Walt Whitman is in the race for governor again. He tiled his pledge in time, but did not pay the assessment, and < was therefore ruled out of the race. Last week, however, lie paid up, and is now an official candidate. It won't be muclr trouble counting the votes he gets. Senator Tillman, in speaking of the candidates last Saturday, said he knew about how things would turn out. Judging front the meetings already held, the man who beats McSweeney will be governor; Winkler seems to be a winner for lieutenant governor; Bellinger will again have control ol' the legal department; and Col. Floyd will direct the affairs of the < "melishe." Timnterinan will succeed himself as State treasurer, although Mr. . Jennings will make a good run; Derham will again be comptroller general; W. I>. Evans will continue to be chairman of the board of railroad commissioners; and Jno. J. McMahan will hold his place as State superintendent of education and 4,be the grand-daddy of all the children of South Carolina," even if he is an old bachelor. V Senator Tillman and Congressman Tal. bert did the right thing last Saturday in calling the attention of our people to the urgent necessity of polling a full vote in the November election. Too many voters look on the matter with indifference, and and stay away from the polls. This should not be the case. It is a duty that every citizen owes his country to cast his ballot in the general election. It would be a sad thing to have our representation in congress reduced by the negligence and indifference of our own people, but this will be the case unless we awake to the situation. It has been suggested as a possible remedy that the primary system be abolished and all candidates run in the general election, but this is a very dangerous thing to do. One thing is certain, unles the voters of South Carolina- take hold of this matter in earnest, we are sure to feel the effects of our carelessness. Bret Harte's Condensed Novels. Years ago?Bret Harte wrote a series of stories which he called " condensed novels"?humorous tales, in which he burlesqued the style, mannerisms and peculiarities of the authors of the day. Mr. Ilarte has just completed, for The Saturday Evening Post, a new series of these inimitably funny literary caricatures. Admirers of Conan Doyle should read the adventures of Hemlock Jones in his quest of The Stolen Cigar-Case; and those who are fond of Mr. Kipling will find pleasure in Stories Three; tales of Moo Kow, the Cow Puskat, the warmthloving one; the adventures of Bleareyed, Otherwise and Mulled winej'. In Rudolph, the Rescmbler. the astute reader will find a new version ot Alimony nopes most popular story, and will understand how much more complicated it might have been had there been th{ee kings instead of only two. The" tirst of these "condensed novels" ?The Jungle Folk?will appear in The - Saturday Evening Post of June *>U. A Card of Thanks. I wish to say that I feel under lasting < obligations for what Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has done for our family.

The July number of Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly is appropriately patriotic, in grouping together the Kon. John Quincv Adams's illustrated article upon "The birthplace of the American Flag," Hezekiah Butterworth's inspiring "Flag Song," specially revised and extended for this publication, and a line poem by Theodora Peck, entitled, "A Dream of the Flag." The general contents of this Julv num. ber of Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly are as rich and varied as ever. In addition to its patriotic features, it has a notable leading article upon "Rapid Transit in Great Cities," by George H. Johnson, Sc. D., very profusely illustrated, presenting a comprehensive study of this important problem of modern civilization, not only in Greater New York, but in Chicago, Boston, London, Paris, and other centres of population. "Our Samoan Station," the tropical island of Tutuila, with its harbor of Pango-Pango, is described and beautifully pictured by Albert de Lautreppe. Lionel Strachey and Edmond Rostand collaborate in a fascinating sketch of "The Greatest Living Actress" who is none other than Sarah Bernhardt. Another personal paper is "Mary E. Wilkinsat Home," by Katharine Hill. "Photography as a Sport," by W. Nutting-, and "Women in Philanthropy," by May Wilkinson Mouut, are interesting in their respective ways. The fiction in Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for July includes, besides the Sheridan-likc pending of Egerton Castle's "Bath Comedy," a quaintly humorous New England story by liollin Lyned Hartt. and a Cape Cod idyll called "In Old Manomet Village," by Etta W. Pierce. The poetry and "Marginalia" include contributions* by Pal gar Fawcett, William Hamilton Hayne, Norman II. Pitman. Frank Lawrence Jones, Ethel West and Mary Sargent Hopkins. Census Frauds. Iu a very interesting article on the danger to the South of being cheated in the present census, and the adducing of proofs of this State having been cheated which R. M. Lamer writes to the News avi.t Courier iv 111? f<libtwill?' The evidences of fraud in 1S90 show "bej'ond a reasonable doubt that South Carolina had more than a million and a quarter people ten years ago, and if so she has more than l.."?r,n.otH) now. for there has been a gain rather than a loss hv migration during the last ten years, ff tincensus of lt?ou tells the truth. South Carolina will gain a representative in congress. If, like the census of lSiKh it is taken for political effect, rather than for an accurate statement of the statistical condition of the country, she may lose one, for a continuation of the under count in tlie gain between lSSO and 1 x*?o would give fewer than 1 ,'3To.dOO people in lhOO.

THE CAMPAIGN MEETINGS. ltrief Reports of Those Held Last and This Week. The mcetinir on "Wednesday of last week was held at Hampton, the home of Governor McSwecney, who made no speech. This county is said to he divided as to dispensary and prohibition, hut personally MeSweeney is strong. Tin-hulk of the crowd present. however, is said to have been for Col. Hoyt. There were a yreat many absentees, a ml there were no exciting passages at arms U'tween the candidates. N??thiijit interesting happened. and there is no use to yive a detailed account of the meeting. AT IIAKNWK1.I.. ' P.. .11 IMH'OI nit1 sensation* ;n im- d.unim > meeting was the announcement that A. C. Join's ha?i withdrawn from tin* race for I'niti'd States Senator. Walt Whitman appeared on the hustings for the tirst time. The fellows who want to be lieutenant governor indulged in some good-natured sparring. Patterson commended McSweency for refusing to pardon Pons, the bigamist, but jumped on him for not enforcing the dispensary law. Col. Hoyt.as well as the other gubernatorial candidates, was wi ll received. Senator Tillman was present and addressed the crowd, being the last speaker. Congressman Talbert also spoke. The crowd "guved" Whitman, which seemed to make him angry. Attorney General Bellinger, who is county chairman, presided over the meeting, bill did not speak. 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 constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the eustachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you liavt* a rumbling sou ml or impelled hearing, and when it is entirely elosed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can he taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition hearing will he destroyed forever; nine eases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Ernest Seton-Tliompson's "Wild Animal Play" gives special interest and sprightliness to the July Ladies' Home Journal. Into its roles children are ingeniouslv fitted to impersonate the wild animals *Mr. Set on-Thompson has known and told about with so much charm. Tinearly days and notable incidents of "The Fashionable Summer Resorts of the Century" are graphically recalled, and the story of a real heroine of the Continental Army is told in "The Girl Who Fought in the Revolution." Edward Boksets forth with much emphasis the benefits of living in the country, "An American Mother" writes on "Is a College Education the Best for Our Girls V" and Edward B. Rawson points out the harmful effects of "Letting Children Rust in Summer." The experiences of "A Missionary in the Great West" are continued in the July Journal. The fiction features are "The Story the Doctor Told" and "The Voice in the Choir." "The American Girl at Her Sports," by H. C. Christy,' is shown in a page drawing. Other pictorial features are examples of the work of "Albert Lynch: a Painter of Fair Women," "In Some Old-Fashioned Gardens," "Here and There in a Summer Cottage," "Through Dintniwnliu A Itlurioq " (>fi> TllVW'tv MP k IK IrUtV^ljUV V .

Philadelphia, Pa., June 25.?Broken in health and spirit, ex-governor Wm. S. Taylor, of Kentucky, started for Niagara Falls to-night.

Denmark Doings. Dknmakk. June 'i?.?Since the county campaign meeting at Bamberg the citizens of this town ami community have j been in a manner electing by argument the next governor of South Carolina. | Mr. (Jury, that master man of Abbeville, : is recognized by all to be the greatest 1 power ami light of the gubernatorial I group. Mr. lloyt iselaiminga good share of the votes of this section, as well as j | Coventor MeSweenev. Mr. Patterson will . {have to get closer behind the "blind tigers" before he can establish a similar right and claim among the voters of this county. To carry out the line of prediction, Mr. j j Winkler will be lieutenant governor, Floyd, Bellinger, Cooper, Derhatn ana McMahan will succeed themselves. Mr. li. 11. Jennings may step in Dr. Timmerlnan's shoes. For the time being eounty politics has j been eclipsed, but such cannot be said of : the politicians. The people seem inclined | to recognize personal ability and special titncss as the essential elements of the winning candidates. Probably fewer mistakes will be made by the people in the coming primary than in any previous test of the popular method. The great watch word is "merit." The Dell Telephone Company lias agreed to establish a local exchange in Denmark, provided a required number of subscribers can be secured. The agent is canvassing the town, and, so far, the success of the undertaking is very encouraging. A very exciting case was tried in the magistrate's court at this place a few days ago, brought by the State against Mr. A. 1). Pearson, for putting fish traps into the Edisto river. Judge Iz.lar, of Orangeburg, defended Mr. Pearson, and (f. \V. M. Williams, Jr., represented the State. I The jury rendered a verdict in favor of the defendant. The fish question has been receiving the attention of a good number of citizens recently, as it is claimed the wanton destruction of the excellent Edisto tish has been practiced to an alarming degree for some time. Law-abiding citizens seem determined to call a halt on the raiders. The Denmark Milling Company is J busy night and day manufacturing pure flour. On account of excessive rains, the grain is in very poor condition for milling. Good flour cannot be made out of water-sobbed wheat. In a short time a beautiful monument will mark the resting place of the late Mrs. Julia Day. Mrs. Day was primary teacher in the Denmark school for twenty odd years. The committee reports that a very liberal response on the part of the community has made it possible to show this degree of appreciation of this onee notable lady and teacher. Farmers are somewhat discouraged, owing to the extraordinary condition of weather and crops. The grass has become unmanageable, and probably a great quantity of it will go to seed. Miss "Roberta Reed will leave Wednesday morning for Greenville, where she will attend the aunual Methodist missionary meeting. Would Not Sutler So Again For Fifty Times Its Price. I awoke last night with severe pains iu my stomach. 1 never felt so badly in all my life. When I came down to work this morning I felt so weak I could hardly work. I went to Miller & McCurdy's drug store ami they recommended Chamberlain's colic, cholera and diarrhoea remedy. It worked like magic and one dose flxed me all right. It certainly is the finest thing I ever used for stomach' trouble.

To Sue the State. Some months ago the attorney general of the United States in an informal manner notified the State officials in making his demand for a settlement, that the Federal government would enter suit against this State for upwards of $300,000 of old claims which the United States avers the State of South Carolina owes to the national government. The claims are all old war claims, and a very small part of the valid war claims held by the State against Uncle Sam would offset them. The State's claims are now in course of adjudication, but this seems to make no difference insofar as Uncle Sam's desire to press his claims are concerned, for yesterday notice of suit against the State was served upon the attorney genaral, who, while as yet has nothing to say about the matter for publication, will look into the merits of the matter and pursue the course he deems best.. The notice reads as follows: The United States of America, ss. The President of the United States of America?To the Marshal of the Supreme C'ouit of the United States.

She Would llnve Attoertained if She Could lluve Seen the Action* i of th > \fuslx.y to Whom She Had ! Iieeu Charitable. He was a ragged, dirty little chap, but there was a brightness in his eye? that atoned for the crime. He sat on the curb just outside the j station doorway, a bundle of papers on his knee, his head resting against the j canopy post. After a bit the bell clanged in the ! * 11 ml- ^ ! depot and a tram came roniug in. xue , newsboy rose from his hard seat and j "LET ME SEE IT." went inside and through the station to the platform. The exit gates wero thrown open and the usual stream surged through. The little man dropped down into a seat by the doorway and began to sob. He clutched his papers frantically to his breast and cried ana cnoa as cnougn nis heart were breaking. Two or three women noticed him and one started over to speak a word of kindness, but she was drawn back by two of her friends who said, "We must hurry, Sadie." It looked as though no one would take the trouble to soothe the heart of the child. Then there came the old lady. Her eyeswere kind and motherly and her hands were soft. She stooped a little and carried a black leather reticule. Her bonnet and cloak told of her home, away out in the country somewhere, far from the din and clatter of the city. She noticed the crying child. Her heart was touched. She went to him. He told her why he cried, that he had not sold his papers and that one man, a sailor, out of the kindness of his heart had given him a little piece of wood that he thought he might dispose of to some patriotically inclined person. "I know the man what guv it tome," sobbed the child. "He's a sailor on a ship that went away from here to Cuby aud the piece of wood is a part of the Merrimac what Hobson sunk." "Let me see it, "said the kind old lady. The youngster drew from his pocket a plain thin chunk of pine about an inch square. "Are you sure it's a piece of the Merrimac?" asked the old lady, her eyes brighter than at first. "Yes, ma'am. The man wouldn't 'a' tole me if it hadn't 'a* been." "And do you want to sell it?" asked the kindly old lady as she thought how Tom's eyes would sparkle if she should give him such a memento on her return* home. "Yes'ro," replied the child, who had dried his eyes. "How much do you want for it?" "The man said somebody what wanted it would gimme 50 cents for it likely. 1 wouldn't sell it for uothin if it wasn't that I'm afeard of a lickin when I git home fur not selliu my papers. " The kindly eyed old lady went down in her reticule and taking out her purse extracted half a dollar, which she handed over to the curly headed youngster in fitnhanpfl fnr the bit of wood. "Thank you kindly,"he said, taking off his cap. And she walked on smiling. With his 60 cents in his pocket and his bundle of three days' old papers under his arm, the crying cherub went over behind a freight car, and taking a shingle from inside the front of his shirt waist proceeded to whittle out half a dozen more Merrimac souvenirs with a dull jaekkuife.?Detroit Free Press.
