Rembert. Aug *23.?We have had a
few days with rain, and we think
overybody has made good use of the
time trving to save their fodder.
We have a good deal of sickness

have more sunshine and less rain, we
fear that fever will prevail almost
like the forest fires, which are spread?
ing death and destruction as they go.
Mr. C. L. Baker is quite sick with
fever; we think that he will soon be
wp again.

the day which will bring Joy or sad?
ness to the candidates is fast ap?
proaching, and to the defeated ones
let us say, take courage for it Is

We have always admired truthful?

CANDIDATES AT DALZELL.
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, a negro boy who has
the reputation of being one of the

is In serious trouble again.
Monday night, between the hours
of eight and nine o'clock, he enter?

was committed to Jail in default of

PROHIBITION OR NOTHING.
Mr. 1>. 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.

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."
