further reports from various sections
of tile State indicate the aecurjicy
of The Index f??r?H*a-t that in the
gubernatorial raee Feat hers tone will
lead, with B'ease or McLeod a close
second. The second primary will
have to he U'tween two of these
three gentlemen. The other gentlemen
will show up at the close in
.about the f dlowing order: Hyatt.
Richard- and Duncan. In the Itginning
Richards had it on Hyatt,as
they say on the street, hut "Brother
Hyatt" with his organization,determination,
nerve, money and a few
other es-entials is a f w noses or
lnaylw a whole length or two ahead
of Sir Richards. Trie entry of Mr
Richards, a- The Index termed it,
is a pathetic political spectacle, as it
means his political slaughter.?

without having the pleasure of
hearing the forensic eloquence of
the patriotic gentlemen who arc
toiling and moiling in the effort
to serve their State, our contemporary's
forecast a'*?ut coincides
with our prophetic view, except
that we would substitute tlyatt
for Blease. Wc cannot admit the
possiblity of Mr Blease's being "a
close second". If the "dope"
reads right Featherstone and McLood
will make the second race
with all the advantage for the
prohibition candidate, inasmuch as
lie will logically fall heir to the
majority of Richard-' and Hyatt >
votes?hoth being avowed "Statew
ders"?while Mr Mcheod will
have to worry along with the few
thousands of followers of Blease.
Mr Duncan seems to lie entirely
a negligible quantity.

Fashionable Eating.
The young ladies come down to
d nner. Very stately are they in en
| tering.very dignified in seating them1
selves. Condescendingly, they allow
their plates to be helped. They look
at the food disdainfully, as if they
had so ne spite against it and were
deter ninod to take revenge. Then,a>
if heroically resigning themselves as
martyrs to a barbarous custom, they
begin to eat. Looking at the bread
abstractedly, and at the meat le
I proachfully,they break a crumb from
> the one and cut a bit of the other.
They then gaze attentively into their
glasses; but, not seeing a minnow or
| a tadpole in the water, they gently
1 sip it. When these several actions
are repeated a few times, the young
i ladies say they have dined. From
their behavior, one would suppose
? ? , _ i
j that they lookerl upon eating as ai'*
tog-ether a bore; that they regarded
. it as an ordeal which should be abolished
as soon as possible. But go
do\yn to the cupboard about four
, o'clock, after they have been to it,
and it looks if a famine had come
along.? Magazine.

The card of Benjimin Bethea Sellers
announcing himself for
, Congressman from the 6th Congressional
district of South Carolina, will '
be read in another column in the
Messenger.
Mr Sellers is a son of Col. John
C Sellers, Marion, and a grandson
of the late Col W W Sellers, w ho
wrote the History of Marion county
after he was 82 years of age.
Mr Ben B Sellers is a worthy son
of a long line of worthy sires and
if elected to Congress the honor and
dignity and the progressive ideals of
the people of the 6th Congressional
district will never falter, stop and go
down into the dust of humilation
and disgrace by the results of bacchanalian
orgies nor the direful re
suits of "gambling in cotton futures.''
Mr Sellers does not drink, does
. j__x: u..i ? ?i
not neglect nis uuues, uui a pmiu,
strong clear-cut young man of progressive
ideas and a Democrat with
no Republican leanings. Mr Sellers
made o ne of the best and most ef- ,
fective Representatives Marion couniy
has ever sent to Columbia to rep- |
resent he rpeople. 1
He is a plain farmer, a graduate
of WofTord College and a young man
of the people and for the people.
In the House of Reprentatives he
was the champion of the people and 1
made some of the most effective J
speeches in their interest made in
that General Assembly.
If the people of the 6th district '
should send Mr Sellers to Congress
they will have an able, high, clean 1
young man, full of vigor, honor, '
truth and capacity to represent 1
their cause in the 62nd Congress of
the United States and withal a man |1
wholly devoted to his farm, never 1
having been engaged in any other 1
vocation and remarkably successful.
Mr Sellers not being a lawyer can- ;
not be engaged by the trust to lead
him away from the interest of the
jieople. He is a born lighter for '
the truth and right, possessed of no I
mean oratorical powers and an able
debater for his years would make ?
one of the cleanest, up-to-date Rep-! i
resent at ives the 6th district has ever ! i
had in Congress. ? MhWihs

boyhood. No pies now ever taste so <
good. What's chaged? the pies? No. >

els of boyhood. Your digestion is s
poor and you blame the food.

of digestion?Stomach, Liver, Kid- j
