We wish that, not only he but all pro-dis.- pensarv editors would change their views on the dispensary.—Gaffney Ledger. We agree with The Ledger. We would like to see everybody change against the dispensary, but we do not make any exception in the case of the General. There is no question if his right to change as often as he wants to. and there is no question of the fact that he has freely exercised that right ever since he has been in poli tics. which has been nearly all his life. We fail to see where we have been unkind in merely stating a very patent fact. Now, if we had gone on to suggest that the Intensity of Mr. Hemphill’s attitude on the dispensary question has alw’ays been proportion ed to the complexion of the State alone the same line, and that his present attitude is probably influenced by the closeness of the Senate, that might have been unkind. It would have been in the nature of an insin uation that the General was preparin'’’ bo hold his place as clerk of the Sen ate, both going and coming. But. then, we have not said anything like that.—YorkvlTe Enquirer. The esteemed Enquirer bakes our jesblng for seriousness. Now, would’nt it he funny to see “Uncle" Boh knock ing the dispensary? Still greater things than that have occurred, but nevertheless It would be amusing. CHAPTER ON FAKIRS. The Dally Mail had a good deal to say some time ago about the fakirs that constantly infest the communi- ity—every community, In fact. We exposed several varieties of them, and we believe that we accomplished some good. A fakir with a new game has teen in the city in the past few days, and The Spartanburg Journal announc es that it has become a member of the Associated Press. This is the world’s greatest newsgathering organization and its service will add to the worth of The Journal, which is already a f’ood paper, materially. • * * The Union Progress has just issued a verv creditable illustrated Indus trial enditlon. showing the manv ad vantages offered by our hustling neighbor.

Both have poor blood ; both need more fat. These diseases thrive on lean ness. Fat is the best means ol overcoming them; cod liver oil makes the best and healthiest fat and SCOTT’S EMULSION is the easiest and most effective form of cod liver oil. Here’s a natural order of things that shows why Scott’s Emulsion is of so much value in all cases of scrofula and consumption. More fat, more weight, more nourish- ment, that's why.
