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.

NEWBERRY MEETING STORMY
RAG SD ALE INCENSED AT LYON,
BLT NOTHING HAPPENS.
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.

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. The healthy man with a
healthy mind and body is a better
fellow, a better workman, a hett?r
citiz n than the man or woman who
is handicapped by some disability,
however slight. A slight disorder of
the stomach will derange your body, j
y.'Lir thoughts and your disposition. I
Cet away from the morbidness and !
the blues. Keep your stomach in j
tune and both your brain and body j
will respond. Little indiscretions of
overeating can be easily corrected
