And a freo pass, adds the average statesman. The Florence Times declares that it was "conscientiously" opposed to Hampton for the United Muten Senate.

Tho Sumter Freeman "appre hends" that tho towns competing: for the location of the State School for women are mindful only of their own welfare and "totally for getful of tho equal Interest of all counties and towns in tho state in this s.jhool." The Freeman- wants the school placed in Columbia because it Is tho capital and center of the state. Tho attention of the Freeman is called to tho fact that the school will be established for the conven ience of white people alone and that Abbeville or Laurens, for in stance, are much nearer to the cen ter of the white population of South Carolina than Columbia. The Freeman excuses itself for not having made its appeal before on the ground that it has only had an existence of four weeks. Its dul ness of apprehension is excusable on tho same plea and it is advised . to cease yelping, at least till it gets its eyes open. Shall This Stute bo Represented at Chicago, Shall this State be represented at the Chicago Fair is tho live ques tion at this moment? The indica tions are now that it will be the mammoth exhibition of the centu ry; and communities who mean progress and advancement will embrace the occasion to ad vertise the world of their natu? ral advantages and attractions. Georgia and Alabama, our younger sisters, rich and gorgeous in them selves, will be there, showing forth their multitudinous possibilities for development and making happy homes. Virginia and North Caro lina will be thore from their spruce capped cliffs to the Westward, even unto the cypress clad low lands in the East that sigh to the mad waves that beat upon their shores. Let our old State be there. In her Western hills she has iron and gold bearing rocks; all through her bor ders her kaolin and precious clays await the skilful fingers of the artist (o mould them into forms of beauty; her phosphate beds have slept for thousands of years and await the talismanic touch of capital to manipulate them for the exhaus ted fields of the earth; her roaring waters pour from the mountains over tho everlasting rocks and wait the wheels of the mills to obstruct their laughing rush to the seas; the monarch oak, tho walnut, the pop ular, the majestic and graceful pine and the sad cypress cloths with wealth and grace her mountain "sides and wave beaten shores. Those are her natural advantages and the graces that adorn her, sim plex mundtoia. Art has done much; cotton, silk, tobacco, sugar, tea and all the cereals in her wide domain respond generously to man's efforts* tho touch of skill and Industry. Let US bo there then ; let US advertise ail these; we are too few to enjoy them, too fow to develop them to even liliputian proportions. Then let us bo the:o wtth nil these signs. This State is one of the original thirteen; sho is mother to Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Toxas Ar kansas, and Florida. Of the origi nal thirteen South Carolina is the Van Winkle?and Is tho very poor est. Lat not the close of lho cen tury point her out as n laggard. Now is her opportunity.

Let us get ready for Chicago. The stranger passing through fair South Caro lina to-day writes us down?"neg lected spot."

ANNKXATIOX WITH ALABAMA. A Bill Introduced In the Florida l** l h lu t ore to Cede West Florid* to . ?hat Hinte. Jacksonville Fla., May 18.?A Tal lahassee special to the Times-Un ion says: "In . the Senate to-day Senator Brett of Holmes county offered a Joint resolution providing for the appointment by the Gover nor of throe commissioners to meet in Montgomery three commis sioners appointed by the Governor of Alabama to arrange terms for ceding the territory West of Chat tahocke river (known as West Flo rida) to the state of Alabama. Sub sequently to this conference an election would be held in West Florida to get the permission of the people by a majority vote to ratify this action in the next meeting of the Legislature In 1898. The resolution was referred to the committee on State affairs and is likely to call out a good deal of discussion when It comes up for notion. There Is a strong sentiment in Florida for annexation to Ala bama, Inasmuch as the commercial and industrial Interests of that sec tion have nothing in common with those of the peninsula part of the state, but are identical with those of Alabama. Two years ago a mass meeting was held in Defuniak Springs to consider this question, but the sentiment then developed was decidedly against annexation, but the annexation sentiment if said to have increased recep*ly.

Watch them when the snave conductor comes punching around. The Gossip speaks of Captain Shell's failure "to keep faith with tho party that elected hlra." We take It that by "the party," the Gossip raeani, thoso who voted for him in the Congressional Primary. While, by participating in the primary, Duncan men were bound to vote for Shell, still if they had voted for Ensor and gone out among the dusky tribes and work ed for him, there is no telling what the result would have been. As to tho election of Capt. Shell, seve ral thousand antis in tho district had "something to do with it." as tho Holy Moses of the Movement would say. Coosaw Again At Work. A private telegram received hero yesterday brought news that the Coosaw Mining Company is again at work, having resumed operations yesterday morning. It has moved its whole plant and force to the creeks owned by the Pacific Quano Company. These creeks are not navigable waters, but are believed to be rich in rock of a good quality. The Coosaw Company, it is stated, pays the Pa cific Company a dollar a ton for the rock mined in the Pacific territory and will do business in its new field as formerly. Thoso who are in position to know say that this move will ena ble the Coosaw company to hold the fort indefinitely and will avoid the need for removing its plant to Florida, which was being seriously considered. Coosaw's friends are now in high spirit as the new ar iangement keeps tho company in market and saves it from serious loss.?Greenville News. Commissioner Kolb Investiga ted. Montgomery Ala,,May 4.?When the Gubernatorial campaign was on in Alabama last year the Adverti ser, tho Democratic organ of tho State, waged a savage warfare against Commissioner of Agricul ture Bonbon F. Kolb, who was the Alliance candidate for Governor, Tho Commissioner was charged with rendering false bills of ex pense tot he State. Certified copies of vouchers were published which showed that the commissioner had charged up fares on railroads over which he had free passes. One of the first acts of Governor Jones upon assuming office was to instruct Public Examiner Heaves to investigate the whole subject. The result was made public to-day. Examiner Reaves finds: Tho Commissioner and two of his clerks to wit: John Cheney and Reuben Kolb have charged tho State with and retained certain amounts for railroad faro nt differ ent times, when tho proof shows that said trips, for which tho faro was charged and r< tainetl, were made on free annual passes." The Examiner has charged against Commissioner Kolb all the items in which he had charged ex penses against the Slate when ho had travelled on free passes. Will Secretary Noble Reslgu?

"Within, two months," said Dr. Cole, "Tom Car ter will leavo his desk In the Com missioner of Public Lands' office and occupy the room In the south east corner of tho Interior Depart ment building." "Do you think Secretary Noble will resign ?" "That in inevitable. Ho has never got along with the President or tho officials In his employ. First thero was a conflict between the Secretary And Commissioner GrofT, and the latter finally resigned. Then the Secretary and Indian Commissioner Morgan had several disagreement*.

HARRIS, Dear Sir:?My en gagemonts are such that I have not tiino to call tho attention of medi cal profession to the cases that might bo collected from tho mass that have accumulated during tho thirty-eight (38) years of constant use of the waters of your Liithia Spring. Tho wateis of tho Lithia Spring are odorless and colorless, free from salinnry taste, rather palatable. When taken in a considerable quantity they do not nauseate, purge or produce any feeling of discomfort. I find from an analysis of tho waters they contain cloridc sodium, carbonate potash,carbonate soda, carbonate lithia, carbonate iron and sulphate magnesia. Tbe waters act directly upon tho mucous coatos of the stomach and alimentary canals they aro powerfully alterative and tonic. Thoy aro soothing to inflamed or irritated surfaces. They react upon tho blood, chang ingm it from acid to alkaline. In indigestion, catarrh of stom ach and gastralgia, suppplemonted with a proper diet they are a cer tain cure. The action upon the kidneys is marked. The sodium, potash, soda and lithia are tho best solvents of uric acid, all calculi of an acid character, whether bileary or ciptic aro steadily dissolved, I am confident that the profession will find it vory useful in cases where this class of water is re quired. Rospectfully, J. q. Wilbur., M. d. Anderson, S. 0? Feb. 24, '91. MR. J. T. HARRIS, Dear Sir:?I return bottle* to bo filled with your Lithia Water. Have used one crate and feel much improved.

I tried a number of remedies without any relief. Some times the pain in my back was so severe that 1 had to have help to got up when sitting down. Somo of my friends asked mo to try your mineral water, 1 did so, and tho result was most gratifying. I felt relief after tho first day. After using it a week I was entirely well. It has been somo six weeks since I first used It, and my general health is greatly im proved. Too much cannot be said in its praise. It is undoubtedly the best water that I know of, Yours Rospectfully. D. M. PATTOW Cross Hill.S, C, Feb'y l, ?01. MR. J. T. HARRIS, Dear Sir:?For seve ral years my wife has Buffered from erysipelas, every two weeks she was confined to her bed and tried many remedies, but nothing pre vented tho orruption. She was dis couraged and finally stopped all medicines and began drinking your Lithia Wator. In two weeks tho disease was milder than it had been for years. She eontinuod to uso and siuco that time she has not been troubled at all. Vory Rospoctfully, John W. Turner. Mountville, S. 0? Jan. 20. '91. MR. J. T. HARRIS, Dear Sir:?About six years ago my dnughtor became affiictcd with a cancer of the nose, Nothing wo did prevented its spreading. Physicians finally told mo they could do nothing further. Shu hAd no appetite and was re duced to a mere shadow, I conclu ded to try your Lithia Wator and to my 8iirpriso in a short time sho began to improve in health and the cancer censod to spread. Sho is now using your excellent water constantly and is improving all tho time. Respectfully, C. L. Watts Laukens, S. O., Mar. 16. '91 MR. J. T. HARRIS, Dear Sir:?For some time I suffered intensely with gravel affection. I tried evory remedy that was obtainable, but without any rellof. Had given up hopos almost of being cured. Some one recommended tho Harris Lithiu Water and I tried it faith fully and was cured. After using ono case of the water I passed five or six gravols. I can not say too much In its praise.
