Is a blood disease and only a blood reme
dy can cure it. 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,”

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

altogether, hut as they are just in

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.

EARLE RUNNING HIM UNCOM
FORTABLY CLOSE.
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.

rormed the "Snakn Dlt« Habit.’*
The results of the long scries of ex
perimental observations upon snake bite
which Professor Fraser, the great Indian
authority, has been conducting go to
show that we are within measurable
distance of a time when the thanato-
phidian will not merely cease to justify
its name, hut when its bite will be
come one of the luxuries of life.
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. As a delight it appears to
boat morphia injections out of sight,
and to be at*e«ded in the imnsuno per
son with directly beneflcial consequMwcs
to goneml health hwidos. The “mulct
habit” seems dctthiad to oust the other
altogether.—Pall Mall Gazette.

bad It was not saf* for mo to po out alone,
as dizzy spells would cause fallinff. I had
severe palpitation, shortness of breath and
sudden pains that rendered me helpless. All
physicians did for me was to advise koepiug
quiet. In August last I commenced taking
Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure,
and before I had finished tho first bottle I
found tho medicine was a God-scud. I have
now used four bottles fn all and am feeling
