( M'e hardly recognized our old friend, The News and Courier, this morning with its new style of head- J lines. ___________ Pity some of thosejwho are commenting on the candidacy of Mr Charles Carroll Simms for Governor do not learn to spell his name. To ride two horses going in oppo- < site^lirections is about the acrobatic i stunt required of followers of both Blease and Tillman these times. ' Ex-Senator McLaurin has decided ( that.af* r all,he does not want to be ( Governor of South Carolina. Mr , McLaurin has more political sagacity than we gave him credit for. To any one conversant with the history of South Carolina politics for the past two decades the 4 4open letter" controversy between Tillman i 1 *r T ~ nnt tn Bf>V I ana ivici^nuriu is uiunt uw w laughable. - i It is stated in the^press reports | that the dispensary at St George i took in over $200 the first hour af- ter its doors were opened. At that ? rate St George will soon lose its tit- ? ular saintship. < i The latest arrival in newspaperdom is the "State Gazette,"published at Mount Pleasantlonce a week, : with Ethelbert 1. Baier as editor. The first number reached lis last week and it looks good to us. i The marvelous success of the re- , naissance of the songs of a by-gone generation, such as "BenjBolt" and "Silver Threads Among|the Gold," leads us to wonder if a few old-time ^ ?* things, otner man songs, uuguu uut , be revived with profit to the rising ' generation. About the most stinging characterization of Bleaseism we have yet heard is contained in Senator Tillman's "open letter," which was reproduced last week in this paper: "Tillmanism is charged with being the father of Bleaseism; Tillman disowns the paternity, except as a bastard. Bleaseism is the incestuous child of unscrupulous ambition on the body of Tillmanism. Blease has 'stolen the livery of heaven to serve the devil in.'

Benjamin Wofford's bequest might have been left to a better cause. We admire the stand the college authorities have taken in tViic nrviffnr nnrl if WOllld. SUmrife us beyond measure should they recede from it. A North Carolina Legislator has introduced a bill making hazing a felony, granting a pardon to the hazed student who would shoot his persecutors and imposing a jail sentence on college presidents who fail to put a stop to hazing in their institutions. The proposed law is rather drastic,but certainly it is preferable to the system of leaving the voting and helpless "freshman" to the tender mercies of a gang of cow urdly toughs and bullies,which, unfortunately, infest many of otir universities and colleges. It was at a North Carolina university, we believe, that a year or two ago a crowd of young ruffians inflicted fatal injuries upon a fellow student by dememstrating upon him their peculiar ideas of "fun". i Senator Tillman accuses Governor Blease of "stealing the thunder" * 1 1 DUt ol nis speecnes, sucn as mat, elegant expression, "To hell with the Constitution!" of which he elaims to have l>een the prime originator. They do say that Senator Tillman himself is not above assimilating other men's ideas and exploiting them as his own. For instance, the Charlotte Observer, in a recent issue, published an article stating that Tillman's much heralded "reversible cow" was swiped bodily from a cartoon devised by Governor Vance of North Carolina way back in 1880. We can only -ay that the pictures of Vance's cow and Tillman's reversible bovine bear a startling family likeness, considering the difference in their ages. The Kingstree County Record says: "The Orangeburg Times and Democrat says that Senator McLaurin fell, like Cromwell, 'never to rise again.' What Cromwell? Not Oliver, surely." Oliver never fell. Our reference was to Thomas Cromwell, beheaded for high treason by Henry the Eighth for fooling him into a marriage with an ugly German princess whom he had never seen, by means of a doctored picture of > lady. We than*, the esteemed Times and Democrat for the explanation. The language of the quotation is very similar to that in the wellknown soliloquy of Cardinal Wolsey, whom, in the play, "King Henry VIII.," Shakespeare makes to say, in effect, that the poor man that hangs on princes' favors, "when he falls, falls like Lucifer, never to hope again." It happens, too, that Cromwell, who was Wolsey's secretary, in the scene referred to, enters just as the words of the quotation fall from Wolsey's lips. Have you paid for your paper?

Columbia, November 18: -Edward Winbush, a negro, was killed this afternoon by a Sheriff's posse in a canebrake near Frost, a station about five miles from Columbia. Winbush was shot almost to pieces, seventeen bullets taking effect in his body. The negro is the one who shot at Sheriff McCain yesterday and was surrounded in the swamp today. It is said that he was in the act of shooting at one of the posse when a bullet ended his life. Winbush was about 20 years old. Winbush had fought off his pursuers all night and all morning. Bloodhounds were used to trail the negro this morning. The negro fired upon Sheriff McCain last night on a crowded street car when his arrest was attempted. This morn, ing he was located by rural policemen, but escaped after firing at the officers. ECHOES FROM EARLE'S. School Opens Auspicloasly--New Church Building?Local Items. Earl's, November 17: ? Earl's Graded school opened this morning with a large enrollment, the teachers being Miss Sadie E Hill of Cross Hill and Miss Annie Moyd of Andrews. These young ladies have bright and winning personalities and both patrons and pupils are prepossessed with them and look forward to a pleasant and successful school term under their tutelage. The enrollment the opening day was about sixty pupils. ' itil- 1 c? j.ne lueiuueis ux uuuj Baptist church have erected a nice new house of worship and Harmony Methodist members are contemplating remodeling their church at this place. Hope the latter work will soon materialize. Several of our folk attended a hot supper Friday evening at the home of Mrs ? Kellahan. The Carolina Land Co is doing a great work in this section. Several new buildings are going ud in this vicinity. Mr G W Camlin is building six new tenant dwellings on his place near town. n Red Coon. DIRE DISTRESS. It Is Near at Hand to Hundreds o!

A great many say the exhibits were equal to any at the State I Fair, and that seems to be saying a ! great deal. Messrs E J Wilkes and G F Stalvey attended the district convention of Knights of Pythias at Conway last week. Miss Olivia Stuckey was hostess last Wednesday afternoon to the book club. After discussing the matter. Miss Stuckey serv ed delicious refreshments. Several automobile parties went up to Florence Wednesday and Thursday to take in the plays, among whom were: Mr and MrsT J Cottingham, Mr and Mrs F Fenegan, Mr and Mrs W Wesley Singletary, chaperoning Misses Hare, Dillard, Shuler, Owens, Lemond; Messrs J L Richardson, E Bond, S J Sturgeon, S J Cockfield, Dr Brown, and others. Mr and Mrs J M Truluck, Mr and Mrs P H Arrowsmith, Misses Nachman, Messrs J P Matthews, L E NeSmith, ESC Baker and others went up to f Jorence last wees to see the plays and attend the Pee Dee Fair. Mrs R Howie is spending the week in Charleston with her daughter, Mrs Davis Powers, a recent bride. The carnival, which showed here last week, located on the vacant lot south of the Deep River lumber plant, left in all its glory Monday morning. With the exception of one misdemeanor and a charge of larceny against one of the carnival men, which was later cleared up in the magistrate's court, it being a sheer "frame-up" from the beginning, the carnival caused very little business in either the police court or the magisterial bailiwick. Mr J F Rickenbaker has been appointed postmaster at this place, vice Mrs Delia D Carter, resigned, which is very gratifying to his many friends notwithstanding that they regret very much to have Mrs Carter give up this position, she having given more than satisfaction for the past several years. The cool weather af last week brought with it a new impetus in business circles. The streets are thronged every day with our farmer friends who are preparing for the winter days and the tradesmen are kept on the go trying to meet the demands of their customers. The council on Monday night voted $8,164.08 to the commissioners of public works in aid of the 87,500.00 bond issue, with the understanding that the commissioners _i .1J +r\v tko aronfinn nf SUUU1U UUIltiCK-u wi w^ a fully equipped, up-to-the-minute electric lijfht plant to cost about $15,500, to be completely installed and in operation by the 1st of March, 1914.

Good Bowels A An Growing Children Need a Mild Laxative to Foster Regular Bowe! Movement. A a child grows older it requires m' and more personal attention from its mother, and as the functions of the bowels are of the utmost importance to health, great attention should be paid to them. Diet is of great importance, and the mother should watch the effect of certain foods. A food will constiDate one Derson and not another. and so we have a healthy food like eggs causing biliousness to thousands, and a wholesome fruit like bananas constipating many. It is also to be considered that the child is growing, and great changes are taking plfce in the young man or young woman. The system has not yet settled itself to its later routine. A very valuable remedy at this stage, and one which every growing boy and girl should be given often or occasionally, according to the individual circumstances, is Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This a laxative ? ' * - ?- - ? ? ? J ma f Unf i f aim lunic cumuiueu, sv muu mai iv is given to little babies, and yet equally effective in the most robust constitution. At the first sign of a tenoency to constipation give a small dose of Syrupf Pepsin at night on retiring, and prompt action will follow in the morning. It not only acts on the stomach and bowels but its tonic properties build up and strengthen the system generally, which is an opinion shared by Mr John Dey, of Bloomfield, N J.
