Commenting on The Advertiser's statement that the objection that "too many of the Gary family are given of fices is absurd," the Columbia State ' agrees that the position that the men should be elected to office on their indi vidual merits is indisputably sound, and then adds: "If one family contains a dozen mem bers that offer for a dozen offices, and each of those candidates is the best man running for that particular job, the best man should be elected, regard less of the qualifications or offices pos sessed by other members of the family. There may be serious complications, however. If that family aided in build ing a platform in winch 'rotation' in office was a central plank, and that plank was flanked by another entitled 'Down with the Oligarchy,' and flanked on the other side by a plank protesting against an 'aristocracy,' tho inconsist ency of that family of platform-build ers mijrht become painful. Again, if members of that family were elevated to public office by the vote of the people when in a normal state of mind it would be, indeed, a marked compliment. But it is some what noteworthy that not one of the G%ry brothers has demonstrated that he is a favorite with the people. Any one so designated by Captain Tillman would have been made lieutenant gov ernor in 1890. In like manner in 1894, when John Gary Evans was elected to succeed Gov. TillmanR, Tillmann's wish ?-wus the potent factor in the choice. When the storm of factional bitterness subsided, and the coat-tails of Benjamin were no longer available at the hur dles, there were repeated and signal failures to favorably impress the men with the votes. The Houso of Repre sentatives is 'easier' than the people. Now, THE Advertiser is not an "Evans organ," or any other kind of organ. It is not in our power to say whom it will support. The present edi tor has a cordial regard for Mr. Evans, and the same sort of regard for Mr. Hey ward, and for several other candi dates as well. Of course Mr. Evans should no more be elected on account of his kin than defeated on that account. He must prove affirmatively that he is better fitted to serve the State than is anyone of his competitors, and the same task is before Heyward, Johnstone, Martin, Smith and the rest. Sometimes, fre quently, talent and patriotism run in families. The Heyward family has produced certainly as many men of ability as has the Evans or Gary family?though Gov. Heyward is the first of them to appear before the po litical footlights in late years. In earlier times the Hey wards had con spicuous positions because the State, or colony, needed the Heywards. The Johnstones, too, have been men of mark for generations. The question now is, does the State need most an Evans, or a Heyward, or a -Johnstonc, or a Martin, or a Smith, or a Dargan, -tr a Henderson ?even were his name >ick, Tom or Harry Jones? The prominence of particular families , in thjs republic has always impressed us as remarkable, when we consider that our constitution and laws were de liberately designed to destroy heredi tary political influences. The great Harrison tribe, of Virginia, gave to the country two presidents, (grandfather and grandson), and scores of members of the family in many States have been leaders in both parties, as well as in business, social and scientific affairs. The Presidents Adams were father and son, and in New England the Hales, Hoars and Lodges have held scores of offices. In this State fifty Butlers, Pickenses, Simkinses, Bacons, Lips combs and Brookses ? all connected by blood or marriage have been political leaders. There is no counting the num ber of strong men descended from Landgrave Thomas Smith, of Charles ton, In the early history of South Carolina at least two or three of the Pinckneys were men of national influ ence and power, and the Manning Uichardson family has given the State five governors. At the present time two Kitchin brothers are members of Congress from North Carolina. One of the Lan dfa brothers, of Illinois, is a federal judge, another a leading Republican member of Congress, and a third was lately defeated for Congress?the two latter being Indianians. The Breckin ridges have held office in Kentucky for many years. In war the Lee family, of. Virginia, produced half a dozen general officers, and In the Federal army the: e were perhaps as many Ohio McCooks of soldierly distinction. In this Democratic country it is pre posterous to supposo that family influ ence counts. When families are large they nearly always divide into hostile camps. Two Mayors Harrison, of Chi cago, were Democrats; two Presidents Harrison, Whig and Republican, but they were all limbs from the same stock. In the approaching race for the United States Senate the advantage of family help over any of the candi dates would be with Governor Hey ward. His family connection, we would guess, is more numerous and more widely scattered in the State than that of any other candidate. It is perfectly true that Senator Till man raised a great hullaballoo about a family ring in this State which never did exist. If Mr. Evans joined in that cry, he will have to answer it as best he can; but one thing we regard as cer tain?ho or any other man who is elected will have to prove clearly that he is the best fitted man to be Senator, or at least he will prove himself per sonally the most popular and likable of -".the candidates. Otherwise, he won't k v i the votes. LINES WERE NOT DRAWN. Efforts to prove that the old "con servative faction/' or the remains of it, tried to defeat Mr., Frank B. Gary for the United States Senate will not im press any person who takes the trouble to examine the vote in the Legislature. We do not know more than a ?mall pro portion of the present members of the General Assembly, but our information is that the former conservatives, if they pursued the methods of the Tillmanites in the early nineties?that is, if they would hold caucauses against their fel low Democrats?could elect for any of fice whomsoever they wished, aa they thority for saying that they are in a majority is Mr. B. R. Tillman, who has repeatedly said that the "conserva tives" are now in control. Moreover, Mr. Gary, we believe, was elected by one vote. Of the 79 who personally voted for him we personally know of at least 12 who were formerly "conservatives," and we think that pro bably 30 former conservatives supported him. One of the constant supporters of Mr. Gary was a member who refused to vote for Mr. Tillman for Senator, al though he had been endorsed in the pri mary. Mr. Cary, one of the authors of the Carey-Cothran law, also was his staunch supporter. These conserva tives or "antis" voted for Mr. Gary against Governor Sheppard. Again, it should be remembered that Mr. L. G. Walker, who was the leading candidate against Mr. Gary, was also a "Tillmanite"?more consistently a Till manite in dispensary legislation than Mr, Gary has been, (Mr. Gary ran for governor as a local optionist about eight years ago, when Mr. Mc?>weeny was elected as a State dispensary man), so it can hardly be said that those con servatives who supported Walker were drawing the lines. Finally, if B. R. Tillman meant what he said when he advised the Legisla ture not to elect a man pledged to stay out of the race for the long term he meant to advise the General Assembly to vote against Frank B. Gary. But we do not accuse Senator Tillman of having meant what he said. Mr. McCullnugh's *'!i." Under the caption "McCullough's Opportunity" the Journal, of Spartan burg, says editorially: "Joe McCullough had no chance of election as United States Senator until Judge Pritchard gave him one. If, when offered the receivership by the federal court, Mr. McCulloUgh had in dignantly spurned it and made a great show of devoted patriotism and loyalty to the State, which would not permit him, even for 6 per cent, of $800,000, to act in opposition to the grand old principle of States' rights, and so on, there would have been a storm of ap plause for McCullough that would have swept over the State, routed all the other candidates and landed McCul lough in the United States Senate. John C. Calhoun would hardly have compared to McCullough as a States' rights defender, had the latter made proper theatrical use of his opportunity. But how has he who might have been mighty fallen! McCullough is now execrated as an enemy of the State and, if the receivership does not Btick, hia prize will have turned to ashes in his hands."

Tillman Asks Pointed Questions. Washington, March 12. ? Senator Tillman today introduced a resolution calling upon the senate committee on finance to conduct an investigation and answer some pointed questions bearing upon financial legislation. The ques tions on which a report is asked are as follows: "Whether the national banks in the city of New York and elsewhere are in the habit, under the guise of commer cial loans, of furnishing permanent capital for speculation or other enter prises, and if so what legislation is necessary to prevent a continuance of such practice. "Whether the treasury department had knowledge of the loans made by the National Bank of North America, of New York city, which is the subject of a suit by the receiver of said bank against Charles W. Morse, and of other similar transactions in other national banks. "Whether national banks are now engaged, by themselves or through other organizations, in attempting to control or dictate legislation of Con gress upon currency measures. "The committee is further instruct ed to aBccrtnin what, if any, legislation is necessary to discourage or prevent the hnbit of persons holding the office of comptroller of the currency from making that office a stepping-stone to employment by national banks. "Whether national banks are using trust companies or other financial in stitutions as dummy agencies through which to transact business forbidden by the law governing national banks, and what legislation is necessary to prevent such an evasion of the stat utes. "Whether the national banks in New York city lent their credit to stock bro kers by the certification or acceptance of checks during the years 1906 and 1907 and report whether or not such transactions involved any violation of the provisions of section 5200 of the Revised Statutes as to making excess loans." Senator Tillman, introducing his reso lution asked that it be read and nl lowed to lie on the table. He added that he wanted to give ample oppor tunity to have its contents known, so that there would be no suspicion in re gard to it. He said he proposed to speak on this resolution next Monday. State, 14th. If you would like to fool some wise coffee critic, who "knows fine coffee on taste and flavor," quietly make for him a batch of Dr. Snoop's "Health Coffee" and serve it piping hot.

Ansel last Thursday took steps to prevent the receivers appointed by Judge Pritchard for the $800,000 dispen sary fund from getting control of the money until the whole matter is settled. This fund is on deposit in thirty-one banks in the State, The People's Loan & Exchange Bank, of Laurens, being included in the number. Last Thurs day Governor Ansel addressed the fol lowing letter to each of the banks hold ing these funds, as follows: "Gentlemen: You are hereby notified that if any of the State dispensary funds in your hands are turned over to any one without the production of your collaterals, and without the check be ing signed by Dr. W. J. Murray, chair man, and countersigned by the State treasurer, you will be held responsible for the same by the State of South Carolina. "This does not refer to the 22J per cent, which has been drawn through the National Loan & Exchange Bank and was authorized both by the com mission and the United States court. "Yours very truly, "M. P. ANSEL, "Governor." Tickling or dry coughs will quickly loosen when using Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure. And it is so thoroughly harmless that Dr. Shoop tells mothers to use nothing else, even with very young babies. The wholesome green leaves and tender stems of a lung-heal ing mountainous shrub furnisn the curative properties to Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure. It calms the cough and heals the sensitive bronchial mem branes. No opium, no chloroform, nothing harsh used to injure or sup press. Demand Dr. Shoop's. Take no other. Palmetto Drug Co. Don't Let Fear Ruin Business. Of what earthly use is a soldier who drops his musket and takes to his heels at the first onslaught of the enemy? Where would a nation end with an army of such soldiers? Where a busi ness? At present this country stands face to face with a most absurd enemy, who came like a bolt from a clear sky and wholly without cause. That enemy is fear. Are you a good fighter, or are you a coward? Are you going to lay down arms before this imaginary fictitious apparition, or arc you going to "march breast forward" and help break down this fear in the minds of your custom ers? There is no reason why merchants or anyone else should be alarmed. The backbone and foundation of this nation is its integrity and natural resources, which are in most superb condition. In fact, the land "flows with milk and honey." The only trouble is the peo ple (some of them) are scared stiff. And about what ? Absolutely noth ing. It's just like a cry of fire in an opera house where no fire exists. Fear is no person, place nor thing. It has no actual cause, no real power. In the presence of confidence it becomes absolute nothingness, and vanishes as darkness before the light. When a snag is blown out of a river with dynamite the noise creates excite ment, but the snag being removed leaves the river clear. Several snags are being removed from the "financial river," but the explosions should cause no alarm. With the snags removed, the country's prosperity will flow on greater and more powerful than ever. Which side are you fighting on- fear or confidence? Every word you speak, every thought, you think, has power for good or evil. Think it over and be an optimist. - Chicago Tribune. Remember that when the stomach nerves fail or weaken dyspepsia or in digestion must always follow. But strengthen these same weak inside nerves with Dr. Shoop's Restorative, and then see how quickly health will again return. Weak heart and kidney nerves can also be strengthened with the Restorative where heart pains, palpitation or kidney weakness is found. Don't drug the stomach nor stimulate the heart or kidneys. What is wrong. Go to the cause of those ailments. Strengthen the weak inside nerves with Dr. Shoop's Restorative and get well. A simple, single test will r.urely tell. Palmetto Drug Co.
