SOLICITOR COOPER AND GOVERNORSHIP, THE QUESTION OF LAURENS MAP ENTERING RACE IS AGAIN BEING AGITATED. Columbia, January 30:?The ques tion of whether Solicitor Robert P Cooper will run for Governor thii summer is again being agitated, ant fKo DO ODO Will ue auic LU ucuuc Ilia question until Mr Cooper makes i statement himself about the matter This talk was heard from last sum mer, but appeared to quiet down However, that it is again being agi tated is evidenced by the the follow ing, which appeared in a recent issu< of the Anderson Daily Mail: "On returning from Columbia to day Anderson citizens who had spen some time around the halls of th< General Assembly declare that th< 'Robert A Cooper for Governor sentiment has come boldly an< strongly to the front again, an< they firmly believe that the Lauren Solicitor will be in the race whei the gong rings. "The Cooper sentiment is genera throughout the State, according t information that has radiated int Columbia from all sections, and it i growing stronger. Great pressur is being brought to bear on him,am there seems to be no doubt in th minds of many but that he will be candidate this summer. The rac will then be a three-cornered one with Governor Manning asking re election and Mr Blease and M Cooper, declared the Columbia vis itor. "Now, since Mr McLaurin ha been re-elected warehouse com mil sioner, it is practically certain h will not make the race for Govemoi He recently intimated that he woul ran should he be defeated for r< election as commissioner." APPARENTLY SOMETHING IN IT. There can be no doubt that ther is something in all this, but just ho' much is largely a matter of indivic ual opinion. Some of those who ar urging Mr Cooper to run for Go^ ernor are "sore" on Governor Mar ning, and still others, according t all signs and some additional infoi mation, are affiliated with the Bleas faction, and are whispering this ir formation into Mr Cooper's ^eai hoping to get him into the race t split the Manning vote, and thu give Mr Blease some chance, as the figure that a solid vote behind Gov ?rnor Manning leaves absolutel nothing but certain and swift de feat for Mr Blease in a race be tween him and the Governor alone Of course, Mr Cooper is a ver; popular man, but it is significan 11?? ?* KJo raol frionHo race for Governor. He has said himself that he will not run for Lieutenant Governor, and pressure is being brought to bear on him tc make the race for Governor as the a (fiat a {{reai iuauj ui mo *kvu?b those who are interested in Mr Coop er's.politieal future, and are sincere ly desirous that he do the righ thing, are advising him not to run but to wait until 1918, when he car win in a walk, according to all th( indications. They don't want-to sec him slaughtered in 1916, and thej don't believe that he will yield tc the blandishments of at least some of those urging him that wish tc crush Governor Manning and care really nothing for Mr Cooper. Those who worked for the popular and able solicitor in 1914 are against him running this summer, for they believe the fight will be straight and clear between Governor Manning * * ? ana nis constructive policies uu mc one hand and the opposition which is attempting to get behind Mr Blease and run him. TRYING TO CAUSE DIVISION. "Knowing from the bitter experience of 1914 that a house divided against itself cannot stand, efforts are being made by the opposition to divide the Manningites and at the 3ame time to avoid any split in their own ranks. They are trying to Hret the Hon VV A Stuckey, of Lee <.cotmty, at least some of them are. to take second place on the ticket with Mr Blease. but there is a large part of the opposition who think Hint Mr Stuckey should make the Remedy Prescri by ' Gompouod of Simple Laxative Herbs' Proves Most Efficient. Dr W A Evans, writing for the ! Chicago Tribune, makes the asser- j ^ tion that practically everyone, atj 9 some time or other, suffers from' i pnnstfnation. This applies regard-1 i "r~ ? ? t less of age or condition in life. The congestion of stomach waste in the bowels is evidenced in various ways; bloat, eructation of foul stom- i - ach gases, sick headache, langour, | . all indicate constipation, and call for . prompt attention, not only to relieve the present discomfort but also to avoid possible disease that fole lows neglect of this important func-1 tion. Harsh cathartics and violent purt gatives should not be emplo3red, as these afford only temporary relief, I e while they serve to shock the entire ' e system. A mild laxative such as Dr I ' Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is far prefj erable and is now the remedy genj erally used and prescribed by many doctors. It is free from opiate or 8 narcotic drugs, acts easily and pleasn antly, without griping or other pain and is a safe, effective family remedy. 1 =========== 0 farmers' candidate. The secret Far0 mers' Union is looking to Mr Stucs key and they may yet induce him to e make the race. Just how or why ^ farmers should put forward a lawe yer for their candidate is something a which the politicians haven't yet e h*?pn ahlf? to successfully explain. J ' and it is not believed they can do so f* to the secret Farmers' Union. r Just to add to the gaiety of the political forecasting, the following hand picked ticket for the "BleaseIS ites" has been suggested by the Anh derson Farmers' Tribune, a stalwart e and powerful supDorter of the Blease r- faction: d FOR GOVERNOR. * Coleman L Blease, of South Carolina. FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR. e William A Stuckey, of Lee. ^ FOR SECRETARY OF STATE. Eugene R Buckingham, of Aiken. e ; FOR COMPTROLLER GENERAL. James H Craig, of Anderson. O FOR STATE TREASURER. r_ Daniel M Miles, of Spartanburg, ie FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL. 1- Thomas H Peeples, of Barnwell, r, FOR ADJUTANT GENERAL, o James H Claffy, of Orangeburg. lB FOR RAILROAD COMMISSIONER. y Jeff D Edens, of Marlboro FOR COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE. y William T Jones, of Greenwood. FOR SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION. W A Brown, of Marion. All of which adds to the sum total t of the political situation, simply opinions.? W F Caldwell in NewsidCourier, ' CALOMEL SALIVATES t AND MAKES YOU SICK. j Acts Like Dynamite on a Sluggish Liver and You Lose a Day's Work. There's no reason why a person ' should take sickening, salivating ) calomel when 50 cents buys a large ? bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone?a > perfect substitute for calomel. It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid which will start your liver just as surely as calomel, but it doesn't make you sick and cannot salivate. ; Children and grown folk can take , Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is , perfectly harmless. /"1- ' - ' ? /InrifYOVAIlS rlrnff It is L/au>mri 15 a uaujf;^i uuu ?

Don't lose a day's work, Take a spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone instead and you will wake up feeling great. No more biliousness, constipation, sluggishness, headache, coated tongue or sour stomach. Your druggist says if you don't find Dodson's Liver Tone acts better than horrible calomel your money is waiting for you. Severe Cold Quickly Cured. "On December first I had a very severe cold or attack of the grip as it may be, and was nearly down sick in bed," writes J 0 Metcalf, Weatherby, Mo.

A bottle of Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin should have a place in every family medicine chest. A trial bottle, free of charge, can be obtained by writing to Dr W B Caldwell, 454 Washington St, Monticello, 111. Leo Laconics.
