Columbia, Jan. 24.-Former Govern or Blease has given out the following letter pointedly announcing his can didacy for the governship: Columbia, S. C., Jan. 20, 1916. lion. J. Mack King, Anderson, S. C. My 'Dear Mack: Your kind letter of the 17th instant, received, and I ap preciate very highly indeed the com plimentary remarks contained there in in reference to myself. 1 would have answered earlier, but Sheriff's association, the warehouse men's meeting, the supreme court, the United States court and the legisla tu re all being in session here this week, many people from different parts of the state have been in the city and I have been very busily engaged in various conferences with our friends. In reply to your direct question, I beg leave to say that, since the con ference of this week, I have definite ly and finally decided to be a candi (late for the oflice of governor in the campaign this year, and you can say to your friends that at the proper time I shall pay my assessment, file my pledge and Nvalk into the race; and, unless all signs change, I will win. The only thing I ask of 11my friends is that they go to the ballot boxes, when they are first opened, and remain until the last vote is counted and see that we are not robbed. 'T'his is my final determination, if my friends will do that, the victory is ours, and the people of the state have in power mien who are representatives of the interest of all the people, and who will see that equal rights are given to all and special privileges to none. 1 have engagements to make sever al speeches and shall, from now on, de vote iy time to the interest of lily supporters, and invite all white Caro linians who believe in an honest, faith ful administration, free from prejudice, and where poor and rich, alike will be received and made welcome, to join in our success. Let our battle-cry be "leave of (od, love of home, and love of our country-justice to all and op pression of none." Give my love to all the boys and, with kindest personal regards and hest wishes to you, I anm, As ever, your friend, Cole. Girls--Do You Know Why Your Hair Is Ugly?

Old and New Catarrh To Treat Catarrh Iireatlhing n Germ uilling Air Endors eild by Actual Ieslults. The discovery of Ilyomel has wrought a wonderful change in the treatment of eatarrh. Prior to three years ago the mcdi eines ordinarily employed in the cure of thIris disease were drugs, sprays, lo tions, etc. In some instances they ben eilttel, but the improvement was not lasting. With IIyomei you take into the air passages of your throat. and head a balsamic air that goes into the minut est, cells, and should effectually kill all germs and mleicrobes of catarrh. Its piirpose is to enter the blood with the oxygen, killing the germs in the blood, and restore health to the whole system. Many astonisbing testimonials have been received from those who have been helped by Ilyomei. A completo outfit is inexpensive and includes an inhaler, dropper and sur ficient Ilyonei for several weeks' treatment. Perhaps th) strongest evidence that can be given to doubters. Is the fact that, the Laurens 'Drug Co. have so much faith ini ]Hyomel that they sell every package under ia positive guar antee to refund the mtoney if it does not relieve. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * " * * T YLER V IL NE ." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * TylersvillIc, Jan. 24.-Sever'al fr'oim this setloin attended services at Rocky Springs Suinday morning. i'.
