Saturday, August 11, 1900. * Bryan and Stevenson were officially notified of their nomination as president and vicepresident Wednesday in the city of Indianapolis. Mr. James II. Moon, one of the candidates for the office of at torney general has withdrawn from the campaign, leaving Gen eral Bellinger with a cinch on the office. The government crop report shows that the same conditions as to cotton exist in all the southern States. The crop is backward and has been injured everywhere, even in Texas. . The weather this week has been extremely warm, the mercury climbing high into the nineties. Its effect upon the crops has been very disastrous. Upland corn is ruined and all cotton, early and late, has been seriously damaged. Lancaster county should be represented at the wheat growers convention which meets at Green wood on the 15th?next Wedrjes day. So far as we are informed there is no one appointed to go ; bnt some of our farmers should vc!u!it66r. Home Suggestions to Prohibitionists. By One of Them. We think that it is entirelyclear as to the proper position of the prohibitionists in the present campaign. We have given the issue,?as it appears to us, and to some dozen or more leading prohibitionists with whom we have talktnl it over,?in our two former articles. Hut for the benefit of those who may not have seen these articles we will briefly capitulate. There is two classes of people fighting the dispensary. The aim o n/1 ot n oni?n f r? nti rn-? t U n t n ur <11111 niutrir kh iiuii , mat oppose tlie sale of whiskey in any form from christian principles. Then there is the exbarkeepers, old topers, blind tigers, and those that want whiskey in plenty, which is joined by the old Haskelite faction that is out and is using the liquor question as a Trojan horse to get into power again. At present our executive committee concede that we will not carry the legislature by a pood majority. Then under these conditions, # when politics have entered in and form the larger classes of our party can we afford to go on? These men that will vote for Col. Iloy t,not from principle, but policy, are so much in the majority that we will simply aid thorn to get a few offices. While we will have dealt our cause a blow that will wound it nigh unto death. Can we, when the issue has changed from dispensary vs. prohibition, to Tillman and reform vs. Gonzales and Local option, support either one of these factions as a party? We may from our principles and loose our identity as soon as we do. Tillman and the preachers are not measuring strength by any means as some would have us think?but Tillman and Gonzales are. Gonzales has grown, and his paper has develoned and increased its circulation till he thinks he has a good chance ol defeating his arch-enemy, Ben Tillman, or at least dealing the reform movement a severe blow that will finally overthrow it. You frequently see, but more often hear, slings at Clemson and Wiuthrop colleges from those who read and digest the articles from The State. Thus, when the fight has become purely one of politics, one of who shall in the future control the policy of South Carolina. Wo should not he led to do wnat we do not desire to do by tearing down, what wo have been able to build up, during the past decade. Watch the campaign and see if it doosn't take on more and more of the character of those of '92 and '94. "Tillmanite" and "anti" you frequently hear slip out, now and then, but they will be common enough before another governor i? elected in this State. Then the wise thing to ( o is to vote for men for the legislafnrn \trlw\ urn 1 i tri n iv \jk uv m iiv (?i v iir j v/iiii/ivivii ists, not those who profess tc be,?men who are tetotalers. Watch the issues and vote, if at all, for governor for the mar who represents your political principles, outside the liquoi question, for that issue is nol the real one, but is being used by the politicians to catch the unthinking and over-zealoiu prohibitionist s.

Heath {Springs," 'Aug. 10, 1000. ?Its ooine and its gone and we still survive. Tho crowd' that gathered to do honor to the veterans on yesterday was previous1 ly estimated at from 1200 lo 150Q 1 and they came iVom every quar> ter of the county while Kershaw, Chester, Fairfield, Darlington, . and Union county, North Car , olina, were all represented in this quiet and orderly assembly Which seemed to partake more of the ' nature ol a family reunion, than ? a public picuic. > There was some 120 veterans , that fell in line behind the ban, ner ol the Dixie camp which was ' borne by Mr. VV. U. Usher. It was certainly a pathetic scene to 1 see this company of gray headed mini wifli iliniiin.il vutiiru uiiil i hall in*; slep march once more in 1 company. It was hard to realize , that these were the men that tramped with Lee, that these bent forms once made the hills of Vir 1 ginia resound with their mighty i tread as they, young and vigorous. marched out to do battle lor their ( beloved southland. The tables were literally ladened with good things and the veterans marched inside the ropes > and every one Reemed to be char, ging the fortifications of good j things that the ladies had pro ( vided for them but the attack I being unsuccessful the "rebs" decided to retreat, which they did "decently and in order", carrying t their colors with them. I Then the crowd of friends and ? relatives gathered inside the . ropes and bringing out many more baskets they renewed the attack on the tables, which was successful, to a marked degree. The old soldiers said that this was the first picnic that they had been given since their march from Charleston to Virginia in 18fi5, they had had many re j unions, but not a sing!*1 picnic. 5 It was certainly a good oppor1 tunity for the candidates and not 1 a few ol these good fellows were ? on hand. s It was one of the largest, as well as one oi the nest henaveu " assemblies that lias ever been in our town.

Luke. 2 The picnic at. St. Luke on last r Wednesday was a grand success. '' The crowd began to gather early 1 and by 11 o'clock several hun * dred persons were on the ground. s A number of voting people path? ered in the church and engage 1 * in sinking led by tho organist. ^ The music was much enjoyed by ' all. About 12 o'clock Bro. C. J. L. Moody invited all Alliance s men present to go into toe school * house and attend a meeting ot r St. Luke Alliance. Several visit1 ing brethren came in with nearly * all the members of St. Luke 1 Alliance. The principle business before the Alliance was the election of officers for the ensuing " year. The election resulted as follows: Pres. L S. Porter; Vice President, .!. L. Adams; Sec. J. 1 S. Ilagins; Tres., .1. B. Harper; < Chaplain, W. A Bailey; Lecturer, " T. II. Duren; door keeper, J. K. a P. Mobley; assist door keeper, 11. * W. Harper; Trade Agent, A. J. * Bailey; Trustee Stockholder, \V. s H. K. Barton. 1 think I have f the officers right but this is taken y from memory. Several short talks were made in the Alliance and much enjoyed by all. St. Luke's is one of the best Alliance organ i izations in the county and we y would like to see more of our subs as much interested in A! liance work. After the Alliance 1 meeting we came out and found the ladies preparing dinner and I want to say, right herp, that the picnic was one of the best wc s ever enjoyed. Some ot the young people seemed to have a good ^ time and more of them were looking on as if they would like . to have a good time, qlso. A new . voting precinct has been cstab lisbed at Elgin, and alter dinner a number of us repaired to the school house and organized the Elgin Democratic club, and also prepared a club roll.- About seventy names were enrolled. We came home on the north bound Iraiu having spent a very enjoyable day. J. F. Nisbet. We again call the attention of those who expect to vote at Elgin, in the general olection in Nov., to the fact that it will be nec- ( essary for them to have their registration cirtiflcates changed to p that place.

"I had a severe attack of bilious * colic, got a bottle of Chamberlains'* Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, f| took two doses and was entirely cured," says Rev. A. A. Power, of Kmporia, Kan. "My neighbor across the street was sick for over a week, " had two or three bottles of medicine from the doctor. He used them for three or four days without relief, then called in another doctor who treated him for some days and gave him no relief, so discharged him. I went over to see him the next morning. He said his bowels were in a terrible fix, that they had been running off so long that it was almost bloody llux. I asked him if he had tried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and he said, 'No.' I went home and brought hi in iny bottle and gave him one dose; told him to take another dose in 15 or SO minutes if he did not find relief, hut hn Irtnlr nn mnrn nml ivah entirely cured."

Now. a few words about the "Congressional Race." Oh how uadly mistaken that lorKvitie correspondent is it lie really thinks Finley will carry Lancaster county in the coming election. It is exceedingly doubtful that he will have that "walkover" so easy. "S. B. J." certainly echoed the sentiments of so many in his recent communication relating to what the Yorkvillecorrespondent of the News and Courier had said. Those who know Dr. Strait and are acquainted with his true worth can only wonder that a single vote should be cast against him. Strictly temperate, kind hearted and charitable with a broad mind. Dr. Strait is fully t capable of representing the people and his many friends are very hopeful of his success. Sincerity. i Aug. 2. 1000. " Citation. II.. i Ik Tm.Aa 1/ -W.
