Of course our sympathies are with those candidates who didn't even make the second primary. Defeated candidates may find solace in the fact that they will have the privilege of offering themselves to the public two years hence. September 4, Labor Day, has been fixed as the day for calling the biggest railroad strike in the history of the United States, provided, in the meantime, the National Congress does not intervene to prevent it. We hope the worst may not come to pass. ArthurC Stevenson, aged 35 years, sales manager for the National Cash Register Co at Charleston, committed suicide Monday night by firing a 38 calibre bullet through his heart. Stevenson was married and had a young child, but wife and cnild were away on a visit when this promising young man became melancholy and "tired of life" and ended it by self destruction while sitting at his office desk where a photograph of his wife and baby sat in full view of his melancholy mind. What a pity that men are thus forced to commit such acts. Stevenson apparently had everything to make hi? life one of happiness. "What Do You Know?" How many times have you been asked this identical question by the editor of this paper? Too many times to remember, perhaps. Now let us suggest that you change the accepted order of proceedure for one that would be a vast improvement. Instead of waiting for us to ask I you, suppose you just take the initiative and tell us, or write us, or phone us what you know in the nature of news. That little piece of- information you have revolving around in your cranium may not be of great importance to you, but to others it may l?e of vital imerest?may even be of considerable value. Every p.oee ox news you read in this paper we have received from some source or other. The efforts j of these people make the paper of | n?wl valiio h. r/\ii I CillCI 1I11^1V*?1 clIIv? > aiuv tv/ j vu. Now suppose you reciprocate and do as much for them. Tell us what you know. Silverman's popular "introductory sale" is still from# on and from the number of people visiting this big new store it would seem that the occasion is proving highly successful from both a business and a social point of view. Brains and energy make a splendid team, but in single harness neither is worth o hot dog. | COOPER IN PUBLIC STATEMENT f F | SPEAKS SQUARELY FOR MANNIN6. t Laurens August 30:?The Hon Robert A Cooper tonight gave the ^ following statement relative to the ^ Gubernatorial race: "I am deeply -f grateful to the many friends in all ^ sections of the State who gave tne t( their support in Tuesday's primary. ^ Notwithstand the loyal support of i ? . . ... . .? true and tried friends, I have been ; defeated and the second primary! will be had with Gov Manning and former Gov Blease as contestants. a Among those who gave me their ! support are former supporters of c these two gentlemen and i am not ; unmindful of their preferences. I recognize the right of every citizen to cast his ballot for the man of his choice. I know, too, that I have some friends who think I should k make no statement at all at this " time, and I respect their judgment ^ highly, but I can't and don't propose r to evade a stand for what I conceive tl to be the best interest of my State, n Without attempting to give my reasons in detail, I believe I can best p serve my State at this time by sup- g porting Governor Manning. A man n in public life should act according h to the dictates of his conscience and * judgment without regard to the a effect which his course may have |j upon his personal political fortune, f J ^A??orQf onu trv*nnor t ttUU 911UU1U aisu lUigvv uuj which may have been done him * when what he cnnceived as his duty t to his State is at stake. I do not d presume to dictate to the friends a who voted for me. They have a ^ 1' sovereign right to their ballot. I make this statement as to myself ^ for the reasons set forth above and further that I may not be accused t! of political cowardice or of sulking P in my tent." ^ Card of Thanks. n This is to express my profound t! thanks to the voters of Williams- ti burg who have stuck by me in the ? race for re-election to the office of n Treasurer. I will be in the second c primary on Tuesday, September 12, and I trust that my friends will con- v tinue to give me their support. j| Again thanking you, one and all, for F what you have done for me, and e what you are going to do for me on f, September 12, I am very obediently yours, t .1 Wesley Cook. f ;?? ii Mr Mclnnes concedes Mr Rags- o dale's election to Congress by a ma- a jority of 500 votes. h .?. t Card of Thanks. 0 To Voters of Williamsburg County: I take this method of expressing sincere thanks for the splendid sup- .j port you gaye me in the primary Tuesday, but with it all I failed to c be elected, and am forced into a ? ? 1 " ntifk nna nnnnnanf 0CCUUU piKliaijr null vuv vKft/vMvM.v I hope to win and with the continu- ^ ed support and earnest co-operation of my friends I will win.

I enclose a clipping from the louston Chronicle, about the largest aily paper in the State,showing the npression the South Carolina solicrs made upon the people of Hous-' >n as they passed through there on! ieir way to the border, thinking it ill be interesting to most of your ihsr?rihprs_ Crops of all kinds in this section re good, but this is not the case in 11 parts of the State. Hoping for The Record all sucr'ss, I am, Very respectfully, J M Shaw. Bartlett, Tex, August 28. Houston saw the sons of old friends ist night when the Palmetto regi-1 lent from Charleston, S C, went | hrough on the Southern Pacific to \ 11 Paso. There are no more brilliant j ecords in American history than hat borne b} this famous old comland. Antedating the Revolution by lany years, the regiment has taken art in every war America has enaged in. When Washington's decilated and starving army was awaitig annihilation at Valley Forge, fter the British had swept the nor- j hern colonies,it was Marion,Pickens nd Sumter of South Carolina, Wilams and Jackson of Georgia and a ew others who turned the tide of he war for indenpence at Cow Pens, king's Mountain and Guilford Courtouse. And the boys who came hrough yesterday evening are the ecendants of these men, and literlly so, for there has been practical7 no immigration to South Carona from abroad and there the urest American stock is found in he United States. Texans need not be reminded of he part the Palmetto Regiment layed in the Mexican war, for they rere first or with the first in every attle. It was the same Palmetto Regilent, then grown to an army corps, hat, under Generals Bee and Bardw, changed defeat to victory at lull Run in the Civil war, and these len in particular who began the exitement on Fort Sumter in 1861. In the Spanish-American war they rere not given an opportunity, belg sent to camp at Chickamauga 'ark, Ga, where they silently watchA /IrtntU rtAmn + ll ?rK u ucaiu Lumc vija vugu vjpuviu ever. They are the first of the 100,000 roops that bave come through louston who came with bands playlg,colors flying and in full marching rder. They made a very different ppearance from the gunless, diseveled, straggling hordes that have aken an hour or so here to stretch n their way to the border from ther States. They looked like what hey are?soldiers. The Palmetto Regiment, while his war is on, is known as the Second South Carolina Infantry, Colnel Holmes B Springs of Georgeown commanding. J. S.

Some four years ago Miss Ela Cannon of Hemingway went to Richmond, Va, to enter the business world. She took a business course at one of the colleges in that city. Having completed it with thoroughness and honor, she secured a position with the E B Taylor Co, one of the largest crockery stores in the South. She gave entire satisfaction in her business relation with this firm, thereby writing success across her venture into the business world. Not only did Miss Cannon weave success into her business life but in the social and religious life as well. BeinR an earnest Christian and a Methodist, she connected herself with the Broad Street Methodist church and there proved her worth and usefulness in consecrated service to her Lord and Master, as teacher in the Sunday-school, as missionary secretary of the Sunday-school, superintendent of the missionary department in the Epworth league and in many other ways served, in a sineorp and pfficipnt manner, the cause of Christ. At the annual State Epworth League convention of the Virginia conference held in Richmond about three months ago, Miss Cannon volunteered for definite missionary work,being willing to go to any land or people to which God may call her She will have two years of preparation at the Scarritt Bible Training school in Kansas City, Mo, and will leave Richmond for that school about the first week in September. Broad Street church, of which Miss Cannon is a member, will assist her in the preparatory course. She has greatly endeared herself to the Richmond people, and her friends there, as here, rejoice in the dedication of the life of a noble young woman to a high and holy purpose. A True Friend. Cure for Cholera Morbus. "When our little boy, now seven years old, was a baby he was cured of cholera morbus by Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy," writes Mrs Sidney Simmons, Fair Haven, N Y. "Since then other members of my family have used this valuable medicine for colic and bowel troubles with good satisfaction and I gladly endorse it as a remedy of exceptional merit." Obtainable everywhere. Thomas H Peeples of South Carolina was elected president of the National Association of Attorneys General at its tenth snnual meeting held in Chicago this week. Liver Trouble. "Iam bothered with liver trouble about twice a year," writes Joe Dingman, Webster City, Iowa. "I have pains in my side and an awful soreness in my stomach. Then I heard of Chamberlain's Tablets and tried them. By the time I had used half a bottle of them I was feeling Sne and had 110 signs of pain." Obtainable everywhere. The girl who makes love to two men at the same time seldom gets either, and she gets all she deserves. TO AILING WOMEN. A Little Sound Advice Will Help Many a Sufferer in Klngsiree. No woman should consider herself healthy and well if the kidneys are weak. Poisons that pass off in the urine when the kidneys are well are retained in the body when the kUneys are disordered. This is the true cause of many bearing-down pains, lameness, backache, etc. Uric poisoning also causes headaches, di'/.7.v speils,languor,nervousness and rheumatic pain. When suffering so, try Doan's Kidney Pills. You *ill get better as the kidneys get better, and health ?ill fkn 1/irlnotTO q rn Win return wiicij iuc aiuucjo ?iv. well. Let a fellow sufferer tell you about Dean's Kidney Pills. Mrs C M Chandler, Beauregard St, Lake City, S C, says: "My kidneys gave me considerable trouble. I had pains in my back and sides and could not rest well. Mornings I was tired and weak and also suffered from dizzy spells. The kidney secretions passed irregularly. When friends recommended Loan's Kidney Pills I got some, and they relieved me of the ailments." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy?get Doan's Kidney Pills?the same that Mrs Chandler had. Foster-Milburn Co, Props, Buffalo, N Y.

Already the troops of King Ferdinand are seeking entry into the plains of Tranyslvania through the Eastern Carpathians toward Kronstadt, the chief city in Transylvania, and in the direction of Hermannstadt. evidently in an endeavor to press northward through Transylvania toward the Bukowina and Galician borders and to take in the rear of the Austro-Germans trying to hold back the Russians. Nothing has come through to indicate what preparation has been made by the Bulgarians to offset a probable attack by the Roumanians along the Danube front or a possible attempt by the Russians at invasion by means of the Dnaube and through Dobruja or by the Black Sea. It is estimated that Roumania will be able to throw nearly a million men into the field. Just the Thing for Diarrhoea. "About two years ago I had a se ?t a:?I.,..* vert; illUMJh. U1 UUUIIR'Cil V>I.1U11 lifted over a week," writes W C Jones, Buford, N D. "I became so weak that I could not stand upright. A druggist recommended Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. The first dose relieved me and within two days I was as well as ever." Many druggists recommend this remedy because they know that it is reliable. Obtainable everywhere. Owners of Railroads. It has been generally a&umed that the stock of the railroads of the country is owned by a comparatively few wealthy people, when as a matter of fact it is just the reverse. Reports filed with the Interstate Commerce commission, as required by law, show that the majority of stockholders are people of compara | tively small means, and that this stock is held in comparatively every walk of life. The Illinois Central, one of the smaller roads, has 11,000 stockholders; 42,000 people own the stock of the Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe; the Pennsylvania is owned by 92,000 people, and other roads are in proportion. The interests of these people aod of the great, consuming public, should also be considered in any settlement that is finally effected in the dispute between the roads and their employs.
