Cherokee inherited eight mm !

for a baby country that

In Kansas and Kentucky the polit-1
ical atmosphere is fl.led charges of!
^ . bribery and alt sorts of corruption.
And rhe worst part a bo it the mat j

truth in the charges.

promised to visit Nashville when
Congress adjourns.
Now lookout for a "recordbreaker"
from Senator Tillman.
McLaurin's recent congressional
utterances are reflecting too much
credit upon the South Carolina
representative, and our senior
Senator does not like to occupy
second place.
fThe Lake City Times has again
changed bands. Mr. Carl W.
Hill, of Darlington, will succeed
Mr. W. D. Shaw as editor. We
have known Mr. hill almost all
erf his life* add We have no hesitancy
in predicting that under
his management the Times will
prosper.
I Greece and Turkey are at war
and many are the reports of victory
and defeat published daily in
$f the city papers. While the pow.
era of Europe claim to be "neu;A.v
tral/V nevertheless certain countries
are lending aid to Turkey
by not allowing Greece to occupy
certain positions of advantage.
A man must be pretty well
covered with moss not to be a
regular advertiser. 4 family
p down in Florida lost their child *
and failing to find if after two
days, put a twenty-four cent notice
in the paper and the ne*t
morning they were surprised to
,eee an alligator on the steps where
'he bad disgorged (he child and

The New York Herald, which
supported Major McKinley, says:
"The Democratic victories in the
West reflect a universal revulsion
against the new administration.
Local issues contributed in some
degree to the results of these elections,
but they are undoubtedly
due in the main to popular indig
nation over the conduct of the
men now at the head ot affairs and
its paralyzingeffect upon the business
of the country." An honest
, confession, they say, is good for the
soul. v_
HerqSthe kind of an obituary
that a G^rgia editor put up for a
poor man: "Poor Jim slung his

;the exposition of more national

We have received the first
copies of the Daily Kecore, an
afternoon paper published in Columbia
by Mr. Geo. K. Keoster,
formerly editor of the Columbia
I Kegister. Xr. Keoster is a wen
known newspaper man and a
('earless writer, and under his

Denmark, by a system of cooper!

Congressman McLaurin's recent
famous congressional speech is
being read with great interest all
over the country. Our State
dai/ey papers are publishing extracts
from large and influential
papers from every quarter of the
nation, all of them speaking of
the utterances in the very highest
praise. McLaurin has won fame
and not merely notoriety.
Sheriff D. J. Bradham, of
Clarendon county, and J. William
Stokes have been having
some lively correspondence in re
gard to the latter's undelivered
congressional speech opposing
Congressman McLaurin'sproposed
amendment to the tariff. Mr.
Bradham writes well and is no
doubt conscientious in nis opposi
tion to Mr. Stokes, but, in our
opinion, the publication of the
letters which passed between the
two gentlemen is but a bold bid
bv the sheriff for the congressman's
seat in the national house oi
representatives.

The fools are not all dead. One

A good joke on a school ma'am
comes from Cnmberland Gap, and
is told by the Middlesborough
(Ky.) News. A lady teacher told
one of the boys to name all the
Presidents, and when he replied
he couldn*t the teacher said:
"When I was as old as you I
could name all the Presidents in
their order/' The boy replied:
"There were only a few Presidents
then."

Two years ago R. J. Warren, a

How To find Out
Fill a bottle or common glass
with urine and let it stand twentyfour
hours; a sediment or settling
indicates an unhealthy condition
of the kidneys. When nrihe stains
linen it it positive evidence of kidney
trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is
also convincing proof that the kidr
neys and bladder are out of order
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that Dr
Kilmer's Sw*?mp-Root, the great
kidney remedy fulfills /every wisn
in relieving pain in the back kid
neys, liver, bladdler and evers
part of the urinary passagger. It
corrects inability to hold nrine
and scalding pain in passing it, 01
bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being compelled
to get up many times during
the night to urinate- The
mild and the extraordinary effect
of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing
cases. If you need a medi
icins you should have the best.
Sold by druggist, price fifty ecnts
and one dollar. You may have a
sample bottle and pamphlet both
sent free by mail. Mention
Th? flnuntv Record and send vour
address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bing

BENSON.
Benson is a thriving section in
the central part of Willinmsburg
county. Its farmers are getting
along nicely at present, though It
is becoming rather dry. They are
fairly well up with their work, and
have nothing to do but fish (fishing
time, you know,) but I presume
they will "come out at the little
end of the horn" if they don't
"stick to their bush."

Where Are The Blood-Hounds?
Editor County Record:
Where are the blood-hounds ? I
Representative Kennedy at the
last session of the General Assembly
had an act passed empowerin *
the authorities to purchose a pair
of blood-hounds, trained to track
fugitive law breakers. Where are
they.
Houses being burnt, robbery running
riot, murder being committed
?with the aid of a pair of trained j
blood-hounds, all this would be
stopped. What are the authorities
who are empowered to obtain these
dogs going to do about it?
