They only give tem porary relief and their reaction is harmful and sometimes more annoy ing than constipation. They in no way effect a cure and their ten dency is to weaken the already weak organs with which they come in contact. We honestly believe that we have the best constipation treat ment ever devised. Our faith in it is so strong that we sell it on the positive guarantee that it shall not cost the user a cent if it does not give entire satisfaction and com pletely remedy constipation. This preparation is called Rexall Order lies. These arc prompt? soothing and most effective in action. They are made of a recent chemical dis covery. Their principal ingredient is odorless, tasteless and colorless. Combined with other well known ingredients, long established for tlioir usefulness in the treatment of constipation, it forms a tablet which is eaten just like candy. They may bo taken at any time, either day or night, without fear of their causing any inconvenience whatever. They do not gril>e, ' purge nor cause nausea.

Featherstone as a prohibition leador; : which Is partly true, it also knows him to be a pretty Rood politician, ami a man who makes a very good stump speech. He came into public notoriety ! when Mr. Joel K. Hrunson the chosen leader of the prohibitionists took cold feet and abandoned the fight as soon ' as the gaffs began to be put to him, then Featherstone stepped to the front and taking up the deserted colors went on with the light, and he came within u stones throw of winning, not that his cause was so popular but the man had winning ways and a sweet tongue. We would not disparage the candidncy j of Col. Featherstone, personally we have u kind regard for him, but when it comes to the selection of governor, then perhaps It would be well to wait to take n look at the entries before de-' elding. While, as we have said In a ; previous issue, it appears that. Feath erstone "lias the coon and gone on" yet it after all depends on the temper of the people when the campaign Is opened. If the. politicians and the church leaders combine then there is no doubt that. Featherstone is a win ner; the politicians will gludly join the Featherstone forces If he can de- j liver the church influence, but If the general masses resent the scheme of using the churches to bolster up the aspirations of politicians, then the pen dulum will swing the other way and Featherstone will he justified In ex claiming "Qod suvo tue from my friends." Then there Is another view to lake of this matter, what has Col, Feather stone ever done to entitle him to he the chief executive, of the state? Has he ! ever dono the statt; any special ser vice, except that for which he has re ceived a monied compensation? There are men who have and are still rend ering service to the state, who by I rights have something to go to the pco- j pie with. Take the case of Attorney ' General Lyon, He has worked fori the state's interests and is entitled to j promotion, should he become ,i ^nidi tlate for governor, we believe that the ocople who appreciate true and loyal iervice, such as the attorney general has rendered the state, will vote for j iim on the ground that he has mer- \ I ted the gratitude of the people of j 3outb Carolina by his able, conscien ? ions, and persistent discharge of duty, j While we huve not approved of all the methods employed by tho attorney gen eral, yet wo appreciate the fact he is iu a better position to judge what was best, at the same time, we have always conceded his ability and his | honesty, aud never once put him in the same class as along with those who were playing to the galleries for political effect only; wo have ull a long believed Lyon was pulling for the governorship and his success in the graft cases would help his cause; | this he had a right to do. he had a 1 right to work for a prize and he Is now entitled to it if he wants It or any other position in the gift of the voters of the state. Thereforo we say Col. Feathers'one may have the gover norship "cinched" now. but it depends on whether or nnf. he has opposition, and who his opponent is before he can feel sure of the result In the prim ary.
