LAUHIONS. S. C, Nov. ?, 1897. The Result -Van Wyck (Joes lu. Tammany wins. All the world, the great big world,had it-* eyoson (Jreater Now York last Tuesday. Tammany is no hotter than she should bo, but pro bably better than all the rest. She is atlcast Democratic,:;nd always stood by tho South, win u she could help herself in the game. All the rest, beyond Ma son and Dlxon have, as a rule, been against us, except New Jersey. New Jorsey never kicked out of tho traces uutll Bryan of the VVooly West oarao with his new evangel, Tammany will not steal uny more than I Mutt's crowd Low Is probably a well moaning man, bat he could not purify bis environ i tur nt. Hercules, who cleaned up tho stables of AugeaS, where stood some twenty thousand oxen, was a hero In a heroic ago, and was deified In the end. No; the spoils wore the stakes and It was simply a shutUing of the cards as to who held the longest and the strongest suit. George was honest, hut was as ono to ten thousand and had no chance to win if he had lived. Good for the South, though Bryan and Tillman wanted him, that h'o lost. He was a fanatic. Ho wanted no private owner ship of land. The South has nothing ol8o but land. All railroads, telegraph linos, banks, bonds and bacon belong North. If the Georgo theory gains strength thon tho count ry goes over to tho socialists and Southern civilization and tho hopes of our children and children's children aro doomed for all time. Only those politicians favor Goorgo and the Georgo idea, who know that thoy can never climb to the up permost rounds of the ladder under normal conditions. So, lotus be content with Tammany. Tho millionaires and plutocrats at the North own no hind comparatively.? Confiscating tho lands would not hurt thorn and would beggurise the South ern white man. The result of elections in other States has little significance, it is an "off" year. It scarcely rises to tho dignity of an "oil" year. Elections next yoar may give a taste of what ts to come in 1900. Tho other olections go the usual way, oxcept?"My Maryland." She ought to be with Jefferson, Jackson, and that immortal kit of fish?no sar dines?but she flounders in the II Ith llko a mud oat an 1 is with the Ive publicans and sugar trust robber bund. Gorman therefore >s retired to private lifo and will repent at leisure. Tho soculled Democrats of Ohio made a good fight and it did not look healthy for Boss Banna, but at this writing it appears that he will land, and Wash ington will bo his villa for six years. Somewhere in Ohio Banna has n handsome winter home -then u palace floating upon one of the great lakes for his summer outing and why not a palace near the seat of majesty, the "White House? it will he but a hop, ?klp and a jump to button-hole Mc Kinley and give him his commands. When they twitted LucullllS about bis marb'e palaces by the sea and hi-^ ylllus on the mountain cliffs and cas tles in tho great Capitol, ho responded that, he was as the birds that changed their homes with the seasons and would thoy have him less wise? (And bo, Weary William, who is heading now for the sunny side, away down South in Dixlo." "Old Virginia never tires" and goes the usual way and Daniel will return to Washington. Iowa is steady in her tracks in the Republican column and believes that Hanna set tho pace for wheat. As for the rest? "motley Is the only wear"?Nebraska and Kansas?these are not to be placed. They may be this or thoy may be that. Up in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts "tho boys" did not make the game in teresting and it was a walk over for tho broadcloth gents. Jones, (of Ark ansas), and Bryan, however, are en couraged at tho outcome, exchange congratulatory wiro mossages, and plume thema lves with the consolation that it will he all right for him who waits with patience. It is sad to read how Fred Williams was used up in the "Old rhiy State" and we can recall nothing so hugged except the treat ? mont of John Barleycorn In yo olden times: Thoy laid him out upon the floor, To work him farther woo, And still as signs of life appeared, They tossod him to and fro. They wasted, o'or a scorching llamo, Tho marrow of his bonos, But a miller us'd htm worst of all, For ho crush'd him 'twoon two stones.' Wo noglected to montion in its pro por place'that It Is all right in "My Old. Kentucky Homo" and that Joe Blackburn's hoart Is glad and not sad. For about four years a class of scrupulous editors in this State have olamored for the enforcement of tho Dlsponsanry law. Your exemplary man is an objoct lesson. Ho wants every statute on tho books strlotly observed. Whethor it he good law, obnoxious to the constitution or to higher judicial decision, he is for tho statute. If he had lived in Georgo I I Ids timo he would have been a King's man becaupo the Stamp Act was regularly passed. Under tho law,Irs It now stands, wo have tho Dispensary und tho O P. institution. Both aro legal. Com plaint is made of tho blind tiger. Lot him bo huuted down Governor Kl lerbo actod sensluy In respecting the decision of the Court In tho recent seizure O. P. ease In this county. Wo noed a Governor and wo need a Court*. Both havo their logltlmato functions. Else, we havo anarchy or tyranny The Bryan Press In this State Hing up their caps and make a great clatter that Tammany's victory is their tri umph and they procoed to erect the "trophy." Thoy would divide out the arms, and "stuff." But we thought Bryan, Tillman et al were for George. "Duncan is in his grave." Betsy and tin- boar! ? * O'Connor's whiskey and the wagons: ami teams soi/.ed during last week by order of Gov. KUerbe have been re leased by order of Judge Slmonton.? There was a certain King who marched up the hill and then marched down again. And now comes the time when tho monotonous notes of the town auction eer are heard on the public square and tho jaded mulo and the typical spotted calf pass under tho chattel mortgage for corn and bacon from the far off land of MoK inley and Grandson Har rison. V Judge Van VVyok, elected Mayor of Greater New York, was born and reared in Pendleton,this State. Umphl What might not have happened if he hud staid at home? IT IS EASY TO TELL. People who fail t ) look alter their health are liko I h 1 ( arpontor who neglects to sharpen hi , ( dis people are not apt to get an ! us about their health soon enough. It' you are "not quite woll" or "half sick" have you ever thought that your kidneys may bo the cause of your*Riokno88? It is-easy i toll by setting aside your urine for twenty-four hours; n sediment or set t ling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kid neys. When urine stains linen it i< evidence of kidney troubles.? Too frequent desire to urinate, scanty supply, pain or dull ache in the back is also convincing proof that t he kidneys ami bladder are out of order. There is satisfaction in knowing that the great remedy Dr. Kil mer's Swamp Root, fulfills every wish in relieving; weak or diseased kidneys and .all forms of bladder and urinary troubles. Not only does Swamp-Root, give new life and activity to the kidneys?the cause of the trouble, but by treat ing the kidneys it. nets as a tonic for the en t ire const it ut ion. If you need a medicine take Swan.t Root ?it cures.

" l had pains In my head, neck and shoulders and all through my body but they were most severe in my loft side. Tho doctor called it neuralgia and in digestion. I was confined to my hod for eight months. 1 was very nervous, had smothering spells and could not sleep. I read of cures by Hood's Sarsaparille and of a case similar to mine. My husband procured a bottle, nnd I began taking it. After taking ono bottlo I felt better, w as able to r<. tt and my appetite improved.
