Ashley is a big, 1 I? ? ' * ? 11 miiiy, uneuucniea ieilow who is in no wise fitted for membership in that botly. Not satisfied with being n member of the lower branch of the Legislature, however, he asks the voters of Anderson county to send him to the Senate. He is opposed by ?T. K. Hood, an attorney of the city of Anderson. The Times knows nothing of the ability and reputation of Mr. Hood, but he must indeed bo an inditferent citizen if lie isn't an improvement over .Tosh Ashley.

Jim Tillman for governor is not n matter to be treated lightly, as some of those who are opposed to liiin seem to think. Thai he is very much n J factor in the race is a truth which must be admitted by all who read 1he newspaper reports of the campaign meetings. At not one of the meetings held thus far has he i failed to meet with a hearty recep- < lion and sincere applause (which, I in this State, means votes); and I those who cling to the thought 1 that his candidacy can be whistled I down the wind or laughed out of i court, so to speak, are apt to bo < woefully disappointed when the \ votes are counted. Viewing from i a non-partisan standpoint the 1 strength of the different candidates i at develop*d at the campaign i meetings, the race appears to be ' Lbetwe. n Col. Tillman and Capt. < Heyward. ?e that as it may, Col. I Tillman is apt to land in the sec- < ond race, in which event the friends : of his opponent will find it uecessa y to work early and late to insure the defeat of the man whose morality is questionable. ? John Caldwell Calhoun. j The following sketch of the life , of John C. Calhoun, whom many consider the greatest man our State j j litis produced, is well worth the icareful perusal of every South j Carolinian. It is tuken from one! of the leading encyclopedias of i the day: John Caldwell Caihouu was a leading politician of the United I States; was the grandson of an I ; Irish Presbyterian, who founded Calhoun settlement, in Ihedistiict of Abbeville, South Carolina. It ! was there that John Calhoun was 1 born in 1782. For some yoars he I assisted his widowed mother in the management of her fnrtn, but at the age of eighteen he commenced to study for the bar. He graduated with honors at Yale college, and spcn' eighteen months at Lit eh- j (ield, the only law school in the | country. Hp then returned to | practice in hia native district of Abbeville. While there, in June, JS07, the searching of the Chesapeake having aroused strong feeling in America, Calhoun drew up for a public meeting a resolution 1 expressive of indignation against great Britain, and supported it in a speech of such power that he was soon after elected a member of the ! Legislature, and in November. J 1811, became a member of Con-i greet*-. where he continued to be i an t nthusinstio and prominent nd- { herent of the war parly. For seven years, commencing with 1817, he acted with credit as! Secretary of War under Monroe; j in 1825 he became vice-President j of the United SlateB under John | Qnincy Adams, and in 1820 he was re-el noted under General .Tnekson. lie now begun to be looked upon as u champion of the South, and, though he had supported the protective tariff of 1810, he became an enger advocate of free trade? that policy being, oven populaily, recognized an advantageous to tho cotton-growing StatPH. He is, however, best known as a strenuous defender of slavery and as the author of a doctrine to which the Civil war may be traced?the doctricne of "nullification," according to which each State has the right to reject any act of Congress which it considers unconslitu- i tionnl. This view wna in 1820 i adopted l>y the Legislature of his native State, Hiid drawn tip in a document, mainly pepared by ? Calhoun, which wns known as the "South Cnrolina Exposition," nt:d which was approved by Virginia, Georgia and Alabnnia. Tn 1832 ' the Legislature of South Carolina 1 carried the theory into practice by ' passing luws nullifying the obnoxious tariff of that yeni; but its opposition was crushed by the ! firmness of General Jackson, who < declared that he would resoit to i force, if neceasary. I The most important of the other political acts of Calhoun are his I defence of the light of veto which i belongs to the President, hisndvo- < racy of the annexation of Texas, and his maintenance of the cause < of peace, when tlie war with Great ? lirilain was threatened by the < claims of <he United States to I Oregon. Ho died at Washington i on the 31st of March, 1850. His ' works, with memoir, were pnb- I Halted posthumously in six vol- i mnns, by Richard K. Cralle, who I had been his amanuensis. They f include n dissertation "On the Constitution and Government of the United States," and from this book we learn that he advocated t I ho election of two presidents, one * by the froo and another by the t ilave States, the consent of both t jf whom should be essential .to the i passing of any law. Calhoun's ( Hpeechos were always directly to t the point, clearly and forcibly, t while he seldom iudntged in the t imaginative or purely rhetorical, c The integrity and worth of hite f Hiaraoter, have been spoken of in 1 ihe highest terms, even by politi- n :al opponents. 1 Neely, Insurance Agent, in Limbo. A special to the Charlotte Oliver from Wudesboro, N. C., says that Jno. G. Neely, the man for whom a reward was offered by tlie sheriff of York county, S. C., for selling bogus life insurance, was' arrested in Polkton Thursday j morning, just as he was boarding I the soutlibouiid vestibule. He was i taken to Wadesboro by a constable, to be held until the arrival of Sheriff Logan, of Yorkville, S. C. The Observer correspondent called upon Neely and showed him one of the hand bills, which offers tlie reward. He said that every word of it was untrue. W hen asked ifi he wished to make u statement he i replied: ''The matter will speedily ' be investigated and all 1 ask is for the people to suspend jutlg- j ment until a full statement is irrndu. I have legal counsel and don't wish to talk." The constable who arrested Neely says that he was to have married one of the nicest young ladies in Peaohlund Thursday afternoon, but the fact of his being wanted in Yorkville was discovered and his fiancee faced him ' with the charge, demanding that ! he clear it up before she would marry him. After hearing of his i arrest the lady was prostrated with grief. Neely is u widower, 48 years old, and has three children in Chester comity. -4 ?- . A Broken People. In an authoritative article on "The Strike of the Anthracite M iners," in the Pilgrim for July, the Rev. John McDowell, himself a miner not long since, says of t he effect of the work "below surface" upon the men and their families: "The miners, as a rule, have large families. Most of the boys are sent to work at an early age. "The writer of this article began work before he was eight yeaisoid. The law of Pennsylvania has prohibited boys from working under 14 years of age. But so great is the need of the family that oftentimes the law is ignored and hoys under twelve are seat to work to help earn the living. There iH no aadder sight than to bee boys, young enough to be in their mother's arms, going back and forth to their daily toil. Oh, for a Mrs. Browning to write the cries of the miners' children! The miner and his brave wife do all they can to keep their hoads above water, but sad to say their efforts are seldom successful. "In no part of thelnnd will you find so many broken-down mencripples, widows and orphans, as in the coal regions. Last year 513 men were killed and 1,243 injured. In the past thirty-two years over ten thousand men have been killed and over twenty-six thousand injured. Think of the sutTering and sorrow ' represented by these figures! There is not a day but the black, heavy ambulance may be seen i slowly making its way from the i mine to some home with a dead 1 father or an injured son. Every ( lay the miner takes his life in his hands for the suke of a scanty liv- i ing for his family, which is always dearer to him than his life. "The mortality among the mi- < ners is very much above tho aver- | age. Especially is this true of the shildren. Go into any mining vi!liago and ask a mother: 'How t many children have you?' The ^ inswer will be, perhaps: 41 have ind eleven and lout six.' And such < i stateinent is usually followed by ! bin comment; 'Thank God they j ire spared n miner's life.'" ? Statist Seateaesd ts the Pea. In the criminal court in Spar- j anbury Thursday morning Dr. 3. S. Daniel, who was convicted of i wearing goods under false pre- , eases, was sentenced to 15 months I n the penitentiary and pay a fine < >f $125. Daniel gave a mortgage ' 0 tho Andrews Music and Furui- ( ure Co., of Charlotte, in payment j or a piano. The mortgage was J liscovered to have been invalidate I >d by notion of the mortgagor, and ' Daniel was prosecuted. Daniel is ( 1 well known dentist and the case t ia? attracted great iutercet. s 0 0?1(2N3??0G0?@C3 1| The Blim g Wo havo deck ? longer, as wo belie 0 are offering them, x that we have sol 0 weeks.

She couldn't eat anything without its soaring on hoc stomach, and was forced to live on tho lightest kind of diet, swoot milk and crackers, and oven that disagreed with her. This brought on many dilTorout ailments. She was so weak she couldn't sit up in bed without help. She suffered from constipation all tho time, so that sho would have to take something daily for it, Sho was very nervous and could only sleep at night when something was given to make her sleep. It was a general break-down after tho birth of her third child. Nothing we gave her crave anv norma nont relief. As fast as one trouble was relieved another would take its place. I then put her on Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy. She felt a little bettor on the second bottle and on the third the improvement was marked. My wife begun to build up and to get stronger. She can now eat anything she wants and it agrees with hor. It cored her of chills. She took about eight bot ties. Her gouoral health is now gifctd.
