"In men whom men condemn as ill, I find so much of goodness still; In men whom MEN pronounce divine, I find so much of sin and blot? I hesitate to draw the line Between the two?whereGodhas not.' THURSDAY, AUG. 1. 1912. Govornor Blease persists in de living that he has ever receivet jnnnt v for pardons granted criniin als. If this he true Stothart ? Blease s chief constable and colas sal grafter in Charleston must hi pretty well healed financially h; this time. Still, lie sticks to hi jol?. \ Tlii' annual reunion ;it Cam] J C Truluek was celebrated a 0 Olanta Saturday in tin- usua good old picnic styli',and there wen upwards of S,<)00 people present Political sj>eech-making was 1 aired, l?ut a nunil>er of politician: were on hand and enjoyed tin day and the dinner just as othe: ordinary pleasure seekers. rV? If Governor (?) Blease really has such a high regard for tin refinement of Ladies why does la make use of so many unretine* and vulgar utterances in hi: speeches. Why do the ladies us ually leave the audience when il conies his turn to speak? Yet this same Governor Cole L Bleas< would have you ltelieve that ht is a Chesterfieldian, as wher some for one hollowed "Hurrah, Felder,'' at Aiken Friday, and he thought the name too vulgai and vile to mention in the presence of ladies. The County Record learns witl regret, of the demise old Lawyer MeFadden, colored, whicl oecured at hi> home in tlu Benson section last week. 11ir ileitis marks tlie nassing of ; typical specimen of his race among whom there are few stil living.

Has no ?nought of the Governor's act. > ! | and utterances already Urn made ' public to nauseate a majority of . tin* well thinking, law loving elment of white i>eoplc in the State. B 11 Stothart, the Charleston . Chief Constahle who was afraid ( 1 - to tell the truth before the Leg- * islative Investigating eonnnittee o , for fear of incriminating himself, 5 has sent a letter to his pal, 1 0 . ( 0 Cole I. Bleasc, denying all the j " graft eharges brought out against ' s hint and demands a thorough ; i; p investigation of his acts. His ^ pal replied: "1 have never hee lieved you dishonest, hut on the 0 contrary, believe that von have J J always done your duty and in s . an honorable way," an 1 further ; promises to turn the matter over 'I - to Solicitor lVuriloy for invesyga- ; n tion at the proper time." That 1 h time will never come, so far as ft J < I I>lea-e is concerned.

Woman Finally Recovers From Nervous Breakdown Impoverished nerves destroy many < people before their time. Often be- i fore a sufferer realises what the j trouble is, he is on the verge of a complete nervous breakdown. It ^ is of the utmost importance to keep ; your nervous system in good con dition, as the nerves arc the source nf nil hnrlilv nower. Mrs. Anna ation may be had by E. 0. Epps, Clerk Board of Trustees. e, S. C. Kounz, 2ii Mechanic St., Pueblo, Coio., says: ( '"For many years i suffered from , nervous prostration; I was unable to do any house work and doctors ' failed to help me. Remedies- I i tried from druggists did not do me a particle of good. A neighbor told my husband about Dr. Miles' Nervine and he procured a bottle. After the first few doses I showed a marked 3 improvement and after taking two bottles I was entirely cured. I have , been perfectly well for years and cannot praise Dr. Miles' Nervine 1 too highly." If you are troubled with loss of appetite, poor digestion, weakness, inability to sleep; if you are ir. a general run clown condition ana unable to bear your part of the ' daily grind of life, you need some- < thing to strengthen your nerves. You may not realize what is the matter with you, but that is no reason why you should delay treatment ( Dr. Miles' Nervine \ has proven its value in nervous (lis- i orders for thirty years, and merits a trial, no matter how many other . remedies have failed to help you. 1ft-Sold by all druggists.
