---....-. ..-.-..--. CHESTER, September II.
The Democratic demonstration was great
Success The procession was composed OF the
Lee Light Infantry, the Chester Light Dra-
goons, and the Democratic Clubs from Black
stocks, Rossville, Halsellville, Carmel Hill,
Torbit's Mill, Lowrysville, Fishing Greek,
Hazlewood, Rich Hill and Landsford. The
Clubs were mounted and wore red shirts.
They presented fine appearance, and looked
as if they were bent upon victory despite all
opposition. There were a considerable num-
ber of colored men in the procession, who
shouted 'shurrah for HAMPTON as loud as
anybody else. The procession extended about
a mile in length, and numbered about fifteen
hundred men. Mr. Grandson Williams was
Chief Marshal assisted by Messrs. John L.
Chambers, James Johnston and James T.. At
kinson. Three bands dispensed enlivening
music, thereby adding greatly to the enthusl-
asm of the occasion. After marching through
Main and other streets, the procession wended
it's way, amid great cheering, to Brice's grove,
where halt was called. There platform
and other preparations had been made for
speaking. The speakers were Hon. w. D.
Simpson, Gen. johnson Hagood, Hon. j. 81.
Evins, and Col. Jas. Lipscomb, who addressed
the assembled multitude in the order named.
AS the Chester Democracy were present and
listened to these speakers, and as the York
Democracy will, doubtless, soon be favored
with similar privilege, it is unnecessary to
dilate upon their remarks. Suffice it to say,
that the burden Of their speeches was the glo-
rious achievements of the Democracy in the
past, and what they proposed to accomplish in
the future. Col. Lipscomb's speech probably
took better with the masses, as it was more on
the ''blood and thunder order. The close of
the speaking ended the appointed exercises of
the day. Hampton's day in Chester, though
observed without the presence of Hampton,
was great day, and one which will be fol-
lowed by momentous results.
Mr.. r. T.. Mockbee, defeated candidate for
the Legislature, made brief speech late in
the afternoon on Main street, in which he
branded as falsehood the report that he in
tended to run as an independent candidate.
He declared himself Democrat, and was
willing and ready at all times to serve the
Democratic party. After this some bad blood
was raised between Mockbee and some of his
political opponents ;but fortunately, through
the Intervention Of friends, difficulty was
prevented. It is fervently hoped that all i'll
feeling will soon pass away, and that the Ches-
ter Democracy will become united and har-
monious in the support of the nomination.

Shanghai breeds, divide them in
halves, and then place half OF each
together; hatch it and the product
will be a hen with one leg shorter
than the other-so when the hen
stands on the long leg she can't reach
down to scratch with the shorter, and
when she tries to stand on the short
one the long one will walk her out of

Apples of Gold in Pictures of Silver

"a word fifty spoken is like apples of gold
IN pictures of silver" When the BODY be-
comes diseased the mind is thereby necessari-
iy influenced. National wars, State dissen
sions, neigborhood broils and family differ
ences, are more frequently than otherwise the
result OF diseased and dsorded constitutions.
When the body is suffering, the mind, acting
IN sympathy, becomes irritated and perplexed
When the physical system is in health. the
iaind perceives things in their true light, and
the disposition assumes very different phase.
Nothing, more directly tends to DESTROY the
happy, cheerful disposition of a woman. and
render her peevish, nervous and fretful than a
constant endurance of uterine disorders. The
disease peculiar to woman takes aways the
elasticity and buoyancy of health and reduces
her body and mind to mere wreck. DR..
Pierces Favorite Prescription is a oreat seace-
MAKER in family. No woman suffering from
uterine disorders can afford to be without this
remedy. The Favorite Prescription saves un.
necessary doctor bills, prevents divorces
wards off suicides, brings back Joyous and
buoyant feelings, restores the woman to healt
and her family to happiness. 1t is sold by IA
druggists.
