A SWEET BREATH
is a never failing sign of a healthy stomach;
When the breath is bad the stomach ,
is out of order. There is no remedy in the
world equal to Kodol Dyspepsia Cure for ,
curing indigestion, dyspepsia and stomach
disorders. Mrs. Mary S. Crick, of
White Plains, Ky., writes: "I have been
a dyspeptic for years; tried all kinds of J
remedies but continued to grow worse.
By the use of Kodol I began to improve
at once, and after taking a few bottles
am fully restored in weight, health and
strength and can eat whatever I like."
Kodol digests what you eat and makes 1
the stomach sweet. Sold by Dr. H. F. !

BREVITIES FROM BRANCHV1LLE.
County Campaign Meeting?Baseball?Municipal
Improvements.
Branchville, August 2.?The county
campaign meeting was held here in the
town hall. Each speaker, even if asking
for the humblest office, was given the
closest attention. There was no backbiting
or mud slinging as in former years,
but every candidate was seeking the office
on his own merits.
Hon. A. F. Lever, congressman from
this district, gave an account of his stewardship
and in doing so urged upon the
Democratic voters the importance of going
to the polls on general election day
and casting their ballots for the Democratic
candidate, so as to avoid a repetition
of another white-negro contest. The
only disturbance was on the outside,
caused by a chase for a twentieth century
negro with a pistol in one hand and gun
in another, who attempted a few nights
ago to murder a white man at Cordova.
He was finally apprehended and placed
in the lockup.
In the afternoon there was an interesting
game of baseball between Orangeburg
and the home team. The fans were
out in large numbers, both teams having
an enthusiastic band of rooters. The result
of the score was Branchville 4. and
Orangeburg 3. This makes three successive
victories for the local team, they
having won two games from Bamberg
last week. The batteries were: Branchville,
Fairey and Pearlstine; Orangeburg;
Sorentrue and Sorentrue.
The town authorities are expending
large sums of money in improving the
general appearance and condition of
the town. Terra cotta piping is supplanting
the old open ditches and now with a
good sewerage system and ever}' household
having deep artesian water the health
of the town is in excellent condition,
malarial fever being practically unknown.
Crops in this section are in excellent
condition, and if the weather continues
favorable this month the farmers and all
concerned will be contented, provided
they obtain a fair remuneration for their
products.
This town is on a building boom. Many
comfortable dwellings are being erected
so as to meet the demands of an ever increasing
population.
Work on the handsome new Methodist
church is progressing slowly and the

able to worship in their new edifice as
early as expected.
A SUMMER COLD.
A summer cold is not only annoying
but if not relieved pneumonia will be the
result by fall. One Minute Cough Cure
clears the phlegm, draws out the inflammation,
heals, soothes and strengthens
the lungs and bronchial tubes. One Minute
Cough Cure is an ideal remedy for
children. It is pleasant to the taste and
harmless. A cure for croup, cough and
cold. Sold by Dr. H. F. Hoover.
CANTALOUPES PAID WELL
Watermelons Were a Good Crop and Cotton Outlook
is Fine.
Blackyille, Aug. 4.?The cantaloupe
Qrop here is now all about shipped. About
170 cars were shipped this season and the
quality was the best ever made here. The
price ranged from 25 cents to $3 a crate.
Cantaloupe planting here has come to
stay. It makes quite a busy month as it
gives everybody employment, men, women
and children, with pay at from 75
cents to $2 per day. The watermelon
crop was also very good and sold for
very fair prices. The cotton crop here is
unquestionably the best ever made. The
merchants are putting in very heavy
stocks of goods and the local cotton buyers
are determined this season to nav the
highest price for cotton possible and make
it interesting for all farmers to sell their
cotton here.
Mr. Fred Damish, of Williston, will
move his stock of goods here in a few
days and open up a mercantile business.
Mr. L. B. Ailing, manager of the Palmetto
knitting mill heie, has made quite
a success and has decided to enlarge his
mill.

Tuesday.

Stabbed by a Negro.
Spartanburg, a u, Aug y.?Anuur
Shockley, a well known young white
man of this city, was stabbed and seriously
injured last night while in a fight with
a negro hackman named Ed Sanders.
The negro used a pocket knife and inflicted
a wound in Mr Shockley's head an
inch and a half below the left ear, and
scraping the blade against the man's
head gashed the artery of the left temple.
Prompt medical attendance relieved the
wounded man and to-day he is getting
along nicely. The negro is in the county
jail pending an investigation.
DeWITT IS THE NAME.
When you go to buy Witch Hazel Salve
look for the name De vVitt on every box.
The unadulterated witch hazel is used in
making DeWitt's "Witch Hazel Salve,
which is the best salve in the world for
cuts, burns, bruises, boils, eczema and
piles. The popularity of DeWitt's Witch
Hazel Salve, due to its many cures, has
caused worthless counterfeits to be placed
on the market. The genuine bears the
name E. C. DeWitt & Co. Chicago. Sold

SOME INTERESTING HAPPENINGS
IN VARIOUS SECTIONS.
News Items Gathered All Around
the County and Elsewhere.
Country Correspondence.
The heretofore dry spell has been permanently
broken by the rainy season, so
to speak, and again the face of the farmer
is drawn in long lines, as the fodder is
sroing to decay by the continued rain.
Mr H H Hill and family, of Sanford,
Fla, visited relatives and friends in our
midst Sunday and Monday.
Miss Pearl Sandifer returned home Saturday,
after a week's pleasant visit to Miss
Kathleen Chisolm at Colston.
Miss Edna Stokes, a charming young
lady of Walterboro; was a guest in our
midst Sunday and Monday. She will accompany
Mr Hill's family to Florida for
the winter season.
Your humble scribe visited relatives and
friends at Colston last week, incidentally
attending the protracted services at that
place. Rev T J Sandiffer, assisted by Revs
J H Stoudenmire and S P Chisolm,
preached some eloquent sermons and as a
reward for their diligent work twenty or
more names were added to the membership
of the church.
The meeting was a continuation of
pleasure and plain. The former was made
manifest by the entertainment, both at
church and at home, as the Colston folks
are a happy, jolly, and hospitable people
and know well how to satisfy the hungry.
The latter was made manifest by sickness
and death, as so many in that neighborhood
were and are lying on beds of affliction,
and on last Monday morning at 9
o'clock the angel of death, who has been
hovering so closely around the form of
Mr Ben F Brown, came and claimed him
for its own. His health has been on the
decline for a number of years, and for the
last two months or more his many friends
have felt quite anxious about him. He
passed away at the home of his grandmother,
at Colston, having come therefor
medical attention from his brother-in-law,
Dr Ed Kirkland. Ben numbered his
friends by the score, as was clearly shown
by the visitors who lingered at his bedside
and the many who paid the last tribute
of respect'on Tuesday morning at
Bethesda, where he was laid to rest by his
wife, who went before three years ago.
The funeral was preached by Rev J H
Stoudenmire, as his pastor, Rev S P
Chisolm, was sick, and the Knights of
Pythias of Ehrhardt took charge of the
service at the grave, where he was laid to
rest under Pythian honors. He was a
young man of about twenty-seven years,
and leaves a widowed mother and a sister,
Mrs Kirkland, to mourn his death, and
scores of friends and relatives to sympathize
with them. May they realize that
He doeth all things wisely.
Mr W G Folk, of Clear, Pond, has organized
a singing school at Spring Branch
We understand that later on he is to conduct
a Sunday-school at the same place.
The entire family of Mr John Strong
have typhoid fever.
DrW A Hanberry, of Denmark, visited
his niece, Mrs 0 P Jordan, Saturday.
Mr and Mrs N J Padgett, of Spring
Branch, spent Saturday and Sunday with
their mother, Mrs Julia Sandifer, of this
vicinity. '
We return many thanks to Supervisor
Bruce and Overseer C K Smoak for cutting
out the hedge row on Lemon Swamp
crossing.
The protracted meetings, picnics, fish
fries, etc, are about passed and there's
nothing left for the country folks in the
line of amusement to do. So I guess the
men folks can kill time by eating melons,
watching the clouds, etc, while the ladies
have to can fruit and vegetables and lament
over the hot weather and soiled
dresses that they have as souvenirs of
recent rains, etc.
Colston Dots.
Colston, August 9.?The protracted
meeting held at Colston last week was a
grand success in every way. Nineteen Dew

one sister, and a host of friends, to whom
we extend our sympathy.
Miss Pearl Sandifer has returned home
after spending a few days with Miss Kathline
Chisolm, of this section.

Allendale, August2.?For two weeks
copious showers have fallen and crops

said that two of Allendale's most popular
girls are going to take that important ,'i*.
step in September. Some say they are ;

have members of the crew wait upon him
and Mr. Gifford was called and consulted. .

form of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera, and
Diarrhoea Remedy that he thought would
help him and several doses were adminis- *
tered with the result that the fellow waa V'Ja
able to be around next day. The incident
speaks quite highly of Mr. Gilford's
medicines.?Elkader, Iowa, Argus.
