It looks a little like we might
be hearing the annual antumnal
equinoctial gale.
The State helped Ellerbe by
supporting him and helped Mc
Sweeney by fighting him. The
comparative value of its two
kinds of help is shown by the
fact that McSweeney won by a
much larger majortity than Ellerbe.?Columbia
Record.
There can no longer be any
doubt but that the dispensary
is in favor with the majority in
this State as well as in Lancaster
county, and now that Gov~
ernor McSweeney has been
elected upon the dispensary
platform, with no other issue
raised, he should turn his attention
to the enforcement of
that law. If it is necessary to
increase the constabulary force
to properly entorce tlio law it
should be done at once. The
dispensary law will be in favor
with the masses of the voters
only su long as it is properly
and rigidly enforced. There is
110 surer or better way to end
its career than to allow the law
to be openly and flagrantly
violated. We are aware that
some who charged the governor
with laxity in the enforcement
of the law will be the first to
condemn him for enforcing it.
But the law should be enforced
at all times and in all places,
regardless of who it pleases or
who it displeases.
Clean Record.
(Jov.McSweeney's record as the
chief executive of the State has
not been assailed, except as to
iiie eufOrcemeui uf the dispensary
law in a city where grand
juries refused to inflict these
charged with violations. In the
campaign he has bean fair and
square with every opponent. He
has sought to injure nobody's
good name. He has not by assertion,
or insinuation, assailed any
body's good name. And he comes
out of the campaign with no
smell of fire on his garments.
Having been so thoroughly endorsed
by the good people of
this State, he may be in the field
two years hence fer other honors.
Yarn Spinners Convene.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 13.?The
annual meeting of Southern Ho
siery Yarn Spinners' association
was held in this city today. The
main topic of discussion was the
price of the new cotton crop and
its probable effect on the yarn
market
A negro company of twentytwo

Damage to Cotton.
New York, Sept. 13.?News
Yelling of the state of the cotton
district in Texas continues to be
received by brokers in this city.
From all later acconnta the damage
will exceed all original estimates.
The storm devastated the
very richest part of the country,
not only ruining the growing
cotton, bnt damaging the earth
so that it may take years before
another crop can be grown on
the same land.

Several Hills in Augusta Shut
Down for a While.
Augusta, Ga., September 12.
?Owing to the present high
prico of cotton the announcement
is made that the cotton
mills will closedown. For the
past year or so since the price
of cotton was low, the cotton
mills have boon persistant bear.
Tlioy have bought only enough
to meet current demands. The
conseqnence is that the steadily
rising market finds them without
stocks of raw material and
the present price of cotton goods
too low to be manufactured from
high priced cotton. Accordingly
the Sibley and King, the two
largest factories here, have posted
notices that they will close
next Saturday, and the Langley
will go on half time. In the Sibley
mill about 800 operatives are
employed. Those in the King
mill number 1,050. In the Lang*
le^ m^ll which will begin work
on half time some day next week
not yet decided upon, there are
1,1 OOo oeratives. This will make
more than 3,000 operatives who
are directly affected by the shut
downs already decided upon,
although, as stated, the Lang-{
ley operatives will put in half
time. Other mills are non-committal
and say that they will
spin up the cottoa they haye
and trust to a fall in the price
or a rise in the price of goods
before the cotton gives out.
"If conditions remain unchanged,"
said President Verdery
of the Enterprise," the
mills nil nvpr tin* cnnnfrw will
? .J
have to shut down."
Comes from Dr. D. B. Cargile,
of Washita, I. T. He writes:
"Four bottles of Electic Bitters

which had caused her great suffering
for years. Terrible sores
would break cut on her head and
face, and the best doctors could
give no help ; but her cure is complete
and her health is excellent/'

proved,?that Electric Bitters is
