It is explained that as the gentle men who are conducting the count in Kentucky were felt obliged to keep one hand in their hip pocket, the count has been necessarily slow. Admiral Dewey need not fear that his friends are growing smaller in number. Americans are a jealous people and quick to resent the reluc tance of even a hero to take them into his confidence. A pension of adequate amount for the widow of brave Captain Gridley seems the least'that Congress can do in order to show appreciation for the gallant officer who was Dewey's flag ship's commander. The New York Tribune has suc ceeded in convincing itself that the Ohio election was a severe rebuke to Hanna. Apparently the editor of the paper founded by Horace Greely has not yet recovered from his disap pointment in not being named as ambassador to Great Britain. The War and Navy Departments are at odds over the removal of the wreck of the Maine from the harbor of Havana. Secretary Long declares that it is a work for the Engineer ing Corps of the Army, and General Brooke asserts that the removal comes under the head of naval work, since the wreck is a serious menace to navigation in the harbor. How ever this may be, the fact remains that it would be a national disgrace if the huge frame is to remain in the harbor, and furthermore there is every reason to believe that there are scores of bodies of the Maine's sea men buried beneath the wreck. Come, get together, gentlemen, and resur rect the bodies of our brave jackies. Congress is now in session, and the country may look for such legisla tion as will place the Republican par ty in an advantageous position in the the coming election. Three hundred and fifty-two members answered to the roll call at tho opening last Mon day,and General David B Henderson of Iowa was elected speaker. James D Richardson of Tennessee was chos en leader for the Democratic minori ty, John C Bell of Colorado the Pop ulist leader, and Francis C Newland of Nevada, the leader of the Silver party. Brigham H. Roberts member elect from the State of Utah was stood aside when the members were being sworn in, on the objections of Mr. Taylor of Ohio, the grounds of objections were that Mr. Roberts is a Polygamist. This case promises to be very interesting and while it is almost a foregone conclusion that Mr. Rob erts will not be allowed to take his seat, before Congress finishes with his case there will be some develope mnents of a sensational character. Catarrh Cannot be Cured with LOCAL APPLICATIONS. as they cannot reach the seat of the desease. Ca tarrh is a blood or constitutional desease, and in order to cnre it you must take inter nal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hail's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this coun try for years. and is a regular prescription. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best puriftis, acting directly on the mucous surfaces. The per fect combination of the two ingredients is what produces such wonderful results in curing Catarrh. Send for testimonials, free. F. J.CHENEY & Co., Props., Toledo, 0. Seid by druggists, price 75c. Hall's Family Pills are the best. G~ood Roads. Editor THE TDI~s: Yes, by all means lets push the *public road question. Mr. Lanham in my opinion has broached the most important question that can occupy our attention now. We need them sadly. Not only from Summerton to Manning but in other directions. People laughed at and ridiculed Coxey, but when he fought for better roads he fought more wisely, and with greater appreciation of a crying need than those who opposed him. It was too big an idea for his enemies to embrace. I have yet to hear a candidate for county office or any other come out on a public road platform. There are always those who have a scheme for reducing taxes, a plan for running the public schools thirteen months in the year. Latterly they discuss Pro hibition and the Dispensary. Now all these are good and worthy subjects, but if Mr. Tillman could not redeem his pledge to have taxes reduced the averma snecimen of letg islative candidates of today can't do it. The best way to get taxes reduc ed is to make our property more pro ductive, make us bigger returns, and in this way be able to pay high taxes. There will be no better way to do this than to improve our public road system. Make it easier to get about, bring communities closer together. Take the oldest public roads in the county and we find them laid out with some system. They either run to the county seat or to Charles ton. One reason why the Summer ton section has no direct road to Manning is that all the old roads run to Sumter or in that direction, having been made before the division of Sumter district, and before Manning was a county seat. New public roads are now in many instances cut with no regard to any system. In many cases cut for the express purpose of running by some promoters house, and are just as crocked as any neigh borhood road, and as poorly kept. The fact is we have too many public roads now, to be cared for, with the present system of work. When we had fewer roads, the law claimed 12 days' duty each year, now with more roads, the time has been cut down, this I suppose on account of what the chaingang does, but, in fact, the roads are no better worked than be fore, except in isolated instances, the great body of road bed, being still worked by the usual road hands. Several countries of Continental Europe are noted for their fine road systems. They are recognized as beingso very essential to the welfare of the State that they are made up elegantly and watched most zealous ly, so as to be kept up to a high standard of excellence. I would re spectfully refer our county authori ties to a system of public roads which has of late years been introduced into the State of New Jersey. It is in New Jersey, but I do not think the plan is cornered by a millionaire cor poration, but can be borrowed by us. This question is a live one, and our delegation in the Legislature could not direct their attention to a more worthy object, and you Mr. Editor could not give your space to a ques tion of more vital interest to your subscribers. Yours truly, FA.vER. Prevented A Tragedy. Timely information given Mrs. George Long, of 'New Straitsville, Ohio, prevented a dreadful tragedy and saved two lives.

We always originate, while others only imitate, and we have each year sold more Holiday Goods than any other house in the country. In fact in our long business career we have made a reputation in all lines of goods, selling dependable goods at let live prices that we can boast over and which we must maintain in the future as in the past. So, with that high mission in view, we will begin Monday our annual showing of Xmas Presents. such as will delight the child, the parent, the grand-parent, and, best of all, to suit and please the pocketbook, which some consider the most tender spot of mankind. Commencing Monday morning, Dec. 4, our mammoth store room will put on her Xmas clothing, and if attractive goods at popular prices with polite service is not the place to make shopping a pleasure for December buyers, then we will play silent for a long tine. We have decided to give away a handsome Christmas present, a fine, lovely Doll, to some of our holiday customers. The plan by which you become the winner of this Doll Baby we will make known later through the columns of The Times. While Xmas goods and presents will receive our best at tention for the next three weeks, still we have a big line of Ladies' Dress Goods, Silks, Notions, Ladies' and Gentlemen's Shoes and lots of other things not mentioned that we will sell at prices to move them, owing to the fact that on Dec. 26 we will begin our annual stock-taking and certainly want just as few goods as possible to list, so now is your opportunity.

It is unnecessary to in troduce myself to the readers of The Times, they know me, and they know full wvell that my many years of ex perience, both as a farmer and a merchant, give me a de cided advantage over many others. I have used my ex perience that it may count for the best interests of my business. In doing this I had to study the needs and and warts of my patrons, studying their condition as well as their welfare, because upon their welfare de pends my success. Every business man, to keep up with the progressive spirit now pervading this country must study tho markets just as a lawyer or doctor must study his books. This must be done or he cannot buy his goods to meet competition. I have made deals by which I can sell goods at prices that cannot be duplicated anywhere, and I am going to do it. A visit to my store will convince any buyer that my immense stock has been selected with the greatest care, and contains everything that can be used in the family, or on the plantation.
