Real Merit

Is the. characteristic OF Hoods
sarsaparilla, and it is manifested d
every day in the remarkable cures
this medicine accomplishes. Drug
gists say: When we. sell a bottle OF
Hoods Sarsaparilla to a new Gus
toner We are sure to see. him back
in q few weeks after more,-proving
that the good results from a trial
bottle warrant continuing its use.
This positive merit Hoods sarsapa:-
rilla possesses by virtue Of the Pecu-
liar Combination, Proportion and
Process used,in its. preparation, and
by which all the. remedial value OF
the ingredients used is retained.

Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Will you kindly give me space IN
your columns for the following
thoughts on the Congressional redis-
tricting bill now under discussion.
The original of that bill is in my
W handwriting, and [ may be
called the father Of it, if there
be such a thing in Legislation.
Before saying anything about the
bill itself, I want to say a word about
a statement in your editorial of the
1lth instant. In speaking of the
position of the Dispatch in regard to
the bill, you say: at believed, and
does now believe, that the redistrict-
ing bill was unwise in principle, and
that the thought of. such 5 mon
strous wrong al conceived ina
spirit Of revenge for the defeat OF
DR.. Stokes, and not out Of any con-
sideration of right and justice" I
am sorry that these words have been
used, for there are usually two sides
to every question, and each indlvi-
dual is entitled to his opinion; but the
plane of discussion is certainly very
low when it is chargedthst any meas
ure is supported by motives so base as
"revenge." So far As I am concerned
revenge had nothing to do with get
ting up or supporting the bill, nor do
1 think it had anything odo with the
adherence of other parties to the
measures. Whenever I get 80 low in
the plane of craftsmanship as to sup
port any measure for revenge, then l
will at once resign my place, and ask
u citizens to put in my stead some
more worthy man. Permit this hope
to be realized-that in this and all
other discussions in this county, each
and all of US may think our friends
on the other side actuated from the
HIGHEST motives.
There are reasons of political
'iustice" and political right for this
bill. I cannot think that the 1900
hundred votes given MIR. Stokes and
the 700 hundred given Mr.. Brawley
were cast for those gentlemen re-
spectively, because they were simply
Mr.. Stokes, and Mr.. Brawley; but l
do think the people Of Lexington
voted for these gentlemen as the rep
resentatives of certain political prin-
ciples. Mr. Stokes advocated free
coinage of silver, and increased cur
rency, and MI. Brawley the opposite'
then the issue was plainly made, and
the vote was upon the issue,
and not the men. Any other con,
ception of the vote seems TO me, te
place the intelligent and honest 70.

iii. 4Brawley, On from Charleston,
but because he antagonized their
political faith on the currency ques-
ton, and the people Of Charleston
fought Mr.. Stokes, not because he
was simply Mr.. Stokes, but because
be antagonized their political faithSon
the currency question. Now this
vote indicates that 1900 hundred men
in Lexington county r in favor Of
free coinage, of silver , and 700 hun
dred are opposed to to it, and I am
Informed that about the same ratio
exists among the white voters Of
Orangeburg and Colleton.
Now lets putourfriends in Charles
ton on the same plane-they gave
almost their entire vote to Mr.. Draw
ley, not because he was Mr.. Brawley
and a Charlestonian, but because he
was the exponent Of their political
faith on the currency question, for it
is well know that Charleston is OPP
posed to the free coinage Of. silver
and increased currency.
We are Anglo Saxons, and 80 r
Charlestonians. We do not give
up political principles, which We be-
lieve correct, and to the best interest
of the country, without a hard strug-
gle to the bitter end, and 50 do
Charlestonians. Then upon the
presumption that the last primary
election was a full and fair one, there
is il the First Congressional District
today more men opposed to free
coinage of silver and increase in cur
rency, than are in favor Of it. The
history of South Carolina bears me
out in saying-South Carolinians
are slow to turn from a political
creed, and if this is correct, it will
be a long time until we get a free
coinage representative in Congress
from the present First District. Now
giving to US all hal credit for honest
political conviction which is due US,
the result will be that the people Of
Charleston will vote for a Lexington,
or Charleston man, only upon con-
dition that he is in political symps.
thy with them, and this is right.
And so the majority of the Licking
ton people will vote for a Charleston
or Lexington man only upon condi-
ton that he is in political sympathy
with hal majority, and this again is
right. Willie all of US would be
proud to have a son of Lexington in
the Halls of Congress, still the ma
jority does not desire, o. can it af-
ford to trample under foot a political
principle for such honors, or indeed
for any honors. The fight now is
for political principle, and not for
county ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
But you say, if there is a majority
of white men in the First District
who = opposed to free coinage Of
silver, then the minority must sub
nit. That is good Democratic prip-
ciple. Now apply your principle to
the matter in hand. Our government

"Old Ben Butler is dead! Early
yesterday morning, the angel Of
death, acting under the devils orders,
took him from earth and landed him

been removed from earth, and even
pity the devil the possession he has

that the editor Of the American
