Josh Ashley in Anderson held Democratic views and believes in local option and yet bo ran l'rinco to tho tips of Ins cyt lids, who Is a Dispen sary elect. Then again Cooper, of this county, squeezed in and he is a Demo crat and advocated local self govern ment. Johnson, an old antl, over whelmed Wilson for Congress and Wil son was Senator for Spartanburg and 1st Lieutenant of Till man for yearp. Spartanburg, Greenville and Anderson are one-fourth the Democratic party in this Slate, and Dean lor the Senate laid Donaldson, the Captain of Till man's phalanx on the shelf. Thus in the great Democratic counties tho old factional lines are laid to rost Col .lim Tillman's race for Lieutenant Governor is phenomenal?ho laughed nt tho whole gang and was genial and good tempered. Jonnlugs, of Falrileld, who was no vor heard of before the canvasF,relieved Dr.Tlramorman, high cockalorum State Treasurer, of his Im portant trust. And Timnierman, an old Kdgelield man. It Is a feather in Jennings'8 cap. I n Charleston thoro was stout stlir-rvckcd rebellion, Martin for Sheriff, ex metropolitan chief of po lico downing the ring?one instance of rebellion succeeding. The like instances of independent ac tion occurred over tho entire little dispensary bound commonwealth. All the ex-antis?(tin-re are few of this ilk left) wont against tho good preachers and voted solidly for tho Dispensary,? In fact an anil now is harder to locate than teeth in an antiquated hen.There were whimsical votes in a staid sober county like Laurcns, but wo forbear to instance our good neighbors and friend". Spartanburg is now a X X county an ex-governor and an ox Congressman after March I'll I!?01 and tliis is cxtra-ecccntric. Scratching and Tinkling. Charleston county gave Mr. Mc Swoonoy about 1,500 or 2,000 majority over all the other candidates, the larg est majority that, he received anyway, and Charleston is the largest, and strongest of the "anti" counties. What's the explanation? Is Charleston a re form county hereafter? Then why was a solid antl delegation elected to tho legislature? And why was evory re form candidate in the county, except Martin for sheriff, the most important one, beaten? If Hoyt is tho anti-candi date, what's the matter with Charl-8 ton? We do not believe there was a '?deal." Wo hol love that Governor Mc Sweonoy Is too good a man to go into a "deal." is it possible that Charleston fears that a prohibition candidate will enforce the dispensary law in Charles ton, or endeavor to enforce it and that Charleston and her tigers are satisfied with affairs as they are? It is a little curious that MeSweonoy received an overwhelming majority ' in ( harleston, that he received a larger majority in Charleston than he did in any reform county. At all events, we suspect that the Charleston voter knew what he was doing when he voted for Mc Sweeney and properly refrained from scratching Tlllman you scratch me and ; scratch you ?you tickle me and I tick.' you. Scratching Is one thin) and tickling la another. ? Mr. sfi nyarno Wilson. While thoro is great rand natural re joicing in Laurcns that Mr. Johnson, a worthy son of the county, lias bee:: eloeteil to congress TllK ?DVERTI8KR wishes to say that Mr. Wilson has made a faithful ami able congressman.

Sheppard, of I'dge held, he had never heard of. When told thatTillman and Charleston wore hand-ln-glove they declared at once against the Charleston Exposition. We also struck in our rounds a hard-shell TiUmanitc and learning of tho love feast between Tlllman and Charleston he thereupon dec.hired to scratch Tlll mtn. # * ? Tlllman won in his battle last week, having nobody to light no David with smooth stones to confront him. He an tagonized the ministers of tho gospel, however, and there was somo sparring. Ho stood up side, by sido with Mc Sweenoy, Gary. Patterson and forty other bravo men "in buckram" and pelted Hoyt. Benjamin loves to snuff the battle of the hustings aim tho re porters and could not keep away from the firing line. In tho heat of battle ho Invited those who did not agree witli his temperance plan to scratch him. Hundreds of those, who boliove in temperance otherwiso than adminis tered in pint bottles accepted tho Invi tation. * * * Wo announced at tho outset that we should vote, for Hoyt wo havo known him sinco he was knee high to a duck and ho is a true man. We shall stick to him as close as a brother, as loyal as lonathan. McSwccney is and was sec ond choice with the Kditor. In any event wo aro not beaten, don't you ? Tho Spartanburg Herald says In big head lines - "Hoyt will win." (Ihe editor should get ready hie inaugural toggory.) Tho Greenvlllo News an nounces?"tho Dispensary is bound to go in two years." As sure as a gun wo are all Democrats and opposed to monopolies. ? If there were any old moss back con Borvativcs (except tho two tho editor oncounterod) loft in Laurotis thoy cer tainly voted on Tuesday last -the big gest vote over known in Laurons and they voted for Itoformors and tho Dis ponaary. ? * * Col. Hoyt urged repeatedly and ve homontly On the stump throughout the campaign that his friends should not scratch Senator Tillman's name, but Col. Hoyt is to lie hold responsible for tho scratching. With tho oleoted Legislature tho Dispensary stands for two years as a political machine in this State. Hoyt as Govornor cannot affect it. Ho will onforco it under his oath if elected He hi honest as tho sun. If* Jim Corbott knocks out "Kid" Mc oy. No defeated candidate need de ipah*. With two more years of Hoyt or McHvrecncy tho Stalo will move along smoothly. (Julian. Company F. Mit. EDITOR. It may not prove unin teresting to some of your readers to ' know something moro of our noble old Co. P.i 1 Ith S. 0. V . We carried as we thought 142 of as good men to be as ever were mustered into the Confed erate service. At our last re-union it fell to my lot to prepare a statement of facts as near as I could for publication, and although it may not be correct in every particular, yot it is t ho best l can do. W0 lost two Captains killed and one disabled for life and two Color Hearers killod on the Held. As I stated wo bad 142 men. Killed dead in battlo, 22 Died in hospital of wounds and sick ness, 34 Discharged of wounds, 0 Discharged of sickness, 10 Alive at surrender In prison. 5 Of the remaining 50 some wero cap tured just a few days before the sur render, some In hospital and a few sur rendered on the 8th of April 1805, mak ing a total of 142. I was proud to seo in your last issue two communications from some friends who were present with us at our last re-union. It tills our hearts with grati tude to know that others enjoy these re-unions. Let us keep them up. Our next meeting wiU be held at Yarbor ough's mill. i tespoct fully submitted, .1 P. DlLLARD, BBKWERTON ITEMS. Again i must 1k>w with an apology to the many readers of the ADVERTISER. Business matters, the hot weather and carelessness or laziness, l don't know which, have kept me from putting In an appearance regularly. Many little things have come and gone since my last communication to The Advertiser, which would have boon of interest to the many intelligent readers, but since thoy aro things of the past I shall desist. One thing how ever, I shall mention, which is of very unusual occurrence. There were three brothers, ranging in ago from 7.r> to H3 years, who were engaged in a christain warfare to gether the first week in August at Ml. Gallagher, trying to pull down the Kingdom of Satan and build up tho Kingdom of Christ in the hearts of tho fieoplo. Why this should be of so much utorost is that all throe havo boon en listed In the army for more than fifty voars and yet have never become tired In the service, but wero beara to cry out during the meeting: "I have fought a good fignt, I have finished my course, I have kept tho faith; henceforth there is laid up for mo a crown of righteous ness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall glvo mo at that day, and not for me only, but unto all them also that love bis appearing. These throe brothers wore Henderson Martin, of Spartauburg, Ambrose H. Martin, of Laurous and Louis Martin, of Mt. Gallagher. Thoso three brothers were permitted to enjoy some of the fruits of their labors here on earth, in that. Rev. Dr. J, O. Martin, their own nephew, whose father and mother died when bo was quito small did the preaching. The Dr. is very zealous and preached the Gospel with groat earnestness and pre cision, yet many seemed not to bo moved and start for the Kingdom of i hrtst. Only three confessed regenera tion and saving faith in Christ, yot many in the church were built and strengthened in the faith, who resolved that they would live nearer the Lord in tho future then they have dono in the past. Among that class was your hum b'o scribe. May the good Lord help us to carry out our good resolutions. The big tent meeting of Holmes and Todd began on Saturday night, the 25th of August, near Mt Bethel. The church desired once that they would not have the tent mooting, but protract a meeting at Hrewerton church. Later on however thoy roconslderod. The Harmony Union Sunday School bursted a few Sundays ago at id was moved down to Hrewerton church. Mr. James Hramlott continues to superin tend. Tho Sunday School in connection with the church have boughuan or every ^^SflSBH HP there will be much nicW^^fronTa^Bg,nmtry to the townstrWP^flw^reffipW^i?. ?n borhood. The crop prospect is the gloomiest I ever know at this time, very little corn is going to be made and the cotton crop is short indeed. A good rain fell here on Saturday, the 25th of August. Mr. Editor, it is a strange thing to me that many people claim that the iUrU-=Ti ljj HAD. fa St ion L w h b? key -:: i o n and the prohibitionist have combined to whip the dispensaryist. When will the devil coaso to do his work? Not until? time shall cease to bo no more. Mr. Johns, of Silver Street, was up to see his host girl near Hrewerton ro cent'v and spent nearly a woek with her. * _O.M DlT. Millions Given Away. It is certainly gratifying to the pub lic to know of one concern In tho land who arc not afraid to be genorous to tho needy and sulTerlng. The proprie tors of Dr. King's Now Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, have given away over ten million trial bot tles of this great medicine and have the satisfaction of knowing It has ab solutely cured thousands of hopeless cases.

There was great rivalry between these men, ami one day they wore having a heated argument on the steps of tho state house at Springfield. "I'll agree to have It to the fust man we meet," safd one of the wrangling lawyers liereely. "Alf right, and that will settle It once for all. Ahl Here Is Charlie-. We'll leave it to him."
