N.W.. twashifl :oa U. e. TIMES ARE CHANGING. The times and everything else-is undergoing a change. A few years ago, if a white man in the South expressed views con trary to those promilgated by party leaders, that man was re garded with suspicion and dis trust. Why? Because condi tions in the South made it an absolute necessity for white men to stand solidly together that our social body might not become contaminated. In other words "white supremacy" had to be preserved, and such is the con dition today, and will continue to be, until we have reached a point when there will be no dan ger of an appeal to the other race. If Congress cuts down the South's representation that ac tion will eliminate the negro from politics, and politicians whose stock-in-trade is the "nig ger-in-the-wood-pile," will not longer be able to hold up that scare-crow; whenever an editor expresses convictions of politi cal policy that sniveling politi cians disagree with, and pro nounce heresy, the fear of an appeal to the negro will no lon ger exist, and white men can di vide on the issues, and thereby exercise that constitutional right as was intended by the framers of this gov erment when they affixed their signatures to the declaration of independence. We are not sure which is best for the South, to hold our pres ent numbers in Congress and re main political nonenities, chain ed to a condition which makes us as servile to politicians as are the serfs of Russia to the Czar's favorites, or to join in with those who want to cut down our rep resentation and eliminate the negro vote. If this vote is elimn inated it will no longer be a menace to us and our institutions and we, by dividing on issues will become as important a fac tor in National politics as are the Eastern States. Were it not for the fear of making the negro a factor in politics, a party organization in the South which would throw its electoral vote for the National ticket offering the best induce ments could be had, and make itself felt in the nation. We have been clinging to the name Democracy because it was not being supported by the Repub licans, but the fact is, we were voting to keep the white man in control without giving the prin ciples of either party considera tion. The Northprn Democracy has time and again- proved faith less to the South, but on account of our environments we continue permitting ourselves to be the "under dog" and letting our op ponents reap the rewards. If Congress does not eliminate the negro vote, our only hope then, will be to continue holding our State governments as we are doing now, and casting our elec toral vote for the party which will do the most for the South. In the last election the South stood solid and true, but where was the North States? Not one of them that amounted to any thing did a thing, but throw their electoral vote to McKinley, because they believed the Re publican party gave promise of benefit to the North. The voter at the North votes according to what he considers his business interests. He studies the prin ciples enunciated in the party platforms and makes his choice like an intelligent man should do. He is not hampered with a fear of negro domination nor is he tied to any political party. Carl Schurz in 1896 advocated the election of McKinley, be cause he favored that candidate's financial policy, in 1900 he op posed McKinley and supp~orted Bryan, because he* ( pposed~ the administration's inter-national policy. Schurz represents an element that will always be in-I fluential in national affairs, be cause both parties will strive to secure their support. This in ideal condition which will come to the South whenever there is no danger of the negro being a menace to white supremacy. Catarrh Cannot be Cured with LOCAL APPLICAIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease. and in order to cure it you must take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken interna::y.and acts direct ly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years. and is a regular prescription. It is composed of the iest toynies known. com bined with the best blood puritiers. acting di rectly on the mt:cous surfaces. The perfect combination of the two ingredients is what pro Quce' such wo:aierful~ results in cuaring Catarrh. i nd fr oc. i. nials free. .. Il IEN E & C'0.. Props.. Toledo.

A horrible massacre of mis sionaries and converts, is report ed to have taken place in Shan Hi, China. The despatch says that the Governor of the prov ince invited a Catholic Bishop, his coadjutators and four foreign priests to his house for protec tion and then murdered them with his own hand, other otro cites such as killing women and orphan children are reported in the same despatch. How to Cure Croup. Mr. R. Gray, who lives hear Amenia, Duchess county. N. 'Y., says: '-Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the best medicine I have ever used. It is a fine children's remedy for croup and never fails to cure." When given as soon as the child becom's hoarse, or even after the croupy cough has developed, it will prevent the attack. This should be borne in mind and a bottle of the Cough Remedy kept at hand ready for instant use as soon as these symptoms ap pear. For sale by The R. B. Loryea Drug Store. Isaac M. Loryea. Prop. Senator's Tillman and Mc Laurin are in Washington tak ing active steps towards trying to secure a large appropriation for the Charleston exposition. Senator McLauriin in speaking of ~the exposition said: "The exposition is not only of great advantage to Charleston, but it will en able the rest of the country to see the remarkable strides made in manufac turing, not only throughout South Carolina,but all of the coast line States." He has received requests from the bus iness interests in all the leading cities and towns in the State to exert his in fluence in behalf of the Charleston event, and he is already applying his influence at points where it will do the most good. Many persons have had the exper ience of Mr. Reter Sherman, of North Stratford, N. H., who says, "For years I suffered tortt~ re from chronic indi gestion, but Kodol Dyspepsia Cure made a well man of me." It digests what you eat and is a certain cure for dys pepsia and every from of stomach trou ble. It gives relief at once even in the worst cases, and can't help but do you good. The R. B. Loryea Drug Store, Isaac M. Loryea, Prop. Among the numerous bills that will be presented to the coming General Assembly will be a re newed effort to push through what is known as the "wide tire" bill. This bill has been intro duced at every session for sev eral years and so far, it has fail ed of passage by narrow mar gins. The Assembly is now made up largely of new members and we have no way of ascer taining what the sentiment is among them, nevertheless, we see no need for such a bill, nor :do we believe if the bill passes, will it hold in the courts. It strikes us that a law forcing peo ple to adopt a certain width of wheel is not only tyrannical, but is in the interest of the wagon manufactures who may now be in a combination. If the wide tire wheels are more economical than narrow tires the p~eople themselves will realize it without: being forced to do so by law. Tile argument pressing the enact ment of wide tire legislation is for the bettering of the roads. "'Brevity is the - Soul of WT" Wit is 'wsdom. Blood is life. impure blood is living death. Health depcnds on good blood. Disease is due to bad blood. T helood can be p::r ;ied. Legions say Hood's Saru.'pari a, L.mer ica's Greatest Blood Medicine, purifies if. A brief s.ory but it tees the talc. be built up with wagon wheels no matter how wide they are. If the roads are to be built up shovels and picks are the tools to work with and not. wagon tires. The past two sessions the writer opposed the wide tire legislation, and if the matter comes up in the coming session he will be found with the oppo sition again, because he does not think the legislature has any more of a moral right to trample on the rights of the people than an individual has, and when it undertakes to measure the width of the tire to a man's wagon it is carrying power beyond the rights promised in a free country. Question Answered. Yes, August Flower still has the lar gest sale of any medicine in the civil ized world. Your mothers and grand mothers never thought of using any thing else for Indigestion or Bilious ness. Doctors were scarce and they seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous Prostration 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 liver, 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 isfied there is nothing serious the mat ter with you. For sale by the R. B. Loryea Drug Store, Isaac M. Loryea, Propr. a The Cosmographic Company of New York has recently secured a statement from Senator Till man, giving his views on the future of the Democratic party. The Senator does not think a re organization needed. that "Bry anism will either triumph in the end or the republic is doomed." The Senator attributes Bryan's defeat to the voters being "con tent to let well enough alone, having an eye solely to the busi ness aspect rather than the un derlying principles involved in the contest." The Senator hits the nail on the head when he says the voters were "content to let well enough alone." For a number of years a financial de pression hung over the country like a pall, and instead of there coming a rift in the cloud when a Democratic administration came into power, the depression became more intense and values went below the cost of produc tion. A change came shortly after McKinley came into power; whether his administration mer its the praise, or the course of nature, we are unable to say, but the change lifted the black cloud and values went up, produce of every character brought profita ble prices, labor was plentiful, mines, mills and other wage paying institutions oiled up their machinery and went to work; the scene shifted from a stand still dilapidation, to hustle and bustle. The election came on during this prosperous state of affairs and we do not wonder at the masses being unwilling to "swap in the middle of the stream"; they could feel and see the ef fects of a prosperous condition, and this was more of a convinc ing argument than was the fine spun oratory of those who will not realize the fact that this country is advancing in thought and progress and,that the people prefer things practicable to things theoretical. It is all very well, with dramatic gesture, to say "Like Nelson at Trafalgar, let us nail the colors to the mast head and fight until the victory is ours," but the people who have more at stake than politi cians are not so apt in this prac tical age, to be swept away by theoretical figures; what they want is work and good prices for the products of their toil.

A man smiles when you speak of his level head, but call it flat and he gets mad. No one can reasonably hope for good health unless his bowels move once each day.
