There is ?more Catarrh in this sec? tion of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the lasi; few years was supposed to be in? curable. For a great many years, doc? tors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure^ with local treatment prononuced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment.. Hal's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It. acts directly on the blood and mu- j cons surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any acse it rails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address, F. J.

Feeling Ran High for a Little While, But Messrs. Please and Dominick Acted As Pacificators-The Hon. ".Hub" Evans Also Sought to Revel in the Limelight. Newberry, Aug. 14.-There was some excitment at the State cam? paign meeting here today. For a few moments it seemed that there might be a persona! difficulty, but quiet was soon restored and the incident was at an end, so far as Newberry is concern? ed. The incident >occurred during the speech of Mr. J. Fraser Lyon, can? didate for attorney general. Mr. Ragedale, his opponent,: had asked why the dispensary investigating committee, if it had discovered cor? ruption in the management of the dispensary, had not brought indict? ments against those who were cor? rupt in order to have them punished. During the course of his address, Mr. Lyon said that Mr. Ragedale knew that the law said nothing about indictments being brought by the committee. "He knows that it is not the duty of the committee, I brand it as the trick of a political demagogue and trickster, and he knows it. Mr. Ragsdale, who was standing near the platform, said, "I don't know anything of the kind, it is absolutely untrue." Mr. Lyon, continuing, said: 'If he or and other living being can point to one sword or line in the law under which our committee is working which ether suggests or requires one^single member of that committee to make indictments or bring indictments against anybody I am wiling to quit the race. He knows it and everybody else knows it.' The Peace Is Preserved. i By this time Mr. Ragsdale had got j on the stand and was standing near j Mr. Lyon. He approached Mr. Lyon j and said: "Knows what?" Mr Lj-on started to reply, the gen- j tlem^n were close together, and there was a rush for the stand. Mr. H. H. j Evans, former chairman cf the State ? board of control, was in front of the i stand, where he had been during the j whole of the meeting prior to thay? time. He was approaching the stand, as he said afterwards, to prevent any possible trouble. Mr. Cole L. Blease. candidate for Governor, and Mr. F. j K. Dominick, countv chairman, were i between Mr. Lyon and Ragsdale be? fore there was any time for any fur? ther words. The people, however, continued to crowd the stand, and j the tension was high for a few sec- j onds. " Mr. Blease' addressing the j crowd, told the people that he had a j chance to be Governor and asked j them for his sake not to have any dis- j turbance in Newberry. Quiet was restored and Mr. Lyon continued his address. He said that ! he regretted exceedingly that his ipresen^e had been the cause of the tumult or disturbance. "I don't bring any charge against any man," he said. "So far as my comments in this' campaign, are concerned they have been based upon evidence which has been sworn to by men in whom I have great confidence and others in whom I have no confidence what? ever. I wish to say this. ;hat if a member of that ol ? board o? con-.ru! wished to say anything or to exoner? ate his character, if he regarded any j mud being put upon it. he had the op- | portunity to come before the whole ? people of South Carolina and speak i just as he might speak before the com- j mitt?e and he would be a part of the j permanent records of the State of South Carolina." "My friends," he concluded, 'I have j very little else to say to yau today, j but I want to repeat again that I don': [ believe that any grafter in Souh Caro? lina will vote for J. Fraser ?yon." At the conclusion of Mr. Lyon's speech Mr. H. H. Evans, who was standing in front of the platform, said that any man who said that he (Evans) was a grafter was something unprintable. Speaking of Mr. Lyon, he said: "He said on the ether stumps, I dare him to say it." Mr. Evans was surrounded hy some of his friends and Mr. Lyon was on the plat? form surrounded by his friends. Why the Scene Occurred. Other candidates were introduced an<J the meeting proceeded. As a matter of fuel, for several days the people throughout the State have looked foi some excitement at the meeting here today. When Mr. Lyon began his speech the crowd present, knowing the feeling that existed in regard to the dispensary investiga? tion thought that possibly there might be some unpleasantness and the tension was high. When Mr. Ragsdale went on the stund t<> reply to Mr. Lyon's statement it was as if the chord had snapped and there was a rush for the stand. That precipita? ted the whole excitement. Had it r.nt been that something of the kind was expected the incident would probably never have occurred. Mr. Blease and Mr. Dominick were first between Mr. Lyon and Mr. Rags dale and Mr. Blease's appeal to t crowd stopped the rush towards t stand. During the whole oxcitem* there was not a weapon drawn n any attempt to draw a weapon. There were about one tho usa people present and they had th< friends among the candidates, b they were not looking for trouble, a: it was simply the excitement of t moment in connection with the r mors that had been circul?t throughout the State that caused t. rush towards the^ stand. Ragsdale and Evans Make Stat men?s. Your correspondent had a ta with both Mr. Evans and Mr. Rag dale this afternoon. Mr. Evans sa that he had no idea of anything whi he first approached the stand duri] Mr. Lyon's speech except to preve a possible difficulty between Mr. Ly< and Mr. Ragsdale. Mr. Ragsdale said: I was very pa ticular in my speech to state that would make no personal attacks upc the character of any one. I confine myself strictly to criticisms of M Lyon's political record. I was ve: much surprised when he 3enounc( me as a demagogue and a politic trickster, because I have onducted rr campaign on a high plane and ha-" refrained from doing that which unfair. I have interrupted him bi fore, and I interrupted him today b< cause I felt that he had no right 1 attack my character, and I prefem for the matter to be adjusted at ti time and before the people where tl charges were made. I merely wei forward on th? stump in order to d< fend my character and to put myse in a proper light before the people 1 'whom I am a comparative strange Ragsdale Had Criticised Lyon Firs During- the course of his speech M Ragsdale had severely criticised M Lyon's record, saying he had sper fifteen thousand dollars, had err ployed several detectives, a corps < lawyers, and had the power to hoi up a half million dollars' worth c cairns, had unlimited power and y< had prosecuted nobody for being co: rupt, having brought no indictment against any one. He had also said i was strange that Mr. Lyon ha thought it necessary to secure a cer tillea te from the Abbeville Bar to th effect that Mr. Lyon was a practicin attorney and had had cases in th Supreme Court. With the exception of ?his inciden the meeting went along smoothl; throughout. ? Thc Oilier Candidates. The candidates for railroad com missioner spoke first, and were fol lowed by the candidates for Governor There was very little applause of am kind, except thar. Mr. Blease receivec an ovation when he took the stand. Mr. W. A. Edwards was not pres ent and Mr. A. C. Jones was the firs Gubernatorial candidate. He ^atec his position clearly and fully. Mr. J J. McMahan, candidate, made a goo< speech along the line he has take: throughout the campaign. Lieut Governor John T. .Sloan stated \ hi' position and thought he should r< promoted. He attacked Mr. Ansel saying Mr. Ansel loved a pie whici has a prohibition crust and dispen? sary blackberries underneath. Mr Martin F. Ansel advocated go oe roads and stated his position on thc i ; liquor question, wanting to give th? counties local option as between conn" : ty dispensaries and county prohibi i tl on. j Blease Attacks Newberry Prohibition. i Mr. Blease, of Newberry, injected j some ginger into the meeting. He ! was received with liberal applause I and he proceeded to attack prohibi I ti on in Newberry, saying that it was a I farce. He challenged anyone to prove ; corruption in the State dispensary. If j corruption was proven against any j man who was conccted with the dis ; pensary he would himself prosecute j in the Courts. If prohib?:on had been I a success in Newberry he said then ! Mayor Brown should be ashamed of j himself of convicting so many inno i cont men for the violation of the dis ! j ensary law. About this time Mr. I Blease looked over the audience and j spied Bob Porterfield, a negro who j has several times been convicted in i Mayor Brown's Court or violating i ; th*: dispensary law. * j Hello, Bob. said Mr. Blease, I trust ?your business is still flourishing, j Mr TtJease said that he was ! ashamed to say that white men were j backing negroes who were selling j mean d.juor. The dispensary hal I ?in:ply teen removed from under the ; Crotwell Hotel to the express office and j cider was being sold in Newberry that ! r?"t only make a rnn.i fight his moth j er-in-law, but would make him fight j his ywgest baby. During the afternoon Mr. P.. I. Man? ning and Mr. Joel E. Bronson reach I ed Newberry and both were Intro i laced and made strong speeches. Mr. j Manning advocating the Rayso-Man j nil g bill and a purified dispensary, i and Mr. Bruns.in advocating prohibi ? tion. Mr. Manning spoke af good roads ? as hoing essential -tu tl e advancement j of the agricultural interests <?s well j ns th--* comfort of the people of the ! rural districts. In his discussion of Too j '? liquor question he said he believed i the dispensary law should be so amended that those who would have liquor could get decent liquor without violating the law by buying from a party whose interest was not to in? crease the sales, but who stood sim? ply as an officer of the State. Messrs. Wyatt Aiken and Julius E. Boggs, candidates for Congress, spoke last. Meeting Was Representative. The crowd present at the meeting today represented every part of New? berry County. Chairman Fred K. Dominick presided throughout and prayer was spoken at the opening of the meeting by the Rev. George A. Wright, pastor of the First Baptist Church. An excellent barbecue dinner was served by Mr. James Dunbar. The meeting was held at Jone's Grove, about one mile from the Court House. While the weather was warm the heat in the grove was not excessive and the day was very pleasantly spent by those who attended the meeting. --News and Courier. ^ THE STATE CAMPAIGN. Candidates Spoke at Greenwood Un der Difficulties. Greenwood, August 15.-Notwith? standing the intense excitement among the.people here over the dia? bolical outrage committed yesterday and the pursuit of the fiendish per? petrator today, the candidates had their turn according to pro? gramme. Chairman "Dave" Magill had in mind the stormy meeting at Newberry yesterday and made the positive and flat-footed announcement that "there will be no interruption of the speakers and no disturbance here today," add? ing that policemen had been stationed in-the hail. Mr. A. C. Jones led off by criticising Ansel's traitorship tc the prohibition cause. He had turned his back on his home, his church and Christian people. He charged Manning with responsibility fer defeat of the Mor? gan biil. Mr. Manning deplored the fact that education is such as to make possible the infamous crime that happened near here yesteday. He stated that a similar infamy occurred in his town of Sumter and a desperate "effort was made to lynch some one who after? wards proved to be the wrong man. If elected governor he would recom? mend the legislature that the pen? alty of such offenses be changed. He said he believed that much of the cry against the State dispensary is due to the prejudices existing when the law was enacted, intensified later by the mismanagement cf the system. As a father of beys, he considered there was good in the lav,- and it ought to be purified and protected When the meeting was called to or? der somewhat later than usual there were nearly 200 person?, including ladies, present, about fifty more rm?n came in later. Several of the speak? ers made reference to yesterday's la? mentable occurrence and declared for lav.- and order, conspicicus were the cool, clear cut and able remarks .of Mr. McMahan against lvnching. He urged that the r.egroes be de? ported gradually to some other coun? try and his idea was applauded. On the other hand Please declared that he would rather be at the ?cene of the man hunt than here speaking and the loudest applause that rang through the court house was when he said he believed the people of Green? wood would do their part towards settling the negro question before the sun sinks in the western horizon. Mr. McMahan spoke strongly about the brutalising influence of murder and taking human life, said he, there is an injury to every white man who is present at a lynching and who par ticipates. There is nothing so pleasant as that bright, cheerful, at-peace-with- j the-worid feeling when you sit down ! to your breakfast. There is nothing so conciucve to good work and good results.
