A Care for Cholera Infantum.
"Last May," says Mrs. Curtis Baker, of
Bookwalter, Ohio, "an infant child of our
neighor's was suffering from cholera infantum.
The doctor had given up all hopes
of recovery. 1 took a bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy to the house, telling them I felt
sure it would do good if used according
> " to directions. In two days' time the child
had full}* recovered, and is now (nearly a
year since) a vigorous, healthy girl. I
have recommended this Remedy fren'
quently and have never known it to fail
in any single instance." For sale by

A Fight at Gaffuey.
Gaffney, Aug. 14.?Latimer and Hemphill
had a fight just after the adjournment
of the senatorial meeting for dinner
to-day. At the conclusion of Elliott's
speech when adjournment was announced
Latimer called out for the crowd to stay
and hear him "ride these five lawyers."
As the crowd was passing out Hemphill
told Latimer that it was unfair to use
such language, to which Latimer replied
that Hemphill could not take a joke.
They then engaged in conversation for a
- few seconds when Latimer suddenly hit
Hemphill in the face with his fist. Hemphill
struck Latimer with an umbrella
which he carried. Bystanders quickly
v interfered and separated the statesmen.
Neither was injured.
Latimer said that Hemphill had insult%
ed him, but Hemphill says he did not and
it seems that the trouble grew out of a
misunderstanding. Gaffney appears to
be a place for sensatioual episodes in
political meetings.

JOHNSTONE FOR THE SENATE.
CONCEDED BY ALL THAT HE WILL
BE IN SECOND RACE.
Has Steadily Gained in the Campaign Now
About to Close-Something of the Life of this
Remarkable .Man, Who, by Ability of Highest
Order, Has Forged so Rapidly to the Front.
The purpose of our Democrat primary
is to give the people an opportunity to
judge for themselves of the character,
ability and titness of those aspiring to
position, so that the voter may be able to
cast his ballot intelligently.
In the canvass now about to close in
the State for the United States Senatorship,
there are practically no differences
in platform. The question to be decided
by the people is that of personal liiness.
Who of the six, aspiring to this position,
is most capable of representing South
Carolina in the United States Senate
with credit to himself and honor to his
State V
There is no doubt that since the canvass
began, George Johnstone, of Newberry,
has gained remarkable strength and made
most favorable impressions on voters. In
fact, it is conceded that of all the candidates,
he has gained most, this being admitted
on all hands.
' It may be well to iuquire into the record
and study something of the life of this
man who, by sheer force of character and
ability of the highest order, has forged
so rapidly to the front.
George Johnstone is a son of the late
Chancellor Job Johnstone, whose opinions
rank in literary ability and legal
erudition with those of the greatest chancellors
and judges the State has ever produced.
The son has inherited in great
measure the intellect of the father and that
intellect has had the advantage of thorough
training in the best schools of this
country and Europe.
In 1877 he was elected to the Legislature,
in which body he served for eight successive
years, retiring voluntarily.
In 1890 he was elected to congress from
the Third District. He was chairman of
the committee on Privileges and Elections,
from which Mr. Crisp was elected
speaker, and Mr. Johnstone was one to
whom Mr. Crisp looked constantly for
assistance.
No man can show a cleaner record. Few
can show a more remarkable record. No
man has sought more to do what he could
in the interest of and for the welfare of
his people. In times like these there is a
demand for men, not time servers; statesmen,
not politicians. There are momentous
questions to be settled, and above all,
do we need men who are able to grapple
with these questions in National Congress
and who do so intelligently and with a
wisdom and foresight born of the statesman.
The people of the State are now in
the enjoyment of their sober judgement,
they are not torn by party strife and factional
feeling. The appeal is made to this
sober judgment in the selection they will
be called upon to make for the highest
office in their gift. It is their duty to measure
up the candidates by the standard
which every true Carolinian should set
for such a position; character, tituess, intellect,
ability to stand up shoulder to
shoulder, arm to arm, hand to hand, intellect
to intellect, with any member of that
body.
The friends of Col. Johnstone have
never considered him a politician, and do
not now press his claims on that ground,
but rather as a broadminded statesman
who is able to grapple with the questions
of the da}' and meet the issues and solve
them intelligently; one who has always
stood for the peoples' interests aud those
principles he believed to be right and just,
though for the time they may not have
been popular.
In his old congressional district (Third)
he received an ovation at each meeting.
f Ai ! :
in toe Beginning ?i mis unu ic, u <>.?>
stated that since the canvass of the State
begun,George Johnstone has gained much
more rapidly than any of his competitors,
and it is absolutely certaiu that he will be
in the second race with one of them, and
that he will lead in the fust primary on
the 2Gth.
The following are only a few of the many
opinions which have been expressed by
the newspapers of the State, and are confirmation
of what is said above:
"The man who made the most votes bj'
this trip was Col. George Johnstone of
Newberry. Every one fell in love with
him, and he made many friends here."?
Georgetown Times.
"The self-reliant political faith of Johnstone,
clean cut and true to Democratic
principles, without fancy trimmings or
demagogic catches and withal the couvictious
that here is a man who would represent
South Carolina according to the dictates
of his own conscience, rather than
the understudy of another, have made a
strong impression ou the people among
whom he has appeared. He is in the front
rank of Senatorial possibilities, and there
is only bright promise to South Carolina
in such a prospect."?Charleston Evening
Post.
"Col. George Johnstone from all reports
has made a splendid record. His speeches
are clear, logical, to the point and easily
understood by the people geuerally."?
From the Press.
"The newspapers seem to agree that of
oil the Sonotoriol oanHulntf"; Cnl Ceorye
Johnstone is making the best headway at
the meetings. And this is true. Col. Johnstone's
speeches are bound to make a tine
impression on all who hear them, as they
are the utterances of a statesman?one
who has gone to the bottom of public
questions."?Sumter Herald.
"Not only the newspapers, but the other
Senatorial candidates, say that of all their
competitors, Col. George Johnstone has
made the most headway, and that he is the
man that they have individually to beat.
In other words, each candidate figures it
out that the race lies between himself
and Col. Johnstone.
"This condition can be explained in but
one way. It has been brought about by the
sheer ability of the man. Wherever he has
appeared he has won distinction, His
speeches insomecases have wrungapprobation
from those who otherwise would
have gone over bag and baggage to some
other fellow without thinking. Col. Johnstone,
as the Herald says, is a statesman?
one who has gone to the bottom of public
questions. He knows things and if elected
to the United States Senate, lie would be
able at once to take rank with the men in
the socalled 'inner circle' of the Senate,
composed of such men as Spoon er, Piatt of
Connecticut,Allison ami a few others from
the Republicans, and welcomed into I
fellowship by Democrats like Morgan of
Alabama, Bacon of Georgia and others.'
"He is able to place his beloved State, for
he does love South Carolina, in the position
she has occupied in public life. South
Carolina should send statesmen, not poli-i
ticians, to the United States Senate. Col.
Johnstone is a statesman, and an able one
at that."?Greenwood Index.

LATIMER FOR THE I S SENATE.
A Partial Record of What He Has Accomplished
in Congress.
The Third Congressional District, and
Anderson count)* in particular, presents a
candidate for the United States Senate in
the person of Congressman A. C. Latimer
who has special titness for the place as
shown by his past record. And what is
that record? A poor boy left by the for- j
tunes of war without the means of securing
an education beyond that afforded by
the old tield school, he started life with
the only legacy left him?that of the plow
handles. He has tried the tield and the
furrow in all its varying phases, and is
and has been a successful farmer, and
more thoroughly understands the needs,
and is in more thorough sympathy with
the agricultural population than any
other man in the tield. And this not in
antagonism to the other varied interests
of the State, but as lying at the basis of
all true prosperity, realizing that these
interests are corollaries growing out of
the agricultural interests of the State,
and that as agriculture is prosperous the
others willjnecessarily share in it, anu that
no country and no other interests can
prosper when agriculture is depressed.
Mr. Latimer has brought to the public
service the same zeal and energy, the
same honesty and square dealing, the
same practical business sense that has
.1 .1 ..
tJUlUUU luruugu IliC ill ills ^livaic uuoiuv^
and that he has made a success of it.
Look at the record of his ten years in
congress in results brought to people of
the Third district. It is not exaggeration
to say that he has secured more in ten
years than all the other congressmen
who have represented the district since
the war, and this is not said to disparage
them but as a simple statement of truth.
He went into congress a new and untried
man, fresh from the fields, sent there by
the farmers, inexperienced in legislation
and not skilled in the graces of oratory,
and it was not long until this farmerrepresentative
had something tangible to
show. The railroads in the btate in the
hands of receivers in the Federal courts
had for years failed to pay their taxes due
the State, and he at once set in motion
the necessary legal machinery to make
them pay their taxes just as the farmers
have to clo. He came to the relief of the
State, and it is within the knowledge of
all how the sheriffs of some of the counties
were imprisoned for attempting to
collect these back taxes. But he was at
length successful ana the railroads were
made to pay $203,000 into the State treasury.
Soon after his entrance into congress
he took up the matter of securing
the claim of Newberry college for $15,000
for injury to their building by the occupancy
of the Federal troops. This bill
had been pending for years, and its
friends had almost despaired of ever getting
it passed, but Latimer succeeded
where others had failed, and the college
got the money. He has been instrumental
in increasing the number of seed
packages from 3,000 to 15,000 in each district,
and thousands of fanners today
testify that the seeds are the best they
ever iiad; anil thousands upon thousands
of farm bulletins are distributed giving
the results of the work of the department
of agriculture.
But passing over some other matters
the greatest good that he has secured to
the people of his district is the establishment
of the rural free delivery of the
mails to the homes of the people. He
has never claimed to be the originator of
the system, but only to be one of the
first men to perceive the great benefit
there is in it and to give it a practical
application, and today there are 90 routes
in operation in his district at a salary of
$600 per carrier, bringing $54,000 annually
into the district and conferring vastly
improved mail facilities upon the people.
He Las introduced a Din, wmcn is now
pending, providing for 1,500,000 acres of
the public domain to be set apart for the
public schools of South Carolina. He
has now a corps of survej'ors in the State
instructed by the agricultural department
to make a soil survey of 1000 square miles
of territory to ascertain the constituent
elements of the soil with reference to its
adaptability to the production of crops.
He has also introduced an amendment to
the agricultural bill appropriating $150,000
for experiments in road making.
These matters are referred to to show the
practical lines along which he has been
working.
These are but a portion of the benefits
this farmer representative has secured
for his people, and lie comes'now asking
you to give him a wider tield for the display
of his usefulness.

A YOUXti LADY'S LIFE SAVED.
At Panama, Columbia, by Chamberlain'*
Tnlir. Cholera and Diar
rlioea Remedy.
Dr. Chas. IL Utter, a prominent physician,
of Panama, Columbia, in a recent
letter states: "Last March I had a patient
a young lady sixteen years of age, who
had a very" bad attack of dysentery.
Everything I prescribed for her proved
ineffectual and she was growing worse
every hour. Her parents were sure she
would die. She had become so weak
that she could not turn over in bed.
What to do at this critical moment was
a study for me, but I thought of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy and as a last resort prescribed it.
The most wonderful result was effected.
Within eight hours she was feeling much
better; inside of three days she was upon
her feet and at the end of one week was
entirely well." For sale by Bamberg

boy was poisoned by some weed
or plant," savs W. H. Dibble, of Sioux
City, la. "He rubbed the poison off his
hands into his eyes and for awhile we
were afraid he would lose his sight.
Finally a neighbor recommended DeWitt's
Witch Hazel Salve. The tirst application
helped him and in a few days
he was well as ever." For skin diseases,

A HENDERSON STRAW.
He Received a Flattering Vote on
the Tax Hoard.
South Carolina has a Stute hoard of
equalization made up of one representative
from each county in the State. This
board had a meeting in Columbia tin
other day, and after disposiug of the business
before them took a vote for United
States senator. The result was as follows:
Henderson. 17.
Hemphill, 3.
Elliott, 3.
Johnston, 3.
Latimer, 1.
Evans, 1.
Of course this board has nothing to do
with the selection of the United States
senator, but composed as it is of one from
each county in the State, the large majority
of Colonel Henderson is believed to be
significant. His friends are delighted at
the result of the poll of the State board of
equalization.

Editor The Bamberg Herald:?The
hot summer has dragged along at a slow
pace and the season of harvest is close
e>n hand. The exciting days of cam
paiguing will be over after awhile. The
choice of a Governor will be beyoni
speculation in due time. The people wil
decide the matter of choice to the inter
est of their S:;ate. This will be so because
the issues ha^e been well studied and the
men have shown their respective fitnes:
to govern a great people. There have
been a thousand or more details that have
at least settled down to a nucleus. The
manifested interest of the people ha:
not abated and the excitement of friend:
has approached the feeling that a crisi:
brings to expectations and longings. A1
this is well. It shows the purpose o
good citizenship and the protection the
individual throws around those ideal:
that approach nearest to his conceptior
of democracy. All will end well.
As you glance down the ticket there
will appear the lesser lights. You wil
find that in the waging of the battle yoi
forgot to study other men for whom yoi
must vote. As a professional.man, I an
interested in the election of the State
Superintendent of Education. Having
studied the questions confronting the
people and having tried them in the ca
pacity of a teacher, I must beg that Bam
.berg county give this phase of the comim
primary a very carelul consideration. I
must be classed as a high office, for it ap
peals to those inner feelings of a fatbei
to give his child the very best that the
State can afford. It is uot politics that ]
am discussing. It is not politics that wil
give to you the efficient State Superinteu
dent. Seek that man who can guarantee
to you the continuance of the progres:
that has been inaugurated in this State
for the past two years. Take up a hur
ried review and see for j'ourselves the
thot hoc hecn ilanp ftriH 1 hp flHvfin
?WWM IUU? ?
tages that Lave been placed at the doo
of your children. We have heretofon
pulled along without any special end ii
view and one part of the State was no
at all cognizant of the work that wa
being done in another part. T.aat day ha
passed and the State is forging togethe
a system that will in due time, if protect
ed, give to .lie people the efficient schoo
and the efficient teacher. These con
ditious are due to the energy and agges
siveness of the present Superintendent o
Education. Therefore, I am advocatin;
the re-election of Mr. McMahan becausi
I realize that the common schools of tin
State have already and will continue t(
receive his personal attention. Tin
Superintendents of the city schools in al
parts of the State have the utmost confi
dence in his ability and plans and havi
pledged to aid him in helping the countr
schools to catch pace with the towi
schools. It cannot be said that Mr. Mc
Malian has been an idle olfice holder
The charges are that he has acted, am
some believe that he has made a mistaki
and has worked hardships on the people
in the adoption of texts book s and thi ng
connected therewith. Below is a copy o
an unsolicited letter sent by Gov. Mc
Sweeney to Mr. McMahan which answer
the charges that are brought by his op
ponent an.1 friends. These letters wen
made public at the Kingstree meetin/
last Saturday. Governor McSweeney':
letter to members of State board reads a:
follows:
"In view of comments made in preseu
campaign in refereuce to adoption of tex
books I deem it but justice that we sigr
and 9end to the Hon. John J. McMahai
the enclosed statement of facts, to be usei
as he sees tit. I have signed one am
mailed it i;o him. I hope you will taki
the same view that I do and will sigi
statement, and forward it to Mr. Mc
Mahan. M. B. McSweeney,
"Governor and Chairman State Boart
of Education."
The letter addressed to Superintenden
McMahan reads as follows:
"In view of the uujust attcks madi
- r * U y. ~ A
upon you wuu reiereuce iu iuc auu|niui
of text books it is but justice that we, a:
members of the State board, responsibh
for the changes in the text books, conn
forward and make following statement:
"(1.) You are in no sense responsibh
for the appointment of the men who inad<
the adoption. The Governor exercised hi:
prerogative under the Constitution ant
appoiuted the seven members without re
gard to your preferences.
"(2.) You are not responsible for tin
changes made in the books. You strongly
opposed the adoption of some. A board o*
nine men selected the books by a majority
vote in such cases, aud no one man eoult
control the result or can have praise 01
blame for what was done. All acquiescec
loyally in the result and to you, as Stat<
Superintendent of Education, is due tin
credit that the uniformity of text books?
so much to be desired?has become a faci
and is not a dead letter.
"(3.) The country schools were in con
fusion from the great diversity of book;
that had been permitted."
The best teaching could not be done
when the teacher had to use any and ev
ery book that each pupil brought. There
fore an}' serious etfort to improve the
county schools necessarily involved great
changes in text books. After such changes
have been made aud the people have ae
quiesced it is uufortuuate for a candidate
for the high office of State Superintendent
of Education to come before the people
and try to make them dissatisfied with the
change that has already been made, that
cannot be undone, and that all intelligent
school men must know is for the betterment
of the work in the country schools.
4. It is false to say there "have been
frequent changes." The changes were
ordered in 1900, to take place November
15, 1901. The contract forbids any more
changes before July 1,1900, and there will
probably be little reason for many changes
then.
5. Although you were opposed to
some of the adoptions, you accepted the
result in good faith; and in the enforcement
of the use of the adopted books you
have done your full duty. Regardless of
the opposition you would incur you applied
yourself with determination to having
the law and the contract carried out.
| It is, therefore due chiefly to your efforts
' that South Carolina enjoys the lowest
price and exchange rates.
(Sigued) M. B. McSweeney.
In ivuiwrnsp to toe Governor's letter
Superintendent McMahan has received
pleasant and cordial letters on this line
from Dr. J. L. McCain, of Erskine College,
Prof. H. P. Archer, superintendent city
schools, of Charleston, and T. M. Ray so r,
now State Senator from Orangeburg?
members of the State board. Personal assurances
from three of the four other
members makes Mr. McMahan confident
of receiving similar letters from them.
Among these Mr. McMahan included
Prof. Cook, of Furmau University, where
Mr. Martin was educated.
Gov. McSweeney has agaiu shown his
ability as a guide of those principles of
true government and has given the public
(he opportunity of getting to the bottom
of a matter of contention that has
been beclouded all through 1 he campaign.
The Governor has thrown into the scale
of justice the nutshell in which the whole
trouble is embraced. The people can
; study the problem for themselves. The
' conclusion must be drawn that Mr. McMahau
has been the real protector of the
' schools. I respectfully ask the voters of
Bamberg countv to weigh these matters
with caution. It is not political desire
which prompts me to write thus, but real
sincere interest in the education of the
children of this county, which I am glad
to claim, after seven years happy stay
here among this progressive people. My
1 confidence in the present Supt. of Educa1
tion guarantees to me the greatest proi
gress to ail schools. Under his untiring
leadership I see in the near future better
" schools and better teachers. His wouder;
ful personality is felt in every quarter of
the State. If all conditions are carefully
studied it will be found that what seems
a hardship has been a blessing. Some
things seem at lirst glance to be erratic,
i but the work done is without atlaw. The
common schools are reaping the benefits.
' Let us support the aggressive work that
? has been done. Study the issues and act
( for the best interest of the children.
I do not wish to be placed as a campaigner
against Mr. Martin. He is a line
young man, I understand, and would be
a splendid man to place in this office if
there was actual necessity of it. If he is
elected it will take him four years to become
acquainted with the needs of the
State. In that time the reforms of the
; present hour will have been out of joint.
r The time will have come again to make a
; new* school adoption. If he has greater
" influence with the elected Governor he
3 will make other changes in the text
I books. I take his word for it, as he says
1 he is against some of the books on the
* present list. We have a good man at the
3 head of our educational system and let
3 us keep liim there. He is the best the
3 State has had these raauy years. South
3 Carolina is forging to the front in her
3 grand work of child education. The col3
lege presidents all over the South are
5 watching AIcMahan and wherever you
3 meet one the approbation of his work is
3 complete. Don't experiment with the
1 sacred prospects of the children of our
f magnificent commonwealth.
3 It is not the opposition I hold against
3 Mr. Martin but it is the interest I have in
1 the educational progress of my couuty
that prompts me to be? the voters of my
3 county to support Mr. McMahan. When1
ever I realize that Mr. McMahan has
1 served his day I will seek that character
1 that I know can do us better service. At
1 present, I have my serious doubts as to
3 another one being in the whole State who
s can do more for the schools or even as
3 much as is being done. Remember, it is
" not politics that prompts this appeal. It
" is my love for the children of my county
? and State.
1 Being in full touch with the educational
" reforms of the State, I am candid to say
r that the defeat of the preseut Superin3
teudent will be a great misfortune to the
t State, one that time alone can heal. Mr.
1 McMahan could have been less lo)ral to
* the schools and more inclined to the
3 whims of those who do not study the
3 problems confronting us, thereby gaining
3 the plaudits of those who are opposing
* him. He has chosen to go down in defeat
3 if necessary rather than compromise the
- advantages of the present hour. If South
r Carolina has au appreciation of the service
e let her show it. 1 hail with joy that man
1 who can live in spite of politics. Greatest
1 is he who can live because he has been
s standing on the principles of right.

[ OF INTENSE INTEREST TO FARMERS.
f How High Priced Beef and Cotton Seed
' Are Related
e
e The Texas Cotton Seed Crushers'
Association at a late meeting held In
Texas, passed a resolution confirming
that the high price of beef was due to
1 a shortage in seed products. The fol
lowing taken from the Cotton and
e Farm Journal, throws some light upon
y this subject:
! "The rules adopted by the Texas
Cotton Seed Crushers' Association puts
it in line with the other associations of
; a similar kind in the South. It is prob
1 able that there will be no more invase
ion of Mississippi and Alabama by
Texas mills in search of seed,
s "The cattlemen who were expected J
f here to expostulate over their alleged
. bad treatment during the past year
have not put in appearance as yet, and
may not. The crushers do not seem
concerned over the threat of some of
B the cattlemen to operate their own
? mills. The fact that the Swift Coms
pany has recently purchased half a
s dozen mills at different points was
not commented on by any of the crustily
ers to whom it was mentioned, save to
t the effect that Swift would probably
be able to use more feed than those
1 mills would provide.
1 "A resolution was adopted deprecat1
ing 'any act of congress that may tend
J to reduce the price of cattle and hogs,'
e and alleging that the present high
j price of meat is due 'to a shortage in
seed products.' "
This would seem to show there were
. two sides to this question of high beef
' and that in so far as Texas is concerned
the price of l.eef is bound to vary with
t the price of cotton seed hulls and cotton
seed meal. In proportion as the
g grass area of Texas has diminished,
j the cattle-raisers have been compelled
to buy feed stuffs, and the only available
feed-stuffs in quantity is cotton
i seed hulls and cotton seed meal. Hulls
' have been selling within the last year
or two in Texas as high as $14 a ton.
? This means that the meat supply in
; the future is largely dependent upon
s the cotton seed oil business, and that
j the people of the Southeastern States
will probably go much more extensively
into the bus ness of raising cattle for
beef purposes after they find out as
- much about the values of hulls and
' meal as the Texas cattle man has
f found out by the necessities of the
r case. It would seem as though the
j eastern^farmer now has the advantage
oi tne xexar in raising catue ror Deei
purposes and in handling cattle for
1 dairy purposes.
- All the cotton seed products that are
i needed for rattle raising and compe
tition with other markets can be had
t right at home through the Southern
Cotton Oil Company of the Carolinas
and Georgia through any of its mills
" or its headquarters at Columbia, S. C.,
4 Charlotte, N, C., Goldsboro, N. C., Atlanta,
Ca., Augusta, Ga., and Savani
