Senator Latiiner Has Announced His Candidacy for Kc-dcctiom-His Po? sition Stated on Immigration. Mr. Jas. A Hoyt in his correspon dence to the News and Courier from Columbia, says of the forthcoming senatorial election: As forecasted in this correspondence last week Senator Latimer, on his re turn from Europe, has announced his candidacy for re-election next summer and has stated his position on the issue of immigration. This position will be construed as not favoring the present means used in this State to induce im migration and the Senator distinctly states that be is not in favor of the proposed line of immigrant steamers between Triest and Charleston. The Senator apprehends that the im migration question will play an impor tant part in the campaign next year and in this he is undoubtedly correct. The Farmers' Union, which is strong . in the Senator,8 home county of Ander son and that portion of the State, is on record as opposing immigration and this element represents considerable sentiment of that nature. However, there is on the other hand a distinct sentiment favorable to the plan now in operation to induse immigration and there is not much doubt that this sen timcnt will have a representative in the campaign for the seat ocuupicd by Senator Latimer. Of course the most prominently identified man in the State with the immigration issue is former Governor Heyward, on whose recom mendation to the Legislature the bu reau of immigration was established and who has even since he left the Govern or's office, taken an active part in the elforts to secui'e the steamship line to Charleston. That he should be called on to enter the race on this platform is quite natural, but it is not likely that the former Governor can be induced to do so. There has recently been such a large crop of candidates that it is not possible to place all of them with respect to the immigration issue. No one yet knows what are the views on this subject of Col. J. J. Dargan, of the Gen. Thomas Sumter Memorial Academy at State burg, in Sumter County, S. C. nor has Prof. John G. Clinkscalcs, of Wofford college, or Hon. C. C. Simms, of Barn well, defined their respective views on this vital topic. Even the position of Hon, D. S. Henderson, understood to be a candidate, i3 not announced, for the simple reason that Mr. Henderson, has not had the opportunity to express himself. But among the other Senato rial possibilities the position of Col. George Johnson is known, for at a meeting held last winter at the Coionial Hotel, in this city, Col. Johnson ex pressed hinself as favoring immigra lion in a speech which was the soul not only of logic and eloquence, hut of brevity. The reason for immigration have not been better stated than by Col. Johnstone that night. It would be a peculiar coincidence if Col. John stone and Senator Latimcr should de bate this issue over the Stale. Mr. Latimcr first came into the public eye by defeating Col. Johnstone for re-elec tion to Congress from the 3rd district in 1892. Worked Like A Charm. Mr. I). N. Walker, cdi'or of that snicy journal, the Enterprise, Louisa, Va., says: "I ran a nail in my foot last week and at once applied Buek lin's Arnica Salve. No inflammation followed; the salve simply healed the wound." Heals, every sore, burn and skin disease. Guaranteed at Laurons Drug Co., and Palmetto Drug Co. Price 26 cents. Small Fire. The small frame building on the cor ner of N. Caroline and Laurcns streets was discovered to bo on fire last Fri day night at about 12:30 o'clock. The fire alarm was given and the company promptly responded and the flames were soon extinguished. The building is the property of the B. W. Ball estate and was not insured. It is occupied as a negro restaurant. The (ire started under the stove and it undoubtedly was caused by an ash box, though the occupants disclaim any knowledge of such. n 8 If h If I Opening Display of Fashionable Millinery at THE HUB On Thursday and Friday SEPTEMBER 26th and 27th.

One full dose of "The Funny Fellows of New York" as presented by the inli mitable comedian John Thompsom, will do a person more good than 100 bottles of the best known tonic. If there is such a thing as one of the funny fellows being the funniest, the prize, as has often been remarked, should go to "Silly Hilly." Everything that Billy does is comical, his look, his dress, his manner of speak ing, his actions, all are comical. Silly Hilly is a very fine musician; his solo on the Lilinutiun Violin, on which he plays the "Carnival of of Vonice," with variations, is so well rendered that only a person with a musical education can fully appreciate the skillful manner in which he handles Lau r ens Wednesday, Oct. 2. 01 r>iST, largest and iuchest exhibition in the world.-2 trains of cass. 2 HANDS OK music.?250 HORSAS^and herds ok ELLrMANTS.? 2 0rovf.s OJ mgerjan camels.?only ba3y camel ev?r seen in THiS COUNTRY.

Another surprise for the audience is whon he introduces a plicated piece of paper which lie calls a "Pro-to-fo-to-in dio-riculum." This is truly a wonder ful piece of paper, which words cannot describe. Hilly turns this piece of paper into thirty-two different articles, such as boy's caps, women's hats. stair cases, sugar scoops, bonn ets, etc. As a banjo player, Billy is very fine.
