Office Seekers Make Their Speech*? to A New Crowd. The campaign meeting at Dalzell on Tuesday last was probably the best attended of the series of meet tings held for the purpose of bringing the candidates for the Senate, House, and county offices and the voters face to face. There was a large assem? blage from all the country tributary to Dalzell, Stateburg, Rafting Creek and also a large delegation from the city of Sumter went up to spend a pleasant day mingling with their friends and enjoying the oratory of the office-seekers. The speeches of the candidates covered practically the same subjects and the same ground as at the pre? vious meetings. The same jokes were told and for those who have been fol? lowing the campaign there was noth? ing of particular interest in the meet? ing, but for those who heard the candidates for the first time the oc? casion was apparently full of inter? est and all the speakers were given an attentive hearing. Senator Clifton introduced new matter into his speech that was listened to with marked in? terest. He explained his position and votes on the mileage book bill and on the Custody of minor children bill. His explanation covered sub? stantially the same ground as did his card published a few days ago, the only difference being that he went somewhat more Into detail. While Mr. C. E Stubbs was on th? stand, he was asked to define his po? sition on the liquor question, all the other candidates for the legislature having done so. He said he was a prohibitionist, and had always been one. but that he would not commit himself as to how he would vote If sent back to the legislature, as he would be governed by conditions, that the liquor question was some? what settled now and he would not try to disturb conditions unneces? sarily Mr Lever was not present. having a previous engagement to speak at North, Orangeburg county. Dr. Ray merely announced his candidacy. He said he did not think it fair for him to make a speech when his opponent was absent. Following the speaking dinner wa: served to the crowd by the ladies Ol the Dalzell Methodist church. The. had provided abundant and elegant dinner and the patronage was ab that they could have desired, for the ladles were kept busy serving th< hungry crowd for more than an hour. IN TROUBLE AGAIN. Curtis Ford Sent General Sessions Time. to the Court of for Trial this Prafg the Daily Item, August 25. Curtis Ford, a negro boy who has the reputation of being one of the worst sneak thieves in this locality and who has been tried and convict? ed of theft several times In the past, is In serious trouble again. Monday night, between the hours of eight and nine o'clock, he enter? ed the home of Mrs. J. J. Dunlap on Kendrlck street, evidently for th< purpose of stealing, but was discov? ered shortly after entering the house and forced to take to his heels. Sergt. MeKagen was notified of the OOQUrr?CSi and soon captured Cur? tis, who waived a preliminary, and was committed to Jail in default of bond, arid will be tried at the court of general sessions.

Jarnos WIHO Does Not Ap? prove of Local Option Virus of the Candida tee. Mr. Editor: I regret exceedingly to see in your issue of Aug. 10 that the men vho are asking to represent the voters In Bumter county are all, except one, with one accord for so called local option. Thll In the lace of the fact that a majority of the voters In the county have already voted for prohibition. This In plain words is asking the prohibition voters to endorse the present state of affairs where the so called local optioii lountles are flood? ing the State with Whiskey. They have certainly made local option a fraud on Its face. Why should they have so much regard for the rights of the whiskey men and their friends, in live counties, to home rule? What about the rights of the thirty-eight prohibition counties? Are they to have no protection against this vile traffic. Where Is the right of the majority to rule? When some of the representatives from this county voted against pro? hibition in the legislature and I ask? ed them how they could vote in favor of whiskey selling, they said thev had been elected on a local option plat? form and could not violate their pledge. Now, therefore, I warn ev? ery prohibitionist who votes for them, after reading their statements, that they will have it flung in their teeth that they had endorsed this in? famous local option state of affairs. I for one will never vote for any man who is willing to vote for the sale of liquor In South Carolina. I believe a just God will hold every man responsible for the results that come from whiskey, who in any manner consents to, aids or abets its sale, and he who votes for men who are willing to allow this state of af? fairs to continue, may live to see the Idol of his heart and his mother's Joy fill a drunkard's grave, from local option whiskey. What is the use of building Young Men's Christian Association buildings if we are to send men to Columbia who are wiling to alllow these five counties to supply the whiskey to send them to their eternal ruin. T claim a right to speak plainly, for In 1876 I left my young wife and her babies and at the call of Wade I Hampton, went with others and stood a ith them in front of the State House, and it needed only one word from Hampton anc the United States Troops who barred his way, would have been swept aside, though It cost us our lives, and in all the years of the past, I have don* what I could to help build the waste places of our beloved State. But today I would rather 'iave no one represent us, than cast a vote for any man who Is wil? ling to vote to allow the sale of this HAPPY RESULTS. Have Made M.iny Sumter Residents Enthusiastic. No wonder scores of Sumter citizen? srow enthusiastic. It Is enough to make anyone happy to find relief after years of suffering. Public statements like the following are but truthful rep? resentations of the dally work done In Sumter by Doan's Kidney Pills. William Burdell, 211 Church St.. Sumter, S. C, says: "I suffered from backache and sharp, shooting pains through my loins for some time. 1 could not rest well and in the morn? ing my back was very lame and stiff. I was also caused much annoyance b> too freepjent passages of the kidney secretion. Doan's Kidney Pills were finally recommended to me and I pro? cured a supply at China's Drug Store I can truthfully say that they gave be great relief. I have since been free from backache, and my kidneys have been normal. I feel so much better In every way that I can highly recom? mend Doan's Kidney Pills to any per? son suffering from kidney complaints." For sale by all dealers. Price 60c.
