The report of the Court of Inquiry in the "Mai-'e"disaster has made its report to the President, a summary ofc which is published j in another column and the report accompanied by a tnessege from the President, has been sent to Congress. President AlcKinley eavs in his special messege that he j does not "doubt that the sense of justice of the Spanish nation will dictate a course of ac'ion suggest-: ei by honor and the friendly re j lations of the two governments." Continuing, the President said that while awaiting Spain's action "deliberate consideration is evok ed.*' McKinley has shown remarkable calmness and fortitude throughout the whole "Maine" affair, and has won the plaudits of all right thinking people* by his cool, deliberate actions.

" Blanche K Bruce, ex slave, ex United States Senator, and twice - register of the treasury of the j United States, is dead, and the President has appointed Judson Lyons,, a negro of Augusta, to succeed him as register. Bruce vas the most prominent negro in the United States at the time of his death, and for prominence duriug the life of this republic, probably ranked next to Fred Douglas. Bruce and Lyons are yU 4 the only negroes who have ever held as high a position as that now ' occupied by the latter. There is a Hereafter. Here is a li.ttle pointer for those whose conduct conveys the impression |hey think there is no hereafter: The late lamented Bill Nev once said; "Do not try to cheat an editor out of a year's subcription to his paper, or any other sum, and it you have any regard for the future consequences, don't fool the editor.

NORTON GIVES OUT AN INTERVIEW. j He Says Nice Things About All the Gubernatorial Candidates and Something Else. Washington. March 24.?Mr Norton, Mho was one of the party visiting Due West on Bryan day, ! was asked if it was understood that j the Bryan demonstration was the opening of the campaign ia South i Carolina. } "No, I think not", \va* his reply. | "We have about quit opening catnj paigns in March down there. Too j few of thein have been successful i since the first one. March is a revoj luiionary month and we are not exi pec ting a revolution just now. On! ly two of the six candidates already unnoticed were at Due West, and i while the political situation in the j state was not unconsidered no cainI paigu launching was had or expeot; ed." j "The political situation down ! there seems to be getting pretty com1 plicated. But with Governor Ellerbe, of Marion; Col. K. B. Watson, i of Saluda; Col George Tillman, of j Edgefield; State Senator Archer, of I Spartanburg; and ex-Solicitor j Schumpert, of Newberry, in the race, j there is little danger of the people's j making a serious mistake. All of j these are gd men; any one one of 1 them could be expected to serve the j state creditab'y. Governor Elleibe, who is standing J for re-election, has of course, the vantage ground. It has become a precedent, if not a custom, to give a j second 'term to our governors and j this fact will bear strongly in Governor Ellerbe's favor. Opposed to him are some excellent men, men of I high character and broad intellii gence. Colonel Watson and Senator j Archer stand high in ihe cousels of i their respective churches and are by no means without experience in public affairs. Colonel George Tillman, well known from his long service in congress, is a strong man, with the courage of his convictions, of ripe age and much experience, Mr. Schumnert is a man of fine abilities who served his circuit for a long | time as solicitor. Of these only Govj emor Ellerbe and Colonel Tillman l were at Due West. Both were received with hearty applause by frieuds iu the large gathering, "The complimentary introduction I by Dr. Grier, president of Erskine | college, and the flattering reception by the audience of Governor Ellerbe showed that he is held in high regard in that community. This, as well as imnt'OCCiAtiC nrutliorml in ntlior nurfo of the state, seems to warrant the opinion of his friemls that there has been quite a reaction of sentiment in favor of governor since the adjournment of the general assembly." "There has been a report, general, of some personal and }>olitical estrangement between yourself uudGovernor Ellerbe." "I an? glad you mentioned that report.

The bladder was created for one purpose, namely, a receptcle for the urine and as such it is not liable to any form of diseases except by one or two ways. The first way is from imperfect action of the kidneys. The second is from careless local treatment of other diseases. CHIEF CAUSE. Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys is the chief cause of bladder trouble. So the womb, like the bladber, was created for one purpose, and if not doctored too much is not liable to weakness or disease, except in rare cases. It is situated of and very closo to the bladder, therefore any pain, disease or inconvenience manifested in the kidneys, back, bladder, or uninarv passage is often, by mistake, attributed to female weakness or v.mb trouble of some sort.
