THE GREAT DAY
DRAWS NIGH!
The Two Senators Will Be in
Gafin^Joanffrow. -
JOINT DEBATE PROBABTE
Tillman Think* Mcl.anrlu la Afraid of
Ulm, While McLanrlu Declare* That He
Year* no One—Speaking In Court House
■leglu* at 1X:30 Tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the day that the
great political gun is to be tired in
Cherokee county. The interest in
the meeting here is attracting no lit
tle attention throughout South Car-
lina, and even our neighbors are be
coming concerned in the matter. It
is a settled fact that both Senators
McLaurin and Tillman will be here,
and it Is more than probable that
there will be a joint debate, as the
probabilities favor one. Senator
Tillman feels that Senator McLaurin
is afraid of him, while Senator Mc-
J,Hiirin declares his independence of
any man and avows that he fears no
one. And thus the matter stands.
There is but one proper course for
anyone to pursue, and that is to go
bear both aides of the argument.
Give both that careful consideration
due weighty matters and then make
\ip your mind to do what your better
judgment tells you is for the best in-
tereat-of yourself and those associated
with you, having due regard for the
welfare of all. The speaking will
take place at the court house, com
mencing at 12:30, and every effort
will be made to accommodate all those
who desire to attend. A cordial in
vitation is extended the ladies to be
present and it is hoped that quite a
number will be present. The beat of
order will be maintAlncd. Senators
'liiiman and McLaurin both make
the request that their friends will be
courteous and that they will indulge
in no bulldozing tactics. The Ledger
has the assurance of the friends of
both that the meeting will be con
ducted upon the highest piano. Sena
tor McLaurin will speak first, Sena
tor Tillman next and Senator Mc
Laurin to have the reply. The Led
ger is a newspaper first, last and ali
the time, therefore' it refrains from
expressing an opinion in its locil col
umns further than to say that it has
a perfect abhorenco of politics upon
the common ground that only those
are benefitted who receive the offices
and that it creates strife and bitter
ness between people who otherwise
would be friendly and congenial.
And yet it becomes the duty of every
true citizen to assume the responsi
bility of government and he can only
do that by doing bis duty. Let all
who can, go out to hear the speaking,
but ^bove all bridle your tongues af
ter it ib over and let each man make
□p bis own mind without the aid and
consent of petty politician whoso
only interest is to get a political job.

THE MAYOR’S COURT.
A Drunk or Two, Train Heating and Scrap
es ping Match on the Docket.
Business sterns to be picking up a
little at the city’s seat of justice;
but the chaingang has not received
any benefit from the recent trans
actions, insomuch as the business
was strictly cash.
A drunk or two constituted the
docket for the week up to yesterday
morning, at which time a change
came over the spirit of the proceed
ings and a scrapping match came up
for the consideration of Mayor Little-,
John. Mose Mashaw and his wife
and John Williams and his wife, ail
colored, had a slight raixup Wednes
day evening in which nothing more
serious occurred than some loud
talking and a few bloody threats on
each side to do certain impossible
things provided certain other impos
sible things were resorted to by the
other side.
It developed in the course of the
hearing that the trouble was all on
account of an obsetreperous and
unregenerated colored youth, a step
son of John Williams, who no doubt
needed more “chastising” than he
was physically able to bear, but whose
grandmother, Trueiove Mashaw,
streunously objected to his being
“chastised”—so John claimed. An
attempt on the part of John’s mother
to take him from the home of his
devoted and considerate grandmother
was the bsginning of the row which
followed.
As no one was hurt, and as one
side seemed to be about as much at
fault as the other, the mayor dis
missed the case—and John escaped
the “chastising.”
The last case on docket was against
a colored sport far beating a train on
the Southern railroad, or for stealing
a ride on the train. He was fined
one dollar or five days on the gang.
He paid the dollar.^
Biliousness is a condition charac
terized by a disturbance of the diges
tive organs. The stomach is debili
tated , the liver torpid, the bowels
constipated. There is a loathing of
food, pains in the bowels, dizziness,
coated tongue and vomiting, first of
the undigested or partly digested food
and then of bile. Chamberlain’s
Stomach and Liver Tablets allay the
disturbances of the stomach and
create a healthy appetite. They also
tone up the liver to a heathy action
and regulate the bowels. Try them
and you are certain to be much
pleased with the result. For sale by
Cherokee Drug Co.

generally likes to have a voice in the
planning.
