A Card from Mr J 3 Chandler. Editcr County Record:? I am proud to say that Kingstree has as many high-toned and law abidhg citizens as any town its size in the State. Her merchants, with one cr two exceptions, have built up an enviable reputation for fair dealings and low prices toward her country cousins. But I am afraid that they, like the good people of Charleston, have decided to fold their hands and let their city government drift to the devil. I am not upholding any violation of law. Far from it. I know that the legal or illegal sale of whiskey or its drinking to excess is wrong. But when your city authorities hale up a set of thoughtless and inexperienced onnnrrv hovs. and convict, with overwhelming evidence to the contrary, I say, Mr Editor, it is time for the best element of your town to cry out, "Enough." If your honorable Mayor and your town attorney are so anxious to put down the traffic of whiskey why didn't they take action against one of your citizens when a man of the highest standing reported this with the witnesses and the goods to back up his charge? Again, if your Mayor and attorney are so anxious to give a dear: government, why did they allow Policeman Epps to go around several days before this case was called and select men for this jurv whom he knew by previous agreement. would bring in a verdict of guilty, regardless of the evidence? ' God pity the man who is wining to agree on a verdict before hearing the evidence. I dare Mr Epps to deny that he did not try to sound, as it were, several men of your town as to how they stood in regard to this case. I wish to state also that one of the jurors drawn in the first hearing, and who was loudest in his demands for verdict of guilty, is not only a law-breaker himself, but one of the worst Kind, by selling Colt's automatic pistols to young boys of t he country. Let him whom the cap fits wear it. I dare him to come at me through your columns and I will produce the witnesses and also the pistols.

"I am very glad to say a few words in praise of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy," writes Mrs Lida Dewey, Milwaukee, Wis.

No family with children should be without it as it gives almost immediate relief in cases of croup."
