all run down, and don't care whether he lives or dies. It did more to give me more strength and good appe tite than anything I could take. I can now eat anything and have a new lease on life." Only 50 cents, at. Rt. B. Loryea's drug General Wheeler appear in the House to take the oath his status would be entirely different to that occupied by him when objection was raised to his resuming his seat in the House while holding the commission of a major general of volunteers, on the ground that his acceptance of a commission in the army vacated his seat in the House, an objection which was sus tained by the committee of which Speaker-to-be Henderson was chair man, and which would have been sustained by the House bad not the personal popularity of General Wheeler been so great that the House declined to consider the report on the plea that there was not time enough, owing the nearness of the end of the session. When General Wheeler's present commission briga dier general of volunteers was given him he was not a member of the House, although he had been elected as such. Consequently no objection will be made to his beiag sworn in as a member whenever lie presents him self, but the moment be takes the oath as a member of the House he will cease to bb a brigadier general. Secretary Gage says he thinks the State elections were an order to the republicans in Congress to put the single gold standard into a law. Dem ocrats only hope that he will be able to convince the republican leaders in Congress to think the same way. Admiral Dewey caried his special ty of doing things before others think he is ready to do them into the ar rangements for his marriage. A few days ago he procured his marriage license, and he is married now almost before the public knows anything more about it. Chamberlain's Pain Balm Cures Others, Why Not You? My wite has been using Chamberlain's Pain Balm, with good results, for a lame shoulder that has pained her cont nually for nine years. We have tried all kinds of medicines and doctors without receiving any benefit from any of them. One day we saw an advertisement rf this medicine and thought of trying it, which we did with the best of satisfaction. She has used only one bottle and her shoulder is almost well. Adolph L. Millett, Manchester, N.H. For sale at the R. B. Loryea drug store. A Good Suggestion. Editor TuE TIMLs: This is an age of steam and elec tricity; progression on all sides, in everything except public roads. The same old ruts that the cows started years ago we are traveling in today. What we need is a complete revolu tion in this respect. The people, the rich and poor demand this, and the man who can push successfully to completion a good system of public roads, the nearest route of course, all things being equal-would prove to be a public benefactor. Summerton and vicinity need a first class road by the nearest line to Manning, our county seat; Manning needs the same road. The present road is a zig-zag route, twice the dis tance, almost required. We need good public roads equally as much if not more than we need railroads. If we wish to go to Columbia or the upper part of the State, from our section, we have to get up before day, in order to drive to Manning over this same zig-zag route to catch the train at Manning. Help us to get this new and direct road, so that we can save time and therefore money. The claims of this just cause are so apparent, that I shall not add a word more. Yonrs respecfully, J. C. La.t Summerton, S. C., Nov. 14th, 1899. A Remarkable Case. Antioc, Miss., July 1, 1898. I want to thank you for the great benefit I have received from your wonderful rem edy, Benedicta.
