So many people make the mistake of taking remedies which at best are only tonics and cannot possi bly reach their trouble. Mr. Asa Smith, Greencastlc, Indiana, says: “For years I hare suffered with Sciatic Rheuma tism, which the best physicians were uu- ablt to relieve. I took many patent medicines but they did not seem to reach my trouble. I gradually grew worse until I was un able to take my food or handle myself in any way; I was abso lutely helpless. Three bottles of S.S.S. re lieved me so that I »was soon able to move my right arm; before long I could walk across the r^om, and when I had finished one dozen bottles was cured completely and am as well as ever, I now weigh J70,” DO YOU WANT A NEW COUNTY PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.

G; MONTGOMERY, Prop.* It Will Be Held on Next Saturday at Your Voting Precinct and You Should Be Present to Help Push it. The move for a now county has been made and in a couple of weeks the campaign will warm up in good fashion. We have talked new county until wo have g >t everybody else to talking it and nearly everybody is in favor of it. A careful estimate places not more than 10 or Jo per cent, of the people in the proposed sections of Union, York and Spartanburg which are to be cut oil as opposed to the movement and we are confident that when these are made well acquainted with the fact that there is to be no additional taxation that at least one- half of them will come over. We are told that our sistert-ity, Blacksburg, will vote almost solidly for it. In portions of Union county which wc have vi.-ited we fail to find any opposition. Below wc print a circular issued by the town council. 11 speaks for itself. Let every man v. ho is interested at tend these meetings and take piut. let there be a free and full discussion of the question. There can no harm come from it. O'd county seat resi dents and newspapers will oppose it. You may look for that. But wc are old enough and strong enough to sup port ourselves and having attained our imij >rity our parents should set us aside an estate of our own and tell us to hustle for ourselves instead of endeavoring to detain us and make us support them. Of course we would not tliiuk of deserting the old folks altogether, hut as they are just in the prime of life, they are plenty able to takecureof themselves. Fol- lowln_ I EVANS IS VERY UNEASY.

He had sold a load of hay,to Amos Stacy and carried it over late in the afternoon, and while he was unloading it ho complained of having a hurting at his heart, hut after resting awhile said that ho felt all right, lie stayed at Mr. Stacy’s until 10 o’clock and then started for home. When found he was lying on his back with one handover his heart and the other grasping a pitchfork which lie was carrying. Two Doctors were summoned, who decided that it was heart trouble that caused his death, and consequently no inquest was held. Movements of People You Know and People You Don’t Know. Mrs. K. II. Schirmer and daughter, Miss Kmtna Lee, of Charleston, were in the city this week visiting their friends. Col. John L. Black was in the city this week on business. Mrs. Sallie Whitesides, of Hickory Grove was in the city last Tuesday visiting friends. Mrs. Whitesides was a student at Limestone in the fifties, and like all the students of that grand old institution, she lias fond memories of her aitmi mater. C. M. Daves, of Dysartsville, N. C., was in the city Friday and Satur day 011 business. He is a wide-awake country produce dealer and supplies our town witii such as he raises on Ins farm every time lie comes. J. Claud Jefferies, of Greenville, is visiting in the city this week. It. M. Jolly, of Grassy Fond, was in the city Monday. Dr. S. J. Sarratt went to Uucolet Monday. He returned Tuesday ac companied by his sister, Miss Inez, who has been visiting friends there for the past few days. Mrs. Dr. J. F. Garrett and sister, Miss Helen Brohonn, have been vis iting friends and relatives in Kings Mountain Hie past few days. Mrs. C. E. Itobertson left for Spart anburg last Tuesday afternoon. Rev. C. E. Robertson left on the midn'ght train for the same place. Mr. and Mrs. Robertson, we regret to learn, comtemplate making Spartanburg their future home. Should they do so Mr. Robertson will continue to preach here, coming down on the second and fourth Sabbaths. We I trust they will abandon the idea. 1 Gaffney needs them worse that Spart- ! anburg. R. 1. Howell, of Chambers county, j Alabama, is in this section visiting friends and relatives. Mr. Howell was formerly a resident of Union county, this state, hut left this State during the re-construction per hill. Samuel W. Melton, Jr., has ac cepted a position with S. B. Crawley A Co., as prescription clerk. Mr. Melton Is from Columbia and was in business in that city a number of years. He will he a splendid addi tion to Gaffney’s business and so cial circles and wo predict that he will not lie slow in winning friends in this thriving little city. Dr. Charley Lipscomb lias been making quite an extended profes sional visit to the country. Charley is up-to-date in his profession and gives it close attention. But if a game of ball gets across his path he goes riglit in and the team lie joins wins. One Union county team can certify to the above.

The Returns Are Slow in Coming in But Enough Precincts Heard From to Indicate a Sec ond Primary. lapcclal DUpiitcIi to The Lbdoek.| Comtmia, S. C., August 20.—Gov ernor Evans is not as easy today as he might be. The fact is he feels pretty certain that a second race is more than likely. He admitted as much this evening with the lights before him. Btale Chairman Tltomp- kins feels certain that there will be a second race for the Senate. This feeling prevails everywhere. The re turns comes in but slowly, very slowly, but still enough county pre cincts have come hi to show that Earle is making a remarkable race. Up to 2 o’clock today, partial returns have been received from nil the counties save Beaufort, Berkeley, Hampton, Horry, Pickens, Oconee and Williamsburg. The latter county, it is said, Eario will carry by a good majorit y. In the figures given below every precinct heard from is included and Evans is allowed a majority of 7o0 in Union county. The tabulation of these figures gives Earle 13.419, Evans 13,1(»8 an l Duncan 4,003. Thus accounting for u total vote up to date of 31.250, which is considered more than half of the vote polled. Most of the precincts not heard from are in the country and may give Evans a large enough vote to go in upon the first ballot, but judging from the way the figures run in the county precincts reported Earle will hold liis own sufficiently to prevent a (Dst ballot nominating. Greenville city and county have no returns in as yet lo amount to anything. That is Earl’s home and is about the only large town that lias not yet been heard from. It will be night before t lie returns will all be insufficient to get at I lie vote. With everything approaching com pleteness, at 2:30 p. m., a second race seems certain. Watts and Richhurg are villi running close but the former is taking a good lead,just now and will likely win. The race for Lieut. Governor is still very doubtful. There are no additional returns as yet so fur as the other races are concerned. There have been no additional returns up to this hour. k. J. w. TREASURER. Burton, 94; Epps, 202. ATPITOK.

Probably no man has used up more watch glasses aud brown paper in these experiments than Professor Fraser, so that there is not likely to be any mis take about it. Any number of daatb dealers have had the papered watch glass presented to their fangs. Every one •f these receptacles has had its fill of *‘cloudy, watery fluid, somewhat vis cid,” which, scientifically evaporated, has produced its modicum of “brittle, yellowish deposit. ” Moistened with a little water or glycerin, when required for use, this deposit, ‘‘unalterable in character,” bus 1kh*i introduced into the system of the lower animals, from the frog to the horse, and now the horse has been made as immune to snake poi son as Roux's horse is to diphtheria. The immunity of the human animal from the effects of snake poison thus scorns assun<d. But this is not all. A lady has been discovered at Lahore, who, having made herself immune without the horse, simply cannot do without the luxury of a snake bite ones a month.

A good deal of excitement was oc casioned lust friday afternoon by tiie report that a man hud been thrown from a horse and killed near Surratt’s mill. A trowd quickly gathered at J. I. Sarrult’s mill and gin in the western section of the city only to find that the accident hud occured at Prof. Robt. Surratt's mill about four miles north of the city. It developed that a Mr. Spencer, the miller, had been thrown from a horse and had sustained a dislocation of Mu iOul- dor. The injured man is lu^orted as getting along very well.

As far as heard from it appears that the primary in this county passed off quietly. There seems to have been a very small vote cast, which shows that our people are tired of so much politics. Wo arc unable to get returns at this writing, but from par tial returns the indications arc that Evans and Duncan will lead for the United States Senate, -Ellerbe for Governor, McSweeny for Lt. Govern or; Thompkins, Norton, and Barber are re-elected, as are also Timmer man and Robinson, for Superintend- ant of Education, Watts for Adgt. Gen’h, and Welborn. It is close be tween Johnson and Wilborn for Con gress in the fourth district. Archer seems lo be ahead for State Aenate with Simpson leading everybody for Solicitor. For House of Representa tives Austell and Layton ure probably elected. Barry, Camp, Johnson, Miles and Chapman arc close. It also seems that Dean, Trimmier, Ep ton and Epps ure re-elected to their old offices, also School Commissioner. Chapman.
