From the signs of the times the
political fight next year will be
quite q lively contest, with prob
ably the same opposing candidates
In the field for the Governorship.
And now, as queries are in order,
we presume the ADVERTISER will
not object to telling tall the world
and the balance of mankind" which
side it will "back," in case the same
fight should be made ?-Heratd.
No indeed! If the political drama
of 1890, in its entirety, should be
re-enacted next year, the ADvER-
TIsER would fill the same role, and
work for Gilman, striving to &C
quire q highly cultivated taste for
crow. But the conditions will be
more or less changed. We shall
see what we shall sec and say what
we shall say when the future be-
comes less dimly outlined so that
we can discuss it intelligently.
A good democrat is all we want
and at present, "coming events"
cast no "shadows" before the AID
VERTISER.

Very little has been said and
perhaps very little is known, by
the press, about DIR. Babcock, Gov.
Tillman's appointee to the superin-
tendency of the Asylum. From
this, 1t may be taken for granted
that DIR. Babcock is not q mere pol
itician and it is fair to presume
that Gov. Tillman has given him
the position only after being con-
vinced Of his fitness for 1t. Cir
cumstances indicate that the Gov
ernor has acted with good sense,
care, and discretion.

Frankly and fairly the Herald
answers our query as to how it
stands on the Sub-treasury. 1t will
back Terrell as the exponent ofthe
Su%b-treasury scheme and Tillman
rs the exponent of State politics.
1t may be that Tillman will per-
sist in antagonizing the Sub-treas-
ury, and yet presume to leave the
sphere Of State politics long enough
to run for the u. s. Senate against
q doughty champion of Alliance
demands like Col. Keitt; in which
event, the grim duty of fighting
Tillman would confront the Herald.
We believe, however, hat the Her
aid will v be placed in any
such awkward situation.

There is more catarrh in this Sec
ton Of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
%incurable. For q great many years
doctors pronounced it a local dis.
ease and prescribed local remedies
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven
Catarrh to be q constitutional dis
ease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. HALLS Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by +. j. Che

IIdgcfield's Alliance Does Not
Favor the Sub-treasury,

EDGEFIELD, S. c., July 10.-This
morning at an early hour Alliance
men from the four corners of the
county came by droves to attend
the meeting of the County Alliance
and to hear the debate on the sub
treasury bill between Governor
Tillman and Hon. w. j. Talbert.
The court house was filled to it's
uttermost, but the doors were
closed, and your correspond
ent not being q member of the AL
lance was not permitted to be
present, consequently knows moth
ing Of the discussion except what
could be heard from the echo of the
speakers voices now and then.
The impression is that Governor
Tillman got the best Of the debate.
After the discussion q resolution
was offered to endorse the sub
treasury bill, which was tabled,
and a resolution was offered to
adopt the Ocala platform, which
was showed under seven feet deep.
This clearly indicates that the
sub-treasury is not wanted in
Edgefield.-Augusta Chronicle.

LITHIA SPRINGS.
Testimonials.

WATERLOO, s. y. Apr. 10, '91
MIR. ). Il. HARRIS,
DEAR SIR:-My en-
gagements are such that 1 have not
time to call the attention of medi-
cal profession to the cases that
might be collected from the mass
that have accumulated during
the thirty-eight (3S) years of
constant use of the waters of your
Lithia Spring. The waters of
the Lithia Spring are odorless and
colorIess, free from salinary taste,
rather palatable- When taken in
a considerable 2quantity they do
not %nauseate, purge or produce
any feeling Of discomfort. L find
from an analysis of tho waters they
contain cloride sodium, carbonate
potash, carbonate soda, carbonate
lithia, carbonate iron and s%ulphatc
magnesia. The waters act directly
upon the mucous coates of the
stomach and alimentary canals
they are powerfully Alternative
and tonic. They are soothing to
intlamed or irritatcd surfaces.
They react upon the blood, chang.
ingm it from acid to alkaline.
In indigestion, catarrh of st0m-
ach and g~astralgia, supplemented
with a proper diet they are a GER
tain cure. The action upon the
Kidneys is marked. The sodium,
potash, soda and lithia are the best
solvents of uric acid, all calculi Of
an acid character, whether bileary
or ciptic are steadily dissolved, 1
am confident that the profession
will find it very useful in cases
where this class Of water is re.
