Political activity will set in all over the State of South Carolina on and after next Saturday. The Democratic clubs will on that day choose their represent atives for the county conventions, which in turn will choose representa tives for the State convention. A po litical ailm now pervades the State. as there are no issues which are of an ex citing nature. Politicians gain very little comfort or encouragement from the result of- conventions for the reason that the people themselves by their individual ballots in the primaries con trol the results. The conventions now-a-days are al most useless contrivances and only serve to keep up party organization. -When nominations were made by the convention plan, every aspirant for pub lic office strove hard to secure the or ganization that he might come away with the prize, but now that every voter has the privilege of making his own choice, the candidates for public favor must deal directly with him and not with men who pose as leaders. It is often the case that men who are not conspicuous in the conventions,are very successful at the ballot-box, and many of those who carry everything their own way in conventions, make a poor showing for themselves in the prima ries. When our county conventions meet next month, it will be an excep tion to the rule if there is not a skir mish for advantage. Just what the ad vantage is in getting control of a con vention, and securing the management of the party's machinery we are at a loss to understand, because. when the primary is ordered, each club selects its own managers and the friends of every candidate have a right to witness the casting of the ballots and the count, thus making it almost impossible for any cheating if there is any disposition to do so. The primary elections in this county have been conducted, especially so in the past few years with the utmost fair ness; even when factional feeling ran riot, the disposition was to give each side a fair showing to the extent that both factious were represented at the various clubs. Now that there is no factional feeling, and all bitterness has been removed, we see no reason why there should be the slightest feeling of distrust. If any issues should arise, those ad vocating their various i-leas can go be fore the voters and diserass the issues in a calm and dispassionate manner with out giving offense or being offended. Every man has a right to his ideas and if he can convince a majority to his way of thinking he is entitled, and will receive the vote he merits. What are likely to be the issues in the coming primary? We must con fess that up to now there has been no definte announcment made. The pro hibition element of the Democratic party have held a few preliminary meetings, and an address has been is sued which, while not indicating just what part they propose to play on the political chess-board they have said enough to lead us to believe that they have plans by which they will make a strong effort to uproot the dispensary system. Whether they will put for ward a full State ticket remains to be seen, but we do not think we are gues *sing wildly when we say, they will have a legislative ticket in every coun tv. Whether the result of such a plan will be successful remains entirely in the hands of the people. We know that personal popularity often carries votes for an issue, because out of re -gard for the man the voter loses sight of the issue and casts his vote contrary to his convictions. *We know there are now members of alseml who were elect ed by a people, the i~~v of .whom are opposed to them on the N o of liquor control, but voted for them outside of that issue altogether. Had the question been made an issue in their counties, as we believe it will be in the coming election, these men being op posed to the majority, would not be oc cupying their present positions. Per sonal popularity very properly counts for much when there are no special is sues, but when special issues are in volved, they become a principle, and we sometimes, although reluctantly, in order to vote for the principle, have to vote against a man for whom we have a high regard. To do otherwise would be giving up our own convictions to gratify an individual who would not do the same for us. Since the above was written we learn that a State prohibition conference w~ill be called to meet in Columbia on the 23rd day of May for the purpose of considering the propriety of suggest ing candidates for governor and lieut enant governor, and that county calls will be made for meetings on May I2th to send delegates to the State confer ence, and at these county meetings a Prohibition county chairman is to be chosen for' the campaign. It will thus be seen that as the Pro hibitionists are prepaing to eriect a .separate and distinct organization, it is well for those favoring the Dispensary system. to meitet the issue fairly and squarely in our coigcuty Demo cratie conventiou. and select our county chairman and representative on the State Democratic Executive Committee in accordance with the majority senti Reports of peace in t. Philippines seel to be somewhat of a myth as last week is said to have been the bloodiest of the war. The Columbia State's reports of the decisions of the State Supreme Court is a great service to the lawyers and the people generally. They are prepared by Col. J. S. Reynolds an expert news paper writer. Governor Taylor the Republican, is now keeping out of the way of an in dictment, charging him with being an sr t the aai ion of Gov ernor Goeble. Kentucky has had a record breakilng and blood besmearing nortical record such as no State in this nion has ever had before. - ighting in South Africa con tinues with very little prospect of a eessation of hostilities, and the re ports censored as they are. show re markable activity on the part of the Boers and a strange amount of igno rance on the part of the English as to their estimates of the Boer strength.

It has been intimated to us, that we should not be so strong in our views on the question of liquor control, that many who believe in prohibition are our friends. When we write an edi torial we do so without the slightest in tention of giving offense to any indi vidual, and we accord to our prohibi tion friends the same privilege that we take. THE TIMES believes the dispen sary system is nearer to a practical tem perance reform than would be a prohi bitory law on our statute books, but at the same time we know of no law which gives us the right to make other people think as we do. As a news paper we give our individual views, and have time and again offered the use of our columns to those who desire to present to the people opposite views, We regard this honest and fair. Any man favoring prohibition desiring to present his views to our readers is cor dially welcome to publish a communica tion in this paper. We would not re gard a newspaper to be worthy of the name, if its editor did not express his convictions. It is legitimate for us to express our views on a given question, and we have no desire to crush the views of others. His Life Was Saved. Mir. J. E. Lily. a prominent citizen of Han nibal.

Lipa, Province Batangas. Luzon. P. I.. March 7, 1900.--Have only received onie copy of THE TIMEs since reaching the Philippines, have you stricken my name off your list of subscribers? You have no idea how one appreciates a let ter or paper so far away from home. During the past month my company has has two small fights, other compa nies belonging to the 38th, have had some pretty warm engagements. We. are kept on the go all the time, _nearly every day one or more companies are sent out to make a reconnaissance in the vicinity of Lipa, the principal object is to keep the enemy scattered. These hikes are very seldom less than 20 miles a day: about 10 da ao we were out for three days, weleft here at four a. m. and marched 21 miles by 10 a. in., the next day after marching eight or ten miles came to the Malihit River, the bridges were destroyed there was no other way except to swim it so the or der was given for all those that could swim to get at it, in about a half hour we were all across. Several with their guns and clothes above their heads stepped in holes. and of course wore wet clothes all that day, among them was the Major. The day after we re turned marching in all 60 miles, as the result 32 men from Co. "E" are now in the hospital with fever and sore feet. The officers cant imagine what it was that made the men sick, seems like any man with common sense ought to know that a force march in this hot climate 'like the one I have just described is enough to kill any ordinary man. I find small men can hike a large fellow down in a short while. Every town of importance in this Province is held by American troops, the fighting is not over yet by any means, can get a scrap any day by go ingr to the mountains east of Lipa, and I am told this is the case with the other two batallions stationed at San Jose and B~atangas. v opinion (although it doesn't amo n .wOfpins) is that the in surgents will continnie to fight as long as the Democrats hold out to tliem the hope of Independence. They bellee that if Bryan is elected the American troops will be withdrawn from the Islands and their Independence as sured. Now, that is their only chance, and this is why Aguinaldo has adopted his guerrilla tactics simply to prolong the war until the election in the States for President is over. I firmly believe that when the rainy season sets in and just before the election the fighting will be fierce, their leaders know it is use less to try to whip the Americans, so in this our next election rest their hope, their all. If the Republicans win the war will end in a short time. Will the American people be able to vote in teligently on this question. If so, which party is going to win . If the Democrats who are so bitterly opposed to expansion would oniy adopt Senator McLauwin's tactics the South Question Answered. Yes. August Flower still has the lar gest sale of any medicine in the civil zed world. Your mothers and grand mothers never- thopught of using an thing else for Indigestion or Bilious ness. Doctors were scarce and they seldom heard of Appendicitis. Nervous P rostration or Heart, failure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fermentation of undi gested food, regulate the action of the iver, stimulate the nervous and organic action of the system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other aches. You only need a few doses of Green's August Flower, in liquid form, to make you sat isied th~ere is nothing serious the mat ter~ with you. For sale by the R. B3. Loryea Dirug Store, Isaac M.

I will suggest only an idea of mine put down the Insurrection over here. and then send every negro from the States to the Philippine islands and put them in charge of affairs. There is plenty of room over here. and just the country for the colored man. These natives are nothing more than ut-groes and are just as ilt to run this govern ment as the nigger is to run our gov ermnent at home, so I am in favor of giving our negro a chance of self gov ernment. and there is no better Lplace on earth to experiment than right here. The two races can sympathize with each other. both having been slaves. The papers over here only describe some important engagement, we learn more about what is going on from home papers but things are exagerated so. It is all bosh about the Insurgents kil ling more than is stated in official re ports and that the government doesn't give facts and suppress the real state of affairs. I am surprised at intelligent men speaking as they do: all the lying is in.the papers from the States. I believe it to be a just war, a bles sing to our country and these people. Today there dre thousands of young men that have employment on account of it, who were willing to work at home i but could not find it, then again it has put off the war which I believe must come some day if the laboring man doesn't get relief. Some' people will laugh at one that would seek employment in the Army and at once apply for a position on a railroad when statistics show that twice as many were killed in railroad wrecks etc., in the United States during the vear 1898 than were wounded, killed or died on both sides during the Spanish American War. I love the life because there in some thing new to be seen and learied at all times, a chance for promotion, and if an enlisted man half tries to do his duty he can save more than the major ity of the young men that farm for a living at present prices of cotton etc. I'd advise no one whose habits are not. formed to join the army for it is very demoralizing and many young men have been ruined, but it is not a traveling "Gambling Hell" as some papers try to make it appear. On a reconnaissance yesterday Corpl. Karriho of my company came near being killed by aCariboo (better known as a water Buffalo.) This is the first time my company ran from the enemy. Just as we reached the top of a high hill the Oariboo saw us, the crowd frightened him he soon broke loose from where he was tied and made a charge on the point, not having time to load, one of the men struck him on the head with his ritie, he then came for the main body, every man broke ranks and ran. Corpl. Kirraho loaded his rifle, but just as he closed the cham ber the animal struck him. he was thrown about 15ft.. the Cariboo jumped on him and proceeded to finish his work. . About that tiene every man in the company had his rifle loaded and was trying to get a shot,. no one could shoot for the man, was tossed up and down, the poor fellow commenced to hollow, "boys help me, help me." One man rushed up placed his rifle, to its side and fired three time, the third shot turned him around, with his tail in the air and the blood pouring from nostrils: he made another charge: such running I never saw. After getting in the crowd again no one could shoot so we gave him the road. About that time Captain Sawyer appeared on the scene, thinking we had ran into the enemy. and seeing his men running in every direction: he was raging, told a man to to get up and not be a coward. A bout' that time the man said. 'look out, Cap tan, the Cariboo will get you." The Captain beat us all running-the beast ran on about :.> yards down the trail when he was shot dead by one of the men. This is the third man wounded by these animals in my Regiment. and the 4th, one killed by us. It is said a Bat-* tallion of the 14th, Regulars surrender ed to one of them some time ago. He charged the line in the night, some one yelled out "we are surrounded." they took the bolts out of their riiles and threw them away, imagine how they felt after finding out what it was, eight or ten were gored by this one charge. It would be a good idea for the niggers to start a few down the road when they see us coming, the boys are more afraid of the Cariboo than the nigger. This city is now quite a business place, the people have nearly all re turned: suppose there are at least 30,000o here now. *We can attend church daily being in Conveut ad joining Cathe dral. The boys will all soon be school teachers-it is all the go now to meet a girl and teach her English~and she teach you Tagalo. A few days ago 27 couples were mar ried in the Cathedral at the same time, the next day 18, quite a nuimbeir on other occasions were married before we found out what was going on, thought sure it was a funeral procession. So far 1 have enjoyed splendid health and hope my fourteen months more will be as easy. I believe now we will serve out our e'nlistment, so Adios. Will let you hear again before long.

GERSTLE & CO., Proprietors, Chattanooga, Tenn. SEVEN RUNNING SORES CURED -BY Johnston's Sarsaparilla QUARTBOTTLES. THE GREAT SFRING MVIEDICINE. JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA as a Blood Food and Nerve Energizer, is the greatest SPRING MEDICINE ever discovered. It comes as a rich blessing from heaven to the " worn out," the run down, the overworked and debilitated. That " tired feeling," those "sinking spells," the languor and despondency which arise from badly nour ished nerves, from thin, vitiated blood and an underfed body, vanish as if by a magic spell. The weariness, lassitude and nervous prostration which accompany the spring time and the heat of summer, are conquered and banished at once. For every form of neurasthenia, and all ailments of the brain and nerve, insomnia, hysteria and nervousness generally, it is almost a specific. It furnishes the very elements to rebuild worn-out nerve tissues. It feeds brain, nerve centers and nerves, calming and equalizing their action; it makes rich, red, honest blood. Newness of life, new hope. new strength follow its faith ful use. It makes the weak strong, and the old young again. It was the antiquated (but now happily exploded) method In the good old times, to treat Salt Rheum, Scrofula, Cancer and other troublesome disorders arising from BLOOD TAINT with powerful alteratives, such as mercury, arsenic and other mineral agents. It was expected by this treatment that the poison could be killed while the blood was left to course through its channels holding in its circulation the speciftc germs of the disease. Bi: 'n this way, every part of the body became more or less diseased. Noth ing can be more terrible than a horribly destructive blood taint. It not only attacks viru lently the differnt structures of the body, but many times the bones are honey-combed and destroyed. It often seeks out the nerves and spinal cord, and again it will bring de cay and death to some vital organ, as the kidneys, liver or stomach. There is only one scientific method for the cure of blood taint. That is, PURIFICATION! Every particle of the blood must be removed through the execretory channels, the lungs, kidneys, boweis, liver and skin. "First pure, then peaceable." The great restorative, reconstructive and vitalizer of the blood, JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA, not only radically and ex haustively removes the taint, but also removes all mercury. calomel and other minerals, and fills the veins and arteries with the ruby. glowing current of vitality. "'The blaced ?3 the life." Good health means pure blood. The old and reliable remedy. JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA, is universally regarded as the greatest Blood Purifier ever discov ered. This fact is now established beyond question or cavil. BEOOD POISON CUEED BY JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARIEEA.. Byron. Mich., October 31. 18CA.
