HON. LuMAN 4. BROWN.

The above named gentleman is the
greenback candidate for Governor.
He was born in Connecticut in the year
1873 and is consequently in his sixty
seventh year, though he would from
his appearance be rated much younger
He came 70 Missouri in 1880. His
antecedents, politically are democratic,
ever up to within a comparatively short
time. He served four years as a
member ofthe legislature from Howard
county and has a good record as a
friend of education and did us good
service in connection with our Normal
schools. Our short interview with
him last Friday impressed us that he is
man gilmore than average ability
and observation with strong sense
of principle or duty, and fair share
of yankee shrewdness. Mr.. Brown is
a farmer. His present home is Boons-
boro, in this state. OF course his
chance of election are next to nothing,
with the odds the other way.

HANCCCk'S LETTER.

After weary weeks of waiting Han
cocks letter WAS given to the press
just one day too late for our last issue,
and for what there is in it he might
about as well said simply: Il endorse
the democratic platform adopted at
Cincinnati" For that is really about
all he says. Ifhe had tried to get up a
letter in which every vital question is
evaded he could not have succeeded
better, and the evidence certainly is
that that is just what he was trying to
do. The uncertainty and evasions are
very different from the clear ringing
tones of Gen. Garfeld's letter, and
shows the hadiwork of the men who
expect to control his actions for the
next four years if he is elected. He
has been in full conference with these
men-the leading democrats. Hence
the letter Is what we might have expect
ed; ignoring the tariff question, the
currency, the Chinese question, and
every other question upon which the
people Of the United States feel really
interested. 1t is simply collection Of
nothings so carefully worded that the
different factions of the democratic
party may take no exceptions to it.
To see the difference in the two men
and the great superiority of Garfield,
all the thinking man has to do is to
read and compare the letters of the
two men. The one weak and evasive
and the other clear and vigorous,
demonstrating clearly that one is a
statesman and the other not

Come willingly forward,

OF Johnnies and Greenres
Marching hand in hand.
Come work, come work.

So do not prolong.
Come work, come work.
There's Hancock and English
And the Democrats too,
Think they can fool us,
By Haunting the blue.
You bet they are mistaken,
They'll soon find it out,
The people are called on,
Their forces to rout.

They have always been faithful
To the red, white and blue.
They have beaten the demmles
On many field.
And intend in November
To elect Garfield.

a CARD TO THE PUBLIC.

WeaSk a careful reading and a thought
full consideration of hat follows. 1t tx
now over twelve years since q new cure
for chronic diseases was discovered,
known al "CoMPoUND OXYGEN" The
results which have followed its usenp
t., this time have been SO remarkable
that it is beginning to attract tho widest
attention. Many intelligent physicians
in various parts Of tho country have,
after a careful investigation of it's scien-
tiGic and pathological claims, used ii in
cases where all other known remedies
had failed, and with a success alike sur
prising to themselves and their patients.
In Consumption, Catarrh, Asthma, Bron-
chitis, Headache, Dyspepsia, and the
wide range of Neuralgia disorders from
which so many suffer lifelong fortunes,
it has rarely failed to give relief, and in
MANY cases to make permanent cures.
II is not a drug, but a new combination
of the two elements which make up u
common air, giving oxygen in excess.
It is taken by inhalation, and cures by
natural and orderly processos-first, By
eliminating the excess OF carbon which
has accumulated in the system n
serondly, by a rehabilitation of all the
great nervous centres. In order to give
the public an opportunity to learn all
about this new treatment, we have pre-
pared a carefully written Treatise, in
which is presented a history of the dis
cevery of compound Oxygen" a state
mont of it's Scientific Basis and Mode OF
Action, and large details of the results
which have followed it's administration.
This is sent free by mail TO any ono who
may desire to receive it. Address Drs.

For the Advertiser
LET us BOUND FORW ARD INTO
LIMITLESS PROSPERITY.

MEssRs. EDITORS In the commence
ment of a New Year let US recasL our
horoscope. and see, if we can, what is the
present and future prospect Of South Car
DINA. In the recent past, South Carolina
has been as much a sealed book to outsi-
ders as the Empire Of China or the Islands
of Japan. Our statesmen seem to have
been content with getting position with
out making any great effort to let the
world know. especially capitalists ard hon
est industrious immigrants, the boundless
hidden treasures that lie beneath our Car
DINA sol. But in our anomalous conai-
ton under the rule Of the G)ths and
Vandals that robbed our greater and bet
ter than Italian domain, no great advance
could he made to develop the rich resources
that providence hus given US with a Law
ish hsnd. The mountains that skirt our
Northern border contain vast quantities
of iron ore; the upper tier OF counties,
stretching from the Savannah on the west
to the great Pea D SC on TIL, east, are rich
in gold bearing quartz. which will amply
pay capital, labor and energy to bring it
to the surface; while in the counties
stretching along our coast. we have land,
marsh and river, that are now producing
the best phosphate rock known to the
| commercial world. Most of the counties
of the State will produce rye. barley,
wheat, oats, and some Of the cultivated
grasses as we'll as any of the Western
or Northern States. in addition to the
great staples Of corn. cotton. rice, and, l
may add, sugar. IN short, we have a
salubrious climate, an Italian sky, and 8
rich soil that will yield the products of
the tropics as well as those of a colder
cline. Lumber is abundant, and water
power is ready in every county Of the State,
waiting the advent Of capital and labor to
make it subservieatto the withdrawing
energies of man. With these factors for
greatness, wealth and intelligence, what
is to keep South Carolina from bounding
forward mtolimitless prosperity
1t seems to me, we should bury Methu
selah-he is deadl-and crowd into the
next decade all the centuries of that illus
trious parsonage in one great effort to CO.
cree greatness, from the hand Of Nature
that bids US be great.

knights Of Honor.

From a recent paper we learn that this
order is now only six years old, but from
an humble beginning has made remarka-
bic progress. 1t has now in the country
1901 lodges with $4,000 active members.
Within the six years of its existence the
order has distributed and paid IN benefits
from its widows and orphans fund $2,O6l,-
03O.6l, and its average annual distribution
and payments amount to 100000 The
Knights of Honor is a grand, organized
systematic charity, with its members chief
" from the middle classes of society. 1t
is also of great advantage by elevatlng It's
members socially and morally, and is most
beneficial in its. relief Of suffering ;and
prevention of poverty, and is therefore a
benefit to the whole community even out
side of its own organization. It's STABILITY
and s%oundness have been thoroughly test
ed, the pledges Of its members can be;re-
lied on, as has been amply roved; The
