"W1-e wud," said Mr. Dooley, "if we cud but get an illegible candydate." "What's that?" asked Mr. 1 Efennessy. - "An illegible candydate" Mr. Dooley, "is a candydate that :-an't be read out iv th' party. Tis a joke I med up. Me frind Willum J.

Ye say Hill? c Well, me frind Willum J. was ast to ask me frind David Bin- a nitt to go out f'r to make a speech 3 at a dimmycratic bankit on th' traditions iv th' dimmycratic 1 party, Hill bein' wan iv thim an' on iv th' worst.

'Moreover' he says, 'if ye sk him I'll take me meal at t home' he says, 'f-r th' sight of t that gallant dimmycrat turns me e Er'm food,'he says. So that ends b ill.

I noticed in your last issue that [r. Henry Johnson, a notable farmer Tom this section had to say about is cotton shedding. It may be that e did not use nitrate of soda ira me to stop that shedding, I think~ he had he would have corrected be trouble. I desire to correct, through a fault f mine, a misunderstanding about ie complaint of the tobacco market t Manning. My letter could have een construed to mean that all o1 bose engaged in the warehouse bus ess are to blame for a majority 01 Te farmers of this section taking the roduct elsewnere. I should have cepted Mr. Charles M. Mason and is warehouse. I believe the people re satisfied Ethat he is doing al] e can to build up a market for [anning and if any tobacco is run f it is not because he makes those 'ho sell on his floor " tote " an order the store. Mason pays off in bank becks or the cash right in his office nd he treats everybody alike. ] ke to carry my tobacco to Manning, ut I will tell you that if you give a og a bad name you might as well ill him, and the Manning market as been given a-bad name this year. lhy, it is renorted over here that a spectable white man sold his to acco, was given an order, and the ash was refused him, claiming that e owed an old debt. The man ap ealed to the magistrate at Manning efore he could get his money. Now o know, Mr. Editor, a trick of this >rt might be wcrked off on an igno int nigger, but white people will ot submit to it. Judge Windham has cried out too uick, for the cap that he fitted to imself was not his. He says he has Lie writer spotted and wonders what e will do wvhen his appetite is good nd sharp. There is nothing to won er at about that, the Judge will imply eat to his appetite's content, st as all of those court house chaps o when they get to a Salem picnic, nd the doctors will be of more ser ice than Glenn springs. I see where Governor McSweeney as granted a pardon to Colonel eal, regardless of judges, jurors, te. Had Neal been a poor man he iight have been imprisoned for life. our editorial about the Governor's otion in this mertter I disagree with. sually you are correct, but in this atter I think you are mistaken,but -hat you did fo:: Mr. Traxler of Tim tonsville was a plenty, and if I was m I should not attempt to act in a presentative capacity again, I ould ask my people to delegate a wiser head." I hope Mr. (Gantt will continue riting his "Appeal to Reason." I ave received more information from is letters than from any other urce on national issues, and I ould advise everybody to read aem carefully. I was sorry to see that Senator 'illman got a cinder in his eye and I ope he will soon be well again. I ot a piece of lightwood splinter in ty eye once and there was not a 'ord snai aot it by ihe newsa-a T'S LIVER AND I , KIDNEYS and BLOC and 50 cents at your Drug pers, but when the Senator met with his misfortune all of the big newspa pers went on their heads about it, and sent special reporters to watch the progress of his wound. I do de spise this sickening toadying. The political aggregation must have been much surprised at the Anderson meeting when Senator Mc G Laurin rolled in on them while they were charging him with running from them, and although the News and Courier's account shbwed that McLaurin had many friends in the - crowd, the headline writer did his . best to weaken the force of the re port by misleading headlines sand wiched in between paragraphs. I should like very much for a meeting to be arranged so that Senators Till i man and McLaurin could discuss these great national issues without any time limit, and if some of our public men would get up an invita tion for a joint debate between these two I believe good will result from it. I do not think it fair for a crowd of opponents to pounce down on one P man, and if such must be, the one man should be allowed to open the debate and close with a reply to the whole aggregation. I read your pointed questions to Col. R. D. Lee of Sumter, published in the News and Courier, and I have also read his reply, or rather what is given as his reply. If our Senator hasn't put the celebrated lawyer in a hole then I'll be switched. Just as soon as I read your questions I said "old Ap." has got after a mighty sharp fellow, but from the questions asked Lee is in bad shape to make much of a reply. His reply verified my opinion, for he stammered out a lot of stuff that was not asked him, like the coon who sang " Mr. John sing turn me loose, I'se got no money but a good excuse." "B." Chamberlain's Cough Remedy a Great Favorite. The soothing and healing properties of this remedy, its pleasant taste and prompt and per manent cures ht.ve made it a great favorite with people everywhere. It is especially prized by mothers of sma.l children for colds, croup and whooping cough, as it always affords quick re lief, and as it coatains no opium or other harm ful drug, it may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult.

During the Summer Season cramps come upon us suddenly and remnain until the pain is driven away by a dose or two of PAIN-KILLER, the celebrated cure for all summer complaints, from simple cramps to the most aggravated forms of cholera morbus or dysentery. No household should be without the Pain Killer. Avoid substitutes, tnere is but one Pain-Killer, Perry Davis'. 25c. and 50c. soapsnds Dessert. The tribes on the coast of British Co lumbia hold a festival In the autumn, the crowning Item of which Is the par taking of a few spoonfuls of a bowl of soapsuds. They gather In the dingy huts, which are hung with the staple food-dried salmon. For light they stick Into the ground, head downward, a silvery fish about five Inches long, set fire to the tail, and they have a torch, for the fish burns steadily. After eating of various unsavory foods there comes the great treat. This is a bowl of a frothy, soapy mixture, obtained by crushing in a not overclean manner the sapoliti, or soap berries, and squeezing out the juice. This is as much like soapsuds as it is possible to conceive. The natives sIp It, from spoons of blacle wood, neatly carved, of which they think a great deal. 'The Chinman's Dress. Those who understand the subject have to admit that when It comes to the question of rational dress the Chi naman has very much the best of It. American clothes are not made for the performance of much stooping or do mestic gymnastics, but the Chinaman, in his loose, easy fitting clothes, Is as free to stoop, jump, run or turn hand springs as a small boy in bathing. In a Chinese suit of clothes you can lie down and sleep with the same amount of comfort that you can stand up and walk. Comet. of the Past Century. During the nineteenth century 235 new comets were discovered as against 02 in the eighteenth century. The nineteenth century also beheld a great er number of large and brilliant com ets than did its predecessor. The finest of these were the comets of 1811, 1843, 1858, 1881 and 1882. In the year 1800 only one periodical comet was knowu, Halley's. Now many are known, of which at least 17 have been seen at more than one return to perihelion Bound to Enjoy Herself. "Now, dear," said mamma, giving final Instructions to Elsie, who Is going to take tea with a playmate, "when you are asked if you will have somethin~g, you must say, 'Yes, thank you,' and if you don't want It you must say" "Oh, you needn't bother about that," Elsie interrupted. "I don't expect to refuse anything."-Philadelphia Pr-ess. Two Faced Babies. "Not that deceit is a born Instinct, but some babies must be itwo faced in the cradle." "Oh, that's not possible." "I don't know. I know a child that looks like its rich aunt when she connes on a visit and is the exact Image of its rich uncle when he happens to be there."-xchange. No Dif~culty. Phillips Brooks once gave a new ver sion of the Jonah story to a wondering skeptic, who said he doubted whether a whale's throat was large enough to' swallow Jonah. "There was no diffi clty," said the bishop; "Jonah was one of the minor nronhets" .-. ILDOD SYRUP D. Try it. ist. Influenza. It is very well known that the in fluenza is not an exclusively modern complaint, but I am not sure whether a curious reference to it by Bower, the continuator of Fordun's chronicle, has been noted. Writing of the year 1420 he says that among those who died in Scotland that year were Sir Henry St. Clair, earl of Orkney; Sir James Doug las of Dalkeith, Sir William de Aber nethy, Sir William de St. Clair, Sir Wil liam Cockburn and many others, all by "that infirmity whereby not only great men, but ihnumerable quantity of the commonalty, perished, which was vul garly termed le Quhew (le Quhew a vurgaribus dicebatur]" '(Bower, xv, 32.) Now, "quh" in Scottish texts usu ally represents the sound of "wh" (properly aspirated.) Therefore it seems that in the fifteenth century the influenza was known as "the whew," just as it is known in the twentieth century as "the flue." I have refrained from quoting at length Bower's explanation of the cause of the epidemic, but there seems little doubt that the disease was iden tical with that with which we are so grievously familiar. - Notes and Que ries. Barometric Bees. Whoever observes these interesting insepts finds it easy enough to foretell exactly the kind of weather to be ex pected. At least this is the ;opinion of many raisers of bees. Generally the bee stays at home when rain is in the air. When the sky is simply dark and cloudy, these busy workers do notileave their dwelling all at once. A few go out first, as though the queen had sent out messengers to study the state-of the atmosphere. The greater number remain on observation until the clouds begin to dissipate, and it is only then - that the battalions en tire rush out in search of their nectar. A bee never goes out in a fog, because it is well aware that dampness and cold are two fearsome, redoubtable enemies. We do not mean, however, that the bee is a meteorologist in the absolute sense of the word. Its clever ness consists in never being taken un awares, for it possesses untiring vigi lance. Often one may observe the sud den entrance of bees into the hive when a dense cloud hides the sun and even though the rain is not in evidence. -St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Changea Times. Times have changed indeed from the time when Sydney Smith complacently observed that the United States had so much wilderness clearing to do that it might well take its literature, learn ing and luxury in the bulk from Eng lish factories. . "Why," he had asked, "should the Americans write books when a six weeks' passage brings them, in their. own tongue, our sense, science and gen Is in bales and hogsheads? Prairies, steamboats, gristmllls, are their nat ural objects for centuries to come." We might almost reverse this and ask, "Why should the English feel ill at ease when a six days' passage brings them our sense, science and genius?' For the time at least the Rev. Syd ney Smith's chief notoriety seems to be that he was the author of certain observations whose truthfulness has proved as brief as it was bitter.-Har per's Weekly. The Irishmsn's Request. In the .days when flogging was in vogue as a punishment in the British navy a Scotchman and an Irishman, on the arrival of their ship In harbor, ob tained leave to go ashore for a couple days, and they overstaid the period.of leave granted them. When they did put in an appearance, they were order ed 50 lashes each. ' On the day of the punishment a parade was -ordered to witness the infliction of the flogging. When all was ready, the Scotchman asked as a favor to be allowed a piece of canvas on his back while he receiv ed his flogging. The captain grunted his request and, turning to the Irish man, asked him if he required any thing on his back while he was being flogged, to which he replied, "If ye plaze, yer honor, I.d loike to have the Scotchman on my back, if ye wouldn't mind." It Was His Deal. A mining engineer who has returned from Alaska brings, among other inter esting things, evidence that the higher the latitude the greater the latitude. Watching a poker game in *vhich the stakes were heavy he saw a player give himself four aces from the bottom of the pack. Burning with indignation at such shameless cheating, he turned to a by stander and whispered, "Did you see that?' "See what?" "Why, that fellow dealt himself four aces!" "Well, wasn't it his deal?' Why We Bathe. Professor Vivian Lewes, at the Lon don institution, recently furnished the following answer to the question, "Why do we bathe?" Twenty-eight miles of sweat'glands in our skin are discharging 26 ounces of water per day and leaving upon the outer surface of the skin a full ounce of solid matter. These are aided by the oil glands of the hair, which facilitate the adherence of external dirt. Hence the refreshing character of the morning bath and the necessity for grease absorbing alkalies In soap.____ ___ Softening the Parting. Twelve was on the point of striking. "To think," cried the fair girl in an guish, "we will never see each other. again till tomorrow night!" "Bear up, sweet ene!" was his en couraging remark. "Time will pass.

Poison Oall, Pison IVg. are among the best known of the many dangerous wild plants and shrubs. To touch or handle them quicklyproduces swelling and inflammation with in tense itching and burning of the skin. The eruption i soon disappears, the suf ferer hopes forever; but almost as soon as the little blisters ani pustules appeared the poison had reached the blood, and will break out at regula: intervals and each time in a more aggra vated form. This poison will loiter in th< system for years, and every atom of i1 must be forced out of the blood before yot can expect a perfect, permanent cure. Nature's Antidoh ss FOR Nature's Poiseas, is the only cure for Poison Oak, Poisox Ivy, and all noxious plants. It is com posed exclusively of roots and herbs. Non is the time to get the poison out of you system, as delay makes your condition worse. Don't experiment longer with salves,washes and soaps-they never cure, Mr. S. M. Marshall, bookkeeper of the Atlanti (Ga.)j Gas Light Co., was poisoned with Poison Ok. He. took Sulphur Arsenic and varion other drugs, and applied] externally numeron lotions and salves with no benefit. At times the swelling and inflammation was so severe he war almt blind For eight years theyoisou woul break out every season. His condition was mudt Imroved after taking one bottle of S.S.S.. and afw bottles cleared his blood of the poison, and all evidences of the disease disappeared. People are often poisoned withoui knowing when or how. Explain your case fully to our physicians, and -they will cheerfully give such information and ad. vice as you require, without charge, and we will send at the same time an interest ing book on Blood and f kin Diseases.
