The News and Courier of Monday undertakes to heal in advance the sore which will be made by McLaurin as "a thorn in Tillman's flesh." and endea vors to blow icily, on the senti ment changing in McLaurin's favor. We expressed an opin ion, after coming in contact with people from different parts of the State, who are not cring ing at the feet of the political king for favors, nor are they. to be misled any longer by politi cal monte-banks. The News and Courier might not "have observed any marked symptoms of distress among the Tillman ites in favor of McLaurin," but that is not at all surprising, for it is a famous fact that many things happen long before the News and Courier finds "any marked symptoms of" it. The people may not select McLaurin as their leader in the future, but we believe they will accept many of the views which he has advocated, and for which he is now being condemned. It would not surprise us to see the News and Courier advocating McLaurin's views, all it needs to steer it in that direction, is for Senator Tillman to indicate the change of heart; if Mr. Tillman will take a pinch of snuff the News and Courier will do the sneezing, with both hands held out for favors. So far as McLaurin is con cerned, we have no idea what he proposes to do, and we doubt very much if he has determined that matter himself, but we are satisfied, the people of South Carolina are more independent in their political ideas than they used to be, and the day for demagogues has nearly passed away. We therefore believe by 1096 the people will be well in , formed upon national questions, and they will have by that time learned, whether it is to their 'interests to secure help from the government by the wielding of a pitchfork single handed and alone, which can only throw up a lot of offensive dust, or by elo quence,reason, and, co-operation whereby our people will be put on the same plane with those of the present favored sections. The cringing policy adopted by former enemies of Tillman will not create much confidence, as "fawning that thrift may fol low'' is patent. The position of the News and Courier with regard to Tillmnan is a source of merriment for such, writers as Nathen Beeswax; they can in their own inimitable style point ont the humoreof the thing, and show just how Tillman and the people are being fooled into the belief that Charleston's morning (glory) newspaper is now a Tillmanite of Tillmanites, and, let come what will, it will throw barriers in the way of * any man or set of men who un dertake, to question their patron saint's right away to a life-time job in the senate of the United States. Our contemporary will admit "while there are numbers of persons in South Carolina who could stand the smashing of this particular idol without serious distress; they would probably like to have some choice in the selection of the smashing agent". We do not doubt this risky admission at all; the people will "have a choice in the selection of the smashing agent," and the first step in this direction is to smash the idea that to be of political force one must do the bidding of some ar rogant leader. We never did say McLaurin would be subsi tuted for Tillman, but if McLa'u rin remains in the State, and we have no reason to think he ex pects to do etherwise, and by his course shows the people, that he has been misrepresented by political bunco-steerers, aided by certain newspapers who would not recognize political princi - ples unless they were printed on the backs of gold certificates, then we believe the people might be willing to subsitute McLaurin for Tillman. The people of South Carolina are brave and honest; they may be deceived once, but they will not stay de ceived. If an injustice has been done, it will be remedied. As an example of how South Caro-' linians remedy wrongs, take the convention of 1880 which was called to send delegates to a nat ional convention, instead of the machine stopping with the busi ness delegated,nominations were! made, and this snap-judgement was the seed sown which made it possible for Tillman as the instru ment of the people, to smash the~ machine, leaving nothing but the foundations of the structure: upon this base, a new machine has been erected which is be coming very oppressive and cor rupt; the methods employed to keep it in running order are: county in the State with a good size plant in ward 5 Charleston, and it would not take much per suasion to lead the people to do some more smashing whether the hammer is entrusted to Mc Laurin o some one else. It will be done, and the election of D. C. Heyward is the beginning of the end of the present intoler ance of the machine, and its rotten methods that thwart the people's wishes. A HUMANE PRESIDENT. President zoosevelt's attempt to relieve the distressing condi tion, brought on by the coal strike, deserves the hearty com mendations of the people, north, south, east and west, without re gard to party. The present con dition is being felt all over the Union, and in the north great suffering will result unless the operators relent and permit this fuel to get on the market within the reach of the poor. The prices of coal make its use al most prohibitive and where coal is depended on for fuel the con dition is indeed alarming. Unless something is done to put a stop to the greed of cor porations, we look into the f u ture of this country with fear and trembling: just think of it, a few moneyed men can come together and with the power of their wealth bring on such a condition that humanity impels the head of the nation to fall upon his knees and beg for mer cy for those whom these corpor ation barons are causing to suffer that they might increase their bank accounts. It is enough to melt the heart of thc stoat to see the Nation's ruler pleading f or the screws of oppression to be loosened from his suffering peo ple. That we have a man in the presidential chair who has in dependence enough within his make-up to call these oppressors together and tell them of the suffering they are causing, is some consolation, for in this day and time those in public position are the creatures of capital and dare not do aught but uphold them in any action they may take. President Roosevelt has made the attempt to bring about relief, so far he has not met with success, for the trusts have the law on their side, made at their dicta tion, and by their paid instru ments; the president knows this and is without power to do any thing officially, but by his recent action he has thrown the weight The cotton report from the government was the lowest, and showed up the shortest crop in many years, notwithstanding this, the price has not advanced to any extent. The speculators have a grip upon the market and we fear they will not turn loose as long as the product is in the hands of the farmers to any great extent. If the government showing is anything like a cor rect estimate we cannot for the life of us see why cotton should remain under ten cents. The crop short, the demand strong, and business very active, should in our opinion make the price go up if there is any argument ii the theory of supply and de mand. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot, reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu tioital remedies. Deafness is caused by an in tamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. when this tube gets inflam ed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear ing. and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition.hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh. which is ning but an inflamed condition of the mu cou will ci'e One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

The Worst Form. Multitudes are singing the praises of Kodol, the new discovery which is making so many sick people well and weak people strong by digesting what they eat, by cleansing and sweetening the stomach and by transforming their food into the kind of pure, rich, red blood that mnaies you feel good all over. Mrs. Crar~fill of Try, I. T., writes: For a number of years I was troubled with indiges tion and dyspepsia which gre" into the worst form. Finally I was in duced to use Kodol and after using four bottles I am entirely cured. I heartily recommend Kodol to a!l suf ferers from indigestion and dyspep sia. Take a dose after meals.

As I an sure it will prove of interest to those living along the line of rail road herein referred to, I beg you will let me have space in your next issue to inform the people of this and adjoining counties, that I have received a letter from the S. C. Railroad Commissioners saving a tri-weekly train will be run from Creston to Lanes and return. be ginning about the 15th. inst. This train will allow of going to anti from Charleston the same day, and permit those living south of Sumter in addition to this facility, to visit Colum: bia Sumter and Manning and return the same day. This train will be a great convenience to many and it will be only right to patronize it as much as possible that it may at least pay ex penses and continue as a permanent schedule. The train will be put on at the same time with the new publica tion of the time table of the A. C. L. railroad the middle of October. HENRY B. RICHARDSON. Pinewood, Oct. 6th, 1902. His Life in Peril.

A well known Glasgow divine related the following anecdote, showing that the ready wit of a countryman was more than a match for him: He was going to the country for his holidays and was in a railway train when a young man entered. In a short time the two commenced a conversa tion, in the course of which the clergy man asked the youth what he worked at. "I am a coupler, sir," was the reply. "A coupler! So am I," replied the clergynan with a laugh. The youth looked at him for a rmin ute or so, then burst into a fit of laugh ter and said: "'Oh, I see; ye'r a meenis ter. Ye marry folks. But I gang far ther than ye dae. I baith couple and uncouple." The clergyman laughed heartily and acknowledged that the youth had the better of the sally. Why She Wanted an Introduction. "I must have an introduction to that woman." "Why, yes; certainly," replied her friend, and at once brought' it about. Later she asked: "What made you so keen about meet ing Mrs. S.? You gazed at her as- in tently as if you cou~ld not take your eyes from her while you were talking. I never found her so interesting." "Oh, I don't know whether she is in teresting, but didn't you see that love ly tie she wqre? I just had to find out how it was made. I know how to make one exactly like it nov-. Just let me clap my eyes on anything of that sort for a few minutes and I'll reproduce it so that you never could tell the copy from the originaL"-New York Press. The Hnman Heart. The heart of man Is a book-nay, It is an enclycopedia of everything that has ever come within the range of its personal experience. It preserves an eternal record of all the stories in which it has played a part. It Is strange what sad things may be hidden in its depth without giving any token of their existeree. The heart may be gay and may send the smile mantling to the face, but all the while you see only the topmost stratum. If the graves beneath were to give up their dead, the smiles would seem strangely out of place. __ _ _ _ _ _ _ Steel Skyserapera.

There is no use closing our eyes to the tendency of the ige, capital is organized to concentrate its forces, and unless the farmers organize to resist, the hope of the country is shaken.
