I h | OR, CONGRESS AND SOLICITOR. ], t/% There was a notable contrast in ^ the Senatorial campaign meeting ^ here Tuesday and the State cam- t paign meeting three weeks ago. It j ^ was perceptible not only in the size | ^ of the crowd who gathered to hear i them, but strikingly so in the verbi-! kge of the leading candidates and in Ihe behavior of the audience. There ^ were no noisy rubes yelping *for ^ Tillman, Smith, or any other favor-: v ite son of the old soil. , 1 f . The court room was filled from a I' o'clock until the last speaker had f ? for Congress and two for the office c ^ftfc^of Solicitor. IShw Col W Jasper Talbert of Parksh ^pille, for some years a Representa?21 &ve in the National Congress, now C BE q running for the United States Sen ate,was the first to speak. He subBB i! m mitted his claims for the high office * in eloquent style, setting forth his , K& views upon the measures of para-! * I mount importance to the successful HE| ^ ?

Mr Rags- d ? dale's speech may be said to have h been an attack on the record of Mr li B Ellerbe's service in Congress, but it f B w^s neither bitter or vindictive,based B chiefly upon documentary evidence, t B which, to Mr Ragsdale, tended to ]< g ahow that Mr Ellerbe had been lax c i-i... /?r,nit>tn<ant<5 and n I ID T11S tlUty LU no W/aivj-W/ x? the State of South Carolina.

After elating some of the progress in the ectiori of the State from which he ailed, and for which he said he was argely responsible, he based his laims for the office of United States ienator on his record for progressweness. He discussed the adminis ration of governmental affairs in a iusiness-like manner, arguing that is policies would result in one of conomy. He received loud aplause from the audience.

The most cooling and soothing treatment for prickly heat, where the skin has not been broken, is the frequent application of the following wash: Dissolve in a cup of clear j water as much boric acid as it will < take up; this is called a saturate solution. To this add an equal quantity of pure alcohol. Allow this i wash to dry on the skin without wiping. Second only to the above.11 is soda and water., Dissolve a tea- i spoonful of cooking soda in a small ' bowl of water, and bathe freely and 1 often.

HUNDRED PER CENT PURE SAYS THE DEVICE ON RIBBONS FLAUNTED BY BLEASEITES The largest crowd that has yet greeted the candidates assembled at Orangeburg Wednesday. The weather was ideal and the general expectancy was that the meeting would be one of the most important yet held. In the crowd were many people bearing ribbons marked "100 per cent Blease." This was carrying out the idea expressed by Judge Jones at Georgetown when he shouted to Blease men: "You are tagged like fertilizer sacks and you carry your analysis which is 100 per cent Blease." Orangeburg went for Blease in 1910 by eight votes and the factions ' are strongly aligned. "Any man who'll get up in front of an audience with a pistol on him in the presence of ladies in South Carolina is not worthy to Appear before the people of South Carolina." "If I am a common criminal, you put me in office and some people will be put behind the bars instead of being allowed to address the honest yeomanry of South Carolina," said Mr Evans. He further said he would in a few days'unearth a conspiracy that would "shock.the people of South Carolina." which is being framed by men "supposedly of honor." He said he would prove this with facts; facts which he had gotten from a prominent and honest * j citizen. Evans' references to Lyon were only indirect. Lyon repeated the statement con- ? cerning Evans' "criminal record" and his alleged forgeries and in ' 3trong terms denounced the character of his opponent. Lyon was well received: so was Peoples. Two thousand people or m >re heard the candidates. Chief of Police Fischer sat in tvont of the stage, and other officers were in the crowd.
