Among those that fair week in Columbia has hatched out as can didates for Governor two years hence is Hon. R. I. Manning, and we believe he will make a fine showing with the people if his -aspirations do not become dried up by the scorching drought that seems probable to be in the State about 1910. It begins to look as non; but promising Prohibition ists need apply. The great national contest has been settled. William H. Taft was overwhelmningly elected. It looks like a landslide for the Re publicans, and that Tammany's great professions for Bryan were only to hide their rotten sell ing out of Greater New Y6rk to the Republican party. In the ras cally effort to sell out Bryan for Chanler, the Tammanyites were hoisted by their own petard, as the Republicans did not deliver the goods, or carry out their part of the agreement to vote for Chanler. Hughes carried New York by a large plurality. Will the Democratic leaders re -member these things four years hence. Bryan is too good and great a man, to be slaughtered .as he was yesterday. The Dem ocrats may holler, it was money. the election was bought, but in our humble opinion treachery was no small factor in encom passing the defeat of the Demo cratic party.. - The Northern Methodist church made a strong -effort to defeat Speaker Joe Cannon, but they failed, and the indications are that the Republicans have. made gains in Congress. The Repi-blicans claim Bryan's State. We hope now that the election is over, cotton will take a rise. It has been customary in this county to have a mass meeting before the assembling of the leg -islature, and in our opinion con ditions are such that makes it important for a mass meeting about the first Saturday in Jan uary. The writer will endeavor to have a conference with the delegation to decide upon a date. There are several questions which should be freely and can didly discussed: among which is the matter of county taxation, whether the people want the lien law repealed, and do they want the mortgage on crop clause repealed with it. The delegation should know the feeling of the people with regard to these matters, and at this meeting plain, clear cut resolutions should be adopted. Last year such a meeting was held, and resolutions were adop ted, but after the legislature ad journed there seemed to be a misunderstanding about the ac tion of the meeting, and the in structions to the representatives. Let the coming meeting, should their be one, place itself on record explicitly that no misan derstanding will result. The public school conditions in this county, and we presume the same conditions exist else where, is anything but satisfac tory, if the reports which reach us is true, and as long as the trustees are appointed by the county board there will always be dissatisfaction. It is our sin cere opinion that school trustees, considering their importance to a community, should be chosen by the electorate of the respec tive school districts. When there is trouble about a school. the contending sides or factions carry their grievances to the Superintendent, and he in turn aigrees to investigate, if he does, he runs up agamnst embar assmnents, as his friends that vot ed fov him, and who he is want ing to please for their votes agair.. are- divided into factions. If he dec-ides in favor of one side, -the other side get mad, and un less he is a man determined to do igiht with the lights before him. regardless of consequences, there will be nothing done and both sides euss him out. 'Therefore these' embarassing conditionsj may 'e avoided byltig the peop!- select their trustees. If they ; t a set which turn out to be no good, they can put them out and select another. Bryan made the gamest fight ever made on the American con tinen't.He started out under great i disadvantages, with a disorganiz ed force. The Democratic party in the North. West and East had to be gotten together: it looked like an impossible task to unite; the party, but it was done by William Jennings Bryan's great parsonality, intensity of purpose, and high integrity. As long as this country will have political parties Bryan's impress will be found upon the governmental po licies. As long as the republic i exists his writings and speeches will be quoted from as standard authority. His name is written in history as one of the greatest thinkers and orators America has ever produced. He is defeated for the third time, but is still a leader. There is more Catarrh mn tlis section of the country than all other diseases put together. and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable.

TAFT ELECTED BY LARGE MAJORITY. Hughes And Cannon Were Both Re-Elected. New York, November 4.-General election returns from throughout the United States received up to an early hour this morning show the following results: Wm. H. Taft, of Ohio, has been elect ed President, with 29S votes sure and 13 doubtful. Practically no change is indicated in the emplexion of the National House of Representatives. The United States Senate will retain its present Republican majority. Governor Chas. E. Hughes has been reiected in New York State by about 76,000 plurality. Indiana has gone for Taft by from 15, 000 to 1S,000 plurality. Taft has carried Ohio by a majority ranging from 50,000 to 75,000. Taft carried New York city by about 11,000 plurality. The indications are that Democratic Governors have been elected in several of the Middle Western States that have given their Presidential votes to Taft. The Republican pluralities fell off heavily in the Middle West in a manner thoroughly surprising to the Republi can managers. Speaker Cannon has been re-elected by his usual majority. Representatives Payne, of New York, and DaIzell, of Pennsylvania, have been re-elected and the House of Represen tatives probably will continue under its old regime. Mr. Payne will have charge of the new tariff bill in the extra ses sion, which Mr. Taft will call immedi ately after March 4 next. Missouri has returned to the "Solid South" on the Presidential ticket, and elected Cowherd as Governor. Returns from the up-country districts of New York State, where voting ma chines are largely used, were the next to arrive. It had been predicted for days that Erie County, including the heavy vote of Buffalo, might be taken as an index to thearift throughout the country. This proved to'be the case so far as the national ticket was coacern ed, Mr. Taft having a plurality of some thing more than 4,000 votes. Erie Coun ty surprisingly, however, gave Lieuten ant Governor Chanler a plurality of more than 3,000. The opponents of Gov ernor Hughes were quick to claim a' sweeping .victory, but returns from the other large counties and cities soon changed the complexion of the returns completely. The vote in Greater New york for Cbanler was deeply disap poinrdug to his friends, while the heavy vote for Mr. Taft, especially in the bor ough of Brooklyn, completely eclipsed the most sanguine hopes of the Repub licans, Governor.Hughes was cut beav ily up the State, but not so deeply as to imperil his election once the drift in his favor "Below the Bronx" had be gun to make itself felt. Some of the figures relating to thie Republican slump in States regarded as certainly Republican are little short of amazing. Pennsylvania's immense phi rality of over 500,000 four years ago has been cut in two. Illinois, which gave Roosevelt 305,000 in 1904, has gone for1 Taft by about 170,000. The highest claim of the Republicans for Indiana is 15,000. as against approximately 93,000. Iowa, wvhich gave Mr.. Roosevelt 158, 000 plurality in 1904, has dropped down to about 40,000 for Mr. Taft The re turn of Missouri to the Democracy on the Presidential ticket wiped out a Re pnbican plurality of 25,000 four years ago. Maryland and West Virginia are confidently claimed by the Republicans, but the returns are twolmeagre to jus tify a classification of either State: Massachusetts, New York and New Jer sey were striking exceptions to the geh erally reduced Republican pluralities. There has been a shrinkage of the Dem ocratic vote in several of the Southern States, notably in V irginia and North Carolina. Mr. Taft has carried Wiscon sin by a plurality estimat'ed at 75,000, a falling of from the Republican plurality of 156,000 in 1900.. Kentucky has gone safely for Bryan. Representative Cowherd has been elec-1 ted governor of Missouri over Hadley, Reublican. Governor John A. Johnson of Minne sota, has probably been elected gover nor of that State for a third term, al-] though tbe State has gone for Taft Taft carried every so-called doubtful State. Mr. Bryan carried Nevada and Mon tana. in addition to the solid South, which includes Missouri. As to Colorado and Maryland the re turns are too meagre to form a definite conclusion. The Republicans claim from latest advices that Taft has carried Marland.

And you are going to play -a game next Saturday, are you? Well, I'll go and see it." The game took place according to announcement, and the Torna does were beaten by a score of 26 to 0.

These plain, straightforward statements will do much toward relieving the suf feri?.g of thousands. Such testimony will be read with interest by many peo ple. S. C. Brown, living at 12 Canal St., Sumter, S. C., says- "I used Doan's I Kidney Pills, and they did me more - good than all the other remedies I had previously used. I suffered severely from a lame back and some days was not able to work on this account. It hurt me to stoop or lift anything, I could not rest at nights and no position i I assumed was comfortable. In the morning upon first arising, my back was so stiff and lame that I could hardly get about, the secretions contained a dark sediment, and I had to pass them very often. I used plasters and liniments :or my back, but did not receive relief. I finally used Dorn's Kidney Pills and they cured me. I have not had a lame back since, the secretions from my kid neys are now clear and they do nos give me any trouble. I am well and strong at present and give Doan's Kidney Pills the credit."
