A preparation such -as EXZEMA-FO should be known to everyone. I w-as a sufferer of that terrible disease called eczema for seven years, doctored with the most eminent New York specialists and several various Skin Hospitals to the ,I-xpense of over $300. Two bottles EX-Z EMA-FO cured me, and the est of it. all was that I was able to givesup the use of a salve, which was what they all prescribed. Your remedy EX-ZEMA-FO is a clean liquid, did not soil my linen and went :ight to the spot. I have been recom -nending it to every one afflicted with :his disease and results have been the iame as in my case. EX-ZEMA-FO is the only prepar ition of its kind sold on the guar Intee that it cures or money is re 'unded. FOR SALF. BY LAURENS DRUG CO. Laurens, S. C. " Specify No. 08. Augustus G.

ALTERCATION MARS RIDGELAND MEETING Otherwise Peaceful Day Marked by Fight Among Auditors. Ridgeland, July 22.-In an effort to silence ani -AW11to' who appeared recalcitrant in the of the mar shal. Harry Bennett, the marshall be caie the object of fls:U and a "billy" at the hands of James, Ernest and Charles Cooler. The altercation occur red early in the meeting of candidates for State offices hold here today and was the only thing that marred the placid surface and undemonstrative attitude of the audience of about 300 persons, many of them women. Throuhgout the speeches of all can didates, the audience remained indif forent to the various pleas for its suf frage and several speakers failed to draw applause. The fight of course, was the draw ing card, while it lasted, but the light, like the entire meeting, began and ended in silence, with scanty applause a ni (l disinterested observations. In view of the fact that close con nection had to be made to get to Walterboro, where the campaign meeting was held Thursday, the speeches of candidates for govenor were limited to ten minutes and of all other candidates to live minutes. The meeting was called to order at 10:40 o'clock by W. A. Sauls, county chairman. The Rev. J. R1. Funder burk offered prayer. W. W. Moore, candidate for re-clec tion to the oflice of adjutant general, spoke first. le advocated that a mil itary company bie organized in each county, provided the necessary regu lations have been complied with. M. C. Willis, opposing candidate, charged that the Indorsements of Gen. Moore weresecured while Moore was on a tour of inspection bearing a peti tion. Candidates for railroad commission er spoke next. as follows: George W. Fairey, C. D. Fortner, and J. H. Wharton. Mr. Fortner took J. A. Hunter to task for "butting in" the race for railroad commissioner by discussing the Fortner bill. "If Mr. Hunter," said the speaker, "takes it up at any other meeting, I will show up his record and put him out of the race." Frank W. Shealey and W. I. With erspoon, candidate foi- railroad conm missioner, were absent. B. Frank Kelly, cnduidati ior lieu tenant governor, in a reply to the charge of A. 3. Bethea, said that the reason he resigned fron the dispen sary winding-up commission was that it was impossible for him to attend its meetings because of pressing work at home. Andrew J. Bethea referred to his work in the formation of Jasper coun ty as Gov. Ansel's secretary. William M. Hamer said that he was in favor of en-foreing all laws wheth er good or bad. J. A. Hunter denied that he was working against C. D). Fortner or wa '"butting in'' the race for railrmoad commissioner'. "Mi'. Foriner is too in signilleant," he said, "for me to fool with." .Just as Thomas Hf. Peoples, candi (late for attorney general, began to speak, an altercation betwecen ,James Cooler and Harry Bennett, marshal, took place. Friends of the two en tered in and there were several fight ing. A "billy" was seen. landing on the heads of the combatants, wvho were clinching and saying nothing. Several audlitors, among them the sheriff andl candidates, forced thei' way between the flghters and after pub ing, and pushing in brute silen('' linally separiated themi. Blood flowed from the faces of Mr. Bennett and .Jamnes Cooler. The altercation began whien Cooler' asked thr'eateninigly, it is said, "HI ow abouit TPom P~eipl es?" Mr'. Hennett told him to keep qiuiet, and resenting thle or'der', Cooler clinched. The tight lastedl only a few minutes, dluing whmichl timec manmy blows were stiuck. The auenice took only short time to i'eturn'i to its pr'eviouis imp~assive mood0(. JTames Cooler, Ermnest, his son, and Charle'hs, his brother, were arr'estedl. ,James Cooler wvas released on a $25 b)ond. 'IThiomas HT. Peoples andl A. (4. Brice, candidates for attorney general, made their usual speeches. James A. Summer'sett, candIidate for 'comptroller genei'al. in the absence of A. W. Mooi'e, oitlined his- platform. Johin 'T. Duncan spoke of time "sys toei." WV. C. I rby, Jr., told of his work ini the legislature. Hie saidl that lie wouIld veto any 1)111 to sell asylum prioperty.

Browning hath taken in his platformn his own idea of rural credits. J1o enumerated instances where wvork to advance the condition of the poor people was retarded by "rich ,Yan kann." who want the lands for bunt ing grounds. Richard I. Manning spoke of his record, both public and private, ,and asked that factionalism be done away with. le reiterated his views on the enforcement of law, the use of the pardoning power, the necessity of a business pLdministration in all State departme ts and the education of the children. He developed his plank on a local option compulsory school at tendance law. John 13. Adger Mullaly was ab sent because of sickness. John G. Richards read the record in which it was shown that lie did all he ,could against the adoption of the express tariff which went into ef ilect July 1 and which has since met with criticism. Mr. Richards denounced the pri mary rules on the ground that they were "unjust and unreasonable." le went on to say that. compliance with the requirements would not, of course, disfranchise any one. He upheld his position opposing compulsory edlica tion. Charles Carroll Simms spoke of lils "love for the laboring people" and lils long friendship with the govern or. He said that lie was for the mass es of people against the greed of cor porations. Charles A. Smniti read hils lat form as it apl)pears oil his circular. IHe spoke at length in favor of a local option compul'sory school attendance law and his plan to submnit to the peo ple, by order of the legislature, the question of State-wide prohibition. 'Mendel L. Smith launched immne liately into his plank of "good roads." hv% which the large expense now paid by farmers for the -novement of crons may be reduced. Ile called at tention to the increase of taxes as a result of a law that 'ouild force eul cation on all counties in defense of lils position favoring a local oltion compilsory school attendance law. lie eloquently presented his attitude to wards the use of the pardoning power. Lowndes J. Browning spoke of the need of small land owners through out the state. and developed his lan of rural credits. lie got the audience Ili ta good humor by his reference to the "former candidates for governor." ie advocated the abolition of the personal property tax and the sub stitution in lieu thereof a graduated tax on inheritances and income. John G. Clinkscales, after humor ously referring to some of the candi dates, made his usual defense of a State-wide compulsory school attend ance law as against a local option law. Mr. Clinkscales argued that those districts .most In need of a school law would be the last to adopt such a law. Robert A. 0ooper sipoke of the cl foWtmeht of law and lits intention to enforce all laws on the statute books of the state. lie outlined his views on education, stating that lie would do all lie could to get legislation to make equal provision for the children in the country and those in the city. Mr. Cooper then spoke of his plan to locate in each county a farm dem onstration school under the direction of Clemsori college, and stated in conclusion that. lie would be governor of all the people.-The State.
