Bra till tin, who is going to make the race for Con gross, is said to be a mau of "in doubtable energy'' and as having l>een "a public servant in war and jieace.'' His war record is an itdmi ruble one, and he now wears E ? hn empty sleeve as the result of facing the enemy. The Manning Times of last week, in speaking of captain Bradham said he usnp* jfttrts zealously any cause he thinks in right, and when the &eforrti movement was. in its incipency he was among the first to hold up its standard. He was also among the first to advance the idea of bringing the people together and by adopting a con servutive course himself, an ex ample was set by which friction v was removed in the bonds of his persona! influence." '- Bolicitor Johnson is a man of Istifling qualities, fie is a good speaker, a hard worker and one Who would look closely after the 7 interests of his constituents. As kolieitor his record is an enviable One; as a lawyer be stands in the front rank. Mr. Johnsoa is better known to the people of the Fourth Judicial Circuit than he . . is to the people of the counties of g&r r - Williamsburg and Clarendon, but BK^ he it not entirely unknown in |V ' these counties, for his record as gf solicitor ? known alt over tne State. Even bis political oppon^ ewts acknowledge his fitness for ttfe position. The voters of the Sittb District could not cast - HMfir balled8 for a more compel ' Ml ajd deserving man than he, ttttd We tghtufe the assertion that T. if be is elected he will spare uo tek. -to serve the best interests erf the people ctf this section ot the State. Fetd D. Brjaiit, Esq., of Mar ion is in the race also. His card appearr id ihother column. Mr. Bryant is a lawyer by profession . and is ooe of the leading members of the Marion Bar. He is said |< to be a very forcible and fluent v afuidlrai* Ha ttntaroil tha /'nn (o 4av ^uiyi^u i iiv vimi federe army at a very early age belonging to the 20th North Carolina Regiment and was spoken of by Col. Toon in writing a sketch of his raiment for Col. Clark's history of the North Car <<*** troops, speaking of the shafp shooters of Garland's brigade as "the beardless boy. the dauntless* hero ot the corps." At the close of the war he was left I penniless, and "by the sweat of his brow" made his way through college and in 1873 was admitted to the bar. Mr. Bryant occupies an unique position, he having never befoje aspired to political honors. Should he be elected the people; of this District will have an able representative. The Campaign. r?L The Senatorial campaign opened | Rr- at 8amter last Monday. Only' p.*' three candidates announced them- j selves prior to the irieeting, but | K&.--A two others came in later. Senator | McLaurin and ex-Senator Irb^ were the only ones who spoke, but - State Senator S. ?. Mayfteld filed p* his pledge, although he was too ill E' to speak. Mr. Jdhn T. Duncan ' filed his pledge kt 11 rfcldck Mon.. day plght and e'&Cfov. John Oary Evans at 11:80. The houf Of 12 debarred fnrther Entries: / TIk? opening meeting was not} very elevating, McLaurin was thej i i ! first sjieaker, and made a master-j jtul address. Once or twice he re-1 . ferred to Mr. Irl>y in a flippant way.' I Irbvfollowed McLaurin and made: I * 1 a lengthy speech. He referred: I relatedly to McLaurin and oncej accused him of being dishonest. I ' Instantly McLaurin was on his | feet to resent the insult, but [ j friends interferred and things went i ion smoothly. The people <lo not { ' art' for *uch scenes. No person-! J aliti^s should be indulged in. Let; ' the candidates discuss issues, not j , Mien. Let each run on his own ; merits, not the others' demerits. , Nobody wants any trouble during the campaign, and if the candidates will stick to issues there will be no |>ersonal strife The meeting in Kings tree will take place August tKith. Comptroller General Norton states that he cannot have the pension list ready before August 1. That is the earliest possibl | time at which the list can be arranged and prepared. The county lists have to be sent back a.most daily for corrections, but tlie number has been materially increased. fu this connection it may be stated, tk;*t the peu?ion fond is $100,000s Wot is provided for by the approprialion, and the coiftemplated deficiency will have no effect on the pensioners. They will .pet their money as roon as the list are properly made ont. There are now three candidates for Congress to sncceed McLaurin, namely: J. M. Johnson, cf Marion; D. J. Bradhaw, of Clarendon; j and Ferd 1>. Bryant, who is also a Marion man. All three men advocate practically I lie same measures, and the fi^ht will Inn e mainly upon a choice ot men. Johnson and Bradham are both men who have seen several years' public service, while Mr. Brvant has never held an office, nor has he ever before been a candidate for any position. Ex-Senator Irby did not pain many friends by his insult .to Col. \Y. A. Neal last Monday. While at the hotel in Sum*er Col. Nea walked up to Col. Irby and offered him his hand, at the same time remorking, "Good morning, Colonel." Col. Irby refused to shake hands, saying, "Excuse me, sir, I don't care to speak to you." Never before has a jar occurred between the two men, and Col. Neal was much taken aback. \ Truly the Senatorial race is a battle of Johns?John L. McLaurin, John L. M. Irby, John T. Duncan and John Gary Evans. Johnson's Chill and Fever Tonic is a ONE-DAY Cure, it cures we most \ stubborn case of Fever in 24 Hours. DnI Tobacco Spit a ad Smoke Tear Lift Away.

Johnson's Chill and Fever Tonic is a ONE-DAY Cure. it cures the most 4 stubborn case of Fever in 24 Hours. Fear of Lightning. The fear of lightning is the most common form of fear. And yet by lightning fewer people are killed than almost any other form of accident. In the United States about two hundied person's are killed each year by lightning, or one person in every three hundred and fifty thousand. This is an average of three persons in the State of South Carolina. These are the figures of the Weather Bureau and are, therefore, authoritative. In New York city alone over two hundred persons are drowned each year, one hundred and fifty people are burnt or scalded to death and five hunded persons meet their death by falls of various kinds. In cities and towns there is practical immunity from death by lightning when living in a house covered with a tin roof, and the authority for this statement is a writer m the Electric Engine er. Only one in three of those struch are killed. So lightning is a very infrequent cause of death, and there is little reason to live in dread 01 ir.
