Thursday, Oct. 27,1904 n ' Saluda juries are setting an example for the rest of the State. It is pleasing to note in this connection the good work of i Editor Cargile in behalf of law and order. ? kt ? * We would like to know where is the authority for lawyers asking for special terms of court or for their requests being granted. It would seem that the people !who pay the taxes and bear the expense of these extra terms should have some voice in the matter. Just as we were feeling utterly discouraged and disheartened, comes the conviction in Saluda county, the arrest of the Eutawville lynchers, and a true bill against a "boodle" alderman. These things make us feel better and give renewed faith for continuing the crusade against lawlessness. While Governor Heyward was pardon Iing Hoyt Hayes with one hand, he was giving the Eutawviile lynchers trouble with the other. The governor and solicv , itor are proceeding in this matter with a firm hand, and deserve the well-done of all law-abiding citizens. Let us all endeavor to hold up their hands in the performance of an unpleasant duty. The Newberry Herald and News wants some reason given why Mr. Chief Justice Y. J. Pope should be rotated out of office after holding on for about fifteen years. The greatest reason we can assign for making a change is that the chief justice is not competent for the position he holds. & That he is a very weak man no one can deny, and we have heard lawyers from r many sections of the State comment on his lack of ability. r In his speech at Gaffney last Saturday, Senator Tillman said he knew of no law for beer dispensaries. This being so, they should be abolished at once. But it looks as if the present management of the State dispensary is for the revenue feature mainly, little attention being paid to the idea of decreasing the sale and use of intoxicants. It gets plainer every day that some changes must be made if the dispensary system is to be continued. Senator Tillman spoke in Gaffney last Saturday od the dispensary. He was inr. vited there to speak, as an election is soon f-' to be held in that county on the question P,'v of voting out the county dispensaries, and tv' friends of the system were afraid the eleci&! tion would be a victory for the anti-dispensary people. Therefore they invited (Pjfc,.; the Senator to come and round up the ||r - faithful. The Senator discussed the charg' es of rottenness and corruption and said ?&" the present State board of control should be done away with. #fv:. A numerously signed petition has been presented to the county Democratic exe|vJ cutive committee of Greenville, asking that another primary be held to decide p^v ,who is the nominee of the party for suRrt pervisor of that county. It is not known - at this writing what course the committee fey will pursue, but it is likely that the pripvf mary will be ordered. This seems to be EV the best way of clearing up the muddle, for without this it seems certain that there jaf . . will be a contest at the general election. K>.;; However, no great harm could come of i&r. this, as the negro is out of politics, but it ? ' is best to settle all contests inside the party. ?r> - Editor John W. Holmes, of the Barn!p| well People, usually knows what he is "talking about, but his recent editorial in |jv reference to draining the lowlands of Bamjjf ' - berg county shows that?with' all due respect to him?he doesn't know what he p/ is discussing. Brother Holmes says that ;v. r lowlands are no good after a few years for farming purposes after being drained J """a in tlio nld oniinfr tn i,#: 2H1U V/ltUd ULLC l/AOC 111 lUV VAU WUUVJ vv V sustain his assertion. He says that we of Bamberg county should have our lowlands drained for health purposes only; that these drained lands give out after bep*~' ing farmed for a few years. If he will come down here we will show him drained lowlands which have been planted for many years and fine crops are now growing thereon. In fact some of these low j| lands make as fine cotton and corn as is raised in this section. Really, after a residence in the county for so many years, the ignorance of the Barnwell brother is ^ ' almost inexcusable. Biennial sessions will take several ^ dollars out of our pocket and out of the pockets of many other newspapers, but they will put many other dollars in the pockets of the taxpayers, as a class; and L:..- . therefore.putting aside personal considerations we shall vote for the change. If biennal sessions should prove a failure the people may be relied upon to make K\ another change by which annual sessions may be revived. Vote as you please, gentlemen, but don't kick against the * -' final result. C 1 Bftr' r-/o. " V' Butcher?I need a boy about your size, and will pay you $3 per week.

Indigestion causes Catarrh of the Stomach. For many years it has been supposed that Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re* peated attacks of Indigestion Inflames the mucous membranes lining the stomach and exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus causing the glands to secrete mucin instead of the Juices of natural digestion. This Is called Catarrh of the Stomach. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure relieves all inflammation of the mucous membranes lining the stomach, protects the nerves, and cures bad breath, sour risings, a sense of fullness after eating, indigestion, dyspepsia and all stomach troubles.
