I TWO [, THE POLITICAL POT POURRI. I CANDIDATE'S BACKWARD ABOUT i COMING OUT?SOME GOOD MEN HAVE BEEN SUGGESTED. As the spring time approaches j and seed-time is nigh, there arises! a mild euros:ty among the voters' anent the prospective crop of can-' didates for county offices?will the "acreage" be increased, or the intensive system pursued and quantity sacrificed to quality?and will the Williamson plan, so much in vogue in corn production, be applied to politics in the hope of increasing the yield of ballots, thus making two votes count where only one wa^ counted before? Only a few weeks off now is the time for re-organizing clubs and not , a single candidate has yet publicly announced himself. This is rather an anomalous condition, which would seem to imply a state of in- ( difference or apathy among theoffice- 1 seekers, or it may be that amid the general prosperity that now obtains, the modest stipend attached i to the offices of our county fails to exercise the potent charm that, ( < when cotton brought six and eight cents, lured into tho arena such a goodly company of patriotic citizens * that the man behind the ballot found it a difficult matter indeed to aim his gun at an individual without c bringing down a whole flock of can- ^ didates. 1 Albeit, as stated at the outset, * local politics is scarcely even luke- r warm, still there is some speculation t among the political forecasters as 1 to what manner of men the voters % might, could, would or should have the opportunity to select from. Now, we wish to explain right here that.not a single one of the gentlemen hereinafter named (as the lawyers say) has admitted to us that he is an aspirant for the office with his name is coupled, or any other, for that matter; yet we have heard at various times every one of them suggested as a good man for the place with his name is associated. "To begin at the top, Senator Bass's term expires this year and v- we have not yet heard whether or not yet he will offer for re-election. Besides the incumbent, we have heard suggested for this high and honorable position the following: Messrs LeRoy Lee, Hugh McCutch -en, Dr W G Gamble, Hon W D : Bryan, Hon J Davis Carter and Hon Jonn S Graham. * For the House of Representatives c quite a number have been suggested * from time to time within our hear- 8 ing, among whom are: MessrS B B c - -Chandler, S B Poston, Dr W C * Hemingway, J J M Graham, WM 1 % O'Bryan, J C Graham and W C Wil- c son. Mr J J Graham is of course a v candidate for re-election to the office 1 of road engineer and we have heard 8 of the following other aspirants: c Capt W R Funk, H D Ferrell and A * F Stone. * Mr J Wesley Cook will offer his * efficient services as county treasurer 1 for the ensuing two years and it is * rumored that he may be opposed by * Mr P M Brockinton, who now holds the office of probate judge. * Mr Cook, by the way, will be hard ' to beat for re-election, if good ser- 1 vice counts for aught. ' Mr J J B Montgomery hasn't * handed us his announcement c.r l ' i yet ior rC'Ciccu JH iu uic ouuj wi o office, but we assume that he will 1 make the race to succeed himself to ^ the office that he has filled so ( creditably for several terms. 1 Mr J G McCullough is another 5 office-holder who hasn't as yet expressed his intention of offering 1 his services again, but we presume that he will do so, as the office seems to suit him very well and he certainly has "made good," if the reports we 1 hear as to his management of the 1 affairs of this office are to be relied J upon. 1 Solicitor Stoll, Sheriff Graham, ' Clerk of Court Britton and County 1 l ^ Commissioner Hammet, all good *roen in their respective places, hold oVer. so that they will merely be , "Lookers->n in Vienna" while the battle of ballots rages. ; L Probate Judge Brockinton, unless he cleats to try for a better paying office, will serve his constituents two years more in his courteous and capable way. And. last but not least, there's our friend Coroner Gamble, who has a dead cinch for two more years helping out the undertaker in his gruesome avocation. Note?Since the foregoing was put in type, it will he noted that several candidates have handed us their cards.?Editor The Record. FLORENCE CRIMINAL COURT. R. L. Bazin Found Guilty of Man Slaughter. The case of R L Bazin was concluded Friday night when the jury brought in a verdict of manslaughter. This case was finished in a very short time; in fact, it took less time than is usually required for such :ases. The defence put up no witnesses and the State only six. The testimony of all the witnesses ippeared to be pretty well knit to?ether in describing what took place it the box party that night which !au.sed young Poston's death. It seems that Poston had been asked by :he school teacher to assist in maniging and to keep order,and that the Touble between him and young Ba:in began in the house over the bidling on a cake. It was stated that roung Poston had warned everyx)dy from bidding on the cake uness intending to take it. The testinonv showed that Bazin cursed Poson in a very vile manner. This fact vas substntiated by every witness hat went on the stand, and Poston ook it up with Bazin on the outside >f the building. The evidence against the accused vas very damaging throughout the ase. The testimony was concluded about I o'clock p m ana the argument to he jury was opened by Solicitor J Monroe Spears. He made a splendid ilea for justice and reviewed the estimony in a very able manner. Mr >pears was followed by Mr LeRoy jee of Kingstree for the defense. He aid that there were two sides to 'very question and that things were lot quite so bad as Mr Spears had lainted them. He made a remarktbly fine speech in behalf of his di;nt. Mr J P McNeill made a spleniid and eloquent appeal for the State. Solicitor Wells came last and in lis characteristic style presented the ase to the jury with great force, ie asked the jury not to consider entii lent and prejudice when it ame to their sworn duty to do jusice to the State and to their feilownen; that was what his distinguish id friends would have them considt, but that was not their duty. He vas sorry for Bazin and for his aged jarents, but that could not have iny bearing on the case when it ame to doing justice. He thought hat young Bazin would have been letter off if his parents had sent him o the reformatory before this hap>ened. Mr Wells impressed every)ody in the court room with his 'orce of argument. Judge Gary charged the jury ilong the usual lines on the law of nurder and self-defence. He was rery particular to explain every lit:\e detail covering the law to the :welve men that sat before him. He aid a great deal of stress on selfiefence and impressed the jury with die fact that a man must not be at fault himself in bringing about a difficulty to claim this God-given right. His charge was very strong and pointed. * The jury remained in the room about a half-hour before reaching a verdict. The sentence imposed upon Bazin was three years in the State penitentiary at hard labor. The attorneys for defence made a motion for a new trial,which was over-ruled; then they gave notice of appeal, pending which Bazin has been admitted to bail in the sum of $2,500. ?F.orence Times, March 19.

THE COIN ( Foreign Missions. , Watson's Magazine for March, j which is the successor to Watson's .Jeffersonian Magazine, will contain i another editorial on Foreign Missions, and also an eloquent defence of the present system. Every one has been waiting, watching anr] hoping for another word from Mi Watson on this suhieet. i - ?. Torn Watson says: "Christians of America! The cry of the children of this land rises loudly and bitterly against you. The infant lies at your door. And in a large, national, racial sense, it is youi child! And you are leaving it there, to die of criminal neglect, while i you rush wildly to Europe, Asia, 1 Africa, Oceanica and Latin Ameri , ca, to save the stranger's child. 0 ; that great day, when the earth a' the sea shall give up their dead, a men shall troop toward the Grec.. i White Throne, to give an account i of the deeds done in the body, what will you say? Oh, what can you say, when you are accused by the little ones for whom you are responsible, and whom you allowed to go ; to Death or the Devil?" J Again, he says: "You fetter the | future of your country with the | foul bonds of the Harlot. In yoiir mad zeal to compel other races to change their religions, you betrjy Christ in your own country. The Laymen's Movement really means the world for the Trusts.' With the craftiness of Satan himself, the wolves of the Trusts are donning sheep's clothing. In the name of | God, they are setting up, throughout the heathen world, their own golden altars." Read about "Little Dora," the negro child that the missionaries want to buy, and then about the little white slaves of Colorado, who toil from dawn to dark for their Japanese masters. j Watson's Magazine is 10 cents a copy at any news-stand,, one dollar a year.

For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescirbed local remedies, and by censtantlv failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F J Cheney & Co,Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful.
