Capt. r. A. Chandler.

Robert Alexander Chandler, ST.,
died at his residence, in the Fork of
Black River, Monday night, June
25th, aged about sixty-Gve years.
Capt. Chandler was in usual health,
and ate hearty supper before re-
firing. About 10 o'clock he awaked
with a choking sensation, and asked
his wife to get him some cough mix
ture. Before she could get it, he was
out of the bed. His wife saw that he
was not able to stand, and hastily as
sisted him to lie down. In a few
moments, before the terrible thought
that even then he was in deaths en-
brace, he was dead.
Capt. Chandler had been for many
years ruling elder of the Manning
Presbyterian church, and was recog-
nized as one of the purest and best
men in the county. His death will
prove a great loss, not only to his
family and friends, but to the entire
community.
His funeral sermon will be preach
ed by Rev. JAS Mcdowell, N the
Presbyterian church, this morning at
9 o'clock.

There are now in Jail in this place,
awaiting trial at the October term of
court, two negroes charged with
violation of contract. Of course if
they could give bond it would be
al right, but since it appears
that they cannot, it seems hard
shat they must, during the en-
tire hot summer, and at an expense
to the county, lie in Jail. The law is
defective. Trial justices should have
jurisdiction in such cases, so that the
case could be speedily heard and dis
posed OF. We do not know the facts
IN either case, bat We venture the as
serton that not as much as S25 is in
yolyed. Yet, on account OF a defective
law, these poor unfortunate creatures
must lie IN jail, at an expense to the
county of not less than $40, four
months before they can be tried.
In one case especially the circum-
stances are peculiar. The party is an
old negro, July Gailuchat, who, while
actively engaged In work in the late
war, building Notifications for Con-
federate soldiers, had q leg shot off by
9 Yankee ball he was yesterday
committed to jail for violation OF con-
trsct. His case cannot be tried till
the October term of court.
We hope the next Legislature Will
change this law.

Conference.-The wife Of one OF
nv customers was terribly afflicted
with a loathsome skin disease, that
covered her whole body. She was
confined to her bed for several years
by this afaictiou, and could not help
herself at all. She could not sleep
from a violent itching and singing
of the skin. The disease batfied the
skill OF the physicians who treated it.
Her husband began finally giving his
wife swift's Specific, and she com
menced to improve almost immedl-
ately, and 10 few weeks she was ap-
parently well. She is now hearty,
fne-looking lady, with no trace OF the
affection left. Yours very truly,

The Republican National Conven-
ton met in Chicago, June 19, and it
took them till Monday, the 25th, to
nominate a ticket, and then poor
one.
Benjamin Harrison, Of Indiana,
was nominated Monday for presi-
dent; and Levi P. Morton, of New
York, for vice president.
The ticket is an ordinary one, but
the Republicans will make desper-
ate effort to elect it, as it means life
or death to the party. Should Cleve-
land be elected again, the Republican
party will go to pieces

Judge Al6sich, dated at Barnwell, June 18th,

How to Judge Candidates.

Candidates for Office, says the Christian
Eesqhbor, are generally subject to various
tests as to fitness for the place to which they
aspire. This sitting impartially done is
due tae people and nothing unjust to can
didste.
There is one important test, which, as
far as memory serves, we have never known
applied to candidates, viz prompt payment
CT debts. Does he pay his debts? But as
some men would pay who honestly are un-
able to do so. the test may be expressed
somewhat differently: Has the candidate
the reputation Of being good paymaster;
ur if from some misfortue or mistreatmeat
by other men, he is unable to pay, does he
give sufficient proof Of willingness and
purpose 10 pay, and that as soon as he can
honestly do so?
4 man who will evade, dodge. refuse or
decline to pay Just debts should not be sent
to the Legislature, OF Congress or be put ID
any Office Of honor or trost, high or low.
In sitting candidates 1t would not be out
Of place for voters to inquire: Does he pay
his debts? Does he try to pay? all ch-
GERS should be men that 'do justly. love
mercy and walk humbly with their God"
Those who nominatesmen for Office should
not put any man before the people whose
moral character is so crooked that a sincere
Christian cannot conscientiously vote for
him.
If those who nominate men for Office fail
to put forth men who have a clear moral
record and nominate others Of bsd morals
gamblers, sgindlers, men who wiz not pay
their debts, those who use whiskey aad
money to secure suffrage of voters-then
let Christian voter clear his own con-
science before God whether it be by voting

The present year is the fifth year of
modern times in which the aggregate OF
the figures is twenty five. and there will
be but five more years in which such
combination is possible prior to the year
2599. Probably few have ever heard Of
the old prophecy, which reads as follows:
In every future year of our Lord,
When the sum Of the figures is twenty-five,
Some warlike kingdom will draw the sword,
But peaceful nations in peace shall thrive.
Students of modern history will readily
recall how faithfully this prophecy has
been fulfilled in the four previous years
to which it applied.
In 1899 Russia, Denmark and Poland
formed the coalition against Sweden which
inaugurated the great war that ended in
the disastrous defeat of Charles XII at
Pultowa.
The year 1889 will ever be memorable
on account of the breaking out of the
French Revolution.
The year 1898 witnessed the campaign
of Bonaparte in Egypt, and the formation
of the second European coalition against
France,
In 1879 war broke out between Eng.
land and Afghanistan, followed by the
invasion of the latter country by British
troops.
In what manner the prediction is to be
verified in 1888 remains yet to be seen, but
the present condition of Europe seems to
promise an abundant ful6lment of the
prophecy philadelphia Inquirer.

There are two usual ways of doing what Nature
sometimes does incompletely. namely, to re-
lieve the bowels. One is to swallow drastic

and with pain, the other is to take Hostetter s
Stomach Bitters, the effect of which is not vie
lest, bat sufficiently thorough, and which does
not gripe the intestines II the FIRST is selected,
the person employing it need not expect perman.
ent benefit, and he cannot hope to escape the de-
bilitating reaction which leaves the organs as bad
or worse Of than before. If, on the other hand,
he resorts to the Bitters, he can rely upon the
restoration OF . regular habit Of body, consequent
upon a renewal Of healthful tone in the intes-
