Increase the appetite by the use
of Ayers Cathartic Pills. They
cause the stomach, liver, and
bowels to perform their functions
properly, do not debilitate by
excessive stimuletion, and are not

Many rise in the morning with
a headache and no inclination for
breakfast. This is due to torpidity
of the liver and a deranged condi-
tion of the stomach. To restore
healthy action to these organs,
nothing is so efficacious as an
occasional dose of Ayers Pills.

Complete the Rolls.

Gen. H. L. Farley, while on hi
tour of inspection throughout th'
State, is looking after the Confed
crate rolls. He brought with hin
to Edgefeld last week the old mus
ter rolls of some of the Edgefelc
companies, which he leaves here
with Mr.. N. G. Evans to be deliv.
cred to survivors of the companies
named. Along with these are
blanks, so that the rolls can be re.
visedby the survivors in each com.
pany, and correct rolls made out
Such rolls should show the record
ofeach individual-when enlisted,
when and where wounded, impris.
oned, died, killed, etc.-all, in fact,
that can be ascertained at this
time, IN regard to each man in
each company.
He advises that the survivors of
each company below named have
meeting at some time during the
summer, and taking the muster
rolls of the companies which be
brings, revise the whole list, adding
such names as may be left out, and
taking the blanks furnished fill
out a complete roll of each COM
pany.
The object in doing this is not
only to have a complete roll of
each company with The record of
each man on file in the Adjutant
Generals Office, but that this record
may be published in permanent
book form by the State, and thus
preserved during all time.
Gen. Farley is exceedingly an1-
ious, and it is very important that
this work should be carefully COM
pleted this year, as an appropria-
ton will be asked for and doubt
less granted to secure publication
at once. No company should be
left out, and every man should see
to it that his company roll is COM
pleted in good time.
1t is little strange that EDGE
field county. which contributed SO
much to the war, in men and ma
terial, should be so far behind in
completing her rolls. Let her old
soldiers go to work, and at once, to
see that it is done.
The following are the muster:
Company ,s7FFh Rsagte: Rea & (l1SiEens) Il
Benz. Roper commanding.
Company "K"7th Regt (Aikens)
John H. Burress commanding.
Company "M" 7th Regt (Aikens)
Jerry Goggans commanding.
Of this regiment companies
&C." &c, "H," and "E" have no muster
rolls, and Gen. Farley suggests
that the survivors meet, and tax
ing the blanks which Mr.. Evans
has proceed to make out the rolls.
Besides the above, he leaves
muster rolls and blanks with Capt.
Evans for the following companies:
Company Of" 10Th Regt., Capt.
w. H. Norris commanding.
Company "K," oath Regt., Capt.
S. S. Tompkins commanding.
Gen. Farley would be glad to
receive any information in regard
to the location of the missing
companies of the 7th Regt.,
Aiken's or Bland's, and to furnish
additional rolls for them, i. e.
Companies &C." ''H," and &C."
When the rolls are completed,
and publication made, it is con-

statement of each command, regi-
ment, or brigade, including the

CHICAGO people are inquiring why
it is that Kansas is sending a larger
per cent. of her population to the fair
than any other state. There are sew
eral reasons. First, Kansas people
are more intelligent than those of anv
other state, as the last state cleo
tion proved beyond doubt. And
then our people are inclined to be
more hopeful and cheerful since they
see how easy 1t is to make a political
change when it becomes necessary.
"The blues" is not a prevalent disease
here. Again it must be admitted
that a great many people from other
states, Missouri for instance, go to
Chicago and register "from Kansas"
because in these times of bad legisla-
tion and administration 1t is an honor
to belong to the state that protests
against such things.

AN ERROR.

A serious error occurred in the edi-
torial last week relating to the saw
ingS Of the state under Populist
administration. The statement of
fees returned to the state treasury
begins with ''twenty-one days in Janu-
ary, 1893" For the other months
the fees returned are for the entire
months, whereas the printer makes us
say for ''twenty.one days. in each
month. Our readers will please make
the correction.

If some prominent politician should

kind was thought OF after the desdl y

THE s0-OALLBD ANTITRUST CON-
VENTTON.

l bSO1 III hCCOIuauGo Will r0SOIUblOu
introduced by Senator !!Donnelly in
the Minnesota senate, and adopted
by the legislature of that state, asked
the governors of the several states to
appoint delegates to an antitrust
convention to meet in Chicago on
June 5, to consider methods whereby
the evils growing out of the great
combines that now control every pro-
duct of industry might be sbsted
That convention met in accordance
with the call. Thirty states and
territories were represented - dele
gates having been duly appointed by
their several governors.
It soon became apparent to those
who had gone there with the earnest
hope that something practical might
be done, that the convention had been
packed by republican and democratic
governors with the tools of the COR
porstions and combines. We shall
devote very little space to the pro-
ceedlngs of that mongrel body.
A committee on resolutions was sp-
pointed consisting of one delegate
from each state and territory repre-
sented, and, in accordance with the
program, that committee, like the
convention itself, was packed in the
interest of the monopolies whose ag-
gressions the convention was osten-
sibly called to oppose. E. Rosewater,
of the Omaha Bee, was made chair
man of the committee, aud the reso-
lutions reported and adopted fairly
indicate the spirit of the majority of
the delegates.
Resolutions were introduced by
1gnatius DonneIly, by General
Weaver, by G. @. Clemens and others
suggesting some practical methods
of dealing with the evils of trusts and
combines, but the majority of the
delegates were not there for that
kind of business. As Mr.. Donnelly
sptly expressed it, they proposed to
treat their evils with "RoseWster."
A more servile tool of corporations
than the chairman of the committee
could not have been found for the
position.
The Pennsylvania delegation made
itself particularly obnoxious. One
member of it acknowledged himself
to be one of the owners and operators
OF anthracite coal mines, and of
course such men could not be ex-
pected to be in hearty sympathy with
a movement designed to secure better
wages and better conditions to the
coal miner on the one hand, and less
of the consumer of coal on
the other. The dishwater, or Rose
water resolutions adopted by the ma
iority, are sufficient of themselves to
indicate the determination that moth
ing practical should be accomplished.
Experience has amply demonstrated
that penal legislation will neither
