OF NEBRASKA. For Vice-Presidet: ADLAI E. STEVENSON, OF ILLINOIS. CLARENDON AND KERSHAW JOINED. It was our pleasure on last Thursday to accept an invita tion to go over the new portion of the North West ern railroad just completed by Captain Thomas Wilson, be tween Sumter and Camden. We went up to Sumter on the regu lar train and immediately a party composed of Governor McSween ey, Commissioner W. D. Evans, Dr. Henry J. McLaurin, R. O. Purdy Esq., Col. J. F. Laughery, Editor H. G. Osteen, Captain Thomas Wilson and Louis Ap pelt, left Sumter in a private car for Camden: at Rembert we were joined by that genial gentleman Mr. Ed. E. Rembert. Arriving at Camden? instead of finding an old quaint villiage as we expect ed, we found an-to-date progres sive town, with all the appear ances of a great future. The people greeted us with that cor dialty characteristic of Caroli nians, and for which the people of Camden have become so fam ous, that northern tourists have become attracted thereby, and every winter there are crowds of wealthy pleasure srekers drawn hither tco hold social communion with the Camdenites. Captain Wil son's road, seventy one miles long fi-om Wilson's on the cen tra), of S. C., to Camden, bids fair to become one of the most important roads iir the State. It traverses a magnif cient country, from Sumter to Camden, the lands are peculiarly adapted to the growing of fruits, grapes and vegetables, with a climate un surpassed for certainty. We are told that such a thing as a failure in the fruit crop in that section is unknow n, and the peaches grown there, are even more highly' flavored than the cele brated "Delaware's," and the grapes equal those which come from the vintages of California. We expect to see as a result of Captain Wilson's enterprise, a new section of South Carolina developed. The road is nearly as air line. the few curves upon it show high engineering skill, and the sched ule arranged gives both Sumter and Camden fine facilities for trade. Camden has a population of about 5000, with several facto ries, four railroads, and some of the haidsomest stores in the State, a drive around the "city" convinced us that the progres sive spirit has come to stay, and "old fogyism" has been driven out. We remained in Camden about three hours and enjoyed our stay, we' met several acquaint ances, and made new ones: it is said you must go away from home to get the news. and we found this to be so; in a conver sation with a gentleman, he in formed us that Clarendon is about to lose the citzenship of Captain A. M. Brailsford who is about to move to Camden, and that Mrs. Williams who was Miss Ellen Manning had the misfor tune to fall and fracture one of her limbs. On our return trip, dinner was served on thecar, and the entire party went into ecstacv's over Jerry's roast beef. Dr. McLau ri, who has traveled much, and of course, eaten much declared a number of times that it was the most delicious beef he had ever eaten. The trip bac-k was turn ed over to Dr. McLauren to in spect the road, as Commissioner Evans did that part of the wor-k going, and when Sumter was reached both inspectors decided, the road to be in fine condition, and should be received, but the rest of the party dissented from this view, regarding it a hasty conclusion. and wanted the trip to be made over again. T will be remembeed tha when Captain Wilson was pros pecting for this road, his propo sitions were regarded by some people in Sumter as a bluff; they did not know the man, for when he attempts to do a thing, it is done, and success always crowns his efforts. For many years a road was being built on paper, and when Wilson camte upon the ground, opposition sprung up he reminded those people that a road on paper and one on cross ties were two different kinds of roads, and the Wilson road was to be one of the cross-tie kind, they have it now. and we wish for it abundant prosperity. PREACHERS AND POLITICS. The Abbeville Medium having re marked that "Senator Appelt. editor of THE MANNING TIMES. has given some good advice to political preach ers" and that it is "not probable that his advice will be taken" by them, the Chester Lantern comments that "it certainly will not be taken by a preach er who has any regard for his duty. Senator Appelt is not the kind of Chris tiau they look to for advice." We don't know what kind of Christian Senator Appelt is, but he is probably as good a Christian as Senator Tillman. whose advice on the liquor question a number of preachers seem to have taken.-Co lumbia State. Senator Appelt has never made any professions of Christianity, but he is willing that his piety be measured with that of Signor Gonzales, editor of The State, and he is also willing to take his chances with that class of pro fessing Christians who preach "Love thy neighbor," and then advise a spirit of revenge when "thy brother" has given them offense or thwarted +hem in their political aspirations. Senator Appelt has a sacred regard for ministers of whatever creed, but his regard for political preachers is the same as for any other class of politicians. They are estimated according to the number of votes they can pull. Brother Gonzales may be able to sing "Onward, Christian Sol diers," but when it comes to judging of another's Christian ity, Signor Gonzales "is not the kind of a Christian to look to for advice," and we doubt very much if the editor of The Chester Lan tern really knows the meaning of Christianity. Bryan's reception in New York was the largest political demon stration ever seen in that city, and it sent a cold chill down the backs of the Republican leaders. Hanna got so wild - ,h anger that he permitted his temper to break lose at Lincoln, Bryan's home, and Teddy Roosevelt took flight to Washington to consult with McKinley. There is no doubt about it, Bryan has got em scared. Cotton keeps a tumbling, and we believe the market will re main unsettled until after the election, and then there is no tlling which way the specula tors ill swing the pendulum. As long as the impression re mains that cotton is being held by the producers, just so long will the price stay down, but as suon as the speculators become convinced that the product is out of the hands of the farmers, then will the tug of war begin among the speculators, and whichever side is strongest, that side will control the price. Hon. John Shernian of Ohio, died last Monday morning in the city of Washington. Mr. Sher man, was one of the most con spicuous figures in National leg islation since the days of Calhoun Webster and Clay. His public career has been long and ardu ous. He represented his dis trict in the lower house, and for many years his State in the Senate, it was here where his ability made itself felt. He was the author of the much discussed "Sherman bill" which demonet ized silver and put .the "money of the fathers" below the gold parity. Sherman was Secretary of State under Harrison. He was regarded in this and foreign countries as one of the ablest figures in financial legislation of the age. Captain Claude Sawyer, in ser vice in the Philippines, writes a letter to Senator McLaurin in which he endorses President Mc Kinley's policy and criticises the Democrats for giving encourage ment to the Filipinos to con tinue their warfare. Sawyer is a South Carolinian and when the Spanish-American war broke out he resigned his position as solic itor and went into the army. He has always been prominent in his section of the State and re garded a very earnest and sin cere man. Since writing the let ter which has been published throughout the Union and used as a campaign document by Can didate Roosevelt, the Columbia IState has been quite severe in its criticisms of Captain Sawyer, tions against Senator McLaurin. Sawyer is in the Philippines and writes from personal knowledge; Gonzales is in Columbia and writes from personal prejudice. That's the difference. For several years past it has been the practice for the voters to regard the primary the elec tion, and when the- general elec tion came on the vote was light. This was very well so long as the North was satisfied with having 'things her own way in Congress, but now that her influence is gradually diminishing she wants to cling to her control by reduc ing the representation in the South. Among the reasons given for the cutting down of our rep resentation is the small vote cast in the elections. Our readers will see the necessity for turning out on the 6th, day of November and casting a full vote. South Carolina voted in the primary about 93,000 votes, and this was confined to the white voters, with the colored vote we should poll a great many more. Every man should turn out and vote, nut because there is any danger to the nominees, but it is necessary to keep our rep resentation in Congress. The New York Herald predicts a landslide for McKinley, giving him 282 votes and Bryan 165. The Herald in politics is Inde pendent, with Republican lean ings. In other words The Her ald is usually with Wail street's magnates. It claims that Mc Kinley will carry every State he carried four years ago, except Kentucky, and make a gain of eleven votes in the electoral col lege. The Herald may know whereof it speaks, and it has a fine ser vice for getting information, but we do not see how it can place much confidence in its own fig ures, if it reads the Columbia State, whose editor knows more than The Herald's information giving-service can find out; how ever, we are inclined to believe The Herald is doing a little blow ing to please its patron saints on Wall street. Bryan has got the Republicans on the run; he is " jabbing dem in de slats" on every turn and if he does not win he will keep Mark and Ted dy guessing until after the elec tion returns come in. An old hayseed once was charged with horse stealing and the jury convicted him of big amy. When he called his law yer's attention to the mistake, the lawyer, knowing that his client would get a lighter sen tence, told him to be quiet, "there's no accounting for the verdict of a jury." The Republicans are depend ing on being in possession of the election machinery and the money bags, but if they do not mind, the jury, who are the peo ple, may give them a verdict that will surprise them.

One day last winter a lady came to my drug store and asked for a brand of cough medicine that I did not- have in stock." says Mr. C. R. Grandin. the popular druggist of Ontario. N. Y. --She was disappointed and wanted to know what cough preparation I could recommend. I said to her that I could freely recommend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and that she could take a bottle of the remedy and after giv ing it a fair trial if she did not find it worth the money to bring back the bottle and I would re fund the price paid. In the course of a day or two the lady came back in company with a friend in need of a cough medicine and advised her to buy a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I consider that a very good recom mendation for the remedy." It is for sale by The R. B. Loryea Drug Store, Isaac M. Loryea. Prop. Irregular honesty is harder to manage than regular dishonesty.
