The people shall not be de prived of the full benefit that may be derived from rumors which have been put into circu lation for the purpose of creat ing prejudice against us. We are running a newspaper and it is a part of the work of such an institution to find out what is going on, and finding it out, the people are entitled to share it with us. ' There is much whispering go ing on just now among certain men, about a fearful secret about our political status. Our op ponents have sunk their plumets into the earth, and discovered that "Appelt is an Anti," that, "he sold out to them and it is absolutely necessary that he should be defeated for the Sen ate."_ Why said one who favors one of our opponents, "Appelt used my name in his paper, and now I am oblige to fight him, as the Reform faction cannot afford to let him win." We wish to say that this man who is now trying to draw fac tional lines, was only too glad to get for himself two years ago the vote of the former Conserva tives. He did much catering to them and awfully opposed to anything like factionalism, now however, he is, and very natur ally so, supporting one of our opponents, and to do so he would re-open the old factional sore, to expose it to those whom he thinks he can fool a vote out of against us. When that has no effect, then "Appelt is a Repub lican, and we cannot afford to vote for him and put the State back into the hands of the Re publicans." The idea of a man who has fattened at the public crib ini positions with salary at tachments, insulting the intelli gence of white men with such rot. So far as factionalism is concerned. we are glad that is it an end, and- that men can be elected to office without clinging to the coat-tails of- some popular, idol. The principles of the Re form movement are here to stay, we are as loyal to them as we ever were, but we are heartily sick of a gang of pap-suckers who did nothing for the Reform cause until they wanted to land at the political lunch counter they were not seen or heard from while the battle was thick and fast, but when the smoke clear ed away they could be found going over the field looking for what they could pick up. It was the same way when we were fighting to place in su premacy the white man, these political microbes now infesting the body politic, attempting to cast opprobrium upon our politi -cal loyalty, by whispering about that "A ppelt is a Republican." What nerve? There may be a few men in this county who have *been so unfortunate as to not be able to read and write, who can be fooled by such stuff, but if they will think just two years back, they will come to the conclusion that if "Appelt is a Republican" now, he must have been two years ago when he helped snatch from the burning brands of defeat some who are now questioning his loyalty to the Reform cause and the Democratic party. Ap pelt does not want to be elected as a Reformer or a Conservative, those two things are in the past except with a few pap-suckers, if he cannot be elected upon his merit, and as a true and loyal Democrat, he does want the sup port of the people. Then we are informed that it is being told about. that "Appelt has spent two thousand dollars to buy his election." This is very absurd,but as it is being told and it might be believed by some we herewith state that "Appelt has never in his life ever bought a vote, either with money or whis key. That he does not permit his place of business to become' a hole to dish out liquor for can didates on or before election days,-naor does he sanction any such methods. Appelt has a family to support, and has no money to spend on political dead-beats. But, says another wretch "Appelt paid a party $25 for a certain club and was glad that he got it so cheap." This is false, but if Appelt had bought that club or even a voter,- he would had conscience enough to have paid out good United States money and not fooled anybody with depreciated coin. There is another report that is being circulated, but the nature of it is such, our attorney advises us not to make mention of it in the newspaper at present, but af ter the election is over,the party circulating the report being fin ancially responsible, the matter can be investigated by a jury of twelve men, and should they render a verdict, the amount re covered will be turned into the fund for white schools in the nesses whose characters are beyond question who will, if summoned, tell exactly what was said by the party who was circulating the report. Under the law the man circulating a slander is equally responsible with the originator. Tis bad, wretchedly bad when men must seek office at the ex pense of another's character, but we are not going to be inveighed into a personal collision, as in our judgment we have more at stake for the sake of our friends than to permit our enemies to lead us off. So far as the rumors are con cerned, we care not a snap for them, and we defy those who originate them, we defy the cliques, clans and combinations, whether they be politicians or members of a Trust. We are dependent on the people and claim to be their candidate, and if we cannot be the people's can didate, God knows we do not want to go back to the Senate. We want to assert here and now, that we have not employed a single soul to electioneer for us, nor will we, but we depend entirely upon our friends to be at the pols and see that every ticket is honestly read and count ed and ti-at no frauds are com mitted. WAS IT SO INTENDED t We note a published state ment, with reference to the dis tribution of the "Artificial Limb Fund" which shows the number of beneficiaries in each county. The general assembly made an appropriation of $2000 for the purpose of giving as we sup posed, aid to purchase artificial limbs for those confederate sol diers who were not able to buy these limbs for themselves. In our opinion the lawmakers in tended this fund to be applied in the same manner as the pension fund-to indigent confederate soldiers; we do not believe it was ever intended to give this money to men of means-to men who have grown fat in lucrative of fices, men who have been the recipients of public pap ever since the Democratic party was restored to power. We say we do not believe the lawmakers ever intended that class to take advantage of this benevolent appropriation. What do we find? In Clarendon county only one man on the list of those entitled, and he is a man of considerable property and has held lucrative public positions. He lost an arm in the war, it is true, but if the law was enacted to help in digent persons as we believe it was, whether the language of the Act says so or not, only in digent persons should be the1 beneficiaries. There is at least one other man in the county that lost a leg in the war who is very, very poor, but his name does not appear in the list of those entitled to a part of the appro priation for lost limbs. Why this discrimination? But when we make a close examination of that "Artificial Limb" list, to see who will draw th-is money, we find, the names of R. H. Jen nings, who is drawing a salary of $1,900 a year as State Treas urer, J. W. Floyd another State officer and now a candidate for Congress, J. F. Lyon, holding a very lucrative position in the State Treasurer's office; we can not help but think the gen ral assembly made a grave mis take when it did not make the Act so explicit, that it would have been utterly impossible for these patriots, who are constant ty shaking their empty sleeves : any and all occasions, urging that something be done for the needy confederate soldier, fromn baking advantage of the word ing of the Act to reap benefits themselves and thus lessening the amount which should go to those in need. South Carolina has not done is much for her confederate sol liers as some States, simply be ause of her inability, but she tried with her pension appropri tions, to help the needy ones. and if only the needy were help ad, to $200,000 appropriated would give each of them consid arable aid. But is this fund diis ributed as the law intends? Is there discrimination and pa iality shown? The people know. The pension law is explicit as tc who shall be entitled to the ben afits, but we hear complaints Erom every quarter, that persons are on the pension list who hould not be there, and others are wrongly classed. The Act providing for artifi ial limbs, may not forbid a mil ionaire from drawing pay, but ur contention is, that those who were instrumental in getting thls Act passed, pleaded for this money to aid confederate sol liers to get an arm or a leg so they could go out an earn a livli hood, and we venture to say, Lad they hinted, that such men is those holding high office, or nen of affluence would draw this money, not a cent would have been appropriated, or the Act would have been so worded as to keep these men out. Among the men known to us, whose names appear as having Irawn this money for artificial imbs, not one of them have purchased a limb, nor do we be There is more Catarrh in this section of the ountry than all other diseases put together, d until the last few years was supposed to be ounced it a local disea. and prescribed local 'emedies. and by constantly failing to cure with ocal treatment. pronounced it inurable.

We also have in mind one man in this county who is not so fortu nate as to be on the artificial limb fund list, who lost his leg in the war and is known to every body as one of the poorest men in the county. poor now, and was always so, since the war. He never has held office, is entirely without means, except the pit tance he gets from the pension fund, and yet no provision is made for him to purchase a leg so that he might be able to go out and make a livlihood. Is it just? The Thrust of a Lance is scarcely more agonizing than the re current pains in the abdomen which follow the eating of improper food or too free indulgence in ice-water. The immediate cause of cramps and colic is often the distention of the bowels by gas. Quick relief follows the use of Perry Davis' Painkiller. Careful housekeepers give it the place of honor in the family medicine chest. Senator John L. McLaurin has been offered by President Roosevelt, a Judgeship on the Court of Claims, but the Senator has declined to accept. Now we suppose McLaurin's enemies will find some selfish motive for not accepting a life-time position with a handsome salary attach ed. There are few men in pub lic life who would refuse a life time position paying $5,000 a year. McLaurin may have ad vocated Republican principles we are not quailified to say whether he has or not, but his refusing this juicy political plum, knocks the bottom out of the charge that he sold out for a federal appointment. Need More Help. Often the over-taxed organs of diges tion cry out for help by dyspepsia's pains, nausea, dizziness, headaches, liver complaints, bowel disorders. Such troubles call for prompt use of Dr. King's New Life Pills. They are gen tle, thorough and guaranteed to cure. 25c at The R. B. Loryea Drug Store. Paxville News.

MEET THE HIGH PRICE OF MEAT how Farmers Can Make Money Out o! Cattle. The Best Food Right at Home. What makes the price of beef sC high? The price of anything is higli either because the demand outstrip: the supply, or because of some combi nation of dealers to artificially raise the price. But whether a price is naturally or artificially high, the remedy is the same-greater production on an inde pendent basis. Fortunately for con sumers of beef, and fortunately for the southern farmer, there is no trust or combination that can prevent a most lavish production of beef, if only the way is pointed out. The breeding of cattle on a farm, at lrest in an unsystematic manner, is na:tural and almost spontaneous. But in the absence of some systematic way to follow up the subject, and select the pi n.per animals, and care for them through the winter, and finally prepare them to make fat, tender beef, there i. no proper beef production on the 1::gm. The farmer in the cotton region is cui rounded ,with all the elements to a'e beef raising successful. The clia.: t is such that there is natural fcr:,; most of the year. It requires just a little forethought to provide fo the few winter months. The mate rial-cheap material-is always at hand. cotton seed meal and cotton seed hul.s. The meal and hulls are offered just as you want them by the Southern Cotton Oil company, of the Carolinas and Georgia, and may be bought at any of the local mills or from head quar:ers at Columbia, S. C., Atlanta, Ga.. Savannt.h, Ga., or Charlotte, N. C. Mixed in the proper proportion, this makes the most nutritious and ac ceptable feed that is now available. It is a feed, which by varying the propor tions will answer equally well for a sustaining ration or for a fattening ration. It contains all the ingredients of nutrition, namely, fat, nitrogen and carbohydrates. The cotton seed meal contains fat and nitrogen and the hull contains carbohydrates. A good sustaining ration is made up of 24 pounds of hulls and 4 pounds of meal per day, and a good fattening ration is 20 pounds of hulls and 5 pounds of meal. These proportions In both cases must be varied to suit in dividual cases, according to the con dition and taste of the animal. In fattening cattle, the ration should be gin with more hulls and less meal and the proportion of meal gradually in creased. A steer may be fattdned and put in good condition for the market on 400 pounds of cotton seed meal and one ton of hulls. At average prices, the cost of this feed in the southern States would be about $9.00. There is great profit in fattening beef for the market, even at ordinary prices, but at present the industry should prove unusually attractive. The following estimate of the profit that can easily be made in this business is taken from a book which has been carefully prepared on this subject, "Cotton and Cotton Oil," by D. A. Tompkins.

STOCKTON'S KIND HEART. The Author's Profound Respect For the Feelings of Others. In the old days when Frank RI. Stockton was my associate in editing Hearth and Home he invented or cre ated a Marcus Aurelius of his own In the person of an imaginary office boy. Every week he would fill a column or two with a grotesque account of the doings and sayings of his fictitious Marcus Aurelius. At last the worm turned. Our actual office boy, a youth of unusual seriousness, requested him to stop the Marcus Aurelius humor. "So you have taken it seriously?" asked Mr. Stockton. "Well, you see, all my friends laugh at mue about it, and it hurts," answered the office boy. "I am sorry," said Mr. Stockton. "You are a good, honest and faithful office boy. I had no thought of hurting your feelings, and I shall write no more about Marcus Aurelius." Here was an indication of the rare character of the man. His respect for the feelings of others was profound. His tenderness toward them was a most lovable characteristic of the man. It ran through all his conduct. He nev er willingly or knowingly hurt the feel ngs of any human being, for the rea son that his soul was filled with an abounding charity and love for all his fellow men.-George Cary Eggle'ston in Collier's Weekly.

This treacherous disease dwarfs the body and hinders the growth and development of the faculties, and the child born of blood poison, or scrofula-tainted parentage, is poorly equipped for life's duties. Scrofula is a disease with numerous and varied symptoms ; enlarged glands or tumors about the neck and armpits, catarrh of the head, weak eyes and dreadful skin eruptions upon different parts of the body show the presence of tubercular or serofulous matter in the blood. This dangerous and stealthy disease entrenches itself securely in the system and attacks the bones and tissues, destroys the red corpuscles of the blood, resulting in white swelling, a pallid, waxy appearance of the skin, loss of strength and a gradual wasting away of the body.
