The great tattle was fought
South Carolina last Tuesday, but n
like the great armies in Belgium,
was fought with ballots and not bu
lets. We like our way of settling di
fevences rather than Europe's. I wj
so glad that we had little quarrelir
and no fighting in Union county tl
day of the election. There was sonv
thing said and done that ought not
have been said. I was told that son
one in Union was declaring that nor
but gamblers and drunkards voted f(
Blease. Suck talk might cause troi

loved his dram or a fox hunter, for

would get some of it, but I would b

bull dogs?but there are exceptions t
all rules.
As to who will be elected Govei
nor on September 8th, no one knows
either of them will make a good on<
so it is only a matter of choice bt
tween men. Some one asked m
where was the twenty odd thousan
men enrolled that did not vote,
could not answer but mavhp tho
took the advice of Jennings and Po,
A lock, who told the people that th
record of Blease was too had, an
Smith's too weak, and they believe
to vote for them would be to throi
votes away, so did not vote at all.

assurances of support from every

in- .Clinkscales will devote much of his

on their oars. Hard and consistent
work is being done throughout the 1

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors
I ronounced it a local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by eontieatment,
pronounced it incurable.
Science have proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease., and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio,
is the' only constitutional cure on the
market. It is taken internally. It
lets directly on the blood and mu ous
