Trips Fcr the Militia. With the annual encampment ' at Anniston, Ala., and the training camp for the South Carolina commissioned officers at Fort McPherson, Georgia, to come during the next two months, the ( officers and privates of the National Guard in this State have several interesting trips just ahead of them. The summer camp of instruction for the commissioned officers ^f the Gulf division of the National Guard will be held near 1 Atlanta, Ga., at Fort McPherson. i The South Carolina officers will 1 be at this camp during the week ( o: May 13 to 18.

State Politics Warming Up. i There is much interest in po> litical questions in South Carot lina at this time. In addition to 1 the all-absorbing topic of presil dential preferences there is a - decidedly strong current of State i politics in circulation. Judge IraB. Jones, former chief justice of the South Carolina supreme ' court, a candidate for governor [ against Gov. Cole L. Blease, has j concluded a campaign trip of over a month through the pied} mont section of South Carolina, s speaking in half a dozen coun* ties. Judge Jones is making an exceedingly active campaign, ~ sometimes making as many as " four speeches in a single day. Three candidates are now in xl? m lUn T Tniffirl 5t"QtP5 Lilt" lltlU 11U UIC Ulllivu ^V?..v<ww 8 senate. The term of the senior - senator. R K. Tillman, expires s in 1913 and he is a candidate to succeed himself. W. Jasper Tale belt, who has run before, is a candidate. The latest entry is e that of X. 1>. Dial, lawyer, bankd er and cotton mill president of e Laurens. Mr. Dial is no strangn er to politics, having been a ' leading figure in municipal poliy tics of Laurens for years. He is former mayor of Laurens. Martin e F. Ansel of Greenville, a former e governor, may run. Another s ex-governor in the race may be II John Gary Evans of Spartanburg. R. Goodwyn Rhett, former mayor n of Charleston, is a possibility, as e is Richard I Manning, twice a tr candidate for governor, n The usual large crop of candidates for the various State it offices will be in evidence.

Steele, the young man from Lancaster, S- C., who was killed by the falling of a pole of the Southern Power Co.'s system here last January 12th, have instituted suit against the Southern Power for $25,000. Steele, who was a young man about 25 years of age, was working as lineman for the power company. The squad to which Steele was assigned for duty was engaged in repairing the line between the city and Lakewood Park. He had climbed upon a newlv placed pole to adjust a wire, the pole being located on a steep embankment on the Wadsworth place, just west of the city. The pole fell with the young man down the embank- ' ment killing him almost instant- , ly. It will be alleged in the com- i plaint that insufficient precaution j was taken to insure the safety , of the workman, allowing mm to risk his life in a hazardous manner. Mr. S. C. Ross, of this city, was made administrator of the deceased, since none of his ' relatives, being non-residents, ] could serve in that capacity. | Judge Ernest Moore, of Lancas- ( ter, and Mr. F. M. Redd, of this , city, will represent the plaintiff. 1 News of Gold Hill. | Correspondence Fort Mill Times. The health of our neighbors is good, I think, and the farmers i are just moving up preparing the land for planting. The small grain crop is wellnigh invisible as yet. This, the 9th, day of April marks the 47th anniversary of the surrender of Lee at Appomattox. Yes, we are 47 years )lder than we were on that sventful day and we were no spring rooster then. A large majority of those present that morning have passed away, and the remaining few are old and ^ray-headed and are living monuments of God's mercy. The day their governor spoke ] at Gold Hill we heard a gentle- . man remark that their governor 1 had made rapid strides to go 1 from a livery stable boy to the ( office of governor. Yes, remarked another man, and what sort of a governor have we got? The other remarked that he is the best one vfe have had in twenty years. Well, that may be so, but there are a lot of ' mighty good people around here . who think otherwise and as they help pay the freight they want some governor, too. Next November we will put the bellcord in the hands of Uncle Jones who 1 will pay the freight on the whole outfit, if he does farm under a 1 fence only one rail high. 1 ^punter. Gold Hill, April 9. Solicitor Henry for Reelection. Solicitor J. K. Henry has stated ;o friends that he will be in the ace for re-election to the office le now holds, says a Chester lespatch to The News and Courer. Mr. VV. Harry Foster, of iforkville, is said to be a prospective candidate, and there are i!so said to be two others who r.ay decide to try conclusions with Mr. Henry. The present solicitor has been in office for several years, and has a splendid record for fidelity to duty. He , has made enemies by the vigor with which he has pushed certain prosecution, but at the same time he will be extremely hard to defeat. Glorious News comes from Dr. J. T. Curtiss, Dwight, Kan. He writes: "I not o;ily have cured bad cases of oezema in my patients with Electric Bitters, but also cured myself by them of the same disease. 1 feel sure they will benefit any case of eczema." This shows what thousands have proved, that Electric Bitters is a most effective blood purifier. Its an excellent remedy for eczema, tetter, salt rheum, ulcers, boils and running sores. It stimulates liver, kidneys and bowels, expels poisons, helps digestion, builds up the strength. Price 50 cts. Satisfaction guaranteed by Fort Mill Drug Co., Parks Drug Co. and Ardrey's Drug store.
