(’olumbia, July 25.—Stron'- presHure is being brought on Governor Hey ward to sav.> the life of Bob Smalls, ilie North Carolina youth sentenced to be hanged in Darlington on August :trd. for killing a negro. Todav a del egation of Darlington citizens ap- | neared before Governor H ■yward and nude eloquent pleas in the young man’s behalf. The governor took the matter under careful consideration and will doubtless announce his de cision within the next dav or two. It was a strong delegation repre sentative of the best in Darlington county. There were: State Senator Georg’e W. Brown. Mayor C. S. Mc Cullough. Mr. D. T. McKeithan. a leading lumberman who has the unanimous nomination of Darlington county to succeed Senator Brown, who is retiring: Sheriff J. C. Black- well, County Treasurer Howie, upon whose testimony, principally, Smalls was convicted: Representative J. C. Lawson, chairman of Darlington’s del egation in the house; Mr. W. W. Brit tain. who lives near Small’s homg in North Carolina: and Messrs. Tart, Abell and others of the convicting Jury. Through the many columns printed about the efforts to obt/ain a pardon f- >• Smalls, the public has been well costed as to the facts in the case and the pleas upon which the petitions for clemencv are based. The hoard of pardons has refused to recommend commutation of sentenre. but so strong is the feeling in Small’s behalf in Darlington that the delegation of prominent men above named came all the way to Columbia personally to plead with the governor, in the face ef their knowledge that it is not his custom to act contrary to the recom mendations of the hoard of pardons. SKIN ACNF TETT: E C 2 t m itching, bum- PSORIASIS, SALT RHEUM. There is nothing more distressing than an ing skin disease, and upon the return of warm weather those who are afflicted with skin troubles find the symptoms appear ing and know that they will be tormented through the hot summer months. The blood is heated with humors and acrid matter, and as they are forced to the surface the skin seems to be on fire. The treatment of skin diseases with exter nal applications is all wrong, because they do not reach the trouble whic h is in the blood. The most such treatment can be expected to do is, allay the itching and burning and cover up the trouble for awhile, but as soon as it is left off the disease returns. All food taken into the body contains, in so'ine form, the elements necessary to sustain the different parts. One portion is used for r - - - - r THE ITCHING WAS ALMOST UNBEARABLE. Dear Sirs—My body broke oat with a rash or eruption which in spite of all efforts to cure continued to get worse. The itching, especially at night, was simply terrible; it would almost disappear rt times, only to return worse than ever. I had tried many' highly recommended prepa rations without benefit, and hearing of S. S. S. determined to give it a fair trial, and was inexpressibly delighted when a few bottles cured me entirely, removing every blemish and pimpie from my body I shall not fail to rec ommend S. S. S. whenever an opportunity occurs to do so, Escondido, Cal. L. MARNO. The Only Semi-Weekly Newspaper in South Carolina At $1.00 CONGRESSMAN AIKEN TO WED. Will Marry Miss Adair Monroe Tay lor, of Louisville, Ky. Columbia. Julv 25.—An interesting announcement concerning Mr. Wyatt Aiken, representative in congress of the third district, appears in the pa pers of Louisville. Ky. Mr. Aiken is to be n ’ 1 to Miss Adair Monroe Taylor, of Louisville. Ky. There was a rumor to this effect in Washington just after the adjournment of con gress. but now the positive announce- j in'tit has been made by the young la dy's brother, Mr. Thomas H. Taylor, j <>*■ Ivouisville. The wedding will take nl tee in the First Presbyterian church of Louisville at an early date. Miss Taylor is well known in Ken tucky. being from one of the old j K ntuekv families which, before the j war. was wealthv. She is the young est daughter of Gen. Thomas Hart Taylor, who lived for many years in Frankfort. Ky., and was a general in the Confederate cavalry. He .and his wife who was Miss Adair Monroe, both dWl about six years aeo. since which time Miss Taylor has lived witli relatives in New Orleans and Washington. She is thus an orphan, and she comes to Mr. Aiken without .an/ treasure except herself, which, from all reports, is one of priceless value, for everywhere sue is known she is reputed to be a lovely Southern girl. Mr Aiken met Miss Taylor in Wash ington last winter, where she spent the season with her aunt. the making of blood, another for muscle, one for bone, still another for fat, and soon. After these different properties are ex tracted from the food there still remains a portion that is useless, or waste matter, which is intended to be disposed of through the natural channels of bodily waste, the Liver, Kidneys and Bowels. At this season of the year, however, these organs become torpid, dull and sluggish, and fail to perform this duty, and these accumulations remain in the system and are absorbed by the blood to ferment and sour, producing burning acids and acrid humors. The blood cannot properly nourish the system while in this impure condition, and begins to throw off these acids through the pores and glands of the skin, producing Acne, Bczema, Tetter, Psoriasis, Salt Rheum and skin diseases of every description. ECZEMA appears usually with a slight redness of the skin, followed by pustules from which there flows a stick}’ fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense. It is generally on the hack, breast, arms, legs and face, though other parts of the body may be afflicted. In TETTER the skin dries, cracks and bleeds, and is often very painful. The acid in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, causing a dry, feverish, hardened condition and giving it a leathery appearance. ACNE makes its appearance on the face in the form of pimples and black-heads, and is particularly disagreeable because of its unsightly appear ance, while PSORIASIS, a scaly disease, conies in patches on different parts of the body. One of the worst forms of skin disease is SALT RHEUM. It discharges a watery fluid, form- i ing sores and producing intense itching. The head and face are the parts usually affected, and sometimes the hair falls out and a mass of sores forms on the scalp. These and all skin diseases are due to the same cause—burning acids and humors in the blood, and until this vital fluid is cleansed and made pure they will continue. The best treatment for all skin diseases is S. S. S., a remedy that is purely vegetable, being made en tirely from roots, herbs and barks, and acts directly on the blood with a cleansing, healing effect. It neutralizes the acids and purifies the blood so that the skin, instead of being blistered and burned by the fiery fluids, is nourished by a supply of cooling, healthy blood. It goes down into the circulation and forces out every particle of waste or foreign matter, builds up the blood and cures all skin diseases promptly and permanently. S. S. S. does not leave the least par ticle of the poison for future outbreaks, but entirely rids the blood of the cause for all skin diseases. S. S. S. tones up the system and regulates the Liver, Kidneys and Bowels so that they will carry off the natural waste and refuse matter through the proper channels, instead of leaving it to be absorbed by the blood. Nothing equals S. S. S. in the treatment of these troubles and for building up the general health. Write for our treatise on skin diseases and any medical advice you wish.

Greensboro, July 25.—Dr. James Youns. of Mooresville. was in the city last niicht. having with him .a 15-year- old boy whom he was carrying to Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, for an operation. The boy when only three years old suffered a severe blow on the head, which rendered him senseless and helpless through the remaining 12 years of his life since then. This was caused by a bone pressing down on the brain. He was taken to the hospital to have the bone removed, in the hope that he ulti mately would be improved bv the operation. The boy is not at all re lated to Dr. Young, yet he is interest- e ’ to such an extent that he is bear ing all of the expenses of the trip, hoping that the young man may be restored to health. He was for a while in the Stokes Sanitarium at Salisbury, but it was decided that a difficult operation would be necessary and he was carried to Baltimore.
