BLEASE FACTION INTENDED TO BOLT IF JONES HAD BEEN DECLARED ELECTED. I I The Bennettsville Advocate has' ! received the following open letter for publication: , Hon George R Rembert, Columbia, S C. Respected Sir: You make an uncalled for attack on me in the public. prints which I shall not allow to go unnoticed. You wrote a letter 'attacking Senator J L McLaurin and sent it to one of your henchmen in Anderson, who signed it and 1 gave it to the paper there. The editor of the paper. Col Y H Ches-! hire, taxed the party with it and he ! confessed. Yuu were "caught with the goods," and to escape the consequences of your puerile conduct1 you divert attention to "Bull Moose" j Beard. 1 had nothing whatever to do with the matter. I am not a candidate. I have no connection of any kind with Senator McLaurin other than friendship and I brand your statement as wilfully and maliciously false. You say I have been attacking you for three months. This is also untrue. I said in the interview that you were not "gubernatorial timber." I am sure that r> nAtiairlorfltinn of vour in a uiiuui wuuivtvtv ?? ane bombastics would convince any intelligent observer that I understated this proposition. I have heard many, (not half as well informed as I) say that they did not want a "cheap imitation." Your reference to "Bull Moose" comes with iil grace. You are as much "Bull Moose" as I. You know as well as I do that I was only a small pawn in the game last year. Every indication pointed to the fact that certain influences dominating the Jones crowd intended to count Blease out and you, as well as I, intended to go to the general election with a full independent ticket if .?.! n# mViiVVi 10 mej uiu, jl iuji ui miivu iu in a letter from me to The News and Courier during that period putting out such a ticket, which, by the way, you did not protest against at the time. All of us, you as well as I, took advantage of the Progressive party to provide the machinery for such a contest at the general election. Am I to be the scapegoat? This threat is what kept John Gary Evans and others from forcing the issue. It is also what frightened Tillman into line. I did my duty as I saw it and I am willing to take my medicine like a man. But I refuse to permit one J of the men who was as much in favor of it as I to have the monuI mental cheek to twit me with "Bull Moose." You are tarred with the same stick. I stated in a letter once that I would support you as the Bleaseite candidate if you proved to be the 1 strongest, otherwise I would support John L McLaurin. I can't help it because you cannot measure up to a standard that will lift you out of obscurity. I have no malice towards you and after our conversation on the train going up to Hendersonyille, cannot understand why you persist in attacking me. Unless indeed it be a last desperate effort to draw to yourself the notice of the press, which seems to either have forgotten you or never have 1 had the pleasure of your acquaintance. This is not the first time I have had minnows to nibble at my hook or torn-tits to challenge my fire, but I have, and do still, refuse to waste my bait and ammunition on such trifling targets. Regretting my inability to afford Mr Rembert, through a useless and unproductive controversy, that publicity he seems so much in need of, lorn i Very respectfully, W P Beard, Abbeville, S C, Sept 6. 191M. i Clothed.

One That Shauld Be Heeded by Kingstree Residents. Frequently the first sign of kidney trouble is a slight ache or pain in the loins. Neglect of this warning makes the way easy for more serious troubles?dropsy, gravel, Bright's disease. 'Tis well to pay attention to the first sign. Weak kidneys generally grow weaker and delay is often dangerous. Residents of this locality place reliance in Doan's Kidney Pills. This tested remedy has been used in kidney troubles over 50 years?is recommended all over the civilized world. Read the following: J F Turbeville, 117 S Jarrott St, Florence, S C, says: "I am confident that Doan's Kidney Pills are a good kidney remedy and act just as represented. Pains in my back annoyed me a great deal and I also had trouble from irregular passages of the kidnpr spprptinns Doan's Kidnpv Pills gave me relief from these symptoms of kidney complaint.

Teresa Carreno, the eminent woman pianist, indulging in reminiscences of her career of fifty years before the puhllc, tells a story of TscnaiicowpKi and Rubinstein, which. In one respect. Is Illuminating. Rubinstein, the great Russian mas ter, composer and performer of his time, Is seated In his study when Tschalkowskl arrives and humbly asks permission to dedicate to the great man a concerto for piano and orchestra. Rubinstein examines the composition hastily; flies Into a terrible rage; shakes his leonine head rnd asks the affrighted Tschalkowskl how he dares to offer to dedicate this "trash" to a man of such eminence. Thereupon, Tschalkowskl leaves the house, and by chance, meeting the conductor Von Bulow, offers him the dedication, which is accepted. % Observe the mutations of time! Rubinstein was a great musician, a remarkable performer, but not a composer of the fl' " rank by any means. Tschalkowskl has sprung Into the first rank of composers and is generally regarded by musicians as one of the greatest musical geniuses Russia has produced. A dedication by him of one of his works Is In Itself title to unusual distinction, and will make for the perpetuation of any one's fame, while, as the years bring a lessening of memory of Rnhinstein's wonderful playing, his reputation Is bound to diminish. Thus, even the pet of fortune and circumstances can afford to be courteous, for posterity often rewards cour. tesy and properly punishes overweening self-esteem. TELLS OF BROTHER NOVELIST Interesting Reminiscences Related by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle of Qeorge Meredith. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, speaking at the annual dinner in aid of the Newsvenders* Benevolent and Provident institution, gave some personal reminiscences of George Meredith. In the year 1894-5 Sir Arthur visited the novelist at his residence at Boxhill, in Surrey. "When I went there I inadvertently offended him in one ?"T' XJq mat m a at th A door. He told me he had Just come from the top of a high hill near the park. I expressed my amazement. He asked me why I was so surprised, and I said I thought he was an Invalid. He said that would be the sort of compliment one would pay to an octogenarian. "Subsequently a maid servant brought In a jelly or blanchmange, and Meredith, looking at the shivering lump, expressed himself in a characteristic phrase?Just such a one as he would put in the mouth of one of his characters. He said, 'The jelly seems as treacherous as a Trojan horse.' "Meredith was fond of a bottle of wine, but his state of health when I saw him forbade him taking any inlAvUanl Un Yi a A o K^tHo WA>^C?UV. AlV U?u n . vvv??v vv? . v. with cobwebs brought up for me, and asked If I could drink somo. I said I did not think there would be any difllculty. I finished the bottle, and Mera dlth expressed his gratification, saying that on one occasion some one only drank one glass of a bottle he had opened and he had the mortification of seeing the rest of the contents wasted."?London Mail. Instalment Plan, The late Police Captain William H. Hodgklns, of New York, who died fram cardiac strain that he brought on by reducing his weight over fifty pounds In three weeks, hated corpulence, and often regaled his friends with anecdotes that had corpulence for their butt. "I went to a melodrama the other night," Captain Hodgklns said one afternoon to a police reporter. "The heroine was fat?fatter than myself. "In the second act she fell over board, and the hero, a little, scrawny chap, plunged after her, and seemed to be having a good deal of difficulty in swimming with her toward ths yacht "As the hero splashed and strur gled under his heavy burden a god yelled from the gallery: "TouU never do it that way, bo! Save what you can now, and come back for the rest Hake three tripe, If necessary.'" When Murray Tackles Oedipus. Classical scholars have not exactly complained, but have pointed out that when Prof. Gilbert Murray translates Euripides into English verse he slides that dramatist over his rough spots by doing mediocre Euripides into gorgeous and splendid Murray. It is better than Euripides, to be sure; but it isn't Euripides. There will be no difficulty of this kind in Professor Murray's newest task, the Oedipus Colonus. Murray at his murrayest will have all he can do to keep up to the sustained elevation of Sophocles. But there Is hardly a living hand worthier of the task, and Joy be the consequence.?Boston Transcript. Asking Too Much. A large shepherd dog owned by Dr. j George W.
