The Timely Rescue of h LiMl*

The Charleston Poet, of Thursday
says Nancy Juno MoAtocr, a young
whito girl, aged 10 years, whoso homo
is in Chester, S. C.. was Thursday
morning taken out of F. Capers' rostaurant
on Market street by the polioo.
Tho girl had fccon placed thoro by
Robert Sumner, a Mind whito man, who
was fined in tho Recorders' Court on
the ohargo of being drank and for lar
ceny < f oloihing trom Anna Stewart,
111 Cum) erland street.
Tho place kept by Caper.', who is a
negro, is a notorious divo, and is in tho
vory heart of the toughest and most
wicked section of Market s'reet. It is
frequented by ?11 sorts of vile men and
women and is no place for a young
whito girl. Capers has frequently been
before tho grand )ur\ on the charge of
selling liquor ai d has also appeared be
fore tho Recorder on the ohargo of
keeping a gambling dive
As soon as it bcoAtne known at polioo
headquarters that the MeAtcer girl was
living in this notorious resort, Lit ut
Dunn, the olfioer of the day, sent at
officer to the placo and lnd her brought
to tho station house. She seemed glad
to get out of the place and expressed a

bo eared for by the Florence Crittenton
Homo, as Mies Tharin, tho matron of
that institution, has const ntcd to take
charge of tho girl while arrangements
are being made to havo hor roturncd to
her pooplo. Sho was sont to the Crit
tonton II* me.
Tho ohiId was scon at the police si a
tion shortly before being sont to tho
Grittenton lloino. Sho is a blue oyod,
flaxen-haired girl, and is exceedingly
bright for a ohild of hor years.
Sho told tho story of how sho oamo to
bo in Charleston in a plain, straightforward,
child-liko manner. Frtquontly
sho would hurst into toars and express
a wish to roturn to her mothor and
father in Chester.
Sho came luro last Friday wi?h Sumnor,
a blind mau, 10 lead hiui ?Lui the

twonty-fivo oents a day and hoard. She

Robert Sumnors statod that ho had

Whon asked why he carried tto MoAtoer

A dish of j> Okies, a sick woman, a

Politioal partios under our form of
government are a nrc'ssity. They
grow out of tho political relations
Htabli-hod by tho government itsr If.
There have been hin, o tho birth of tho
nation and alaays will bo two treat
political parties, if ihero w r#? no rial
ib-uc? tdey would divido and fight ov r
the m ro spoils of tffi 'O. Th ? d ff r
enjes originated in tho diverse views
entertained when our Oonsiitution was
adopted as to what constiiutcd tho pro
per functions of the government.
Party platforms havo always be n
supposed to bo tho exponents of those
views. A bloody Civil war tied tho
qu stion of State's righis and for a
qua ter of a century tho waviug of the
"blood shirt" on tho ono eido and tho
"nigger iu tho wor d pilo' on tho otiier
constituted the dividing linen. I say
that ovorv man, on a purely scetional
question, liko whito supremacy, is a
traitor aiid a renegade who does uo?
stand by hia own soolion and his own
poodle. I aay that any man, on domestic
probloma, probloma of internal
oonoern, should, as far a< pondiblo,
bow to the bohests of hia party. If ho
oannot agreo with his party on questions
of this kind, he should, if possi
ble, find a party with whioh ho ia in
aooord. I assert, fellow oiuzons, that
it is almost a orimo for any party to
make groat, broad, non-politioal Amorioan
measures, involving the politioal
and ooinmeroial development of the
i nation, the test of party fealty. Isa

and tho iceroaso in bauking faoilitics,
for tho tiuio at loast, have svttlod tho
money question, aud nobody but a fool
would mako a "froc silvor" Hpoooh now.
I nstoad of a dopleted treasury, thero
is in it to day tho largest amount of
gold in tho history of the country, aud
actually tho Secretary of tho Treasury,
a few weeks ago, deposited raonoy in a
Spartanburg bank, something that has
never boon dono before in tho history of

because L was instrumental in beginning
a movement whioh 1 hopo in tho futuro
may cnablo our farmers and mcrohants

Auothor groat ohango as tho result of
tho panic of 180'd, is tho rapid development
of our oxport trado. Cur homo
ma<kots failed us, manufacturers found
thomsolves with immenso stooks of
goods on hand and nobody to buy thorn,
this forced them to sock markots abroad,
and ono cnteri rising Grm in Birmingham,
Ala., shipped 250 ton of iron to
fturopo. At. that timo iron oouid bo
bought for $6.00 per ton in Birmingham
and this small shipment six voars ago
was tho beginning of tho 1180,000,000
worth of iron that wo shipped abroad
last joar, 800,000 tons going from Alabama.
To day, cntiro Europo is alarmod at
tho dovolopomont of our commerce, and
wo boo overy day indications of a trado
oombino on tho part of Muropo against
the United Htatos. In tho tinanoial
world, instead of do ponding upon Euro
po 19 wo did povon yoars ago for our
money, England, Gormany and liussia
have rooontly had tocoino to Now York
to placo their government loans. I havo
givon nothing but a mcro outline, and
)Ot I ask any man within tho sound of
my voico if thoso faots do not prosont a
totally ohanged oonditioo. Tho Spanish
war suddenly awoke us to tho fact that
our country was ono of tho groat oommoroial

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
Something New Under the SunAll
Doctors have tried to cure CATARRH
by the uso of powders, aoid gases, inhalers
and drugs in paste form. Their powders dry
up the ruueuons membranes causing them to
crack open and bleed. The powerful aoids
used in the inhalers have entirely eaten away
the same membranes that their makers have
aimed to cure, while pastes and ointments
cannot reach the disease. An old and experienced
practioner who has for many years
made a close study and specialty of the treatment
of OA I'A KKH, has at last perfected a
Treatment which when faithfully used, not
only reliefer at once, but permanently cures
CAT \Kltll, by removing the causa, stopping
