A Washington dispatch to the 1

to -Tillman has t-ucceeded in hav-|
ing an amendment inserted in the
deficiency appropriation bill providing
$100,003 for the relief of
th Charleston Exposition, as provid
d for in the Latimer bill,
a'r. .idy introduced in the House,
it 14 now the duty of the memhois
of the South Cafolma delegation
to have the amendment kept, in
the bill when it renches the House.
In fortunately but few of the menil)iM4
of the Palmetto delegation
are now in Washington. They
are too busy looking after their
political fences to give much
time to the pending measure.
.lust why Anderson county?one

lias sent Josh Ashley to the Legislature
so ofton is a question frequently
asked. 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.

form Josh's ambition.
The candidacy of Col. 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.

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.'"

Killing Chinch Bugs.
The Monroe Journal says that
Mr. J. F.Touiberlin,of New Salem, j
has exterminated the chinch bug
on his farm by moms of a new
process. lit: has turned his bullfrogs
loose on them. He has corn
plnnted on the creek and nearby
this was a wheat Held. When he
cut the wheat the hugs began eat- ]
ing the corn and he soon noticed ,
that the frogs from the creek had
f* fondness for them. He made a
trail of corn stalks leading from ;
the wheat field to the corn field
jo that the bugs won Id all go by |
the seme route, and as they en- 1
tered the field they were met by
(lie frogs and were devoured as
Past as they came.

My wlfo was :i terrible snflforor from
indigestion. 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. I believe my W*'e wnnld have
died had 1 not put her on Mrs. Person's
Remedy. We now use it in our
family for everything. No matter what
tho trouble is we go on the Remedy. It
is a No. 1 doctor and handy to have in
the house. R. P. HARRIS,
