Was -Growing Worse
Liver and! Stomach Troubles Too
Woak to Work Now Able to Do
Ail Her Housework.
u I 7as under the care of a physician
for two years and he was treating me for
ttomach akd liver troubles and female
difficultieslbut I only grew worse under
liis treatment. I was so weak I could do
hardly any worfc. I was at last induced
to try Hood's Sarsaparilla and Hood's
Pills and these medicines have done me
fcrood that I now weigh 112
"pounds and am able to do all my house
work. I fi,rmly believe J should have been
in my grave today if it had not been for
Hood's Sarsaparilla. My little girl was
afflicted with phthisic. ; I gave her Hood's
Sarsaparilla and it has relieved her."

Our Correspondent Witnesses the W.
C. Senatorial Contest The Weather

Writer's Eye Ice a Comfortable
Seat Disnensary Patriotic.
, I have often heard of a regulation
South Carolina campaign, and 1
have wan ed to see a sample.
vhh, Mr. Editor, was gratfiied here
today.
The U. S. Senatorial primary be
gan here. It opened with three
races, with probably two more be
fore midnight, after then, the pri
mary law shut off all others Stae
Senator May field, of Aiken, U . S.
Secator McLaurin, of Marlboro
county and Ex IT. S. Serator J LiM
Iroj, of Laurens (Oapt. J W Clark's
ton), are now in the race; the first
named was not present today. j
In all my life I have never seen
o hot in bo short a
time and the affair was even opened
with prayer, but tbe preacher prayed
as if be;didn't expect Providence j to
be much in evidence. I
cenator aurin has an open
facemakes me think of Theo.
Kiuttz, of Salisbury; but Mr. Irby
loois like Congressman Linney, of
N. p. They favor as mucn as any
two cow-peas I eyer saw, except
Irby is taller than the "Bull of the
Brush ies"
' McLaurin defended his cotton
tariff speech, Irby beat the bush
and jumped on McLaurin with tbe
epithet of a "ringed-streaked dis
honest politician and kin kj "headed
10c cent lawyer," , and gradual ;y
warmed up The crow4 was with
McLaurin. By and by, Air. Irby'a
remarkB pricked Senator McLaurin
to the quick, and the latter rushed up
to the former white with rage and
ready to mak6 a job for and under
taker I kept an eye on each fellow'
gun pocket. The crowd whooped and
screamed as if nothing but a bull
fight was being pulled off, 'while
level heads rushed up and scotched
what ernd every minute to be' a
saw-mill, "
This is the first appointment
mark you ! They do say the cam
paign warms np as it proceeds !
While l imagine what the rend may
be, I can not resist recalling the
letter Senator Vance said an illiter
ave but emphatic mountaineer had
him to write. The mountaineer
dictated; and after writing the date
Senator Vince inqaired of his client
what ne should say. The mountaineer
cooly replied : "Call him a d n in
fernal scoundrel and thief, and grad
ually warm up from that poiat.gow
ernor." ,
T Rnnnppt- tbio Ronafm-ioi oJ.
1 suspect this Senatorial cam
paign wui ne similar; ptrrnaps some
medical college can get a ssmple for
dissecting purposes in 4 a week
or so.- f .. .;" i ' :l
All -the candidates are reform
democrats, but Mr. McLaurin is not
so reform as is Irby. After every
sentence in Irby's speech the crowd
'hurrahed" for McLaurin theH the
former railed on the audience and
swore he was no "Jersey Bull," nor
'he didn't have feathers on his legs"
and such expressions as these. The
crowd lhat howled at him are the
ones who howled for him when he
ran against Senator Hampton some
years ago.
I have seen a sample of a South
Carolina campaign I am not hank
ering for any more. I am not ex
actly afraid to go within two miles
of one; of these mills again, but
frankly, Mr. Editor, I had rather be
a living coward than a dead hero, or
words to thatfffect.
Near Wedgefield, Sumter county
this morning I saw 20 ploughs do
iag service in a 2000-acre field of
cotton, which ia as high as the little
donkey; Master Fred Oiell used to
drive. The field is as level as the
court house yard.- Corn hsre is out
in silks, and crop prospects are fine
and oicycles and awfully pretty girls
are numerous in Sumter.
This place has three ce factories
all doing well, too." Competition,
however, has caused . the price to
come dowa to 4 pounds for a cent or
100 poamis for 20 cents. It is so
cheap here that the draymen use a
200 p and 'cake fpf a; Pat, rather
than a cracker box. The coolest-
looking set of colored people I ever
saw. ; - ' -V-'-

Electric Bitters is a medicine
suited for any season, but perhaps
more generally . needed,! when the
languid exhausted feeling vrevails.
when the liver is ' torpid and slug
gi)Bh and the 7 need of a tonic and
alterative is felL . A prompt use of
this medicine has often averted
long an'3 perhaps fatal bilious fevers
No medicine will act more surely in
counteracting and freeing the system
from the malarial poison Headache
