LAURENS, S. C, July 27, 1897. A Review. Tho Cnmpaign liko John Brown's spirit goes marching on.' It is a splon dld bchool for clocutionury oulturo?-a fresh audience, oagor for political education, squaring the great speak ers in the face each appointed day.? The weeks' work opened in Wlnnsboro, thence to that cultured and innocent childlike community, Columbia, the site of your capitol. Tho mooting was very cheerful and pleasant, honoyod words characteristic of tho utter ances. But thoro was nothing now. Tho great men seem to have exhausted thoir argunicntive and inventive re sources. Gov. Ellerbo who has been criticised by some of the speakers, was invited to bo proscnt and dofond him self. But he failed to respond. He was right. Mr. Duncan appeared for tho lirst time and spoke generally without regard to any particular line of policy. He has not appeared since. Mayfleld attacks McLaurin's tariff re cord and hits the Dispensary and jabs Ellerbo and his administration. Irby strikes right and left hitting Ellcrbe between the peepers, a right jab at McLaurin's tariff views, plays a prank or so upon Evans, jollies and laughs at the gang. Evans has a good speech about old times, tho tarilT of ".VI, and so forth. All have boen good and faithful Reformers, McLaurin fights tho whole train, with an occasional left upper-cut, and then delivers his speech in defence of his tarilT votes at Washington. Columbia was their great day?it is presumed that each did bis clean best?and the ''great dailies" spread themselves, and their pieces were printed at large on Wednesday hist. They must bo hero on the 7th and wo will hear from them. Tho crops will be by then clean and laid by. Got a good sharp appetite for thoir pa triotic deliverances-r-preparcd to give each and every man a good-natured, good tempered, and squaro hearing. M # * It had the appearance of a forlorn hono when Senator Tillman trans ferred the struggle for his Dispensary baby from tho State to Washington. Judge Simonton is not a Gibraltor. in ] fact but one little man, and the power, tho machinery, and the money of tho whole people of South Carolina has boen brought to bear against this one little man. As a last resort and hope Senator Tillman with six representa tives in the House at his back brought into play bis talents and energies to influonce the Congross to hold up his tired and faltering hands. We must commend the zeal and skill of Senator Tillman, as wo always have. The Senator handled his pitchfork deftly and got a Bill through the Senate branch of Congress without, a bitch intended to perpetuate the Dispensary system in South Carolina. Tho argu ment used was in tho Calhoun role of State Rights?that South Carolina should be allowed to manage her own internal affairs. Hut, but, but, wo who are Democrats are taught to be lieve that the Federal Government must bo made to hands off severely and it was paternalism of the worst kind, a contradiction anf Inconsistency of the most flagrant sort, to appeal to the Federal Government to make a law to regulate and control the inter nal affairs of the States. The Demo crats, oven Hepublicans,demand of the Federal Fower an to where tho people of the States shall trade and trafflck -hands off. So when Senator Tillman called upon Speaker Reed, tho Chairman of the committee on Rules, with?"help me, Cassias, or I Hink''?tho Zar drawled,' and stood upon tho Democratic doctrine of not helping a political machlno in South Carolina, and our Senator's pitchfork lay at his feet, tho keen point of the rapier putting it harmless by. So there Is no help from Congress which ad journs in ton days or sooner to assem ble in Dccombor; and if the Dispen sary can stand on its own legs, until the year of graco 1808, it can live out its appointed davs without foreign support. But it will die the death and ought to die and die quick. It is the most corrupting monopoly and agoncy taai over existed in a State. It is tho most flagrant agoncy for political honchmon ever existing in a State or conceived. That our people have not soon its debasing workings is simply that they have shut their eyos. Our purpose was to commend Senator Till? mat. for the skill he has shown in car rying the Dispensary law to Washing ton, and to show how /.ar Reed, was Jack, tho giant killer, with his nine mile boots, his cloak of darkness and his sword of sharpness. And so we trust it will ever be with a socallod Democrat, appealing to Republican practices. Governor Ellerbc. Tho constant nagging at tho Gover nor about tho Dispensary is ugly. It is worso than ugly?it Is tiresome. It is old straw. Lot it bo an issue whon Governor Kllerbo offers again for public office. It should not be an issue in tho Senatorial campaign?as elsewhere said Congress should lot it severely alono?no Carolinian should appeal to Congress. Let Govornor El? lorbe alono and havo him to glvo us a businoss administration, if possible? If it is in him. Ho is to bo pitied that ho inherited from former administra tions such a puzzlo as the Disponsary. But stop nagging at him. ? - ' ? ?-? ?? ? 1 ? ^ Joftnson'k Chill r.nd Fc? ver Tonic is a ONE-DAY Cure. It cures the most stubborn case ?>/ Fever Lynch Law. This in the law of the South in a cer I tain cane?it means the death penalty, ?uro and swift. Thoro is no appeal against tho winds, the waves and the lightnings . As swift as these and as ir resistable, is the ntorm King if South ern womanhood ia imperilled. Thoro is a vory ridiculous debate go ing on between tho Trustocs of Clem son <\nd Dr. Tabor, of tho Stato Board of Health. An epidemic of typhoid fever broke out and of a number of students sick livo died. This was no groat matter among !tt)0 boys. The cause is usually local and uo man is wise enough to locato it. It happens every day and the wisest is unable to bud the locality of tho pest. A similar visitation may not affect the locality in a century. Tillman and Dr. Tabor should shut up. n * ?

What use is there in eating when food docs you no good, in fact, when it docs you more harm than good, for such is the case if it is not digested ? If you have a loathing for food there is no use of forcing it down, for it will not be digested. You must restore the digestive organs to their natural strength and cause the food to be digested, when an appetite will come, and with it a relish for food. The tired, languid feeling will give place to vigor and energy; then you will put llesh on your hones and become strong. The i Shaker Digestive Cordial as made ! by the Mount Lebanon Shakers I contains food already digested and is a digester of foods as well. Its action is prompt and ita eflccts permanent.

I Mrs. Loudie Norwood Spoor, a native Carolinian , and the grand daughter of the celebrated Abbe villian, Doctor Norwood of vera trum fame, and herself the wife of Mr. George Spoor, tho influential banker of LaGrunge, Georgia, re marks in one of her correspondence appropos of Miss Aun Pamela Cun ningham?A chapter of tho D. A. R. and also a society of tho C. A. R. have been named for Dolly t Madison because she saved tho j Declaration of Independence from j the dames when tho British in I varied Washington, and yet none i has been named for Miss Ann Pamela Cunningham who savod the homo and grave of George Washington from speculators and j decay by years of labor and devo tion and who really was tho first person to arouse the peoplo to their duty, as regards tho preser vation of everything associated with the life and use of that great and good man. She adds: "Just think if Miss Cunningham had been a New England woman what honor would have been shown nor." "I havo recently met a great many people from the Now Eng land section and can personally testify as to their enthusiasm of Miss Cunningham and her work." Mrs. Speor's suggestion was taken r.nd the La Grange Society of the C. A. R. named thoir organ ization after the distinguished daughter of South Carolina. Tho La Grange Roportor of July Oth inst. has the following: '?The children of tho American Revolution celebrated tho Fourth of July at the homo of Miss Noll Gallaway Saturday afternoon.? First came on the program the salute to tho flag, a beautiful pres ent to the Society from Mrs. Geo. Spoor, with the plodgo of allegi ance recltod in concert." "Reading of the Declaration of Independence." "The Star Spangled Banner," an instrumental solo by Miss Bessie Banks. Recitation, "Independence Bell" Miss Nellie Callaway. "Tho name of tho society pre sented by tho committoo was that of Ann Pamela Cunningham, tho founder of tho . ount Vernon As sociation, an honor well bestowed, as it was through tho untiring ef forts of this woman, tho liomo of Georgo Washington was prsservod from decay and ruin and that it now stands a monument to the patriotism of American women." South Carolina has left it to a score of other Btates to name coun tries in their respective limits af ter her most distinguished son, John C. Calhoun, certainly tho most profound political thinker and philosophical statesman of tho Western World, it is likely she will leave It to chapter societies and organizations of othor States to take, honor and preserve tho nttme of her most distinguished daughtor, who because of her ser vices to the United States is claimed and rovered as their own by tho peoplo scattered from the Golden Horn of tho Pacific to tho Sr.ndy Hook of the Atlantic, and from the land of tho blizzard aud great lakes to the genial and tropical shades (hat '.uro tho waters of the Southern su> h, Quinine and other fe~ ver medicines take from 5 to 10 days to cure fever.
