V < i_ . ! it Jfj Thursday, June 17, 1897.' t? ~ Senator McLaurin has been 5p- Assigned to the committees on claims, coast defenses, immigrate fipu, Indian affairs, and internaTimnrl exposition m the U. S. benale. What town iti the State can Si make a better showing in the wav ot educational facilities thau Kingstree? And what scnool in the State can show such i larked fc? improvement as ours? Ai' honor to the principal and his accctn?& plished assistant. BR"- t It ? said that congressman Baiky, the young leader of the p- ; Democracy in the House, fully : agrees with Senator McLaurin on ?j. the cotton tax, and will use every EL effort to have the House accept the amendment to the tariff bill F ' passed by the senate. . We have received the initial B^'V ?umber of the Beaufort Gazette, * an 8 column weekly paper published at Beaulort, S. 0. Mr. ^ . Wra. Elliott, Jr., is the editor, and his salutatory bespeaks a brilli ant tufuie for him in the journalistic field. The Gazette has our best wishes for its sue H|' cess and prosperity. | Ex-governor John Gary Evans | |L visited Senator Tillman in Wash I JIJglUU *???' WCCA. 11 1-S RiUU I Ml llic purpose of securing the Senator's support in the coming senatorial ;.v primary. Senator Tillman says J.' that he will maintain strict neus 'tiality in the fight. There seems / to be very little doubt that Mr. Evans will be a candidate. The Abbeville Press and BanK iter of last week said: "The lo /val dispensary averaged about - $70 per day on liqvior sales last Saturday the sales reached j $141; Monday, $144; Tuesday $117." That dees pretty well for | an institution that has received ' so many "death-blows." What If'. other business is paying so well. Hie first open barroom owned 1 by *a individual that has done business in Scnth Carolina for y - nearly fourr years was opened by fe an ex barkeeper in the city of g, Charleston last week. The only si ^difierence in the way the business is now carried on and the way it was carried on prior to the enactment of the first dispensary law, is that the private grog-shops now IjT conform to certain rules of thedispensary?early closing, only sellv irig in sealed packages, and to pert* sons over 21 years, and other regy - ulations. The State must now ""bock" opposition in the whiskey bosiness. ? R,'. p State Chairman Thompkins has i called a meeting of the State 1 Democratic Executive Committee & to meet next Tuesday, Juue22nd F for the purpose of aranging for a i [ senatorial campaign and primary,!( and to order a primary election ; | K for a Congressman from the Sixth j j District. The only announced j j :.v candidates for the two .positions! are McLaurin for the Senate and ( Johnson for Congress, but the l p. probabilities are that there will i be oth*r.c?but none b^tfpt. , ' A TTle "original package" man , will soon be located in every to?n in the State. ===== President K.

Candidly and conscientiously I can recommend it as the l>est thing on the market." The 25 50 cent size for sale by Dr. W. L. Wallace, druggist. Complications' The present political complication in the Sixth Congressional District presents rather a novel situation.r" If Norton is elected, who will* fill Norton's place as Comptroller General? If J. M. Johnson is elected, who will be Solicitor of Ih . Fourth Judicial Circuit? If D. W. McLaurin, who will fill his position 011 the Sinking Fund Commisionen,? And last, but not .ea t so far as positions are concerned, there is W. D. Evans, who fills the office of Railroad Commissioner, and theie are others.?Marion Star. Mr. Isaac Horner, proprietor ot Burton House, Burton, V. V., and one of the most widely known men in the State was cured of rheumatism after three years of suffering. He says: ,4Ii have not sufficient command of language to convey any idea of what I suffered, my physician told me that nothing could be done for me and my friends were fully convinced that nothing but death would relieve me of my suffering. In June, 1894, mr Eveus then salesman for th^ Wheeling Drug Co., recommended Chamberlain's Pain Balm. At this time my foot and limb were swollen to more than double their normal size and it seemed to me my leg would bum, but soon after 1 began using the Pain Balin the swelling 1 began to decrease, the pain to leave and now I consider that I otn entirely cured.

The New York World says "the financial condition of the Union has not improved a particle and the discontent of the people has increased, and justly increased. The great Republican majorities of last summer are melting like snow under a summer sun. If Bryan were running against McKinley to'day he would sweep the country. Taking it year in and year out, the coldest hour ot each twentyfour is 5 o'clock in the morning. Depression of Spirits so common In summer-time, accompanied by loss of energy, lack of thought-power, means a deficient supply of nourishment The vital force is lost It isn't a question of muscle and sinew, but of resistance and endurance. At any age, but especially In youth, it involves the risk of lung d'sease. Loss of flesh and a cough are threat- i ening signs.

Birf I will say that for three years we have never Deen without Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhfea Remedy in the bonse, ami my wife would as soon think <?f being without Hour as a bottle of this Remedy in the summer season.

For sale by Dr. \V. L.allace, ,r i;; s Colorado. Washington ond Wv oming papers are teriously discussing the question, uWhaf to do with our horses." One of their papers on this subject says: Horses have become so worthless that I hey can be purchased for 50 cents to $2 a head; and nobody wants them at that. They have beceme so. numerous on the ranges of eastern Washington that they are now regarded much as wild animals, which deprive valuable sheep and cattle of the piovender needed for them. In time, if the number increases, they will become sport for the hunter, and the question may very pro perlyarise whether tneir flesh is not as wholesome and nutritious as that of deer. Quinine and other fever medicines take from 5 to 10 days to cure fever. Johnson's Chill and Fever Tonic cures in ONE DAY. It is said that there is now one telephone in the United States to every one hundred.and ninety two of the population, and the number is daily increasing. ^io 4 tire, Pay. That is the way all druggists sell Grove's Tasteless Chill, Tonic for Chills and Malaria. It is simply Iron and Quinine in a tasteless form. Children love it.

JOHNSON'S CHILL AND FEVER TONIC Cures Fever In One Day. It* is useless for Senator Tillman to introduce the dispensary question into the United Stales Senate. We believe that the United Stales Supreme Courl will sustain Judjre Simonton. and that will settle the matter so far as the exclusive riirht of the State to sell liquor is concerned. In truth, we should heave a great sigh of releaf to see an end of it all, and the best ending would be a sweeping of the dispensary law from the statute books of our State and the enactment of laws prohibiting the sale of that which has caused more trouble than anything else 011 che top side of the earth?intoxicating liquors,?Chester Bulletin.
