Thief Justice Fuller in rendering is decision said the questions involved were not within the jurisdiction of the United States Courts, as, they were purely of State c-oncern and, ce Tyle, according to the constitution and laws of the State. This virtually knocks thec Republicans off their props and they will ma-eke no further resist ance. Taylor the Republican claimant, hlas already thro\vni up the sponge. Some kind friend has senit us an emetic in the shape of a copy of "T'ie Seashore Re.,view" a printed sheet which seems to be doing the scavanger act in the day time, and the Lord-only knows-what. at night. It roosts on Sullivan's Island, and ties over into Charleston where it seems to be poking its bill into everybody's business andl all sorts of places: filth gathering seems to be its mission, which inclines us to the belief that it has the plumage of, and profes ses to be, a mother-carv bird. It is a fortunate thing for Char ~ston that newspaper readers are Mtelligent enough to not take seiously anything they might read in the "Review" be cause its very make up gives its irresponsibility away. The song of a bird that befouls its own nest will not linger long. In the last legislature a bill to permit graduates of the South . Carolina Medical College of Charleston to pr-actice without being examnin ed by the State Medical board, was defeated in the Senate by one vote, after it had passed the House by an over whelming majority. A great many people thought the meas ure a proper one and advocated the passage of the bill, on the ground that a student hav-ing a diploma from the Charleston Medical College was a guarantee of his qualitication to practice medicine. At the last meeting of the State board seventeen graduates failed to pass the r quired examination, and the board discoved five applicants cheating, and they were turned down also. Had it not been for that majo'ity of one in the Sen ate these seventeen incompe tants and tive cheats would now be prescribing medicine to the sick. The constitution of the Dem ocratic party requires of candi dates a pledge setting foith that they are not the candidates of a faction either publicly or priv ately suggested. How will these conscientious Prjhibitionists re gard those who are suggested by the Prohibition conference tonight in Columbia? Do they believe the candidates suggest ed by that conference c-an lion orably take the pledge that they are not the candidates of a fac tion either publicly or privately suggested? The constitutional pledge has not been changed, and two years ago, Brunson's ticket was pulled down because it had been "s-uggested" in vio lation of the contitution of the Dem-nocratic paty. If Colonel Hoyt is suggested tonight we do not believ-e hex will sign the pledge reqt'i r'd. becatus we - gard himi a v ery conscientious man, and~ we do not see howv any man can sign suchl a pledge who has been suggestod or- nonina - ted by a confer-enco- r onv-Oen 1i1tant il ha beeni sounded in the Kaiiibei' Herald with re ard to a State appropriation for Tiht- E xposition to be held in Char lestol 19l.

We hope the tBamberg Herald's )pposition to a State appropria tion was under a inisapprehtel sion and that upon investigation it will come out and acknowledge its niistake. Baknberg county. although one of the baby coun ties, stands up for proress, as is evidenced by the number of siall industries she supports, and for- her county paper to put her in the moss-back column is not doing her justice. We do not understand how the Prohibitionists can have a Prohibition State Executive Committee, a chairman in each county. hold conventions for county and State. and yet claim to be acting within the Demo cratic party. When the Demo cratic conferences are called all Denocrats are invited to parti cipate, but when the Prohibi I tionists are assembled, only those who declare themselves in favor Of prohibition are invited. The State Democrat ic Executive Coin Iiittee is the head of the party, and aill] other Democratic com mittees are sub-ordinated to it. The State committee not wishing to offend were very lenient two I years ago with the Prohibition ists. and by taking no action I permitted them to have their I eparate organizations. We do lot believe in such a policy, if we are to keel) up the Demo cratic organization the State conmittee must take a positive pos'ition: it it not right to per mit independant organizations within the Democratic organiza tion and it should not be allowed. If our prohibition friends have a major~01ity they.' can elect whomi they pleaise within the par'ty and if they haven't they must sub mit or get out. This thing of claiming to be working in the party, and organizing against the party should be checked.

It is with the greatest pleasure that I take advantage of the columns of vout- paper to indirectly address my iany acquaintances and friends in your community and throughout the county. I say many friends, because I believe there are 'few boys of my age who have mor'e good and true fiends than I have, andl it is a source of joy to me to have theprvilgeofcommunicating in any warwit thm.H-ece this short letter is oley or hepurpose of letting them The localities whlich Iwish to miost Idirectly refer to are those of M1anning. Dvis Station. Jordan and the "Duffyv Old Stand." The first three of these may be taken into one as iny native neighbohood: as the place where my happy boyhood days. guarded over- by loving par'ents. were spent: the place I love best of all lalice. The last, which is down on Santee. is the laice where 1 passed the time of one school ter'm. try ing to promote my own educational standing and inter'esting tmyself in en deavoring to pr'epar'e the children of that section. who had been placed un der' my supervision, to make their future life a success. Therefore I feel that I owe to the above named places a lasting i'emembt'ance: and I do rec ember them. I shall not forget how t h ueople of my community took a firm stan'd in my favor in time of adversities they all knowv what this means). and they shall ever r-eceive my kindest r 1coll'etion for so doing. I shall try to make this letter non sentimental, although it is always hard for mne to write other'wise. It was on the 12th day of April. 1899, that I bade a loving mother. a devoted father and affectionate brother's aud sister's goodbye. 1 was always fond of my home. and it was with some diffi cu'lty that I par'ted therefrom. but there lay at future before me in which I knew' I should be up and doing: theefore it behoov-ed mec to make this depattre, ev-en thotugh it was accomn panied by sadness. n the' following mornilng, Aprlil 13th i arived at Nashville. I took a back at ihe depot and went directly to Dr'aug ns Practical Business ('ollege. whei'e 1i purchashied a scholar'shipl for the comn ined course of bookkeeping. stenogra th tnd ty pewriting in said college. ~o. to go into details from that time uI' t this. it would reqtuire sev'eral is .u- of your' paper,. allowing no sptace for 'tny-tlmg else whatever,. but. of core. 1 shall not write at all in this mnaner: I shall only touc~h on a few getnral points. inmmediately prtoceeded to atccomi plish the purplose for which I had comec. The first of my study wasi dlirected on the bookkeeping cours5e. Ou)tr school was run night and day. that is. from -'lock to 9 o'clock at night, hence wead little or no time for fi'ollicking. IHoever,. we were at liber'tv to stay out' of schooXl whenever we felt so dis pSd. We had steamboat excursions to) nienie. street cars running to the pakis anc imin the things of the k inl ant octina hie I would take opportunities were otfered day at night. so I had the chance of spendiig a few pleasant days in this way and many delightful evening-s. It. is. however, as any one who has attended a college. either literary o'r business. will know. a matter of fact that the question which receives the most serious cOinsiderat ion with a otl1 lvge student is tlie ilnancial question.

At iirst I experienced 011e Very diflictult tasks in tryin to get iy tiial balance at the enild of a mionth , for we took trial balances each month). and te make imy * protit and loss account come out right after a year's active business was more trouhlesome. But time passed on. bookkeeping Ie came mo'e easy. and in the course of a few months I became the possessor of a diploma on this study from the college as befofore mentioned. I suppose. judg ing from the grade marked on my dip loma. and taking into consideration that this college furnishes a very thorough I course of study, that I am now a "pret ty _ood" bookkeeper. However. I have not yet Put this into practice. Immediately after getting my diploma on bookkeeping I took up a study which is not practiced quite so much in our section as bookkeeping. that of short hand. On this study I experienced much less trouble than had been found in the study formerly mentioned. After spending three and one-half months in the shorthand department of the col lege and working in the office of same for one month. I accepted a posi tion as stenographer with the irni of H. W. Forde & Co.. Steel and Iron Factors, this city. After working with this firm for about two months I had the opportunity of getting a better pa)ving plae, so I accepted a position as'stenographer for the Equitable Life Insurance Co.. this city. where I am at the present time. Since completing my tenographic course I have also had the offer of a situation with one of our law yers in Georgetown S. C., but for rea sons not given I declined the offer. I like stenography better than I do book keeping. and expect I will follow this line of work. R. L. JTox.. Nashville Tenn. May 5th. 1900. Story of a Slave.

CATARRH CAN BE CURED BY Johnston's Sarsaparilla QUARTBOTTLES. "DANGER IN THE EARTH AND AIR; DANGER EVERYWHERE.'" A Wise and Venerable Doctr Talks about. Advanced Science. In a leading hotel, in a great city, a famous and aged physician was convers ing. Istening to his wise and sententious discourse, were a group of well dressed men, evidently lawyers, business men and commercial travelers. My firm belief, is " that medical science is certain yet to show .that all dis eases without exception are caused by invisible germs which are iving organ isms. Here is the germ of that terribl disease diphtheria. Here is the bacillus of typhoid fever; andhere is the still more dreadful bacillus of tubercle which causes that most destructive of all diseases, consumption. This of that very common and supposed incurable disease, catarrh." "I wish, Doctor," said the traveling man, "that you would tell us about catarrh. I have had it for years, and I am thoroughly discouraged." The Doctor answered. "Catarrh, like diphtheria, consumption, typhoid fever, and a host of other diseases, is the result of a microbe invading the blood and attacking specially the mucous membrane. This foul and most disgusting disease is especially prevalent in the United States and it is rare to meet one vho is not, or has not been troubled more or less with it. How often is he or she obliged to remain at home frompleasant entertainments, deprive themselves of many intellectual treats, from fear of the disagreeable odor arising from ca tarrhal afections. In its worst phase, the patient becomes loathsome both to himse f and his friends. "I believe," continu ed this great physician, "that the true way to heal ca tarrh is to medicate the blood. This can be done only by powerful alterativcs which act as blood purifiers." Betsy A. Marett, of Manistee, Manistee Co., Mich., writes: Dear Sirs :-For ten years I was a sufferer from general debility and chronic atarrh. My face was pale as death. I was weak and short of breath. I could hardly walk, I was so dizzy and had a ringing in my head all the time. My hands and feet were always cold. My appetite was very poor. On getting up in the morning, my head swam so I was often obliged to lie down again. I had awful pains in the small of my back. 1 had a continual feeling of tiredness. My muscular power was almost entirely gone, and I couldn't go half a dozen steps without stopping to rest, and often that much exercise caused me to have a pain in my side. It seemed as though the blood had left my veins. The doc tors said my blood had all turned to water. I had given up all hope of ever get ting well. I tried the best physicians in the state, but faled to get any relief. My husband got me a bottle of Johnston's Sarsaarilla. I took it, and then I bought another. When these had been used, Iwas somewhat improved in health. I continued its use, and felt I was growing stronger; my sleep was -re rehgad it seemed as if I could feel new blood moving through my veins. I keo aing it, and now consider myself a well and rugged woman. I work all the time, and am happy. I am positive that the Sarsaparilla'saved my life. The sick headaches I have had since childhood, have disappeared, and my ca tarrh has almost entirely left me. I cannot be too thankful for what Johnston's Sarsaparilla has done for me. I recommend all women who have sick head aches to use your Sarsaparilla. Dr. W. M. Brockinton, Manning, S.
